IMriif TJicm ( Tell Me Tralh. ? 0OTwner Cleveland haa talked te a New a- Tork newspaper reporter in a way which -afeMtd make an Impression upon the v fraternity and upon their employers as lliaU. He wanted te knew why they if men ae fend of manufacturing false taformatleD, when they could get true information by asking for it. He was willing te tell anyone all that he knew About his cabinet; or any ether matter 'Of general Interest ; and be failed te see te print in making him say and de tbtatfs which he bad never said or done, less, perhaps, the newspaper man was seeking te test his skill at foretelling the nknewn. The governor la evidently sTraased at the groundless sketch of the wperter'a fancy and his absolute lack of use for any foundation for his lmaglna tien'a work. He Is impecunious and lazy, tee, very eften.nnd finds it cheaper and easier te write his tale in New YerK and date it Albany, than It would be te go te the capitol in person te see the governor, of whose talk and intentions he undertakes te tell. A few of the f raternlty may be timid withal, and fearful about their success in seeking the governor's pres ence en a supremely impudent mission. There are a few unfortunate people con demned te be reporters en the metropoli tan press who bave net the sen sibilities of the rhinoceros, and find it difficult te get up the necessary courage for the work expected from them. The really guilty person is net the reporter, but the editor ; who again will say that the blame is upon the public, who de mand interesting matter, regardless of the truth. But that is surely a mistake. Ne one cares te read for newa what he knows te be also. It is only the chance that It is true that makes it interesting ; and this chance is getting se slim as te make newspaper reading very unprefita ble. The steady stream of falsehood disgusts people of sense, whose feeling Gov. Cleveland represents. It is altogether likely that he will take an early opportunity te teach the reporters something. He was especially aggrieved aUhe reported lack et cordiality between Gov. Hendricks and himself at their meeting, and declared that such mis representation he would net submit te. If it is possible for him, as president, te convince n reporter of the beauty of telling the truth, he 4011 have done enough te make his life Illustrious. Convicted of Cannibalism. The English court which has had under consideration the conduct of the sailors who, reduced te starvation, killed and nte their comrade, has approved the special verdlet of the jury which found the facts. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, in proneuueing the decision of the court, enid all the judges agreed that the act et the prisoners amounted te murder and the conviction must be affirmed, as the court was unwilling te set a precedent which would allow such a crime te be considered ether than a murder. As stated in a recent review of this remarkable and unprecedented case the I decision is a landmark in Jurisprudence. "While law writers have speculated upon the proper view et such cases, and have shown an Increasing humanity with the progress of civilization, there is no exact precedent for the decision Just pro nounced. As a principle it may be af. firmed, with many law writers, that "it is never the right of one te deprive an Innocent third person of life for the preservation of his own.' That is certainly in accord with the Christian cede and the spirit of modern law. Te let a man be the arbiter of his own necessity te such an extent as te determine the sacrifice of his fellow, would be ft dangerous concession. Te maintain that the survival of the stronger of two imperilled would be best for so ciety is a barbarous doctrine, and only another form of the ancient decree that murdered tbe cripples and weaklings. But it does seem te be an entirely rational theory that no man would re sort te killing and eating another until he had been reduced te that intense de gree et starvation which the best au thorities agree would rob him of his rea son and make him irresponsible for his acts. It is humane and scientific and sound in law te assume this. The cir cumstances may show the contrary and make out a case of murder, but the burden of proof should be en the side of the state in such cases. Tnii Tribune, dislodged from its posi tion that Blaine has a plurality of the popular vote, getB up en its hind legs and howls that he at least has a plu rality in the North. Nobody will dis pute this, but when the Tribunt declares that in the Seuth " there can be no reasonable doubt that, net only 400,000. but a very much larger number or voters, were wrongfully deprived of their rights et suffrage," it simply lies. There is no evidence of nnysucn thing. The elections Seuth, for all shown te the contrary, were as fair and free as In tbe North ; and if the vote was net as full it was simply because n, larger number of Republicans there felt their votes would net avail, and a larger number of Demo crats knew theirs were net needed. If the 2Yieune will turn its attention te n profounder study of the tabu lated popular vote it will discover that the Democrats gained 340,832 votes In the Northern states since 1860, while the Republicans increased only 222,677 ; In New England, the home of Blaine and the cradle of Republicanism, the Democrats lest only 1,813, and the Blalneltes lest 8,220. This is the file for the aVttune te break or sharpen its teeth en. It is net te be forgotten that Mr. Blaine has a libel suit pending against the Indianapolis Sentinel He started it with an avowed purpose which no" elec tlen result should change, If he was truthful and honest in his alleged mo tives. The honor et his family Is as much la need of vindication since he is at defeated candidate for president as "aa he was a hopeful aspirant. The knight who set out na the Cham pien of the American fireside should net be halted in his crusade because he has been unhorsed in the political arena. The higher mission is still befere him. Will he pursue it ? As a matter et course the Bosten court, which had beforttbe case of newspaper reporters held for contempt, has adjudged that n journal is net obliged te tell a grand jury the sources of tne information it prints. The pub Ushers of a newspaper are very properly held te a strict accountability, civilly and criminally, for what they publish ; and If they de any hurt they can be made te suffer for It, as an Individual who retails slander can be held te answer in damages for it. But that either can be compelled te tell who told him is a re versal of the plainest principles of law excluding hearsay testimony. The Republican candidate for gov gev gov erner in Connecticut takes his seat by the operation of nn antiquated law which throws the election Inte the Legislature, when none of the nominees gets an absolute major lty ever all ethers. Waller, the Deme cratic candidate had mere actual votes than Harrison, the Republican, and though excluded from the seat he wen, he has merited and receives the admira tien of the party throughout the country for the courage, the discre Hen and the self-sacrifilng spirit with which he led the fight that captured the electoral vote of Connecticut for the Democratic candidates for president and vice president. Tue motion te give Grant a pension is ill-timed and should fall. 'When he left the army te take the presidency, the stliry of which was doubled for him, he forfeited his right te a pension. lie did net regain it by any civil act or by his commercial career. The fund of $250, ,00 raised for him bears six per cent, and is guaranteed by responsible endorse ment. He has enough. Ot insatiate maw, like the daughters of the horse leech his cry will be " Give, Give," as long as he can make his voice heard. But it need net be heeded. He will never knew when he has enough. Jens Kellt is said te be stated for New Yerk colleatership. the MOTHER MaNDELBACM's flight te Canada should hasten an extradition treaty between the United States and Great Britain. The Yerk county doctors have adopted a resolution requesting tbe local cows papers "net te publish the name of any member in connection with any surgical operation, aoeident or case of sickness."

Despite Republican efforts, sectional ism is nearly dead. What could have been mere patriotic than the act of North Carolina in fashioning a star spangled banner from the ballets, printed upon silk grown in the state, used in casting the eleoteral vote for Cleveland ?

Mankind leves te be heed winked.

These fair beings who regard them as spots that may be washed away, should remember that their seurce lies net en but beneath the skin, all patent prepa rations te the centiary notwithstanding. If there has been auy fraud practiced en the returns in any preoieot in tbe Sixth senatorial dlstriet of Illinois, or anywhere else, it is rlgnt that the guilty parties should be brought te justice. Ne party, even en the low ground of ox ex ox pedleney, can afford te condone any tampering with the ballet.

Mr. Yeung was having a well dug near his heuse and bad used powder for blast ing. This proving ineffectual en account of the excessive hardness of the reek, a nephew, Gaergo Yeung, et Lewell, who was visiting him, procured a quan tity of dynamite.

Had net the wheel of the cnglue caught against a hoary hltehlng pest, it would have cone through the window into the store, aud probably Inte tbe cellar, as its weight is about six tens. Fortunately it get no farther than the pavemcut. reruLAn excitement. North Queen street was crowded at the time, and several persons narrowly es caped being erushed beneath the cngine. When it was slopped, hundreds of pjople nlmest instantly crowded around It, TUile hundreds mero orewded around the wrecked mall wagon aud the prostrated horse that was kleking in the harness. The harness was seen out te pieces aud tbe borse extricjtcd. He was taken te Fred Brimmer's stable, a geed deal battered and bruised aud cut about the legs, A veterinary surgeon was sent for, who niter exatninatieu pronounced the borse net screusly Injured. A TEWUIBI.E ACCIDENT POSSIBLE. Meantime there was great exoitemeut around the engine, Mr. Fate was in an ill humor about his broken window and sewing machines, and made complaint of malicious inisehief befere Alderman Mo Me Mo Cenoiny against Elmer Uerr and Jehn Lindis, who were in obarge el the runa way engine. Officers Speeca and Roadman arrested them and dragged them off te the lock up, leaving the engine without an en glneer and liable at auy moment te blew up. .zra r . i,andts, agent for the man ulaeturcrs of tha Perhss engine, hear ing of the accident, hastened te the spot, and was net a little alarmed en finding that his enginaers bad beeu arrested and no ene left lneharge of the engine. On examining tbe water gauge he found the boiler almost empty, aud in a little while longer there might have been a terrible explosion. After putting the engice in eafe oendition he went te the relief of the men who were in arrest and entered ball at Alderman Ford Ferd Ford ney'a for their appearance befere Alder man McConemy. Returning te the wreck he and his men reptired the breken guide chain with a spliee of heavy wire, aud about 0 o'clock Uarr and Lindis were again put in charge of the englne, whieh was run up North Queen street acd thence te Mr. Lindis' shop ou Cherry alley. The police offiesrs who mada the arrest, and seme ether people also, say that Uerr aud Lindis were intoxicated, and ran their engine two or three timei across the street in a zig-zig course Mr. Ezra Liudls and several ctber people who saw the young ment declare they were sebar, ard te show that they were, Mr. Landis plaeed them In charge of the engine after the accident, and had them run it te bis shop. HEttR AND LANDH EXPLAIN. In an interview with Hcrr and Landis our reporter learned that the engine had been in usa by Samuel Miller, of O.uarry- l-.u-, -! U -..ttlna Umhar In the lower end et the county and has had tha maehlne en the read and iu the weeds in that section. Finding it tee mH for his purpese he had ordered a larger one of fifteen borse power, and Herr and Landis had been sent iy Mr, Ezra Landis te bring it back te Lancaster. They left Qaarryvllle Thursday morning at 0 o'clock, ran leisurely along, via New Providence, te Refton, where they took dinner. Left Refton batween 1 and 2 o'clock, and eame up the pike via Willow Street te Lancaster, arriving at 0:30; stepped at the Fountain Inn, en Seuth Queen street, where they took supper, and alter taking en a supply of water started up te Centre Square, and thence up North Queen strbCt te the placa of accident. As te the charge that they zlg zigged aoress the street rereial times, tbey say that they were obliged te cress from one side of the railroad traek te the ether te avoid teams that were passing or standing en the street. They bad only fifty pounds of steam en and were net going at a speed of mere than three miles an hour. They state that the brakes of the engine were net in geed working order, and the down grade from the middle of the street te the onrbstene is se heavy that the weight of the engine carried it by its own momentum upon the siuewaiK and into ate s window, they empnaticauy deny tuat iney were c run if. and certainly they de net leek like drink ing men. THE LOSJES. The damage done te the front of Mr. Fate s stere room, including the plate- glass and the broken tiagatenes can. ba re paired for about 2100, aud half that sum will pay for the damage te the sewing macuines. The set of harness that was out from Fred. Brimmer's horse se that he oeuld be gotten loose fronrthe broken mall wagon was a valuable ene, having been "voted' te Mr. Brimmer at a ladiei fair at a coat of nearly 820O. It will cost $50 or $70 te re pair it. The damage te the Peerless engine hi very slight ; a new link or two te the gnide chain will make it all right again. Wm. Fisher, who keeps a fruit stand in front of tbe posteffice, ran te tha assist- anaa or lirimmer's team when it was wrecked, and during the few minntes that his back was turned, some bad boys made sad havoe among the apples and oranges ou his Iruit stand, lie thinks that Mr, Landis ought te make geed his losses, but Mr. Liindis thinks that had he watebed his own appie stand, be would have had no lOEses. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Capt. MoMellen states that he was at Willow street when the ecgine passed that piaea ; tbat a horse was irightened by it. ran off and broke the wagon te whieh it was attaobea. lie did net knew whose wagon it was. There was a repert en the street that a woman had baen thrown out of It and badly hurt. The men in eharge of the engine say that several horses "shied'' along the read en approaching the engine, but tbat they always stepped the englne at sueh times, and assisted tbe drivers in leading their skittish horses past it, They knew nethiug of any one being hurt at! Willow Street. Manyexelted people doelaro that the steam read engine is a dangerous nulsanea and ought net te ba allowed en tha reads, and especially en orewdod streets, as it is liable te soare horses and endaugar life. But ethor peeple say that the eugine is net dangerous, never saares at anything and tbat if horses get scared and hurt peeple, they and net tha onglne should be kept off tbe Btreets, And in this view tbe engine people say, they are baekad up by tbe decision et tbe courts.

The official batting and fieldiug averages of the players of the Eastern League were giveu out seme time age by Socretary Diddlobeak, and they contain some very interesting figures. Theso figures will preve very valuable te players as well as te ethers, and they should be preserved. Many of the men, who figured in that league, left it bofero the season was ever en aoeount et breaks in clubs, and the majority of them went Inte ethor assoeia tiens; many weutlnte the Amerle-in Asso ciation, a number into the Union and seme te the National Leaeue. Nearlv all made fine records, which are given In theso associations, and the majority of them have been reserved for tbe coming ssasen. The Ironsides made a flne record in the League, and it Is likely that they will be awarded tbe pennant. The Wilmington was the heavlest batting team with an average of .201. with the Aetlves second. Virginias third and Trenten and Ironsides tie for fourth place with an average of 210. In fielding the Ironsides and Wil mingten were tie for first place with an average of .SS2. Of the individual players.tha Wilmington men show up well at the bat. Kenzle, of Trenten, leads the league, however, with an average of .407. He played but 13 games, making 2a bits ; Coegau, et tha Domestles, seoend, with an overageof .830 and Den Casey, of Wilmington, new of the Baltimore team, is third, with .375. Of the Ironsides, Geedman leads in bat ting, he is a tie with Cain, of Yerk, for seventh place In the league, and has an average et .333, hwlng made 75 hits In 52 games, in which he was at the bat 223 times. He is the heaviest batting first baseman in the league. MeTamany is tie with Johnsten, of tbe Virgin las, and nerfert of the Aetlves, for twenty-first nlaee.with sn nvcrage of .201 Tomney is 21.h with .231, Oldileld 85th with ,253, Uiggins 30th with ,&54, Derby 43th with .233, Iagrabam 50th with .223. Donald 531 with .217, Bradley 00th with .203, Geuhrer 01st with .200, Foreman 70:h with .173, and Hamilton 70:h with .148. Pyle was tbe lightest batter in the Ironsides, an 1 stands 80th in tbe league, with an avorage of .148. In tbe field the Ironsides did well Among the pitchers Pyle ranked fourth ; Burns, who pitched but a few games, being first, Nelan second aud Dugan third. Pyle pitehed mero gatnea than either of these men and but for his wild pitches his soero would have been mueh better : his average is .600. MoCIeskey, Cusiek and Lynoh,ef the Wilmington, lead thoeatohers in the order named with Oldfleld fourth, averaging ,835. Geedman is tie with Sbetzllne and Beylo for fourth plaee among first base men, with an average of ,030, Weigand, of the Domestics, took flrtt place, but only played in the position seven times. Higgles takes fourth place among second basemen with .012, Bastian being first. Donald is fifth among third basamen with .830, and Cusiek is the best short step, Temney ranking fifth with .677. In left Held Nick Bradley is bead and shoulders above all of them. After leaving right field and third base he played 21 games In left field, having but three errors. His average is .023 and Jehn Green, also of the Ironsides early in the season, is soeond In left field with .010. In fit teen games he bad but two errers. MeTamany it sixth among contre fielders, la forty two games be had 11 errors aud his average is 851. Recclus is first and had but ene error In twenty five games. Hamilton Is the only ene of tbe Ironsides who is eredlted with playing right field, although Bradley played there forrema time and would rank high if his soere was given. Hamilton is eighth with an average ei .833. In order that enr readers may under stand these figures it should be stated that the highest batting average a player ean have is. 500 while tbe highest iu fielding is 1,000. b The Pittsburg Base Ball League for next season represents a oest of ever (31,000, whieh Ineludea (0,000 paid for the release of the Columbus players. This is said te be mere money than was ever before paid for a base ball nine in tbe United States, Oar Lecal Jeise James, Frem tbe Pittsburg Teleraph. Sines Jesse James roeeivod his quietus and Frank James reformed and baeame a Missouri politician, the only here of the dlme nevel kind left is Abe Buzzard, the desperado of the Welsh mountain in Lan caster county, Pennsylvania. He is net mueh te beast evor, as his triumphs rarely rise abeve a hen roost or a oeuuty stere, but he cuts a great figure before the imag ination as he stalks through the fastnesses with his repeating rifle, making vows never te ba taken alive. He asserts, as the James boys used te, tbat he wants te lead an honest life, but the community will net allow him. The trouble is tbat he and tbe oemmunityoannot agree as te what Is an honest life, just as the James boys aad the railroad companies could net. Tbe oemmunlty will probably oensent te let Aba return te civilized life if be will agree net te take up politics as his profession and proceed te defeat candidates for Congress as Frank James did. There are Buzzards enough in Laneaster oeunty politics. UemmltUd for Ten Oajr, Jim Llnthurst, the crippled soldier who spends a greater portion of his time in jail, was arrested last night by Officer Messenfcep, en a warrant issued by Alder man Fordney, The complaint against him is for his usual offense lrunkenness and disorderly oenduot.
