WEATHER AGA1.1 PRETESTS PMPLE TEMWG TIE FINIIlTia AT- The Track In Bad Condition nnd Race Have te be Wlthdrawn-Kxblblts Being Removed Te-day. There was geed attendance at the county fair en Friday afternoon, consider ing the weather. The fakirs were kept Busy and succeeded In getting many dol lars from the city and countrymen who thought they could beat their games. They found when they examined their depleted pocketbooks that they had the expericnee and the fakirs their meney. A conspicuous figure ou the fair grounds was Constable Ruth. He was comfortably fyll of rum and after unsuccessfully bulk ing against oneortho fakirs he went en the warpath and wanted te arrest the whole gang. He staggered up te ene who had one of the squarest games en the grounds and told him he wanted him te go along and showed his star. This scene attracted n large crowd and some of Ruth's fi lends tried te get him away. They did succeed in Inducing him te go n short distance from this stand and they talked te him be long that the censtable forget that he Intended te arrest the fakir and when he returned te the stand he became an interested spec tator.' Constable Ehrnian, of the Sixth ward, told Ruth that he was the censtable of the ward and that he had no business te inter fere with his affairs and that uppcared te settle the matter. Several ether men who tried te beat "and did win for a while kicked fearfully when they were done up for a few dollars. The raanagers had heped te have two geed races te-day ,but the rain of this morn ing put the track in such a miserable con dition that racing was out of the question. Nearly all the horses entered for races have te be in Reading next week and they were shipped te that city te-day. 5lany of the exhibitors removed thelr goods from the grounds last night and many exhibits were taken away this morning. Leuis Nelly, grocer, was awarded the first premium for his harrier hound at the county fair, and Benjamin Henry, eofl'eo eefl'eo eofl'ee roastcr, a similar premium for his conch deg. Thelr dogs are thoroughbred, and wero admired by all who saw' tlmin en ex hibition. HOW ! WOW ! t AVOW ! ! ! A Spectator's Cuustlc Ciitlc-tam of the Deg Judges nt the Fair. Some of theso who fall te receive pre miums at exhibitions are always ready when opportunity Is given, te criticize the judges, believluc they eircd in their judg ment, and that the articles, pronoun codjsu cedjsu codjsu perler, are net. The writer of the following was net an exhibitor at the county falr,and for that reason his communication Is printed. If the judges of dogs think he has misstated any tiling tiiey can have space in these columns te. reply : Editors Intelmeencku : With excep tion of the beagles, very little can be said of the exhibits of the deg department, but of the judging or rather the slaughtering of these classes a great deal con be said, and then " the half would net be told." With few oxtcptiens I have attended all of the leading bench shows in tills country In nearly every capacity, and manifold anil astounding Is the lgnorauce I have encoun tered at all of them, mero or less. Rut the exhibition of Ignorance en the part of the Judges of the little side show of dogs at this week's fair was the veriest ret and eclipsed anything I have licaul of in that line in the Sast. Piizes wero awarded te dogs entirely eveld of any merit, and which under a capabie judge would have tcceived no inontien. Such proceedings are most de trimental te the interests of the man's best friend the deg. Such winnings are sub sequently foisted upon the public as ad vertisements te assist in the sale of these dogs by their unprincipled owners. The purchaser Amis himself beaten, and hence forth classes all breeders and their prize winners as a delusion and a snare. The honest breeder Millers by the lgnorauce of thejudge; the dead-beat only can possibly gain thereby. As au illustration of the unprecedented ignorance of the judges of dogs at our late lair, their actions In the judging of the beagle class may sofve. One exhibitor, advised of the fact Unit an ignorant judge can lie greatly impressed and inllucnccd by a judicious display of advertising mat ter.had hung up before the stall of his dogs their pedigrce and diplomas of previous winnings, nicely framed. Te lucse the exhibitor shrewdly drew the attention of ene of the judges by asking: " Judge,your honor, de you pay any attention te theso T" The judges scanned the pedigrce with feol feel cmn laces, but I feel convinced that neither of thorn understood that podlgreo any mere than Greek, and then ailer looking ever the diplomas they said : "We can't go back en that, that's what we want." The two beagle bitches, te whom the podlgrce and diplomas referred, were taken put of their stal. Reth dogs were se much alike that even an expert could net have picked the better without some difficulty. It can therefore be readily Imagined in what pro pre dicameut the judges were until the ew ner of the dogs kindly assisted them by saying: "This Is , she wen 111 st before." One of the judges then said: "Yes, she lias the best color." He might as well have said "cellar" for nil the difl'orenco it would have made, nnd I don't knew but what he meant cellar Instead of color. Well, the fust and second prlze cards were given te theso dogs. Although tills happened te be all right, for tbese two dogs were the best in the class, yet think, ye levers of the deg, think of men judging dogs by pedigrees nnd previous records auu without even looking at any of the ether entries In the same class, of which thore were two ethers, ene of them a fair little deg and the ether rather a nice puppy. The latter, I am sure, was net noticed at all by the Judges, but, as the geed fertune of the ethor little deg would have it, the owner of this deg made his upncarauce just about the time the judging had been completed and seeing that his deg had net been decorated with anv prize cards he at once accosted the jixlges, Informing them that his was the 'ivt deg and that iie demanded first ptize. 'At last they attempted te adjust the mat te, by giving the second prize te the new aspiraut and taking it from the bitch te whom it was first given, In ether words, they attempted te wedge the newasplraut between the first winner and its mate and w lilch, by the way, ure net separated by mero than perhaps a point ; the new aspir ant en the ether hand being a number of points below cither of tliciu. The Judges thinking they had new- fixed it all richt left the bulldlui; lu which the dogs were shown and headed for the com cem com mlttee room, I supposed, te submit their glorious work te that august body, but the two exhibitors, who by the way figured conspicuously in a recent assault and bat tery bcrapo.fellowodtho worthy jiidgcsinte the comuiUtee room .still kicking for what each of them considered their just dues. The Kicking was continued before the managers; then the two exhibitors were re quested te preduce the pedigrees of the clogs, net the dogs, mind you, but the ped igrees, whleh being complied with, the ex hlbiters were then asked te retlre and that august body of judges and managers finally adjusted the matter by giving the new as pirant an equal first prize, using as a crite rion the pedigrees of the dogs, net the dogs themselves, and as the podigiee of the new aspirant seemingly puzzled them most, they caiiiO te the conclusion that he must have a first prize tee. Te still better illustrate the Inefficiency of the Judges, let me repeat a dw remarks which passed between one of the judges, Mr. - -, and a disinterested outsider. The outsider asked Mr. : ' Have you separate classes for dogs and bitches, or da they coiueiwte together" ? Mr. answered : " All go In ene cltus, but Sl)c I an cast c f allBapg 12.-EIGHT PAGES. If there are any dogs we give the prizes te them, as they are generally the beet. " O, tempera .' O mores " A little knowledge is a dangerous thing," Ac. He probably had beard of some deg beating a bitch and took It for granted that it must be se In all cases. Well, this will suffice. I de net desire te take Mr. te task. I think he did the best be could and would probably have dene better, bad he net been handicapped by the baleful Ignorance of Um ether two judges, Iteth excellent specimens of that class of farmers' me graphically described In " A Teacher's Experience, " new run ning In your paper and which every Lan caster ceuntlan should read and benefit, thereby. Tbe management is te blame in this mat ter for appointing men of no dxperlonce as Judges; the Judges themselves are still mero te blame for accepting such appoint ments, for which they are entirely un fitted. The exhibitor who will enter his dogs at any show where he is net assured of having bis dogs handled by a capabie Judge, deserves no sympathy whatever. Spectateii. TIIK HOPE WAS CUT. The Dastardly Act Committed at Hol Hel gart's Lauding On Friday Night. Since the destruction of the bridge at Relgart's Landing, a heavy repe was stretched across the Conestoga creek, and by means of this rope a large flat Is ferried from ene stde of the creek te the ether. This beat is used principally by Fred. Sheaffer, who owns a property en the opposite side of the creek and who brings his pro duce te the Lancaster markets. At an early hour this morning when about cross ing the stream with a lead of marketing he discovered that the repe had been cut, leaving but ene fibre. The least pressure en the repe would have tern it apart and if that would havev occurred whlle crossing the stream, there would have been no con trol of the beat and with the high water, from the recent rains, the probability is thore might have been a life lest. Mr. Sheaffer has no idea as te who per petrated the dastardly act. He will use every effort te ascertain who the guilty party Is and prosecute him te the full., ex tent of the law. BEFORE TUB MAYOR. Jimmy Qulnn, the Prey of the Cen- stables, Looked Up. There were two custemers before the mayor for drunkenness this morning, one of theso was Jimmy Qulnn, the old tinier. He received his pension yesterday and at ouce went en a sprce. Jimmy is usually arrested by the constables, who seem te knew vthouever he Is at liberty and seme of them fellow htm around like buzzards after a can ion, until they consider him (hunk enough te take in. Last night Offi cer Slegler fooled two of these vigilant men by capturing Jimmy, w he was stumb ling about the streets, Just as they were about te peunce down upon him. Jimmy had $9 en his person this morning and of ef of ferod te pay his costs, but the mayor gave him 20 days. Henry Dnmincll was arrested in the Ninth want between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning whlle he and another, man were bitting in an alley with a keg of beer. Tite officer took him te the station heuse at the request of ills wife. This morning she came te the station house and, woman like, said that she did net want her husband looked up. She said, howevcr, that they had a family of little children and instead of supporting them Henry spent his money for rum. The accused was very much un concerned about the matter and inclined te be impudent. The mayor bent him below for future attention. Twe bums were discharged. Grand Army Day at Manhelm. The annual reunion of the Grand Army pests of the county will be held at Man helm en Tuesday next, and from present Indications there w ill be a large turnout of veterans. The local committee ofManbeim is being assisted by a committee of the prominent citizens of that borough and everything pessible lias been dene for the comfort of theso whotake part in the oxor exor oxer cises.

Jehn Gorden, In the employ of the Lake Geerge Paper and Pulp company, at Tieonderoga, New Yerk, fell asleep near the machinery en Friday. Twe fellow workmen, it is said, in a Jeke planned te scare him. They tied a repe about his feet und threw it evor a shaft makingl25 revo lutions a minute. They could net cut the repe in tlnie and Gorden was killed, the body being horribly mutilated. One of the perpetrators of the jeke iebt his reason from the shock. Dr. David 8. Gloiilnger. Dr. David S. Glenlnger, a well known obstetrical surgeon, of Philadelphia, died en Friday at his residence. He was born Gl years age in Lebanon county, where his father, Jehn W, Glenlugcr, M.

Sprained Her Arm. Laura, a three-year-old daughter of Jacob Eekman, of Seuth Queen street, was play ing in a Meed box with a five-year-old brother yesterday. The boy accidentally pulled the little girl off the box and she fell, injuring her arm very sovercly. At first it was belleved that her arm was dis located, but Dr. Klnard examined it and found that it was badly sprained. The Knights Heme Again.

IANCASTER, AN EXCITING SCENE. MeST BELIGRTFl'L NATAL BEMMTRA TI6.1 OX FRliAT NIGHT. The Spirited Attack Upen Fert Me- Henry Great Gnns In Operation. Beauties el a Sham Battte. The celebration of the defense or Fert Mclienry en Friday night at Baltimore was watched by 100,000 people, and was a brilliant success in spite of ugly weather and several downpours of rain. The Chicago, the Ponsncela, the Ossipee, the Yantlc aed the monitor Passaic anchored across the river with thelr pert guns bear ing en Fert Mclienry, and cleared for action. Jack entered into the spirit of the thing with zest, and hugely enjoyed the Joke of dropping h's and and feignliig the rt of a British tar. The 600 warriors en the hostlle floet were silenced by a gar rison that numbered but 110 men. Te scare the invading host and niake victory the mere victorious, Mr. William Bend had five barges moored In front of the fort leaded, with mere fireworks than the British weunded wero expected te see after the fort guns had sent them te Davy Jenes' locker. Tbcre wero 300 bombs, 3,000 rockets, 600 dynamtte rockets and 100 torpedo beats. The cheering of the people ashore aweke the courage of the brave little garrison and when a baud struck up "Where did you get that hat?" everybody was ripe for bleed and carnage. The cheering sounds of "Held the Fert," with Its premise of reinforcements, was the next thing and then a low growl ing " boom " broke from a distant man-of-war like a death-knell and a rocket .rising high In the air, burst and spat spitefully In tbe distance. At that moment a sound, besides which thunder would have been as a knuckle-rap en a starch box, broke from the mouth of a fifteen-inch caution, In the demilune of the fort. Twe Redmans followed in quick succession and announ ced that America had thrce men en bases, with no hands out. The first shot took Just thirty pounds of powder, and it woke up ovcrybedy en Locust Point. Answering fires from the vessolsenly nerved the little garrison te greater fury, and broadside alter broadside gilded up the lowering heavens with a lurid emblaz onment. The ground trembled as If in the threes of terrestrial cholera merbus. It was a terrible scene. The fire from the invaders thickened and the fort guns blazed back at them, sending among tbe' Rritishcrs with awful effect great solid chunks of smoke andnolse, while, the dazzling whlte fiame leaped fifty feet from each Iren threat and dropped a myriad of scintillating sparks into the Patapsco. Prof. Bend, who had mcauwhlle been pouring rockets worth seven dollars and fifty rents a dozen Inte the air. began te change his tactics as affairs took ou a so se so rleus aspect. The country had te be saved at any oxpeiiso,sobo changed oil' te bombs, every one of which was worth fully fifteen miliars. Then a chauce was noticeable unen the face of war. Thrce guns had been disa bled. One was ene of the flftccn-itich smooth-bores, and the ethers wero two Redman guns. The Redmans were leaded, but tbe charges refused absolutely te be fired out. The infrequent recurronce of the heavy boom und bright flashes down the horizon told cither that the enemy were feellng defeat or that they were up te some of their perfidious tricks. A warning came that a flotilla was com ing up the Patapsco, hoping te land en the south elde or the fort. Vain hope 1 With redoubled onergy the siege and field pieces blazed outawelcemo that showed none but Americans wero put en guard. Gunner O'Shaughnessy bit off a chew of tobacco from Sergcant McGrath's plug, rammed home eharge after charge into the dege rifles and swept the river front, while the Hetchklss gun cracked away merrily. Tbe deed was done. Baltimore was saved ! At this point the rain came down lu a driving shower as a wlcked shot of the enemy penetrated a dynamite uiagazlne placed upon the water battery by the pro fessor of pyrotechnics for "Hint purimse. High into the air blew tiie magazine, carrying sticks and sods that went up te represent American arms and legs, and that was au end te the foeman's damage. The magazine was surrounded with a tem porary beard .fence which took Hre and burned with a bright blaze. It produced rather an unlooked-for alter effect, as it looked strikingly like it hog pen fire. At the elose of the sicge a mass of red-tire at tbe base of the flugstaff lit up the old banner with a roseato hale of glory and hundreds of recketsand bombs illuminated the heavens for miles around, while cheers from the thousands of poeplo mound the shores cchoed and re-ochecu. The Third Artillery band was en the rampart, and breke Inte "Star-Spangled Banner," "The Red, Wliite' nnd IJIue" und "Maryland, My Maryland." The battle being ever and the Hag still being thore. at 0:30 o'clock the bugle call was sounded te cease firing. A NEW STOCK COMPANY. Organized Fer the MBiiuructureerCundy uud Confectionery.

Meetlngorthe Democratic Colored State 1-eagne An Address Issued, A meeting of the executive committee of the Democratic Colored State League was held In Harrlsburg en Friday. In the eveulnc the following address was pre pared and will be sent out te the colored voters : "We, the executive commltteo of the Democratic Colored State League,ln session assembled, de present tbe following facts for the consideration of the thinking col ored men of the state of Peunsvlvaniat Yeu will seen be called upou'te cast your ballet for a representative of the people te fill the exalted po sition of state treasurer. The nom inees of the two great parties will appeal te you, as well as te while citizens, for your suffrage, and we believe that tiie time Is new come when we, like all ether races, should leek at and regard the principles of the parties, rattier than the men whom the party bosses favor with thelr smile. We have been faithful te the Republican party slnce our right of francblse almost te a man, and liave never been ac corded the recognition due us as faithful and loyal partisans. We have been hoodwinked cajoled, feted with pro pre pro mlses, and have seen ethers reap the rewnrd of our labors, when the heat of the carupalgu was ever. A foreigner entering our Legislative halls, aud Judging from the representatives of the poeplo assembled, would never knew that Pennsylvania con tained upwards of 100,000 negroe?. whose loyalty te the party was undeniable. The intelligence ofthese negrees Is beginning te assert itself and n restless feeliug Is broadcast that demands the recognition due them, and many have ovidenccd their dis pleasure by eiicnly renouncing the party, which has bluntly pesed quadrenulnltv as the negre's friend, and have resolved te support only the paitv that will give them proer anil due recognition. The doers of the work shops, mills, factorles and manufacturing industries, ewned and controlled chlelly by Republicans in the state or Pennsyl vania, have been tightly barred against us and our children, and yet thrown epen te a class or foreigners who nover loam our customs, adept our manners, nor become citizens or the country. We, therefore, call your attention te the Mxth plnnk In the platlerm of the Democratic party of the state of Pennsylvania, adopted September Rh, 1880, which says : ' We held the Re publican party responsible for the failure te pass any law for the roller orthe manual laborers or the state or Pennsylvania, and we recommend the enactment of such law s as will give equal protection and equal e- iniiiuiuui-n, hi every nnincn ei ministry, all cltlzens, Independent of nice, religion or nativity. We regard this plank, emanat ing from the Democratic iwrty, as being well worthy of our support, ana we apiieiil te you as men te consider and sustain It with and by your votes. We would also call your attention te the principles of the Democratic party rolative te the question, which are in favor or tariff reform. We aie In favor of a reform that will lodiice the exlstlng high rate of tariff en the necessaries or life. The present tar 111' rates tend te lmioverisli the peer, whilst they make the rich lich indeed. We are tile consumers, honce pay the tarltr, and yet are debarred from the avorage field of labor, and we censider It an Insult te our citizenship for any party te ask us te support a measure favorable te a class who Ignore and deny us our Hod Hed Hod glven right and prlviloge te earn our bread by the sweat or our brew. We deplore the condition of our poeplo in the Seuth, and counsel them te amelierate thelr euuse by allying themselves with the people of thefr section of the country, with whom their Interests should be identical, rather than stir up strife by adherlng te the Repub lican paity, which is either unwilling or unable te glve them the protection guaran teed by constitutional enactment te all citizens. This view should be apparent te every intelligent and thinking man or our race. for during President Cleveland's ad ministration the condition or our poeplo in the Seuth was far better than it is te-day and it Is new time that our poeplo should cease te be deluded by the seductive prom prem ises of aid from the Republican party in the North, and take the condition or ullulrs In their own hands. Ceabe te be dead martyrs, and beceme living exponents efa truly now new now Seuth. We trust that you will leek at theso facts coolly and impartially, and determine from the systematic bad faith en the part of the Republican party, and bhew te them that we no longer will be bowers of weed and drawers of water. We are net olllco elllco olllce seckers, but view the situation trout a prac tical standein We therefore upjieal te you, the colored voters of this slate, in the coming campaign, te conslder, te think and te net according te your henest con viction. De net allow veur votes te be governed by an established precedent. De net vote merely for sentiment, as Is sometimes termed gratitude, but cast veur ballet with a view te the best IntoreNls of your race.

After taking leave of the president the visitors were shown evor the Whlte Heuso, and upon its being explained te Sir Edwin tint various projects were mooted for the enlargement or conversion or the executl ve mansion he expressed a wish that the struc ture might be lea ktbstaullally untouched, that the building, whlle net ancient lu the European sense, was full of historic interest te the American poeplo. It should be eherished and preserved se long as time pmmltted that our cople might leek upon the very scenes and surroundings amid which President Jacksen had dene such bold work for the fedora! union, and Presi dent Lincoln had pondered upon nnd exe cuted the Immortal proclamation of eman cipation.' lie feared that a, peeple se young and ardent us the Americans might under value the historical monuments associated with their early years Mint their posterity, II permU(cd,will lield priceless. Upen being shown the court room of the supreme court, Sir Kdwlu said : " Here Is the cen tra of the American political system. Without your supreme court, with Its enormous pewer and its Independent Ju diciary, the foderal Union would be dostl destl dostl tttteof that mishitting base which Is In In In disponsable te Its existence." He said In the ceurse of a conversation : I will go te Philadelphia for thoexpioss purpese of taking by the hand that grand old peet of yours, Walt Whitman. Noth ing is mere musical, graceful' and charm ing than that ede te death beginning, "Come,levcIy and seething death." I have myself translated It Inte many Eureieuu and Aslalle tongues. I knew that his work is sonietlmcs wild and lawless, but theso are the sun siiets which cannot hide the dlvine light and fervor. Longfellow, in my opinion, is your greatest ioet. Pee, tee, is great, very grout, IKjsslbly as great as Longfellow, but I can not compare them any mera than I could compare Tennyson and Browning, the greatest of contemporary English poets. "I cannot conceive why Browning should be thought obscure, orthe need the Inter vention of se-called Browning societies te interpret him. With me poetry lsurocro lsurecro lsurocre ution the most fruitful of recreations; the uoblestand highest of iiitellectural refresh ment. Yeu Americans should vulue poetry highly and cultivate it lovingly, for nothing could be a better safeguard against the lncrecplug of serdidness te your Indus trious mill feverish llves. Personally feel honored by the se- called pirating of my own literary work, Poetry . l uecmt tee high und noble a product te be the subject of gain, but writers of prese must live by ineir pens and America can utterit te be honest with such henest tollers. Ciiunge of Positions, When the " Guilty Without Crlme" company of Dore Davidsen und Rumle Austen was here last week their treasurer went ou a big drunk and" was discharged.
