LAKCASTEK PAIL? INTELLIGENCER TUESDAY APRIL 11 1882. ' K IV i i Eamastn hxtzlliitnctt TUE3DAY EVENING, apbHj 11, 186. We Walt Ter Ms Awer. As the editorial tripod of the Exam iner is a " red-het" seat-new-a-days, its editor may be excused for habitually and persistently misquetipg.andJzarbliiig the opinions of the Iktelxigexceb. wnat we have said was that in a controversy between our Bepublican contemporaries " the surrejeinder of the New Era is that the main issue in that campaign was that the editor of the Examiner had be trayed his constituents, violated his instructions and served- corrupt com bination for a corrupt consideration." Since it seems te have escaped the notice of the Examiner that the New Era al leged this." we reproduce from its cel umns the renewed allegation concerning which we are curious te hear what the editor of the Examiner has te say. According te the published biography of the editor of the Examiner he was elected te the state Senate in 1860. " These old enough te remember the cir cumstances all knew" that he was elected en an anti-corporation, anti-tonnage-tax-repeal issue, and that his constituents were opposed te that re peal ; that the convention which nomi nated him resolved, "that the, candi dates of the Senate and Heuse of Repre sentatives, settled by this convention, if elected, are hereby instructed te vote against all motions in any way favoring a repeal of the tonnage tax ; " that ' it was en that issue -he defeated Gen. Sheaffer for re-nomination te the Senate, the general being at that time the solici tor of the company." Nevertheless, in language as plain as could be made, the Express of 1861 charged that Hiestand " betrayed his constituents, violated bis instructions and served a corrupt combination for a corrupt consideration." It said : " A certain ' ring ' was formed at Harris barg last winter which had the control of certain corporate legislation in which the members of said ring were deeply in terested. Of course, a senator of our friend Ilk-stand's well known energy of character would be in a ' ring ' upon the successful workings of which such mo mentous interests were suspended as the repeal of the tonnage tax and the pas sage of the Sunbury and Erie bill." It said, tee, that " for the support of these measures " the sum paid te " each sen ator " was $5,000 " except these who violated the instructions of their con stituents " who get an extra $1,000 ; and theJVete Era, in republishing these serious charges, says the accused have never accepted the challenge te vindicate themselves. "Whether from net having been out of its " swaddling clothes " at that time, or net being " old enough te remember the circumstances," or for ether reasons, the Ix telligescek has net expressed any opinion about the truth of these charges, save that it would rather net believe them. All the same, it would be glad te hear the Examiner's denial of them. Dropping the Mask. The Virginia Readjusters, through their newspapers and ether political or gans, announce that they have gene ever, body andbreeches,notenlytothe Repub lican party,but te the federal administra tion ; and that their new gerrymander ing apportionment bill is designed te elect eight congressmen out of ten in Virginia who shall be committed and pledged te support President Arthur and his administration. Mahone announces as his shibboleth that hereafter men in Virginia " must be friends or enemies of President Arthur." And, according te Riddleberger, " Readjuster Republicans and Readjuster Democrats should hereafter be administration men." " This classification of the two parties will last as long as the administration approves the objects of the liberal party in Virginia, and shows its approval by confidence and assistance. The help al ready given will probably be continued If the administration can be shown that its confidence is returned." Frem the freebooters who make up the Mahone-Repudiation party nothing less than this ultimate "throwing off all disguise could have been expected. Every pretence of state reform is new seen te have been a fraud. Democrats who cannot be carried ever te the Re publican party are new expected te leave the Readjuster ranks, and Republicans who de net like te hear the crack of Mahone's whip may quit their old organ, izatien. He is in supreme command of the organization and the patronage in Virginia. Between him and Arthur there is a "reciprocal" relation, and the people of the whole country are invited te contemplate the spectacle of their national administration yoked up with the repudiatienists of Virginia and di. viding the spoils. It is hard te keep track of the deci sions of our supreme court en questions of contributory negligence in suits brought by persons who suffer injuries and who seek te recover damages from railroad companies. "We have lately seen that the court,having aforetime de cided that a railroad owed no duty te a trespasser upon its property, afterwards in the same case sought and found a less righteous ground than this upon which te reach the same determination of the case as before. Recently it has decided that a person crossing a railroad by a well known footpath, net a public cross ing, known te employees and officers of the company, and the use permitted without let or hindrance, cannot be re garded as a trespasser ; and it reaffirms the doctrine that " even a trespasser may have some rights which even a rail road company is bound te respect." m Tny. New Era probably does well te go out of the ticket-making business. Four years age It marked " a corrupt combination" for the benefit of Mentzer and McMellen and last year it was tainted with the scarcely less dishonor able fellowship of Sensenigand Jehnsen. Before the present beard of auditors has finished its work, however, it will discover flint. n mueli principle" is iiiv-j.. I ... J,L- a-Ii'ctie;i of a fit peiaun for county solicitor as in any question en TYkkh "it has already indicated its poli peli cy,!' and it would tb itself no discredit aioVrntebt atone t?6r .seme7 of its past mistakes in helping te elect as geed a man as Mr. Beyer te this highly impor tant office. The " sentimental" Republican papers andthe-church- conventions which are indulging in expressions of gratitude for the veto of the anti-Chinese bill, all proceed upon the assumption that the president has somehow indicated his op position te any restriction upon Chinese immigration. He has done no such thing. In accordance with the last Re publican national platform he has de clared himself in favor of a limit te that " evil of great magnitude," and a refer ence te the famous Herey letter will shewthat even Garfield put himself en the record substantially in favor of re strictive and exclusive legislation. That famous letter was as fellows : I take it that the question of empleyes is only a question of private and corporate economy, and individuals or companies have the right te buy labor where they can get it cheapest. We have a treaty with the Chinese government which should be religiously kept, until its previsions are abrogated by the action of the general government, and I am net prepared te say that it should be abrogated until our greajt manufacturing interests are conserved in the matter of labor. In Garfield's reply te Chairman Jewell, denouncing the Merey letter as a forgery, he said, " its stupid and brutal senti ments I never expressed or entertained." New what were its " stupid and brutal" sentiments in the estimation of Mr. Garfield's party ? The World calls attention te the grat ifying and significant fact that by far a majority of the emigrants new teeming towards America, in greater numbers than ever, are able-bodied men who come here with the certainty that their labor, being productive and necessary, will be rewarded ; and that most of them bring with them mere or less capital, which is, however, scarcely worth reck oning compared with the advantages of their skilled labor te a country with the grand capabilities afforded by the United States. The objective point of our immi grant industry is almost entirely the de velopment of our agricultural resources, and in that aspect it is te be most cef dially welcomed. Agriculture is the basis of our wealth and permanent prosperity. In it there can be no dangerous competition, no disastrous ever-production. It is the independent, self-supporting pursuit of man. The difference between the immi grants who come in at our Eastern gates and these who are te be excluded at the Western, is that the latter bring nothing into this country, and the former take nothing out of it. Governer Fester has appointed April 27 as a day for the planting of forest trees in Ohie by the readside, in groves and about homes. Maj. R.H. FensTER has withdrawn from the Centre Democrat, and his place is filled by J. R. Van Ormer. S. T. Shugert re tains his interest in the paper and it ex pects te he as enterprising as ever. Tnc Press speaks of Arthur's appoint ment of "Worthington for collector at Bos Bes Bos eon as "a factional appointment, made apparently te aid a faction ; the nomination is one which has no justification." But neither the Press nor any ether II. B. organ has designed te point out wherein this appointment differs from Garfield's appointment of Robertsen as collector of New Yeik. New that a new investigation is te be bad by the New .Yerk Metropolitan mu seum into the charges originally published J iu the Art Amateur, alleging improper restorations iu the Cesnela collection of Cypriote antiquities, that magazine iu the April number discusses at length the new evidence in the case, and gives a supple ment illustrating some of the startling transformations the statuary has under gone. The Bristel Observer enters upon its twelfth year with every indication of de served prosperity. "Whatever meed of success has fallen te our esteemed Bucks county contemporary has been wen by honest devotion te the legitimate sphere of local journalism. In the home field it has been wide awake in gleaning the news and presenting it in attractive shape, and as an exponent of Democratic dectrine it has spoken with no uncertain sound. A STOWAWAY.

ApRores of the suggestion that one of the committee en textbooks of the Reading school beard cannot read or write, the Recerd thinks that " for all that, he may be the most efficient of the members of the committee. He certainly knows hew te value education as a man values his dinner who is obliged te go without his dinner. It is net se very many years age that the state of Pennsylvania elected a canal commissioner who was quite as deficient in the knowledge of the schools, but he was fully up te the measure of his associates in business aptitude, and ahead of them in natural abilities. It is very much te knew hew te read and write, but it is net all." One great scientific problem has been solved. The French Biological society decides that a man is 'dead drunk" when the vital fluid presents the nroner- tien of 1 of alcohol te 195 of bleed. It is at this stage that most drunkards ceasb drinking, or we would have mere deaths from alcoholism ; for when the inebriate continues te drink until each 100 parts of bleed contains one part of alcohol, death invariably ensues. But science is net te have a rest, for the "Washington Republic insists upon knowing why Professer Elliett, in his admirable and at times racy monograph en the Alaska snal fisheries, always speaks of the male seals as bulls, of the female seals as cows and of their young as "pups." Ik 1881 there were expended within the Kingdom the following sums for drink : Beer, $364,045,710 ; British spirits, $143, 653,595; foreign spirits, $49,775,590; wine, $70,401 405 ; British wines, $7,500, 000. The total is $635,372,300 as com pared with $611,396,375 for 1830. During the past ten years the expenditure upon intoxicating drinks is estimated at $7,180, 000,000. Estimating the indirect cost and losses resulting from drinking at $500,000,- 000 annually, the total cost and less te the British nation from its drink expendi ture is ever $1,200,000,000 yearly. The statistics show that in the last twenty-five years the evils which chiefly result from drink, crime, pauperism and lunacy have gained ground, and that the Britain of to day is actually worse off, in spite of the moral agencies that are presumed te be in operation te check intemperance, than the Britain of 1857.

Prince GoRTScnAserr's final, irrevoca ble, positively last retirement from the pest of prime minister of Russia is an nounced. This event has happened se often that no ene will believe it as long as the wise old chancellor lives. Prince Bismarck, having lately entered en bis sixty-nintu year has been ever whelmed with the congratulations of his friends. " I would answer you all with my own hand," he says, genially, " but my fingers are weak and I can scarcely put pen te paper." Miss Charlette Thompson, the ac tress, is playing in Pittsburgh and the geed people of that city are awakened te the fact that the lady is no "spring chick en" by the publication in one of the papers of a programme in which she appeared in that city as a "star" en the 25th of De cember, 1862. Dean Bradley has issued a statement concerning the memorial window te the late Dean Stanley subscribed te by Americans. He says the list of subscribers thoroughly bears out the statement of Rev. Philip Brooks as te its widely representa tive character, and it would be invidious te make a selection ; but it is interesting te remark that the name of Henry "W.Leng fellow, following that of Oliver "Wendell Helmes, is followed by these of Ralph Walde Emersen and Jehn G. "Whittier, Dorset's bail has been forfeited, and it is understood in Washington that he has sold all his property in New Mexico, and that he has cither geno into old Mexico or some ether country whence he cannot be extradited. It is also said that Dersoy has made some four or five million dollars out of the Star Routes, aud that Brady, who helpcd him in his schemes, is almost penniless, a sncriu having levied upon some of his property last week and carried it off. Bradt is all brekeu up, te use a common expression, and has lest a great deal of money in unfortunate specula tiens. Judge Advocate General Swaim is net yet sixty.-two years old, te that the World thinks he will have te be retired by some ether means than through the proposed law of which General Sherman is the prospective target. The Albany Law Jour nal fairly flays the judge advocate general and cites English and American cases by the dozen te illustrate its text that " the judge advocate general has Buffered his pTejudices and emotions te ruu away with his legal judgment" in the Masen case, and that he " has wrested his quotations from Dr. "Wharten from their context. That learned author nowhere lays down such a preposterous doctrine as the judge advocate general seeks te imply, but his citations and his conclusions are all te the contrary." Itecerds of Disaster. Jacob Lister, while bathing in a pond en Sunday evening near Atlanta, Ga., was seized with cramps and drowned. "W. A. Hulbert, president of the Chicago ball club, and of the National baseball league, died of heart disease and dropsy at Chicago. Peter Flaherty, a carpenter, 25 years old, employed en the Garfield building at Brooklyn, N. Y., fell through a hatchway and was killed. Ella Ching, aged 56 years, residing en "Westminster avenue, north of Ffty-third street, Philadelphia, was found drowned in the ever-flowed cellar of her resi dence. "Walter Pearl, aged 65 years, and his youngest son, Benjamin, aged 25 years, were drowned at Halifax, N. S., while at tempting te cress Chester bay in a small beat. The dam across the Reck river at Janes ville, "Wis., was swept away by the water and in censequence the wheels of eleven mills and factories are stepped. Rev. Lorenze Barber, who was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun near Trey, N. Y., was well known as the "fighting Chaplain" et Berden's sharp shooters during the rebellion. The brother of James Gilliland, who was buried two weeks age, came from a distance and had the body exhumed and found that it bore evidences of having been buried alive. The body was turned te ene side and the face was scratched from evi dent struggling. , Infamous Jobs en Hand. American. An infamous job at the expense of the Indians is still en the carpet in Colerado and another is proposed in Minnesota. The lands of the Utes in the former state have been seized in large quantities by white squatters ; and the state government, in stead of asking hew it may restore these lands te their proper owners, is occupied with plans te get their owners te abdicate their rights te the squatters. In Northern Minnesota and Dakota, the Dakotas still held possession of valuable forest lands, of which a bill new before Congress seeks te dispossess them. They are te be crowded into the "White Earth reserva tion, in Minnesota, and the lands sold off by auction for their benefit, whether they wish it or net. And the people of the neighborhood charge that the bill is se drawn as' te enable a ring of capitalists, through this suddeu and unreserved sale, te get possession of the pine, lands of these reservatieasVat a , mere fraction of their value. "-" " ' -i AGCIOSKTS AND HTCtDKXTS OF DAIbT LUTX. Strange Family Bereavement Feli tn the Coffee Lesses by fire. Until a week age the family of Matthias Burkert, of Cressona. contained fourbevs. aged respectively nine, seven, five and. two" years. Last Monday the eldest complained" ei iu neaun and died en Wednesday. "While the parents were attending the funeral en Geed Friday the third in age died and the second in age was taken sick. He also died en Saturday. A few hours later the youngest was stricken down and died, thus making three corpses in the family at the same time and the fourth death in five days. The attending physicians pronounce the cases te have been malignant scarlet fever. Poison In the Coffee. Mary Beeth, 14 years old, and Martha Jenes, a colored woman, have been arrest ed and committed te jail in Surrey county, Va., en the charge of being concerned in the murder of Mrs. R C. Gray and Travis Jenes, who were killed last week by drinking coffee in which strichnine had been placed. The girl avows her innocence, and asserts that she saw Martin Jenes put poison in the coffee while carrying it from the kitchen te the family table. Mrs. Gray was a former resident of Chicago, and in company with her husband moved te Virginia a short time age. Lesses by Fire. A fire in Red "Wing, Minnesota, en Sun day night, destroyed the opera house, five stores, two stables and two dwellings, causing a less estimated at $65,000. The Powell tool campany's forge, in Cleveland, Ohie, was burned the same night. Less $25,000. Its destruction throws 130 men out of work. Mrs. "William Davenport, aged twenty five, of Montague, N. J., was setting in front of fireplace asleep, her clothes caught fire, and when found she was burned se badly as te be hardly recognizable. The Budget of Crime. D. J. Albert's jowelry stere at East Liverpool, Ohie, was entered by thieves en Sunday night and the safe blown open and robbed of about $5,000 worth of goods. Elizabeth McCue, a young' woman of Pittsburgh, in a fit of rage and te vindicate her honor shot and dangerously wounded a young man named James, who is net, however, a relative. Jehn Philips, an old and prominent citi zen of Dinwiddie county, Virginia, com mitted suicide en Sunday, by sheeting himself. He had previously made three attempts te kill himself. Three Chinamen were robbed and mur dered in their cabin at Camas, Idaho, en the 2d instant, and the cabin was burned te conceal the crime. A young white man who exhibited large quantities of geld dust has been arrested en suspicion. G. "W. Gray shot and fatally wounded E. P. Jerdan at the Sam Housten Nermal institute, Huntsville, Texas, of which both were pupils. Jorden was the aggressor. The matter originated in a cpmic valentine sent in February. JOHN POTT'S KKWAUD. Hew He Was Repaid for Adopting and Edu cating a Frlendless Ulrl. Thirty years age a peer girl named Car Car rie Reper, in garments tattered and tern, wandered te the home of Jehn Potts, a village blacksmith, in what is new known as Brooklyn, Pa., a few miles from Car Car bendalQ. Mr. Potts took the girl in aud suggested te his wife that they adept her, they having no children of their own. Mrs. Potts objected, feeling it her duty te take one of four of her sister's daughters, if it was deemed expedient te adept a daughter. Mr. Potts would net lis ten te his wife's suggestions, and de termined te support the girl. He sent her te a school iu Bucks county, where she took up the study of music with her academic course, and graduated with high honors. Twe years after she graduated Potts failed te learn of her whereabouts. His inquiries did net bring any tidings of the girl, and he gave her up as dead. His wife died in the spring of 1877, and he lived alone. He still continued his busi ness as blacksmith, though unable te save anything from his earnings with which te pay off low mortgages en his property. Twe weeks age a strange lady appeared at the pest office in Brooklyn, and introduced herself as Mrs. James Rutlodge of Pitts burg, wife of a millionaire. She inquired for Jehn Potts, and was escorted te his home, The old gentleman recognized her at sight, and was overcome with joy at her appearance. The lady had come te take Potts te her home, where he was te enjoy the freedom of her home during his remaining days. She paid off the mort gages en the Potts property, purchased a handseme monument for the grave of Mrs. Potts, and started with her old friend for her home in Pittsburgh. Soen after their arrival she made Potts a gift of $50,000 in United States bends. What Wolfe Will De. " Se far as I am personally concerned I will take Mr. Rawle as the candidate for supreme judge of the Independents," said Hen. Charles S. "Wolfe te a Recerd repor ter yesterday. " He is a geed man, and will no doubt make r-n excellent judge. But I cannot say that we will have " any thing te de with the rest of the ticket as named by Mr. Cameren. The Independ ents are stronger te-day than they were last year, and we propose te name a ticket of our own. "Who the candidates will be is semetmng mat caunet de told new. But I think they will feel kindly toward Rawle. The situation is about this : If the Democrats have horse sense and name a geed ticket, one that is progressive and up with the times, they will defeat Beaver and the rest of the Cameron men; but if they de net place a geed ticket in the field the Stalwarts will win, and the re sult will be the disintegration of the Democratic party and the formation of a new party in this state, composed of the best element of the two prominent parties as they new 3tand. I ascertained in the last campaign that plenty of well-known Democrats in the state wera rc:id tn break away from their party and ceme out as Independents. The Demenrat.n could net de better than te name Judge Trunkev as their candidate for ernvnmnr and I have already suggested Mr. Pattison as iue canaiaate ler lieutenant governor." Unelalmed letters.

TEE NEWS IN BEIEF; SJJDBEN DEATHS. A w A POPCIATOUNO SCEKCHAirrSTIUCK M BOWH. " The Yeung May Die, the Old Hest lMe.'i Seldom has this community been mere shocked and surprised than by the intelli gence which .went forth through it last evening that Mr. Chas. G. Rhoads, of the firm of H. Z. Rhoads & Bre. had died about 7 p. in., at his residence en Seuth Prince street. Mr. Rhoads was in hisi usual health and attending te business en Saturday, and was out en Sunday. He seems te have taken some cold and retired early en Sunday evening. Hs seffered from some rheumatic twinges that night and next morning, but by neon he had rallied and was iu apparently very geed condition. About 2 p.m. he suffered a congestive chill, sank into semi-consciousness, from which he never recovered and iu a few hours was. dead. Mr. Rhoads was a son of the late Jacob H. Rhoads and was born in this city in 1345 ; he learned the watch making busi ness and after the firm of Rhoads & Gil lespie was dissolved and when Charles was only 20 years of age he became associated with his elder brother, and under their joint management the business has grad ually developed and extended into ene of the heaviest and most successful in this city and among the first stores of its kind in the state. Mr. Rhoads was singularly attentive te his business interests and his energy, taste, skilled workmanship and affability made him one of the most popular and successful of our young busi ness men. Seme six years age he was married te Miss Massey, daughter of the late Hen. Themas H. Burrewea, and he leaves a widow and three children. -In social cir cles he had always been a favorite, and his geniality, courtesy and hospitality en deared him te a wide circle et friends. His sudden death inflicts a severe pang and evokes a universal sympathy for his afflicted family. Mr. Rhoads' mother, his uncle, Mr. Zahm, and ether relatives, are new some semo seme where en the route homeward from Flor Fler ida. Since their departure from Lancaster, Mrs. Chas. Shreiner, of their family, has died ; and among recent deaths which affected the social aud business relations of Mr. Rhoads, his friends new sadly recall these of Mr. Henry F. Bewman, of Rhoads & Bre.'s store ; Mr. Rhoads' sis ter, Miss Lida, his sister-in-law Miss Annie C. Burrowes, and still mere recently his brother-in-law, Mr. Harry Greff. Anetner Sedden Death. Nicholas Basch, aged 85, residing with his son Michael, at Ne.410 East King street, died suddenly this morning. He had net been well since Saturday, but was still able te be about. This morning when found he was lying across the bed with his mouth open and breathing very heavily, and he died in a few minutes. Deputy Corener Jehn B. Snyder held an inquest en the re mains, Dr. Compten making the examina t'en, and the verdiet was " death from heart disease." The deceased was a Ger man and was a widower, his wife having died years age. He made his home with his son and has net worked for some years. THE LUt. Our Lecal Tobacco Trai.. The market has been comparatively quiet during the past week. A few buyers aie still in the field picking up such lets as they can find. They say there is yet plenty of tobacco in this county from 6,000 te 10,000 cases in the hands of growers, but the most of it is short and inferior, and net worth mere than from 2 te 8 cents per pound. Several dealers from abroad, who have packcd.largely in-this city, have completed their packing, closed their warehouses and geno home, and will net return until sampling time, unless some unfersecn event calls thorn hack. About 200 cases of old tobacco were sold last week en private terms. .The most ac tive inquiry has "been for fillers and ether low grade goods. One of our heavy Lancaster packers has returned from New Yerk state, where he packed aud shipped te New Yerk city 1,000 cases of New Yerk leaf. Our cigar manufacturers complain of dull times which they charge te the con tinued agitation in Cengreas of the ques tion of repeal or modification of the to bacco tax. Very little has yet been done by farmers in furtherance of the new crop, the weather having been rather unpropitious. The young plants were coming en very well up te the end of last week, but the snowstorm of Monday and the heavy frost of last night have no denbt frozen many of them. Fer tunately a great proportion of the seed beds are net far enough advanced te be in jured by the cold. During the last week the trade in leaf has been rather slew in the lower end, owing te the very small quantity still in the hands of the growers. Seme buyers are still out, but the drives are tee long for the goods gathered in. Yet plenty of tobacco that has been condemned en ao ae count of white vein, shortness and every ether complaint, has been during the last three weeks taken at full rates. One-crop of two acres had been hauled te Lancas ter early this season ; the grower was paid te take it home again ; it was taken back again last week for mere money than it was sold for before. Of course such oc currences are net often, but they go very far te make farmers have little confidence in the judgment of buyers. Among the sales this week we notice "Wm. Phillips, Colerain, 3 acres te Levitt of Oxford, at 13, 7, 5, 3. "Wm. "Wilsen, 1 aero te Bhults private terms. .Jtcnry Miner, Providence, te L.T.Hensel lc:e at 15, 8, 5, 2. Wm. McMichael, of Eden, te Fhcnegar 1 acre hail cut, 4 through. Aaren "Wade, te Hestctter, 8 acres hail cut at SJ. "W. D. Russell, of Bart te 'Phenegar of Strasburg at 7$ through. Gee. Scott, te the same at 81 through. Jehn Demsey, te same at 8f . Michael Scott, te same at 0& for all but fillers ; fillers 3 cents. M. Pickel, same, 10 and 8. Several farmers are casing preferring it te selling at less prices than their neigh bors get early in the Beasen. Sales of Horses. Samuel Hess & Sen, auctioneers, sold at public sale, at the Mcrrimac house, Lan caster city, Pa., en Saturday, 8th inst., for Gee. Gressman, 16 head of Ohie horses at an average price of $194 per head ; two of them brenght $260 each. On Monday, 10th inst., for the came party, and at the same place, 17 head of Canada horses at an average price of $281 ; 'the highest one sold brought $331. ' Accident. On Saturday, Jacob Hats, the telegraph builder, received a severe wound in the hand while using an auger in putting up. a telephone wire. While striking upon the handle of the auger te force it through a hole just bored, the handle breke off and Mr. Hats struck the palm of his hand with great force against the rather blunt pointed tang of the auger, which penetrat ed almost through the hand." A Deuble Caster .Egg;. A hen en the premises of Jehn A. Sny der celebrated Easter by laying an egg of a very peculiar construction. The white of the egg occupies one sack and the yelk another, the two sacks being united by a ligament half an inch in length, giving the egg the appearance of a pair of old fash ioned saddlebags or miniature dumbbell.

Trouble In the Recorder's Office. Charles H. Fasnacht, who has been deputy recorder under Jehn P. Geed for about two years, has quit bis service. He has also brought suit" by his counsel J. Hay Brown and Chas. I. Landis, csqs., against Recorder Geed te recover $800, which he alleges te be due him for salary. Mr. Fasnacht claims that ha was te re ceive $1,000 per year from Geed for work ing in the office; but has reeeived only $12 per week. Geed alleges that he was te pay Fasnacht but $12 per week, and he has always done that ; and further that because he refused te lend Fasnacht $100 for " campaign expenses " he quit work and brought suit. Further developments are awaited with interest, as the suit wi'I undoubtedly affect in some wav the chances of Fasnacht, who is a candidate for recorder this year.
