NOT THIS YEAR.-In spite of the excel.

be held at this place. While the use of the
grounds here would have been given, free OF
cost, the State will pay 5000 for the prlvi.

there is an excellent one, but not superior,
everything considered, to that one offered
here. Should it happen to be rainy, the
encampment will be a sort of toy Venice,
but if the weather is dry and pleasant, the
drill grounds will be finer than anything we
could have offered them here. In shade, and
drinking water this point far excels the one
chosen in the matter of bathing place we
had moth ny to offer in the way of water Of

We regret that we have failed to secure the
encampment, but we are not without hope
that we may accomplish it another time.

George washington's Ghost.


HARRISBURG, August l2-The Union Uo-
tel. at Wrightsville, was built in 1876, and at
one time Washington used it as headquar-
tiers during the revolutionary war. Room
is still honored as his sleeping apartment,
and, according to its present proprietor, the
furniture and fittings are the same now as
when Washington occupied the room a cen
tury and half ago.
Few guests are put in this particular room.
because il is alleged that at a certain hour of
the night the wall facing the bed is illumin-
ed, and the reflection Of Washingtons face
can be plainly seen. The most singular flet
is that no matter which way the bed is
turned the reflection is always on the wall
facing the headboard.
J. NJ. Austin. of York. known throughout
Central Pennsylvania for character and We
racity, recently occupied the chamber, and
he declared he saw the reflection He says
he knew nothing about the room prior to
the night in question, and that the face was
a precise counterpart Of the pictures of
Washington.
Proprietor Hoke says that the leather
seated chair now in the room was used by
Washington, and that its mate is in Inde-
pendence Hall in Philadelphia.

Desperate Huns.


GREESsBURG, PENS., August 1I.-Another
outbreak is expected to occur at the Hecla
coke works in the morning. The Huns at
Mammoth held secret meeting last night
and decided to renew the fight on Monday
and prevent the men at Hecla, United and
the other works in tina; locality from going
10 work. Messengers were sent here this
evening to notify the Sheriff of the inten-
ton, and posse was AT once organizef, con-
sisting of forty men, with Winchester rifles,
and sent to the Hecla works. Assistant
Superintendent Rowe came here tonight
He says the Huns are in terrible state Of
excitement, and it may be that the outbreak
will occur sooner than expected.
Engineer Green, who was beaten by the
desperate mob yesterday, is in a precarious
condition, and will probably die. Another
Of the injured, who had rusty pick sunk
into his shoulder, will also lie.
Some of the workmen are afraid to go near
the works, and have not been seen since the
raid yesterday The Huns say they will not
allow work to proceed at Hecla until the ad-
vance is given them at Mammoth. There
are not more than half dozen Americans
in the mob.
The deputies who left here tonight car
red forty rounds of ammunition, and il is
expected, from the appearance of the men,
that blood will flow freely if an outbreak
should occur
