Governor Beaver censu rcd.

Governor Beaver Censu rcd. .
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec 8.-The Times today prints leading editorial holding Governor Beaver responsible for the loss of the state funds by the failure of B. K. Jamison & Go. and Delamater 6, Co. The article says that in the face of repeated warnings the governor failed to enforce the plain letter of the law, which requires these funds to be invested in state and United States bonds. It also says:
 ''Nor is the failure to invest the surplus money in the treasury and sinking fund the only just ground for complaint against Governor Beaver. During his administra- tion most reckless and lawless act was perpetrated by the sinking fund commis- sioners. Instead of investing the surplus in treasury and state securities, as the law commands, million of government bonds in the sinking fund were sold when there was no public debt to which the money could be applied. Whatever public excuse may have been given for this lawless act, the only actual reason or apology that could be offered for it was the need for over a million more of public funds to divided among political favorites."

THE pElAMATER FAILURE.

About 03O,OOO Said to Have Been Bor-
 rowed Just Before the Crash Game.
 MEADvILLE, Pa., Dec. 8-No statement of the Delamater failure will be issued for several days, but it is certain that about one-half the inhabitants of this city arc depositors. AS far as can be learned the liabilities of the firm will aggregate $5O0,- OOO or more. It is thought tho deposits will not amount to one-half this sum, but MT. Delamater has a good deal of paper floating about, and in the last week he had succeeded in putting out about $50,0O0 if not more. Two days before the failure about $30, 900 was borrowed by the firm in Philadelphia, and it is stated that a round sum was obtained in Pittsburg on the same day.
 It certainly looks blue for all interested. The Delamaters have control of a small railroad, but 1t is not known whether it is encountered. They also own 8 ranch in Dakota. How much it is worth no ono knows, but it is probable the assets will amount to no moro than $90O, GOO at the outside. What surprises every one is as to what disposal Senator Delamater made of the money he borrowed in Philadelphia. The story that Dave Warden indorsed his note for S. 900 and that President Gazzam, of the Philadelphia Finance company, cashed draft for him for 5000 is true Simultaneously with the deposit of the draft MT. Delamater drew 8 check against it, receiving the Finance company's check on the Quaker City National bank.
 The Quaker City National bank is the agent of the Finance company before the Clearing house. MT. Delemater went to the bank which furnished the cash. That draft was never honored. The Finance company did not start it on it's way until Thursday. When it reached there Dele mater & Co. had gone under. This is not the only money that Mir. Delemater Is known to have obtained within the last few days. Still another bank has it's name connected with him, but not for an amount large enough to cause it any trouble There are also a number of transactions which he is known to have had with personal friends on his last visit east.

From ne NtH HdJsH Register.
Coroner nj. j. b. MESSENGER Of New

letters from physicians In this city ask
Ing a demonstration of these powers,
and few evenings ago he held pri-
Yate seanee, at which only physicians
and few personal friends assisted.
The success Of Or. MESSENGER was re-
markable, and the feats he accomplished
left no doubt In the minds Of the physi.
clans who attended that he possesses
the power of hypnOIizing.
DIR. Aessemer took as his first subject
young lady who knows nothing what
ever OF medical science, and in a few
moments he succeeded in placing her
under his influence. Then he called
out a gentleman from the party. Tie
placed one Of the young lady's hands
on the gentleman head aud the other
on his heart and then told her 10 give a
diagnosis of his physical condition.
This she proceeded 10 do in the most
minute detail When she had com.
pleted the diagnosis Coroner MESSENGER
invited a couple Of the physicians 10
diagnose the gentleman's condition.
They did so and were amazed 10 learn
that the young lady, while under hyp-
motto influence. had made a correct
diagnosis Of the case. In order % better
satisfy the physicians, a test was made
on another gentleman IN the party, and
In this case also the young lady gave
correct diagnosis.

THE RAUM MATTER.
THE COMMITTEE ON RULES CONSIDERS
AND THAT'S All

THE COMMITTEE ON RULES CONSIDERS,
AND THAT'S ALL.
Several moons have elapsed since
Representative Cooper of Indiana
offered in the House resolution call.
ing for an investigation of General
Raum, Commissioner Of Pensions. It
was referred to the Committee on
Rules, and there Il rested quietly
in its peaceful pigeon-hole until last
Friday. On that day II was drawn
iheTefrom, and the committee began its
formal consideration. They were com
PEELED to this course by reason Of the
adverse comments on their course in
pocketing II made upon the floor of the
House and elsewhere.
Mr.. Cooper appeared before the
committee and exhibited a copy Of the
letter Of Captain Lemon To Com.
missioner Raum, asking for a certain
order or ruling Raums letter stating
the order could not be made, aud
the order finally issued. This
was substantially what Lemon had
asked for. MIR. Cooper made a state.
ment The hour Of ig arrived and, at
the Speakers suggestion, the commit.
tee adjourned until Monday.
When Monday came the committee
failed to meet, though the Democratic
members were present, as was Mr..

day In the debate over the bill 10 In.

result Of this was n meeting Of the Com.
mitiee on Rules again this morning
Mr.. Cooper again went before t.
Mr.. Reed suggested there was
no connection between Lemons
letter aud the order as Issued. Mr..
Cooper held there was a direct cnnnec
ton He showed that when Lemon
wrote his letter II was referred 10
Deputy Commissioner Lincoln, by
whom the matter was invesu-
gated. He replied at length,
showing It could not be done
without working injustice TO other
claim agents than Lemon and TO other
clients than his. This letter was ap.
proved by Commissioner Raum, aud
there the matter rested for more than a
month. Then came the order Ia ques-
tion, which gives substantially what
Lemon asked 10 himself and other
claim agents.
The committee took a recess at noon
and then retired for further cOnsulta-
ton. After an hour OF so the word was
finally given out that the committee
had taken no action. No day was set
for another meeting Of the committee.
