SATURDAY KVKNlAQ; JUL.Y 24, 1880.
Oar UiiIm.
The members of the Democratic party
ever the country are manifesting a dis
position te unity which foretells success.
The chronic disputes in New Yerk and
Philadelphia are settled for this occasion
at least, and all differences are sacrificed
te the demand for a ltarmonieus effort te
achieve success. In Virginia, tee, the
movement for union has been started,
and no doubt it will result in securing
but one electoral ticket for the Demo
cratic candidates. There is no place in
the country where Democratic differ
ences will net be quiet before the
election if they have net already been,
and it is certain that the united vote of
the party will sustain its candidates, and
there is hardly room for doubt that it
will elect them.
It is especially gratifying te us in Penn
sylvania te note the union that has been
accomplished in Philadelphia. It has
come in spite of adverse circumstances
and without the aid of the wise men
whom the state convention appointed te
bring peace te the discordant parties,
Nothing brought it about but the imper
ative necessity for union and the magna
nimity which led te the sinking of er er
senal feelings for the iarty geed. The
organization that has been secured is one
which will bring te its greatest strength
the Democratic vote of the city. The
campaign will be conducted with vigor
and intelligence and may reasonably be
expected te result successfully. We can
aflerd te be mere than ever confident
that Pennsylvania will cheese the Deme-
ci-.itic electors. Philadelphia has been
the sorest of the siets that have hereto
fore troubled us, and with it in a healthy
condition we can feel very comfortable
ever the general result.
It is erhaps rash te expect that the
Democratic unity which will secure the
success of the party will remain te re
tain it after it is wen. And yet it only
requires ordinary wisdom en the part of
these who will be placed in power te se
cure such a result. According te the un
selfishness and fairness of the leaders
will be the measure of time that is
granted te them in power. They will
net lie given the loose feet that Republi
can leaders enjoy te fellow their own
devices. Democrats are mere jealous
and refractory that ltepublicans. They
won't stand se much kicking.
Decently treated they are very amiable,
but it won't de te abuse them. If
the Democratic statesmen of the future
are fairly endowed with political wisdom
and virtue our days may be long in
the laud that is given te us ; and other
wise the sooner we are hustled out the
better. This country was net made te
lie the prey of any set of men, nor even
of a party- The Republican party is
about te lie retired because the jieepl;
are tired of its depredations and disgust
ed with its vile practices. The evil of a
continuance of such rule drives all ele
ments of opitesition into a hearty union
against it.
It must fall, for the success of dem
ocratic government demands it. People
who say there arc no great issues in this
campaign knew net of what they speak.
Secretary Schurz is one of these who
asks why the present government should
hi disturbed just te put another set of
placemen in power. It is natural
that he should find nothing else than
this involved in the contest, for he is in
the administration and may be innocent
ly unconscious of the grave causes of
disapprobation which the people have
with it. But they feel that they have
the strongest reason te condemn the
party in iewer and te believe that
its overthrew is demanded by
he virtue of democracy. The
people have ceased te rule if a
party with such a record cap maintain
itself in ewer. It would no longer be a
democratic government. The Republi
can overthrew is compelled by the fact
of its responsibility te the eeple. It
cannot appeal te them and expect their
;ippreval. It has net deserved it. This
is the general feeling. And te add te its
weakness it has nominated candidates
who de net command public confidence.
The iteeple will overthrew it in defense
of their sovereignty, if for no ether
reason. They will show themselves
masters.
The Lecal Squabble.
It is a most delightful mess the Re
publican iiarty of this county has get it
self into, and pretty stories its members
are telling about each ether. Seme of
the communications published in our
Republican contemporaries graphically
illustrate the feelings of affection which
the leaders have for each ether and the
respect they entertain for the results
reached at their primary elections. The
Era admits that they are carnivals of
fraud, though net se long age it affected
te think that the foelkiller's club was
wanted for anybody who said se.
The situation was never mere compli
cated than at this time, since, in addi
tien te the usual bribery and fraud, there
was such treachery among the leaders of
both factions at the late primary elec
tions that the element of revenge enters
largely into the present heated feeling of
the iiarty. McMellen in order te save
his man Davis sold out Reinoehl and his
former Heg Ring allies, while Brown,
Cochran, Fridy and ethers, in their zeal
for Mylin betrayed Eberly, and if well
defined charges are true, Brown's perfidy
was almost without parallel in politics,
certainly uneqalled in all the local dis
grace and dishonesty.
New that Mylin is safely elected and
McMellen's betrayed friends have turned
in te destroy him and the obnoxious can
didate with whom he is leaded up, his
new allies show a disposition te leave
him in the lurch. Brown and Cochran
loiter at the seaside and let such hitherto
antagonistic elements as Jehnsen, Sense
nig and the JVew Era people combine te
overthrew Davis and McMellen. They
kuew the policy of dividing and conquer
ing. The old stager politicians see their
opportunity for the extermination of
this upstart Heg Ring by letting its
factions destroy each ether. They can
come in afterwards and arrange anew
combination te suit themselves. The
weakness of McMellen is that his candi
date is se vulnerable that if his party
does net get rid of him the people will.
With regard te the meiits of the contest
ever the figures of the returns the simple
truth is, as they all knew, that half the
districts are se tainted with fraud that
ten years investigation could net deter
mine certainly and satisfactorily who
was the nominee fairly.
The Republican ticket remains as
originally declared by the return judges.
The frauds of both factions are unpun
ished, and the result is that for the ad
ministrative etlice of public justice in this
county for the next three years the Re
publicans present a candidate whose jier jier
senal and professional character make
him the most conspicuously unfit mem
ber of this bar for that etlice. His oppo
nents threaten that long liefere the elec
tion they will have him disbarred.
Judgk Patterson's drunken and
disorderly friends haviug kept their

always been known as a jersey. It covers
his arms and the upper part of his body
down te the hips, and is in all respects
mere convenient, mere serviceable and
mere neat than the loose woolen shirt

THK DETROIT DISAOTER.
The Collision Dae Careless ucis.
Regarding the sinking of the steam
yacht Mamie at Detroit, with a church ex
cursion party eh it, by the Garland, report
ed by telegraph yesterday Father Blyen
burg stated that just prier te the collision
most of the boys were in the cabin. He
was sitting with the elder members of the
party, and they noticed the steamer com
ing down the liver. The Garland and the
Fortune, another steamer, seemed te him
net very far apart and coming verv rapidly.
" I de net knew," he said : "I hardly
dare assert it, and yet it seemed te me."
And the father made a significant pause,
as though he thought they were racing.
He went en te say that he did net dream
of a collision ; in fact, had just said te
Miss Dusscau, who was sitting beside him,
that it was a picturesque and exhilarating
sight te see a steamer plow through the
water en such a bright moonlight night,
when he saw the Garland suddenly loom
up larger, and instautly divined with
honor that a collision was imminent.
The Mamie whistled, and seen after
the Garland replied, but bere down
directly en the fragile yacht, crush
ing it as if it had been an egg-shell, fairly
cutting it in two amidships. At the moment
he saw that a collision was unavoidable he
shouted te his friends and the children te
come te the front, and some of them did
se. Jliss Dcsscau followed him and at the
same time he felt the beat give way be
neath him, and caught held or a rope en
the Garland; Tha young lady did the
same. Somebody en beard the steamer
pulled her aboard and he climbed the rope
he had held of unaided.
The four boys who were saved crawled
out of the cabin window of the yacht and
threw themselves in the water. They
were picked up by the lifeboat of the Gar
laud, which was immediately lowered, but
some who might have been saved were, he
fears, drowned by the swell or run down
by the Fortune which ploughed along
very seen after. This was net the
fault of the Fortune, as they seemed
te suppose that the Garland peo
ple, who hailed them in alarm aud
anxiety, were cheering them. The father
did net knew hew the accident could have
occurred at all, as it was such a brilliant
moonlight night that the smallest object
could be discerned at a great distance. In
addition te the names or the lest already
sent it has bean ascertained that another
boy, named Jehn Grensel, was drowned.
Search fails te find the wreck of the
sunken yacht. Ne bodies have yet been
recovered. An investigation has been or
dered by the local beanl of steamboat in
spectors. Story of a Passenger.
A passenger en the Garland says : " The
moon was shining clearly, and it was
amest as light as day. I saw the Mamie
coining long before we met. The two
steamers caine closer and closer until we
began te get uneasy. The Mamie gave
one short, shrill whistle which was an
swercd a few seconds later by the Garland
by a similar signal. Then I heard the
bell ring te step the Garland's engines.
The Mamie kept straight ahead, until she
appeared te be only fifty or sixty feet
away, when I heard some "one en beard of"
her shout " Hard -a pert," and then, instead
of passing by en our starboard side, the
Mamie suddenly swerved directly across out
bow. There was a terrible crunchiug,
grinding sound as the bow or the Garland
struck the Mamie just back of the wheel
house and rode right ever her amidships.
In a second the wreck was half obscured.
Her bow was pressed down under the
water and her stern tilted up above the
surface. We threw life-preservers, tables,
chairs and everything we could overboard
te the people of the Mamie. Their cries
were awful. Seme of them must have
been crushed or killed by the Garland's
bow. The ethers gathered en the stern
of the Mamie after the Garland had
swung clear of her and screamed piteously
for help.
The excitement en the Garland was
greatly increased by some one shouting she
had burst her boiler and was sinking.
Ladies fainted, and there was a rush for
the lower deck which was only prevented
by the utmost exertions of the committee
in charge of the excursion. The life-beat
rigging was net in order, and it took a
long while te launch the beat. By this
time the Mamie suddenly sank. There
was one last shout of ageuy, and all was
quiet. A long search for survivors was
made iu vain."

There is no likelihood that the desperate
conspiracy te get control of the beard of
return judges, by buying them by the head
at the price Scnsenig has put en them,
will succeed ; but he, Jehnsen, Martin and
peer, duped Adam Eberly, might as well
knew that, though they have plotted
together iu darkness and en the Sabbath,
the very particulars of their foul conspir
acy are in the hands of responsible
parties, and as surely as the conspirators
live they will answer in the court of
quarter sessions of the county for their
infamy. That Themas J. Davis received
an honest plurality of the votes for district
attorney at the last primarv election no
one can pretend te deny, and in this effort
te cheat lum out of his nomination under
the cry of fraud, even Jehnsen, of natural
ization fame, exceeds himself. All charges
of corruption aud dishonesty in our local
politics heretofore made dwindle into utter
insignificance beside the magnitude of this
desperate plot, of which the pet reformer,
Martin is one of the chief conspirators.
It is high time that the mask of reform
was tern from him and his true character
understood.
But what would the success of the con
spiracy avail peer Adam Eberly ? Docs he
uotknew that Senscnig has told hundreds
of people that Adam eave him 81.000 in
cash and a note for $1,500 for his support?
Dees he net knew that Sensenig says new
that Adam will spend all the money neces
sary te buy up the beard of return judges?
If these conspirators should succeed, the
uiK mat would record Adam's oath of
office would net be dry before he would be

by a constable. The tramp cannot be
identified, but is supposed te have been a
maniac.
Mr. Albert McGlinn, of this city, who
works in the barber shop of Geerge Boeh Beeh
ringer under the Cadwell house, having a
brother by the name of Jehn McGlinn
somewhere in the far West, feared that
this statement might have reference te
him and wrote te Byers, iuquiringcon iuquiringcen
ccruing the identity of the man who was
killed. He has received the following
reply :
Byers, Cel., July 19, 1880. A. McGlinn
Dear Sir. Yours of the 12th inst. te
hand. The man stabbed here was Jehn Mc
Glinn, a very dark cemplected heavy set,
muscular man ; have known him for three
years, I never inquired particularly of him
as te where he lived, but always under
stood he was from Pennsylvania, and had
been a railroad man there, and have since
learned he hail a brother a barber in
Pennsylvania, and a wife and child in Illi
nois. He was taken te Denvei from here and
died next night, without, as far as heard,
leaving any message. Yours,
R. B. Suryeck.
This letter fully confirms his belief that
the man killed was Jehn McGlinn, former
ly of this city, and later a resident of
Columbia and employee en the Pennsylva
nia railroad. Besides Albert, he has a
brother Wm. McGlinn, cabinet maker at
Widmycr & Ricksecker's and ether rela
tives in this city, though having drifted
westward some years age, he is net se
well known here as ether members of his
family.
A LOT OF POULTRY FOUND.
It Is Supposed te Have been Stelen Alleged
Thieves Arrested.
This morning shortly after 5 o'clock
nineteen chickens and a can of lard which
are supposed teshave been stolen, were
found in the stable of Herman Ehrhart en
North Christian street, above Frederick,
Ehrhart and James Murvine have been ar
rested and are new locked up. Last
night at 12 o'clock Ehrharts team
was seen leaving the city in charge
of James Murvine. This morning about
5 o'clock Officers Lcutz and Adams and
Private Watchman Shuebroeks were
standing at the corner of Christian and
James streets when the team drove up the
alley. Officer Lcntz followed the team,
and upon arriving at the stable he found
Ehrhart waiting for Murvine. The goods
which were in the wagon were taken
possession of by the officers, and after
wards Murvine and Ehrhart were arrested
by Officers Lcntz, Flick and Adams.
Any parties who lest poultry during last
night should call en Alderman McConemy,
where these which were found can be seen.
Twelve of the chickens are old, but the re
maining ones are young, but grown. The
lard can is painted blue, and will probably
held 80 or 90 pounds, but 10 pounds had
been taken out. A light horse blanket
was also found in the wagon.
Tearing Down a Fence.
The Marietta Times says : When Gen.
Cameren took possession of his farm at
Denegal he put up a fence en the lines
given him by Surveyor Eby. of Elizabeth
town, and se it remained until a short
time age, when the trustees of Denegal
church notified the general that it en
croached en their line. The general sent
for Squire Eby and he again surveyed it
and reported te the general that it was en
his line. Last week in the absence of
Gen. Cameren at White Sulphur springs
Messrs. H. II. Wiley and J. W. Jehnsen
representing the church, took a force of
men te the place and tore the fence down.
The general net haviug yet returned .neth
ing further has been done in the matter.

DAVIS SUSTAINED.
The Republican Ticket Lett as It Was. .
Eberly Caa Mew Take His Appeal te tae
Court.
In compliance with a call issued by Jehn
H. Fry, president of the late beard of n
turn judges of the late Republican pri
mary election, the beard of return judges
assembled in Grant hall at 11 o'clock this
morning for the alleged purpose of cor
recting any fraud or unfairness that may
have been committed at said primary elec
tien.
Leng before the hour appointed for the
assembling of the beard squads of Repub
lican politicians might be seen caucusing
in front of the Examiner and New Era
efhees, in the court house corridors, and
the saloons and hotels. Seme of the knew
ing ones confidently declared that the
Ebcrlys would have a two-thirds major
ity in the beard of judges and that A. J.
Eberly would certainly be declared the
nominee for district attorney and Pierson
M. Eberly for assemblyman of the North
ern district ; and ether knowing ones just
as cenhdently declared that Tem Davis
would be retained as nominee for district
attorney and A. W. Suader for assembly
At 1 1 o'clock President Fry entered the
nan wuueiu ins cane, anu there was a
universal inquiry, "Where's your club?"
He called the meeting te order, and AI.
Edwards, secretary, called the districts in
alphabetical order, nearly all the districts
answering te the call.
A. B. Reidenbach objected te the vote
of East Lampeter lieing counted, as J. F,
Themas, the judge from that district, was
dead.
Mr. Shirk stated that Mr. Thema,
en his death lied, had requested him te act
as his substitute.
Percy Schech moved that in substitu
tiens where a judge of election is absent.
none but the clerks of said election shall
be substituted, and that he must be sub
stituted by the judge.
After a wrangle the motion was with
drawn. Mr. Gast moved that the room be cleared
of all except the return judges, clerks, re
porters and interested candidates. The
motion was carried almost unanimously
and an attempt was made te clear the
room, and a great part of the rabble was
get out.
President Frey presented a pamphlet
prepared iu the interest of the Ebcrlys
and asked that that part of it containing
his call be read by the secretary. Great
confusion followed. This pamphlet had pre
vieusly been generally distributed among
the return judges.
Jacob Albright, of Maytown, made a
motion that the report of the majority of
the committee of investigation be declared
as fiual.
President Fry declared the motion out
of order amid hoetings and jeers.
The decision of the chair was voted
down almost unanimously.
Mr. Albright then pressed his motion,
but the president refused te put it. A
dozen delegates shook their fists under his
nsseand called him a G d feel.
Harrv W. Fisher, of Columbia, moved
that the beard proceed te impeach the pre
sident. Mr. Swope moved te amend by substi
tuting the minority report for the majority
report. The motion gave rise te the most
disgraceful confusion, nearly every man iu
the room being en his feet yellin'. vecifera
ting and trying te drown the voices of the
ethers. One little fellow hopelessly drunk,
insisted en standing, or rather staggering
directly Iu front of President Fry's chair,
and yelling at the top of his lungs. Mr.
Fry, net having his cane with him, was
utterly helpless in the midst of the mob.
As he was unable te contel the ''judges,"
he demanded that the reporters sit down,
and like geed .'fellows as they arc.
they promptly obeyed him. Finally,
something like order was restored
and the yeas and nays were called
en the motion te substitute the mi
nority for the majority report. Net one
half the judges seemed te knew hew te
vote, and net a few of them voted en both
sides, lieing prompted by their better post
ed partisans. After all the districts bad
been called the tellers announced the re
sult te be, yeas 23, nays 38 se the motion
te substitute the minority report was re
jected. This was greeted with yells of ap
probation by the Davis men.
3Ir. Albright then moved the adoption
of the majority report, and the yeas and
nays were again demanded. The call of
the roll was commenced and about a dozen
districts were called all of which voted aye
except the 5th and 7th wards, when a dele
gate arose and declaring it was all damned
nonsense te proceed with the call, moved
that the majority report be adopted by ac
clamatien. The motion was put and car
ried with a yell, only two or three judges
voting no.
Then the Davis-Snader men swim? their
hats and hurrahed for their favorites till
they were hearse. Adam Eberly and his
few backers looked very sick, and hastened
te leave the room.
3Iaj. Ben. Cox moved that this beard of
judges adjourn nine die. The motion was
unanimously carried, and the circus was
ever.
HOUSE ANU BUUOT STOLEN.
A Beld Theft at Lltltx.
Last night thieves entered the stable of
Henry Binkley, at Lititz, and stele there there
feom a gray horse, almost white, a buggy
and a set of h rness,and made their escape.
There was a tramp came te the premises
last evening and asked permission te s!eep
in the barn, aud his request was granted.
He states that between 12 and 1 o'clock
last night two men came into the stable
and deliberately commenced te harness the
horse. He saw the thieves and they saw
him, and had some eonvcrsitien with him.
The tramp says he supposed the men te he
the owners of the team, and that they
were getting ready te atteud the Laricas
ter market. His presence in the stable
did net seem te disturb them in the least,
as they completed their work aud drove
off quite leisurely. Mr. Binkley does net
believe the tramp was an accomplice. He
otters !2e reward for the recovery of the
team, and the matter has been placed in
Capt. Sprccher's bands, but as yet there is
no trace of them.
Spring Houses Robbed.
Last night the spring house at the chil
dren's home was broken into by thieves
and a let of butter was stolen.
Last night thieves opened the spring
house of Jacob Imhoff, residing about a
mile north of Rohrerstown, and stele a
large quantity of butter, besides some
meat and ether eatables.
One easterner.
The mayor had one drunk this morning
and gave him 10 days.
WILU HARRY.
He Escapee Frswss OMeer Within a UaK
Samara ef tfca Prison, bat fat Recaptured.
Thia atoning "Wild Harry," whose
case was te have been heard yesterday by
the judges, was brought down this morning
again. At half past ten o'clock his
case was heard before Judge Patterson.
His counsel asked that the amount of bail
for the accused be reduced from 400 te
9300. The court refused te de this, and as
Harry was unable te procure bail for the
larger amount he was remanded te prison.
Immediately after the hearing Frederick
Albright, undcrkeeper at the prison, start
ed from the court house for the jail with
Harry in charge. The prisoner walked out
East King street very quietly until they
reached Marshall street, which is hut a
half-square from the prison. Here Harry
turned around suddenly and struck Al
bright a blew in the face with his list.
The blew staggered Albright, but
did net knock him down Harry started
elT en a run down Marshall street te
Orange. Frem Orange he ran through a
small alley te Chestnut, thence across the
commons. He jumped into a yard in the
neighborhood of the Penn iron com
pany's works, and up te the present
writing he has net been captured. Al
bright first threw a club after the man and
then started iu pursuit of him, but was
unable te overtake him. The underkeep
er had no revolver, at least if he had he
did net use it. It seems very strange,
however, that a keeper of a prison should
undertake te take a man like Wild Harry
te prison without having handcuffs en him
or without a weapon. Harry is a young
active and strongly built man, and had
Albright, who is an old man, overtaken
him, he wenld no doubt have received
i
severe thrashing from the long-haired
ii-
lleman for his trouble.
A number of men went in pursuit of
Wild Harry and scoured the fields in the
vicinity, and finally he was found secrcitd
in a chicken house en the premises of Jehn
McLaughlin, Ne. 513 East Chestnut street.
He was taken into custody, placed in
charge of an officer and recommitted t
jail.

quarters of an acre of Hancock tobacco

have combined te give it its growth, and
it will be ready for cutting about the time
