LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER, THURSDAY, MARCH 24. 1881.
in;; iufoimatieu by reading, lie bad been
a diligent student of the Bible and of a
few standard works found iu bis father's
collection. lie had lead the weekly news
paper with avidity, aud canned with
healthy appetite and geed digestion the
M.ant text-books en geography and astron
omy which fell in his way. His studious
habits, his cle.se attention te the public
busines-, Lis devotion at once te his con
stituents' concerns and te the welfare ei
the commonwealth, a high courtesy te bis
opponents, mingled with a consistent sup sup
peit of the principles he espoused, kept
I'm- him the confidence of bis Iricnds
and wen the respect of his opponents.
After three yeais continuous service in the
Heuse he was elected te two terms, then
el four years each, in the Senate. His leg
islative career was distinguished for his
attciiiien te d3ty, for the service te piac
tieal legislation te which hi well-equipped
mind fitted him, aud for a stem iutegriy
that was net se exceptional then as new.
As chairman of the important committees
en reads aud bridges and of claims ; by
his interest in the public works of the
state; by his geed judgment and impar
tiality as speaker of the Senate iu 1812,
no appeal having been taken from his rul
ings; by his moderation amid the mem mem
erabli! paitisau madness of the "Buckshot
War," he pieved himself the conservative,
pi aetical, useful representative of hispeeplc.
.Nene the less he encountered the vindic
tive lesentment of. -.uch radicals as Thad
deus Stevens, because he would net fel
low them te the limits of excessive intoler
ance, which even his constituents might
have countenanced. His refusal te per
sist iu the desperate contest, mode by Ste
vens aud ethers, te exclude the Democrats
from their lawfully secured control of the
state government iu I808 ; his course in
the Senate at that ciitieal period, in voting
with a few ether conservative Whigs and
the Democrats, te recognize the "Hop "Hep
kins Heuse ' incurred tin; fierce denuncia
tion of the radical members of his party
against him. He was accused of livacheiy
by the violent auli-Maseu politician'-,
but the confidence of the people ii
him was net shaken. Iu the later divi
sions of his party iu this country his cen-Mu-vutism
naturally lauded him in the
"Silver-Gtay" faction. He was never
uihtinui.-ned as an Abolitionist. Time
vindicated his meie conservative course,
and he was made the candidate of the
Whigs for Congress in Lancastei
comity in the memorable Polk-Clay
campaign of 1844. Such was his
pepuluiity that the opposition organ felt
billed upon te n.1111 its party friends net
te vete for him, though its objec'ieus te
him had no malignancy and little fervor.
Dr. Israc Vintcis, of Earl, a popular
Democrat, was hit opponent. Henry
Witmer ran as a Native American. The
vote steed : Stiehm, 7,H8C ; Winters, 5,00(5 ;
Witmer, J,."71. He was reelected iu 1840,
and his e0114re-.-ien.1l service ended with
Taylei 's inanimatien.
In Congress, if net a brilliant member,
he was net an obscure one. He met all
Pie .just expectations of his constituents, this morning, during which they examined
and he was well and favorably known te :t number of the venchers of the poor peer
the distinguished men iu both houses in ! house accounts. These vouchers were
i!ie- ta.ys et giants. .Lincoln,
Webster, Douglas, Clay, Calhoun and
William Allen of the dead, weie in Con
gress then; besides them Jeffersen Davis,
Alexander H. Stephens, ex Governer Jas.
''. Pollock, Jeseph K. Ingcrsell, and
Speakeis l'ehcrt C. Winthrop and Jehn
XV. Davis are among the subjects of his
liveliest recollection. Win thiel) he re
garded as the lii. J man intellectually in '
the lower house. Lincoln he remem
bers as an ungainly, awkward per
son, plain i:i appearance, with a lund
of common scne and stock of effective
anecdote. Ai tenuis Hale, aged ninety-
seven, of I)i idgewater, Mass., is the eldest
et ins eouiempeiaiics wne survives, ami
between him and Mr. Strohm a friendly
oiii'Mieudeiice has long been maintained,
se recently as lat fall iuWchauging their
)ie!iti-il view.- and agreeing te vote for
Gavfield.
Mr. Strohm was a delegate in the Whig
national conventions of 1S4S and 185- and
Je the Republican state convention in 180'J.
in ltTil the Whigs ran him as their state
nominee for c in il commissioner, and he
was defeated by Seth Clever. His subse
quent retirement from active politics was
due mere te his own inclination for pri
vate life than te any failing of his interest
in public affairs, or any lack of his avail
ability, as the candidate of a party with
!;ss majority te back it and mere auxieu-.
te !ind iienc.-l men than his party has been
111 tins county for the last thirty years.
Dii'ing the war he maintained the nie.t
..ealeus interest in the cau-c of the Union,
his personal relations with Mr. Lincoln in
Jen-ifjing his natural patriotism. At its
close none was mere anxious than he te see
amity and geed will restored between
these who should never have been less
than fellow countrymen. He was one of
the two delegates sent from this county te
the convention which met iu National
hall. Philadelphia, presided ever, I think,
by ex-All. ituey General Speed, of Ken
tucky, and which had been convened
maiuly te let representative Southern men
speak te representative Northern men the
honest seulimcits of contrition, reconcilia
tion, and union, which then animated the
better nature of the scourged and suffer
ing Seuth. Jehn Strohm, who knew and
was known te many of the Southern dele
gates in Congress, heard aud heeded
them. Unhappily "reconstruction " was 1
net lelt te such as tliey anu lie.
Partv 1
profit and sectional pride ruled tin hour
- t
and sorry weik they made etit.
Jehu Strohm has been a justice of the
peace for twenty years, and recently lifted
his commission for another term. He
knows 1 ething of the arts by which this
efiice is new se often prostituted for the
individual gain of its incumbent. Ner his
the i'uuut ion te exercise it te the stirring
up of strife, the multiplication of com
plaints and the swelling of fees. He is a
conservator of the public peace, and a
'earless arbitrator of private dispute-:,
thau whom no individual in thee narts
has eflcncrbccn called upon te adjust the
contentions of litigants, nor with
such satisfactory results te ail concerned.
Seme yea is age he had referred te
him a knotty calculation, viewed very
diileicntly by parties interested in it, in
volving a hopeless complication of the ac
counts of two co administrators, each act
ing en his or en her own responsibility,
and bjlh inextricably confusing their
rights and duties as administrators, heirs,
aud agents. Principals, counsel, and audi
tors struggled vainly with it. Out of four
teen foolscap pages of figures Jehu Strohm
evolved conclusions se clear and equitable
that everybody was satisfied. He fixed
the fee for his services at five dollars.
He has been school director and town
ship auditor ; for forty-five years secretary
of the Farmers' mutual insurance com.
pany, he was last year elected president.
As administrator, guardian and trustee,
read and bridge viewer, and iu the many
capacities in which intelligent citizenship
is te be exercised for the public geed, he
is repeatedly called upon te act. The
father of seven children, one of whom,
his namesake, has been county commis
sioner, his first wife died in 1832, and he
remained a widower uutil 1857, when he
married his second wife, with whom he re
sides at his home. " Kofteti," en the banks
of the Beaver creek, near the Hue of
Strasburg and Providence townships.
Within the past few years a railroad te
Qiiarryvilln has been constructed pass his
deer, and the adjoining station is named
"Rcften," in compliment te him.
As often as weekly he may be seen en
the streets of Lancaster; his form is
slightly bowed, but net enfeebled ; his
locks silvered, his cheek ruddy with evi
dences of geed health, aud his bright,
dark eye has lest none of its lustre. Bus
ied about the things which ate his legiti
mate concern, aud tiie matters entrusted
te his discretion by his neighbors, he finds
the best employment of his hale body and
unimpaired mind in continuing his atten
tion te the pursuits in which he has been
active for three "quarters of a century.
His handwriting is as geed as it was thirty
years age.
Seme years age I had occasion te notice
the presence en the streets of Lancaster,
one day, of 'Jehn Strehai, Abram Peters.
Abraham Kaultman ana (jerneuus uemns.
They were all representative men, ever
eighty years of age. They represented
four different localities, and as
many distinct elements of the com
posite citizenship of Lancaster county.
They had represented their county in the
Legislature with a service that was credita
ble te their constituencies and honorable te
themselves. Mr. Cellins was the first te
pass away, youngest of the quartet, I think.
.Mr. Peters s busy and honorable life has
has already been sketched iu Progress,
lie resides in Alillersville, beloved by all
who knew him. Mr. Kauffman enjoys the
ease and dignity of retirement from active
business in a home, surrounded by the
comforts and luxuries of life, in Penn
township. They belonged tea generation
befeie the fathers of these who are new
taking up the business and professional
weik of this community. I wonder if,
after our work is done, should we live te
read and hear, the third generation will
be able te bear such testimony te the
worth of it as we concede te Jehn Strohm
and men like him.
C1. Ferney '8 Compliments,
rregiess tenterial.
Jehn Stiehm, a man of simple, honest,
able and 01 iginal character, whose ambi
tion was bounded by the county in which
he was born, although his name is honored
al! ever the continent. He is in his 87th
yeai a wonder of mental and physical en
ergy. Few such octogenarians as Jehn
Strohm, Abraham Peters, and Abraham
Kaullmau, each far ever eighty, survive
elsewhere te prove tne value et pure, up
right, aud Ged-fearnig lives.
THK COUNTY AUUITOltS.
One fit Tliem IHguted at Ills Colleagues.
The doings of the county auditors rc-
j quite but a short report te-day, as they
did net de much business, either in the
circus line or in the matter of auditing ac
counts. We understand that Frank Mus
ser. pi esident of the beard, who yesterday
threatened te commit "for contempt of
court " almost everybody who did net
promptly "sit down" or "shut up"
when he commanded thein te de se, feels
aggrieved at the report of the proceedings
of yesterday's "circus." This morning
he ti iert te exclude from the room the re
porter of the New Era, and left word with
one of the county officers that he wanted
te see the reporter of the Intelligences
The reporter promptly put in an appear
ance, but Mr. Musser informed him, with
a smile, that he had nothing te say te him
just theu.
flic auditors had but a short session
bills and receipts for "bull" and ether
previsions used iu the almsheuse and hos
pital. Mr. Cumin held, and Mr. Musser agreed
with him, that the auditors couldn't tell
whether these bills were correct or net,
unless they had- Superintendent Cox be
fore them te answer te their correctness.
Mr. Cellins, en the ether band, held
that it. was 110 part of the auditors' duty te
have all the items of the bills verified by
oath ; these bills had already been verified,
and the treasurer of the beard of peer di
rectors had sworn te his account.
Messrs. Musser and Curran, however.
insisted en having Superintendent Cox be
feic tliem,
before they would proceed
with the audit. Consequently they ad
journed untl this afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Mr. (kll ins appears te be heartily dis
gusted with the action et the ether mem
bei s of the beard. This morning he char
acterized the proceedings of the beard as
disgraceful and threatened te resign. Net
many who have watched the action, or
lather inaction, of the beard will dilfet
from Mr. Cellins in his opinion of it as a
whole, or of its members individually.
The beard has already consumed mere
than twice as much time as is necessary
te accomplish a careful audit of the
county accounts. They are net done
yet and nobody knows when they j
will be done ; and nobody will
place lnuuh confidence in their work
when it is linishcd. One main object of
the beard appears te be te consume time.
We await with some interest the bill which
they will present for their services. Their
professed zeal in sci ntiuizing the accounts
)1 ether officers, win no doubt make them
veiy caicful in net evcr-statiug the value 1
of their own set vices. We shall sec : and
we shall see also what the county commis
sioners will have te say about it.

cause of the fire which destroyed tlie
opera house at Nice last night, was a leak
in the gas pipes behind the scenes. The
leak was caused suddenly iu some way yet
unknown and allowed great volumes of
gas te escape. This ignited, before the
leak was discovered, from the rear stage
lights, aud the explosion which followed
at once set all the scenery and inflamma
ble material en the stage en lire, aud be
fore the audience recovered from their
first horror the entire building was iu
flames.
''Te add te the calamity sem6 one turned
the gas off in an effort te step the fire and
then a terrible panic ensued. The audi
ence became frantic and in cudeaveriug
te escape all sought personal safety, and
the weaker men and women were remoitc remeitc
Jy knocked aside and trampled upon.
Many of the actors and chorus were burn
ed te death. One hundred and fifty dead
ai:d charred bodies have already been dug
out of the ruins te-day."
