Progress of Sanitary Reform in Con- struction of Private Dwellings. BEPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR ROBINSON— FURTHER LEGISLATION BY CONGRESS RECOM- MENDED IN SANITARY CONDITIONS OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS—WASTE OF POTOMAC WATER, ETC. Samuel A. Robinson, chief inspector of plumbing of the District. begins his seven- teenth annual report, submitted to Health Offi- cer Townshend, by reminding bim of the early struggles of himself and some few friends of sauitary reform to secure legislative recogni- tion from Congress of the value of sanitation, which were rewarded by the passage of the first legislative enactments in this country giving public authority for the control of sanitary appliances in private structures—the first legislative rec- Ognition that the public weal may not be in- vVaded by private avarice or ignorance in mat- ters of such common necessity and universal application as applianees of domestic sanita- m. He says: “We begun when domestic ‘Waste or sewage was permitted to pollute the premises by untlushed and unventilated waste Pipes, and by pollution of the soil by badly constructed clay-pipe drains, with no anxiety on the partof the household so long as there Was no offense to the sense of sight and the offeuse to the sense of smell could be over- come by carbolic acid or some more noxious odor, which was of advantage only when it compelled the opening of windows admitting fresh air; when every man claimed that his house was his castle and that it was no busi- ness of his neighbors what disposition he made of it; when plumbers generally believed there Wes no poisoning from SEWER Gas; im fact, that there wae no such thing as sewer gas. or. if perchance there was, it must be healthy, as who is thore robust than a plumber, and the suggestion that a doctor or an engineer might know more than the plumber was the oeeasion for open warfare against every at- tempt to introduce improved methods in their business With few exceptions plumbers felt themselves insulted and their rights invaded With every attempt of the reformers. Yet through all these obstacles the progress of events has made steady gains until the commu- nity recognizes the value of the immediate re- oval of every vestage of sewage and the thor- ough flushing and ventilation of waste pipes and the isolation of houses from the public sewers by the trapou the main drain, and Mmauy other things in regard to which general ignorance prevailed a few years ago. “With my first report in 1882 and with each succeeding report I Lave directed attention to the fact that there is no suthority. in the ab- Sence of consent of occupant, for the inspec- tion of old houses, nor the application of our prevent rules and regulations thereto, and have asked for congressional action upon this point. T hope this may be presented by the honorable Commissioners in such forcible language as will draw favorable notice from the coming Congress. Ibave several times called atten- tion to the UNSANITARY CONDITION OF THE PUBLIC BUILD- 1xGs and again present the matter, as the health of #0 mauy of our citizens is imperiled by the cir- cumstances of their employment in the gov- ernment service. The rapid increase of build- imgs has made a demand for water supply upon ® servis ready greatly depleted by waste from a variety of sources. The present per capita supply would be ample except for the extravaguut use in public buildings, the gross Waste in hotels, restaurants and other build- ings where the supply should be registered by meter, and the waste in dwellings through de- fective plumbing fixtures, which may be pre- Yented by rigid house-to-house inspection. Yet, over a large urea there is no flow of water above the first Loor—s constant menace to the public health, The whole number of plans of new houses approved daring the past fiscal year amozants to 1,737, and of these 143 were for houses hav- ing plumbing fixtures in the yard only. At Jeast three inspections are necessary in the case of each new house. Upon the request of interested parties 533 old houses have been in- Spected, requiriug much time and labor.” THE PRESENT PLUMBING LAWS DEFECTIVE. Mr. Robinson says he has called the attention of the District Commissioners to the import- ance of additional legislation from Congress and to the bill now before the House comumittee on the District of Columbia au- thorizing new plumbing regulations, and adds: “The present lnw is defective in many respects and should be so amended as to authorize the eXawination and registration of plumbers and the practice of the business of plumbing in the District of Columbia, and to empower the Com- missioners to prescribe reasonable penalties for any violation of the law. Some standard of intelligence and integrity should be required. Within the last two years there has been con- siderable BUILDING IN SUBURBAN DISTRICTS having no public water or sewer service, and, as we have no regulations applicable to such eases, I recommend the appointment of a board, consisting of a sanitary expert in government employ, an operative plumber and the in- spector of pluzabing—ell of whom must do the service without compengation—to formulate Fules applicable to suburban houses. There is @u old tradition that # man to secure the health of himseif and family will build a house in the country, adjacent to which he will dig two holes, into oue of which all the sewage is discharged and from the other he draws the Water he drinks. I commit this subject to the prospective board for their consideration.” The report commends the two assistant in- Spectors for their efficiency and recommends iu incroase of their salaries, the first assistant to $1,400 and the second assistant to $1,200 per annum. He asks to have his desk removed from the office of the inspector of buildings and that he shall have a separate office suitably fitted for its requirements, A PROPOSED MUSEUM OF HYGIENE, “In connection with such an assignment of ofice room I recommend that suitable cases be provided for the exhibition of curious pieces of workmanship, which from time to time come into wy possession and which illustrate the progress o: ihe art. Inthe same place could be-exhibited specimens of the bad work- Mauship of recent date end which should be Shalete ith the name of the plumber who did the work. In such « room manufacturers would jladly—at their own expense—erect approved hy pliances an. rf th Lange or an interest- museum of bygiene of great future interest would be begun. = NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS OF PLUMBERS. “Within receut years there has been an in- telligent awakening among the plumbers, both ‘Masters and journeymen, all over the country, and national associations exist which meet snpuaily for the reading of papers prepared by their own members and for the cousider- Stion of matters of interest and instruction in their art. The character of the essays and the course of their discussions indicate an intelli- Gent mastery of the important subjects in- Yolved. Washington plumbers are auong the foremost in this movement and as at least one Of the natioual associations will hold its next annual meeting in this city I hope they Tay be Comes with the fact that Congress has Liberal enactments for the protection of public against disease-breeding conditions in oid houses, as well as more appropriate Fequlations for new ones: for the reformation of its own department buildings; for the pre- _—— of the waste of wuier and such other as are Decessary to improve the sanitar: = of this rapidly growing and beautiful ——_->__ General Methodist Conference.

Benham, principal of the Genesee Wesleyan seminary. A reception was tendered to Bishop Fitzgerald after the services. a Gov. Lee is looking up the surveys of the boundary between Virginia and Maryland to settle the dispute over the oyster beds. in New York a bench warrant has been issued for the arrest of Sarah Cherry alias Sarah T. Raymond. inst whom indictments were found in the case, but her whereabouts unknown. Participation of Washington Societies. Cardinal Gibbons has issued » pastoral letter on the celebration of the Catholic centennial. “On the 6th of November, 1789,” he says, “his holiness, Pius VI, issued # bull ‘creating the hierarchy of the Catholic church in the United States, and appointing the Rev. John Carroll the first bishop of Baltimore, whose episcopal jurisdiction extended over all the territory then comprised in the Federal Union. He was consecrated in the chapel of Lulworth‘castle, in England, by the Venerable Bishop Walmes- ley, vicar apostolic of the London district, on the 15th of August, 1790, and soon afterward he set out for Baltimore, where he (arrived on the ith of December. After occupying this see for a quarter of a century he died, full of years Sia thacien, Dessnitar 8, 1816, in the eighty- first year of his age. TRIBUTE TO ARCHBISHOP CARROT. “The history of Archbishop Carroll’s admin- istration clearly shows that his appointment was not only a wisejandijudicious but an espe- cially providential one. Gifted by nature with talents of a high order,he improved and de- veloped those talents by a long course of studies in one of the best colleges in Europe, and, even among the brilliant scholars of St. Omer's, he won .a high reputation for learn- ing. * * * Speaking of the advancement ot the church he says that “the Catholic religion ists and expands under ail forms of gov- ernment and adapts itself to all times and places and circumstances; and this she does without any compromise of principle or any derogation from the supreme authority of the church or any shock the individual con- science.” ‘THE CHURCH AS IT WAS. He proceeds to discuss the growth of the church under Archbishop Carroll and its rapid development from then to this time. ‘When Bishop Carroll was consecrated, in 1790,” he says, “the entire population of the United States was a little less than four millions, free- men and slaves included. The Catholic popu- lation was estimated at about 40,000, A small but heroic band of thirty priests, almost ex- clusively belonging to the Society of Jesus, ministered to this scattered flock. “There was not a single hospital or asylum throughout the land, Churches there were none. unless we designate by that title the few modest houses of worship erected in Catholic settlements, chiefly in Maryland and Pennsylvania. George- town college. just then founded, was the only Catholic seat of learning in the country. THE CHULCH AT PRESENT. “Such is a true picture of the past, Let us now glance at the present. Thanks to the blessings of an overruling Providence and to the beneficent character of our civil and politi- cal institutions the population of the United States has grown within a century from four to sixty-five million people, as happy and con- = agany that move on the face of the earth, “And thanks to the fructifying influence of the Holy Spirit and to the liberty we enjoy the progress of the church has more than kept pace with the material development of the country. There is now embraced within the territory of the United States a Catholic popu- lation of about nine million. ‘There are 13 archbishops and 71 bishops, 8,000 priests, 10,500 churches and chapels, 27 seminaries e: clusively devoted to the training of candidates for the sacred ministry; there are 650 colleges and academies for the higher education of youth of both sexes end 3,100 parish schools, ‘There are 520 hospitals and orphan asylums, where every formof human misery and in- firmity is alleviated and where children of both sexes are rescued from spiritual and tem- poral wretchedness and are reared to become useful and honorable members of society.” He speaks of the church as the friend of law and order and a contributor to the stability and perpetuation of the government. Speaking of the approaching centennial, he says that “the civic and moral virtues of past Senerations will not redound to our glory. but rather will be a reproach to us, if we have no share in their patriotism and piety. In vain we praise their heroic deeds if we do not strive to emulate them, for God will not be content with a vicarious fealty. We have indeed the divine assurance that His church sball never fail; but He ordinarily works His wonders through secondary agents, and we should all regard ourselves as included among the provi- dential instruments He has chosen for the ful- fillment of His decrees. We have entered into an inheritance not simply to enjoy it, but to cultivate it and enlarge its bounds.” TEE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, Of the new university be says: ‘We hail it as an auspicious omen that the new century will be inaugurated by the opening of the Catholic university. just as the closing century was ush- ered in by the founding of Georgetown college. And as Pius VI gave au impetus to religion in 1789 by the creation of the Catholic hicrarchy among us, so does Leo XIII inspire us with re- newed hope in 1889 by giving his august sanc- tion to the establishment of our national seat of learning. Thus Pius has planted, Leo has watered, may God give the increase. INTEREST IN THE APPROACHING CELEBLATION. “We take great pleasure iz announcing to you that a benevolent interest in the approach- ing celebration is manifested by the hierarchy and laity of the United States, and even those in other lands. Seventy-three archbishops and bishops have already signified their intention of honoring us by their presence. Nearly every state and territory of the Union will be represented on the occasion. A large number of Canadian prelates have aiso promised to at- tend, among whomI am happy to name his eminence the cardinal archbishop of Quebec. Eyeuour sister republic of Mexico will be represcuted by two or more prelates. “In a letter lately received the sovereign pontiff expresses his gracious intention of sending a church dignitary from Rome to represent the holy sec at the Baltimore and Washington festivities, The archbishop com- missioned by the holy father is not only an eminent divine but is honored with the per- sonal friendship of his holiness himself.” Washington Societies to Participate. Delegates from the various Catholic societies of this city held a meeting last evening at Car- roll Institute hall and made arrangements to accept the invitation to participate in the torch-light procession to be held in Baltimore November 12, 1889, at the Catholic centennial, H. W. Schon was elected chairman and Wm. A. Johnson, secretary. David A. Boone and Robert A. Jamison of Baltimore, who were present, spoke of the arrangements for the parade, and said that it was proposed to have twelve divisions, and it was expected that there would be between 12.000 and 15,000 men in line. The chairman jointed the following commitices: Music—Messrs. Lepley, Manogue and Moran; transportation—Messrs, Land- voigt, Hanuan and Fullerton; finance—Messrs, Hannaa, Voigt, Miller, W. Johnson, Me- Henry, Brahler, Rafferty, Weiss, Fletcher, Ful- lalove, Doonan, Duffy, Reith, Harbin, Sheehy, Coates, Connor, Manogue, Buscher and Hoff- man. Messrs. Lepley, Butler, McGarraghy, Reith, Duffy, Fullerton, RB. H. Johnson, Connail, Manogue, Leers, Taylor, Voigt and Rafferty were appointed a committee to wait upon the pastors of the churches and ask that they urge the male members of their congregations to take part in the procession. Ed. J. Hannan was elected marshal of the Washington divi- sion. The meeting then adjourned to meet on Friday night of next week. — Equity Counr—Judge Coz. Yesterday—Bowman agt.

John Burns, His Karly Life and Per-| The House of Bishops and House of| Boils, pimples, blotches on the skin, eruptions, &e., Characteristics. sonal Paris Correspondent N.Y. Tribune. John Burns and the strike of the London dock laborers being now the burning topic of the hour, some personal impressions of the former may be of some interest, Three or four years ago I accidentally saw Burns, of whom lit- tle was then known, and asked him to come to seeme. He came with his wife, a delicate little woman, to whom he seemed attached, and who had ears to hear only what he said. I found him interesting, sincere and unsophisti- cated, and saw that he was going to be a force for good or evil in the world. At first sight he startles, but the impression which his darkness of complexion causes wears off. He is o west of Scotland Celt. In former times he would have been known as Burns Dbu. His beard, which extends high on the cheeks and advances on the cheek bones, and his eyebrows, which are beetling and broad and nearly meet, are of that deep black that one findsin coal. Hiscomplexion matches. The eyes are light hazel, shot with green, as bright as a feline’s in the dark, but more canine than feline in expression. I saw a likeness in Robert Burns, the poet, and ascertained that John Burns is descended from one of Robert's un- cles—an arene man. Burns laughs heartily and openly and shows a set of gleaming, evenly set teeth, which add to the eating strangeness of his physiognomy. He talke pleayantly out of the fullness of burning thoughts and of meditations forced on him by ahard experience, but though in a state of rmanens white-heat anger against what he leemed the injustice of the present social state, he was not bitter or malevolent. I should say that he was destructive, as were the ores when they called for the ruin of erusalem by declaring that for its sins ruin would overtake it. Burns called a second time and I invited him to come and spend an afternoon in the country. There, in answer to questions I dropped, he told me THE STORY OF WIS LIFE. His mother, who is still alive and whom he reverences and loves, is a woman of great mind andexceptional firmness of character. She emigrated with him from Scotland when she was 4 young widow and he a small boy. She bound him to a blacksmith, and he afterward improved on his early training and became a mechanical engineer. He was inured to hard- ship. In the capacity of neer, his mother being infirm and needing some comforts, and he himself wanting to save a little money to have time to think, he ac- cepted employment on the Congo river to re- air engines of disabled steamers which had roken down there andon the west coast of Africa, He was bound to stay at least a whole og end stayed two years, keeping in health, ut suffering fearfully from the heat of the forge and that of the climate. His companions had not probably his vitality, and none of them could repair the wear and tear of working ina smithy ten hours a duy and sleeping ina bunga- low which had not time to cool at night, but kept hot as an oven. Burns was A TEMPERANCE MAN, which he is not sure was to his advantage when so much was taken out of him in work and his stomach unable, without the aid of alcohol, to assimilate meat. He could not think how he outlived the strain on his constitution, He used to drink gallons of water daily, which he gave out im perspiration. When in the Congo an early edition of Adam Smith’s ‘Wealth of Nations” was found as a trench was being dug, imbedded in a deep alluvial deposit, It must have been there more than three-quarters of a century, and how it came there nobody could conjecture. Some of it was petrified. Burns was always a great reader, and books, save those circulated by missionaries for the negroes, were notto be had. His mind kindled in reading Adam Smith, and was thrown into a new chan- nel. It was on the Congo, where civilization was represented by the forge, the steamers, some bungalows and @ tin tabernacle for tho natives, that Burns’ vague socialistic notions took shape. What molded them was the work of the staid, sagacious Adam Smith. But as Smith wrote before the relations of capital and labor were affected by steam, there were pages in his book which jarred with many thin, which Burns bad learned from hard expori- ence, Burns, I remarked, was abstemious in food as well as beiug a water drinker. I pressed him to partake of the dishes I had ordered for him. At last be told me that bis mother had all his life exhorted him tokeep the body in sub- jection. BREMANGED somE Dar. Burns among other things said that he fan- cied he would be hanged some day, and that if he did as much by swinging for the labor cause as John Brown did for the cause of negro emancipation he should not mind. ¢ His mother was always exhorting him to guin in self- mastery, to keep down selfishness and not to shrink from any sacrifice that might serve as a means for bringing about the reign of justice upon earth. I have said that Burns is not ma- levolent. While we were at dinner he inveigh with violence (which was nos that of a rbetori- cian) against the capitalists and the high divi dends they took through griuding down labor, but softened and said: “The system is what should be hated, and uot the individual capital- ists, in so far aw they are not wilfully op- pressive and grinding.” When was taking him from my house to the railway, on the road we walked between two tall domain walls recently built by astockbroker. There was an accidental breach in the walls, through which we obtained # glorious and gladdening prospect of the surroundiyg country—a country of hills, dales and forests, with luminous horison. Said Bur: cious usurpation of the owner of that domain to block out that view! Have not wayfarers a right to be gladdened by it? Has any radical member of the chamber of deputies ever mechanical engi- thought of proposing s crushing tax on walis of this kink” I did not remember that any had. This year I bed twocalls from Burns. Since the day he spent in the country with me he had been in prison and elected a member of the London county council. I found him as socialistic as ever, but lvss irate. His horizon was wider, and he bad the concise way of put- ting things of a man who hasa good deal to do. He told me that he had come to a socialist congress here, A Marxist congress was going ou simultaneously, Burns rather wished for a fusion, which could not, he afterward learned, be negotiated. His idea was to form, as much as possible, a body of all nations, peoples, tongues and languages, who would see that it was to their interest to combine for certain specific objects. He was MBDITATING THE GREAT STRIKE which is now going forward. The class of men engaged in it are about the most uncompromis- ing that ever an agitator took in hand, and have never been in any great anti-capital com- bination. They are the drifts of civilization bronght down by hard times and incapacity tor any sort of skilled labor to the mouth of the Thames, and form a large percentage of that Whitechapel district to which Juck the Ripper's exploits have given world-wide fame. urns seems weighted with a sense of responsibility, but to see what be was about while he was with mea German diplomatist dropped in. This gentleman had served as first secretary of lega- tionin Copenhagen, Paris, London and St. Petersburg, and belongs to a celebrated diplo- matic family. I introduced him to the socialist, who startled him at dist aud then interested him immensely. He had previously known nothing of Burns, When the latter had gone away the other visitor asked who that strangely dark man was. He said he was fascinated by him and by the contrast between the blackness of his countenance and the picturesque bright- ness of his eyes, which were those of an ideal- ist. When I told him that he was “Burns, the London agitator,” he said: “That man will ive the newspapers Lage of work. if you ave an joppoctenity loask me to meet him quietly, 1 was the intimate friend of Lasalle. Burns believes in what he says, which is the best way to make the starvelings of London, and all on whom civilization presses heavily, to believe in him also.” This prediction is ful- filled to the letter. —— eee A Queer Mishap. A sensation was created in Chambers county, Ala., several days since by the arrest of Rev. J. H. M. Duran, o Methodist minister, charged his ni Sypeosteol mene He was lodged in jail an came off Tuesday. He admitted that he had The tive tion in case refunded, ton guaranteed tery cone oc mOBe, Deputies Formally Organize. Bishop Whipple, in concluding his sermon before the Episcopal convention in New York yesterday,said: “Twenty-five years ago 4,000,000 of slaves received American citizenship. The nation owes them a debt of gratitude. During all the horrors of our civil war they were the Protectors of southern women and children, knowing the failure of their masters would be the guarantee of their freedom. There was not one act that master or slave might wish to blot out. They are here tostay. They will not be disfranchised. Through them Africa can be redeemed. They ought to be our fel- low-citizens in the kingdom of God.” THE FIRST COLORED DEPUTY. These remarks of the aged bishop were par- ticularly gratifying to several colored clergy- men who are attending the convention. The first colored man who has sat asa deputy in the general convention is the Rey. Thomas W. Cain of Galveston, Tex. He is rather dark and wears a slight mustache and goatee. He was formerly in Richmond, Va., and showed what natural eloquence he possesses ina speech he made at a meeting of colored clergymen in Baltimore about two years ago. The last dio- cesan convention of Texas elected him an al- ternate, and he sits as a deputy in the absence of the Rev. Robert 8, Stewart. The diocese of Florida two years ago elected as a compliment a colored man as deputy, but at this year’s con- vention only white deputies were chosen. Near the Rev. Mr. Cain were the Rev. George F. Bragg, jt, of Norfolk and George E. How- ell of Liberty, Pa. THE HOUSE OF BISHOPS. After the service the house of bishops, the Right Rey. John Williams of Connecticut pre- siding, organized by electing Rev. Dr. Wm. Tatlock of Connecticut secretary and the Rev. George F. Nelson and the Rev. Dr. Thomas R. Harris of New York assistant secretaries. The Right Revs. Boyd Vincent of southern Ohio, Abiel Leonard of Nevada, ©. C, Grafton of Fond du Lac and Cyrus F, Knight of Milwau- kee, consecrated since the last meeting of the convention, were introduced, and Bishops Ed- ward Sullivan of Algoma and Frederick Court- ney of Nova Scotia, the deputation from the bearing Sa, Rear presented and menaes y the presiding bishop. Messages of sympa- thy were sent to the. bishops of Ohio and Kansas, who were detained by illness. THE HOUSE OF DEPUTIES. Inthe afternoon the house of deputies or- ganized. The Rev. Dr. John H. Elliott of the diocese of Maryland, with Judge Wilder of Min- nesota asa seconder, moved that with unani- mous consent the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix be elected president of the house. he Key. Dr. E. E. Beardsley of Connecticut. whom the Rev. Dr. Dix succeeded in 1885, objected on the round of order. Motions were made by the Rey. Dr. Thomas F. Davies of Philadelphia and Hon. 8. Corning Judd of Chicago. and finally by unanimous consent the secretary cast the ballotelecting the Rev. Dr. Dix. He was escorted to the chair by the Rev. Dr. Davies and Judge Wilder and made @ brief speech acknowledging the honor. The Rev. Dr. Charles Hutchins was re-elected unanimously secretary of the house and he ap- jointed as assistant secretaries the Rev. . Henry Austice, D.D., Carroll Davis, E. W. Worthington and W. E. Prout. The Rev. Dr. J. H. Elliot and Judge J. Wilder were appointed @ committee to notify the house of bishops that the house of deputies had organized, and, after two resolutions looking to the completion of rayer book revision had been offered by the Rev, Dr. Wm. R. Huntington, the house, on motion of Judge Wm. A. Stewart of Baltimore, adjourned, ——— Horses Substituted for Electricity. The Baltimore and Hampden electric rail- way yesterday discarded electricity as a motive power and hereafter horses will be used. The cars on this line have been propelled by elec- tricity during the past four years, and now the president of the company says the road is far more expensive to operate by electricity than with horses, It was formerly a horse railroad. A great deal of money has been spent experi- menting with the motors in the hope that electricity would eventually be made to super- sede the tones but the longer the new power was used, ay the railway people, the further receded the hope of making it even as cheap an agency of operation as horse: sor The Leconey Murder Case. ‘The habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Chalkley Leconey, accused of murdering his niece, Annie Leconey, before Referee Vroom in Camden county, N.J., yesterday, were interesting, but devoid of result. The story of the two most important witnesses on the part of the state was told, and the main facts on which the prosecution will build its argument were divulged. Garrett Murray, the colored farm hand who worked for Chalkley Leconey, swore that on the morning of the murder he went to the stable, leaving Chalkley Leconey and his niece in the house. While in the barn yard be heard @ muilled scream irom the house, and shorily afterward be saw Leconey come out to the pump and wash his bands, got on the wagon to go to the field Leconey said: “You shut your mouth about this, or I'll sbut it for you; I'll kill you.” Willism Smith, # neighbor, testified to Leconey’s coming tohimon the morning of the murder and tellidg him that he had had a fuss with Annie and feared that he had hurt r. He said that Leconey told him to see that Garrett Murrey kept bis mouth shut and they would both be rewarded after the funeral. This evidence will in all Pek gd dis- miss the habeas corpus proceedings and form- ally commit Leconey to await the action of the grand jury. Smee ee A Very Sly Elopement. Faint heart has once more won a fair lady anda fortune with her. Mr. Byron Day and Miss Kate Speer of Allegheny, Pa., were se- cretly married at Camden. N.J., on Monday morning last. The bride is the eldest daughter of Wm. W. Speer, a wealthy plow manutac- turer, and the groom a poor clerk in a dry goods store, Last Friday Mr. aud Mrs, Speer and their daughter left for Buffalo, N.Y. Next evening they took a train for Philadelphia, ar- riving there on Sunday. On Saturday Mr. Day asked for a leave of absence. He, too, started for Philadelphia, He had evidently been ted beforehand of Miss Speer’s movements, for on Monday morning they met, sioped away from the young lady's parents and took the ferry boat for Camden. There they were mar- ried. Upon arriving at home the bride broke the news to her mother. Mrs. Speer was con- siderably shocked at the elopement. Mrs. Day is one of the prettiest young women in Alle- gheny. Sho has been a favorite in society for some time. The groom is about twenty-nine ears of age. Itis said he had afaiut heart, however aad Greadnt G approkes Mes Speer tousk for his daughter's hand, fearing a re- fusal. He had been paying attention to Miss Speer for some time. see — What Chang Yen Hoon Will Do. Mr. Chang Yen Hoon, the retiring Chinese minister, who sailed from New York yesterday, anticipates with joy seeing his native land again, but has many regrets at leaving his American friends. He can count so many personal friends among Senators and Representatives, says the NewYork Sun, that he is of opinion that if he had not been absent in Peru Scott’s exclusion bill would never have been passed. The minister, on his arrival in China, will proceed at once to Peking to report himself to the em w. He will not retire to private life, for babes a high office in Peking. Three years ago he was a) pointed president of the board which has the management of the imperial gtables—an office similar to master of the horse in the English court, This office has been reserved for him during his absence. After a while he will prob- ably be sent as governor to one of the prov- inces, Now the building of is oc- cupying the serious attention of the Chinese government. In all probability the minister will be appointed one of the assistant man- agers. As he speaks highly of the railroad management in this country, he will stren- uously urge the adoption of the same system in China and also favor the importation of Amer- icen rails, He intends also to propose to the re) government the establishment of a postal system similar to that of this country.
