.LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCEK, MONDAY, JULY 10,1882. ;adstct imtelligencci. MONDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1882. The CancroH Oatleek. The advices from Washington now confirm the prevalent idea of some weeks ago, that Don Cameron does not propose to abandon Gen. Beaver nor to assent to any sort of compromise that will involve his withdrawal from the ticket, whether with Beaver's own consent or by the outcome of a primary election at which Beaver's name would be offered aside of Stewart's. From such a primary the impression has come to be very general that the Stal warts would have nothing to fear. Cooper's proposition is made in the confi dence that if the Regular and Independ ent tickets were to be submitted together the superior organization and better trained machine of the Cameron faction would win the victory for it. In such a decision they would not expect the lead ing kickers to acquiesce and they would be well satisfied to have them keep on kicking if tbey could win over the rank and file to the idea that the Wolfe fac tion was unreasonable and irreconcil able. But the Independents understand this just as well as the Stalwarts. They have put their wisest and their stiffest men on guard in the state committee. They are rid of the weak and flabby element like Senator Davies and Lawrence, and it is not likely that the Grecian wooden horse which Cooper bestrides will be admitted within their walls. They think the time for concession, for a new conven tion or for a general primary has passed. All of these were offered to the Regulars and rejected by them. If then Cameron is of the same mind, the issue may be considered to bo fully joined beyond any real change in the situation to be effected by the slate com mittee at its meeting tins week. For that committee is const.it utul to do Cameron's bidding. Upon .some princi ple or other, which does not appear set forth in any well-established or definite ly declared rule, it is deftly packed so as to give Philadelphia and Pittsburgh such a representation that it can be easily handled for the purposes of the ring. Most likely the committee will make some show of concession, and exhibit some spirit of pretended fairness. But it will be carefully guarded and under the velvet glove the hand of steel will be hardly concealed. The offer to the Inde pendents may be set down in advance, will be a trap for them ; and they must be bigger fools than they have thus far shown themselves to be if they walk into it. Hot Weather Canards. The latest report of the causes which make Mr. Cooper red-headed and hope ful in this hot weather, is to the effect that the Republican bosses have made a trade with the Irish land leaguers of Pennsylvania for 30,000 Democratic Irish votes for Beaver." And, in sup port of this, it is telegraphed from "Wash ington that a self-constituted commit tee of trading land-leaguers from this state, recently visited that city " to con fer with Cameron and Arthur about the transfer of the Land League votes to the Stalwarts. Their ostensible business was to demand the recall of Minister Lowell from England, but their real mission was to make a profitable politi cal trade with the Stalwart machine and make the recall of Lowell the pretext for transferring the Land League voters, while the solid reason lor the trade is in the solid cash the contracting parties are to receive." There are, no doubt, some speculators in both parties who would be willing to insult our Irish citizens and enrich themselves by huckstering around in the political mart the votes of their fellows, but the men in these days who can deliver thirty or even three thousand votes are not on the auction block so early, and the idiot who seriously under takes to make such a transfer is only less idiotic than the purblind political boss who seriously entertains his propo sition. The foolkiller will not, however, have completed his work when he dispatches t'rose who entertain the Land League story. The New York Herald has a correspondent at Reading who needs his attention. This genius figures out that the " old Democrats " of Penn sylvania do not want Pattison and will sell him out to teach theyoungsters, who are trying to run the party, a lesson ! This bright discoverer's conjecture is based on the fact that if Pattison is elected governor he will be run for president in 1881, and will crowd the " old Democrats " off the track. As Mr. Pattison will not be old enough to be a presidential candidate in two years tie peculiar development of political lu nacy over in Berks may charitably be - ascribed to the alleged poisoning of the Schuylkill water. The New York JVa(tot,discussing the subject of college education, makes tbe assertion that while it may have bee.n very1 useful to a boy as a means of moral and intellectual culture, his college training lias not helped to adapt him to tbe environment in which he has to live and work ; " or, in other words, to a world in which not one man in a hun dred thousand has either the manners or cultivation of a gentleman, or changes his shirt more than once a week, or eats with a fork." Mr. Matthew Arnold has described this declaration as a moat re markable one, and tbe Washington lie public goes so far as to venture that the JVatton's arithmetic man was out when the statement was made. It deems it reasonable to infer from it that the "environment " of the JVo (ton does not include a society in which education of any kind serves as a means of adaptation. The Republic concludes that as soon as these terrible facts become known the atten dance upon our colleges will dwindle and they will finally be swept out of exist. ence. It refrains in fear from speaking of that recondite mystery who " has the manners and cultivation of a gentle man," but does not consider it any wonder Mr. Arnold is surprised tht out of a population of fifty mil-1 lions of souls (2-5,3-52,000 males) a bare 2-53 eat with a fork or chanee their shirts more than once a week. The He puWic,making an allowance of 3 J for the editorial staff of its gilt-edged contem porary, finds there remain but 250 of the elect who have made some slight ad vance in civilization. The policemen who are not satisfied with $1.20 per day ought to try and get situations as tipstaves. Their duties and responsibilities would be lighter, their pay and their clubs heavier, and they would not have to renew their over coats so often. When a man knows too much to be a janitor and not enough to lie a judge he is ripe for the office of court crier at $ 1 per day.

It used to bo considered a wonderful thing to engrave tho Lord's Prayer on a three cent piece. At the List meeting oi' the San Francisco Micro.copial society tho president exhibits I .-mi engraving upon a class plato of the Lonl i'raycr so iuin timely executed that ou the same scale nine copies of the entire Bible could be pio duccd within the space of a t-quaro inch. Tin: Uostou Herald tells Bishop Hunt iugtou that ho has made "a fool of him self," and that Bishop Coxo is his "Quix. oto brother," for questioning "tho salva tion of Ralph Waldo Emerson iu tho other woild." It cannot bee that Emerson's salvation is "any of their business," and "nobody has asked their opinion," ami "it is nono of their business" if he is "roasting iu the pit of tho nether world at this moment." HiiitKKornn must go. The civil mu viee propensities of tho Philadelphia post master have become unbearable to the bosses, and thoy are impending over his devoted head.

An English statistician says that no less thau 7,009 swans' skins ate annually im ported alone for tho exclusive manufac ture of tho " pull's" used for tho purpose of laying powtler on the face. Every swau's skin makes about sixty putt's, which would make an annual consumption of 420,000, puffs. Is, then, the natural whiteness of the English skxu a myth? Tho same En glish statistic says that tons of lice and wheat powder ato consumed annually in Englaud. Camukox has yielded passive assent to the rcnomination of Eystcr to be assistant United States treasurer, although his original purpose was to have Uewit, or Blair, appointed, iu payment of au old score he owes that distinguished states man, whoso services in the speaker's chair to the machine element are vivid iu the memory of Peunsylvanians. The sentitneut of the business men of Philadelphia was so overwhelmingly in favor of Eyster's re tention, however, aud azaiustthe appoint ment of so notorious a jobber as Hewit, that Cameron concluded to let the place slide, as there are no stcaliugs iu it, and it is therefore of littlo consequence to the machine anyhow. The New York Sun, while professing tho amplest confidence iu Judge Black's quality as a political prophet as witnessed by his prediction of Garfield's nomination in the early spring of 1880, at a time when such au event was considered impossible on account of Garfield's record, is still dis posed to think the judge's vaticinations in regard to tho standard bearers for 1884 contain a great deal moie of imagination than of solid wisdom. It admits, however, that Blaine's nominatiou by the Republi can convention is not wholly beyond the range of possibility, and that tho Demo crats may call Ilaucock to the front ouce more, but fancies that the nomination of Jeremiah S. Black would be received among Democrats with a great deal more enthusiasm and confidence than that of Gen. Hancock. Heke is au ingenious method of effect ing a journey round the world that no doubt will commend itself to the impecu nious tourist, as tho feat can be accom plished without tho expenditure of a cent.

The Republican party came into power in this state in 18G1, and the cost to the state government then was 947,911,83. exclusive of interest and reduction of debt. The Republican administration of Gover nor Curtiu, even with all the enormously iucreased expenditures of war and the highest inflation of values known in this age, increased the state expenditures to only $1,431,480.07 in 1805. In 1SGG the Cameron machino enticuchcd itself in tho Republicau citadel aud for fifteen years it has baeu supremo in every channel of Republicau power in the state. With it came reckless profligacy ; tho creation of offices for favorites ; the lavish waste of public money to reward partisan hench men and the absolute subordination of Republicau integrity and manhood to the cohesive power of public plunder. In 1870, after tbreo years of machino rule in tho state, tho annual expenditures, in time of peace, had grown to 2,228,970. 27, beiugau increase of 1,281,058.44 over the expenses when tho party assumed power, aud au incrcasa of 797,430.00 over tho expenditures uudcr Gov. Curtin with the extraordinary demands of war to meet. But tho profligacy of boss government was not content with the expenditures of 1870. Tho auditor general's report shows that tho cost of tho state government for 1880, including its share for tho Legislature, foots up tho enormous amount of 4.9G2, 105,59 tho fraction over is niil lious being more thau the entire cost of the soverument in 18C0, when tho Republican party first attained power. This expend iture does not ombraco cither interest or principal of public debt. It is simply tho regular annual,aud presumably legitimate, expenditures of the stato government. There is a legitimate increase in schools and judiciary, made by the constitution, but that is little more thau half a million, and tho other expenditures are mainly or wholly the creation of machino legisla tion. Tho people of Pennsylvania have lately been carefully reading aud considering the iccoid mado by Controller Pattison in Philadelphia, aud they havo learned that his entry into tho controller's offico dated tho beginning of the practical reform that has changed tho city from a 2.25 tax rate and three millions annual increase of debt with little or no improvements, to a 1.95 tax rate, an annual surplus of a million and substantial improvements in every de partment, and that is just the sort of an administration they want in Pennsylvania. They seo tho stato expenditures more than double tho first ten years of Republican administration and then more thau doublo again in the second ten years, swelling the expenditures from 947,911.83 iu 1800 to 4, 9G2, 105.59 in 1880, and when thoy study tho history of Philadi lphia under Controller Pattison thoy will strongly in cline to tho opinion that ho has just about the qualities for their complaint. Impuro Water In the Schuylkill. Tho Schuylkill river between Reading aud Pottstown has becomo very filthy, and there is considerable excitement in consequence among the people who are de pendent upon that source for their watnr supply. The health officers have taken the subject in hand and will mako an in spection for the purpose of discovering the source of the vitiating properties that have rendered the water unfit for use. The attention of the park commissioners of Philadelphia has been called to the nuisance. .Large numbers of dead fish havo been found floating at various points along the river. A BLOODY PAGE. HUKUEUED BY BIS ANGEKED SUM A Uarsn Fauier Shot Dead Alter Giving Ilia Boy a Whipping. Milton Smith, a son-in-law of Granville Eads, a prominent citizen of Kirkwood, a small village a short distance from St. Louis, wa3 shot aud killed on Friday by his thirteen-year old sou Guy. A little over thrco weeks ago Mr Smith had occa tiou to icprove bis son aud did so in a very severe manner. After the whipping the boy threatened in his rage to be re venged. Yesterday morning Guy came into the dining room after his father aud grandfather had finished their breakfast. Sirs. Eads, the geaudmotker of tho boy, prepared his br:akfast aud placed it be fore him, but nothing seemed to suit him. Ho quarreled with his food aud abused tho old lady. His auger increased until he worked himself into a great passion and gave vent to his wrath by throwing tho dishes about. Tho old lady is quite feeble, and, iustead of at tempting to reprove tho boy, called in his father. Mr. Smith responded, and as he entered the room Master Guy was raging about and playing smash generally with tho things. Tho father administered a sound thrashing aud left tho boy in the room. Attor a crying spell Guy went into his grandfather's room, aud in a minute returned with a double barreled bhot gun, ami, walking up to tho right side of his father, who was standing iu a doorway, he deliberately placed the niuzzlo of the weapon within a few inches of his father's body aud tired. The lioy's movements were quiet aud quick, aud no one seems to have seen him outer tho room with tho gun. Tho load was a heavy ouo, aud tho entire charge passed through the victim's body, entering the right side below tho nipple and oomiug out under the heart on the left side. Mr. Smith sank to the ground, called out " I am killed, tend for tho doctor," and never spoke again. The boy dropped tho gun and started to run, but was seized and is now iu jail. KTAIHtlNU HIS WIFE TO DEATH. Tho Crliiii) of it Laboring Mull Which Wan Witnessed by u Crowd of People. In Syracuso yesterday great excitement was caused by a crowd of mon, women aud children following James Hawk?, a dissolute laboring man, shouting : " Mur derer ! Murderer ! Lynch him !" Tho polico paid little attention at first, think ing he was crazy. It about half au hour tho facts of a brutal murder reached tho central portion of tho city. Hawks aud his wife, both about 45 years of age, had bceu driukiug, and Mrs. Hawks went out for a pail of lager beer. She stopped aud hadsomo conversation with two colored men, which so enraged her husband that ho rushed out and stabbed her. She died instantly. Tho crowd who witnessed tho crime followed Hawks for a number of blocks, crying at his heels. Tho polico statiou was surrounded by an excited crowd, anxious to lynch tho murderer. Hawks bus bceu married four times and has been a terror to tho neighborhood whero he resided, commonly known as " Africa." tleaten to Death by Bobbers. Iu Chicago about 1 o'clock yesterday moruiug, Joel Prescott, au old and re spected citizen was found lying iu a door way in tho basement at tbe rear of his bathiug house on Dcsplaiucs street, his brains beaten out by some blunt instru ment aud his pockets turned inside out. Ho was alive but soon died. The object evidently was robbery, but the murderer got nothing, as Prescott has placed a con sidcrablo sum of money aud his watch iu a secret place. Four persons were arrest ed, but there is apparently littlo evidence against them. A Large Fire iu New Orleans. In New Orleans at night a fire broke out in George D. Moffcct's confectionary store 33 Tchoupitoulas street, which was entire ly consumed. The flames soon spread to the stores of C. II. Lawrcuco & Co., com mission merchants, 29 and 31 Tchoupitou las street, burning off the roof aud upper story. The rear of Lawrence's warehouse on Gravier street., and also Patterson & Bovard, liquor dealer?, were more or less damaged. The damage by firo and water is estimated at 50,000. Avenging His Father's Murder. It is lepoited from Statesville, N. C, that Mont Robbins, a son of William 31. Robbius, who was violently assaulted by M. L.

Then Robbins shot Mott iu the breast, killing him. Murderers Aries ted fur Till-Tanpiug. Two iuraatas of tho city workhouse, Cincinnati, who were imprisoned about the middle of June for till-tapping, and who gave their names as John and James Murphy, were indeutilied as Jack Costigan and James Iliggcus, who arc charged with the murder of James Kenny, in St. Louis, iu May last. Tho officer from St. Louis will take them to that city as soon as warrants can bo obtained fiom Governor Foster. Fatally injured by a Fall. While a number of littlo girls of Shen andoah were spending tho afternoon ou Ringtown mountain, Noah Kane, eight years of age, wandered away from tho party. Her companions became alarmed at her absence and instituted a tcareh. The child was found in a mine breach about twenty-five feet deep, into which she had fallen. Sho was fatally injured. An Old Farmer Killed by a Contractor. In Plymouth, Iud., During a quarrel bclwceu Jusiah Recce, au old and respected farmer, aud Michael Foley, of Foley & Martin, contractors, Foley dealt Recce a powerful blow, breaking bis neck and causing instant death.

Iu the IxTKLMGKKCEit of Friday last there appeared a statement of some of tho grievances long complained of by tho city policemen and a suggestion that their pay was hardly adequate to the services ren dered. Tho torco consists of nineteen men including tho chief. Tho men are divided into two shifts, each of which re mains alternately on duty from? o'clock in tho morning until 4 o'clock the follow ing morning ; while three of each shift re main ou duty the full twenty-four hours. It additiou to these tegular sciviccs, the off-duty shift is detailed for extra duty every Saturday evening from 7 uutil 11 o'clock, aud also on holidays aud other occasions when tho sttcots aro crowded. Against these extra services there has been a good ileal of complaint for some timo past not loud, but deep; and finally on Saturday evening tho troublo culmipat ed in a strike. The shift detailed for duty was as follows : Officers Samuel Swcuk of tho First ward, Banksou Smith of tho Second, Charles Stormfeltz of the Third, Georgo Geusomer of tho Fourth, Jacob Ktlliugcr of tho Fifth, Atlce Mercer of tho Sixth, John Merringer of tho Seventh, John llarinan of the Eighth, and Michael Burns of tho Ninth. When tho roll was called ou Saturday evening not a mau of the shift except Atlce Mercer responded ; and Mercer has since been looked upon with great disfavor by his companions for backing out from his agreement with the others not to re port for duty, To moat people, however, Mercer seems to have acted more wisely than his fellows. If thoy thought they wero doing too much work for the amount of pay they wero receiving their proper course would have been to havo asked tho mayor or councils for redress instead of disobeying tho orders of their chief and tho mayor without a moment's warning. It will' bo noticed also, thac several of tho strikers aro new appointees who have had camparatively little extra work to do dur ing tho few weeks they have been on tho force. Their refusal to do duty without notifying tho mayor does not auger well for their zeal iu the service to which they were so anxious to bo appointed. Wheth er it is tho intention of the other shift to strike against extra duty wo have not learned, nor do wo know what action tho mayor will take iu tho premises. Doubt less ho will see to it that tho lives'and prop erty of citizens shall not be endangered for waut of an efficient police force at all times and uudcr all circumstances. SUDDEN DEATHS. Two Klen Die at the County Uogpltal. An old Germau named Martin Ziegler, aged 72 years, died suddenly at the county hospital at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. Ho had been in ill health for some time past aud his death was not unexpected. On gottiug up Sunday morning he attempted to walk across tho room and fell to the floor aud scon expired. His death is at tributed to apoplexy. Ziegler lirst ap peared at tho hospital last April ; he re mained until Juno and then wandered away. On Sunday a week he appeared at the mayor's office sick and was sent back to tho hospital. Ho has been in this country for 27 years, but is not kuown to havo any relations hero. Martin Bacdenbach,aged about 70ycais, also au inmate of tho hospital, fell dead of apoplexy about the same time as Ziegler. He was a German aud was admitted to the hospital in 1877. Two years and a half ago ho lirst showed signs of insanity. His mind was a good deal impaired, but ho was as well as usual ou Saturday. On Sunday morning ho got out of bed and started to go to tho bath room when he fell dead from apoploxy. Coroner Sniffer impanuelcd a jury and held an inquest, tho verdict being in accordance with the above facts. RASKBALL. Ironsides 17 Picked Nine 3.

John Dickoy and Art. Boardman spent Suuday with them, and on Monday thoy were joined by S. W. Dillcr, S. B. Diller and Theo. Diller ; tho two latter, however, after spending ono night, returned home. They caught no fish of any account, with tho exception of Brinton's string of sunfish, until Wednes day, when they began bass fishing, and bad cxcelleut luck, having bass for break fast, dinner and supper.

Ills Transactions In Maryland Miscella neous Xelghborhooa .News. Further developments of the Milton Grove swindle bring to light tho where abouts of another and heavier noto thau the ono presented to John Balmer, one of the victims, the other week. The note is in the bands of a Lancaster attorney for collection aud calls for over $4,000, and much interest is manifested iu the affair aud it continues to be much talked of. An account of a game somewhat similar from tho Westminister (Md.) Advocate will bo ot interest. Sir. Denuison holds notes of both transactions and Miller who figured in tho Manchester game, aud Smith, who deceived the thrco farmers of Jlilton Grove, are undoubtedly one and the same person. The account says that somo few months ago " a mancallinghim- self Samuel D. Miller, appeared in Man chester aud remained there iu that neigh borhood for a month or more . He became acquainted with a number of farmers aud contracted to purchase walnut logs of somo of them. Tho contract was put in writing and signed by the farmers. On Juno 13th Miller came to this city with Cornelius Went, aud was introduced to John E. Denuison, a bill broker. He told Mr. Denuison that he had some important business with him and asked if ho could have an interview with him iu half an hour. Upon being informed he could Miller went to Mr. Dcnnison's office at tho west end, about the appointed time. Ho first desired to sell him somo Baehmau Valley railroad stock. Iu tho conversation that ensued Miller showed himself very familiar with tho country and with the people of the section around Melrose and was well posted. He did not press the sale of the railroad stock. Mr. Dcnnisou had no desire to buy and not very much was said on tho subject. Iu tho course of tho interview Miller produced and sold to Mr. Denuison a note of Phanuel Weutz for $3,000 ; Philip Yost's for $2,000 ; llcu ben Schaeffer's for $3,000 ; aud Peter Get tier's for $2,000, in all. $10,000. A note of Ferdinand Pctorraau for $1,500, was offered for sale, but Mr. Dcunison did not buy it. These notes were dated May 20. 1832, drawn at 00 days and made payable to Samuel D. Miller. After getting the money on them Miller departed and Mr. Dennisou has not heard of him since. Mr. Denuison spoke of his transaction and it soon became knowu abroad. Being up at Mr. Cornelius Wcntz's last week, ho and Mr. Weutz went around to sec the drawers of tho notes, and Mr. Denuison was informed that they were not genuine. On Monday last, those against whom the notes aro held came to this city, took legal actiou aud resolved to resist payment. Mr. Dennisou has also engaged counsel and an interesting law suit is probable. The notes aro not due until July 20th. If tho notes be forgeries, as alleged, tho signatures must havo been obtained under the pro tense of having sigucd what thoy thought were such contracts. Miller is represent ed as about 5 feet 0 inches high, heavy set with heavy dark hair antl whiskers. On his left arm is a heart of Indian ink." Of Mr. Dennisou an Elizabethtown cor respondent of tho Middlctowu Press has this to say : "John E. Dennisou was for merly a citizen of this place, and worked iu the machine shops of Messrs. Buch & Co., but more recently he has been more extensively engaged in tho Hfo insurancu business." The following paragraph shows that tho same rascal lias been operating clsewhcro with tragic results : " David Coleman, living near MiddMinr", Suydcr county, feigned somo papers iu a transaction with tho agent of a clothes wringer for $200. These afterwards came to him iu the shape of promissory notes, and the sheriff noti fying him that they would havo to bo paid tho old man committed suicide." Mr. Joy JUorougli Mows.

S. Tobacco Journal. The first part, of tbe week was devoted by the trade to ncreation. The necessity for this is not quite apparent, tho trade having enjoyed involuntary recreation for some time past. The latter pirt of tho week showed great activity in '81 Connecticut seconds, and in all old tobaccos that were offered at low figures. Whoever has any old tobacco and wants to s"li it low can find plenty of buyers. This ttale oratfairs will doubtless continue till it i cither discovered that the old is bittci than tho new, or that the growing crop i a failure. After all, the general disinclination of jobbers and manufacturers t buy auy '81 tobacco outsi!e of Connecticut seconds, aud tho exiting lower figures for '80 stock, are a M.wsing iu disguise. The longer these .o-ditions prevail, tho less change there will be for au ill-considered and indiscrimiiuto rush to tho country by purchasers for '82 tobacco. The sales ol i he week wero a follows : Pennsylvania -Crop S0 : 700ca.s, 12J 13o. Connecticut Crop '80 : 150 caws wrappers 27(rt;"."i j.

TUE LOUAJ. l'roniisme Prospect el MnKjHIF!" There is nothing of etmHmKmBR in the local market excepftMRMflc & Son continue to pick up a jfeOeefctl of loose tobacco of low grade, and small quantities of better quality. There aro a few sales of old (1880) to bacco reported, at C cents for fillers 9 (") 10 for binders and 15 (a) 25 for wrappers. The great oiut of interest at this tim is the growing crop of 1882. On the whole) tho crop is at least two weeks behind former crops, and in some sections is unpromising, having :; tillered terribly from cut worms, and drought; but from many parts of the country the reports are very encouraging. The lata warm showers have given the plants a splendid start and they ate growing luxu riantly. Tho leaves, in size, will not average larger than a mau's hand, and many of them aro not so large ; but we hear of early planted patches that have leaves from sixteen to twenty inches in length and are ready for topping a few of them, indeed, having been already topped. With anything like a fair show of weather during the ensuing six weeks tho crop of Lancaster county will be as large as usual. M'lliUBUlUIUUU MEWS. Here aud There and Everywhere.
