Iv LANCASTER DAILY INTElIGENCER FRIDAY, AUGUST 24. IsSS. , IS vs icastet fntellfgenra;. ,A.Y EVENING, AUO, 24, 1883. . CanberliBd Ceaaty relltlcs. Shortly after the election of a state senator in Cumberland and Adams counties last fall the air of that region was charged with rumors of bribery, corniDtien and fraud ; and though most of these pointed te the Republican man agement, which was flush with money and unscrupulous in the use of it, the Republican candidate, who was defeated at the polls and was se returned by the canvass of the vote, announced his in tention of contesting the election. He very seen gave It up, however, and Mr. Wagner retained undisputed possession of bis senatorial seat. When it came te the adjustment of the costs the counsel in the case, by some hocus-pecus, agreed te admit that there was "probable cause " for the contest and se imposed the costs upon the county, while Senater Wagner, by a stretch of legislative and executive generosity, had an allowance for his expenses inserted in the general appropriation bill of the regular session. The next and most remarkable step in this most remarkable contest was an agreement te open the ballet boxes and inspect the votes and tally papers. It seems te us that the grant of this pir. mission by the court if it was done that way was utterly unjustifiable. There seems te have been no reason for it, ex cept te gratify some old-woman curies ity. Nothing is better settled than the ballet of the voter shall be protected from inspection until its legality has been impeached and it shall have been demonstrated by the forms of law that it was unlawfully cast. In all the elec tion contests in this state under the new constitution, this dectrine has been affirmed and it is sound in law and morals. But up in Cumberland county, even upon the abandonment of the con test, they seem te have ravaged the bal bal let boxes, scrutinized their contents and made a recount of the vote simply te gratify somebody's curiosity. Scandalous as this proceeding was, the disclosures made by it are even mere se ; and, however irregularly they have come about, it will net de for the authorities there te ignore them. The recount of the voles in some districts shows that the ballets new in the boxes de net agree with the returns of the tally sheets; and the discrepancy is such that if it ex tends ever the district would impeach the validity of Mr. Wagner's seat in the Senate which he new holds. Besler's friends claim, of course, that the elec tion officers, who were mostly Demo crats, miscounted the vete3 ; Wagner's friends insist that after the ballet boxes left the election officers they were tam pered with and there are many circum stances te corroborate this suspicion. This is the question that should be de cided in the courts. Wagner has his seat, the contest is ever and the county has paid the piper. Whoever commuted the fraud it will net change the result of the election, but that either the votes were miscounted or the b.illet boxes were stuffed by way of preparation for the contest is unmistakable and Cumberland county should make a thor ough investigation. Politics up that way have been somewhat disreputable for the past few years. The degrading In -lluence of the Crawford county system, which has been felt here, has in some measure demoralized the Democracy and offered opportunity for the exercise of Republican schemes of corruption there. Tilings need fumigating. There never was a fitter occasion than arises from these disclosures of t he b illet box. We wait te hear Judge Herman's charge te the next grand jury. TiiEarrivalef Jehn Duke Coleridge, lord chief justice of England, en Amer ican shores is especially significant from the fact that he is the firit occupant of this exalted office who has ever deigned te pay a visit te his kin en this side of the water. The distinguished successor of Bacen and Hale will ba the guest of the New Yerk state bar association dur ins his stay in this country, and prepara tiens en an extensive scale are being made for his proper entertainment. The grand reception in his honor at the Acad emy of Music, New Yerk, will net take place until October 11. It will in all probability be the occasion of an assnm blage of legal lights such as the United States has never before witnessed. In the meantime his lordship will view the various objects of interest that the coun try affords, and ba the guest of different prominent personages in the land. The present chief justice has found the path way te his present fame less rugged than most of his predecessors in the office. Sprung from an illustrious family which numbered among its own Samuel Tayler Coleridge, the poet, his father early attained legal eminence as one of the judges of the court of queen's bench, and he lived te see his own achievements surpassed by his mere brilliant son. Lord Coleridge will go down te history as the last lord chief justice of common pleas, that office, together with that of chief baron of the exchequer, haviug been merged in the present title of lord chief justice of England by the judica ture act of 1870. Though net one of the great judges of all time, the " West of England lawyer," as he is familiarly termed, graces with dignity his place at the Jiead of the English bar, while his engaging social qualities have made friends for him in all ranks of life. The Democrats of New Yerk in pro viding for their state convention at Buffalo en September 27, were wise in fixing it a new place, where its influ ence will be felt politically and in ar ranging for a short and sharp campaign, five or six weeks are enough. The state committee also did well in directing that in the primaries te elect delegates te the state convention every Democratic voter shall have a chance te participate, and there shall be some reg ularity and form about the primaries. This has generally been ether wta, hence the frequency of contests and th; bitter ness of factional feeling in the state con vention. The New Yerk Democracy are getting right side up. The brute Gaffey who fatally assaulted W. A. J. Fisa, an inmate of the Norria Nerria Norria tewn hospital for the insane, has begun a libel suit against the New Yerk Police Gezette, the ground of which is his excep tion te the manner in which the assault was illustrated by that paper. The un blushing assurance which enables this man, while awaiting trial for a capital offence, te thus flaunt his debasimr'act in the face of the public is only equalled by his cool claim of the reward offered for his own arrest. Penitence for the cowardly deed seems farthest from his thought, and he appears te revel in the notoriety that his base brutality occasioned. The story that Rescoe Conkling, he of the hyperien carl and magnificent political terse, while at the Mammoth het springs, jumped unknowingly into a steaming bath and like the man in the bramble bush jumped out again with even mere precipi tation, is said te be founded iu fact. It is even stated that the great man in the agony of his pain se far forget his dignity as te exclaim, " I'm scalded." The ex senator found that the chilling reserve with which he has ever surrounded him self among strangers was a very inade quate protection against het water. His mode of getting into the bath without in quiring its temperature is very much of a piece with his political action in 1881, when, disdaining te feel the public pulse, he dashed into the maelstrom of a resigna tion, from which his constituents never thought it worth while te fish him out.Ne doubt Air. Conkling has ero this reached the conclusion that looking before leaping is net such a bad plan after all. FKA.TUBES OF THE STATE PRESS, The Johnstown Democrat estimates that it costs less than half a cent a day te take a weekly newspaper. The Williampert Times asserts that mere persons have been helped than hurt by newspaper attacks en their charac ters. Niles' silence in the Legislature is ex plained by the Uniontown Genius of Libert; as due te the fact that he is wait iug "till the clouds roll by." The New Castle Democrat wonders at the silence of Niles en the apportionment question and earuestly calls for his view.s thereon. The Indiana Democrat wisely believes that if Stanley Matthew were a clean official he would net shuu the iiivestiga tien of the base charge made concerning him. The Pittsburg Times thinks Oscar Wilde's only chance te succeed with his new ventures is te imitate the Langtry ma ma neuuvre and btar his play thieugh the country as a monstrosity. Iu view of the Preteau behavior of the senator from Franklin, the Chambersburg Valley Spirit says that Niles spends most of his time wendcriug hew many clays Stewart will be for him. The Trey Gazette, a Bradford county Republican paper, declares that the Democrats iu nominating Hen. Jeseph Powell for state treasurer have put a geed man in the field. It new 8eem3 ovideut, says the Eria Herald, that all means te effect an honora ble compremiso of difforencas ever the apportionment questieu have been ex hausted, and that the time has ceme for the Democrats te fix the date of adjourn ment. PERSONAL. Edisen says : "It requires as much iu gcuuity te make money out of an inven tion as te make the invention." Tai.maek is said te have drawn larger audiences in Kentucky than any circus that has appeared this summer. Meedy denies that he and Sankcy are no longer ahje te work in harmony, and declares mat it their lives are .spared they will continue tegether in the labor they both love and enjoy. Mil. Lkenahu IIuxi.ky. the eldest seu of Professer Huxley, has just taken a llr&t class in final classics at Oxford, the highest honor in classics which that uni versity can bestow. Candidate Pewei.t. thinks the Deme crats have exhausted every means te bring about a fair apportionment, and as the prospects are no brighter new than when they commenced, it is useless for them te continue the struggle. Francis A. Lewis, a prominent Phila delphia lawyer and one of the original members of tbe Cem mi I tee of One Hun dred, died suddenly ou Wednesday at his summer residence at Itye Beach, N. H., aged 53 years. Piunce Bismarck passes his time at r ricdriehsruhe in directing the improve impreve improve ineuts en his farm, no spends five or six hours a day in the open air, and gives orders te his weikmcn as though they were mere secretaries of state. Fatueu Macket, of Cincinnati, who is named as the successor of Rev. Dr. Wm. Byrne iu the presidency of Mount St. Mary's college, will, it is stated, assume the functions of that office seme tiine dur ing the coming winter. Loud Chief Justice Coleridge, of England, will be honored with a reception at Newport, It. I. The committce have decided te have no refreshments at the recaptien. An address will be piesentcd te the distinguished guest. Monsigxer Cai'EL, it is said, is loekiug at the United States with a view te its ad vantages as a home for the pope at some future day. He will deliver a lec ture in the Academy of Music, Phila delphia, en Thursday evening, September Cth, en " The True Digu.ty of Weman." President tre tem Myi.in and Speak or Faunce have appointed the following legislative committee te attend the funeral of J.

Lesses by Fire. The tannery of Reed & Pearsall, at Mount Sterling, New Yerk, was burned en Wednesday night. It had been idle for two months and is supposed te have been set en fire. The lumber camp of Fester, Blaekman & Ce., near Big Rapids, Michigan, was burned en Tuesday night. Lesses, $30,000.

THE TOBNADO'S TRACK. DEVASTATION WROUUHT IN MINNESOTA. Twenty-tlx Persons Killed at Bechcater and rifty-ene injured Less in Property, S'OO.OOO. The main course of the tornado which struck Rochester en Tuesday night was through the lewer part of the town, but its force was felt mere or less in all parts of the city, and its freaks .were simply wonderful. It demolished well built structures en Broadway, but at the same time did no harm te adjacent buildings, beyond overturning chimneys and strip ping the tin covering from the reefs. One great beauty of the city was the many trees which lined the streets. Hundreds of these were either tern down or broken off, and many of the streets were rendered impassable by being filled with their trunks and limbs. Seme of the trees were stripped perfectly bare, even the uarc ueiug lern en. That portion of the city north of the railread.called the "lower town," suffered most damage. Indeed, there is net a house there that is net iejurcd and only about 20 are left standing. It leeks at a distance as though there had never been a building standing in that portion, while in ether sections the remains of the houses show the terribly destructive force. As seen as the tornado had passed and the people in the mere favored portions of the city began te learn of the damage they went at once te render what assist ance they could, and many worked all night. Commencing at J. R. Cook's house, en the St. Paul read, which was entirely de molished, the tornado next took in Le land'&fresidcnce, barn and outbuildings, net leaiing a stick standing. Then it swept through the lower town. Frem the appearance of the ground it seemed as though a terrific flood had swept ever this section. In many places where there had been rosidences scarcely a beard is left en the premises. The grass is filled with dirt and sand as if a muddy stream had poured ever it. Early en Wednesday morning an organ ized movement was made te care for the wounded, and appeals were issued te the larger cities for aid which have been an swered with liberality. The principal losses in Rochester are abent as fellows : court heuse, $2,000 ; high school building, $2,000 ; Methodist church, $0,000; Congregational church, $1,000; railroad depot, etc.,$lG,000r Van Duscn & Ce.'s elevator, $10,000, H. J. Perter's cIovater,$7,C00 ; Harvcster works, $12,000 ; J. M. Cele's mill, $3,000 ; Cres cent creamery, $9,000 ; Cascade mill, $5,000 ; teu business blocks unroofed, $5,000; 260 houses, with contents, wrecked, $185,000; 250 houses damaged, $85,000; making a total of about $400,000. The following is a list of the killed : Jehn M. Cele, a prominent business man, owning four mills, was picked up by the wind and hurled te the ground, breaking every bone in his body ; Mrs. McQuillan, Mrs. Steel, Mrs. Zherath and August Zircrath, her son ; Mr. Osbourn and his aunt, Mrs. Frederick dough, Wr. Hetzell, Mrs. Wetherby.Wm. Higgins,Mrs. Quick, with child, and Miss McUermick. Eight bodies were taken into the country by their friends bofero their names were as as as cortaiued, and four ethers are still un claimed, making in all 2G killed. Of the wounded fifty-oue are sufficiently se te he under the care of the doctors. Mr. Mr. Carl Quick and five children aie cut about the head and otherwise injured. Mr. Rhud, wife and children and Mr. Frank Schultz are badly hurt, the should er of the latter beiug out of joint and his head cut. Annie Zircrath is seriously cut about the face and head.

Mrs. Quin and two children and Nels Hansen, wife and child are all badly cut en head and body. Mrs. Osberno aud daugh tcr are badly bruised, aud tbiee children, whose names cannot be learned, are se badly bruised that their parents, when found, it is thought, cannot rccognize thorn. Their clothes are all geno. The above named are iu the hospital. The following are with friends : Leuis Pessie, leg broken ; Mrs. Coens, leg broken, and Frank Clements, arm broken. The tornado started near Owantenna, and followed a line neatly a mile south of the railroad crossing at Rochester, and, going north of the read, passed east twenty-iive miles. Thirty miles north of the read it varied in width from ene te three miles, and did net skip, as is usual, hut swept everything clear in its track ; houses, barm aud crops are all geno. The fatal black cloud swept toward St. Charles, five miles southeast of Rochester, cutting a wide swath through the timber and farms, wrecking buildings iu the little hamlet and leaviug two corpses and three persons fatally maimed. The body of ene of the men killed was found in a tree top. He had been tern limb from limb by the mero force of the wind while being drawn up and carried along by the tcrrible fun nel. A family named Stevens, consisting of four persons, saw the approaching storm cloud and hastily crept into a large tank cistern, buried in the ground and which fortunately contained no water. Their heuse was tern te pieces and wholly car ried ever their heads. Net a vestage of their home remained but their lives were spared. A hurricane swept through the Ottawa district, doing great damage te the barns, fences and crops In Nepau two barns were set en fire by lightning, aud a man named Heushaw was instantly killed. sKUiiKr SMCirrilX The KinghlB n( fytltlaH and Knlgntu Tem plar In Session.

WiKtlKK PKANUE. Impatience or the rowers at the Attitude of tbe French Kepubllc. The Londen Times, commenting en the North German Gazette's article referring te attacks of French journals en Germany and declaring that France aleue threatens the peace of Europe, says that the irrita tion shown by the Berlin paper cannot be explained by the reason assigned, as the French press upon the wbole has been very moderate in regard te Germany. The article is rather.an expression of tbe gen eral impatience at the conduct of the French and ought te convince them that their expeditious in various parts of the world de net add in the smallest degree te their influence in Europe. The article of the North German Gazette startled Paris, alarmed Europe and caused prices en the beurses of Paris, Vienna and Ber lin te fall. The press everywhere expresses sur prise at the Gazette's attack en France aud wonder as te what its object is. The French papers repel the charges centaiued in the article and intimate that France is better prepared new te say that Prince uismarck is seeking a pretext for a quar rel or for the imposition of fresh army burdens. The Austrian press asks if the article means war. The English journals think that the warning was overdone and that the cause for it was insufficient. It would net be wise, they say, te attach tee much significance te the arti ceo. The Paris Temps points out the coincidence in time of the publication of the JSertu German Gazette sarticle and the summoning of the Reichstag, which, it says, will probably ba asked te vote fresh military credits. The Madrid Imparcial Eays that the Spauish government, after the recent rising, informed its representa tives abroad that a friendly request would be made that France comply with interna tienal law and expel the reputed author of the outbreak. The Paris correspondent of the Daily jyeica says that l'rince von He kenlehe-Schillingfursr, the German am bassader there, recently complained against the street sale el anti Prussian journal, which has sines been stepped. The Stan dard s correspondent at Berlin says : " A report that b rance will shortly mobilize her castern army corps has attracted seri eus attention here. Germany will make a counter demonstration it the idea is car ried out." JOHN LAWKKNOK SULLIVAN. nctenultted te Sustain the Hener el Ills Native City. Jehn L. Sullivan, the pugilist, has been visited by a party ei JNew Xerk gentlemcn. lie entertained them royally .at lus gor geous saloon en Washington street and spoke freely about the coining glove con test between himself and Ryan. "The match will cjme off," he said, " if we can get a hall, and I guess there will be no trouble ou that score, for the simple reason that we will give just such geutlemanly exhibition as I have given before in Bosten, when, as you knew, hundreds of our best citizeus were present and afterwards expressed their appreba tien. It is net te be a sluggin' match, as the papers wrongfully called my bout with Slade in New Yerk, but simply a display of science between men who knew hew te put their hands up and defend themselves just as readily ai if they were attacked upon the street." " Hew about Rial Stoddard and ether persens they want te put up against you ?" " Let them ceme right along auy or ail of them," said the champion, leaning back in his chair and smiling, " they will find me ready at all times te accommodate them. I de net intend te engage in a prize fight aain with bare bauds, hut I will endeavor te maintain te the best of my ability in a gleve match with any man, four rounds, Quccusbury rules, the honor of ray native city and preserve un tarnished the title I have earned. Diek Fex has been hunting high and low and seaching every corner of England and this country te find a man te beat me, but he hasn't get the pole yet and I de net intend he shall if I can prevent it. Mace brought his Maori from the ether side of the glebo and Madden is probably of the opinion that Mitchell is the dailing that cau down me. Yeu knew the result with the big fellow from Australia. Well, let the rest ceme along and put up their money and they will net have a very long time te wait for a cover. i l'ADUY llYAM SHOT. Suspicions That lie Was Shet by his Mistress In Uulcage. Sporting circles in Chicago are in a fer ment ever the fate and whereabouts of Paddy Ryan, Sullivan's competitor in the prizering. Exactly where he was and in what condition was net known last even ing. About 7 o'clock iu the evening Paddy's heuse at the corner of 39th and Lascelle streets, was visited by a party of men in a carriage, and with them was the pugilist with his head swathed in banda ges. Brief replies te the anxious iuquires made it known that Paddy had been shot in seme mysterious manner, which neither he nor his friends wished te make public. Paddy's wife was away at a picnic at Cedar Iak. i in.w.iir suburban fishing resort, and the heuse was closed. The csrriacm mrf.ir liimmam.l at the deer iu vain, and seen after dreve away wuueuc giving any hint as te their destiuatien. The itelinn n nt-. am fn i, present, and knew of no aflray in which Paddy ceuid have been con cerned . It was discovered later en. however, that ene Sadie Wasserman, a young who is said te have captured Ryan's affeotiens, te the disgrace of his wife, had tried te commit suicide. Putting the two things together it is assumed that Ryan has been shot by his mistress, though both at last accounts, eluded the endeavors of the pelice te dis cover their whereabouts. Ryan has been en a spree for a day or two, and when in that condition is by no means a lamb in his methods.

I BASEBALL. IRONSIDES VS. HOUSTON, OF UBKSTKft. The Heme Club Lese Anether Game by tttul neldlng-Othcr Games Flayed Yes terday Field Notes. The Ironsides lest another ball yester day afternoon, which was wen by the Housten club, of Chester, by the score of 8 te 2. The crowd of spectators at the game net large inside the grounds, but a large number viewed it from neighboring trees, freight cars and houses. The Iron sides gave another exhibition of Ioeso fielding, and it was due te that, in a great measure, that the game was lest. Fester started the errors in the second inning, which allowed the first run te be scored by the visitors ; Graul made his first base by Fester's fumble., Serad's ball was stepped by Hyman but Fester muffed it ; he also fumbled a ball from the bat of Beck.and Graul scored. Sixsmith made the first run for the home team. His ball was muffed by left field ; he went te third en Sweitzer's fine bit and came home en the catcher's passed ball. The next inning gave the visitors another run whieh they received by geed batting. The score steed 2 te 1 in the seventh inning and indications pointed toaereod came. The visitors then again began heavy batting and succeeded iu making three runs in the inning with one in the eighth and two in the ninth. In these three innings Old field made several bad throws, which were of great benefit te the Housten. The Ironsides received their second and last run in the ninth inning. Sweitzer took his base en balls, stelo secend and was brought in en a two bagger by Schiller. The errors of the home team yesterday were made by a few players and the ethers did very well. Zecher played a remarkable game. In the eighth inning he made a beautiful catch of Beck's het ball with ene hand, and throwing it te first made a double play by putting Sproul out. Schiller played a fine game at first and had no errors ; he alse did well at the hat and, although he went out en strikes several times, made two two base hits. Sweitzer also played well, his batting being very fine. The playing of the visitors, both in the field and at the bat, was excellent and their errors were few. They have a fine battery which did offective work yesterday. A feature of the game was a ene handed catch by Sproul of a fly ball in right field. The score was as fellows : IRONSIDE.?.

Since the Ironsides have been organized they have net had a man en secend hase who was allowed te remain there, and it has always been the weakest point in the nine. If they continue te fill it as they have they may expect te be the losers, and can only blame themselves. A man who knows something abent the position should be placed and kept there at ence if they wish geed results. Plenty of line players can be secured, but it leeks as though the club has made no efforts te fill it. The small hey saved his money yester day te see the minstrels and viewed the baseball match from elevated positions. The usual crowd of men stele their view of it. The majority of the these had meuey te get iu, but were tee mean te pay and would rather show their littleness by crawliug ou the top of freight cars or trees. In this crowd could be scen many faces that have become familiar. It in cludes a number who would never pay anything that they could possibly heat thoraselves into, and a baseball club can expect little encouragement from them. The Alteena club arrived iu town from Philadelphia this morning,and are playing the Ironsides this afternoon. Fer the latter club Hoflerd and Sixsmith are the battery. Tbe Christiana people think tbey have a nine which is able te beat the Dauntless, of Mt. Jey. The Mt. Jey, boys are nec slew at the game aud will give any club in the county, eutside of this city, a lively shaking up. Miller, who has been playing first base with the Mantua club, canie te this city this morning aud has been engaged by the Ironsides. He will play second base this afternoon aud it is te be hoped that he will preve a success, se that he can be kept there. gOn Saturday a game will be played be tween the Star boys and a Columbia club, ou the grounds of the former, and ou Sept. 1 they will play the Quicksteps of Lancas ter. Geed games may be expected, as the clubs are evenly matched. Mount Jey Star. Itecerd-Itulidera. N. Y. Clipper. It might surprise some of the managers of baseball club3 could they get at the iuside of the professional players' work and see hew many batsmen have this saa son sacrificed the interests of their club by efforts te play for an individual record. The rules of baseball are te blame and se is the system of press reporting. The former gives official promieenco te the recerds of total base-hits and ignores sacrifice hits. The reporters, as a general rule, see nothing worthy of special praise a3ide from " two baggers," " three bag gera " and " home runs." The custom of singling out for publication the names of batsmen who make these hits and runs is responsible for their striving mere for this sort of glory than for the bsst interests of the club they represent. Alike in the field and at the bat. a man may de the most offective work in that branch of baseball technically called " sacrifice play," and yet net receive a word of credit for it at the hands e.f many of the reporters. Only let him get in a home-run, even though it be off the weakest kind of pitching, and down will go his name in the score, and laudatory press reports will fellow. All this is a hindrance te the policy of playing for the side," which is the great essential of success, and the only way for players te render a club the most effective service. Were the recording of two and three base hits and home runs abandoned asafeatuie of scoring, and the reoerding of sacrifice hits and ether points of play incidental te eamest and honest cooperative work substituted, there would be much less of " playing for a record," regardless of the club as a unit, than there new is. The publishing of weekly and monthly averages at the bat also tends strongly te induce the batsmen te go for individual records ; and it is pertinent te remark just here that the season's averages as far as published exhibit very plainly the utter uselessness of attempting te estimate a player's value te his team by the figures of bis batting averages. The record of the average of the American association thus far published and these averages, by the way should net be made up until the close of the season show that the batsmen who lead in this respect are, in a majority of cases, mem bers of clubs who are far in the rear in the race for the pennant. The seeming great achievements of the record-builders in individual and isolated cases has net ad vanced their clubs at all. Other Games Played Yesterday.
