LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCES TUESDAY AP1UL 25 1882. Eauiastci Ciitciltgencet TUESDAY EVKNIKO, APRIL 25, 1M3. Blaise ob Skiakeri. Mr. Blaine 'said a great deal te the congressional committee, but the virtue of all he said -was in his statement that Shieherd was a. liar and a feel. If Mr. TCletnnfb 1nniine!atinn of the WltnPSS against him is just then Mr.IBlaine may be blameless. He evidently appreciated the fact that nothing but the heroic treatment would de in dealing with Shi)lierds testimony ; se he puts his word and his character up against, Ship herd's and takes what he may. But that is net all that he wants. The public judgment of Shipherd does net sustain Mr. Blaine's judgment that he is crazy. Whatever his failings, men tal unsoundness does net seem te be of their number. A particularly acute man he displays himself in his appear ance before the committee. A liar he may be. That question is an open one. But Mr. Blaine's declaration that be is a liar will net be accepted as sufficient te show him te be. Mr. Blaine himself does net enjoy a repute for veracity. The general judgment of him is that he will lie te any extent needed te get him out of a hole ; and that he will net re ject any means te that end. Ne pubb'c man in the world is considered te be less .scrupulous in the employment of his resources than Mr. Blaine. This may may be a misjudgmsnt of him, but it is certainly the public judgment ; and it will he quite vain for him te expect te free himself from suspicion in this Peru vian business through his own assevera tion and -his free denunciation of the witnesses against him. He was bold enough even te assail Mr. Belmont, of the committee, for bis deductions from the evidence. It is Mr. Blaine's misfor tune that the circumstances, dates and coincidences in the Feiuvian negotia tions agree better with the testimony against him than witkhis own testimony in his behalf. The story that hurts him is particularly consistent, tee, with his well known character. And few people will incline te accept without hesitation his declaration of his spotless innocence. Butler anted for the Parsnips. Senater Mitchell has written a letter te Editor Geist in which he says he has Lend of a ' vindictive persecution " of M'nater Kauflman ; " made en account ei L;., course as an independent senator in the senatorial contest at narrisburg last winter," and as Senater Mitchell holds that his election " in that contest was made possible only by the united votes (if Republicans in both Houses of . the Legislature," he thinks it net im. proper ler him te say that " all such op. position te jut. ivauliman is, in my opinion, wholly unwarrantable and grossly impolitic and unjust. The Re publican party in Pennsylvania cannot be reunited and continued in pewerby any such warfare of the one faction upon the ether, and I earnestly hope that the geed people of Lancaster county will put an end te this vindictive per secutien by returning Mr. Kauffman te the Senate." As Senater Mitchell's election was made possible only by the belt against Oliver, the regular caucus nominee of his party, in which Kauff man bore such conspicuous part, it is hard te see hew he could have said less in his letter than te approve Kauff man's rcnominatien and te deprecate any " vin dictive persecution " of him because )f his rebellion. But if Senater Mitchell wants te make himself effective in Lan caster county pentics lie must prove what he is worth at "Washington. While his letter of sympathy with Kauffman was being read amid enthusiasm te the .seventy-five members of Kauffman's Committee of Seventy-Twe, Cameren was getting in his work at Washington by Rutan's appointment and paving the way for the appointment of another kind of a Kauffman. Until Mitchell can prove himself strong enough te pre vent this sort of thing eitiier in the ex ecutive chamber or in the executive ses' sien of the Senate, letters of sympathy will be regarded as mere husks by such practical politicians as J. W. Jehnsen and Levi Sensenig, whose experience in Bull Rings and Heg Rings has taught them that even committees of Seventy Seventy Twe cannot live en letters of sympathy alone. , Tiik ever ready " arithmetic man " of the New Yerk World has already figured out a Democratic majority Of 41 in the next federal Heuse of Representatives. It must be admitted that the estimate is a lather sanguine one, but an examina tion of the way in which the new appor tionment is distributed gives quite as much reason te hope for Democratic control of the next Heuse as the unskill ful leadership of Robeson and ridiculous performances of Keifer in the present Heuse. It seems that there are thirteen states in which there is no change in.the present number of members, three lese and twenty-two gain ; and of these that lese, Maine has net redistricted, se that all of her four members will be elected at large, with a chance for a Democratic and Greenback fusion te carry them ; and of the states which gain, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maine, Pennsylva nia, Kansas and North Carolina, will net redistrict new, but elect their extra memlers at large. In the increase of Southern members the Democrats gain ; ju California and Maine gains 'are premised them, while in the Western and Middle states where there are new members the Democracy cannot lese much, notably in Ohie they have pros pects of a gain. Even should the World man err 20 en either side of his present calculation Democrats, 183; Republi cans, 137 ; Greenbacks, 5 the Demo crats would still control the'next Heuse. Tiik "Committee of Seventy-two," which started out te reform the Repub lican party of this county and te confine itself te purifying the primaries of cor ruption, has gene into the business of setting up a ticket It could hardly' have been expected that an organization, of which J. W. Jehnsen is a leading spirit, would confine itself te the pregramme originally laid down for the "Seventy-Twe, or icfiairit from running politics en the " back back effic&sratem. AjiaHngly,afra meet-, tog of thi co ssmittee ia tkis city, yester day, we are told kr its nan. at which fseventyAva'Wutlef seventy-two of its members were present, Senater Mitch ell's letter te the committee'sediter, en behalf of the committee's candidate for state senator, was read amid great en thusiasm, and straightway the commit- twdedared ite-combinatien -en -Cen gress, state senator, assembly and dele gates te the, state, convention.

JIvnnir, in The Century " Srie-alSrac" Baltimore's " water problem " is very different from that of most cities. It has an immense surplus. Frem Jeucs' falls and the Gunpowder together there is do de rived during the dry summer months a supply of 1(55,000,000 gallensdaily During the same months the city's consumption does net exceed 25,000,000 gallons. In the fall, winter and spring months the consump tion falls te 20,000,000 gallons, while the surplus approximates 400,000,000 gallons. It is estimated that a water meter could easily be run en the third story of every building in the city, and plenty of water be left. The introduction of such meters and their application te household and small mechanical uses is the question of the hour in Baltimore. Hiss Ada Grat, while performing the death-bed scene in " East Lynne," at Scranton the ether night, rose te an up right position, administered a public re buke te some one in the audience who persisted in tittering through this most affecting passage, and then went en with the play. The heroic method of instruc tion in geed manners at the theatre seems te be in vogue just new, and the ether day a Philadelphia newspaper mentioned by name a swell party who occupied a box at the. Academy of Music during the sea son of grand Italian opera there, and an noyed half the audience by their loud talking, laughing and ether conspicuous and ill-bred actions. Parisians threw their opera glasses and ether missiles at nsive singers and performers. Tirana is something in a name. These verses " Via'Selitaria " were written' by Dr. O. M.

Since then they seem te have se entirely escaped general attention and appreciation of their merit that when they were printed the ether day as an un published poem of Longfellow, written after the death of his wife, there was node te question it until a country editor in Wisconsin was struck by their familiar sound and their author was hunted up. Meantime they have been published in nearly all the leading papers and highly commended without criticism, although their real author says,, that in their present form of publication they are marred by various fake readings and faulty punctuatiens. Possibly Longfellow sent them te a friend who jumped te the conclusion that .they were Longfellow's without warrant. Any. hew, Dr. Conevor's poem has attained much wider circulation than it would have get ever his name. The "Northwestern" system of rail ways has published a handsomely printed guide book, of the attractive and pictures que points of summer resort en its various lines, in the Shape of alleged correspond ence from a gashing yoeag lady who has been there.

" Cannen Fired" was the head-line which the Chicago Timet placed ever its report of the proceedings in Congress in the Cautbhll-Caxnen case. Mr. PARNXLii's Easter egg had a shell of silver, and the contents were 100 guineas from Liverpool sympathizers te buy com. forts for the prisoners in Killmainham.

Queen Victeria apparently blundered and discredited the dead peer himself when she signed the inscription en her memorial te Lord Beaconsfield " Victeria, R. I." "Queen and Empress." When six years age Mr. Disraeli secured the passage of the Royal Titles bill in the face of sane opposition and much reluctance, it was with an explicit pledge that the imperial istyle should only be used in India.

Visiting Soldiers Kalse a Rew and Get Inte Trouble In Heading. A conflict of a seriens nature took place in Reading last evening between the city pelice and some soldiers of the Fourth Regiment National Guards of Pennsylva. nia. The regiment had a dress parade and inspection, and prier te the departure of company I, of Catasaqua, one of the pri vates smashed a plate glass window of W. R. Fisher, the hatter, opposite the Grand opera heuse. Fisher says he com plained te the captain and was insulted. Fisher then swore out a warrant, and it was placed in the hands'ef Sergt. Raucher of the city police, who proceeded te serve it. The sergeant told the captain, and the captain said, " Well, take him." The accused man was in the ranks en the pub lic square, and when the sergeant was about taking him into custody, another soldier near by raised his musket and knocked the scrgeaut down with the but end of it. Several citizens rnshed in and ether soldiers backed up their comrades. Blews were ireely exchanged, and the chief of pelice and a squad made a charge and the two effendinc privates were haul ed out of the crowd and taken te the Delice station, amid great excitement and threats of mobbing them.

Fifteen Lives Lest A IaS Hambar of srerseas Tery Bwlaasly Xajaram. v. The most shocking disaster which ever occurred in Flerida waters was the burn ing of the steamer City of Sanferd, about five miles above Jacksonville City, about four o'clock yesterday morning. The steamer was en her way from Sanferd. When opposite Point Lavista lire was dis covered issuing from tbe forward held from among a quantity of pine weed. The alarm was given and the purser went through the beat and aroused the passen- gers. In erder te prevent a panic he told them net te be alarmed ; that there was plenty of time. The beat was headed for the shore, and was in a few minutes grounded in three feet of water, but the fire had; driven the engineer from his pest and the en gine could net be stepped. An attempt was made te rescue the passengers by having them run aft and jdmp overboard, but notwithstanding these efforts nine persons and probably mere perished. Their names are as fellows : Mrs. Oscar Keep and child ; Mrs. Ireland and daugh ter, of Cema ; Mrs. G. H. Deuner, of Norwalk, Flerida ; Capt. Shartelhyef the schooner Magnelia, recently, lest en the Mesquite Inlet bar ; Charles Pierce, a nephew, and Willie Brooks, a son of the pilot of the ill-fated steamer, and Derse Snapper, a deck hand. The steamer Geerge M. Bird was coming down the river a few miles ahead of the Sanferd. Her officers discovered the fire and at once put back, took en beard the sur vivors and brought them te the city. The remains of the less were brought te the city for interment. Seme et the bodies were burned te a crisp. The eity is full of mourning and considerable ex citement prevails. A coroner's jury is new in session and all the facts will be elicited. The steamer and contents arc a total less. Nothing was saved. A group of iive was en the rear deck, where the captain urged them te leap overboard into the shallow water. During the brief discussion Miss Ireland fell over board and the stern wheel, still turning, caught her dress aud was about draggiug her under its paddles when the captain sprang overboard and extricated her. Mr. Ireland, who jumped after her, was caught in .the wheel and was also rescued by Captain Roberts. Mrs. .Ireland and her little daughter and-Mrs. Keep and her little son were then left en the deck. The ladies were about te jump overboard, when the two children, seized with panic at the heat and the fearful surroundings, ran back into the blazing saloon, and mother's love, stronger than fear of death, urged the two ladies after them. The four disappeared in the fiery furnace and were burned te a crisp. Their remains were found afterward under their re spective staterooms. They were but charred and blackened trunks, grasping the almost unrccognizable bodies of their children. Other .Recent Fires. The total less by Sunday's fire at Do De pere, Wis., is new placed at $100,000, and the insurance at $75,000. The Franklin hotel and the opera house building at Franklin, Lid., were burned yesterday morning. Less, $20,000. The engine of Weed's machine works, at Iloesic Falls, N. Y., was injured by fire last night te the extent of $10,000. An extensive fire occurred at Gotdsbero, N. C, yesterday. The Benitz hotel was entirely destroyed. The fire was first dis covered in the reef, and its origin is sup posed te have been a defective flue.' Less, $10,000; insurance, $6,000. Three men were slightly wounded at the fire. A destructive fire took place yesterday morning at Credit Valley railroad round house, Parkdalc, Ontario. The building, which was a frame one, was completely destroyed, and four locomotives which were in it were rendered nearly useless. The less is $50,000 ; partly covered by in surance. A fire broke out late last night in the fumiturosterage warehouse of Geerge C. Flint Ce., 303 West street New Yerk, destroying the building and its cetents, causing a damage of $75,000, partially jn sured. A disastrous fire started at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, yesterday afternoon, and at midnight was still raging. Reports are meagre, but they are te the effect that there is danger of the whole town being' destroyed. Later : Sixty-three buildings have been burned, and the less will amount te $250,000. The bridge of the Texas-Mexican read across the Les Angeles river, a few miles this side of Laredo, was burned en Sun day night. The engine of a special train sent out en Sunday night en its return yesterday morning jumped the track near Bangneta, killing the engineer and seri ously wounding the fireman. Sweeping Southern Cyclones. The latest reports from Monticello, de stroyed by a cyclone a few days age, put the list of dead at 15, and of injured at 30. Many of the latter are nej; expected te recover. Terrible cyclones occurred en Saturday evening in Dallas county, Alabama, Bibb, Twiggs, Jenes nd Wilkinson counties, Georgia, and Brunswick and Pender counties, North Carolina.

Maine' Square Denial. The most interesting feature of the tes timony given by the ex-secretary of state yesterday was his absolute denial of Ship- herd s statement about the offer te Minister Hurlbut of a bribe of $250,000 in the stock of tbe Peruvian cempany. Mr. Shipherd has repeatedly said that he told Mr. Blaine of this offer at one of his numerous interviews, and that Mr. Blaine merely laughed and said, " Yeu won't catch ' Steve ' that way." On this point Mr. Blaine's denial is supported by similar disclaimers from benater Blair, Mr. bcett Lord, cx-Sccretary Boutwell and ethers te whom the active agent of the Peruvian company declared that he had made known the contents and purpose of his "artistic " note toMinister Hurlbut. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. YOUNG CONDUCTOR'S VEST. FATAL ACCI- Te Ilrethers Who Have Had Their Legs Cut Off by the Cars.

Ferepaugn's Great Shew at the l'ark Grounds The Forepaugh show attracted large audiences yesterday afternoon and evening. It required three tents te exhibit all the featurts of the show proper, te say nothing of a score of side show arrange ments, with their fat women, and hairy men, living skeletons, pink-eyed peeple and big snakes. The first of the large tents was occupied' by the menagerie, where were exhibited a tremendous array of the various objects of interest in the animal and natural kingdoms, including a rhinoceros and hippopotamus, always centres of special attention in au exhibi tion of the kind, and a long list of wild beasts from every quarter of the glebo. There was a big mau and a little woman, but the "ten thousand dollar beauty" was conspicuous by her absence. The middle tent was devoted te the elephants and camels, and here the big "Bolivar" came iu for a full share of admiration and amazement at his colossal proportions. The circus tent was an immense affair and the .performance was given in two lings. There was some excellent ridiug, tumbling and acrobatics, balancing, juggling, rope walking etc., but the feature par excellence was the trapeze performances, which for skill and daring have probably never been surpassed in this city. The horses and elephants arc well trained, and did some, clever tricks, and the show was net lack ing in any of the essential teatures' that go te make such exhibitions entertaining. The usual "concert" was given after each performance. J Elephant Loese. At the close of last night's performance, two of the elephants connected with the show get away from the ethers near the Penn iron works, where the show was leaded. They ran up Plum street and get en the piles of dirt en the old common, and tumbled around for some time and broke down a high fence around the iron works by walking against it. After con siderable difficulty the animals were driven back te the railroad, where ene that was as big as a lead of hay. distinguished himself by falling into a cow hole, which was large enough, hewever, te accommedato an elephant. He was get out after an hour's work, and after receiving a severe treunciag for his trouble, with his com panion was placed in the car and their trunks checked ler Harrisburg.

A. number of witnesses testified tothe amount of labor performed, ahd.it was shown that a son of Mr. Kraber eace offered Mrs. Seehrist $300 ie settle, which amount his father was agreed te. The defense admitted that there might be something owing plaintiff for trivial services, but it was certainly net as much as claimed. A let of clothing belonging te the deceased and' valued at $30 had been left with Mrs. Seehrist, at her request, in part payment of charges, and as all beard for the deceased had been settled for, the claim cenld net be charged. In rebuttal Mrs. Seehrist testified that although she agreed te take the- clothing in payment for work done at and after the funeral, no do de finite arrangement was made and the clothing remained at ber house.
