IX IIEIEI. Director MeCemsey's BulesrlBm of the Dead The Beard, Teachers and Pnptls Attend the Funeral Services. The Lancaster city school beard met specially en Saturday evening with the following member present: Meters. Bran ernan, BrintenK Grlest, Hegener, Llehty, Llppeld, Marshall, McConisey, MeKUIgett, McKllllps, Rsthfon.Schreyer, Shirk, War fel, White Wlckersbam and Dr. McCorm McCerm Ick, president. The secretary read the rail for the moot meet Ins; signed by Messrs. McCemsev, Brene inan, Marshall, Driest and Brown, te take action en the death of Dr. Hlgbee. President McCermbk.in announcing the object, said : "As will be seen by tbe notleo Just read by the. secretary, the meeting Is bold for the purpese of taking action upon the death of one of the most prominent ed ucators the country. Rev. Dr. Hlgbee, state superintendent of public Instruction, whose efficient administration of that office during the past eight years baa done se much te advance the common school lnterests of this state." MR. M'COMSF.Y'S RKKAHRH. Mr. McCemsny said : "This beard soems tohave been peculiarly fertunate In the selection of teachers for our boys' high school. At least three of thorn all new dead achieved success and became distin guished In thelr chosen lines of effort. One was Cel. Kerrey Centes, who died a few years n go,-eno of the most distinguished and wealthy citizens of Kansas City, Me., and was largely Instrumental in laying the foundation of tbe future and prosperity of that city. Anethor was the late Itev. Jehn 8. Crumbaugh, loved and honored by all who knew him for his many virtues and nobility of character. And the last and greatest of tbem all was the one whose death we new mourn Rev. Docter Hlgbee. The death of Dr. Hlgboe came semewhat like n thunderbolt from a cloudless sky. Sudden, unexpected and startling, causing net only surprise but widespread sorrow nnd deep rogret as well. Ever diligent and faithful In the per formance of duty, without a moment's warning he fell by the wayside with his armor en. Always able, elequent and earnest, always entertaining and Instruc tive, olten bnve I listened with pleasure and profit te his manly and elegant voice while addressing our own schools, and en the platform lu our teuchers' Institutes, as well as when preachlng the gospel from the pulpit in his own peculiar, lmprewlve and eloquent manner. In educational affairs, from tbe public schools up te the highest institutions of learning. Dr. Hlgbee was recegnized and honored throughout the land us a leader. In theology, science and lltorature he was looked up te as a bright and shining light. When such a man as he dies, when such nn intellect ns his perishes, It is In deed a great publle less. iu view of the fact that Dr. Hlgbee was once a teacher of great ubil ity In the employ of this beard, and a distinguished citizen of our city, us well as the honerod head of tbe educational denartmenl of the lnle It seeins eminently right and proper that soma suttnble action should be taken en his deiith. Mr. McCemsey then moved the appointment of a commitlee of five, of whom Dr. Wlckersbam should be chair man, te prepare resolutions oxpresslvo of the sonse of the beard at the death of Itev, Dr. Illgbee. Tbe motion was adopted and the chair appointed Messrs. Wlckersham, McCom McCem McCom sey, Wnrftil, Hegcner and Marshall as the committee. Tiiecoimnltteorotlrodand propared the following ; TKlnUTE TO TltE MEMORY OF PH. HIOHKH. Dr. E. E. Iligboe was at one time a teacher iu our publle schools. Trier te Ills death be for neveral years resided In our town, taking in active part in its social, educational and llterary circles, and in the dlscharge of the duties of the otlice of superintendent of public Instruction he bad en various occasions signally favored this community ; therefore, it seems titling that this beard should Jein in an oxpressiou of sorrow en account of his death and plnce en record a proper trlbute te bis memory. This beard honored Dr. Iligboe as a scholar. His learning was geuerul and profound. He was equally well versed In the departments of language, mathematics, philosophy, literature, art and theology, ills mind was net only capable of ranging ever a great surface but of penetrating deep beneath the surface. We honerod him also as an instructor of youth. Nearly forty years age, he taught In our high school, and bis thorough knowledge of the subjects of instruction, bis happy methods of teaching and his genial manners In the school room are still remembered among us. , As superintendent of public Instruction for the past eight yfars, this beard has ap preciated the ability and faithfulness with which be discharged the duties of his high trust, and in common with the school authorities of the wiiole commonwealth is gl.id te bear trlbute te bis wll-meant and xetf-exhaustlng labors in behalf of the t-uuse of popular education. We knew and honored Dr. Hlgbee as a man, ns a neighbor and as a citizen. He was a gentleman, tt patriot and a Christian . His lile was pure and his character spot less. He has left here and everywhere throughout the state hosts of devoted friends; among these who knew him well iie could have no enemles. As a mark of ro re ro spet'l we eiler tills tribute te his inomery And rc-olve te attend bis funeral in a body, mid we also respectfully prosent the fol lowing resolution : JleseleeJ, That all the schools of the city under the control of this beard be closed en Monday from 11a. in., te 2 p. m., te afford (e:cliers and pupils an opportunity of attending the funeral. The repert of the commltleo was adopted, and en motion of Mr. Hegoner It was de cided te meet at 11 o'clock te attend the funeral, the funeral or dr. uieuek.

Apple, who took for hlsj toil, second Corinthians, .5th chapter and 1st verse: " Fer we knew that If our earthly louse of this tabemaeln were dis solved, we have a building of Ged, a house net mode with hands, eternal In the heavens." His tbeme was the hope of im mortality, after which he paid an eloquent tribute te the inomery of Dr. Hlgbee, and in conclusion quoted tbe weidi of Gov. iiesvei'4 proclamation announcing his death, which he said fully showed the estl estl rmatlen lu which be- was held by the grest commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

A Malno Man ltatses the Most Potatoes Frem An Aere, The American AgrtculturUt tot January will announce the remit of the contests for 910,000 In prizes offered by that journal. Thore were four prizes of $500 In geld for tbe largest yields of wheat, eats, corn and potatoes en one exact acre. Ample pro pre vision was made for securing honesty throughout the contest, areas and yields being oerofUlly supervised by sworn wit nesses. Thelr certificates accompanied the official book for reports, In which contest ants recerded every detail of culture The potato competition was participated In by thousands, but potato blight swept tbe whele country at the height of tbe growing season, reducing the yield from one-half te feur-ilfths. In spite of this unavoidable disaster, a large number of cemplete rexrts have been submitted. The American Agrieulturitt has completed the award, with the following result: Grana prize, $500 In geld, te Charles B. Cey, Aroostook county, Maine, for a yield of 733J bushels of Dakota Red potatoes en a fraction under one acre, dressed with ene ten of Stockbrldge potato manure, seed cut te two eyes and dropped in bills lx2j feet, en clay-loam land ter six years previous lu grass and without manure of, any kind. The principal ether prizes were given as ioiiews: z, wi Aiirea nose, laies county, N. Y., 070 bushels of Early Peruvian, Sun lit Star and Early Ontario, cut te two eves, planted 9x18 Inches en sand v loam enriched with a ten of Mspes potato manure ; 3, Fred 5. Wlggln.

The average crop of the prlze winners was 500 bushels, and of the first ene hun dred contestants was 301 bushels per acre, while thoaveragecropof the whele country was only 70 buchels. This shows hew geed farming pays. The contest also settles what has heretofore been In controversy, that high grade complete potato fertilizers are better and mere profitable for this crop than stable manure. Casper Hitler, of Cenes toga, Lancaster county, Pa., was 36th in the contest. Here Is his return : Land, gravelly loam ; for tillzer, Stockbrldge; hills, 1x2 6-0; cut te two eyes; varieties, Crown, Jewell, Uur Uur Uur poe's Superior, Em pi re State, Great East East ern, Whlte Elephant, Dictator, O.

The complaint sets forth that the defendants are destroying the plaintiff's busiuess by direct cresses of wires and by leakage and induction. A score of affida vits set forth the interruption of telephone service, burning out or Instruments and Injuries te empleyes and citizens. Aside from the question of safety the matter ex cites great Interest, for In all the larger towns of the state overhead eloctrle lines exist or are prelected. It Is of particular Importance te Milwaukee, wbere. despite strenuous opposition en tbe part of the press and people, franchises have been granted for the building of four overhead wire lines, two of which will be lu opera tien about Jan. 1. In the business part of Milwaujcee telephene wires are going rapidly underground. All electrlc reads built or projected In this state use the earth as a return circuit, hence their dangerous character. A Child's Funeral.

The local Institute which was held here in tbe Lutheran church en the 13th and lllh was a success in every particular, In spite of the In In clemcnt weather en Saturday. Thelocture en Friday evening en "The Story of the Heavens," by G. Merris Phillips, Ph. D., was very instructive. Mr. Phillips is a pleasant speaker and kept the closest nttontlen of his audience. The da j' sessions en Saturday wero well attended and the teachers, by thelr partici pation in the oxercTfV, shewed that they are Interested In their work. A nu mber of teachers outslde of the Kphrata district were in attendance and Joined In tbe dis cussion. Taking into consideration the dlsagreoable weather, the funeral or Miss Anne Eshleman. and the snd news or Dr. Ulgbee's death, the Institute was In spirit of discussion, In attendance, and financially ene of the best evor held here. The chairman, F. S. Kllnger, received a dispatch en Friday evening from Supt. M.i J. Brecbt "Te postpeno the Institute or held a memorial session and ndjeu rn." At the time, hewever, that tbe teleirram reached Mr. Kllnger, tbe penple wero fast coming te church, and the Friday evening lecture could net well be postponed.

Mr. Hcnsel handled tbe subject lu his usual eloquent manner. Bosten's Fiery Network. Frem the New Yerk World. Thore are two olectrio street rallieads in Bosten running through seme of the busi est streets in the city. One of them gees te Broekllno aud the ether through Cam bridge te Auburn aud Arlington. They are operated en what Is known as the over ever bead system ; that Is, by trellys running In touch with wires strung only a few feet above the car. The wlres carry a veltage of 500, which is net conslderod very high, and is net high when It Is compared with the power conveyed by tbe alternating electric light currents. Yet this pewer Is dangerous. If It Is net capable or killing a strong, healthy man, It is sufficient te kill weaker persons and te knock down almost any ene. Drivers of trucks are frequently brought Inte contact with the wires and recently there have been soveral men thrown from thelr vehicles by eloctrle shock. Last summer a contract was made which contemnlates transforming all the street railroads of Bosten Inte olectrio leads. The city will thus have a network of low banging and tensely strung olectrlc wlres. Many serious acoidents and some deaths will inevitably result from this lmiuouse and complicated overhoad system. it scorns strange In this day, when ttie uulversul feeling is se strongly in favor of burying the wires, that Bosten should be enormously Increasing the number of dls-astor-breediug Instrumentalities, and es pecially in view of its recent disastrous fire, which was caused by the escape of electricity. Popular opinion in New Yerk is tee strong te permit ibis Increase of over head wires In our streets, and doubtless It will be greatly strengthened by the oxori exori oxeri enco which is about tube intlicted upon Bosten. An Uprising at Buhla. The steamship Herrux arrived at New Yerk en Sunday. She left Rie Jaulere en November 23. Although everythlng ap peared quiet at Rie, Capt.

On the second day of the revo lution a cipher dispatch was received at Rie Janlnre announcing that there had been an uprising at Ilahla aud that a fight had taken place between tbe militia and citizens and that nearly 500 peonle had been killed.

It Is said that he was effered at that time n salary of $50,000 a year te beceme counsel for a leading railroad outslde the state. In 1809 he was chosen president of the Reading and filled the ofllce until 1881, when en accennt of opposition te bis plans he failed of a ro-electioti. lie wus again chesen te tbe ofllce of presldent iu 1682. In 1872 Mr. Gewon wus olected u member of the state constitutional conven tion and in this body ranked as ene of Its Ablest members. Mr. Gewcu concelvod and established the Philadelphia Ceal it Iren company. JIe also conceived and put In operation the movement against the famous oiganizatlen known us the " Mollie Magulres," which had preduced a reign of terror lu the coal region, extending ever a rer'eJ ertwenty years. Inthetriulswblch followed this movement Mr. Gewon was ene of the counsel for the commonwealth. He called te bis aid the l'liikorteu dotoc detoc dotec tlvo agency, secured the services of Themas Mcl'arlan, a detectlve, who for nearly three years ute, slept, worked and associated with the members of the associa tion, until be bad secured sufficient evi dence te bung 22 of the guug, nnd send many ethers te the penttentlury for various periods. It was net until McParlan had been assigned te commit a murder, and bad beceme a " bodymaster" und attended a meeting of the Inside ring of the " Melly Magulres" that the prosecutions begun. Mr. Gewen displayed romurkuble cour age during the trials, using the most bitter lanjuageln referring te the organization, with the court filled with Us members, whose lowering countenances seemed te have no effect en his bursts or indignation. Froquently he would turn bis back en Judge and Jury, and. shaking his ilnger at the audience, burl threats aud Invective at the sympathizers of the prlsoners until they seemed te cewer before bis ringing volce and fierce denunciation. At ene of the early trials during bis final appeal te the Jury he suddenly turned uiKin tbe audience and said : "Te-day I give you notice that there Is no part or this country that is net as safe as the aisle In which Island here new.

"Then," said Mr. Miller, "Mr. Gewon must have bold the pistol that close ir he killed himself, and if he did then his hair must be scorched. Unless thore are seme traces of powder marks about the wound I can net bollevo he committed sulcide. "The fact that thore are no algna of a siruggle lu the room would indicate that It Is suicide, yet It Is possible that an enemy or Mr. Gewon's could have stepped Inte the room, shot him, locked the deer and made his escape. It soems that no ene was en that sleeping fleer at tbe time, for no ene sppenrs te have heard the pistol shot, litis may prove te be anether great nivs nivs tery." LIIWYISR JOHNSON'S THEORY. llolleves There Must Itave Ileim Heme Tremendous Motive Yet te Come Out. Few lawyers were mere thoroughly fa miliar with Mr. Gewon's temperament. ability and all his qualities then Jehn a, Jehnsen, ene or the foreiuost lawyers of Philadelphia and the whele country. "Fer many years during his prcsldency of tbe company," said Mr. Jehnsen. "I was Mr. Gewon's counsel, snd saw him day after day nnd under all the ombnrraa embnrraa ombnrraa meiils and conditions that aurrounded him. Only ene month age he nnd I were oppos ing counsel In an oil land ejectment at Smethport, Pa. Thore we spent a week together, stepped At the same hotel, walked together, talked together, The only-thing that I noticed was that he seemed mero sodate s he wus net ns pugnacious as he used te be ; he wns net as apt te retort sharply, but he wns just as clear as evor In his argutnents. He appeared te me te have only the additional sodateness of four or flve yours. List spring I tried ene of tbe Intor-jtate commerco cases with him. He used te bn u m tn who would tell anecdote that would argtie hard against his epp i neut, but be didn't de anything of that kind, and koemed te me al'egetbur less combative than he used te be. " I nover observod in Mr. Gewen tbe slightest suggestion or anything llke an Insane impulse. He was oveu in tempera ment, Jovial, well-balanced. He was san guine always. This wns his nature It was no systematic assumption or geed hu mor and bopefulncss; it wns spontaneous. He must have been actuated by some midden and tremendeus motive lie must have gene out and purchased a revolver under that Influence. He was the lait man lu the world who would lese cor cer cor treloriilmsolf. Thore can be no thought that he was Insane. In the past he has bad feu tlmes as beavy burdens upon his mind as he bus had lately. He was net working bard. It wus net his Intoutleu te work hard. I could never make an ap pointment with him lata lu the uftorneou, for he was always going home. Neither physical nor mental disorder ulferds any explanation. He must have bad seme overwhelming motlve thou and there in Washington. He was even conversing lu his usual spirits with E. A. Stevcns a llttle while before the act, It appears." "If it Is assumed that he was perfectly sane, hew can we account for bis giving nut the slightest Intimation of bis motive?'7 "He whs Just tbe very man who would net give his reason," replied Mr. Jehnsen. " I never knew of a case llke this. It Is said be went out again after be went up te his room Friday afternoon. He may buve written a lotter then te some friend or ethor, which has net been made publle yet." Mr. Jehnsen's mind during the intorvlew seemed te dwell en the lielut that Mr. Gewen must have a sudden, unknown and IrresUtlble motlve te go out and buy a re vel vor and sheet himself and that be carried out that plan Just as doteruiluedly as he went about any ether plan. The supposition or insanity wus out or the question. He seemed confident that the motle would yet come te light. Air.
