the Senate for confirmation : Is he
an able man, and will honestly and
efficiently administer the affairs of
his office. He did not think the
question of politics should be consid
ered. ‘‘Still”, continued the Senator,
“President Cleveland has introduced
a new element in stating that he
would remove no one except for of
fensive partisanship. To remove an
offensive Republican and appoint an
offensive Democrat in his place, is. to
my mind inconsistent and I shall
take that question into consideration
when appointments come up for
consideration. I will agee
with the Administration when I can, .
and differ from it when I must.”
The President is working hard <'ay (

A Horrible Murder.
John Sharpless, one of the most
prominent Orthodox Friends in Del
aware county, was most foully mur
dered at his farm in Nether Provi
dence township, about two miles from
Chester, on the 22nd inst. His farm
is located in a lonely road. At nine
o’clock at night a strange colored
man called at the house while it was
raining. He found Mr- Sharpless sit
ting with his family- He induced
him to go to the barn with him for
some straps, under the pretext that a
carriage, in which were three ladies,
had broken down in the road. When
in the stable the negro struck Mr
Sharpless on the back of the head
with a hatchet, crushing his skull,
and killing him instantly. After tak
ing his watch the negro put out the
lantern and returned to the house for
the purpose, it is thought, of killing
all therein —Mrs. Sharpless and the
three other women. In reply to a
question, he said he wanted money,
and advanced toward one of the wom
en, at the same time asking what had
become of a young girl, whom he
missed from the company. Upon
learning that she had gone out, and
the colored servant being sent for, the
villain left- A neighbors barn was
fired a short time after the murder
and burned, with all the crops, farm
ing implements and four head of
horses, it is believed by tiie murderer
to distract attention. The body of
John Sharpless was found in the sta
ble where he had fallen. SI,OOO have (
been offered for the apprehension of i
the murderer, SSOO by the family, and
SSOO by the county. A colored man
was arrested the next day in Philadel
phia by the police who is suspected
of the murder. He gives his name as 1
Isaac Lewis, and says he has no home.
It isthe belief of some persons in this (
vicinity that this is the same negro
who did the robbing in this town a
few weeks ago.
The old defenders of Baltimore
have almost all passed through the
gate to the silent city of the dead.
Sami. Jennings aged eighty eight,
died last Sunday; but four are living of

who fought in the war of 1812-15 die,
but the pensioners are immortal.

Stories on the Roac/.
Commercial Travelers at a Wayside
Inn— Something to Put in a
Gripsack.
“Gentlemen 1 almost envy yon the posi
tions you fill; your experience of the world;
your knowledge of business ; the changing
sights you see, and all that, you know.”
This warmly expressed regret fell from
the lips of an elderly pleasure tourist, last
August, and was addressed to a semicircle
of commercial travelers seated on the porch
of the Linden Hotel, St. Louis, flio.
“Yes,” responded a New York represen
tative of the profession, “a drummer isn’t
without his pleasures, but lie runs his risks,
loo —risks outside the chanties of railroad
collisions and steamboat explosions.”
“What risks for instance ?"
“This, for instance,” said Mr. W. D.
Franklin, who was then traveling for an
Eastern house, and is known to merchants
in all parts of the country: “The risk —
which, indeed, amount to a certainty—of
getting the dyspepsia from perpetual change
of diet and water and for having no fixed
hours for eating. I myself was an example.
I say was, for lam all right now.”
“No discount on vour digestion ?” broke
in a Chicago dry goods traveler, lighting
his cigar afresh.
“Not a quarter per cent. But I had to
give up traveling for a while. The dyspep
sia ruined my paper. Finally I came across
an advertisement of PARKER S TONIC
I tried it and it fixed me up to perfection.
There is nothing on earth, in my opinion,
equal to it a cure for dispepsia.,’
Messrs. Hisoox & Co., of New York, the
proprietors, hold a letter from Mr. Franklin
stating that precise fact. PARKER’S
TONIC aids digestion, cures Malarial Fe
vers, Heartburn, Headache, Coughs and
Colds, and all chronic diseases of the Liver
and Kidneys. Put a bottle in your valise,
