The Shortage at the Mint.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-An air OF
mystery surrounds the alleged short
age of five thousand ounces of gold
from the Philadelphia mint. A report
is current that mint official has been
arrested on a charge of stealing the
gold, and that an effort was being
made to make him confess. 1t is as
serted that when the reweighing of the
metal has been completed the appar-
ent shortage may be found to be the
result of an error, but no credence is
placed in this.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The Herald
says: The theft of the bullion miss
ing from the Philadelphia mint was
committed in this city, it was rnmor-
ed yesterday, but who committed it the
officials here have not been able 10
learn. The bulk of the bullion III
which the shortage was discovered was
transferred from the vaults of the sub
treasury in this city in 1887.

ARush for Public Lands.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, Sept. 16.-At
y o'clock the bars that have so long
enclosed six million acres ofpublic land
were let down and over hundred
thousand men and women joined in the
rush for land. Men who had the fast
est horses rode like the wind from the
border only to find other men with sor-
ry-looking animals ahead of them.
Fast teams carrying anxious home seek
ers were driven at breakneck speed
only to find men on the land who had
gone in afoot. Every precaution had
been taken to keep out the ''sooner"
element and yet that same element,
profting by former experiences, had
captured the land and beaten those
who were on railroad trains. From
the elevation at Orlando, the line of
people could be seen for distance of
eight miles east and ten miles west.

If THE members of the ways and
means committee of the L. 5. House O
Representatives have any regard for
their reputation as proper men for the
important position they hold, they Will
at once stop the further waste Of time
in listening day after day to long arsu-
ments by the benefciaries Of high tariff
in favor of the continuance Of that tariff.
The people of the country by over
whelmiDg majorities in 1890 and 1872
declared for low tariff, and it is gro
tesque absurdity on the part OF the
committee to be fooling away precious
hours in hearing the very men who
supply the defeated party with its cam
paicn funds, squeak and squeal at the
proposed abolition of the means by
which they have waxed fat at the ex-
pense of all the other people OF the
country. The hearings should be
closed at once, and the preparation OF u
low tariff bill be commenced immedi-
ately.

Freaks ofLightning.

While the funeral services over the remains
of suicide were being held in Linglestown,
Pa, last night lightning struck the church
and stunned everybody in the building. For
a time all were so paralyzed that nothing
could be done, but finally as order was restor-
cd and people came TO their senses the excite
ment was quelled.
Lightning last night struck and killed John
Boscayage, a lad of Is years at Shenandoah,
Pa. The body of his father mad Just been
brought from the hospital, he having been
fatally hurt in the mines. The storm in the
coal regions was terrific and the hail did great
damage.
Reading, Pa, was visited by the most terri.
&c rain storm yesterday afternoon for year,.
The rain came down in torrents flooding
streets sewers and cellars in all parts of the
city. Several washouts occurred west OF
Werncrsville on the Lebanon Valley rail-
road. In Lebanon the tracks were under 4
foot of water.
The severest electrical storm OF the season
occurred at Williamsport, Pa. Lightning
struck two school houses, and at the Dodge
mills five men were knocked down bya bolt
of lightning.
