A Bitter Disappointment.

LONDON, September 2s.-The speech
of the Hon. William E. Gladstone at AL
bert Hall, Edinburgh, yesterday after
noon, is now said to be bitter disap-
pointment to the Liberals, who were
hoping that their leader would outline
the plan of campaign to be undertaken
against the House OF Lords.
The StCr which paper has been
waging a violent campaign against the
Lords by publishing from day to day q
series OF chapters from the history Of
the peerage, headed TITLED Corrup-
tion," says to-day that Mr.. Gladstone
treated the Lords with scrupulous ten
derness.
The 50. James Gazette says the plain
reason why Mr.. Gladstone does not
raise the cry Of down with the Lords
is because he dare not, as he knows
that the country is with them.

PRIVATE WAR CLAIMS.
Both Houses of Congress Have Lots oil
Them for Consideration.

Both Houses of Congress Have LOIS Oh
Them for Confederation.
WASHINGTON, D. c., September Is
Private war claims are the order OF the
day here in both houses, says morn
Ing paper. A day does not pass that
dozens of these bills are not introduced
and ref erred to the committee to which
they belong. Those war claims possess
an important interest for Western
MARYLAND, Northern Virginia, West Vir-
GINA and Southern Pennsylvania. In
addition to many private claims, Mr.. Nc
Kaig has introduced bills providing for
the payment OF $1,000 to the city Of
Frederick; $50, 900 to Hagerstown, and
81, 500 to Middetown. All OF these
claims grew out of the raids Of Gen.
Jubal Early, who levied the above sums
upon the several towns after their In
yason.
Tuesday, however, Mr.. Beltzhoover,
of Pennsylvania, succeeded in having
reported favorably by the war claims
committee, of which he is chairman, his
bill for the payment Of SO, 447, 945. "a to
residents of Southern Pennsylvania for
damages sustained by the invasion Of
Confederates and the presence OF Union
forces during the late war Those
Pennsylvania war claims grew out OF
three expeditions into that State-in
1862 by Gen. Stewart, in 1858 by Gen.
Lee, and in 1864 by Gen. Early. On the
Goth day of July, 1864, the Confederate
brigades of Johnson and McCausland,
consisting OF from $500 to 5000 men,
with six guns, crossed the Potomac and
advanced upon Chambersburg, the coun-
ty seat OF Franklin county.
The town was invaded by the entire
command of Johnson and McCausland
and a demand made upon the people for
500, 900 IN gold, or $500, 900 in govern.
ment funds as a ransom, number OF
citizens being arrested and held as host
ages for its payment No offer Of money
was made by the people and the town
was burned by the Confederate forces.
The burning of Chambersburg occurred
July 30, 1864, and resulted in loss
which was estimated by commissions
oppointed by two acts OF Assembly OF
PENNSYLVANIA, Of 1868 and 1871. The
most expensive raid to Pennsylvanians
was the raid of 1864 by General Early.
Stewards RAID in 1862 amounted TO

STOCKs-The potent influence upon share
speculation Of the silver question was
demonstrated very iorcibly on the Stock
Exchange to-day when, upon adViceS from
Washington construed by the street as
favorable TO the passage Of the Sherman
act repeal bill, purchasing movement
was inaugurated which sent up the general
list with some few important transactions.
The market in London for American
securities also showed an improve
ment, due to the publication OF
President Cleveland's letter to Governor
Northeu. which made It clear that the adj
miniStration would not agree upon any
COMPROMISE measure and from which the
conclusion was drawn that the repeal bill
would become a law as it stands The
strength of the market abroad naturally
helped the home market and assistance was
also lent by buying orders from London IN
some prominent stocks. The conditions were
therefors quite favorable to a strong mar
ket and at the opening there was buoy
ant feeling which led to the recording or
higher figures for nearly all the active
stocks. The bears fought hard TO bring
about an occasional slight reaction, which
merely served to mark the course OF the
advancing quotations without really check
ing the movement, and the market closed

She Fought a Burglar.

A bold attempt at robbery was frus-
trated by the bravery of Mrs. A. Il.
Chapman, wife of the agent of the
United States and Pacific Express COM
panies in Pueblo, Colo. Shortly after
dark, but before her husband had re-
turned from his Office, Mrs. Chapman
had occasion to go into the kitchen, when
she was startled to see man standing
in the middle of the floor, and upon ask
ing what he wanted ne replied, "Those
earrings" pointing to pair of very valu-
able solitaire diamonds which the lady
wore. She fed to another room and
armed herself with revolver, but the
fellow not following her she again ven
tured into the kitchen.
He pounced upon her from the pantry,
where he had hidden, and hand to hand
struggle ensued, in which she repeatedly
struck him over the head with the re-
volver, it unfortunately not being load
ed. A we'll directed blow from his list
laid her upon the floor senseless, but
when she recovered she was alone and
her valuables undisturbed, the marauder
having evidently been frightened away

In their sun gilt dew by the mountain road,
When the bee swung on from his blackberry
bloom,
When the partridge rose with a hollow boom,
And the rabbit peeped with his eyes ashine,
And the squirrel jeered from the bough o. pint
And the thrush broke short in his half thrille
song
AS the grand red stagecoach iolted along
The old route over the mountain.
It was long ago when the loud wheels passed
Now thrushes may tinkle their chimes to til,
last;
Now nothing troubles the wood hush lone.
The Squirrel nibbles the seeds of his cone,
The nighGhawk ruffies his breast in the sand,
The white birch leans with his silver wand,
And elins tighten the brambles load,
And the clover blooms in the quilted road.
The old route over tbs mountain.
And long ago at the end of it's route
The stage pulled up and the folks stepped out
They have all passed under the tavern door,
The youth and his bride and the gray three
score.
Their eyes were weary with dust and CLEAN;
The day had gone like an empty dream.
Soft may they slumber and trouble no more
For their eager journey, its jolt and roar,
On the old route over the mountain!
But an an, air breathes down from the midnight
With freely lamps and a rushing sigh,
And passing whispers will murnur low
Secrets and gladness they used to know.
And often in winter the wind roars through
With thump and whistle and fierce halloo
And cracks the treetops and whirls the snow
Like phantom horses Of long ago
On the old route over the mountain.
