NCJOBBING CONTRACTORS
"It's Square Bidding Nown-The
Navy Plunderers Sent to
the Rear.

WASHINGTON. Nov. -. The absence
of all the ola naYal jobbing contractors
ana their army of retainers was most
conspicuous yesterday, when the con-
ed. One of the most prominent Repub-
lican ship-bulldcrs of the country whose
integrity made him unsuccessful under
the Robson aud Chandler management
OF the Navy. said TO your correspond
ent this morning, Its square bidding
now; things have greatly altered about
the Navy Department.
In former times when large naval
contracts were TO be awarded, faVorite
contractors were privately posted by
inside clerks and inside and outside
jobbers were thick as the lice Of Egypt ,
all of whom had 10 De subsidized 10y
contractors. In many instances, the
lal gest contracts were given out with
out competition, and the contractor,
while seeming to get large prices, was
robbed at every turn while he was rob
bing the government.
The one noticeable feature Of Wash
ington under the Cleveland adminstra-
tion is the entire absence of the proies-
sional jobbers and Lobbyists about the
departments. 1t is honest government
al around and honest business has n
fair chance at everything the govern
ment wants done.

AN interesting comparison of the
prices paid by advertisers for adver-
tisements in small and large papers in
this country was made in recent is
sue of the Ne,o York World. 1t
says that many a merchant in the
country when he pays $40 for an ad-
vertisement in his local paper thinks
he is just donating that much to the
publisher, while actually he derives
rich benefits from that very advertise
ment. Compare for instance the
prices charged by papers like the Ne'0
York Herald, from $4,000 to $780,
900 a year per column, or the Neac
York Tribune from $50 to $40, 900.
Now reckon the weekly circulation Of
these papers at 100000 and take the
country paper with about 1000 and
the price tor column in the latter
should accordingly be the 6O0th part
of $4,000 or $4,000 making the
cost of it from $66 to $S3 per year
And still the Herald and the Tribune
are constantly crowded with adver
tisements while the country paper
must beg of his patrons to let him
have an ad. at half price. There is
lots of room for improvement in this
branch of business.

A POLICE SCANDAL is the latest ex-
citement which the public at Wash
ington have for their daily topic.
Chief of Police, Maj. Walker, is said
to have given orders to his subordin-
ates to keep a sharp eye on the con-
duct of congressman and watch over
their morals. The object of this re-
diculous order was to asperse the pri-
vate character of some of the men,
bers and thus compel them to support
the passage of certain laws which
Chief Walker wants made for the dis
trict of Columbia. The consequence
of this rash and unreasonable proceed
ure on the part of the police was the
discharge of several of the officers.

AFTER the adjournment OF court last
week the Centre county Bar Associa-
ton had meeting for the purpose of
adopting the following preamble and
resolution
WHEREAS w. C. Heinle, Esq. having served
as District Attorney of this county Tor two sue,
cessive terms (six years) and having nntshed
his last term will retire from his Office on the
first Monday of January, 1887, therefore
Resolved, that the bar of Centre county, re-
calling the uniform kindness and courtesy
shown by Mr. III sinle in the prosecution OF the
criminal business of the courts, cheerfully bear
witness to the ability, integrity, efficiency ana
firmness with which District Attorney Heinle
always discharged the complicated duties ol
his office.
The above is very clear and de-
m onstrative expression of their senti-
ments by the members of the bar and
we are sure that every man in the
county and especially Mr.. Heinle's
party friends will readily endorse this
testimony. Mr. Heinle's happy dis
position of treating those with whom
he comes in contact kindly and court
eously is we'll known, while the faith
full work he did in the past for his
party, we hope, will never be forgot
ten. While his successor in Office has
already won the public favor as we'll
as the esteem of the legal fraternity,
Mr.. Heinle's retirement will be the
source of universal regret.

Terrible Death.

Joseph G.. Lyaah, former merchant
of Harrisburg, but since 1888 travelling
agent for the Hazard Powder Company
New York, was killed by an explosion
of 90 kegs Of powder. At the time OF
his death, Monday Nov. 29th, he was
at Galveston, Texas, selling several
hundred kegs of powder for his firm.
Discovering about 20 kegs OF powder
which were damaged he proceeded to
destroy them. He and an employe in
one of the magazines there carried the
Lynah kicked in the heads of a couple
of kegs and piled the other IS on top of
the open ones. AS he pulled out his
match box Drew protested against
lighting sou pounds of powder at arms
length, and warned Lynah that he
would certainly be killed. Lynah had
handled powder SO many years that he
was careless, and replied 10y telling
Drew that he would teach him some
thing new. Drew thereupOn started
and ran as fast as he could. He had
only proceeded so yards when he heard
most terrific explosion. Turning a
round he saw Lyman spinning around
like a top 60 feet in the air, his clothes
being ablaze. The unfortunate man
fell fully IS feet from the spot where ne
went up. Every vistage Of clothing
and hair was burned fIom the body
and the corpse was as black as that OF
negro. Drew was uninjured. Jn the
magazine close by was stored enough
dynamite to blow Galveston to atoms
b ut fortunately it did not explode, al
though the cOncussion was very great
and heard all over the island.

Terrible Accident In g. Mine at
WilkeSbarre.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. ga
terrible explosion of gas occurred in
the Conyn CHAM shaft this morning
shortly after the miners and lahurers
had entered. About fifty miners and
la borers were sitting at the foot or the
shaft waiting for the inside boss when
tie explosion occurred. The explosion
was the most serious that has occurred
in the antracite coal fields tins year.
1t is now definitely known that thirty
two are severely burned and others
slightly injured. Twelve Of the men
will die. The scene at the colliery
while the injured men were being taken
from the Shaft was terrible. \ crowd
of several hundred persons had gather
ed at the mouth of the Shaft, among
them, the wives, the mothers, and
daughters of the injured men. They
were taken out of the pit and they were
brought to the engine house, and the
women made desperate efforts to gam
an entrance. Their entreaties and
frantic demonstrations of grief we're
heartrending, but they were sternly
kept outside while the blackened,
scorched and bleeding victims of the
disaster were wrapped in blankets soak
ed in oil. The floor of the engine house
was covered with writhing human
forms so disiigured by fire as to be un.
recognizable. AS fast as possible they
were taken to the hospital or to their
homes and so rapidly was the work
done that by 9 9o'clOck every one kad
been taken out and carried away.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correSpondent)

kfEOIH our regular COIIcSpoiuOu@j
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20, 1856.
This is one of the busiest weeks of
the year in Washington. Congress Will
be here in one week, and everybody
must be ready for it from the President
to the clearinghouse keeper. The
Presidents message is receiving its last
course of condensation and revision.
Cabinet officers are performing similar
work on their annual report, and their
assistants of the First, Second, Third
and Fourth degrees, with several hun
dred Bureau Chiefs, Controllers, Audit
Ors and Officers too numerous to men
ton, are arranging their figures and
plodding over long tables of statistics.
The streets of the city are again alive
with a busy, bustling throng, and up at
the long deserted Capitol, Chairman
Randall, with a quorum of his commit
tee, has for week been pressing work
on Appropriation bills. He reports fine
progress, and says Congress will not
have to wait on him for money bills.
During the week he has had in consul
tatiop, the heads of different Bureaus
and Government establishments, with
regard to the needs Of their respective
departments for the next year. Among
these were Prof. Baird of the National
Museum, Smithsonian and Fish Com
missioner Superintendent Thorne of
the Coast Survey DR.. Godding of the
Government Insane Asylum; Col. Will
son of public buildings and grounds
and theirs.
The improved condition of the Gov
ernment service under Democratic Ad-
ministration has been mentioned re-
peatedly, but new instances of reform
are continually making themselves felt,
which deserve special notice. The
President probably meyer made happl-
er stroke of public policy than when he
called Mr.. Benedict here to be Public
Printer. In the period of three months
the notoriously demoraiizedGovern
Printing Office has been put in such or
der that about one-third more work is
now being done with the same amount
of money, and the press room which
three months ago had 400 forms wait
ing for the press is now clear, having
"caught up"
1t is too bad the President cannot be
left In peace and quiet with his modest
little country home. AS soon as the
real estate dealers of Washington knew
of his intention to buy this place they
secured as much ground in the vicinity
as possible and eyer since they haye
been using the Presidents name in the
most liberal manner in connection with
all sorts Cf schemes they haye organic
ed for improvements at the public ex
pense. Of course the President has
been in no way concerned in those
manouvers, but rumors to that effect
cannot but be annoying to him.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the past few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years Doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing TO

able. Science has proven Catarrh to be con-
