Sweeping Charges in Relation to the
Purchase of the Site.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Ex- Chairman
Bankhead Of the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds in his
charges against those who managed the
sale of the San Francisco Postoffice site,
says they include those who purchased
it. In general way he said:
81 shall lay full and specific charges
before Congress against the Commission
who purchased the property. 1t does
not make any. difference whether the
shaft falls on the heads of the Republicans
or Democrats. An outrageous fraud has
been perpetrated and should be exposed.
Both experts in San Francisco appraise
the propeH* at about one-half for what it
was sold. I believe that the sellers as
well as the purchasers are implicated in
the fraud. Moreover, I do not think
that the owner received half what the
Government paid for the property This
can be substantiated, and when the ex-
pose comes it will be a lesson to those
given commissions by the Government to
make its purchases"
Mr.. Bankhead refused to give the
names of those he thinks chiefly impli-
Gated. He said: "They will be made
known soon enough after Congress
undertakes to investigate matters.'

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Speaker Crisp

Tendency of the White Metal Upward
Purchases for the Government.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The tendency
of silver, according to London advices
received at the Treasury, is upward. It
is this morning qpeted at London at
S0.752 per ounce. The price paid by the
Treasury Monday was SO.726. This ad-
vance is accounted for here largely by the
heavy demand for silver in China to
move the tea crop.
The offers of silver to the Treasury
were 357, 900 ounces, and the amount pur-
chased III, 900 ounces at ISIS. The same
price was rendered for the remainder.
The price paid to-day is an advance of
II cents over the price paid August ID,
and ll-20 cents above the amount paid
for silver Monday. The purchases thus
thus far this month aggregate S51, 900
ounces.

Cann Meetings.

Camp meeting season is at hand, and
those who find pleasure and profit mostlythe
former, in tenting in the woods are making
ready to move out. There was time when
camp meetings were productive of great
good, but the conditions of society have so
changed that there seems to be little need
of the old time country camp now. But
the camp remains, and this year they seem
to be quite numerous. Many ministers
spend their vacation in attending camp
meetings, though its seems doubtful if they
find much recreation in preaching those
big sermons that are always among the
attractions Of camp meetings; but then, if
their vociferous efforts result in call to
big-salaried charge, and at the same time
turn sinners from the error of. their
way, the sacrifice is a worthy one.
The Camden camp will open ou Friday the
2sth inst. and hold over two Sundays.
Something over one hundred tents are
already taken aud new applicants for sites
are daily coming in. A number of tent
holders from Dover will move out and
occupy their tents on Wednesday next, SO
as to have a good time socially before the
camp opens.

THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
Exhibit at the Worlds Fair-A
Glimpse at its Interesting

Exhibit at the Worlds Fair-A
Glimpse at its In terestfng
Treasures.
OF more real interest to the average visi-
tor to the Worlds Fair than all the confus-
ing array of locomotives, cars, ships,
wagons, bicycles and velocipedes in the
great Transportation Building is the COM
pact yet comprehensive exhibit which the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company makes in
its own beautiful little model railway
station. What with signal tower, overhead
foot.bridge, automatic switches, tracks,
ballast and bitches just outside its doors,
and the original John Bull" locomotive,
the Oldest in America, with its train of an
tique cars, and the colossal iron vehicles
upon which the huge Krupp guns were con-
veyed from Baltimore to the Exposition
standing in the shadow of its walls, it pre-
sents to the passer-by an appearance so
distinctly characteristic that careful in
spection of the treasures of the interior is
almost inevitable.
Once inside, you enter Immediately into
a study of transportation history in the
United States on the kindergarten or object
lesson basis, and by means of models,
ranging from the old Conesioga wagon,
through series Of curiously fashioned
cars, up to the standard locomotives and
passenger coaches of to day, you secure a
most effective idea of railroad progress.
Nor do the models here shown have to do
with vehicles only. In the cases which
line the walls of the cool, white interior
are also to be seen models of track of all
periods, various systems of signals in use
at different times, and even tickets and
time tables, not forgetting conductors
punches and lanterns.
In the way of models, the post of honor
- gixen to magnificent reproduction of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's new
double-deck ferry boat Washington"
which plies between New York and Jersey
City. model complete in every detail, even
to the electric lighting and the rubber mats
at the doors. Maps, in relief, of most
interesting and instructive character are
numerous. not the least important being
one four feet wide by twelve feet long,
showing at once the old Portage. the new
Portage, and the present road of the COM
pany over the Alleghenies, all arranged to
scale, and giving better notion of that
wonderful feat of engineering. the Horse
shoe Curve, than can even be had by a trip
over it.
To furnish comprehensive idea Of the
magnitude of the Pennsylvania Railroad
system no better method could have been
| adopted than that which is here presented
in the shape of perspective map, thirty.
three feet long, showing the position O.
each train in motion on the system at p
i m. on Columbia Day, October 21st, 1892, tht
passenger trains being indicated by tiny
gilt Locomotives, and the freight trains BY
similar locomotives colored blue. In addi
ton to all this there is case after ease o
