Celebrating the Victory. It is net te be expected that the next four years will be an unending era of this genial Indian summer weather, nor that free bread and beef will be the order of every day ; but the most unreasonable Republican, if he is honest, will have te udmlt that there is no feature of the Democratic rejoicings ever victory, thus far, that is portentous te the best Interests of the re public. It is quite naturat that these festivities should be se gen eral and enthusiastic as they are ; that they should be of a popular character for the Democracy is the party of the people ; but the decorum add geed feel, ing which have characterized them are exceptional. In all of these respects the celebration of the Lancaster -Democracy yesterday was notable. The barbecue, the meeting and the parade, organized and arranged in tiiree days, were each in its own way. jiu entire success. Creditable as this was te the energy and capacity of the man agement and te the liberality of the sub scribers, it was in a greater measure due ta the geed temper of the people. Deep down in the popular heart is a feeling tbat a change of men and methods in t he administration of this government is a geed thing for the country and its peo ple. That is why se many Republicans are se (easily reconciled te the result ; and en that account it is tbat, while the office holding brigade nnd the narrow headed partisans Idle hard, the mass of the people de net mourn. Tnr. Xew Yerk Herald makes the re mark which ire made some time age in relation te the assault of the disap pointed Republicans upon peer Dr. Burchaid for the R. R. R. poison which he administered te Blaine ; namely that they should rather abuse Blaine than Burchard, since it was Blaine's failure te seize upon the occasion te rebuke Burchard and proclaim bis own free dom from sectarian feeling which ruined him. Burchard really gave Blaine the opportunity te make his elec tion sure ; but he was net quick wltted enough te seize it. A few1 years age he would have been equal te the occasion ; for this sort of quickness of perception and readiness te seize upon opportunity has been one et Blaine's characteristics. Evidently he lias failed in mental as in physical ability ; and his childish course since the election confirms the Idea that he Is a wreck. m m The death of Mr. Duncan, congress min and congressman-elect from the Yeik, Adams nnd Cumberland district, makes a double vacancy and Imposes upon the Democraey of tbat district the responsible duty of finding a fit successor te the accomplished and popular repre sentative whose decease they mourn. Whether under the comity existing be tween the counties, the successor be con con ceded te Adams or the contest is te ba opened up in every part of the district, it is te be hoped that the canvass will be conducted with decency and dignity. In the counties of Cumberland and Adams the party organization has been very badly tern up of late years, and it is new greatly weakened by factious wrangling and resulting recent defeats ; If this new calamity that has fallen upon it will chasten it with some com mon sense it will be an agreeable surprise. Tin: "official count" progresses in New Yerk and the longer it continues theflnner Cleveland's plurality becomes. Democrats need net be alarmed at the repqris sent out by the Associated Press of changes, losses or gains en its ilgures. Their unreliability has leDg been demonstrated. The leading news papers of Xew Yerk, which last week fixed Cleveland's plurality at between 1 ,00 and 1.200 keep it there and the public cap safely depend upon it that it will ba finally determined within theie bounds. Baitm:d m tnslr expectations in figuring up gains in the niral returns, the Republican maujcus prefeseed te V? " hope for big surprises when the city can TDM was made. In Kings county they gnawed a file and new they are having their teeth rasped ou the figures from New Yerk city. Eight Assembly dis tricts having been finished, Cleveland's plurality has been Increased by thirty votes. In view of this, it is no wonder our local Republican pelttlclnns are anxiously inquiring hew many there are yet te be h$ard from. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. They have get some of the Republicans se mad that they are hanging and burning St. Jehn in efflgy from Mentpeller te Topeka. That sort of demonstration is very well caculated te dissolve what is left of the late paity of Immoral ideas. Attkh all, the Democratic) Indian sum mer is the best. Ne one seems te have the norve te take the 2eu Era flag down. "When minUters set the suieidal cxample, hew can laymen be blamed ? November's meteors and November's Demoeratio jubilees ceme together.

Tue beautiful vermilion tint of the city last evenlng, was as nothing compared te the lurid crimson that was painted en the Demoeratio heart. The manner in which the local Democ racy shook their invincible locks, last evening, was an ioe water bath te the most heated Republican partisans. The Neie Era has sold its illuminating material and it is also faintly whispered that their flag will be glven te the first Republiean having the courage te haul it down. Concerning the Republican effort te change the registered will of the poeplo of New lerk, the phrase "Iirturmnt mentet ttnateelur ridieulut mm" is deliriously appropriate. PauauNAIi.

Ucata or UcDgreumaa W. A, Duncan. Private dispatches and a telegram from the Associated Press, this morning brought tbe news te Lancaster et the death of Hen. W. A. Duncan, in Gettysburg, at hl home there at 0:30 a. m. te-day. Mr. Duncan has been in very delioate health. suffering from consumption for two years or mere, anu ma death was net unex pected, though he survived the exeitament of a campaign and the suspeuse in whieh his condition was awaited by bis cenBtitu. enta who reneminated and re cleoted him te Cenaress this year. Mr. Duncan was a member of the well, known family of whieh C. M. and Augus tus Duncan,of Chamberebnrg.are brothers; and deceased was well known in this elty, having been a stndent and graduate of Franklin and Marshall coliego years age, a frequent visitor te ita commencements and the alumni orator only a few years age. A lawyer by profession and an aetive leader in the Damocratie politics et Ad ams county, he was nominated for Con gress two years age in tbe 10th district, oemposod of Yerk, Adams and Cumber land; he was elected by a large majority and served in Congress one, session with fidelity and satisfaction. He was renomi renemi nated without opposition, but was unable byroasen of his physical oenditlon te take an active part in the eampaign, though bis interest in the success of his party was unabated. His death will be the oeoasion of mueh regret among a wide olreie of friends, and will evoke great sympathy for his widow and family of bright oblldren. The event makes a vacancy for the short term of tbe present Congress, as well as in the repre sentation of the district in the next Heuse, and as seen as the speaker isiuea his writs, and the date of the new election Is fixed, the Demoerats of tbe different counties will no doubt take measures te make a new nomination. The succession will likely be conceded te Adams oeunty. uuLtmniA NICWH. Vrem Oar licgnlur Correspondent.

The canvass of the vote of New Yerk city went en slowly Thursday in the aldermanie chamber and resulted in re vealing nothing but the fact that in some districts there was se much rum.ignoraneo and carelessness, particularly rum, that the inspectors get muddled and did net make proper returns. The closest scrutiny, however, failed te show any fraud or at tempted fraud. The lawyers en eaeh side had little te de and the impression grows stronger with eaeh hour, among both Re publicans and Demoerats, that there will be no material change in the figures that show Cleveland's plurality te be ever 1,200. Seme confusion in the method of com paring tUe canvassed vete with the police returns led te the elaim that Blaine had gained two or three hundred votes en Thursday. This was an error of statement. The vote is being canvassed by Assembly districts, et which there are twenty-reur in the city net by eleotien districts, of which there are some nine hundred. Thus far the canvassed vete of each election dis trlct in the Assembly dlstriets canvassed tally with tbe figures for the corresponding election districts en the polleo list, whieh has heretofore been the published list. The Republicans virtually give the con test up. The Uribune's editorial Thursday finding fault with the manner of conduct ing the eampaign, and ita figures giving Cleveland the 1,200 and odd plurality, are virtually concessions. The canvass in this city will net be completed for several days. Eight out of the twenty.fenr dis tricts have been canvassed. Cleveland's set gain in six districts. The complete returns of six New Yerk eity Assembly districts telegraphed Thursday night show net less for Blaine of H03, net less for Cleveland of 80, and show an inorease In Cleveland's plurality of 167. This is in comparison with the limei of November 7. ALL BUT THREE COUNTIES I1KAUD PROM. Frem the New Tork Tlmes.

St. Lawrence added three te his vote, while Oneida and Columbia contributed one eaeh te the Blaine column.

A distinguished New Yerk Democrat writes Mr. Blaine, at Augusta, Me., (with whom he has been en terms of friendship for many years) complaining of the oeurse of the Ropubliean committee and express ing the hope tbat Mr. Blaine himself is making no attempt te influence the count of vetes in New Yerk. Mr. Blaine replied by askiug in what possible manner be oeuld ietluence It, direetly or lsdireetly, and then adds tbe following : "In tbe whole controversy I have had no deslre exespt for a fair count and an honest deolaratien of the result. I have seen no ether request made by the Repub lican national committee nor by any of its members. They have acted en their judgments at every step, and need no advice from me. I de net wish any polit ical supporter of mine in New Yerk te take tbe slightest advantage of mere teohnleal dofeets in any returns where the honest intention of the voter is expressed. I would far rather lese than gain by the exclusion of returns en mere teohnleal grounds. The presidency is net desirable if tbcre be the remotest taint en the ttle. A promotion of that kind no mere leads te honor than tbe possession of forged paper leads te wealth.' CLEVELAND PRESENTED WITH A HOME' BUOE. Seme tlme age Jehn J. Bhadt, of Allen town, sent a beautifully finished horseshoe bearing tbe word " Luek," te Governer Cleveland. The following aoknewledg ment was received by the donor Thursday : "Since tbe receipt of your present tbe contest has been decided in favor of the party whieh I represented. I shall give due credit te the horseshoo for what bu already happened, and shall earefully preserve it, in the hope that it may bring bucecus te my efforts te give te the people geed government."

The trial of William Wilsen, iudletcd for the murder et Jehn Dixen was pre eeeded with. The opening spoeeh was made by O. C. Kennedy. He said tbe commonwealth would preve that Jehn Dixen, a colored man, whose rosldenoo was in Salisbury township, was killed AAlaa ,. - - f T. 1 Rll IIH.l A cnrij uu me murninR ui uuuu iu.u,uuuu tne following circumstances : unaries Themas, Lewis Parker, William Wilsen, Jehn Dixen and Peter Woodburn met at the house et Woodburn en the evenlng of June 14, and finally decided te go te a danoe at Gcerge Woodburn's house, at the odge of seme weeds, one mite northeast of Mt. Vernen. At tbe Mt, Vernen hotel, Park or nnd Themas procured liquor whieh the party drank en tne read ; liquor was also sent ler from Woodburn's house. When the party broke up at an early hour en Sunday morning, Dixen was asked te accompany Woodburn, Park, er, Themas and Wilsen home. He re plied tbat he "was tee druuk te go home, but finally agreed te go with thorn. On the read home there was a seuflla en tbe turnplke betwoen Wilsen aud Dixen, and Wilsen was seen en the pike leaning ever Dixen pounding him In tbe face. Woodburn wanted te interfere nnii separate tne men, but Parker and Themas would net let him. After Wilsen ceased pounding Dixen, Woodburn picked up the body and carried it te the shed of the Mt. Vernen hotel, where an examination showed that the man was dead. A colored man named Green passing by at the time, suggested te Wilsen, Themas and Parker that they surrender themselves, and they at ence went te the office of Justloe Blaymaker and gave themselves up and confessed what they had done. The first witness called was Dr. A.O. B. Parke and he testitlcd te the nature of the wounds ou tbe head of Dixen, and in his opinion they caused death, lle also detailed the testimony given by WiUen at the coroner's Inquest. Thore Wilsen testified tbat they bad been le a party and that Dixen wanted a pistol tbat he thought Wilsen had ; that Dixen wai very mueh under the inrlnecce of liquor and wanted te fight with Wilsen ; that he refused nnd finally agreed te light, nna alter uixen was knocked down, he hit him three times with his hand ; be then asked Dixen whether he had enough and he received no reply ; he asked him a Bcoend time, and net reeeiving a reply looked mero closely at him and saw that he was dead. Woodburn took oharge of the body and Wilsen and his companions surrendered themselves te Justice Slaymaker. At tbat examination Wilsen admitted that he had a pistol, but could net tell the deputy coroner what had beoemo of It. Dr. J. M. Slaymaker, who assisted Dr. Parke in the pest-mortem examination, oeroborated that physician's testimony in reference te the nature of the wounds en Dixen's head and testified that death re sulted from the wounds. A. P. Slaymaker, justice et the pcace and deputy coroner of Salisbury township, testified that early en the morning of June 15, Parker, Wilsen, Themas and Wood Weed burn came te his heuse and told him they had some difficulty with Jehn Dixen and they thought he was dead. The testimony of the oelored men at the inquest was te the effect that Dixen wanted te fight with Parker, and that Parker said Dixen had once before whipped him and that he did net want te fisht : Dixen then asked Wilsen for a pistol and Wilsen refused te cive It te him; a me ment afterwards Wilsen ran at Dixen, struck him twice with the open hand. Wilsen alie told witness hew he took held of Dixen and threw him down. Peter Woodburn testified tbat he ae companied Wilsen, Dixen, Parker and Themas te the party at Geergo weed burn's en the 15th of June; wben tbe party was ever all left together, but after walking some distance witness wun sev eral women were ahead, and Parker, Themas, Dixen and Wilsen were behind; witness beard a fnss behind him and ran back: when be get te where tbe balance of the partv were, he saw Dixen layinrr en the turnplke, with Wil son standing ever him; be tried te separate the men but was preventcd by Parker and Themas, who told witness te let them fight it out; Wilsen struck Dixen once after witness get there ; he then went te Dixoe and asked him if he was hurt, te which he received no reply ; be then turned him en the side, saw tbat he was dead and asked Parker and Themas te help te carry him te tbe Mt. Vernen hotel sheds, but they refused. Harriet and Lizzie Peters, who were with Woodburn, en tbe read home from tbe party, corroborated his testimony, Seweli Green testified tbat he advised Wilsen, Parker and Themas te surrender themselves after they told him tbat Dixen was killed in the uuarrel. Adjourned te 0 o'cleok en Friday morning. Friday Morning. At the opening of oeurt tbe commonwealth said they had no ether evidence te submit in tbe Wilsen murder case. The defense was that Dixeu was killed in self-defense by Wilsen ; that Dixen pre veked tbe quarrel and Wilsen did net want te fight with him and did net strike the first blew, and tbat Wilsen struck Dixen only after he had been assaulted. The de fense also called witnesses te show tbat Dixen was a man of bad character and very quarrelsome. The commonwealth rebutted this by calling a number of witnesses who testified that his reputation for peaee was geed. The testimony closed at 10 o'cleok and when oeurtadjourned the case bad net been given te the jury. Little Locals. Peter B.

Nearly two soere of waiters started te band around the sandwiohes prepared, and the coffee was passed out in stoneware cups. A thousand wooden platters were in service; and as fast as they oeuld be oirried te the tables and laid upon them, they wero emptied.

A number of business men and ethors of the neighbor hood went te the soeiin and in a short time extinguished the fir a with buckets of water. The services of the flre depart ment wero net needed, although they were en the ground. Tbe damage was net great. A plle of shavings and no v eral ehairs were burned and tbe fleer slightly charred, The flre was the work of an lncendlary, and it is supposed that he orawled te the deer of the second story upon a pile of boxes and put the lighted mateh nnder the deer. the second fire, Abent 11 o'elook the second alarm of fire was sounded from box 2Q, nt Market and Chestnut streets. Some gentlemen were standing en North Quceu street, near the depot, when they saw smeke itsuiug from the store next te Fllnu & Breneman, whieh is owned by Charles Ileman, and oceupied by L. W.

Tbe flre was caused by the Btove, whieh was red het all ever wben it was discovered. Mr. Greff estimates his less at $2,800. IIe is insured with O. B.
