WORK AT HARRISBURG.
Special to REPUBLICAN,.
HARRISBURG, March 80, Z


HARRISBURG, March 30, So
Very little work was accomplished
this week owing to the excitement
over the Bullitt Bill which occupied
the time of the Senate Her Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plcnepo-
tentiary to the 4th ward of Phila., the
Hon. VIM. McMullin, accompanied
by great many assistants, graced the
floor of the Senate during the debate.
The House had appropriation clothes
on and was very liberal to a few char.
liable institutes, among the bills re-
ported favorably was one appropriating
$4,000 to the Hahnemann Hospital,
Phila; Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh,
$4,000; Northern Hospital, Pitts.
burgh, $4,000; Williamsport Hospi-
tai, 10000; for salary Of clerk to
the state lunacy commission, $4,000
and $4,000; for expenses Harrisburg
State Lunatic Hospital, $29, 900;
Wayne monument at Erie, $500.
Among the bills reported favorably
was one imposing fine not exceeding
$500 and Imprisonment not exceeding
one year on skating rink proprietors
for allowing girls and boys to skate
together, or for allowing minors TO
skate without the written consent Of
their parents.
The Ways and Means Committee had
lively time over the general revenue
bill on Thursday night. With q de-
sire to keep up the State income they
negatived and reported to the House
Friday morning all the bills repeating
the State taxes on iron manufacturing
establishments. The latter bill is the
hobby of Mr.. Crawford of Phila., who
came in just in time TO see it draw its
last breath and expire. He immedi-
ately raised a row; he said the iron
industry was languishing in Penn'a,
partly on account of taxation and
partly on account of Southern and
Western competition; it supports
thousands of families and should, be
fostered. Mr.. Colborn and Snodgrass
were of like opinion, and came to his
support; the Grangers led by Mr..
Rhone of Centre, making the fight
hot on the other side. Mr.. Rhone
said it was Infamous that there was
now tax of thirteen mills on farms
and only three and half on iron
manufacturers, and the Grapgers would
never submit to the additional injus.
tice proposed Brown of Erie warned
the Committee that the repeal of the
tax would put the Republican party
in hole-a dark deep hole--a bot
tomless pit, but did not mention il
they would pull the hole in after
them, nevertheless Crawford carried
his point and it was agreed to report
the bill afirmatively.
Auditor Gen'l Niles made a de,
tailed statement to the committee
showing how the revenues of the
State are being reduced below safety
and warned the Committee to be care
ful in their appropriations as the rev
enue next year would be about Sc, 300
900, from which must come $4,420
600, absolutely necessary appropria.
tions, leaving less than million dol
lars for charitable institutions; but in
the opinion of Snodgrass the Aud
Gen'l was more scared than hurt, ant
that he is confident the revenues the
next two years would exceed $4,000
000 Will write you more interesting
letter next week. ENYP.

Railroad Rates to the Exposition.

Editor Morning NclCS: In Saturdays
NEWS l noticed an announcement by the
Charleston and Savannah and Savannah,
Florida and Western Railways of a re-
duction of fare to New Orleans during the
exposition to only one cent per mile. This
would seem to show a liberal spirit, as
well as desire on the part of the railroads
mentioned to ''make hay while the sun
shines;' but, unfortunately for the expo
sitlon, as we'll as the railroads and the
wOuld-be sight-seers, it falls far short of
the mark. The companies mentioned say
they will run their excursion trains only
on Mondays, and the eXcursi0nist is linn.
tied TO fre dduS in only ttCO of which can
he see the exposition. They say in their
announcement: This limit" that is two
days. will afford abundant opportunity
for seeing the great exposition, as
well as the sights of the Cres-
cent City, Could anything be
more absurd! To see this exposition as
well as the sights of the city in tlCO days!
Why, 1t would take two weeks to see even
a small part of such an exposition, leav-
ing out the sights of the city altogether.
/ predict. MIR. Editor, that few will ac-
cept this Uery liberal p offer of the rail-
roads, in taking their money and allow
ing them no time to do more than take the
most hurried glance at the exposition
after travelling hundreds of miles to view
it. Why could not the railroads let Wis
itOrs stay at the exposition as long as
they might desire to stay? To the unso-
phisticated this limiting of the time seems
very unreasonable to say the least. l can
not perceive how it you'd initiate
against the interests of the railroads to
allow people to 90 and stay even until the
close 0f the exposition, if they saw fit.

MASON UNDER ARREST.

To be Tried In the United States Court
for Personating Revenue Officer.
b. f. Mason, indicted in the United
States District Court for personating an
internal revenue officer, was arrested at
Waynesborough yesterday and brought to
Savannah by Deputy Marshal Murphy.
The circumstances of Mason's crime have
already been published in the NEWS. Dur
inc the last term of the court he escaped
from the deputy marshal who then had
him in charge, and has succeeded in evad-
ing arrest until last week, when it was
learned that he was at Millen, on the
Central Railroad. a deputy marshal was
sent there and found him by the body of
his mother, who had just died. Under
the circumstances the officer did not plase
HIM under arrest, Mason promising
that he would come to Savannah as soon
as his mother was buried and would sur
render himself. lie did not keep his
promise, but was heard of at Waynes-
borough. He will be tried soon as a
Judge is procured to hold courts

WORK OF THE COURTS.

The Criminal Session of the City Court
The Grand Jury to Meet To-Day.
A colored girl named Mary London was
brought into the City Court yesterday to
be tried for having obtained from Joseph
2. DALEY goods valued at $40 by repre-
senting that she had been sent for them
by her father. The matter, after some
preliminary investigation, was settled
upon the payment of costs.
on Jan. 90 a negro named Moses Spanu
attempted to steal a chicken belonging to
NJ. :. Baker. The would-be thief was
found guilty and sentenced to three
months on the chain-gang.
The case of X. j. Smith, white man,
charged with assault and battery was
continued until Feb. Is, to allow the ac-
cused an opportunity to procure wit
nesses.
Among the cases called on the civil
docket was that of Henry Estelle against
The George A. Stone Nursery Company
and of ID. l. Peoples against ID. G. New
ton. In the former case an order was
granted allowing the withdrawal of the
dispositions, in the latter the jury return
ed a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum Of
$500. with interest from Dec. 1, 1884.
The grand jury will meet this morning.

The Successful Use of HydrOchIOrate
Cocaine at the Savannah Hospital.

The Successful Use of HydTOchlOrate of
Cocaine at the Savannah Hospital.
Among the patients under treatment at
the Savannah Hospital is Mr.. A. Der
mark, Of Bulloch county, a man about 30
years of age, who has been blind for six
years, the predispOsing cause being a
cataract formed in both eyes. About a
month ago he came to Savannah, and DIR.
J.P. :. Houstoun, in the presence of the
hospital medical staff, removed the cata-
ract in one eye, the operation causing no
pain, although the patient was perfectly
conscious, and as may be imagined, man.
ifested the deepest interest in the stages
of the operation. Until quite recently
the subjects OF similar operations were
placed under the influence of ether or
chlOrOfOrm, which rendered them uncOn-
scious of what was going on around
them while under its influence. In this
case hydr0chlOrate of cOcOaina was
dropped in the eye operated upon, rem
dering the patient insensible to pain, but
conscious of everything that was going
on. The other eve was also successfully
operated upon two weeks ago, and yes
terday the condition of the patient was
such as to justify the belief that he will
be able i'm a short time 10 return TO his
home with his sight restored.
