Mikado in the Danvllle Insane
Asylum.

Mondays Patriot contains an inter
eSting account of the performance OF
the comic and popular opera "Mikado y
which Was given in the recreation hall
of the Danville asylum by the Star
Opera Company last week. 1t is said
that the SIX hundred insane inmates
watched the play with intense interest
and that they were effected in many
different ways by the pleasing scenes
and music which the opera produces.
AS whole the attending PHYSICIANS

A stranger Wins the International
SHaeffieEd HNaudfcnp.

PITTsBURe, PA, July 12.-Probably
one of the greatest surprises that has oc-
CURED in Pittsburg sporting circles for
many years took place at Exposition Park
this afternoon.
A stranger giving the name Of j. Ber-
ger, of Mount Oliver, Ohio, won john
sons international Sheffield sprint handi-
cap in way that caused the ''talent" to
be dumped and the champion sprinters TO
wonder what was wrong. Since Satur-
days running Berger has been looked
upon with suspicion, and when he won
the final heat protest was made against
him for false representation, but as no
person knew him George Forbes, referee,
awarded him first money.
About 500 people witnessed the races
and great deal of money changed hands
ON the result. The leading eastern cities
were represented by we'll known and
wealthy sporting men. Boarley, the
cOlored representative of Philadelphia,
was warm public iavorite for the handi-
cap, but it was quite apparent That he
did not try TO win his second heat. The
time of each, given below, is official:
-Four preliminary heats and the final
race were run of to-day. In the first
heat, Harry NJ. johnson of Pittsburg, won
in 1877 seconds; j. Berger of Mount
Olivor, Ohio, took the second heat in ~ !
seconds w. Fl. Hough of Cleveland, the
third heat in 12i aud G. II. Smith of
| Pittsburg, the fourth heat in 10.
When the final heat was called Berger,
johnson, Smith and Hough came TO the
scratch. Berger went to the front at once
and kept it to the finish, winning handily
| by two and half yards. Smith was second,
with Hough third and johnson in the
rear. Time, 12l. The races were 13C
Yards.

Resigning His n, of ls Leadership

Governor of Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia Times special.
WmKEspARRE, July 13.-In this section
of the state, where General Master Work
man Powderly lives and is so we'll known,
many people have thought that he could
easily secure the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the Twelfth district. Ex-
pressions in favor of doing this are now fire.
quently heard. Those who favor his nomi-
nation say that he would be the strongest
candidate that could possibly be put up.
Then there are other friends who insist
that he shall be candidate for governor,
and they claim, as a strong point in his
favor that he is not identified with either
the Randall or Wallace faction Of the
party and would consequently cause no
i'll feeling. This talk is even stronger
than that about his nomination for Con-
grefs, and there are many who say that
the Powderly boom has come to stay.
A large section of the Democracy in
the Twelfth district favor Judge Wood
ward for Congress, and Powderly seems
to be the only man feared by the judges
adherents. With the master workman
out of the field the judge would have q
clear track ahead. Therefore the judges
friends are helping 10 boom Powderly for
governor.
John Z. Barrett, Powderly's close
friend, prints an editorial in his paper,
Scranton Truth, tonight which indorses
Powderly's candidacy and says his nomi'
nation is not unlikely. This is looked
upon as official. Mr.. Powderly's health
is failing, owing to overwork, and it is be
lieved he would gladly resign the muster
workmanship if he thought the Demo
Gratis would give him support for COVER
nor. AT any rate his friends here Say he
is candidate and will make the fight fol-
him.

NEWARK.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal.
NEWARK, July THE electric light
boom is gaining in popular favor. 1t
has not been agitated at all lately IN
Difference TO the several heavy stock sub
scribers who wish TO note first the success
of the Middletown plant. Upon that
will entirely depend the reign of coal oil
or electricity in our town for several
years. There will be no difficulty in
either stock or subscriptions after sue
cessful test by our neighbors.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
may be depended upon to make a strong
fight for the patronage of Newark, as
opposed TO the new Baltimore d Philadel-
phia railroad. Its latest move has culmi-
mated in an arrangement to run trains
direct from here to Philadelphia and
return starting on Monday morning
next at $40. This will be the
Newark and Philadelphia accommoda-
ton and will start directly from the
Newark l. Pomeroy station in the eastern
end of town. H. Fl. Carter was here yes
terday and made final arrangements
whereby we will have three more addi-
tionaI trains each way to Philadelphia aud
| Wilmington which viii start directly from
| the eastern end of town. Tickets will be
ON sale at Wrightia office for the present.
A new and handsome station will be built
In the meanwhile trains will run regu-
Iarly, as now, from the main station, q
mile below town, with the exception OF
the Newark Il Philadelphia aocommoda'
ton trains. 1t is also said that most Of
the accommodation trains now starting
from Wilmington to Philadelphia will be
transferred to this town. These new
trains will be run over the new switch
connection, obviating the necessity of Q
trip to the old station mile below.

MmDLETowN, July S.-George Jones,
colored, had one of his feet badly mashed
while working in the gravel pit last Tues
day.
Some of the lower Peninsula editors
and growers make more fuss over one
miserable premature and basket or box
and half of perfect fruit than we do
over respectable shipment. Willitts d
Jolls made two shipments on Monday last
one from William Harriott off the Manor,
and another for II. L. Truax of the
Harry Davis farm near this town, over
a dozen baskets altogether. The former
was of the Amsden's June variety while
the later was early Alexander. The fruit
was thoroughly ripe and beautifully
colored. Mr.. Truax was also the first
shipper in 1885.
Miller, Stevens 81 Co. have been awarded
the contract for erecting the electric light

mence at once. Mr.. Heger is here with {

A Member Expelled for EmbezziinR
NEAxnaV.

NhohcHe
Local assembly 2067. knights of Labor,
gave notice yesterday that itBhas expelled
Milton J. Eastwood for enlbezzling funds
of that assembly and warns the public
not TO give him money intended for that
assembly. The circumstances which led
TO this announcement, as stated by men,
bers of the assembly, are these
Some time ago Eastwood was given
book TO canvass for aid for the members
of the assembly, which ia composed OF
the striking morocco tinishers. He can
vassed in this city and in Philadelphia
and, il is said, had about 800 sub
scribed by various parties. OF this he
turned in only $15 to the assembly, the
members of which learned that he had
collected more and demanded TINT he turn
in his book. He failed TO do 80, and the
exact amount of the subscriptions be OBJ
tanned is therefore not known.
In addition to this IL is stated that he
has been receiving his weekly pay regu-
larly, hut went TO work last Monday at
Beadenkopf IL Bros drawing pay last
Saturday, when he was already under en-
gagement 10 60 to work.
When the strike commenced he was
employed at Charles Baird a. Co. "a, and
the strikers cay was one Of the strongest
advocates for destroying property at the
time the men went out He is a morocco
finisher by trade and before going to
work boarded at Browns hotel on West
Fourth street. AT the present time he is
boarding on Fourth street near Beaden-
dopf h Bros factory.
As result OF his embezzlement and his
move in ''scabbing" by going TO work, at
the meeting of the morocco finishers
assembly last evening he was expelled
from the order.
There has also been talk of prosecuting
him for larceny, but the assembly not
being an incorporated body it is doubtful
If that step viii be taken.
The amount collected by him is put al
| 300 so far as reports go so far, but 1t is
thought it may reach 5000.

CARE MAY, N. j., July l3.-John Will
liam Bidwell, of 1913 South street, Phila-
delphia, died in the surf to-day at about
IL o'clock. He was out only about waist
deep, and being subject to heart troubles
this doubtless caused his death in the
water, as he was quickly brought to
shore. He had been here ten days with
a ten-year.old daughter. stopping at the
Crescent Villa, and intended to return
home this afternoon. His daughter was
bathing with him. They had been but n
short time in the water when Mr.. Bidwell
was seized with an attack of rheumatism
of the heart, and tainted. His little
daughter made every effort to keep his
head above the water until her strength
became exhausted, when the father was
drowned in four feet of water, no other
bathers being near enough to hear the
daughters cries for assistance. The body
was recovered few minutes afterwards,
but every effort made to restore life
proved unavailing. Mr.. Bidwelps death
may have been caused by paralysis of the
heart, as he was not under water long
enough to drown.

ST. LOUIS, July IA stranger was
found last night wandering aimlessly
around on Morgan Street near Seventh
and was taken in charge by the officers of
the Sd district station. He was an elderly
gentleman II years old with smooth face,
long white hair, well dressed and gave his
name as Louis Diehl. He did not know
where he was, where he came from or where
he was going. When taken to the station
$5S0.70 in money and check on the First
National Bank of Logansport, Ind, for
$5, 900 was found on his person. His
clothing and appearance showed him to
be gentleman, but his hesitating speech
and irrelevant answer to questions soon
displayed the fact that he was insane. In
conversation with reporter he insisted
that he was still in Logansport and said
he did not know why they had penned
him up.

ST. LOUIS, July. 1.-THE Republican
this morning in reference to the inyesti-
cation of the charges of bribery and cor
ruption against members of the house of
delegates says
lone of the developments before the
grand jury in the investigation of the
house of delegates was the evidence of A.
c. Peckham, proprietor of Casino Theatre.
His statement was to the effect
that he had been approached
by several members of the house
of delegates TO secure the rejection Of n
resolution against his theatre, an officer
of the criminal court being witness of
the payment though unknown to the del
egates. They had approachen Mr.. Peck
ham, so the story went, and politely in
formed him that they,could close up his
theatre with as much ease rs they
could an old alley, and that they
would certainly do SO if things
were not fixed. Things were apparently
fixed the next day when Mr.. Peckham is
supposed TO have met by appointment.
