LANCASTER PAILY INTELLIGENCER TUESDAY, AUGUST, 1881. Hancaster f ntcHigencet. TUESDAY EVENING, AUOTJST 2, 188!. Penn's Remains. New that the full text has been re ceived of the reply te the Pennsylvania commissioner sent te England for Penn's bones there appears te be nothing in it te warrant resentment en the part of our state, or such as was alleged te have Ijeen rather ungraciously expressed by the disappointed commissioner. The re mains of Pennsylvania's founder are in the graveyard and custody of a society of that; religious denomination of which he was a member, and the principles of which made the economy he planted here, distinguished in its day and in history for its humanity and picturesque simplicity, net unmixed with worldly wisdom. Whatever there was of glory in Penn's achievements and te elicit ad miration of his character was shared by the people from whom he had sprung, by the faith which had nourished him and which he exemplified in his public administration, and by the community te which he retired and in the besom of which he died. Quite na turally, therefore, these people object te the removal of his remains, net only be cause they have an honest pride in their possession and custody, but because the ceremonial of their removal, ami the celebration of their re-interment as pro posed, would have been inconsistent with the practices of the Friends, and, it may he presumed, with the ideas of the eminent dead. Moreover, it will be conceded by all decent-minded persons, that the wishes of Penn himself, if there is any mode of ascertaining them, .should be conclusive ; hence the removal of his remains from the spot he specially .selected for their resting place would ba wholly unwarrantable. If these consideration were net enough the practical diilieuhy of finding and identifying his exact iuJy would frus trate the execution of what, after all, must appear in any but a sentimental view of the matter te have been a foolish preposition from the beginning. All these considerations are set forth temper ately and respectfully, but forcibly u the reply of the trustees of the Friends' meeting te the representative of Penn sylvania and they appear te be unan swerable. Surely there is no need of having Penn's bones te honor him. Xe man's fame, nor the celebration et it.eau be cir cumscribed by the location of his mau soleum. Monuments and statues, and tablet:-, are .set up altogether regardless of this. It is impossible te make the bones go around, even if they were mul tiplied as often as the relies of some of the saints. Lit. the case of Mad Antheny "Wayne, we believe there arc two graves. One is said te contain his flesh aud the ether his bones, whichever stripped for the better facilities of transportation. But Pennsylvania can build any monu ment te Penn it wants te erect, without what is left of his mortality reposing be neath it. Thus far she has shown no haste te make any such prevision. Keller, perhaps, would she honor the memory of her founder if her people made their commonwealth mere worthy of his name. Proud as our state is in material advancement, its po litical morality is a bye-word and hissing among the sisterhood. Its elders are kept in the background of the national councils aud its young men of laudable ambition have it chilled, because the last three decades of our legislative his tory have se shamed the principles of her founder and violated the motto em blazoned en her escutcheon. Let us leek te a correction of these things. Perhaps a study of Penn's life and character may lead te them. If se any discussion which will revive them will net be fruitless ; but certainly we can de better te live by Penn's principles with his bones laid where he chose, than te build a whited sepulchre above them here and continue in our public disrespect te his memory by ignoring the ideas which an imated Pennsylvania's founder. Tin: Irish cause at home does net seem te be in much mero sagacious hands than of the red O'Don O'Den O'Don avens here, who are advising assassina tion and incendiarism as fit modes of warfare. Mr. Gladstone's land bill, which passed the Heuse of Commens, was struggling through the upper Heuse, when Parnell, instead of quietly resting satisfied with even this state of progress, raised a great hubbub in the Commens by denouncing " the conduct of the ministry in continuing te held in prison men who were the true authors of the land bill, while at the same time they admitted the justice of the claims put forth en behalf of the tenant farm ers and the absolute necessity of reform. This conduct, Mr. Parnell declared, proved the Ministry and the Parliament te ha tyrants and oppressors ;" and te avoid suspension for violating the decencies of debate he quit the chamber. Mr. Parnell continually gives ground for the belief that he is a very rash and un reliable leader. The great mass of Irish men in America Iiavja an earnest sympa thy with parliamentary agitation for the rights of the people of Ireland and the bulk of our countrymen are in accord with them, but it would be cheerful te see a little sagacity and practical wisdom mixed with the fervor of the Land Leaguers and Fenian outfitters. Oxu source of regret, hinted at by the Londen Times, in the failure te have Penn's bones transplanted te this coun try, mav find lodgment here. That is in the disappointment of the art world at net seeing " a monumental pile such as . the tee magnificent and net tee refined taste of a Pennsylvania Legislature would lie certain te provide." The monu ment might goon all the same, however, in the service of the fine arts. The report that Blaine is lending his aid le Mahone te capture the Republican organization in Virginia will readily be believed! That is about Mr. Blaine's size. Still, it has net yet leen pointed eat by what constitutional prevision the secretary of state shall exercise the powers of president during the disabil ity of the chief executive. On the whole the Democracy general ly will be glad te see Senater Beck re turned from Kentucky. He is a strong man and has the reputation of being honest and straightforward. He needs, however, te render a geed deal of geed service in reparation of his luckless vote for Stanley Mathews's confirmation. The mother of future secretaries of the treasury comes from Ohie, of course. A woman there who owed her hired man a debt, and had unavailingly ex hausted all ether resources for its pay ment wittily extinguished it by marry ing him. MINOR TOPICS. Gov. St. Jehn, of Kansas, writes te a Pennsylvanian that the prohibition law of that state is a grand success en the whole, and with the exception of a few large cities as generally enforced and obeyed as ether laws. Tiif. Chinese ministers te tliis govern ment, Chin Lan Pin and Yung Wing, arc te be withdrawn by order of their govern ment. They will be succeeded by :i single representative. This is in deference te the expression of ether first-class powers, who are recognized by only one minister from China. The new fiscal vcar enens with an un usually favorable exhibit, the reduction in the public debt for the first month, end ing yesterday, being ever $10,000,000 against $5,000,000 for .July, 1880. This large excess of surplus revenue ever that of July last year is attributed largely te a reduction of expenditures, as the aggie gatc receipts for last month are nearly $500,000 below these for July, 18S0. Less incredulous aud mere charitable people even lhati the New Yerk Herald cannot understand hew the discovery of the electricians that " the ball is ledged at ' a point five inches below the navel aud I three and a-half inches, te the right of the median line.'' an inch and a-half from the surface, ' confirms in all respects the theory maintained by Dr. Bliss," that this' ball passed through tLe liver, traversed the abdominal cavity and ledged some where in the abdominal wall. It has been disuercrc.1 that among re cent foreign fashions, smuggled into this country without payment of duty, is the institution of a chaperone. Henceforth, ,;thc frank and free young Yankee maid en"' is te go into the presence of no man except her father and brothers, save with her female companion. Already hi New Yerk a young lady cannot ride with her ; .ltieptc(i a resolution that no pupils be ad engaged husband alone. Whoever would ; mittcd iute the schools who cannot show tike her te the theatre must buy thrce tickets and have the chaperone by at j every moment te supervise the conversa tion and deportment. ; Travelers who have net read of the Parliamentary act of 1857. for Londen, re. ', quiring factories and elh,er establishments ' using steam power te consume their own ( smoke, leek with wonder at the tali chim ney stacks iu Glasgow from which smoke i ., . r.,. ... isse.uem seen te issue, me regulation there is by local ordinance, however, and it is made effective bv rigid police en-! ferecment. The engineer who supplied the factories with an idea of hew te live up j te it says he yrevided simply a scries of t grooved furnace bars with openings at the rear se as te admit the air which had been ! passed under the furnace. The air had become slightly heated in this p.is.ige and mingled with the flaaie and smoke iu their course around the boilers, furnishing enough oxygen te consume most of the smoke before the circuit was made. Radical howlers and heelers te the contrary notwithstanding, the colored man must get seme sort of a chance in the Seuth. Fer here is Henry Tedd, of Daricu, Ga., who by the kindly aid of his old owners aud his own quiet manner, industry and uprightness has accumulated $100,000, lives in a neat country home, surrounded by a family of five children, who enjoy the luxuries of life. Every summer they leave- the coast and spend the het months at a house which they own iu one of the cool mountain nooks of North Georgia. Henry Tedd has care fully kept from active participation in politics, though he has frequently been solicited te be a candidate. He has con stantly voted the Democratic ticket and has always warned his colored friends against the carpet-baggers who have de ceived aud swindled them in Georgia since the war. Lee Hartmax, the alleged Nihilist, contributes eight columns te the Herald, purporting te be an accurate aud detailed acceuut of the attempted assassination of the late czar by means of the railroad mine. Hartmau was engaged iu that das tardly enterprise and he relates the cir cumstances with tee evident, gusto. If this individual be net a fraud he will un doubtedly render the cause he advocates mere despicable aud odious in the estima tien of meu than it otherwise would have been. The Nihilist may he picturesque and romantic te a few distempered fancies while at a distance, but close at hand he stauds revealed iu all his rcpulsivcness. Hartman's arrival is very inopportune. A nation's president lies stricken by the hand of an assassin, and we view such matters new iu the light of recent exper ience. "We have no sympathy with crime of this character, and Hartman, gloating ever the mangled cerse of Russia's sover eign, is nothing but a confessed mutdcrer of the most hideous type. PERSONAL, i'he wife of ex-Senater Howe, of Wu- j cousin, died at the residence of her son- in-law, Colonel Enech Tetteu, in Wash ington. Bishop E. O. IIavf.x, of the Methedkt Episcopal church, is lying dangeieusly ill in San Francisce.. He is net expected te recover. "While Lord Lekxe'b party was cross ing a pertage between Black river and White Fish bay, in Manitoba, a few days age, Alexander McManus, driver of the baggage wagon, fell from his seat, while going down a hill and a wheel paseed ever him, injuring his spine se badly that he died in 'a tew minutes. The election in Kentucky was held yes terday. Ne state officers of importance were chosen, and the chief interest was felf in the choice of the Legislature, which will elect" a successor te . Senater Beck. The question of calling a constitutional conventfen was also voted upon. Returns from Lexington and adjoining districts in dicate the election of Beck men te the senate and assembly. It is te be presumed that II. J. Ramsdelij, et the "Washington Republic, felt that he was pretty nearly even after he had fired this shet: "Ex-Senater Conkling says I am a newspaper sewer rat. Elihu B. "Wasbbume, in the thirty-ninth Congress, during a sitting in the Heuse, shook his fist iu Mr. Ceukling's face and called him a liar and a coward. A dozen fellow members witnessed the scene and also saw Mr. Washburne go the second time te Mr. Ceukling's seat and heard him repeat the epithet. Mr. "Washburue's word has never yet been questioned, even by Mr. Conkling." It was BoexwAirnn, the Democratic candidate for governor of Ohie, who just before, last year's election announced the following te his employees : " I under stand it has been circulated and rcpeited among you that if General Hancock is elected the shop will close. I want te say te you all that when Saturday night comes General Hancock or General Garfield will net pay you your wages, and it makes no difference who is elected. This shop shall aud will run, and I will see that every J man iu my employ gets his wages. Any man who circulates such a report 1 want him te call at the office and get his pay and leave."

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THE TOKACCO rKOSFKUT. Effects or the Dreuth, Rain ami liall. Fer several weeks past reports from al most all sections of Lancaster county were te the effect that the tobacco crop was suf fering greatly from the want of rain. There were a few favored localities where local rains had fallen and saved the to bacco from sullering, aud from such lo cal i lies encouraging reports were had. On lasf Thursday and Friday general showers fell in a goodly portion of the county, and yosterday (Monday) there was a rain of still wider limit. Thcse showers will give new life te the growing crop, and probably secure a full average yield of the later planted fields; but much of the early planted has been permanently injured by the long continued dreuth, as will be seen by re ports from many sections of the county, detailed in the proceedings of the agricul tural society published iu auethcr part of. the IXTELLIC.EXCER. The receut rains have been of incalcul able value, but even they have net proven an unmixed blessing.

Chief of Police Dcichlcr yesterday sus pended Constable Jehn McDevitt, of the Fourth ward, from duty en the city police force until Mayer MacGonigle's return te the city, for violation of orders and neglect of duty. Mayer MacGeuigle, as is known, has been for a week past absent from the city, and the chief of pelice urged upon his officers especial vigilance during the mayor's absence. On Saturday, without uetifying the chief of the fact Officer Mc Devitt while en duty left the city, and did net return until Monday having employed Officer Flick who was oil" duty te take his place during Saturday. As Officer Flick had te attend te his own duties en Monday Chief Dcichler put Mr.. Gill en duty as a substitute for Mc Dcvitt. McDevitt appeared at the station house at 3 p. m. Monday, aud "relieved" Gill, but as Chief Dcichler had, in the meantime, notified McDevitt of his sus pension, Gill was again placed en the force and the chief notified the mayor of his action. Officer McDevitt, we understand, says that he tried te see the chief before he left Lancaster and that he returned te Lan caster Monday forenoon, and had intended reporting for duty at 11 ocleck but did net de se when he found he was tee late for roll-call. He also claims that the chief of pelice had no power te suspend him that prerogative resting with the mayor alone, and he repudiates the suspension. The cIiief,ef course, maintains that it is his duty te enforce the rules and suspend officers who violate them and mil te report for duty in the absence of the mayor. MATTOWN NEAVB.

OJiE TKAIN RUNS INTO .tnnTIIUt. Curs Leaded AVlIli Merchandise Scattered mitl ISreketi. Shortly after 5 o'clock last evening a de structive freight wreck occurred en the Pennsylvania railroad, between Diller ville and the Little Concstega bridge, and just a short distance west of the Hanis burg turnpike crossing. About that time a train, en the extra freight cast schedule, drawn by eugine Ne. 232, was standing west of Dillerville some distance wait ing for the day express te pass down the Mt. Jey branch of the read and en te the main track. Auethcr train drawn by eugine Ne. 113 came up at a pretty brisk rate and ran iute the rear of the front train, breaking the caboose into splinters and throwing ene car of the front train off the track. Engine Ne. 113 was terribly wrecked, while the tank was tern from its truck and was lifted upon the top cf a car leaded with coal. Fifteen ether cars of the rear train were thrown off the track and most of them were broken up. Twe heavy box. cars, leaded with grain were thrown up an embank ment aud iute a field en thn south side of the track, where they struck with such force as te plow deep furrows in the ground. The cars were piled upon each ether, and oue of them, which hail been leaded with large bales of cotton, was broken into splinters, and it looked like a lead of fire weed, (train, merchan dise, lumber, railroad iron, iron piping. &c, were strewn all along the track and ever the bordering fields. One box car was thrown ever against a telegraph pole along the north side of the track. This pole bent and several of the wires were broken. When the wreckers came the. pole was cut oil" in order te threw the cr.r ever into the field in clearing the n.jtii track. Immediately after the wreck word was sent for the wreck trains at Parkesbur" and Columbia, and they Vere both seen en the ground. The crevs wcnt te work at ence and at midnight the north track was cleared and trains were able te pass, lhc ether track Was net cleared until this morning at an early hour. All freight and passenger trams running iu both directions were delayed for many hours. The only mau who was injured in the wreck was" James Haughey, the engineer of engine Ne. 113. When he found that he was unable te held his eugine he at tempted, te jump from her. In se deinc he fell, his head striking against the stones en the track. He was quickly taken te the caboose in the rear of his train, as it was thought he was w seriously injured. Dr. Muhlenberg was sent for and he seen came and attended the mau. His injuries were found te consist of several ugly cuts iu the head, but they are net dangerous. After having his head bandaged he was removed te his home iu Columbia. James Cook, fireman of engine Ne. 113, had his wrist sprained. The wreck Vas a very serious one and the less te the railroad company will be very heavy. Hew it occurred was explained by Lewis Hubbs, of Harrisburg, the Hag man of the front train, and really scarcely any oue cau be blamed for the accident. The flagman says that his train slopped at this place te wait for the day express and lie went back some distance in the rear for the purpese or flagging approaching trains. He placed two caps en the track and shortly afterward his engineer whistled for him. IIu ran te make his caboose and at that time saw no ether train in the rear. "When he reached the train he found that it was net -in motion, aud upon turning around he found that engine Ne. 113 was rapidly running down upon them. and. he knew there would be a wreck. He quickly j limped from his train and intended te get into a held en the north side in order that the engineer of the coming train, then ou a curve, might seu him. Along the field en that side of the read there is a fence made of barbed wire. The llagman did net observe this, as it was a cloudy day, aud in attempting te get ever it he was caught, having large portions of his clothing tern oil. He was unable te get ever in time and in the meantime the accident occurred. It will be seen that as there was no tlagmaix back iu time it was impossible for the en gineer of Ne. 113 te step his train, at the rate it was running, with the track in :i very slippery condition. The flagman of the front train seems te have done all iu his power te prevent the wreck, and had it net been for the barbed fence hu might, have succeeded in saving the train. He did all iu his power te warn the train, even after he had licen called iu by his en gineer. nUAKKYVILXB. Its lirnwtlt and lluiiiieiw Development.
