He Says the Sensational Reports About
His Health Lies, and that He Is
Not IA Sick Man.
BAR HARBoR, July 13.-Mr. Blaine
drove to town before 10 o'clock this
morning, driving the horses himself. He
went about the shops making purchases
like any other summer resident. He
was in excallent spirits, and joked pleas
antly about the reports now current re-
gardng his illness.
BAR HARBoR Maine, July 13.-The
Associated Press correspondent CONVEX
sed with Secretary Blaine for few
minues this morning:
| am as we'll as usual to day. The
sensational reports about my health sent
to the press all over the country are lies.
l am not sick man. They have magni-
fed slight illness into something very
serious. l am taking no medicinelwh hat
ever. l go OUT every day, and often
twice day. | have good appetite,
Ctb bOoilO, lloC at q " WYNN
and retire at 10 or lin short, live in
my usual manner. There is nothing
more to say.
Mr.. Blaine spoke in his accustomed
quick, unhesitating manner, his voice
showing no trace of weakness. He took
long ride this morning in an open car
riage through the principal streets aud
some distance into the country. He gets
in and out of the carriage without assis-
lance, sits erect, recognizes acquaintance
as in former years, and does not seem
fatigued by riding. The reports that
Mr. Blaine is mentally unsound are ut
terly false and absurd. Emmons Blaine
said this morning. My father is con-
stantly improving. We do no longer
consider him sick man.
BAR HARBoR, Maine, July 13,-Mr.
BlIne Was out driving at 6 o'clock this
afternoon in an open carriage. He was
holding the reins as he has been doing
occasionally for several days. His ply
sician, DR.. J. Madison Taylor, SAID to-
night Mr.. Blaine is improving very
rapidly. Within few days he has SEEM
ed to take fresh hold upon life and
health. He has strong constitution,
and no one who sees him eau fail to
notice a rapid improvement almost daily.
Those near the Secretary feel confident
that he will return to Washington in the
fall a well man and able to enter into
active political life.

SATURDAY

In the afternoon one of the most en-
phatic exhibitions of the beauties of high
license yet seen in the town. A white
woman in carriage driving down Main
street, so drunk she could with difficulty
keep in her carriage, by her side her
husband, in some degree sobered by Ter
condition.
At the same time another woman
badly under the influence tried to get
into her carriage on Main street. Fail
ing in her first attempt she fell back
wards landing on the ground. Rallying
again, she managed to climb in. Taking
from her pocket flask, she placed it in
the back of the carriage. Just then, a
third woman appeared on the scene,
taking the flask, she looked around to
see whether she was observed, when
throwing her head back she took good
long pull at the gin, and scrambllng
into the team drove off. We doubt very
much whether ever before i'll the history
of the town, three white women under
the influence of whiskey, have been seen
on its streets at the same time.

The Democratic party OF Massachu-
sets started out to carry the election
by blutiing the Republicans MS soon as
Governor Russell was renominated.
Not dreaming that HenryCabot Lodge,
the Republican can lidate, would ae-
eept, they challenged him to meet
Governor Russell in u joint discussion.
They were considerably taken down
when Mr.. Lodge accepted the chal-
lenge and numed the time and topics
for discussion, which he had right to
do. and they are now begging Mr..
Lodge to change the topics but he
very properly refuses TO do so, and as
n consequence the Democrats are in
trouble.
Another cause OF discomfort to the
Democrats arises from the offer to
supply the Republicans with 100000
pamphlet copies of Governor Russelits
speech, in which he pictured the decay
| ing industries of New England, an of.
Ter which was gladly accepted by the
Republicans with the request that tile
Democrats will increase the number
to 10000 copies. AS consequence
the Democrats have couple of very
dlsagreeable bluffs on hand that they
didn't realize on.

The funeral OF Barrett Freeland
Munson, who died suddenly last Sat-
urday, took place from his late resi-
dence on East Ninth street, near Pop
lar, yesterday afternoon, and was at
tended by a large number of his rela-
tives and friends, aud members of the
ORDERS to which he was connected.
The remains were laid In handsome
casket, and the religious services were
conducted at the house by the Rev.
Mr.. Hickman, OF the First Presby
Church. The pail bearers were select
ed from the societies to which he be-
longed, and the interment was made
In Riverview Cemetery.
The family ara greatly grieved
about the reports that lhaye appeared
in some Of the papers relative to the
deceased.
They emphatically deny that he was
discharged from the Edgemoore Iron
Works, and claim that he resigned his
position to accept an agency for GER
tain organizations which promised to
pay moro money. He had been In the
employ OF the Edgemoor Company as
a boss blacksmith for number OF
years, and enjoyed the confidence a nd
| esteem of his employees in his charge.

The family also deny that he had any

he took the powder and alleged that
he has been taking them for some time
for heart disease and nervous prostra
ton. They were composed OF strycnint
and digitalis and were intended, te
control the action of his heart. They
claim with great deal of probability
that as he had borne an unsullied repu

The family of VIM. Hammond oil
Staytonville, near Milford, has been
nearly decimGted; five children have
died with diphtherla within the past
two weeks, and Mrs. Hammond is re-
ported To be suffering from the
scourge. The neighUors avoid tile
house as though it was death-trap,
and it is almost impossible to procure
any assistance In tho performance OF
necessary work. A colored woman
of Milford engaged to do some wash
ing, when her friends were notified
that she could not return to the town
as she might thereby introduce the
dreaded disease.

All of yesterday afternoons session
of court was occupied In hearing ar
eument in the case of the Philadelphia
Cornlce Works Va the Eden Hall Conf
pany. William O. Spruance and 8. A.
Maccallister Esqs. appeared for the hall
company and Lewis G. Vandegrift ESQ.
for the Cornice Works. The case as
stated Is as follows: John H. Countiss
the contractor for the building, con-
tracted with W. f. Robinson to do the
cornice work, and he purchased the
material amounting to about $500.
from the cornice company for which
he failed to pay.
The Cornice Works then had O me-
chanies' lien Issued against the build
ing. The attorneys for the Eden Hall
Co., moved to set this lien aside, as
they claimed the company had moth
ing whatever to do with Robinson, who
was only a sub-contractor. Mr.. Van
degrift filed demurrer to this plea, and
held that the lien should stand.
The argument was continued until
$40 o'clock, when court adjourned un
til 10 o'clock this morning.

A Double Hea,ic,l Tax-Mill.

The proceeding before the inyesti-
eating committee Of the Levy Court
snow that the collectors were paid
twice for the taxes of large number
OF Taxpayers, and stiil the latter were
returned as deliHquents. Nearly all
Republican poll tax payers who paid
their taxes personally along after the
middle Of January tothe first of March
had their taxes paid by the Republican
COMMITTEES. All such who paid their
taxes personally to the collectors dur
ing that time are requested TO come
before the committee with the receipts
that the committee may charge tbs
collectors with the amount twice paid,
AID Nuke them disgorEe the same.

nice little money-making mill, thai
Brought them rich grist whichever
way 1t run. The first grist they GO
was from the committee and the sec
ond grist was from the persons who
came In and paid personally after thu
Republican committee had paid fo
them. The investigating committee
now want to run this doubled.headet

THURSDAY OCTOBER 1. 1891.


Inc ieAuinB question: OF INC uay Is
what will be done now with the two
Wilmington ex-Tax Collectors? Every
body seems to have read tho proceed
ings OF the investigating committee of
the Levy Court, everybody seems to be
intensely interested, and everybody
takes it for granted that full prima
faeia case has been made out against
the collectors and hence the question
to which we have referred.
The position in which the two col
lectors have been placed before the
public is humillating, abject, criminal.
They stand before the community con-
victed of collecting from the people
si6i6 in taxes which they put in their
pockets instead OF paying it over to
the county treasurer. No proceedings
before higher court can make the
| conviction mora complete, no pro-
caedings that would clear the men
would change public opinion as to
their guilt.
The accused themselves contributed
TO their conviction before the bar of
public op Mon by their own persistent
refusal to testify to what they knew,
II they told the truth it would have
only eliminated them further, but not
worse than their silence: IL they told a
lie it would have had no other effect.
So far had these men outraged the
tnU no rfftf ttr,tt klat
their status was fixed, and no evidence
they would have given personally,
one way or the other would have had
feathers weight in the scale of JUS
tice. But what is to be done witt
them2 Everybody knows what ought
to be done with them. they ought tt
be Immediately made to pay over the
county's money that is jingling il
their pockets, but whether they will bt
mnde to do so is quite another thing,

may be made, but the attempt wa.

But for that injunction, the money

Yesterday afternoon the John Bull
Street Rolling Engine, Weighing fif-
teen tons. was employed in rolling
French street between Fourth and
Third. The great weight settled the
earth so much as to break the service
pipe of the Washington Engine house.
The water was shut off half an hour
or so for repuirs. There are large de-
mands made on the water supply by
the great establishments in this set
ton OF the city. When they start up
in the morning the pressure is very
low. 1t is question whether the old
water main would supply enough
water TO put out a large fire in that

PHrLADnprHlA.Thurs Oct. !. 1891,

There are things to be
told about our Upholstery
store that are worth know.
ing thing that you should
know.
The world is full of hum
bug. And there is always a
market for humbug-Uphol-
stery humbug and other
sorts. Many people enjoy
it-enjoy the bit Of aattery,
pride or vanity that it brings.
Hence humbug flourishes.
You know how we do the
Book business9 To you, to
us, Books are merchandise
to be bought cheap as we
can get them and sold at a
single fair profit. The hum
bug of a publishers retail
price-often exorbitant--has
been knocked out of the re.
tail Book trade-a thing of
the past,
We sell Upholstery the
same way. The form of the
high price evil differed from
that in the Book trade, but
the evil was the same-too
much high and mighty
prices. That's knocked out
too.
| 1t sometimes happens
that Upholstery men come
into our employ from other
cities. The first surprise
here is the low prices. One
such has recently been some,
what overcome at the con
trasts between our low prices
and the higher one he ha:
been accustomed to.
| Among these piece goods
are some wonderful Uphols
terry stutfs at very low prices
Soc to $1.25. They are
copies-not Of the more
costly goods just told Of, but
from other high-priced fab
RIGS. They are full of ar
and excellence, and for many
uses quite the thing.
