ONE SWIFT PHI!.AI»KI.rH!AN.

Bishop Potter. In Introducing the first speaker.

Mr. Beck, made a humorous allusion to a victim ,

aUvut to be thrown to the lions. Mr. Beck caused Jmuch lauchter by retorting that no after dinner ,¦peech could reasonably be expected from such a jvictim. Mr. Carneple interjected a remark that the \Prophet Daniel had set tin example for him. Mr jPeck aroused more laughter by declaring that as ;Mr. Carnegie uns men a well Known authority onrxoflts he, thr speaker, would not presume to dis-pute the point with him. Mr. Beck attempted to

refute the theory that the people nf Pennsylvania

are flow by fr.yir.g that within one hour afterGovernor Beaver was Inaugurated a Philadelphia

r.olit'.r'.an applied to him for the position of Janitorcf the Carrol. The Governor replied that the place

had been filled half an hour before. A few days

afterward the ;.; r.trted offlrepefker saw the

trownei bcxir of that Janitor hauled out of theriver. He rushed to the Governor and applied

*r»tn. Baying: 'Ihave Jut.l seen my rival's corpsepulled from the river." "Sorry." replied the Gov-ernor, "but Ihave Just given the berth to the¦an who »aw him fall In."

MR CARNEGIE'S SPEECH.

Mr. Carnegie paid a glowing tribute to the worthof Bishop Potter in hip speech, and also mail manyhumorous and sarcastic hits which provoked great

applause. Among other things he said:

We hear of th« threatened dethronement of Penn-rylvania from her empire position as a manufactur-ingState; the peat of empire is to move South, orItIs to raove West; but so far as the ppesker see*there is no danger of removal. Several regions are••going to he" the seat* of ¦eel manufacture. Thisreminds me of th« story of an old Pittsburg manfond of speeding his trotter, who was finallydustedby some of the younger geneiatlon. He slippedaway secretly to Kentucky to get a horse thatwould restore." his supremacy. He was shown a longstring of hiKh rired horses of the past, with theirrecords, then an equally long string of their prog-eny, and rcpaled by tales cf what they were goingto do. The old man, wipinghi* forehead, said: "Youhave ehown me th« 'have Aones' and you haveshown me the "going to do's.' but what 1 am herefor li 'an i»er.'

"Pennsylvania is the "iFer."

In M¦ r^pect 1 have been disappointed aboutPennsylvania. She was ct the beginning of theRepuoilc the Empire Siate, tut lost that title, andwas far behind New-York until the last few «lee.ades. when she bopan gaining, and has p.Tiii-.ievery decade, steadily upon New-York. She hasthirty-two Representative* la Congress, againstNew-York's thirty-four, and Iconfidently hojM-dthat the la»t census would rlv«her another gain,but. *!a»! the has fallen behind New-York, whichcontains nearly L/MMNpeople more. 1 have beentrying to account for thl*. The reason undoubted^is that the mining and manufacturing lnter«>si.durtag the U*t decade have l»-»-n at low water 1mark. It iir<itni-. however, to be different durin;rthla decade, aid we must hope that Pennsylvania

1 will overcome its srtbark.Probably we Famijrfraßlans are permitted toclaim that the census is wrong. That Is always asource of satisfaction to fallhack upon. But ther^is another reason which FtriLes m«. Judging fromto-r.iphts gathering, and that Is the gr^atnumber of Pennsylvantans who migrated here n<>doubt with missionary zeal, to enlighten and re-form New-York. They wish to Join you, Mr. Chair-man, In ycur good work. Now. it is unfair tocountall these Pennsylvaninn* added to the population ofPJew-Tork State, as on!y counting one each butcount them for what they are worth compared tothe average New-Yorker.

Waller, who waselosn behind them, crashed Into them as they fell.Turvllle was a few feet behind Waller, and beforehe could stop he rode over the three prostratemen, and was thrown headlong Into a box. ThenFisher fell on th« men lying on the track.
