Lancaster IntelUgencer.
THURSDAY KVENINQ, OCT. 0, 1881.
Oie SMed HaratMj.
The Xew Yerk convention was a very
tame affair, its special features being
long-winded sieecbes by the temporary
chairman, Senater Miller, and perma
nent chairman, Depew, who is net a sen.
ater bat wanted te be. The preference
which induced the convention te give
him a bigger place than Miller was net
very complimentary te the senator-elect.
Beth speakers seemed te set great store
en harmony, and apparently the wish
nearest tneir hearts was te clasp te their
besoms every ether Republican in the
state But the action of the convention
did net show that their feeling was suf
Gciently deep-seated te be a cause of any
great self sacriQce. The friends of Gar
field and opponents of Cenklihg and Ar
thur wre in a large majority, owing te
the fact that when they were chosen
their king was still living. They were
determined te make the most of their
power, being very reasonably doubtful
as te when they would have another
chance. They would net concede se
much te the Stalwart faction as te ac
cept the Half-Breed chairman, Hiscock,
whom the Stalwart state committee rec
ommended te the convention, but in
sisted en forcing the chairman of that
committee, ex-Senater Piatt, te intro
duce te the convention as its presiding
officer the man who had taken from him
his senatorial seat. It seems mere than
usual impudence in the Half-Breed chair
man te pretest his love of harmony
after having just practically demon
strated that the kind he wanted was that
which would give him his own way in
everything. It is a very usual kind w ith
politicians.
The Stalwart minority in the New
Yerk convention took their snubbing
quietly, becaase it did net hurt them
much, and they knew they had the sub
stance of victory. The Half-Breeds who
rustled about se loudly were hold
ing a wake ever the dead body of their
cause, and it really would have been in
jurious te have marred in any way their
enjoyment of the occasion. The effort
of every party being the securement of
the control of the federal government, it
was net at all necessary for the Stal
warts, who were secure in that through
their chief, who is the president, te agi
tate themselves ever the inconsequential
action of the state convention ; and tin's
is a sufficient explanation of their quiet
ude under the arrogance of the Half-Breeds.
The Lebanon judicial conferees sug
gested te their Dauphin associates the
name of Herace A.Yundt, of Berks coun
ty, as that of one whom they were ready
te nominate. The Dauphin conferees
weuldhave done well te accept him, as
he would make an excellent judge. He
is the brother of E. H. Yundt, whom
the Lancaster Democratic convention
asked te accept the judicial nomination.
It is somewhat singular -that the Demo
crat of these brothers thus named for
judicial position lives in a Republican
county, while the Republican is settled in
one that is as strongly Democratic. Thus
each is barred in his own county from-
the bench, for which he is considered te
be well-fitted. The practice of takine
judges from outside the county in which
they will serve is a geed one for many
and obvious reasons, and should -be en
forced by law.
The city councils, we think, have very
wisely settled the fire department ques
tion. The system adopted is net an ex
periment, being in operation in many
towns. Of course, its efficiency will de
pend upon the management and the per
sonnel of the force. If the citv is for
tunate enough te secure a chief of the
fire department who has the requisite
energy and intelligence for the pest, we
have no fear that the new system will
net weik well. The establishment of a
telegraph lire alarm service is one which
has been tee long delayed. It is te be
said for the present department that its
efficiency has been far greater than the
city had a right te expect in view of the
small encouragement it afforded the fire
men te de their volunteer work.

Let Them Answer.
It occurs te us that several gentlemen
in this state have use for the interven
tion of' jury between themselves and the
independent candidate for state treasu
rer. Several remarks have been made
by Mr. Wolfe of a highly libelous char
acter if untrue, and against men who
ought te ba anxious te defend their fair
fame before the people of the state. At
the head of these stands Governer Hey t,
Who is distinctly declared by Mr. "Wolfe
te have med the money of the state in
speculation ; and it is f urthermeie stated
that he agreed te the pardon of Kemble
and urgi.1 ins friend and Attorney Gen
eral Palmar te agree te it, though they
were bith convinced that the pardon
was uudd?ervel; the motive for thus
acting in violence of conscience and oath
bain: course an unworthy one, though
its nature is net specifically stated.
There is quite enough iu these accusa
tions te call the governor te arms. He
cannot permit them te pass unnoticed.
He is a man of intelligence and supposed
integrity. B jth ha and t!is attorney gen
eral are far above the mark of their
close political associates in both
these qualities. These associates being
in bad odor with the people, Mr.
Wolfe's allegations against the governor
and attorney general who keep such
company will net be rejected until dis
proved. It is tee likely that they have
been placed under obligations from
which they have consented te free them
selves at the cost of their honor and
duty. It is very remarkable that the
attorney general, who se vigorously
urged the prosecution of Keinble, should
agree te his pardon. Let the accused
speak.

in the lower heuse of the Legislature, was
drowned in the Schuylkill, below the
Zoological Garden, early last evening.
Persons who witnessed the occurrence
state that Mr. Law, who is president of
University Barge club, had been rowing
up and down in a shell for some time, and
upon reaching the point named the frail
craft capsized. Its occupant immediately
sank, and did net again rise te the surface.
Captain Chasteau, of the Park Guard, was
notified of the occurrence, and sent a
beat's crew te drag for the body. After a
half hour's work the remains were re
covered, and conveyed te the late home
of the deceased at 1212 Walnut street.
Ilis drowning seems strange, when the fact
is considered that he was an expert swim
mer, and had frequently rescued persons
who ventured out beyond their depth at
watering places.
Mr. Law was born November 30, 1847.
He was educated at private schools, as well
as at Harvard cnllerrn nnrl Mm unlrarclfv
of Pennsylvania. He studied law. and was
admitted te practice at the bar October 8,
1872. He entered thn TTnite1 Sfofen e-.

the Seventh cavelry, and was promoted te
first lieutenant March 11, 1809,but resigned
March 22 1870. Deceased was net mar

father is a well-known citizen of Philadel
phia. Although Mr. Law served but two
terms in the Legislature, he proved him
self au active and efficient member. He
took a conspicuous part in the fight against
the passage of the Pittsburgh riot bill, and
also strongly advocated the abolifen of the

his self-convicted friends Kemble and the

himself was compelled te abandon the

When Lieutenant Governer Stene and
Attorney General Palmer had refused te

doers of the penitentiary were opening te

laws from justice, and the furious Kemble
threatened dire vengcance in the expos

did net grant immediate relief : wheu the

But, eh, what disappointment ! They do de

President AitTiirit's intervention in
New Yerk politics is net perceptible in
the results of the Republican state con
vention, except in the quietude of his
Stalwart friends under the severe maul
ing they received. It is obvious that Mr.
Arthur's wish is that there shall be a
solid union of his party; but he wili net
be able te recognize such a union as en.
ceur.iged by a convention which insists
upon rewarding only his opponents. He
went te New Yerk under the conviction
that his power as president would amply
suffice te put his Stalwart friends in New
Yerk at least en an equality with the
Half Breeds who, as the friends of Gar
field, had temporarily achieved the as
cendeiicy in the state. There docs net
anything appear in the work. of the con cen con
tien te encourage the belief that Presi
dent Arthur's intervention had the
slightest influence. There is bleed en
the face of the Republican moon.
It has been rumored that the President

latter into his cabinet as secretary of the
treasury and keeping Blaine where he

spoiled by Blaine, who was willing te
make friends with Conkling, but would
have none of Grant. The story does net
seem te be a very likely one ; but it is
s sustained by the very apparent fact that
the disposition for conciliation seems te
been the side of the friends of the
present administration. Arthur and
Conkling clearly show their anxiety te
fix up a truce with their enemies ; but
the enemy whom Blaine leads are bellig
"erent. They were se when they were in

Outrage. and Death of His Victim.
Jehn street, in the Seventh ward, this city,
a highway that leads iu toward the south
east, from East King street at the point
made by junction with Middle, was the
scene of an awful traeedv at 11 rvVlrvt
last night, the like of which has net, hap
pily, beeu kuewn in ear city for many
years. Ihechiet actor in it was Ed. San
ders, well known in police circles and
whose name has frequently figured as de
fendant in the criminal courts of this
county Re has been a dangerous and
desperate character, as our local officers
well kuew, and the last infamy
with which his narae is linked

who came te a most horrible death, was a

The Victim.
Jehn Seymour is a well-known coach
man and estler of this city. He was for
merly in the employ of Hen. Thes. E.
Franklin, but had te be dismissed some
time age for dissoluteness. At times he
and his wife lived together, and at ether
times his habits were such that his neglect

herself, and, even that failing, she would
seek public charity in the almshouse. She
was a woman of about S3. Her maiden
name was Quade aud she came from the
country, according te ene report ; another,
and probably the true one, is that her name
was Dempsey or Dumpty and her father
has a farm en Turkey Hill. She was be
trayed years age and left home upon the
disclosure of her shame. Her first and
illegitimate child was bem at the alms
house, where she sought refuge. After that
she met and married Seymour, who left
her seen after the birth of her last
child. She has a married sister, Barbara
, residing in Quarryvillc, and a
cousin, Jehu Riley, in (cw Jersey. Beyond
these her relatives are net known. Her
inree children Emma, aged 11, Daisy
aged 4 and Johnny aged 2 years aud
2 months she has kept with her in her
desertion, her poverty and her struggles
te maintain herself. About threo mnti.e
age she left the almshonse for the last
time, and Superintendent Jehn Breck says
he was sorry te see her go aud always
glad when she came, she was such an ex
cellent worker and se industrious and
faithful a wemau in all the departments
orheusehold labor. Mr. B. says she was
fend of men's cerapauy, but he knew
nothing te her disrepute. She was always
averse te being the subject of public char
ity and uevcr lest any opportunity which
opened te cam an independent livelihood.
Finding a chaiice te rent a heuse cheap en

invalid woman from the . almshouse,

of Willow Street, with her. te whom

care of her children when she wnnt nut
washing and otherwise working. The
heuse was furnished iu the mcagercst
and scantiest manner and only these who
saw it could realize that a family of five
persons could live w'ith se few of the ne
cessaries oflife. It seems that from this
humble home Mary Seymour went forth
almost daily te whatever employment she
could find ; and among her neighbors she
bore a geed name aud with theso for whom
she worked she had the reputation of be
ing industrious and faithful.
The Crime.
Philip Rogers, alias "Fop" Rogers, a
young man whose associations are none of
the best, and who leads a kind of vanmni
life in that neighborhood, used te "hang
around Mr?. Seymour's heuse a
geed deal, and the neighbors say
she was went te ask him in and
give him a bite te eat and a reef te
cover him. Last evening he was at the
house and seems te have been asleep in
the back room. According te all the re
ports of what followed Ed. Sanders, who
is intimate with Rogers though no con
nectien between them last night can be
traced came te the house seme time be
fore 11 o'clock last night. Mre. Seymour
was in the front room, down-stairs, it is
a one-story frame house attending
te Adelaide Robinson, and was in
the act of administering her medicine,
when Sanders knocked at the window and
asked te be let in. It seems that Sanders
had never visited the heuse before, except
once te run through it ; as the neighbors
testify, "she hated the sight of him." Mrs.
Seymour heard him knock and "call and
recognized the voice. She refused te let
him in, said Mrs. Robinson was sink
aud needed her attention, no urged
her again aud again te open the
deer and finally told her he wanted te tell
her "something very particular." Thus
appealed te, she consented, and opening
the deer he entered. Almest immediately
he fell upon her and fiercely assaulted her.
She screamed and struggled and resisted
all his efforts of persuasion or force te out
rage her porsea. Finally he ferciblv ever
came her and accomplished his vile pur
poses.

Meanwhile Rogers, who had been
dozing in the kitchen, was awak
ened by lhe screams and strug
gles,and looking iu the deer was affrighted
by what he saw in the front room, and,
sneaking out the back deer and across the
let, fled the scene. It does net appear
that he had any further cognizance of the
crime nor any knowledge of its fatal re
sults, until the officers, who learning of his
presence, went in search of him, found
him seated between two tramps and hid

Finally Mrs. Seymour get loose from her

ncighbrhoed heard it. Adjoining the
