aCKIiU1 TCtfRSTI LANCASTER DAELY mTELMGrENCER FRIDAY APRIL 6. 1S83. Hancaster JFntelUgcnrg;. . FBIDAY EVENING, ATBUi 6. 1883. Blocking the Game. Tliere has been a very interesting de bate in the Senate en the free pipe bill. A vigorous opposition was unavailingly made te the demand of the oil regions for a free passage of pipe lines te the seaboard. Senater Cooper headed the opposition, and again had a very fair loekine foundation te stand en, as lie had in his effort te give the railroad corporations permission te grant free passes for " benevolent and charitable " purposes. But Senater Cooper seems te be in bad odor. Somehow he is strongly suspected of being a corporation servant. He bobs up at every opportunity in ad vocacy of the corporation interests. He avows that he is purity itself in his as pirations. He declares that it is the interest of the Delaware county farmers that he represents in declaring himself against free pipe lines. But it is the strangest coincidence ' that in devoting himself te the farmers and te charity and the rights of man, he always finds himself running in'the direction great corporations point out. Perhaps the corporations have wisely concluded that the interests of the peo ple are their interests, and se get into Mr. Cooper's company in the advocacy of legislation for the benefit of the peo ple ; or it may be that Senater Cooper misjudges the popular interest ; or, worst and saddest of all, the senator may he a wolf in sheep's clothing, pretending te be what he is net. Senater Cooper in the debate was very pointedly accused of being the ad vocate of the Standard oil company. lie indignantly denied the charge, declaring that he hated that company as much as any man possibly could and would tin ot et tle it if he get a chance. Fer the pres ent then we will conclude that it is only a peculiar coincidence that leads Senater Cooper se strongly te that side of the oil Dipe question en which the Standard stands. That company new has pipe lines te the seaboard and wherever else it wants te go. It has secured them by purchasing the use of their land from the land owners. It has even bargained with them that they will allow no ether pipe line en their lands. It wants a mo nopoly of pipe lines. It proposes te keep any ether line from reaching the sea, by putting a barrier of land that it controls all along the line of approach te the ocean. The aim of the present bill is te block this blocking game. It is proposed te give any pipe line authority te enter upon the land in its course, even without the consent of the owner, upon proper compensation being made. The state's right of eminent domain is te be given te pipe line companies. It is safe te say that such a preposition would have no chance of a favorable hearing in the Senate but for the appar ent necessity for it as a mean- of check, ing the monopolizing schemes of the Standard oil company. Ne corporation has ever existed which Las made itself se obnoxious te the people, and their repre sentatives in the Legislature stand ready te de anything they may de te cripple it. Perhaps it would be beiter te attack it at once wim an axe and drop it dewu. It certainly has justly forfeited its chartered priv ileges. The men who control i have been guilty of that which should put them in the penitentiary. They are se deeply despised that there is no one te say a geed word for them. There is net a man found in the Senate te defend them. Senater Cooper, who champions the cause they favor, does it while professing his hatred for them. They are se vile that no defense of them is possible. And yet they boldly conduct their operations in the state under the protection of then foreign charter,and the Legislature finds no better protection for the people against their aggressions than by a grant of doubtful propriety te ethers of its right of eminent domain. This grant has been hedged around and re stricted in such a way that it is net likely te result in oppression. And in fact it is declared te be very improbable thab any pipe line will ever"be laid under it. It is avowed that the only aim in demanding this con ference of the state's right of em inent domain is te show the Standard company that it cannot cork up and have at its mercy all the oil in the state. When it is satisfied that it cannot prevent ether pipe lines it will give the use of these it controls te all who desire te have them ; and there are said te be enough new laid te satisfy every com mercial need if their facilities are freely extended te all. The development of the debate was that the Pennsylania railroad company was interested with the Standard oil company in defeat ing the bill. It came out clearly enough "when in response te an inquiry whether any senator had received any letters from the farmers among his con stituents protesting against the bill, our Senater Stehman triumphantly declared that he had one, and produced, and caused te be read, a letter from whom de you think ? Don't laugh when you hear that it was from our esteemed friend, Jehn Keller, who knows everything about a railroad con tract, and who is a most ex cellent barometer of the state of the Pennsylvania railroad atmosphere. Mr. Keller asks Senater Stehman te have the pipe bill reconsidered " se that the farmers of Eastern Pennsylvania could be heard. Yeu and our friend Mylin de all you can. If this should be come a law they can place jury en any farm; and en any part of same, and place their pipes and let a jury make the damage." Our friend Keller seems te have a lively idea of the iniquity of put ting "a jury en any farm" and letting it "make the damage." He knows just hew it is himself, it being his province te put these juries en the farms in this neighborhood for the Pennsylvania rail road. Mr. Keller seems te think it is a bad thing te let a jury take possession of a man's property, whether he will or no. And se it is ; but it is net se bad te bury an inoffensive pipe line under the land as te run a rattling, fiery train of ears eyer it. Civilization and mercy seem te enter everywhere but into almshouses. Tue distinguished cantatrice, Patti, is having a law suit with a former music tsacher.

Tuc Pittsburgh Dispatch says : There are seme hundreds of miles of pipe line new running through the agricultural regions of the state outside of tbe oil couu ceuu try. Ne injury te the farms has been heard of from them, and in runuing oppo sition pipe lines through the state no ob stacle has ever been encountered when purely agricultural intcrests were te be dealt with. It was when it became neces sary te cress property owned or controlled by the Standard oil company, tbat tbe iudepenilent lines were brought te a halt. Pakis is exoited ever tbe reproduction of a prophetic saw attributed te the famous Mestradaraus who lived in the 16th cen tury, cured plagues, eradictatcd diseases and was popularly credited with tbe gift of prophecy and knowledge far above ether mortals. The prediction gives notice, in net the best cf French rhythm, tbat in tbe year 18S3, when the buds abound, from aunoyance and rnischance a lame man is te rescue France. It is much en tbe style of the late Mether Shipton's prophecy of the day of deem, and although it does net deal with se weighty a subject, it is likely te be fulfilled iusthe same way. The governments of the old world seem te be swaying amidst a dcluge of impreccdented horrors. England is as tounded at the unearthing of the most important dynamite faoteiy ever discover ed, the arrest of four conspirators in Len den and ene in Birmingham, au attempt en a government magazine in Ireland, and the reception of au incendiary letter in Len den. In Russia a terrible and audacious scheme of Nihilists te blew up the royal abede at Moscow has been discovered. Tbe Danish government is having treuble with its Socialists. France's troubles are in no way lessened and in Servia insurrcc insurrcc tery demonstrations are making things decidedly uncomfortable. The resume is portentous and the prospects for quiet are gloomy indeed. The extensive adulterations iu this country of various articles of subsistence soem te have mere than a parallel in the practices of the Austrians and Germans. United States Consel Tanner, stationed at Liege, in his last report gives some in sight of the mulifarieus objects that are lessened in value and cheapened in price by the impleyment of foreign ingredients. In Germany coal oil is sold in three grades, tbe first quality being slightly dashed, tlie second considerably se, and the third se heavily as " hardly te be detected by its eldest and most intimate acquaintance." The science of dilution is carried te an alarming degree into everything liquid and adulteration into everything solid. The former are poisoned with all sorts of concoctions, and the latter mixed with ingredients as nauseating as they are dangerous. Even woolen goods are adul terated with wool from rags that are passed through a machine, reconverted into wool and largely exported into this coun try. They have new discovered a new fibre known as cosmos, which is extremely injurious te health and often produces dangerous eruptions upon these who wear it. The lard, flour and ether products that we expert are also doctored by tbe Germans, who are se exceedingly fearful of the injurious qualities of American perk. A Destitute Family in a Hogshead. In Wilkesbarre, Daniel Wright, the father of a large family, was caught a month age in the act of stealing soma goods from a store, was arrested and com cem mitted te jail. The first of April arriving and the rent net being paid up the wife and her three children were compelled te vacate their house. The unfortunate woman and her children were found ledged in a hogshead en a vacant let in the northern part of the city famishing with hunger and suffering from the cold. Steps were immediately taken for Iheir relief. DYNAMITE. LATE SENSATIONS IN ENGLAND. Discovery of a Fenian Nltre-s'ycerlne Fac tory iu Birmingham Kun Dy au Irish American Important Arrests. Louden happenings Thursday include the unearthing of the most important dy namite factory ever discovered, the arrest of four ruiu breeders in Londen and one in Birmingham, an attempt en a govern ment magazine in Ireland and the recep tion of an incendiary letter in Londen. The excitement ever these occurrences was net confined te the government offices, but was apparent te the most casual ob server en the street. The prompt and active precautionary steps that were taken by government officials were highly com mended en all sides. Net only was the posteffice and neighboring government property put under an increased guard, but the royal residence at Windser was sup plied with a large force of sentinels, who were, however, sent thither iu a private and ostentatious manner. This was rendered mere necessary be cause it was known te government officials that, in connection with the discovery of the dyuamite factory, at Bir mingham, a report was received that seme conspirators were already en their way te Windser from Birmingham. It is sUted with seme confidence in official circles that there is reason te be be lieve tbat the whele incendiary aud dyna mite conspiracy, both thore and in America will new be laid bare, and tbat tbe num ber of arrests will shortly increase. It has been learned that the man first arrested Thursday night near Fleet street, had engaged rooms en Southamp ton street, corner of the Strand, giving the name of Ormuud, and stating that he was a medical student. Subsequently he said that bis correct name was Nermau. Tbe first inquiry for the rooms was made by an elderly man. The box of explosives was taken te Nerman's lodgings by a person of rakish appearance, who looked mero like a tramp or a street loafer than a por ter or the friend of a medical student. It is believed tbat both this individual aud the olderly man have' been indeutificd in tbe persons of the two men arrested at Lambeth yesterday. One of these men had in his peckets aud sewn up iu his clothing a large sum of money, a portieu of which was reported as being iu Amer ican coins. It is a significant feature of the arrests that street rumor made free use of the Ameiican name and connected many lush-Americans with the plots. One of the Lambeth prisoners had secured lodgings in the name of Wilsen. II is movements, however, excited se much suspicion among his neighbors that he left his room yesterday, saying tbat it was his intention te go te Wolverhampton. When he returned at neon te day he' was sur prised te find detectives awaitiug him. ISermau undoubtedly came direct from Birmingham. The place whero he was stepping was just ever the office where is printed the Court Circular. The proprie tor of that sheet recently received letters containing dire threats, the origin of which he lias new no difficulty in tracing te the prisoner. The fourth arrest of the day .was that of Henry Dalten, who was taken into custody List evening. He came from the United States only about two weeks age. He was found at the rooms of the American exchange, and made no resist resist auce when informed of the crraud of the officers. Dalten was cenfiucd iu the jail at Scotland Yard. There is no less sensation in the Heuse of Commens when these arrests wero an an neunced thau elsewhere. Sir William Harcourt, home secretary, in a brief speech outlining the facts, confirmed what had, up te this time, been merely a rumor, that Nerman had been put under arrest. II e added that ene hundred aud fifty pounds of a highly explosive liquid had been found in Nerman's quarters and that it was stored iu skillfully devised rubber bags. He also confirmed the discovery of the dynamite manufactory at Brimingham, and gave the particulars of the affair sub sequently as related in the dispatches. He said further that a considerable amount of the same kiud of explosive had been discovered in tbe rooms of the Lambeth prisoners, and that a part of the money en one of these men was iu American hank notes. That thcte was a connection between the arrest and discovery at Birmingham and these iu Londen is shewu by an acci dent which has just ceme te light. The home secretary during the asteruoeu sent a dispatch te Birmingham asking that the authorities remand Whitehead for a week. Tbe same action will be taken under the same direction iu the case of Nerman. The magistrate at Bew street waited until latein the afternoon for instructions in regard te Nermau aud his two Lambeth accomplices, aud finally receiving a tele gram from tbe home secretary auneunccd that no formal charge would be brought against the three prisoners. They were accordingly remanded. Tne Birmingham Factory. The uitro-glycerine factory referred te above was discovered! by the Birmingham police in Lodsem street, Ladywoed, and was in full operation. The appatatus for preparing aud mixing the explosive com pounds was constituted en scieutific prin ciples, and with all the cunning craft which clearly showed its inventor te be net only a thorough scholar iu chemistry aud machinery, but also au adept in ma chinery. Among the noteworthy features of the place was a shrewdly devised meth od for carrying the flames up the chimuey and consuming the odors. It is learned that the premises iu Led -sem street wero taken ' two mouths age by a man named Whitehead, an Irish American, who has a sign hung out in front of his place indicating that his business was that of a paper haugcr. A considerable quantity of nitro nitre nitro glycerino was seized by the officers at the same time. Information new in tbe hands of detectives tends te demenstrate that this place is the central manufactory of explosives, and the most important depot of all infernal contrivances in the king dom. Whitehead, who is described as a man about twenty-five years of age, dark in complexion, and with a marked Ameri can accent, has been in the habit of purchasing- the supplies of nitre-glycerine and acids which were necessary te run the business. Whitehead, who was arrested when the descent was made en the factory, was brought before the magistrate in Birming ham yesterday afternoon aud remanded ler one week. The charge placed against his name in the record book is that of having in his possession explosive com pounds and materials in violation of the law. At the examination ovidence was given showing that pelice detectives had followed Nerman, who was arrested in Londen, from Whitehead's house in Bir mingham. He took away from Whito White hsad's a box. Among the ether material seized at the " paper hanger's " wero eight gallons of mysterious liquid con tained in tins, seme sulphuric acid and a quantity of nitre-glycerine. The prisener, when arraigned, assumed an air of su preeo indifference, and refused te parley with the officers of the court or -even te answer questions. The Attack en the Barrack. The attempt en the barracks relerred te above was at Newyy, Ireland, where are situated large government infantry bar racks. The sentinel standing guard ever the powder magazine last night challenged a man who was discovered scaling a wall. The sentry fired a shot and gave the alarm. The search for the intruder which followed was fruitless, but the guard was doubled and orders were issued te take every precaution te prevent a surprise. I he Ventral News says the rubber bags ' found the Nerman's question contained nitre-glycerine in sufficient quantity te blew up any town in the kingdom. The police believe that Nerman was engaged in carrying out the dynamite doctrines which are particularly festered by O'Don O'Den O'Don evan Ressa. Henry Dalten in a man of short stature and iu peck-marked. He was au occasional caller at Bewer's Amer ican reading-room, at 14 Strand. His ar rest was effected owing te information derived from papers found ou the ether prisoner. CKIDIK AND CALAMITY. Olie Day's llloedy Incident ana Accidents. In Shrewsbury, F.

Barney Deyle and his two little girls, aged five aud seven years respectively, wero found murdered in Deyle's grocery, at West Union, Doddridge" ceuuty, W. Va., at midnight. The murders were committed with a hatchet, which was found near by. Deylo was cut all te pieces. More than a score of gashes mark his perseu, several of them ou his head. Near by Deylo lay the bodies of the chil dren, who had been in bed and had been awakened by au attack en their father, only te be killed by the murderer for the purpose of concealing his identity. Oue of the children was dead wheu found, but the elder of the two exhibited sigus of animation aud by dint of great care she was restored te consciousness long enough te tell that the murderer was James Harper, a worthless fellow who lives near the eccne of the tragedy. Uarper does various work for a liveli heed and at night fiddles for oeuutry dances. The motive for the murder could readily be determined, for in the room in which it was committed au old fashioned hair covered trunk, with its lid shivered te kindling weed, was found iu a corner, its late contents scattered about the room. Silver coins wero feuud everywhere, which the robber dropped in his flight. Deyle was a widower and kept his grocery as a blind for tleing au illicit liquor busiuess. This he carried ou for years, and it is thought tbat he had accu mulated a large sum of money, which he boasted he would net trust te the banks, but would keep uuder his own cye. The robber must certainly have obtained several thousand dollars, if the lowest esti mate of the contents of the chest is at all accurate It is thought that Harper had assistance in his crime, aud a man named McKiuley has been arrested as an acces sery. Anether man named Weekly is also suspected of complicity, aud he is new uuder bail for threatening te kill Deyle ler seducing nis who. A Dwelling Burned at Shuuiekiu.

Secretary Chandler was pointing out te tne president the earth works and ethor interesting points of that fiercely contested battle field. "Tickets," said the eonducter. As the president had been invited te take the trip ever the read as its guest, the con ductor's demand was rather embarrassing. "Have you passes?" asked thoceuduotor. They had no passes. "Have you tickets ?" They had no tickets. " Then you will have te pay lare from Welden te Peters, burg." This conversation was carried en with Private Soeretary Phillips, but the presi dent heard it, and he looked en with an amused smile ; but when the conductor aid that he should have te charge them $47, that is, for the full capacity of the private ear, whieh is built for eighteen persons, there was some disposition te argue the point with the conductor, but he steed firm.
