Parnell Meds Mrs. O'Shea.

LONDON, June 25.-Charles Stewart
Parnell, the Irish leader, and Mrs. Kitty
O'Shea the divorced wife of Captain
O'Shea, were married this morning by
the Registrar of the Parish of Steyning
an obscure place in Sussex county, 10
miles from Brighton. As much mystery
as possible was thrown about the we'd
ding, but all the facts are known.
Mrs. O'Shea wore dark attire and a
pink trimmed hat, and looked very hap
DIV. Parnell was in a neat dark dress,
and cheerful in manner, but glanced
nervously around during the ceremony,
as if in fear of observation. The mar
riage took place at 10 in the morning
The only witnesses were two servants OF
the Registar and they were strictly en-
Joined to and promised secrecy. Parnell
remained at Walsingham Terrace, where
Mrs. O'Shea's house is situated, last
night. A one horse pheton was ordered
for this morning instead of the usual
order of horses or carriage for exercise.
After leaving Brighton, the couple, Mr..
Parnell and Mrs. O'shea, ordered the
coachmen to drive westward, in the di-
rection of Steyning, by a circuitous
route. They reached Steyning about
9 O'Clock, in heavy rain. Mrs.
O'Shea, knowing the situation, took the
ribbons and drove direct TO the Registrar s
office, where the ceremony took place.

A Deadly Storm.

MouNT CARMEL, Pa, June 21.-ThIs
section was visited Yesterday by a wind
and rain storm of unSual severity Trees
were unrooted and carried a great dis
tance, while the rain poured down IN
torrents and the lightning and thunder
were terrific. When the storm Was at
its height a heavy crash was heard above
the noise of the storm, causing the peo-
pie to flee from their homes IN terror.
For a time 1t was feared that a terrible
calamity had taken place in the bor-
ough. 1t was soon learned, however,
that the crash was caused by the collapse
of the Patterson Coal company's large
colliery, situated two miles west OF TINS
place The structure was new one ana
was rapidly nearing completion. -Four
skaters named j. NJ. Blossom, Richard
Roberts, J. B. Dodson and William
Lodge, from Shick-Shinny Pa, were on
the roof at the time of the accident and
were hurled TO the ground, IA distance OF
$50 feet, and crushed to jelly by the
timbers falling upon them. Two other
workmen from Luzerne, Pa, whose
names could not be learned, were also
working in the building and shared the
same fate as their companions. 1t was
two hours before the bodies of the men
could be recovered, owing to the debris
that WAS heaped upon them. The bod
les of the men were brought to this place
to await instructions from their families.
The colliery was to have been started
next month, but the buildings are totally
wrecked and it will take considerable
time to make necessary repairs. The
loss to the colliery is about S12O, 600.

ONE hundred and fifty of Philadel-
phia's most prominent Republican citi-
Gems and business men issued an address
on Monday, in which they demand
the retirement of Senator Quay from
the control of the Republican party in
this state. Among other things the ad-
dress says: THE Republican machine
in this state, under the leadership of
whom he has drawn about him, is cor
rupt, and in strong contrast to the rank
and file of the party. Mr.. Quay is mainly
responsible for the overwhelming dis
in this state during the past autumn,
whereby an accustomed Republican ma
jority of 10000 to 80, 900 was changed
to a Democratic majority of 1000.
The single issue of the campaign, as de-
termined by Mr.. Quay himself was the
vindication of his own personal and
political character. 1t might have been
supposed that the leader who had inflict
ed such wound upon his party, and to
whom he had given so overwhelming an
evidence of its lack of confidence in him
would have retired from public promi-
nence. Mr.. Quay, however, contented
himself with an elaborate defense of his
record before the United States senate.
This was both untimely and inconclu-
sive. Had Mr.. Quay accepted the sug-
gestion that he should call upon Mr..
MacVeagh and the other gentlemen who
were said to have been present when his
alleged defalcation in connection with
| the treasury was covered by Mr.. Cameron
to testify in his favor, he would have
| adopted the obvious means for securing
vandication; but this he did not do

The Men Behind Bardsley.

John Bardsley's defiant course is ex-
plainable in one way. He is the crea-
ture of a political system-the same
system that has thrived on jobbery and
still holds the city in its grasp. In that
combination are thieves and political
pickpockets. Back of that system, de-
pendent upon it for support in Councils
and at the polls and various other chan
nels of usefulness, are business men,
men of influence and importance. Let
it be remembered that every fact that
has come out has been forced out only
by long research and continuous ham
mering. Let it be recalled that in the
beginning of the investigation all sorts
of obstacles were thrown in the way.
Put this and that together and then
wonder, if you can, why John Bardsley
Honest John Bardsley-has declined
to confess, but instead has put in plea
of justification.-Phiid. inquirer, Rep.

Peters Pence.

The average amount received annually
by the pope in Peters pence is between
been some falling off in the amount
received from France, due, as it is
thought at the vatican. to the education
al laws, which weigh heavily on the
French people, but this has been coun-
terbalanced by the increase of contribu-
tions from many other countries. The
United States now contributes more than
France to his fund, sending annually
$500, 600. Belgium comes next after
France, then Holland, Spain, Germany,
and last of all italy.

New ORLEANS, Juno 26.-The Masons

The Biggest Farm.

New YORK, June ga company has
just been organized, with capital of ST.
600, 900, for cultivating farm of 49,
600 acres in Florida This will be the
the largest farm in the world, and upon
it enough could be raised TO supply the
city of New YoIk with food. The name
of the company is the San Sebastian
Land improvement, Sugar and Invest
ment Company. The farm lies between
the Indian, San Sebastian and st. Johns
rivers, and is drained into the st.
Johns.
The farm has muck, soil, similar to
that in the Valley of the Nile. The
company does not purpose to raise cereals
or garden stuff, but sugar cane and CO.
coanuts, especially cocoanuts. This viii
be in the nature of an experiment, as
cocoanuts are not indigenous to Florida.
The company is composed of New York
and Southern capitalists. The land was
bought from a syndicate of young men
of New Orleans, headed by Mr.. W. W.
Wallis, who has some stock in the enter
prise, and will be president Of it.

ElOped i'm a Balloon.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June ga singular
story was developed yesterday by the ap-
plication at the city hall of Mrs. J. +.
Goodrich, of Pittsfeld, Mass, for help
to recover her sixteen-year-old daughter
Clara, who eloped Ia balloon from
Pittsfield, on Decoration Day, with an
aeronaut named Walter Cooper. There
was evidently vein of sensationalism
in the young people, because when they
determined to elope the commonplace
methods which have been IN vogue for
centuries would not do. /.
Decoration day, dress ed in a
suit of her brothers clothes, Clara elu6ed
her parents and stealthily made her way
to Pittsfield. Her father pursued and
reached the fair grounds just in time to
see his daughter being borne into the
air in balloon with the young aeronaut.
Mrs. Goodrich has been pursuing the
couple ever since, and swears to kill her
daughters betrayer on sight.

II the Judicial Apporhonment bill
SAYS the Philadelphia Herald had been
signed by the Governor the rollof Judges
after the next election would have been
nineIy-eight. The constitution contem-
plates Judge for every 10000 lnhao-
itants, SO that the bin was considerably
below the limit, and the chances are that
in the future such measure will be
adopted and signed. Taking the eight
cen Judges allowed for Philadelphia and
Allegheny counties off, it would leave
eight whose salaries are $500 each,
making total of $360,00O. The
Judges for the two big counties receive
in salaries about $3.50, 900, making n
grand total of nearly half a million dol
lars year for Judicial salaries.
A well regulated Judicial system would
reduce the number of Judges at least
half, and not only save that proportion
of the salary bill to the people, but a
vast sum in the expenses OF maintaining
needless courts There are some Judges
in the state now who sit less than two
months in a year The tendency IS all
in the direction OF tightening the labor
of the Judges. This tendency is morally
certain to increase the Judicial districts
and add to the number of Judges, unless
constitutional prohibition is put upon
it. 1t ought TO be arranged so that the
list of Judges could be limited to fifty.
At present it is possible to run 1t to near
Iy three times that number.
In the face of these facts what's the
use of raising the cost of a constitutional
convention as an argument against 1t.
Saw it would cost half million dollars
to carry it through. Why that amount
could be saved in the singlei item OF Judi
cial salaries in less than three years.
But aside from that it is an unfair argu-
ment. 1t is an appeal to the cupidity of
the public instead of the patriotism. If
we need new constitution, no matter
what it costs. If we don't it would be
too dear gratis. Let us consider the
question from higher standpoint than
that of dollars and cents.

GOVERNOR PATTIsoS on Wednesday of
last week filed his objection to the Ju-
dicial apportionment bill. This is the
last of the three apportionment bills pas
sed by the last legislature, the Legislative
congressional bills having been vetoed
the day before. In general terms the
Governors chief objection is that the
bill creates too many Judges, increasing
the number to 9S. Time and experience
he says, have added force to the opinion
expressed by Governor Hoyt, in vetoing
n similar bill in 1881, that a rapid in
crease in the number of Judges has de-
tracted from the dignity of the judicial
Office, without adding to the efficiency
of the courts or raising them in public
esteem. He further says that if there is
any provision of the Constitution about
which thoughtful men doubt the expe-
diency it is that which creates a separate
judicial district in every county contain
ing over 40, 900 population.

centric character was buried in Yardley,
Bucks county, yesterday, named Aaron
Ivens Cook. For so years past he had
been constable of Lower Wakefield, and
for some years past he has had his coffin
and shroud in the garret awaiting his
death. Years ago he cut down the tree
from which the coffin was made, and
hauled it himself to the mill to be made
into boards of the proper length. The
shirt used for his shroud was woven by
himself, and the stockings were those he
wore when married Besides choosing
the undertaken and pall-bearers, he even
named the man who was to act as host
Ter. He was well-known in the several
near counties.

The General Appropriation bill for
1891 and 1892, as passed by the state
legislature and signed by the Governor,
appropriates a total of about $14 ,O0O,- =
coo. OF this SUM the chief item is SlO,-
600, 900 for the support of public schools,
that is $1,000, 900 each year, for 1891
and 1892. The amount appropriated
for the same purpose By the legislature
of 1856 was $4,000, 900, or 81, ZOO, 900
per year, so that the sum thus voted is
more than doubled. The chief objects
the Legislature had in view in making
this increase was to relieve to some ex-
tent local taxation by supplying larger
part of the school funds needed from
the revenues of the state, and also to
secure greater efficiency in the school
system by advancing the compensation
of teachers who are fitted for that i'm
portant work.

JUDGE WHITE, of Pittsburg, has just
rendered. decision which carries the
Sunday laws of the state further than
they have ever yet been extended. 1t is
to the effect that an oil well musn t
gush on Sunday, or, if it does, that its
gushing mustnot be turned to profitable
account by the wells proprietor. The
defendants tried hard to persuade him
that if the gushing of the well were in
terrupted for a day, calamitous conse-
quences in the form of a cessation of the
gushing hereafter might be expected to
ensue; but it was no good. The mind
OF the court was made up, and the pip
ing Of oil on Sunday has. been declared
an Illegal secular employment This
will materially effect the business and
the profits Of the oil men.

THE grain crop OF the United States
this year promises to be the most re-
markabie on record. 1t is impossible as
yet to arrive at definite figures, but from
all representations made in the region
OF the wheat and corn belts, nature
will be more lavish than ever before.
Coupled with this condition of unique
abundance is the almost unique poverty
of the grain crop in European countries,
the result of which will be huge exporta-
tions from America.
