Peace In Panama.

PANAMA, Sept. j.-Benjamin
RIM, the negro who seized the tug
Gamstock, has been captured at
Boco del TOrO, where he was levy
ing a forced contribution on the
inhabitants. Charles Abraham,
the jamaican who was concern
ed with RIM in the seizure
of the tug, was also captured
at Porto Bello some three weeks
ago and has been placed in prison
at Colon. Still another of Pres.
tan's licutenantS has been taken at
Colon, and one, Simons, who had
more or less connection with the
revolutionary party and its dOings,
was made prisoner as he landed
from Jamaica, where he has been
for some months, and is also in
close confinement. The prisoners
are confined in jail here. An OK
ira number of the Official Gazette
has been published by order of
General MOntOya announcing the
complete subsection of the rebels
and the restoration Of peace
throughout the republic. The
damage by the fire of March 3 is
being repaired.

There is material for serious study
in the reports Of coal consumption
The output Of the anthracite COM
panics for eight months Of the
present year was 7G9,3j7 tons less
than the production for the cor.
responding period Of last year. II
was over 800 600 tons less than
the amount sent to market for the
first eight months of 1888. There
is evidence Of a steady decline in
anthracite consumption, While the
volume of the bituminOus trade up
to this time has exceeded the out.
put for the same period of 1884 by
49, 73 tons. The decline in the
aggregate consumption of anthra-
cite and bituminOus Goals is traced
by many to the inactivity Of the
railroad and iron interests, but it
is probable that the gigantic comb.
nation of coal carriers and pro.
duccrs is responsible for most OF
the decentralization Of the trade
and FOR the curtailment Of demand.

The Velocity Of Wheels.

A correspondent asks whether
the top of q wheel runs faster in
revolving than the bottom. 1t
depends. Every portion of the
circumference of a wheel whose
axle is stationary obviously move
with the same velocity. When the
axle ia that of a vehicle moving
forward the case is the same, SO
far as the mere motion of revOlu-
ton about the axle is concerned
But if the observer will take the
pains to notice closely how a wheel
measures it's circumference on the
ground as the vehicle progresses
he will see that the motion of re.
vOlutiOn about the wheels axis is
secondary to another revolution of
the entire wheel, hub and all, about
its point of contact with the ground
as a centre. Combining his atten-
ton to a perpendicular line passing
from the top of the wheel through
the hub to the bottom, he will per.
ceive that the advance of the yehi-
Gle implies the falling forward of
this line, its lower extremity beng
stationery while the upper moves
through an arc. If all the spokes
of the wheel except the two lying
in this line be supposed to be cut
away, the fact that there is a re-
volution about the lower end, as an
axis or turning point for the whole
becomes clearer to the eye and
mind. The circumference of a
wheel as it revolves supplies an
indefinite number of such turning
points, and so, the bottom of the
wheel never going to the rear
while the top is always going TO
the front, the vehicle progresses.
The top of the wheel, then, goes
forward faster than the bottom,
though its movement of revolution
about the axle is not faster than
that of the bottom. The seeming
difficulty of the case disappears
when it is remembered that the
hub is moving forward.

Hard Times!

Everybody wants to know, why
the times are harder now and mon
ey scarccr than ever before in the
recollection Of our people. 1t is
easy of explanation.
The last legislature, after unseat
ing 1G members of the two houses,
and thus obtained a twO-thlrd
majority Of the General Assembly,
passed law that ordered one hun
dred thousand dollars, each month
to be taken from the public treas
ury with which to buy in the bonds
of the State, which are not due un-
Til LIST January 1882, which is near
~ half a century off.
This takes and has taken one
huLdred thousand dollars each
month, or twelve hundred thousand
dollars per year, from circulation in
Virginia, to pay a debt not due yet
for nearly 80 years and thus the
withdrawal from circulation in Nir-
ginia of this large sum Of money

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.

HARRISBURG, PA, Sept. H.
The first day OF the Danphn cOun-
~ centennial celebration was ush-
cred in with the booming of hun
dred guns and the ringing of all
the bells in the county for half an
hOnr. The city is filed with
strangers from all parts Of the
State, and the suspicious opening
prcsages a week of unprecedented
excitement at the State capital.
At nine o'clock $500 school
children, each school carrying
a banner, marched to Harrls's
Park, wherein repose the re.
mains of the founder Of the city
beneath the trunk of a tree to
which the Indians once bound him
with intent to burn him, and NOV.
ing about the rail that surrounded
the grave they sang "America,"
led by a band Of music. lmme.
datcly afterwards the schools were
formed in procession and paraded,
hating at the Soldiers Monument,
on State street. Every child wore
or carried the national colors, and
many girls and boys wore entire
suits made OF flags.
In the line was a large wagon in
which were twenty-five children, in
quaint costumes Of years ago,
seated on benches in front of a
stern old schoolmaster with his
bunch of birch-rOds. At the mOnu.
mcnt the children sang more of
"Amcrica," and then counter
marched and dismissed, each
scholar receiving a souvenir Of a
card containing early scenes in the
towns history.
At the courthouse interesting
exercises were held under the
auspices Of the Dauphin County
Historical Society. Gov. Paterson
made an address, in which he re-
lcrred to the great progress the
county and city had made, and
was followed by Judge Simonton
in the same strain. Mayor Wilson
welcomed the strangers within our
gates, and dwelt eloquently on the
occasion. Judge Hester followed
in personal "reminiscences of the
early days Of the borough of Har.
riSburg.
This evening a large meeting
was held in the courthouse, presid
ed over by Gen. Simon Cameron,
at which a poem was read by DR..
Bombaugh, Of Baltimore, a former
IIarrisburger. Tomorrow the civic
and military parade will take place.
