THIRD EDITION.
The Elitors, Isxcurslon.

The special train left Philadelphia at
$50 a, M, on Friday, for Bedford
Springs, Pa. with number OF Phila-
delphia editors uIid other journalists
on bourd.
Among those from Wilmington were
MIR. Xhitford and wife, of tho Every
Evening; Mr.. Bell and wife of the
Sunday Star; Mr.. lIoopes, OF tho Morn
ing News; Mr.. Edwards, OF tho Even
ing Journal; and q. W. Vernon, wife
and daughter OF the Daily REPuBLIcAS.
As the cars gllded out of the Broad
street depot the rain was falling quite
smartly, and it continued to fall until
about ten O'Clock, when 1t Stacked up,
but the sky still had rather threaten.
ing appearance, indicating repetition
OF showers.
The railroad, however, was In first
class condition, and the cars superb in
all respects, Sc the ride up through the
fertile valley was rather exhilaratlng
The we'll cultivated fields on either side
gave evidence OF thrift and plenty, and
the many handsome suburban cottages
indicated taste and comfort.
paoli, Frazier, ,Downingtown, Coates
willie, ParkesburH, Christiana, Lancas-
ter were passed in rapid succession
and at ll.3o the train drow up at Har-
ri.burg. whore luncheon was par aiken
OF With great eacerness, showing that
editors and their wives believe in the
good things of tho day, as well as all
other classes OF people.
The restaurant Is spacious room,
capable OF accommodating several
hundred guests at one time. The wait
ers were polite and attentive, and the
various dishes we're soon lightened of
their contents.
At 1880 the train left Harrisburg, and
al five o'clock arrived at Bedford
Springs, one OF the most magnificent
summer resorts in the country.
The road from Philadelphia to Har-
risburg passes through one of the fin
est agricultural sections in tho United
States. Tie fields are well cultivated,
and yield good crops of all kinds.
The wheat in many iiclds was knocked
down and badly tangled by the rain
and wind; the grass fields indicated n
tolerably fair yield of hay; the oats
were short, and the corn was very
small, only two or three inches in
height AS we approached Lancaster,
we noticed several fields Of young to.
bacco, taat county having become
noted for It's production OF that fa'
nous weAd.
After passing Harrisburg, tho scenery
along the Juniata is truly picturesque.
Tho mountains rising on either side,
almost to the clouds, and the water
spreads out in such Il sheet as to make
agrand picture.
The contrast with tho valleys of the
Pequa and CUncstugn Is So striking as
to greatly reliove the ride of what may
be styled samcnpss.
Several young men in ortlor to pass
the time like the Prince OF Wales pro
duced certain implements and pro.
ceeded to play "baccernte" or some
other equally interesting game. As
there was no money put up, there was
no cheating, AMI consequently rs
ladies did not participate, no scandal
will follow.
The party was received at the Springs
with band of music. and all went
merrily as marriage bells In haste.

The Same Old story.

The police telegraph system, intro
dnced in this city by the Gaynor
Company, is as usual again out Of
order.
The third and fourth circuits are
badly crippled and the telephones are
practically of no use. The "phones'
in booths No, 81 at Eighth and Broome
streets, box No. 81, Delaware avenue.
and DUPONT streets, box No. Is, South
Wilmington, and box No. 90, Fourth
and Union streets, will not work ut all,
and reports are recorded only by the
number OF the box sent In on the white
paper slip.
This is great annoyance to the
patrolmen, who have become aceus-
toned TO the system. In fact the sys-
tenn has been out OF order all the time
since put up. Scarcely day passes
without some mlshap to the apparatus
at the City Hall or the wires connect
Ing tho various circuits.
The ringing or buzzing noise in the
phones" Is SO great that during a
storm the noise can be heard all over
the police station.
This Is the first city where this sys-
tom has ever been used, and as 1t has
proved acomplete failure it would be
well for the city solicitor to proceed
against the sureties, that Is II there
arc any.

Base Ball,

The two mines of the Diamond State
Iron Company played their first game

The most interesting pnrt of the game
was the fine base running by the Day

The batting Of the Night Turn was ter.

sides was Of the very best. The score

A Communication from Mrs. Dough-

cent session Of the Supreme Court, ap.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE SUNDAY STAR
DEAR SRi Will you please correct some
statements In your paper of to-day:
First, 1t was not Detective Jones who
made any discoveries concerning my
conduct that entitled John b. Dough-
erty to divorce, although Jones was
employed by Dougherty for 80 months
to watch my house and movements
previous to divorce proceedings. His
testimony shows that he found out
nothing, and he dropped out OF the
case, when Barney ]. McVey was hired
to get buns to swear to things that
never happened.
lam innocent of the charges for
which am now and always Will be
suffering, to say nothing of the misery
OF six dear, innocent children. When
divorce proceedings were started there
was no evidence against me, only two
anonymous letters. But when the case
was pushed by my counsel Dougherty
and his agents soon found the lowest
black and white characters to soy the
words that would crush me and my
cullufen, Tor dollars and cents, This
was accomplished, which came out
| clearly before the commissioner. No
doubt the public are pleased over the
decision. am aware that there was
much talk for which could not ac-
count. 1 lived In compromised posi-
| tion and subject to the peoples criti-
cism. But in tho sight Of God and my
conscience | am misrepresented.
Being called an 'adulteressr whom
| there isnot one line of testimony on
record to prove it, Is hard to bear,
utter living here over eleven y0ars,
a slave TO my family. Second, 1 am
not homeless, friendlesss or pennlless.
have good Christian mother and
two sober, industrious brothers, who
will never see me want for anything,
as we'll as means OF my own to keep
me while live. And what Is more
have hone that the world cannot give
or take from me, and, as the Bible tells
us, my enemies shall be punished.
Vengeance 10 mine, will repay,
saith the Lord" Respectfully,

A Point We AInke

Is not to have our prices too low; II
would be fatal to good quality If they
were. Cheap goods, that Is to say,
shoes that are too cheap to give you
honest wear, are high at any price.
While we are not offering footwear at
ten cents on dollar, turn your shoe
money as you may. We don't believe
you can do better with 1t than by com.

why we are selling SO many oxfords
