Campaign In tjoel Shapsi The btlzitrd et last week bid one geed cfleet It kept ihe numerous candidate ler ofileo et the Republican primary from nneylug their country constituent Bat with pleasant weather from new en until the H'.h of April the county will be thoroughly traveled ever by at least the candidates for the principal cfflcer. Each of the candidates for Congress la eeefcingtbatctUaeen an Issue. Dr. Roebuek, en bis red, white and blue card, says that the country dlstrlets have 10,521 Blaine vetera and give a Republican majority of 10,000) that the city has bad that office for thlrly years and It Is new the turn et the country te have It and as be Is the only candidate from the country he sheuld"bs the man. Marriett Breslus aaka for the office as the only soldier candidate and announces him self ss the man who bald : "I love my party better than any wing or faction of It and only leas than I love my csuntry." Mr. Bresiua' loveet party Is very strong beyond a questler. He was approached en the afternoon of the day et the organization e( the Behoel beard and asked te pair with a Democrat, who did net de sire te participate In the organization by reason of the death et hts wife, but is he would be present If necessary.- Mr. Breslua arese and ma)eatlcally replied : I will net pair with him. Same people's miarertuncs are ether people-' opportuni ties." His loveerpariy might bave required such an answer. Cel. B. Frank Eihleman wants te be elected because be was raised en a farm, Is a suceesful lawyer and forelble speaker, and Is familiar with the wants of the people of Lancaster county. Congressman Hleatand does net pub licly announce his platform, but these who knew him beat say be wants a renomtna renemtna renomtna tlen because It Is a pleasant office te bold, and above all has a handaome compensa tion attached te it. That mueh for their platforms. New for their chances. It was the belief of politi cians that each of the faoliens would take one et the candidates and that would leave the fight between whoever was agreed upon by the bosses et each of the rings. Wuen the big bosses and Uttle bosses get together the ether day te fix things there was a row. A majority of the Bull Ringers wanted HlesUnd, but Eshleman had suffi cient friends te kick vigorously against the Commedore's being! slated, and the result is that some of the best workers are ter Hlea tand and Bome ter Eshleman. The result will be that Hlestand will be run in some districts and Eahleuiau In ethers by that combination. The Bame treuble oceurrod when the Heg Ring manipulators assembled in sol emn conclave. Mentzar wanted Roebuck, while a majority of his lieutenants Bwere they would net touch him. Mentxar is under political obligations te Roebuck and be must consistently be for hlm.and wlllbe for him. He will probably be able te get some of the kickers et his faction into line, but some of bis geed men he caanet. They will be for Brrslus. The pasasge of the bill giving Lancaster a public building will make some votes ler Hleatand. He is at a disadvantage this year In net being able te be at home te leek alter his Interests, but he is working the garden aeed racket from Washington for all It la worth and that will go a great way with some farmert1. Many et the young men of the country are for Cel. Eshelman, and a gentleman well posted in local politics, remarked a few days age, that in his district, and It a big one, if the Eihlemun forces had a leader his vote would surprlse some poli ticians who Imagine they run that district. The colonel baa made a thorough canvass et the county aud feels greatly encouraged. He expects a geed vete in the city, a heavy vet9 in bo-ue of the southern townships, and that he will held his own in the north. Breslus will get his principal strength In the south and he will be ruu with Lan dls In that senatorial dUtrlel. He will have the support or the Inquirer and II the New Era takes a band, wbleh is harJIy proba ble, be will also have that. His friends " are confident that be will pull thteugb. A Bpertlag man In this city ellared te bet flOO last woek that Roebuek would be fourth in the fight, and altheueb there were some et Roebuck's friends within bearing, the bet was net taken. A number of parties who are supposed te be posted were atked their views as te the congressional fight Their answers showed that the contest is a puzzle te them. Seme thought the fight was between Bro Bre slns and Hleatand, ethers between Eshle man and Hlestand, atill ethers between Eshleman and BresluB. There Is net a man In the city of Lancaster who believes that Roebuck has any chance of winning. Frem a carelul review of the field It leeks te the Intelmeenceii te-day as if Hles tand bad the best et the figh', with Eshle man a geed second. The situation may chauge in the next two weeks. Matters in cident te this etnvasB will be noted from time te time. t'OU STATH SENATOU. The Ball Ring politicians are greatly exerclsed lest Senater Mylln should be beaten, and they are paying mere attention te this contest man meyaru ie iuu uungreo uungree uungreo slenal fight. Lindls' candidacy wai amua. leg te the bess3s for a time, but within the past few weeks his strength has alarmed them. Candidate Laudla get a geed bit el etieap advertising as the prosecutor of the lndlantewn and Sixth ward election beards and the discussion et these caiee lias caused him te be known in every household of thecennty as the champion et a fair election and honest return. His campaign card bears en it a white plume and this extract from one et Blaine's speeches, " A fraud In the count Is the destruction of Republican govern ment." Rather suggestlve that, in view of bis prominence In bringing te Justice these who violated his election law. Mylln's great strength heretofore was In this city. His friends concede that Lnd Is will get a geed vote here, but tbey de net believe that he ean carry the city. Lindla' friends say that be can and will. If L.andls gets the vete In this city his friends leek for, he will puu tnroegn. RECORDER OT DEEDS. There are three candidates In the field for recorder, Ed. Rsinheld, H. O. Lehman and Justice Jehn Moere, of Drumore. The last named is well known In the southern sec tion of the county and would make a geed officer, but unfortunately for lilm he is net in the fight. The ether candidates will be supported by the respective factlenr. It Is going te be a clcse oentest uuleusemetblng unforeseen is developed In the next lew weeks. THE LEGISLATIVE FIGHT. Sufficient has been developed as te the contest for legislature for the city district te say that Brinten Is net in it. The Bull Ring faction will support Franklin and the ether faction Jehn B. Leng. The latter elalma that be will get the soldier vote and tit support of .the Mealier faction. Frank. 1G9. 11b was the Drat 1b the field and has made I the most active canvas. la tba Southern district People and Baldwin will be run by ea aosablaatlea and Heidelbaugh and Chandler by the ether. Dr. (Satchel), who sew lives In West Iismpatsr township, aad who re ceived great notoriety while la the legisla ture as a champion whltewasber, is making a great effort te get ea one of the cembina tiens, but be wilt net aueaeed. Nsltber faotlea ean afford te go Inte the fight handi capped "with Qatchell. His vote will be a scattering one and se small that the election offieera will net have mueh trouble In counting It. In the Northern district C. O. Kauffman hat, It la said, gene ever te the Mentser faction and will be ran by that combination with Boyd and Ranck. The ether fellows will run Kemper and Smith and have net decided aa yet as te the third man. It loeka as If Smith, Boyd and Kauffman would be the winning candidates In this district. The remaining county officers have net been talked of te any great extent. In a week or two the slate aa te them will be published In the Intklliekmcer. BED HOSE CORMANDEltT.

A Companion DUeertr the UnfettaBatl, Bit Ufa Was Bstlael TTkss Iho Uedjr Was Out Dona-Bew It Was Den. The mania for suicide continue, and within tbe past month no lees than seven people have taken their live la this city and county. The last event elthls klad hsppened this forenoon, and the suicide waa but 10 years of age It Is rather un usual for a boy te take his own life, and thla aflair created a great deal of excite ment. Tbe vletlm waa William Zsllers, aea of Jehn Zallsrs, the well known huckster, wbe restdea en tbe oerner of Mary and Grant streets. He took his life in the basement of the Western market en West Orange street. Mr. Zsllera had rented thla basement, where be baa been carrying en tbe oyster and fruit business all winter. When In town he gave his at tention te tbe restaurant, but be spenda a great deal or his time In the oeuntry selling goods with his team. When he waa away he left tbe restaurant In eharge of bis son William. This morning at an early hour Mr- Zsllera lelt for the country with a lead of goods, going In the dlrcotien of Mil lersvllle. William waa about the cellar all morning and waa aeen by several of his young companions. Fer a time before his suicide was discovered he had been alone In the restaurant. Shortly alter nine o'clock Walter Ferrest, a boy residing In the rear of the market beuse, who was a playmate and close oempanlon of young Zsllera went ever te tbe restaurant te see his friend. When be entered he was shocked te find Zsllera banging by a rope te the Iren railing, en the stairway, leading from the basement up stairs. The boy's body and legs were en the atalrway and he aeemed te be lying en his back, but bis head was elevated. Tbe rope arennd his neck was a pleee of wash- Hue. Although terribly frightened tbe little fellow picked up a knife, which was near by and quickly cut the rope. He waa terribly frightened and ran at once te Mr. Zsllera house, where he Informed tbe boy's mother of bis discovery. She ran te the market house where several men seen gathered. They found that tbe body et tbe boy was yet warm, but life had tied. Cor Cor oner Henaman waa at once notified. He empanneled a Jury cenalatlng of Geerge Bressler, D. W. Mlesse, Jehn Spangler, H. B. Greenwalt, Frederick Banker and J. B. Flea. Dr. Belenlns examined the body and found that the boy bad died of strangulation. Tbe verdict was suicide. Only one cause for the boy's commission of this dreadful deed can be assigned. It seems that be did net like te attend the restaurant, but preferred te sell goods In tbe country. This morning he desired te go te the oeuntry, but his father thought It best that be should remain at home and at tend the restaurant. Yeung Ferrest and ether boy, who have been Intimate with the deceased, ray that be never spoke te them of taking his I Iff. He had one of tbe best homes in the city, and everything that he deslret.

J ust at tbat moment a sheet of Urn burst through the window at whleh the firemen waa alandlng aud te save himself he leaped Inte the net. His arm was broken and he was rendered insen sible. Anether ladder was raised for the reioueofa woman who was at a window en the fifth fleer, but befere It could reaeh her she olther fell or Jumped te the side walk. She died lnatautly. A number el the occupants were carried down the stairs or ladders by tbe firemen. It was reported that several children wero unaoeounted ler and It la feared tbey were sulTecated. It was 40 mluutes from tbe dlacevery et the fire te tbe time tbat the first atream et water waa thrown upon the lUmer. Many people dropped from tbe lower windows aud re re eelved but slight injuries. At 8:50 the fire was under control. Tbe killed and wounded ae far as learned are : Killed Frances Woatlake, widow, aged is years, Weuuded Addle Woatlake, datighter el Frances Westlake, sged 21 years, contusions and internal Injuries ; Froderlok West lake, a son, 23 years, contusions and Inter nal Injuries; Mrs. M.

Scalleg ladders were Immediately get out and llle-savlng nets spread under the windows. Just befere tbe nela were spread Mrs. Tynburg Jumped aud was canted away lnsenslble. A ladder waa being put up te the Westlakes, when Mlaa Wisilske, wbe waa In ber nightdress, let go of the window sill and slipped down, striking the sidewalk violently. Her brothers jumped Inte the net, but their weight caused It te glve and they struck the sidewalk with conslderabio force. Their mother overcemo by the smoke foil back from the window with her lega out and dled. When the firemen reaobed her It was a question of leaving tte body te be burned or throwing It out. Tue latter alternative was decided upon and the body was thrown Inte the net. The net was net sufficiently taut and her corpse struck the pavement with such vlolenco as te badly mutllate ber bead and body. Thla Is tbe woman mentioned as the ene seen by the spectators believed te have Jumped from the window. Aa elstant foreman Quirk had a narrow oseape; when he reacuid the third fleer he hooked a scaling ladder te tbe wall above. He had hardly done thla when the flimea poured out lu great volume from tbe window, en the sill or which he was standing. The net was brought under the window and be jumped Inte It, but when he was picked up It was found his arm was broken aud be bad received internal Ir J urlea.

Berlin, Mareh 10 There la new no doubt tbat the rumor of tbe relapse of Em Em Em porer Frederick waa absolutely true. Ex traordinary cirerla te prevent tbe real stale of things from being known are new taken, but tbe secret Is out. The correspondents of the Londen d silica vrhe came here with six or Beveu secretaries apiece, princes of high and low degree and many ethers te whom the health of the emperor Is of great Importance, have suddenly decided net te lesve te day, according te previous arrangements, and are waiting anxiously and uneasy ler fur ther newr. Tbe utmost pressure wss brought te bear upon Prince KIsmsrck yes terday, but he would net pronounce tbe emperei'a condition better. He said for publication : "His msjealy's condition was about what might have been expected 11 the physicians expected a relapse of a ae rleua nature alter the funeral" This Is net encouraging. It la known that the em peror only slept one hour Friday night, and tbat bla rest was broken and un satisfactory last night. Dr. MaoKeezle re pot ts tbat he la under imperial erdera te refuse all Information. He wishes it known, however, that he has never preJlnted the recovery of the emperor. The desperate I tuatlonef affairs may be gathered from tbe fact that the government, which means the Iren chancellor, baa ordered that Dr. MacKeuzIe aheuld have a speulal guard el soldiers te protect hlra from the alleged furlcus onslaughts of the friends et the German doelora wbe are jealous et him. The meaning et thla Is ssld by men who are well Informed te be tbat Dr. Mao Mae Kenzle la te be guarded se that he cannot Hive any Information te the public Ne known Journalist Is permitted even te sand a card toblmalnce the guard was estab llabed.

The Philadelphia Jleeerd publishes a long letter from the " Lancaster Knights of Laber" which is Introductory te a serlca In whleh an attempt will be made te prove tbat the Inequality of conditions complained of by Henry Geerge exlsta net only In the great cities but all ever the country. The Knights' letter gives a great deal ofspace and eloquence te a historical review or the great crisis in tbe blatery of civilization with the purpose of showing that Ihey have all been brought en by movements of the working masses of the people. It finds In the profound interest et the, people In abstruse and complicated economic prob preb lems no less tbsn In tbe general dlsoentont and omen of suau a crisis. The Knights then turn their attention te tbe tsrlU system and swiftly resch tbe een. elusion that protection ter protection's aake Is at laat tottering te Its grave." Tbe letter quotes DaTeequevlllti's fameua saying, "among the novo! objeeta tbat attracted my attention during my atay in the Unlted States, nothing atruck me mere forcibly than the goneral equality of condi tions," and asks what foreigner traveling in Ibis oeuntry te-day would " find nothing te atrlke blin mere forcibly tban the general equality of conditions." It may be said tbat this Is only true of the great oltlea where extremes meet and the millionaire jostles tbe trsmp en tbe crowded stroets," and tbat there are tbeussnds of towns and amaller cities throughout the republic wuore you will find tbe great massea of the peeple In comfortable circumstances, neither very ileb nor very pcer, where you en find much wealth but no enervating luxury ; where you may, Indeed, discever some poverty but no abject waut, no de graded wretchedneis. " If this is true, tbe letter gees en te state, then tbe almost universal discontent la wholly without any real, much ten just, foundstlen. ; But Is this true? It is our purpose te endeavor In these pspera te answer this question. It behooves us sbove all things te answer It honestly, and if we can te as certain the truth.
