Senator John Sherman. when ad-
dressing the Ohio Legislature the other
day. was kind enough TO speak well OF
the New York election laws - safe
guards against fraudulent voting. He
held up the New York system as an ex-
ample for Ohio to initiate. The purity

The time has arrived when both political

This plea for honest voting. for the
purity Of the ballot. for additional
safeguards against fraud in elections,
sounds strange enough from the lips Of
the statesman who was the chief pro-
moter in Louisiana Of the fraud BY
which the vote Of that State was stolen
ten years ago. and who received as his
pay the Office Of Secretary Of the
Treasury. But Sherman did not blush.
Then the unblushing statesman went

NEW York, Feb. 9.-Ncws Of a str ange
and mysterious occurrence at MIllersburg,
Dauphin County, has been received here.
On Thursday morning there was jovial
crowd in hotel there, and while they
were imbibing, Samuel Matter entered
Matter was well known throughout the
county ss patent medicine peddlcr, and
was 6fty-1ve years old. His wife died
in the alms-house. and since then he has
been living near this place. Shortly
after Matter entered, . discussion on
religious subjects arose. The sacrament
Of The Lords Supper, was talked about.
Matter became very earnest In his
talk, and, finally. dared the men
% indulge. in an imitation Of the Lords
supper. They agreed 70 have It with beer
end bread. and accordingly. glass was
1lled with that beverage. They then
knelt in mock humility, and, with the beer
d one hand and bread in the other, Mat
tef went along, giving bit and . sup TO
each Suddenly, when he was about
through, . strange noise was heard, and
looking up the men saw sight that

marrow IN their bones" AZ near a.

who was away for long time, and at last
he arrived, maniac. He was put 20 bed

nothing for him. He raved. howled and
prayed, declaring that he had seen the
evil one and that he was lost. His tor

Dry Goods House.

One of the promising and rapidly ad
vancing houses of the city is that of F. W
Wurzburg, located at the corner of Canal ST
and Crescent-ave. Here is carried a very
extensive stock of cOttOns, silks, woOlens
laces, ribbons, gloves, hosiery, cloaks
shawls, etc, in fact every thing that goes tC
make up a first class stock of dry goods
Here is a irst-class double store on the cor
ner of two streets which is necessarily well
lighted and ventilated which gives purchas-
ers good chance 10 inspect goods before
buying This, of course every one
wants TO do, but any and
all who buy goods of Mr.. Wurzburg can rest
assured his goods are of the best quality and
value received given. In fact, il will pay
any one to visit this store when looking for
dry goods, as bargains are offered here every
day that would be astonishingly low in
some other places. Mr.. Wurzburg claims
that his expense in tie way of rent, etc, are
less here than they would be in other parts
of the city, and that he furnishes goods to
his customers just that much cheaper. Here
certainly is very complete stock of dry
goods at very low prices.

OUR NEW NAVY,

After long debate and much disagree.
ment Congress has so far condescended
to heed the popular demand as to pro-
vide for the construction of four serv-
iceable war vessels. They will consist
of two 600-ton double -bottomed, ar
mored cruisers, with a speed Of sixteen
knots; one protected double bOttOmed
cruiser of not less than B, 500 nor more
than 5000 tons, and one first class tor
pedo boat. The first two vessels are
also to have complete torpedo outfit.
For the four vessels the sum of $4, ,G00,-
600 has been appropriated, and they
are to be constructed throughout in a
first t-class manner, Their arms, ma.
chinery and armament are to be as
effective and nearly perfect as possible,
At its last session Congress appro.
priated money for four naval ships-a
$3.50. ton twin.screw cruiser, 1000
ton steel cruiser, 1,700.ton gun
boat and an S70-ton boat. The plans
for these vessels have been completed
and they promise to be swift and po v.
