LiKj-: e.- s I2' Is IS LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1881. rs"rT 2Lanrastcr Ittfdlcgenrrr. THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. 27, 1881. Twe Kinds of Xentralitj. The Londen Times says amen te Sec retary Blaine's argument in favor of the neutrality of the Panama canal, but fails te see hew the guarantee of that neutral ity by European powers will weaken it. It says : " The neutralizing of the canal would be for the bcneOt of all the States of the world, and we fail te gather from this communication any solid objection te allowing European powers te join in a work universally desirable. Every ad ditional guarantor would strengthen the guarantee. Every new party te the treaty would be a fresh security that the canal would net be blockaded or used as a basis for hostile operations in time of war, and it seems a little inconsistent in one and the same breath te argue for a guarantee and te insist that the bill shall net be backed by mere than two names. The Tina fails te gather Mr. Blaine's idea of the neutrality we want te guarantee, of at least it pretends te. The secretary makes it very appar ent that hs do23iiet propose any neutral ity in the canal when the United States of America or Colombia are at war. Then the canal is te be for the exclusive use of these two powers under the secre tary's interpretation of the American doctrine, as we understand him ; he compares the canal te a railroad in our country, and asks whether any ether nation would claim the right te use it in war operations against u.s. The Times probably has a keener suspicion of Mr. Blaine's real intent than it assumes te have, since it says that " were England te concede formally that she had no locus xhnuli in regard te such a guaran tee it would be difficult for her te reply te any American statesman who might cheese te say hereafter : ' The govern ments of the two republics are alone parlies te the treaty. '"What they have made they can tear up. The neutrality of the canal is for the time suspended.' " That is undoubtedly just what Eng land will cencede if she admits the force of the American secretary's logic. The honest fact is that our civilization de mands that this great work, if it is suc cessfully completed, shall be held te be neutral by all nations, in times of war, and that it shall be used by none, or by all, for warlike purposes. Otherwise it certainly will be subject te danger of demolition by the powers sought te be excluded from its use. If the United Slates maintain Secretary Blaine's posi tion it must be done in war by force of our anus. Under his preposition we take t lie responsibility for the safety of the meat work. He makes it practic ally as much the object of our concern as though it really was en American soil : and therefore it is just that much a proper object of our enemy's assaults. It seems that the wisest policy would be te proclaim the absolute neutrality of the canal, for then it would be safe, without defence, against every assault. Key and Tyucr. It must Le conceded that the admis sion by the late Postmaster General Key that he had received the report of his first assistant. Tyner, en the star route?, and had ordered its suppression, relieves Air. Tyner from responsibility for that act. Certainly he could net publish Sr, or put it en file, or act upon it in any way, when his chief forbade him. He could, huv.-ttvcr, have resigned Jiis ellice if he had considered that a wrong was being done the government, and he would have explained the cause Of his resignation. A man of the best temper and disposition would se have acted; but it is mere ban can reasonably be e.pested from the ordinary office holder. It would have been damaging te the administration and the party with which Mr. Tyner acts and have demol ished his position in it, besides making him the target of the powerful postefiice ring of corruplienists who would have been shown te control the administra tion. Probably it never entered into Tyner's head te perform any such re markable feat of political honesty. Doubtless he was quite content when he considered that the postmaster general had taken from hi.i shoulders the respon sibility of silence as te the wrongs being done. It is net lobe supposed that he sought even te dissuade his amiable chief from hi:; course, neivdid he seek te convince him of the rascality of the things he reported. Fer Mr. Key new says that he investigated the matter and found that Brady's proceedings were strongly based en statements and affi davits of important public personages, and he came te the conclusion that they were all right. Tyner admits that he knew they were all wrong. Presum ably he could have se convinced the postmaster general if he had tried, and have shewu him the falseness and fraud in the documentary evidence which de ceived the department head. However innocent of actual wrong-doing himself, "Mr. Tyner cannot pose before us as a vigorous and vigilant fee of the wrongs of ethers that he had knowledge of. The Halting President. Seme people seem te think that Presi dent Arthur intends te make a sort of moving panorama of his cabinet. Mor gan was te be made secretary of the treasury te introduce Conkling. New Judge Felger, of New Yerk, is proposed for the treasury, te be graduated in December, 1SSi when Justice Hunt retires, into the supreme court of the United States, and te be succeeded in the cabinet by the same inevitable Conkling. Se the ether cabinet offices are te be filled in a way te gradually introduce the intense Stal wartism that Arthur represents. Seme folks think the president would de bet ter if he consulted his timidity less. And perchance lie would ; still he cannot be expected te forget the lessens he learned in the long practice of the underhand ways of the New Yerk politician. As his nature is se will his action be. Te advance by indirection is a favorite method of the astute politician, and is se often successful that it may net te rashly condemned iu Arthur. What he wants te de is te make his administra tion successful and strong and profitable te his friends. The task is a great one and excuse much hesitation of move ment in its execution. It is hardly one te encourage the thought of much bold ness in its performance. si Oxtva dozen days intervene b&tween new and the state election. Theysheuld b3 actively employed te geed purpose by geed Democrats. Te get out the vote is the present aim of well-directed effort. Let it be attended te. The mayor of Pittsburgh vetoes every ordinance granting telegraph companies the right te erect poles in the city, and is making a determined effort te force them te lay their wires underground. The United States senate has had sixty two presidents pre tem. Of these thirty one were from the Seuth, and, wonderful te relate, only two from Ohie. These gen tlemen were Benjamin F. "Wade and Allen G. Thurman. Anetiikr heresy trial iu the Methodist Episcopal church is imminent. The Rev. Dr. Burns, who occupies the important position of principal of the Wcslcyan Female college iu Hamilton, Ontario, has expressed sympathy with the Bev. Dr. Themas, of Chicago. Tun Philadelphia county medical se ciety has decided that henccfert'i women practitioners may be eligible te member shin under its rules. This decision was reached at a crowded meeting of tiie or ganization, including many of the lending lights of the profession, which was held a few nights age. Only one year age the same body voted down a similar proposi preposi tion by a large majority. A fixi: new stiver moon hung iu the cloudless heavens last evening. Like its two immediate predecessors, it leeks like a "wet moon." These ethers were of no earthly geed as weather prophets. The fact that this moon is net quite se wet as they, in appearance, may possibly indicate that it will witness wetter weather. What an unfortunate year this has been for weather prophets, whether moons or men ! Tin: Doylcstewn Democrat says of Mr. Wolfe's charges against Governer lleyt : " About the truth or falsity of these charges wc knew absolutely nothing, but wc knew Governer lleyt se well, that wc are net prepared te believe them without evidence. Wc served with him the greater part of the war, where all the evil and crookedness iu man's character arc sine te come out, sooner or later ; and in the varied relations wherein we encountered him, we saw nothing but evidence of the highest private au;l public integrity. Wc cannot, and de net believe that Governer lleyt would sell his geed name, and pros titute the great office he holds, in the manner Wolfe charges, or any iu ether ; nor de we think the people of Pennsylvania will believe it." Ni:w Yejikkks arc agaiu talking about improved homes for artisans and mechanics and iu sensible fashion, tee the induce ments held out for building them being net only philanthropy but five per cent. Improved homes there necessarily take the form of tenement houses the cost of building lets being tee great te permit any except wealthy people te live hi separate houses in the heart of the city. But the tenement hoiue can be made iu the end quite as profitable as it is new if care is taken te make it entirely healthful, decent and attractive. Self-interest, as well as feelings of humanity, require a concerted movement te improve the tenement houses in Xew Yerk as in Londen. The Phila delphia system, however, of separate homes for the great majority is better than any el these big enterprises. PERSONAL. The Czar of Rusia is an epicure.

ICE IN THIS ATLANTIC. A Huge nerg Slowly kleattng Towards the Track or European Vessels. A special dispatch from St. Jehir"s,X.FM says : The British clipper brigantine Isabella Helen, of Plymouth, England, Captain Stevens, arrived at this pert last night, after a passage through terrific storm and furieu3 sea, protracted ever fertydays from Bristel. On Tuesday last the sea, making a clean breach ever the vessel, washed overboard the cook and sf e ward. The gale, varying from southwest te northeast, never abated during twenty days in its destruc tive violence. The bulwarks of the vessel, blabered by heavy beam seas, were swept away or snauereu, her sails were tern into shreds, and nothing but the strong part of the main hull re mains intact. On Saturday last, at neon, with Cape Race bearing north-northwest, distant ninety-three miles, the Isabella Helen fell iu with the floating wreck of some ship that had recently met her deem in one et these tsmfic ocean storms that every day arrivals are putting en record. Pieces of the mainsail, portions of bul warks, with stanchions attached, and sec tions of a ship's side, apparently new, were observed floating about ou cither side. The inside of the bulwarks was white painted, the outside was black. The approximate estimate of the size of the vessel was 300 tens. fr The vanguard iceberg of the huge Arc tic armada new sailing southward along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland made its appearance this morning oil the harbor of St. Jehn's. It is one of twenty three huge masses of glacial drift ice re ported during tne past twenty days as slowly but surely deploying downward across the track of European aud Ameri can commerce, and ranging in their long drawn hue at present between the parallels of 52 and 47.50 north. The berg new in sight from the harbor of St. Jehn's is about four teen miles distant, bearing southeast. It is et cnormens dimensions, being net less than a quarter of a mile in length, and searing through one of its turrets te an altitude of 300 feet. Thferc is a vast pla tcair rising net mere than a few feet from thc,surface of the sea, extending about 200 fret from its southern side. Its mean rate te-day, with a head wind from the south ward, is appremimatcly two and three quarters of a mile per hour. Navigators between America aud Europe will seen require te keep a vigilant outlook for this formidable invader of the domain of commerce. LATEST NEWS BY MAIL.

A Serious Subject for Fire CuiiunlMiuiicrs te Deal With. The question of the safety of the electric liht wires, as cf present arranged, is be ginning te excite the attention of the fire commissioners. In New Yerk yesterday one of the wires came in contact with a fire telegraph wire down town, the power ful current from the former flashed into the alarm box in William street, near New Chambers street, aud destroyed it. On Monday the woodwork theentraucc of the Germania theatre, at Broadway and Thirteenth street, was set en fire by the accidental breaking of the material insulat ing the wire that feeds the electric lamps ever the deer. The unprotected wire came in contact with seme lead ornaments which were quickly melted, and the wood work was set en fire. The fire commis sioners fear that when the wires, which are new new, become old and worn, much trouble will result There is another difficulty with the elec tric light wires. If it should be necessary for the firemen te cut them from the reef of a burning house, they would run the risk of losing their life in the work. It is necessary te cut the wires with a wooden handled instrument te protect the man ; but should the weed happen te be wet, as it is very apt te be at a fire, it would be come a conductor, and the strong elect: ic current might kill a man, just as a flash of lightning would. The utmost care has heretofore been exercised, but serious harm may result at any moment. The fire commissioners have the matter seri ously under discussion. ' Unanimously Democratic." The local election in Baltimore yester day resulted in the cleetien of the whole Democratic ticket, including mayor, judge of appeals and city ceuucilmen. The city council is unanimously Demo cratic. The total vote for ceuucilmen aggregated nearly 38,000, of which the" Democrats polled 23,000, Independent Democrats 5400, and Republicans ncarlv 8000. " BOGUS BRILLIANTS. People TVne Wear Imitation Diamonds A Congressman's "Spark" Cincinnati Times-Star. " Hew de your diamonds compare with the genuine?" "Put them side by side and you can't tell them apart. Let me show you sam ples. " and the dealer turned te his iron safe and get out a box of unset " dia dia meus" of about three carats each. Hand ing the scribe a dainty pair of tweezers, he requested him te examine the stones be fore the light. The reporter picked up one of the gems as carefully as though it were a $20,000 steue, and held it before his optics. It sparkled brilliantly, was cut perfectly and anybody but an expert would suppose it te be a genuine diamond. The reporter was tempted te slip thesjone up his sleeve, until he asked the price of it, when getting the reply "$1, "he dropped it as though it was poisonous. " Here are some thirty beauti ful specimens," remarked the merchant as he unfolded another paper and laid before the scribe a half dozen stones about the size of a deer knob. " These are worn principally by gamblers, ea account of their cxtraeidinary size. "They come a great deal higher than these ethers I have shown you. I sell thesc-at $2.50 apiece, or a pair of them for a serio-cemic singer's earrings at $4.' They are exceedingly brilliant, you see, and at night shine like a locomotive head light. Here are a let of little diamonds that sell from 25 te 75 cents each." " Are these made of paste or fish scales?" " Oh, no ; I never deal in paste goods. These stones come from the Sierre Nevada meun tains, and are cut and polished in New Yerk, and some are even sent te Paris te be cut and are then returned te this coun try. They arc the best imitation of the diamond made, and retain their brilliancy forever. Net being as hard as the diamond, care has te be taken in net getting them scratched." " Yeu remarked before that the trade was sinmlv immense. I suppose that the second or middle class of society are the greatest pur chasers of these imitations?" "That's where you're wrong. The principal buy ers and wearers of "snide" diamonds are these who move iu the highest society aud I'll tell you the reason why. Let a lady who counts her wealth by the hundreds of thousands appear in public with a pair of six or eight carat " diamond" earrings, and people never suspect that they are " snide." They imagine that because the wearer is wealthy she weuid never djr grade herself by wearing $2 diamonds, but such is the case. Hundreds of times have I matched cenurne diamonds for high toned ladies, and it was actually impossi ble te tell them apart. Yeu sec, when a person of wealth wears " snide" diamonds you cau hardly make people believe that they are anythiiig else then genuine, while en the ether hand, let a person in mere re duced circumstances wear genuine dia monds and everybody they meet will turn up their noses and remark that they are " snide." Se that t! is is the reason the peeple of wealth can threw en se much style with very little expense. "And Cincinnati people arc great en 'snide' diamonds." "Well, I should re mark that they arc. They beat any ether city in the L'nien. Yeu bet that they take the 'diamonds.' Let rac tell you some thing. New, this is befewcea you and I, and I don't want it te go into print. There is a member of Congress from this district whom I prescnte 1 with a blazing six-carat diamond. Its cost price was $2.47. That congressman fastened that pin securely te his immaculate shirt front and went te Washington, where iu less than a week he created such a sensation with his massive diamond that the Wash ington correspondents even wrote about the valuable soltaire worn by General I came very near giving his name away, the member of Congress from the district of Ohie. This congressman never wears his ' diamond ' while in Cin cinnati, but it is never missing from his shirt besom while in Wash ingten. Mrs. cx-Se.nater of Ken tucky, appeared in Washington with a magnificent pair of solitaire earrings, aud set society there wild about the beautiful jewels. Everybody was talking about them, and a great many placed the value of the earrings at no less' than $10,000. Many an old man's pnekctboek was pinched iu satisfying his darling's desire tJ 'compete with Mrs. ex-Scuater m the way of diamonds. The funny part of it i-j that these diamonds worn by the distinguished lady came from my show case, and only cost her $20. The setting was 14 karat geld, and the diamonds were worth about $3.50. Oh, I tell you, Mie description iu diamonds is great. All the prominent actresses of to day wear cheap diamonds, the cntiic col lection net being worth ever $35 ; but still they have a couple of detective's te travel with them for the purpose of pro tecting their jcAcl cases. Of conse this is done simply te make the public believe that the jewel casket is extremely valu able. Yeu might net bolicve it when I tell you that nine tenths of the diamonds new arc imitation and that often persons pay bin prices for imitation diamonds that arc guaranteed by the dealers te be genu ine. "ILLY INFATUATION. A schoolgirl's Einjieincnt antl The Kcault. Justice of the Peace Hayes, of New Haven, Connecticut, ou Wednesday of last week married Geerge Clayten Allyn te Florence E. Harding. Allyn is 34 aud the bride IS. Allyn told the justice that he was a commercial traveler from Phila delphia and that the girl belonged inr Bos Bes Bos eon. After the ceremony he sard he forget te bring any money with him but that he would return the next day and pay for the treuble the justice had been te. He did net keep his word, and it was subse quently learned that the coin he had paid the register of vital statistics for a license haft a hole in it that had been plugged up with tin foil. These facts Were published in a local Sunday newspaper, and read by the girl's mother, Mrs. E. C. Harding, keeper of a bearding house at 187 Geerge street, this city. She at once ordered Allyn aud her daughter out of the house, and the couple have net been heard from since Sunday night. It seems that Allyn ence peddled a ca tarrh remedy through the country. Mrs. Harding's daughter, who had been at a bearding school, rcturned te her mother's home in Springfield, Mass., last spring. She was an accomplished pianist. Allyn mother at a musicale in Springfield and three weeks later she eloped with him, and for six weeks was lest te her mother. She then wrete that she had been married te Allyn in New Britain, Conn. This was in May last. In August, Mrs. Harding gave up her position as matron of the Heme for the Friendless in Springfield and came te join her daughter and Allyn, who were bearding in this city. With the mother's money a bearding house was opened here. Allyn would de no work, but lived with Mrs. Harding and her daughter in idleness. Despite repeated lequcsts of the mother he did net produce a certificate of the alleged marriage. Mrs. Harding finally threatened te drive him out unless he obtained a certificate that he had married her daughter. Then it was that en Wednesday last he took the girl te Justice Hayes' effice and had the ceremony performed! Mrs. Harding did net notice the date of the certificate, and her daughter was se completely in Allyn's power that she kept quiet the fact that she had just learned, viz., that the New Brit ain marriage had been a mock one. The newspaper publication of what had oc curred in Justice Hayes' effice opened the mother's eyes, and the ejectment of the couple from the house followed after Allyn had confessed that the ether cere meny was a fraud. The Wnlte Heuse. The President will take possession of the White Heuse about the latter end of November. Early in November he ex pects te make a brief trip te New Yerk te wind up his business affairs, and then he will ceme te stay. Meanwhile, the White Heuse is being repainted, refresceed and refurnished. The papering of the walls and frescoing en the ceiling of the Green Roem are new nearly completed, and ap pear te great advantage. The paper is the palest shade of green between an apple green and Nile green. Leaves of this tint are defined en a ground of geld. The ceiling has the centre of a similar hue of green and a bronzed olive frieze en a back ground of old geld, with a bread top and bottom and gilt moldings. In each corner is a beautiful but impossible bird of a spscies unknown te naturalists, but which may be classed as a "decorative bird." It has the feet of a stork, a pink body, and one wing, a tall red comb, a long red bill, and a fish's tail. As the colors harmonize well, viewed as a whole, the bird makes a pretty ornament, though absurd as a representation of any known creature. The furniture of this parlor will be the same charming shade of delicate green as the walls. The ceiling of the long corridor has been calcimined, and leeks very well.- Unfortunately the lift, which will be comparatively useless in a two story house, has cost se much that the appropriation will be insufficient te make all the needed repairs. This lift was specially designed for the use of Gen eral Garfield's aped mother, who new will never have the benefit of it. STATE ITEMS. " Founders' Day" at Lafayette college, Easlen, was appropriately observed yes terday. There seems te he a suicidal mania in Philadelphia, no less than three cases of self murder being reported from there yesterday. The second trial of Theodere J McGurk convicted in January, 1880, of murdering James Neads, a colored porter at White's Dental depot. Ne. 528 Arch street, en October 8, 1805, began yesterday morning in the court of eyer and terminer, at Phil adelphia before Judge Briggs.

Cedy, 13 years, all residing in the vicinity of Twenty fourth and Girard avenue, Philadelphia, left their homes, armed with revolvers, with the intention of going West te fight thclndians. Yel low covered literature is the secret of this crusade. ryner's Kesrsnatleu. First Assistant Postmaster General Tyner hacded in his resignation yesterday. He ebtaiued a written statement from Mr. James that his resignation was net called for en the grounds assigned by the public prints and that the charges against mm as te star rente matters had no foun dation. As it was te clear himself of this imputation that Mr. Tyner proposed te make a fight, the matter is new dropped aud Tyner cemes forward te exchange a resignation for a certificate of character. He has given te the public te night a long and dry statement regarding his official career. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. COUItT PROCEEDINGS. Ilerore Judge Patterson. Iu the case of Daniel Brua, Franklin Brna and Jehn Brua, vs. Geerge Bciler, the whole of yesterday aud this morning's sessions of court were taken up by plain t'uTs in hearing testimony te prove that the breast of defendant's dam was raised aud the plaintiffs were damaged thereby. In the case of Christian Maisser vs. Levi Sensenig, it was agreed by the parties te refer ttic case te a master. On trial, llefore Judge Livingston. Jacob Markley vs. Menreo J. Burk- hekler. David Kcatb, Reilly Shiplcr aud Jehn Leng. This case was attached yes terday. The plaintiff and Burkhelder aie owners of lands whrch adjoin, and are situated in Peun township. There is a dispute about the dividing line between the properties. After a survey was made aud a line was run by the surveyors, in the employ of the plaintiff, he moved the fence, as he alleged, te within an inch and a half of the line of the defendant. Burk Burk eolder claimed that the fence was placed en his land and he removed eleven panels. It was for the value of the fence ($25) that this action iu trespass is brought against defendant, and the man who arrested him in tearing down the fence. The defense was that defendant had given plaintiff notice that the fence was en defendant's line, aud he net removing it defendant had it taken down. It was claimed that the plaintiff by failing te re move the fence was a trespasser en de fendant's land and the latter had the right te take it down. On trial. Klpctlen Day November 8.

Last night the residence of Edward Frairu, 21 G East L?men street, was robbed of a quantity of jewelry, dresses, laces and ether apparel belonging te Mrs. Fraim.

A large and fashionable audience was present at the opera heuse last evening, when Mr.- Ferd's company appeared in Audran's "Mascette, " the latest produc tion of that composer's prolific pen, and one which has already attained consid erable popularity, though it will never gain the favor which signalized the same author's "Olivette." The action is net se quick, the humor far less sponta neous, depending largely upeu the efforts of the actors : and it is wanting, tee. in the many catchy little tunes that gave its pre decesser such a snug place in the popular stfectien. Take away the " Gobble " duet the "Orang-Ontang" song, the "Coach ing " chorus, and perhaps a few ethers, aud there are net many airs left that the average hearer would care te keep in his head or at his tongue's end, even if he could ; albeit some, though net many, of the mera sen timental passages are net without a beauty of their own. In point of vocal merit the company as a whole was net up te the standard of Ferd's previous presentations here. Miss Lucette, who sang the part of Bettina, the " Mascot," is a pleasant little lady with a pleasant little voice ; her medium tones are geed, her higher register nothing te brag of ; she is a clever actress and right here it may be said that the members of the company as a rule acted better than they sang and thereby kept the performance above the grade of mediocrity te which it else would have fallen. In the "Gobble" songsiie was particularly engaging and went plumb te the hearts of all the young chaps in the house. Miss May Stembler, infused plenty of life and vivacity into the part of Fiametta, aud made about as ridiculous a 'princess as the author could have desired. Her voice is of fair capacity aud has a premise for the future. She deserved an encore en her " Orang Orang outang," but the audience couldn't see it and permitted oue of the best num bers of the evening te pass un recognized. The men can't sing much. There are ue conspicuously geed voices among them and some are very bad. It is a kindness te Mr. Fitzgerald te assure him that he would have appeared te less disadvantage in the chorus than in the part of Pippe, which he tried te sing with Mich a modicum of success. His acting is net bad, though, aud saves his work from positive and egregious failure. Mr. Lang has mere than he can acceptably fulfill in the part of Prince Frederic; his voice does net get up te the top notes with any style at all, though as long as he keeps within the stave he docs very nicely. Mr. J. II. Rennie makes the part of Lorenze, the king, rearingly funny, aud sings it very fairly. The part iu his hands is an exaggeration of the grotesquely ri diculous. The rele of the Sergean t received capital treatment from our young friend Jehn M. Amwcg, who seems te have sur vived his St. Leuis episode without any ill effects and te thrive en thrashings at $1,500 apiece. The part is a miner one, but Jehn made all there was out of it, and acquitted himself in an entirely creditable manner. There is a geed bass veice in the company, credited en the bill te Mr. Luizi Carlbcrg, who had only a small part, however, and the audience didn't hear enough of him. The chorus was quite geed the " orchestra " very weak, consisting of one piano. Mr. Ferd's own judgment should teach him that the accompaniment of a single piano is entirely inadequate for the piepar produc tion of a work of this kind. Then there were long waits between theacts that were anything but pleasant. While, en the whole, last night's performance was agree able, it is susceptible of sundry improve ments, which Mr. Ferd should set abeu making if he is desirous of maintaining his reputation as a first class manager.
