the tariff hearing today many statements
we're laid before the Ways and Means

duty on different chemicals. III. B. Ros-
engarten, of Philadelphia, advocated the
restoration of the duty on quinine. w.
D. Ferris, of New York, urged that the
duty be kept on castor oil. F. Rawolle,
manufacturer of glycerine and alcoholic
varnishes, argued in favor of aboliehing
the tax on all alcohol. J. Carroll Beck
with, President of the National Free Art
League, advocated the total abolition Of
the duty on works of art. Tomorrow
gentlemen interested in the manufacture
of glass and earthenware will be heard.

IT IA said that at the oro,

IT is said that at the opening per-
formanceof Joan D'Arc at Paris yesterday
the funeral pyre became ignited. This
was very natural for funeral pyre. But
the strange part of the announcement is
that Sarah Bernhardt, who was imper-
sonating "Joan," tainted. This was an
ordeal endured by q large number of
people in st. Louis, where the lovely
Bernhardt WAS wont to select the most
conspicuous windows of the Southern
Hotel for making her toilet after the
bath. II is distinctly of record that

SOMETIME ago the HERALD began an
agitation for a Receiving Hospital. 1t
thought it was shameful thing that
people injured unto death should have
no place to which they could be taken
and treated with becoming privacy. We
are glad to be able to chronicle the fact
that we are now to be supplied with this
convenience of humanity. The Council
has ordered the Receiving Hospital to be
constructed, and it will be feet accom-
plished in a short time.

1864. Governor Houser writes me from

The City Fathers have ordered all the
bridges repaired at the city's expense,
except the 'Buena Vista-street bridge,
which they think ought to be repaired at
the expense of the Santa Fe Railway
Company, it's demolition having resulted
from the hurling of the debris from the
Santa Fe's bridge on the city's structure.
Whether the railway company will
plead the act Of God remains to be seen.

The Council has declared forfeited the
franchise granted to the Messrs. Marble

Its efficacy was dependent on work
which was not done, and which should
have been done by the 9TH of the cur.

the lands that ought to have accompa-

Kemmler,s FOrlorm Hope.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, December 3d.
Joseph Kemmler, the murderer sem
fenced to death by electricity, appealed
to the General Term, claiming that his
sentence was unconstitutional, as it pre-
scribsd an unusual and cruel manner Of
death. The court held that the evidence
went to show that it was not cruel
method of inficting the death penalty;
that it was therefore constitutional, and
remanded the prisoner to undergo the
punishment. Kemmler's only chance of
escape now is through the clemency of
the Governor, which is not likely to be
exercised,

Fire and Suicide.

VICTORIA, B. c., December 30.-The
Keller & Burris pottery, just erected,
was destroyed by fire Sunday. A
potter named Haberkorn, sleeping
in the engine-room, states that the
fire originated from the explosion
of a lamp. He tried to extinguish
the flames, but was unsuccessful, and
fearing he would be burned to death, or
that he would be accused of firing the
building, he cut his throat. Small hopes
are entertained of his recovery. The
loss by the fire is estimated at $l5, 900;
insurance. So 900.

PARIS, December 30.-During a per.
formance of Joan d'Arc by Sarah Bern
hardt, last night, the pyre used in the
play became ignited from the surround
ing fire. Madame Bernhsrdt, who was
on the pyre, received no injury from the

seriously burned while extinguishing the
fire.

quite a number of bald-headed men of

generally deserted, even the charms Of
Tony Faust's unrivaled lunches and beer
in the annex of the Southern being
powerless to stay the emigration to less
sensational portions of the city.

Their Titles Approved.
SAN Francisco, December 30.-This
morning Judge Sawyer rendered a de-
cision in the case Of NJ. Tesll and others
against Mary Slavin and others, which
involved the title to much OF the land
on which the city of San Jose was built.
the decision is in favor of defendants,
and it was virtually reached by ruling in
demurrer. The dismissal of the case
will be the subject of much congratula-
tion among San Jose land owners whose
titles were thus ieopardized. Had the
demurrer been overruled, and the case
set for trial, much valuable property in
San Jose would have been naturally tied
up and values impaired.

ANOTHER STORM.

to Railroad and Other Property


A Section Of wesrrnoreIand County Is vis-
lied by a Cloud Burst-Great Damage
to Railroad and Other Property
Crops Swept Away.
rsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsP ArcH.1
GREENsBURG, July 10.-One of the
most destructive storms that ever occurred
in this section passed over the northern end
of the county this evening about o'clock.
Rain fell in torrents, and the creeks tor
miles around the mining village of Grab
Tree overfowed, and crops of wheat, hay
and oats were carried down the streams.
The waters of Grab Tree and Thorn creeks
were the most damaging. Trees we're up
rooted in their course and buildings situated
on their banks have been swept away.
Every bridge on both creeks from Grab
Tree to Salisbury has been carried away,
and 200 or 800 yards of the Grab Tree
Branch Railroad has been completely
washed out. No lives have as yet been re-
ported lost. A hailstorm followed, and was
most disastrous to the corn crop, which is
thought to be entirely destroyed. The storm
embraced an area of about 80 miles, and in
many places the wheat, which had been cut
by the farmers in the morning, was carried
down the stream in shocks. At Salem and
at the Five Points, and all along the Loyal
hanna creek, the damage is great.
The loss will run up into thousands of
dollars. 1t is believed the flood was caused
by cloud burst, inasmuch as it was con-
fined to that narrow limit, the rain here be-
ing very light. The Grab Tree Railroad is
a branch of Pennsylvania Road, and it is
thought the full extent Of the damage to it
has not yet been told, as it runs for a
distance on the fiat below where the washout
was observed. The water is now falling
rapidly.
