SATUBDAY EVENING. JUNE 9. 1883.
The Meral in tbe Tale.
Mr. Haveriy, who "runs minstrel shows
and theatres by the dozen, and speculates
in silver mines and ether things during
his leisure hours, having collapsed finan
cially, the newspapers are seizing the
occasion, in the dullness of news topics,
te draw tbe moral from the tale. It is
conceived te be a valuable lessen te
young men, warning them net te have
tee many irons in the fire, but te listen
te the conservative advice of peer
Richard and strive te get rich in the ap
proved but slew methods of their ances
tors. That is a geed lessen te teach,
no doubt, and a geed moral te draw
from Mr. Jack Ilaverly's experience.
There might be a number of ether lessens
drawn from it ; in truth Mr. Haveriy
may be a fruitful theme for comment te
editors, preachers and all this class of
people, whose business it is te talk, and
who are consequently vastly better in
words than in practice and stronger in
theory than example.
Mr. Jack Ilaverly's career has been
brief and brilliant in its way. He was
a child of luck. Luck was his profes
sion. His talent developed itself some
what late however. Having gene
into gambling a3 a business, he became
recognized as one of the denomination
called " shoe string." This term it
seems embraces these in the profession
who win enough te hang en te it by the
eyelids ; they neither lese se steadily as
te be constantly burst, nor win se
generally as te be always Hush. Mr.
Haveriy while in this chrysalis condition
lived out west. He reversed the order
of emigration and c.ime east. Seint!
where up in Yerk state he sat down,
upon his arrival, before a fare table and
when he arose he had some 14,000 in his
pocket. That was the end of the shoe
string state for Jack Haveriy. He went
out of gambling with chips and entered
with his money into another style of
speculation the species minstrel show.
Being a highly speculative businesj
it had strong attractions for Mr.
Haveriy. It was a toss up every
night whether he would "have hundreds
of dollars or cents in his audh-nccs. Mr.
Haveriy '.s luck continued. His one

grew te be the owner of many. His

The colossal fortunes we new knew are
net possibly made without that hazard
which is taken en the turning of the die,
and which is .suppe.-ed te make what h
ordinarily known as gambling a publu:
injury. There are oilier elements in
such speculation, it is true The suc
cessful speculator differs from the com
inen gambler, in the fact that theie
are elements in the operation
which his superior sagacity enables
him te read as indications thai events
will happen as he wagers I hey will. But
ifliis sagacity is peer, he loses even mere
certainly than he would in wholly trust
ing te chance. The most of people who
speculate de it wholly without the
exercise or judgment ami trusting as
blindly te chance as these who gamble
around the fare table. It is human na.
ture ; aud even though it is considered
iniurieus te the state that its citizens
should be thus permitted te hazard theii
money, it would be an unsuccessful
struggle with the Almighty which t In
state would essay iu attempting te for
bid it.
It is no part of the state's duty te held
the money iu the. pockets of its citizens
which they wish le spend, provided they
are iu sound mind and are net cheat
ed. .People are no doubt cheated, often
and generally ,in lotteries and at the gam
ing tables ; but net oftener nor mere
generally than they are at the stock
beard or the oil, produce ami mining
exchanges. Every one knows that iu
these markets every possible expedient
is used by the weives te feed upon the
lambs who rashly assemble there, Ne
one doubts that the gigantic fei tunes
which have been swollen iu this young
country te a greater size than is known
in anv ether country in the world, have
been gathered together by fraud and de
ceit ; and that they would never have
been gained by the practice of the hon
orable mercantile principles of dealing
that are approved by our seii3C aud
sanctioned by our traditions; aud which
it is undoubtedly the duty of the state
te declare and defend. In no e! her coun
try could the practices of the unscrupu
leus money getter be se openly lawless
and wrong as they have beeu and are in
this ; and hence te a large extent come
the greater individual fortunes which
make us illustrious (?) among the na-
tiens.
Mr. Jack Haveriy, though a gambler,
WW net a cheat. Mr. Haveriy ventured
bis money and lest it. He did net steal
it, If Mr. Haveriy had been less honest
.

he might, for instance, have stocked tht

Perhaps the newspapers while they are
considering the warning te young men
afforded by Mr. Haverly's many het
irons in tbe fire might tell us whether
they think be wenld have been an ex
emplar if he had let ethers be burned
instead of himself.
TnE Philadelphia Bulletin, which sets
itself up as an authority en a great many
things some of which it knows all about
and of some it seems te be hopelessly
ignorant thus criticises what it calls
the grammar of the governor's last mes.
sage te the Legislature :
He says :"We continue a flagrant leg leg
islative default and occupy a position in
every way reprehensible, inexcusable and
defiant of law." Tbe use of " default "
is rather affected, but what shall we say of
the three adjectives, " reprehensible of,
" inexcusable of " and " detiant of ?" In
Philadelphia no child would talk about
"a position inexcusable of law ;" if that is
the official usage, it ought te be corrected.
Even the governor, with all his preroga
tives, has no right te speak bad grammar.
Te appreciate .the force of the above
criticism, it need only te be observed
that the form of speechwhich it criticises
is the Bulletin's ewu invention and is
net used by the governor at all. He uses
the expression "defiant of" which is
correct. The ether "of's" are the Bul
letin's interpolations ; they are ueither
expressed nor implied by the governor's
language, and the Bulletins hypercriti
cism is " reprehensible, inexcusable
and defiant of" the rules of grammar.

The Reck Island water works had be
come practically useless, their supply
being reduced from the usual 27,000,000
gallons daily te 0,000,000, and the mystery
deepened daily until a scientific gent took

catfish in sections and the subsequent pre.

According te the New Yerk cerres
pendent of the Ledger, ' Senater Beck, of
Kentucky, is looked upon us a possible
'dark herse' in the next Democratic na
tional couveutieu." The discussion of his
naine iu this connection must be confined
te people who are ignorant of the censti
tutieu or of the fact that Beck was born in
Scotland.
Tin: Lycoming Chronicle, the newspaper
established and owned at the time of his
death, by the late veteran editor, Cel.
Ljvi L. Tate, has beeu bought by Jehn B.
Heilly, railroad contractor, and if he
pushes it with his customary energy and
enterprise he will wake up the Lycoming
county Democracy. But even a little
newspaper is a bigger contract than a
great job e( raiheading.
It seems te be even easier te start a
panic than a fire. A big dragon tly, such
as children call "snake doctor" and
"devil's darning needle" Hew into a New
Yerk school room yesterday, and the '.171
children bacame panic stricken, then- cries
excited anether thousand in th same
building, an alarm of lira was raised and
in an incredibly short time the street was
blocked by a mob 2,000 strong, wailtug,
crying, shouting and trampling en each
ether in their efforts te get into the school
house te their children ; while inside the
children were nearly as frantic te get out.
A lew lessens iu practical ontymelogy and

building iu times of real dauger might be

escape by breaking open the cell deer,
which let tbem into the con ider, and then
they broke tbe padlock en the deer lead

climbed out of the shnte that leads up te

Tne Washington rin uecapaay Injunction
Current Business Transaetud.
Court met this morning at 10 o'clock.
Beth judges were present and considerable
current business was transacted.
In the rule for a mandamus en the
county commissioners directing them te
reerect the bridge across the Conestoga,
formerly known as "Binkley's Bridge,"
which was recently destroyed by fire, the
defendants this morning filed an answer,
thosubstanee of which is as follews:
That this bridge was destroyed by ice in
18G7 and after the destruction thoreof en
petition of the inhabitants the court of
quarter sessions appointed bridge viewers
who reported te the said court that a
bridge was necessary, that tha erection of
the same would be tee expensive for the
adjoining townships and located the same,
as described in relaters' petition, but the
defendants deuy that it appeared te the
court of quarter sessions, grand jury and
commissioners of the county, that such
bridge was necessary or that it was enter
ed of record a county bridge, and they
aver that was the said report of viewers
referred te tbe grand jury of the ceuuty,
and was by them returned disaffirmed,
that this action of the grand jury was
never set aside by the court for irregular
ity or ether cause ; that no erigiual pro
ceedings by petition and view etherwise
were ever thereafter comtnencod in rela
tion te said bridge.
They deny that said bridge was erected
by the county commissioners at the ex
pense of the county, as alleged in the pe
tition, and aver that tbe county commis
sioners, conjointly with the New Helland
turnpike company by agreement entered
between them erected the bridge at their
joint expense, and that immediately upon
the completion of the same the said turn
pike company claimed and exercised
cxclusive control ever it and insured it as
its own property prier te its destruction
by fire.
They deny that thore is auy existing
necessity for a bridge at the place men
tioned in tbe petition for the accommoda
tion of the public, or that the reads and
public travel are entirely cut oil" te the
injury and inconvenience of the public
and ever that the public travel, save such
as passes ever the New Helland turnpike,
is amply accommodated by another bridge
ever the said creek, within a half inile of
the place designated for the proponed
bridge.
That the Conestoga, at the point da
scribed and where said bridge was located,
does net cress a public read or highway,
but that said hi idge was located at a
point where the New Helland turnpikn.
crossed the creek, aud was en tbe line of
aud formed a part of the turnpike read.
That the said New Helland turupike
company is a cer parat ion chartered, and
has exclusive ewnershipaud control of tbe
said turnpike from Hlue Ball tavorute the
city of Lancaster, and that the said bridge
cannot be reached except by passing ever
the said turnpike, that tbe ends or abut
ments of said bridge rest upon the read
bed of said turnpike cempauy exclusively,
aud the public have no right of way, ever
thi ame but bycompliance with the condi
tions which thi) turupike cempauy bave a
right te impose te wit : the payment of
tell.
That since the dest Mictien of the said
bridge by fire no proceedings of the inhab
itants te view or otherwiso determine the
necessity of its reerectieu have been pre
sented. That the cennty commissioners cannot
be compelled against their discretion te
erect a bridge at tbe exclusive cost of tbe
county. That under the previsions of the
act of Assembly eutitled " a supplement
te act relating te bridges in Lancaster
county," it is tbe duty of tbe New Helland
turnpike company te rebuild said bridge
at their own expense,'aud a specific remedy
is therein provided in case et their failuru
te de se.
The defendants, therefore, prayjudg
ment against the petitioners and that
they may recover their costs iu this be
half.
The petitien was signed by the thice
commissioners.
