We bad no rain for ever tbree weeks and
yet the growing crops de net sutler as we
often see. Theoern often shrivels and the

As stated In Monday's Jntklmoknekii,
Sam Crulkshank, the man who shot and
attempted te kill Jehn Montgomery, in
Little Britain, was brought te Lancaster in
the afternoon. lie was In eharge of Vln Vln
eent K.AIexanderand Constable MoMlss,ef
Celersln, and was taken at onee te prison
and locked up. Mr. Alexander was depu
tized te go ti Elk ten for the prisoner. He
experienced a great deal of dllUeulty In
getting the pipers reuty In this state, and
did net leave Harrlsburg until Friday a' a' a'
ternoen. He reached Annapolis In the
evening and seen bad bis requisition hon
ored by the Maryland oflfeera. He was
com pilled te drive from Anne pills te Bay
Ridge, where be took a train ter Baltimore.
The next morning he started for Elkton,
and upon arriving there found that be
oeuld net reaeb Lancaster that night
with bis prisoner. He came back alone te
blahouieln Ceierain. On Mendsy morn.
Ing, with Constable MeNIss, he dreve te
Oxford and went thence by rail te Elkton.
They secured the prisoner, and, returning
arrived nt White Reck at 11 o'clock. There
was a great crowd at the train te meet
the prisoner, but no feeling was mani
fested. A hearing was at once held before
'Squire Mgoe, and the wltnesses examined
were Jehn Montgomery, the man who was
shot ; Maitln Bard, William Wright and
T. Glenn Wright, After hearing the evi
dence the maglatratecemmlttedCrnlkshank
for trlsl at court Mr. Montgomery's wound
is net yet healed, and the squire did net fix
any amount et ball. Mr. Alexander and
tbe oenatable again started at neon with
their prisoner and drove te Quarryvllle,
wbere they took the train which arrived here
at 3:10 By 4 o'clock tbe prisoner was en
joying the hospitalities et Keeper Smith
and Mr. Alexander's work had been com
pleted. Crulkshank la perhspi 2; yeirs of age,
and Is short In stature. He hes an ugly,
sullen leek and la net given te talking a
great deal. He admitted having shot
Montgomery, but refused toglve his reason
for se doing. During the bearlng he said the
witnesses were telling the truth. He says
that en the night of the day he did the
sheeting he did net leave the neighbor
heed but kept in hiding. At ene tline seme
of the men in pursuit were within
ten toot of hlin and he oeuld have al
most ploeed bis hand upon them, but he
kept very quiet Early In tbe morning
be started te get out of the state, and en
Friday night slept In an old saw mill
about aoven miles from Baltimore. While
in the mill he began thinking ever the affair
and concluded that It would be beat te glve
himself up. At that time he did net knew
whether he had killed Montgomery or net,
but rather thought he bad. That afternoon
he was captured by Dr. Hall, Jehn White
and Henry reiplei, between Rowlandsvllle
and Reek Springs. He mads no resistance
but preferred te go along. When arreBted
the weapon with which Crulkshank shot
Montgomery was gene and he said that be

In speaking of exaggerated reports cir
culated In regard te this sheeting our
White Reck correspondent eays : Allew
me te correct an Impression that has been
given strength by reperts In various
papers of the posse under Squire Magee,
who had erganbsd aud se elldctlvely pros
ecuted the seareh whleh has new landed
the prlsoner In jail, viz. : ' that It was by
Montgomery's irlenda ;' and seme papers
even say that tbey would have lynched
b.lm ;' this Is by no means true. This
posse was composed of the best cltltens et
the lower end whesa only thought or pur pur pur
pose was te bring te trial a criminal who
had outraged the majesty of the law, and
te aveuge only the peace and security of
this section whleh bad been be defiantly
broken by this dastardly attern pt at mur

given a llke pursuit If Crulkahank's and
Montgomery's positions bad been trans

POLITICAL NOTES.
A correspondent of tbe lNTnr,t,ici knekii
from Petersburg, Somerset county, writes
that J. M. Uanlen, el Marietta, worsted all
oemerr. In a tariff discussion a few days age.
Our enthusiastic correspondent saya :
11 Mr. Hanlen explalned and delleed the
tariff Issue se plainly en Iesthe-, wool and
Iren that some of our would-be leading Re
publicans were amazed aud deelared that
his argument was Bound. Mr. Uanlen Is
certainly posted and able te argue the tariff
question with any man he meets. And I
would say right here if Mr. Hanlen Is a
sample of Lancaster county DBinecrats,
send a few dozen out'aed Pennsylvania
will wheel Inte the Damocratle oelumn
with a bandsame mijerlty."
Geerge W. Clarksen, an nducated colere 1
Republican et Cleveland, O , supports Pres
ident Cleveland. He writes te the Cleve
land (O.) Vain Dealer : "The free whisky
platform makes me question, as I never
be'ere questioned, tbe sincerity etthe Re
publican party's profession of love for tbe
colored men of the Seuth. They oeuld net
de tbe race a greater Injury. My people In
New Orleans and In tne Seuth generally
have no onemy exeept whisky."
A Demecratla rally was held at GMoenda,
Ills., the ether day, at whleh tbe principal
Hpeaker was Majer A. D. Pleree, a melons
Republican. Hit staled that while Harri
son might be a geed man, he steed upon a
rotten p alferm. He beltoved In tbe Mills
bill, and even a greater reduetlnn In tbe
tariff than is proposed by tbst measure.
He opposed free whisky, but wanted a re
duction en tbe necessaries of life. The
Bpeech of Msjer Pierce was delivered te tbe
largest Democratic meeting ever held In
Pope ceuuty, and will aid in cutting down
materially the 600 or 700 Republican ma

btH a capital et ever 1000,000, and its em em
peoyes bave never struek. Free wool and

ment for operatives, and a foreign as well
as a home mnrket for manufacture. Ilia

ment, which the latter did net need. Be Be Be
eoeo the war tbey made a profit of f 1 a dozen

A TKAMP CAMP.
A Place Where the Hmabta et the Itead
Mop te lis St.
At a point en a branch of the Beaver
creek, near Hess' statlon.en tbe Quarry vllle
railroad, there Is and has been for years,
ene of the meat popular camping places for
tramps In the cennty. It Is situated en the
western bank of the stream against a bill.
In the camp there Isalsrgeprrjectlngreck,
which allordaaeertalnatnount of protection
from the storm, and makes a geed place for
the building of aflre. This camp Is known
te every tramp that travels evor the lower
end of the county. Here they gather In
large number, net only In stimtuer but In
wluter, as inoeld weather It Is a very warm,
comfortable plaoe, belng protrcted by the
large hills from the northern and -sestet n
winds. At present the place Is a popular
resort, and some days, principally en Sun
days, there are from twenty-flve te fifty
tramps In camp. They step hern
te rest or wash their clothe, and
frequently many of them sre seen reading
the papers. Many are Intelligent men, who
admit that they llke tramping, and they are
well posted in tbe news nt the country.
Although the neighborhood Is overrun
with tramp who beg at time, the nomads
are net guilty of any serious effenRO. Tbe
enmp has never been raided jty offie-rn
slnce Its existence. The lewer end of the
county sees many mere tramps than
the upper, for tbe reason that they
seeut te be almost constantly en
tbe meve botween Lancaster eeun'y
and Maryland. A few months sgit alt said
they were en their wsy te the llsherlea.
New they are bound ter the peach orchards
aud canning factories. There Is no doubt
that many et theso men are given oinplcy einplcy oinplcy
ment In theso Maryland Industries, but
many merely glve thnt as an exense.
Some of them de well and make suffi
cient te keep thorn In geed spirits for
months, Ou Saturday n tramp of Intolll Intelll Intolll
geneo lelt the camp nt Hess' station and
called at the plaoe et business of n gentle
man in Quarryvllle. In a very polite way
he asked whetber he could net obtain a
enpy of seme high tat HI paper and the
Philadelphia Iieeenl, as he dcslied te read
both sides of the question. After rocelvlng
thepapers he hsnded the gentleman 13
whleh he told him te koep for him until he
returns from the peach orchards, as he
might fall Inte bad company and cither
have It stolen or spend It foolishly. Some
etltisae tramps have been traveling en
tblssatnoreulofor a doren years and, as,
they knew hew te behavt, they are seldom
melested.
