LANCASTER DAIL17 INTELLIGENCER THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1881. Lancaster l-ntcuigenccr. THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 24, 188!. Stock Ballooning. Light is let in upon one of the numer ous stock jobbing operations of Mr. Jay Gould by the .story of the contemplated new line from Philadelphia te Baltimore. It seems that Mr. Gould, of the Jersey Central ; Mr. Vandeibilt, of the New Yeilc Central : Mr. Gauett. of the Bal timore & Ohie; Mr. Drexel, of Phila delphia : and Mr. McCeinb, of Dela ware, formed a syndicate te secure a chaiter ler and te build the Delaware & Western raihead as an opposition line te the Philadelphia, Wilmington x Baltimore read. That corporation, of course, contested the matter in the Legisatuse: but suddenly a preposition is made te transfer the control of the old line te the promoters of the new. The immediate advantage eflcicd is the opportunity te put up the stock in the Xf.v Yeik market fieni seventy te one bundled and dhide the pie!it. The speculation is entirclj in Mr. Gould V line and no doubt the suggestion come from him. Mr. G.irictt falls in with it. being eager te at once get a New Yei k connection under bib font i id. Mr. McComb declines be cause lie is committed te the people of D'Iaai te procure a competing line te the existing monopoly.

They don't believe it new indeed; but they think that there are ether feels who de and that they can foresee the crashjand get out jin time. Te all such we recommend the story of the two colored hunters, who found one day a bearcive with the cues in it and tie dam away from home. Pete went in and Jim staid at the mouth te watch. Presently Peter found occasion te say. "Jim, wha'daiken de hole dar:'1 and Jim, who was holding en ler dear life te the old bear who had slipped by, shouted down. " Wait till de tail brake and you'll see wha'daiken de lade dar." The tail will break, v.e fear, before our friends who arenewagieeablv cmpiined in peck eting their pielits aie able te get salely out of the hole. Till: new senator from Pennsylvania S?ems te have been born te wear political honors. All his life he lias Ik en vainh trying te escape them. When he de clined longer service in the Legislature, he was asked te go te the State Senate ; declining that, he was nominated for Congress in his absence at the Cen tennial exposition and without his knowledge ; and new when he de clines Cengiess he is sent without his solicitation 1e the Senate. . It is the most remarkable illustration of Such cattle as Cooper will hkely net be Mnhlcnberg, of 1'eimsyivani.i, wasrecciv the thrusting of honors upon ti declining liapnv in his company, but the common- ?d h- Representative Clymer vestculay, te candidate that we knew of. There is wealth can hardly spare him from its cbfiSeJsISSbv. " enough in i te suggest te pe liticians the service when geed men are se scarce. cultivation of modesty as a profitable virtue. The gentlemen "who have been hanging around the. Legislature, begging te be senators, have reason te consider whether their ways of seeking office htve been any mere wise than decent. If that wild Irishman Oliver had but curbed his native impudence and impet uosity, and staid in his iron mill until the Legislature called him out of it, he might have awaited a call in vain, but he would have been richer a geed deal iu cash and self-respect than he is new. though still net a senator. A Heed Han (ienc Wrong. Judge Galbraith, of Erie, whose in tegrity and ability we have often found occasion te commend, ha-; recently made a remarkable ruling in a case of criminal libel. It is one which, if sus sus tained.weuid de as much te overturn the present established law in such eases and te unsettle the existing responsibility of new.spapcr publishers, as Judge P.itter P.itter se:is law in our disbarment ci"" would have seiieiisly affected the h-g.il profes sion had it been .sustained by the- higher courts. It has never before been held, we believe, thai in libel, any mere than m any ether criminal case, there can be convicMen wheie an utter absence of malicious intent or even criminal knowl edge by the dcfer.diiut.ef the offense laid, i.s shown : nor has any su !i evidence b-dere hem excluded from the jury, made the judgesefth" law and the tacts, i'i any criminal prosecution within our knowledge. Judge Galbtaith intieduces this innovation by which an employer beeemcs criminally responsible for the acts of his employee, committed without his knowledge or autheiity and even in disobedience te his instiitctien'. In the case in point a local lepeiler of the Erie Mewing Dhn'ii'-h. after pall ing wilii a coin ivial fri"ml one night, u-publi-hi'd in the next day. p.ip'r a hu morous article from the Xew Yerk 1, .(, which !. aUcre 1 !e, the in ,ertien ! of bis liieiid'.s name and lir location of ' the ludicieus in. ideal in Erie. It was a breadl' f-ircical narrative, net huitful te a:ib dv. wis ui id.1 te lint the pirty te whom it icter took ii amiss and prnsi'ciited the publisher et i!ie p.iper for libel. On the trial it was effeted te show tiic absence of malice ; thai the alleged article was cenceivi.lin a spiiii of inne- c ni liiirih and lnibiislud as a jek-j ; that tiie iei.it ions b'-t ween plaintiff and th" defendant were ei t lie friendliest char- ler ; that there had lie been anv dilTcirnces betwc.'n them of any kind and hence no motive for publishing a libel ; th l the alleged libel waspubli-iicd with out tiic knowledge of the d.dcndant and against his general insti actie;. s te his .-iiibeidrntts; ihal it was written and published after lie had left the efikv ler the night : lli.it tie h-id leceived no In timation iiem any sourceef ii ; intended publication, and th.u there w.is an ab sence of malicious intent te d"f.imc or lidicule the jd.iiniiff. Ail el these elfcis weie excluded by tiieceint en the general gieuud that t iie publication of the mat ter in defendant's piper bei.u: admitted and the mailer being ahbei in iiseif, hei' ausweiable in a criminal pro-ecutien. And though Judge Galbraith It. hi the jury that the: ai'd the f.u-ls. weie .ji he told the I hem also the conelusieii .nn$i fellow that he Is Ii ible rtiHl iiurf iv'ii h Out i'I'iw' ic .('' ; anil, even it they acquitted, that it was net :i esc in which they ought te put the costs en the county or the prosecutor.

East Liverpool, Ohie, destieying the sleeping apartments ever Staley's res taurant, seems te have been a foretaste of the hcait-sickeuiug leastiug which was te fellow. Yesterday morning about half past 1 o'clock flames were discovered is suing fieni the diug store of Slean Bres., in Frauk Stewart's four-story frame build ing, corner Broadway and Sixth stieets, used by him as a feed store and baled hay waieheuse and occupied also by Mr. Kauf man as a grocery. It is supposed that Slean, being a new coiner te thc town, did net knew of the heavy pressuie which comes en at times fieni the natural gas. and left it binning in the "" diug stoic, ever which lie was sleeping, with his family of wife and seven children, and brother-in-law, a Mr. Skeels, (if Harrison county, Ohie, and wdie only an i veil in town en Tuesday te pay them a visit. On dis dis ceveiing the flames Mr. Slean woke all, and picking up a little daughter three j ear old, te'd them te fellow. The stair ways weie by this time burned away, and escape by th it means cut off. Turning te the fient of thc building he told his wife, with babe in her arms, and children te fol fel low him, and leaped te the ground. The wife and ehikhcu were either oveiceme by thc ll.uues and stilling fumes from the diug store, or failing te get the chilihen te jump, pieiened death with them. Mr. Slean hoped by jumping first te be able te catch the ethers and bieak the feice of their fall, and, although breaking his !e in the leap, h-'bbied around crying out pit pit ceusly for the ethers. The building was eicctcd last summer and was a pei feet lii e trap, having num erous elevateis i milling up through the feui th fleer which opened up an inviting pathway for the fiery lieiiti, and ue.uly every lioer being filled Avith hay, the 11 lines spiead with frightful rapidity and iu twenty or th'uty minutes the entire sti ac tum was consumed.
