LANCASTER DAILY INTELU6ENCER JtttJfi8t)A.Y .TUftE 22 1882. Lancaster ntrlligcnrer. THUBSDAY. EVBNINO, JUNE 22, 1882. The Ramp CeHvemlen. In the absence of the editorial staff of the Philadelphia Press from their pests yesterday, in attendance upon the rump conventional Harrisburg, their chairs seem te have been occupied by some cheerful Mark Tapley, borrowed for the occasion, likely from the Bulletin. This improvised Press editor sees the "premise of peace " in the scornful rejection by the rump convention of the preposition for a new convention, and he declares that "the convention leaves the way open for harmony," by requesting the state committee te adept such measures as will promote harmony and elect ' the Republican ticket "that is the regular ticket with Beaver at the head and Brosius at the tail of it. It is very diffi cult te see hew the Cameren people could say less or ask mere than this. The editors of the Press who attended the convention knew very well the meaning of the reso lution that was passed. It means that Chairman Cooper and his commit tee, who are the agents of Cameren,shall go ahead and elect the Beaver ticket and waste no time in parley with these whom the caucus cheered Isaiah II Brown for calling " parricides." Mr. Brown said : " Let us nail our flag te the mast aud say as did Admiral Farra gut when told while sailing up Hampton Ileads that there were torpedoes ahead, 'Damn the torpedoes, go ahead !' " And Mr. Biuin was quite as loudly cheered when, with flashing eye and scornful lip and " wandering, withering " voice he said : " Shall the itching nil of the annoying louse which has fastened itself in the tail of the kingly lien be of mere importance than the royal beast him self ? Shall the moon come down ;is a plaything te quiet babies 'i When will concession end V If jeu let down one bar the hogs will rush into the orchard and devour all before them. I beg par don of the Independents for the simile, and as I don't wish te offend anyone 1 beg pardon of the hogs." These were the men and the sentiments which pre vailed in the caucus and which control the state committee. There will be no doubt about its course. The Press has occupied a very equiv ocal position in regard te the troubles in its party. It has assured its readers that it would be time enough for it te determine which ticket it would support when every effort had been exhausted te get a single Republican ticket. It affects te believe that chance is net et exhausted. It professes te see in the suggestion te the state committee te adept " harmony" measures an " olive branch" te the Independents. Conceding that this may be inferred from the letter of the resolution it is well known that no such intention un derlay the action of the convention, or of the caucus rather, and Mr. Cooper's committee will net adept them. This construction of the resolution, however, offers a bridge for the Press te cress ever into the Independent camp or back among the Regulars. If the Stalwarts make no move for "harmony," in the opinion of the Press, it can make their failure an excuse te quit their com pany. On the ether hand if the Inde pendents de net accept the alleged " olive branch " tendered, the Press may part company with them and satisfy itself of its consistency in gulping down the Regular ticket. The convention will net have met and died in vain if it en ables the Press te get down off the sharp edged rail en which it has been sitting for the past few weeks. - Candidate Brosius. On our first page we present fully and fairly, as a matter of local and political news, an account of Mr. Brosius' nomi nation at Harrisburg yesterday, hew it came about and hew it is received by the press of his party and ether prominent newspapers. Here at home, where Mr. Brosius is deservedly esteemed for his personal qualities, the effect of his nomi nation upon the shattered political for tunes of his party cannot be fairly gauged by local opinion. In districts where the old abolition and temperance sentiment give tone te Republicanism he can, no doubt, be put upon the stump te geed purpose, and he may argue plausibly with these of his type for the salvation of his party. In ether districts of the state he has only negative strength, and with ether elements of his party his name will be of no help te it. Te Mr. Brosius himself the nomina tion is no compliment, received as it is from a rump convention, and at a time when it went begging and was only sought by a couple of hack politicians whom everybody was relieved te get rid of. Ner does he ewe it or anything elsu te that faction of his party which has been lately patronizing him, but which, when he was less pronounced in his stalwartism though no less sure of his principles--denied him even a notary public appointment and defeated his as pirations te sit in the Lancaster school beard by the election of an ignoramus ever him. Mr. Brosius' recent political course has net commended him te the favor of the ,2Vew Era faction of his party here and the Independents. They opposed his election te the state convention and they will net regard his candidacy with any mere favor than that of auy ether man whom they knew te 1ms opposed te their efforts at reform beyond- the party lines. A great deal of indignation is being expressed in mercantile circles because the sealer of weights and measures, "Buck" Leibley, is again examining the weights and measures in use in this countymest of which he stamped a year age -and charging parties in interest his exorbitant fees for this superfluous service. If he is acting in accordance with the law in imposing this enormous tax en the mercantile community, it is time the law was repealed or modified ; and if he is transcending bis rights he should be curbed. In either event the merchants and dealers should combine te ascertain (heir rights and maintain them. MINOR TOPICS. "Fer ence " Oalusha A.

The Senate has cenGrmed the following nominations of members of the Utah com mission : Alexander Ramsey, Algernon S. Paddock, Geerge L. Godfrey, James R. Pcttigrew, of Arkansas, and Ambrose B. Cariton, of Indlaua. A correspondent of the Press accuses Gen. Beaver of having voted for Latta, for lieutenant-governor ; Wallace, for state senator ; Orvis, for judge, all Dem ocrats. It would be interesting te knew hew he voted for Wallace Beaver never having been in the Legislature. According te the Hitlletin, "it has been known for some time among Mr. Wanamakcr's personal friends that he has found it impessibles te recencile his business obligations with the sacrifice at tendant upon public office." And yet it is equally well known that Mr. Wan amaker is anxious te get a congicssieual nomination with some chauce of election and that he is slated for O'neill'n district. President Rouixsen. of Brawn uiiivcr sary. took the ground in his baccalaureate sermon that belief in Christ wasa piactical help te worldly success. " There have been eminent men," he said, 'of high character and of brilliant parts, who have uet avowed themselves te he practical be lievers in Christ. But their eminence, aud learning, and character, and brilliancy have net been because of their unbelief. Neither is there auy evidence that belief might net. have added te the grounds of their distinction." PERSONAL.

Hull of the Yale beat's cicw says of their diet while training: "If any one wants pie be can have it. All he has te de is te order it. With dinner we take claret or English ale, according te taste.

The Harvard oarsmen are net indulged te the same ox ex tent, though they are net kept en the strict diet usually prescribed. Jeffersen Davis has withdrawn his acceptance of the invitation te lecture in Atlanta Ga., for the benefit of the Yeung Men's Library association, pleading feeble health and the weight of many years which tender him unequal te the task and leave him but little hope that time will render him mero competent for it. He adds : "Your city has many associations which will ever keep it green in my mem ory if it should net be permitted te me again te iu visit it." Eli Perkins proceeded somewhere about Cheyenne, te clear his pockets of accumulated memoranda, tearing up the papers and throwing thorn out of the window. The last scrap had been tern, aud the scattering fragments wcre lying iu the ditches by the roadside scores of miles away, when the disgusted Eli discovered that he had tern up his wife's railroad ticket. In vain he explained te the con ductor ; the fact that he was Eli Perkins was against him, and he was obliged te buy another ticket at tip-top rates. Tbe flames. N. Y . Sun. Last year's river aud harbor bill, as passed by both houses of Congress, appro priated $11, 520,000. Big steal as it was, it bears no comparison te the present con spiracy. The bill which has just passed the Heuse, and gene te the ether cud of the capital te measure the honesty or dis honesty et the Senate, makes away with abent eighteen millions ; and all the Skoo Skeo Skoe doowobskooks are net yet heard from. There net only has been an increase iu the dimensions of the steal, there also has been a decrease in the honest resistance te the scheme ou the fleer of the house. Last year eighty five members voted against the disgraceful business ; this year there were only forty-seven. It strikes us that the list of the forty seven congressmen who did uet join iu the general agreement te plunder is worth pre serving. There were twenty-six Republi cans aud twenty-one Democrats Here are the names of the Republicans who voted against the bill : Aldricb, 111. ; Andersen, Ks. ; Briggs, N.

" I would like te see an editor," said a lady of rather prepossessing appearauce, as she nncned the deer OI tne eatienai room yesterday afternoon and glanced furtively into the apartment. " That is net a par ticular herculean task, miss," said the herse reporter. " The Tribune has new en draught almost any brand of editorial thought that you can call for," and tbe adherent of Iroquois smiled a bland 2.10 smile, which seemed te reassure the young lady amazingly. " Well,'' said tbe young lady, "lam going te graduate next week, and mamma said that perhaps if I read my essay te some editor he would point out any little defects in it and show hew they could be remedied." " Mamma told veu that, did she ?" " Yes, sir." "Your maternal ancestor," said the horse reporter. " is evidently a person of great mental fertility. She could net by any possibility have given you a mere coi cei rect pointer. What is the title of your essay?" " Life's Possibilities," ' was the reply. "That is certainly a comprehensive subject," remarked the compiler, of the 2.30 list, " and in the case of lovely woman may include anything from being mistress of the White Heuse te hanging out red flannel shirts en the West Side. Yeu have get a pretty geed nerve te tackle a subject el se sweeping a nature.- The coming graduate seated herself alongside of the hersa reporter's desk. "Shall I begiu at the beginning V" she risked "I think you might better," was the reply. "Schoolmates," began the girl, "we stand upon the verge of a shereless sea, the" "Held ou," said the herse reporter. "Come back and get the word again." "Why, what's the matter, sir '" asked the young lady. "That's all wrong," was the reply. " Hew can anyone stand upon the verge of a shereless sea ? If asca's get a verge it isn't shereless by quite considerable. Yeu must rig that sentence up differently." "De you think se?" "Certainly I de. Yen might as well say you wero sitting in the arm-chair of a chairlcss parlor. I suppose you have been there." The yeuug lady blushed aud said she really didn't knew. "Perhaps, then, you would be kind enough te suggest the out eut eut line of an essay ferme. I hardly think the ene I have written would suit you." "Well," said the herse reporter, "you want te say something that will catch the old men that have nice sons ; something that will carry the old tenghs back into the misty past J with its flood of tender ic ic ic collectieus, and make 'em leel as if they ought te have died early. The Ship of Life racket is a pretty geed one." "The what?" asked the yeuug lady. " The Ship el Life racket," replied the herse reporter ; " and seeing that you have started out en a sort of mariue essay, perhaps it would be the best way te have it head. Yeu take that scuteuce about the shimmering sea being kissed by the horizon for a starter, and then you go ahead. Yen want te describe the squall iu all its dreadful splendor, and tell a nice, easy lie about a stately ship that has ceme from the far-away islands of the Southern seas, where the breezes are ladeu with the balmy odor of spices, aud all that kind of rubbish, you knew. Then work up the peroration. Tell hew the geed ship, almost in sight of home, is attacked by the tempest. Give 'em a great talk about the erstwhile placid surface of the mighty deep being lashed inle ungovern able fury by the fierce winds that seem te laugh a wild, demoniac laugh in very glee at the destruction they are causing. And then, when cveiything leeks as dreary, aud desolate, and hope less as the editorial page of a Milwaukee paper, lug out the light gleaming in all its pure radiauce again, and have the ship get safely into pert. Theu say that the ship is the Ship of Life aud the light the light of a mother's love, or something like that, and sit down. You'll be sure te hit 'em hard if you de this." " De you really think se ?" " It's dead certain." " Then I shall fellow your advice ; and let me thank you for your kindness," said the girl", a? she started for the deer. " Au reveir," said the horse reporter. " Come in again after you are married and I will put you en te a nice name for your first baby." A DOU AS A DETECTIVE. The Hand or a Murdered Weman That Weultl Net Stay Hurled. Deliver Tribune. " Murder will out." That a clue te a horrible crime has recently been discover ed there can scarcely be a doubt. Some thing ever a week age a horrible trophy was brought iute the residence of Mr. Brady, who lives en Larimer street, West Denver. He first noticed a pet deg com ing into the room with what appeared te be a piece of meat in his mouth. The deg was repulsed several times, but still in sisted upon bringiug the unsightly beue or meat, as the case might be, into the house. Te his horror he noticed that it was a human hand. The flesh was de cayed, but still adhered te the fleshy por tions of the baud and even te the back of the fingers aud knuckles. The hand was appareutly that of a woman. It was small aud delicate aud looked as if it had been tern from the body of a corpse. It was wrapped in a piece of paper aud laid away iu a secure place iu the back yard. Finally the dogs get held of it again aud began te carry it about the neighborhood until a citizen buried it beside a tree which grown near the mill ditch near Larimer street. Here it remained for several days until the heavy storm of Saturday night washed the dirt away and again exposed it te view. Mr. William Ryan was the second te find the "hidden hand." He lives in the old church at the side of the mill ditch where it cresses Larimer sticct. Going toward the ditch early en Sunday morning, after the storm, he came te the tree already alluded te. Where the dirt had had been partially washed away and was beaten down hard and solid between two of the largest roots of the tree he saw projecting from the earth a human hand and wrist. Officer Casey in looking the matter up found the facts te be as first stated, i. c, that the hand was buried at tbe feet of the tree after it had first been found in the possession of a deg. Further than this he was unable te trace the matter. His theory is that the finding of the hand is the clue te a murder. Whether it was the right or left hand was net learned. One theory is that a murder must have been committed and the body buried near the mill-race, where the water washed against it until it was partially exposed and a hand or arm was tern off by tbe dogs A Tribune re porter visited the locality yesterday and found all who were cognizant of the strange affair very much excited about the matter.

James Trijjolene is an Englishman who loved Minnie Seguin, an attractive girl of geveutccu years. Her mother favored the suit, but Minnie opposed it. Tuesday night she took a walk along the tow-path of the Merris canal with Henry James and was met by Trijjolene. Without any pro vocation the latter whipped out a revolver and fired two shots at James, who fled for life. Trijjolene then shot the girl ; the ball entered her face and ledged in the brain causing instant death. Trijjolene then picked up her body, threw it into the caual and was throwing stones at it when the approach of peeple caused him te run. Minnie Seguiu's body was taken from the water and a physician summoned whegave as his opinion that death occurred before the body was thrown iute the canal. The sheeting occurred about 200 yards cast of the bias:, furnace. The girl's escort, Henry James, was se overcome with excitement and fright that he can tell but little of the tragedy. His conduct in fleeing and deserting the girl in her danger is the subject of sovere crit icism, though there are some who defend his actieu and say that most auy unarmed man would have fled under fire from a pistol in the hands of a frantic lunatic. James is uet strong aud he was paralyzed with fear when the assassin presented a revolver and fired. Trijjolene is still at large. He Ls about 23 years old, about five feet six inches tall, and has dark hair and moustache and gray eyes. He was dressed in a dark grey suit, high crown felt hat aud high top beets. The feeling against him is intense. His victim was a fiue looking young lady, just budding iute womanhood, quiet and lady-like in her demeanor, and was a gen eral favorite. The only explanation of the muidercr's act is that he wa3 maddened by jealousy. U'KIOCKKI) 1NA COLLISION. Railroad Officials en a Pleasure Trip Return Heme With llrokeu Henes. A serious collision occurred yesterday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, at Bell's Tun nel, between Meuut Carmcl aud Centralia, ou the Lehigh Arallcy railroad. A special engine and car with a number of officials, representing the Pennsylvania railroad, the Neithcm Central, the New Yerk Cen tral and ether railroads, including the members of the coal firm of J. Langdeu & Ce., of Elmira, N. Y., extensive coal op erators in this state, aud friends, wero en the way te Glen Ouoke, a summer resort near Mauch Chunk, where the men ex pectcd te spend the day. After a hurried inspection of the collieries at Shamekiu they precccdctl en their journey aud reached their destination safely. About 3:',50 tbey left Gleu Ouoke te return te Sunbury. Every precaution was taken by the railroad officials for a clear run, the special making geed time. A short dis tance west of Mount Carmcl a ballast traju was working en the Lehigh Valley railroad, aud 'when-the Mount Carmel agent was aware of the special's arrival he heisted before his office a danger signal te prevent the passage of all trains until the special had arrived. In the meantime the ballast train cemnlctcd its work and started off rapidly, passing Mount Carmel without noticing the signal. The official there thought that she would enter a siding, but with increased speed she went onward and at the tunnel above mentioned met and collided with the special. Strange te say, no ene was killed outright. Charles Yeung, dispatcher for the Pennsylvania railroad at Sunbury, was pretty seriously iujured internally. The engineer of the excursion train was scalded and slightly injured. The fireman was unhurt. The engineer aud fireman of the ballast train wcre scalded sl:ghtly and bruised. Mr. Burrows, superinteudent of the New Yerk Central railroad, had a shoulder dislocated. Mr. Mead, superintendent of the Cauandaigua division of the Northern Central railroad, was cut and bruised. J. D. F. Slee, of Elmira, N. Y., had a leg hurt. It. Neilson, general superintendent of the Northern Central railroad, Will Will iamspert, was uninjured. About ten iu all wcre mere or less hurt. They consid ered their escape miraculous. Beth en gines wcre completely wrecked. Assist ancc was seen at hand and the whele party taken te Shamekiu, where the injured wero cared for. The cause of the accident appears te be that the ballast train en gineer failed te sec the signal at -Mount Carmcl. The track was seen cleared aud traffic was again resumed.

Vauderbilt, Vice Presi dent Tilliughast, General Superintendent Teucey, General Priest and ether mag nates of the Central Hudsen read, who left Albany en Saturday en a special train en route te Denver, Colerado. All switches were locked, crossings flagged, the entire train had been most care fully examined and no preparatieu conducive te lightning speed had been overlooked. Ten miles cast of Reme the train was flying along at the rate of seventy five miles an hour. At this point the passengers heard an unusual clatter and felt au unusual sensation a scries of bumps under the train, mighty uncertain and decidedly unpleasant. The train jumped through Oneida at undiminished speed. Every switch trembled and the train was jolted frightfully. The Dump ings underneath the cars continued with alarming suggestivencss. Suddenly the bell-cord was pulled. The air-brakes were applied. In a quarter of a raiuute the train was .standing still. Au examination was made. Wheu the tender was reached the heavy brake-beams were resting en the ground and depending en nothing but the slender safety-chaius.

SWEET GIEL GEADIJATES COMMENCEMENT AT LINDEN HALL. The Ancient Moravian Seminary at Lltltz lias Its 88th Annual Celebration Wis dom, Music aud Mirth. Commencement at Linden Hall semi nary, Lititz, last night as usual attracted an audience te the Moravian church there that crowded that cesy aud comfortable little structure te its lull capacity. All the available space in the room was occu pied, the aisles being filled with chairs and the galleries heldiug their full com plement of spectateis, friends and relatives of the pretty girls in white who se uni formly acquitted themselves in the exer cises of the evening with se much credit te themselves aud te the institution. A no table feature of the large attendance was the presence of an unusual number of the patrons aud former graduates of the school from abroad, a circumstance te which the principal, Prof. Briekenstein, fittingly alluded iu his brief but pertinent remarks at the outset of the entertain ment. Lancaster, as usual, sunt a large delegation, a single livery establishment running three omnibuses, and scores of people driving their own conveyances. The church was very prettily deco rated, a stage being erected iu that portion of the room occupied by the pulpit; it was handsomely set off with greens and flowers that contrasted charmingly with the bright aud happy faces and snowy dresses of the pupils who sat ou both sides of the platform, and whose ages ranged all the way from the merry little midgets of seven te the sedater though net less in teresting misses of "sweet sixteen" or mero. Owiug ie the extreme length of the pro pre gramme aud right here it may be appro priately remarked that the exercises ec cupied far tee much time for a warm uight and a crowded room it is inexpedient, if indeed it weic net weaiisemc, te notice in particular the many excellent features of the pregramme. Ve print in full below the order of exercises, premising that the essays of the fair young gradu ates were admirable alike in respect te their literary composition, grace aud beauty of diction, the thoughts embodied in them, and the easy, unconstrained yet withal modest manner that characterised their delivery. There were no flower;; sent te the stage, but a glance into a side room, where these fragrant and beautiful offerings were kept, was convincing proof that thoughtful friends had net forgotten this important feature of the school girl's triumph. The music, vocal as well as instrumen tal, was of a high order, special mention being due te the admirable performances of Miss Maggie Potts, of this city, whose sweet and finely cultivated soprano never sounded better than in the "Air from Dcr Frcischntz," and the ether selections which she rendered se acceptably. A sole, "The Deve" (Arditi), by Miss Margie Myers, daughter of County Commissioner Myers, of this city, was a charming con tributien te the general merit el tne vecai part of the pregramme, and the two ladies gave a duct in an excellent manner. The chorus effects were all very geed, the voices blcuding harmoniously and giving evidence of intelligent cultivation ; while of the instrumental performances it may properly be said they were in many instances really artistic, the selections be ing from the "most distinguished com posers, and some of them being executed upon thrce pianos with a grace, accuracy and spirit that would have done honor to te much elder heads and hands. The cantata and dialogues iu costume were cleverly given, one being iu French, and the. young performers evincing an unexpected readi ness in the use of the tongue. The fan drill by a, number of the young girls was a novel and interesting feature of the ex ercises. A recitation in German, "Der Haudschuh" (Schiller), by Miss Annie Temple, daughter of ex-Auditor General Temple, of Grccne comity, wen for that young lady a full measure of approval while a very funny performance was Miss Mauser's recitation, " Setting a Hen," iu which her clever use of the German' dialect aud evident keen enjoyment of the thing found ready response with her amused listeners. Rev. J. Max Hark's address te the graduates was full of kind advice and timely suggestion, while the eloquence in which they were framed and the earnest ness of their delivery could net fail te sink into the hearts of his youthful audi ters, as indeed they were net without their effect upon the audience. An affect ing passage eceuicd when the principal, Rev. II. A. Briekenstein, arose te address the graduates for the last time as a class and te present them with their diplomas. There was a noticeable tremor in the host ercd preceptor's voice as he gave them his parting words of counsel, while the tears that welled into the eyes of his pupils told hew fend was the attachment they felt for the noble old institution they were about te leave. The names of the graduates are as fol fel lows : Miss Lillic Bemberger, Miss Emma Ilnch, Miss Margie Myers, Miss Elizabeth Schrepp, Miss Augusta Diffcnderfcr, Miss Lillic Hershey, Miss Resa Rhodes, Miss Adele Thackara. Twe of the above, Misses I loch and Myers, did uet receive diplomas, preferring, " for reasons entirely honorable te themselves," as explained by the prin cipal, te take another year. Misses Else W. Rnleu and Mary It. Briekenstein re ceived diplomas in their musical course, and it may net be amiss te remark that the young ladies named especially distin guished themselves in the instrumental per tieu of the evening's music.
