Bin's Talk en Patrenising Heme Iodeitrtes. Tbs October meeting of tbe Lancaster Beard of Tnda wu held la their rooms en Tuesday evening, with President Wicker barn In the eblr. Tbe mlnutea of the lait stated meeting were read and approved. Tbe treasurer reported the balat.ee In the treasury as 179 43, Cel. H U. Blaymeker, of the oemmlttee en railroads, elated that Mr. Davis, of Bale Harber,felt sanguine that tbepropeeod read betwp-n Bale Harber and Laueaater would be bum. Tbe trustees reperted that tbe rooms wets In Reed crder anjl kept open every dty,bnt that few tne-raber availed themselves of tbe opportunity et meeting at the rooms. President Wlekersbam stated that the membeisef Ibe railroad oemmlttoohad consultation with teme Pennsylvania rail read officiate in rofeience tqthe proposed railroad te Hi te Darber, that tbe reault of that consultation was favorable, but the oemmlttee deolded that It was net policy te ray anything further about tbe matter at present about vnr.K TenNi'iKns Cel. It Frank Etblemen, who had bsen Invited te talk en tree turnpikes by Presi dent Wlckersbem, began bis address by stating tbat be bad strong convictions en tbe feasibility et condemning turnpike reads. In tbe limits of tbe county thereare twenty-two turnpike reads. If you draw an Imaginary line through tbe county from east te wcbI at the village of Hmithville, all tbe mncadamlz9d reads are north of that line. Nene are south of it. Tbe value of these turnpikes are (500,000, wbleh amount et money would be required te reimburse the stockholders It the turnpikes are con demned. Tbe inode et procedure In condemnation is for twenty-flve ell'sics te petition the court of quarter sessions te appoint rive viewers. These viewers, with a lawyer who presides as a master, but who has no vote, mske report te tbe court their conclusions as te Ibe advisability cf con demnlngtbe tumiltte and tbe assessment of damages caused by tbe taking et tbe pika This report may be excepted toer appealed te tbe court of common pleas se tbat the patty excepting or misting can have a trial by Jury as te tbe quantum of damages. An appeal may be taken from the common pleas te tbe suprome court tbe same as In etbei cases. Tbe taxation tbat It would be necessary te impose te pay for tbe turnpikes in tbe county would be unjust, unequal, unfair and oppressive. The mau who rides en the turnpike pays for the privilege, because it Is te bis advantage. Under tbe law if a turnpike is condemned tbe man who dees net ride en it would pay for these wbeuselb Seuth of thla Imaginary line one-sixth tf the people of Lancaster county live and they would be obliged te pay tribute te tbe maintaining of turnpike reads used by tbe remaining flveslxtb. In Fulton, East and West Drumere, Little Britain, Bart, Brecknock nnd Clay town ships tbtre is net a mile of turnplke and tbe residents et tbeee townships would te obliged te pay a tax te beep In repair tie turnplke reads of ether townships. If turnpikes are abandoned under tbe law each township has te keep in repair their own turnpike, and it Is n fact beyond contradiction tbat turnpikes that have been abandoned are net kept In as geed order by townships an they were by tbe companies, BENEFIT TO r.ANCAHTKR. It the twenty-two turnplke reads of tbe county would net be se Inviting for publle use, travel would net be se great te this city, the centre of commerce. The pro ducer would take bis wares nud manufac tures te smaller (owls nearer te blm, and thore buy his needs and wants. Columbia, Marietta, LHII7, Kphrata, Strasburp, New Helland and a dczsn ether towns in tbe county would be bent fltud at tbe expense Of Lancaster. Land, statistics show, soils et from (7 (e (10 per sere higher along turnpikes, and why? Because turnpikes furnish free ac cess te and Ira Let your turnpikes deteriorate, which tbey would de, If town ships have te keep them up, that enhanced value te property bordering en them would be removed. Tbe amount required te be paid by tbe oemmue',ncrs of Lancaster county te tbe stoskhelfairs of Its turnpikes, would be net leis tban?ualf a million dollars. It would be infinitely better te epend a portion of that sum In buUdmg a suitable prison. There are places where it might be well te have free turnpikes, but be did net tbink It was wise or practicable for Lancaster county, where tbe city depende se much en country traffic. These view?, tbe speaker said, occurred te him from the dollar and cents aspect of tbe argument A great portion et tbe stock of turnpikes are held by women and guardians of mlnere, and it would greatly distress tboee people If tbelr Investments sre taken from them. Whlle It la true tbat seme turnpikes pay 20 or 25 percent, dividend, who pays It? Frem where dots the revonue come? Net from tbe msn who has no occasion te ute the turnpike, but from tbe man who dees use It and Is able te pay ter the privilege. It Is no rreie right tbat you, Mr. President, should pay for my privilege, comfort and happiness In drlvingen turnpikes tbanyeu should buy me a railroad tlcket te travel en my own private buslnes. In tbe days of te war there was an Income tax, but It was no hardship. Tbe msn who bad an Income et (10,000 per year could afford te pay a tax and be who did net enjoy an income was net called upon te pay tribute te the government. It costs tbe man nothing who does net ute the turnpike and he who does use it gets blB quid pre quo. Te nik tbe county et Lancaster te expend (503,000 or (COO, 000 te pay for turnpikes which bone At euly three- tilths of the people is a manifest unrairness and utterly uusdvlsablp. If this question was submitted te tbe sutirage of the 35,000 voters of this county tbe majority against irea turnpikes would be overwhelming. Veu will net And one msn In five In tbli county In favor of frte turnpikes. MR. OASSATT MASS GOOD 110AD3. In Lewer Merlen township, Montgomery county, Mr. Caesatt was eloeted supervisor, and he was determined te have geed reads. lie bad tbem made, but be ruu tbe dlatrlet se enormously in debt that he was requested te resign before bis term or clllee bad half expire!, and te-day tbe read tax in tbat district Is a burden en the poeplo, Under the law et 18S7 It Is nel le;al te abandon any portion of a turnpike, except one terminal la made a part or tbat te be vacated. Take tbe LUttz turnpike at an Illustration. Tun portion of tbe pike between Neffsville and New Haven could net be abandoned because neither et these points Is a terminal of tbat turnpike. In all hard stone counties It Ii extremely difficult te keep a turnpike in thorough repair and at the same time te have tbe surface smooth. In conclusion he said (bat la no county et tbe oemmoawealih were) turnpikes better than in Lancaster county. President Wlokershate said the question was an Important one and he would like te have the question dlscBsaed, from the Mm or opposite standpoint Mr. Fester stated that few years tge hehad travelled through Canada. In bis Judgment their tnrnplkea wars better than these In Lsnetster oennty, and there ware no telli collected, the reads Ming free. Mr. Sener raid a few statements made by Mr. Esbleman were Incorrect. There was a turnpike in Clay township, tbe pike be tween Olay and Blue Ball, wbleh had been abandoned by the company, was kept in better condition by the township than by the company, and part et a turnpike net a terminal had been abandoned. Mr. Esbleman laid part of tbe turnpike referred te as being abandoned was prier te tbe aet of 1837. L. B. Herr asked whether or net free turnplkee would net be an advanttgote the county aa a whole. Mr. Eshleman replied that it would be a decided advantage te keep the present ays tern If thla city la te be considered the eentre of the county's commerce. Mr. Helnitsh thought that the expense te farmers In the wear of their vehicles was less under the present system than befere turnpikes were generally used. HOMA INDUSTRIES. L B. Herr read a piper en " Why Heme Industries Should Be Patronized." In dustries, he said, are of two klnda ; these arising aa a result et natural resources and these resulting from tbe develop ment et tbe first Eaeh neighbor hood has Its natural retail, and be instanced Pittsburg with Its Iren ; Hcranten, coal ; Chicago, grain : Minneapolis, water power; Cincinnati, perk, and New Yerk, with Ita commercial Interchange. Lan caster elty te develop must depend upon its agricultural resources. Tbe Beard of Trade haa made great efforts te get large menu menu menu taoterles here, but It would be better if ita efforts were made te develep Its agricul tural reteurces. Development depends upon two things, home consumption and foreign demat.d. If we did nothing mere than consume we would net develop. We must have a foreign demand for cur pre. ducts. Through some tat Iff reform, this oennty must be benefitted. We don't on en on eoursge our farmers. They must Tay a high tell te get rathe ally, and we charge tbem tee high a price for tbelr market stallv. The biggest end of tbe profit should go te tbe producer, but It does net rxTneNir: home storks, All should patrenlzs home industries and home stores, but all de net de it Our people will go te Philadelphia tebuy goods, although the same goods csu be bought here Just as cheap. Ue did net believe In patronizing home merchants if tbey did net anlt as cheap as these In tbe cities. Some four years age a Philadelphia man, about the holidays, opened a store and sold goods very cheap. Tbe merchants tried te get an ordinance passed taxing these strangers heavily, but were unsuccessful, and it was finally found tbat tbe only way te drive them out et tbe city was by selling as cheap as tbey. Lancaster Is better by reason etlts comretttlon with Philadelphia. It would bave gene en in ita old rut and with its old-fashioned show windows and store rooms. Tbat competition baa made Lancaster merchants better business men tban tbey would ether wtte have been. Mr. Gelsenberger raid tbat In no place In tbe Union were dry goods and hardware soldenasmallor percantagoef profit than In Lancaster. In no Inland town lntheceuntry were there as lrgn establishments as Stein msn fc Ci, or FUnn & Breneman. Ne place were dry goods slaughtered as they are here. And yet with low prices for goods, thousands et dollars wero annually sent te Pnlladelpbla ter goods which oeuld be purchased here just as cheap and net a dollar et that money comes back. Until our people patronize tbelr stores and industries In preference te tbose of Phila delphia we will net advance. Toe ether side of tbe free turnplke ques tion will be presented at the next meeting of tbe beard, when it is cxrected two papers favoring free turnpikes will be read. Linrenci J, I bach Dead, Lawrence J. Ibseb, widely known as tbe blacksmith istronemer, died at neon Tues day at bla home In Nowmsnstewn, Lebanon county. He was seventy years of tge, and bad been 111 for tbe past two years. Fer many years he made the astronomical calculations for all almanacs published In this and many ether counties, including Bier's almacae of this city. He was born in Allentown, Pa., and in all respects was a aelf made man. Ue spoke Eagllsb, Ger man, Spanish, French, and some Italian. He furnished thirteen large establishments with astronomical calculations, including several newspapers In New Yerk, for their almanacs, lti tbe morning tbe astronomer worked with his telescope, charts and Instruments. In tbe afternoon he shed horses, made nails, hammered Iren Inte ladles and spoons, and found time te In struct bis neighbors and customers. In the evening he entertained hie wife and tittles ones, and never railed te pass two hours with bis books. Mr. leach married a daughter or tbe late Frederlek Egelman, a learned German astronemor, from whom be received much instruction In bis astro nomical studies. At the death of his father in law he fell heir te hit instruments and boekr, which greatly Increased his op portunities ler developing bis peculiar talent Afraid te Ulieast the Jaetleu. Arrangements bad been made for a joint tariff dobate between Dr. J. L. Forwood, ex-mayor el Chester, en tbe Republican side and James a. McSparran, et Drumere township, this county, en tbe Democratic side. Thursday, October 1Kb, had been de cided en as the time for haying the dis cussion and Atglen tbe place. A committee had been appointed by tbe Democrats te confer with the Kepubllcans as te arrange ments for the meeting, but tbe latter de clined te take any part, and at tbe dlotatlen et the llepubllcin leaders et Atgleu, Dr, For wood was called ell and declined almost at tbe last moment te take part in the debate. The leaders are afraid or tariff dlioutslen and de net want tariff delates. However the Democrats propose te bave their aide discussed and en October llth, In tbe publle ball la Atglen, Mr. McSparran an ethers will addrets tbe audience. 1KMJEUKU A HKOKfTIOM.

We have averted the calamity this year by postponing tbe official count en tbe vote until November.

Jehn BlBnchsrd, of Bollelonte, Pa., boa declared bis intention of supporting the policy of President Cleveland. He bas uever befere taken au active part in poli tics, but en October 4 he delivered at Piitlllpsburg a strong arraignment et the Republican policy of high taxation, at tbe close of which he gave the following reasons for taking his present oeurso : "Parly lines are being bteken through, the tariff la being dismissed as It bas never been discussed Blnee befere the wnr. Men are thlcktng mere clearly and aetlng raore definitely upon this great and vital subject. 1 deem it te be one et the first duties of citizenship for the voters of this country te deelsre themselves at this time rearletBly and with out reward te party lines. And for this pur pose, Mr. Chairman and fellew-clttzsnr, I am here te night, at a young man of strong Republican antecedent, te declare myself In favor et the election et Cleveland and Thurman ; and 1 de be doclare mysell because I brnrtlly and sincerely be lieve In tariff rnvlslen and reduction.

The commltteo snggests that tbls sub. scrlptien was In violation et law.
