There have been mere picnics at Lititz this season than for beveral seasons before, and many peeple wonder what the reason for it is. The truth is that the Read ing iV Columbia railroad company have bewi doing all thst they can te hae parties go te Lititz. By this arrangement they travel much farther ever their read thau they de by going te Peiiryii,imd, of rour-e, the benelit te their company is greater.

Israel Smith Clair Cited te Pay Over Part of the Profits of a JJoek. A bill In equity was tiled in the court of common pleas en Tuesday by Jehn II. Fry, atterney for J. L. Brandt, against Israel Smith Clair. The bill sets forth that A. H. Sheck and the defendant entered Inte a partnership In this county te write a history of the world, te be published by II. B. Stebblns, of Chicago. The terms of the agreement were that A. U. Sheck was te furnish the sum of 23 te Clair, that Clair was te de all the writing, composing, com piling, proof reading and make the neces sary contracts in order te bring the publi cation efthe said history of the world te a success ; and the said A. H. Sheck was te have a one-fourth Interest and I. S. Clair a tin eo-feurths Interest In the enterprise and te have profits in the same proportion. In accordance with that agreement Sheck did furnish ?25 and Clair did compose, write and make atcentract for the publica tion of tbe history, which contract resulted lit large profits te the partnersh!p,the exact amount of which Is unknown, but petitioner believes they exceed 91,500. A. H. Sheck transferred his interest te Samuel Kauffman, and the latter trans ferred the sanie te J. L. Brandt ; and Mr. Brandt complains that Mr. Clair has neglected and has refused te pay te him tils rcasouable and proper share of the prellts of the partnership, and that no set tlement has been made of the partnership accounts. The petitioner prays that the defendant may set forth an account before a master of all sums of money received by him, and that he may be directed te pay all the moneys found te be due by him. Under the rules of court the defendant has fourteen days in which te file an answer. Uumbettn On "The Angelas. " A correspondent writing from Paris sayi "Millet's ' Angelus' continues te be tlie great tople of conversation. It is net yet certain whether the Chamber will vote the purrhase-money, especially as the St. Etionue catastrophe will net make it very ready te de se. The picture has been ex hibited le-dav at M. Geerges Pctit's place for the benefit of the St. Etienne sufferer, and soma thousands of francs were realized. "A real curiosity is communicated te me, In the shape of an unpublished letter by Gambetta, written In 1873, vnlle en n visit te Brussels, where the ' Angelus ' was then te be seen in the Wilsen gallery. The revelation of Gambetta as an art critic Is something new and interesting, I subjoin the principal tiassages, which are really admirable, and threw (pilte a fresh light en the mind of a man prematurely cut oil'. " ' Plate was qulle right In making the Beautiful the splendor of the True, and this would be new the best definition of Flem ish and Dutch paintings. " The Wilsen gallery is especially ro re ro markable as a collection of landscapes. Among the Flemings who held an un obtrusive, place In it we remark with pralse the three great representatives of the contemporary French, school, Dupre, Housseaand F. Millet. The first, with his romantic fervor, triumphs in thrce landscapes, full of vigor and beldness. Rousseau llgures in It with his Immortal ' Ferest of Fontaluebleau, ' which he him self revealed te the French world, and which makes him a kind of pictorial Virgil, giving te the forest of our kings the bright ness, coloring and pectnr of the Tempe of the Swan of Mantua. Millet appears with his marked character of a painter of the seasons, the fields and the peasants. "The 'Augclus,' the masterpiece In which two peasants, bathed iti the pale raysef the betting sun, bow, full of mvs tical thrills at the penetrating sound of u bell ringing for evening prayer at the monastery vislble en the horizon, compels meditation en the still powerful Inttuence of roligleus tradition among the rural pop ulation. With what minuteness, and yet breadth, these two grand outlines of the peasant and his servant stand out en the btill.wann field I The task is ovcr.the wheel barrow is there, full of the day's harvest, and they are about te return te the cottaeio for the night's rest.j The bell lias rung the curfew oflaber. and at once these two dark animals, as La Druyore would say, stand up, erect and motionless. They are wait ing for and counting the strokesef the bell, as they did yesteiday, and as they will de te-morrow, In an attitude tee natural net te be habitual, before taking the read which leads te the village. Iho lieecyand melancholy sky which hangs ever the land land scape shares itselfiu the general pcnslvo pcnslve ues which dominates the picture. "The seene Is admirable, and has a wider bearing than the subject. Yeu feel that the artist Is net merclv a painter, but that, living ardently amid the passions and problems of his age, he takes his share in them, and transports the portion which he has grasped te his canvas. Painting thus understood ceases te be a mere sjiectacle ; it rises higher, and assumes a moralizing and educating role. The citizen infuses the artist, and with a grand and noble pic ture we liave a lessen of social and political morality." A Southern Journalist Murdered. Colonel Reger J. Page, a prominent law law yer and editor of the Tuiiet'Ileglater, at Marlen, X. C.was shot and Instantly killed at that place en Monday night, lust alter alighting from the midnight train, which brought htm from Round Knob. He had gene a hundred yards from the station, and was leaning en the arm of his friend, Judge Haywood, of Texas, whlle en his left was another filend. when seme ene came up behind him and shot him through the neck, which was broken by the ball. His assailant ran, mounted a horse and Hed the town. A coronet's inquest was hurriedly held, rendering a verdict of death bv a person unknown. A young man had threatened te kill Colonel Page and was seen following the dead man at the station en Monday night. Quite a ciewd had gathcicd cxpeitiug trouble, and indeed, the rumor that seme one intended injuring Colonel Page, was se curicnt In the town that when the pis tol shot was 11 led at midnight many per sons remained thai ii, rage was in trou ble.

HE COMES IT TO THE rTBUC CRIB FEW PIECES 6P SILVER. FOR A The Ex-County Solicitor Obtain 936 for Burial of a Soldler W.hea Funeral Ex penses Wero Paid Twe Year Age. The act of assembly of 16S5 directs that the county commissioners shall pay$35 towards the burial expenses of a soldier who "dies without sufficient mean) te de fray the necessary funeral expenses." The same law directs that committees In each ward shall be appointed by the commis sioner te leek after and cause te be burled, In a decent and respectable manner, the body of any honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine. What is desired In this artlcle is te 'call the attention of the cemmis sieners te the fact that they are oc casionally Imposed upon. Under the law they cannot avoid such Imposition, as It Is mandatory upon them te pay $35 when the committee of the district certify that a soldier leaves insufficient means te defray burial expenses. The case in point Is Ihl. In May, 1887, the wife of William Bewman died. She made no will, but In her last mouients she enjoined upon her children that her husband should have n home as long as he lived. This arrangement was satisfactory te the children ; ofter the mother's death ene of his daughters, Mrs. Sides, kept house and William Bewman was given his beard asau equiva lent for the hottse rent, and he made his home with Mrs. Sides until his death, which occurred In the following Septem ber. After the death of Mr. Bewman Mayer Edgerley was made the administrator of the estate. He sold the personal property and real cstate and filed his account te the September term, 1888. According te the account there was realized from tho.estato 1,271.20, out of which was paid all the expenses incidental te the settlement of the estate, as well as the funeral expenses of Mrs. Bewman and her husband, William, as well as the ex pense of two tombstones, one for each of them. One of the Items efthe account is $100.50 paid L. R. Rote for the coffins of Mr. and Mrs. Bewman. At the tlme of the death of Mr. Bewman there was no claim made that he was in indigent circumstances and his ease was net reported te the ward coininit ceininit coininit Ice of the Grand Army. The children woie all satisfied that his funeral expenses should be paid out of their muthei'n cstate. On tlie 10th of July (nearly two years after Win. Bewman's death) when the county commissioners were in session a blank, such as are used in making applica tion for the i35 burial fund of indigent soldiers, was presented te them for pay pay ment by A. F. Shenck, representing Jehn and R. F. Bewman, two of the sons of William. It was in the usual form and approved by Geerge H. Miller and Win. D. Ktauller) the Grand Army ward committee. In addition it contained the follewing: We, the undersigned citizens of full age resid ing In Lancaster city, Seceud ward, hereby duly atlest the above report and certlfy that Will, Bewman died without suffi cient mcan3 te defray the necessary funeral expenses. Gee. CrtAMEit, C. M. Stiune, J. E. Shexck. On the 12th of July an order was drawn en the county treasurer for 35, te the order of Messrs. Mlller and Staufler, the com mitteemen. On the tame day tlie order was presented te the treasurer, endorsed by Messrs. Miller and Staufler. It Is net clalmed that they received the money en this erder. Whoever drew It handed it te Mr. Slienck, the attorney for Jehn and R. F. Bewman, and thelatter two received the (35. When the remaining children heard what had been done there was a big dis satisfaction. They took the position that as the funeral expenses bad been paid two years age the two sons had no right te put In a claim new. The matter wus called te the attention of the commissioners. They said that under the law they could de nothing but pay the f3e when the paper wasprcsented, appreved by the ward com mittee, as it was in this case. Messrs. Miller and StaufTcr say that Mr. Shenck called upon them wllh the blank, represented It was all right and without examining the paper they put their names toil. If there Ib any imposition Mr. Slienck Is te blame. He prepared the account in the cstate of Mrs. Bewman. It Is In his hand writing and shows that he knew that all the funeral oxpenses of Win. Bewman, even te the tombstone, were paid nnd ao ae counted for. A number of Grand Aimy men who were spoken te dcuounce the action of the parties for drawing 835. They say It Ls Just such matters that injure the efforts of this organization who honestly have the w elfare of the soldier at heart. Iho remaining sons of William Bewman will inake an etrert te compel their two biethcrs te pay back te the county treasury Iho 835 drawn by them. Tlie law appears te be defective in net having a limit te the tlme w lien the claim for the 835 shall be made. If it requircd that the petition for the same shall be pre sented within a icasoiiahle tlme after death tbe county would have been at least 835 better oil' and peihaps mere. There are probably ether cases similar te the hIjevp, and they may new come te light. Tlie LvTi:i.i.im:.NCKii will investigate any complaints reported at that office touching thu Illegal receipter money paid by the commissioners under this utt. The names of Messrs. Cramer, Strino and Jell" Slienck were secured by Jehn Bewman en his representation that tbe funeral expenses were net paid. The part taken in tlie matter by Mr. Slienck has been lrecly discussed en the Barbary CeaU and tiie opinion 1b general that if the facts are made known te the au thorities at Washington Ids chances for that paymaster's commission for which he h an applicant ure very slim. One of Mr. Bewman's sous states that shortly aller his father's death one of the childieii proposed that the 835 allowed by law Ik) petitioned for, but all thuetber chil dren were opposed te that being done, and Elmer Bewman called uim the commis sioners and notified them that his father did net dle in destitute circumstances, and that the family diil net want tlie 835 from the county. It. 1. Bewman, who rccelvcd,art et the 835, says he intends using it ru paying necesary expenses in keeping his Vulier's grave in order, but llie ether clilUlrc, iy they have been paying their share tewart. all such pxjieiiscs. t,UHt) JflSllllttlHMI.

OUR BOYS AWAY FROM 1IOMF.. Hew a Ilrace or Lancaster Politicians Are 9een by a Philadelphia Reporter. Fen Fertratln In Philadelphia rrc. It was remarked that a tall, rather stout, smooth-faced genllemau of 15 or there abouts, who leaned up against the brass guard or a Chestnut strect stere window yesterday, looked a geed deal like Beb Ingcrsell. He wasn't Ingersoll, but he was an equally strong Republican. He an swered te the nanie of Lewis S. Hartmau. He hailed from Lancaster, whero .his "pull'1 Is big. He Is talked of for collector of Internal revenue, and, it Is said, will be backed by the Camoreu Influence. He trains witli Magec. In the last fight hi Lancaster county he was ene of the leaders of the anti-Quay forces In tlie city. He had cotne down with Representative Wal ter Franklin te make, arrangements for an excursion te the seaslde by a Lancaster political club.ef which he Is a shining light. Representative Franklin Is ene of the younger menibers of tlie Legislature. He is scarcely SO. Whlle he did no showy work at the last session, he discovered the possession of solid abilities and was an at tentive and earnest member. He Is a momber of the Lancaster bar with an en couraging practice. He Is the kind of man built te make friends. He ls slightly above the medium height, with a round, smiling face, a luxuriant brown mustache and a winning smile. He takes a great Interest in sports, and the way the Phlllies are crawling up In the Lcague race fills him with Jey. .. ' THE CHESAPEAKE CJLUII. The Splendid Tlme That thfi LnnriiitU-i JJeyn nre ItnvltiR in the Seuth. Reports from the Chesapcake club show that they are having an excellent time down the Chesapeake bay. Owing te a misunderstanding with the owners the beat did net orrlve at Perry vllle en Satur day night but get in Sunday afternoon. This caused conslderablo of a delay, but the beat poeplo paid the expenses of the club whlle they were lying at that place. After they all get en beard the beat steamed down the bay. They did net step until Norfolk was reached en Monday. They wero shown a line time, as soveral of the club's members have friends there. Dur ing tlielr stay they visited the Portsmouth navy yard and inspected tlie man-of-war Franklin, which Is lying there. On Mon day evening they left for Richmond and passed up the James River by night. They had a very pleasant trip and arrived in Richmond at 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing. They remained in the Old Dominion capital until neon when they ran back te Old Point Comfert. A special fiem ene of the members of the dub, te Iho I.ntiilu OE:cEjt, says: "All are enjoying geed health and are delighted with the trip. We have been well received by the people, who, it scorns, cannot de enough for us."

A doclslen was rendercd by Judge Gresham In Chicago en Tuesday, en Perry Brethers' lnterrening petition in the fore closure suit of the Central Truht cemiuny, of New Yerk, against the Wabash, St. Leuis it Pacific railway company. Tlie petition sought damage from tlie Wabash ler the less of a trunk filled with Jewelry. Perry Brethors are jebbers of Jewelry at Chicago. Harvey J. Perry, olio of the firm, had his sample case with him in Springfield. He took the Wabash train for Petersburg, and the Wabash station aent at Springfield checked It as persenal bag gage, and received twenty-live cents ler the 100 pounds excess weight, the trunk weighing 250 pounds and the limit of per sonal baggage licing 150 pounds. En route te Petersburg the train was wrecked, and tlie trunk and contents wero burned. Perry recovered 8012 wertli of the jcwelry and sued the Wabash company for 87,015, tlie value of the Jcwelry and watches de stroyed. The defunse of Humphreys and Tutt, the old receivers of the toad, under whose management the Wabash was when the less occurred, set up tiiat when tlie trunk was received for shipment a new rule had goue Inte ellect, forbidding the carriage of sample trunks as personal bag gage and requiring the transportation as freight. Judge Grcsham decided against the Wabash railway, holding that tlie act of Its servant, the stutien agent, in accepting the sample trunk for shipment as pcisenal baggage bound tlioceiupany,and Judgment was given in Perry Bres. lawn ler S7.015.-I2. The Judge argued that the agent did net bolleve Iho trunk contained weal ing apparel. He recogulzed it asajowelei-'s trunk and was net deceived. Having checked tlie trunk by their agent no per sonal baggage, knowing It contained Jewelry, the receivers became bound te safely transport It and the company was liable for Its less.

Captain Rigbv declared that nobody hud yet leund tlie slightest trace of the missing suake since Its disappearance, mid he thought It quite likely that It was celled up under the bed pan of ene of the engines which was a warm and comfortable place. Importer Thompson subsequently made a lour of the held. Nothing was discovered te Indicate the picsonce el the python ami Mr. Thompson, who lias had thlrty-Ilve years' oxjicrieiiee in handling snakes, said that he thought it would net he found until it get ery hungry and commented le ferage around ler grub.

If he gets around one of your men he will give him a pretty tiKht s'iieee." The companion te Iho suake which is either dead or securely hidden, was taken out of his box by the imiMirter after the tout of the held.

This Is net the first time that Mr. SheatTur has suffered from the depredations of thieves, as his distillery has been broken Inte before, when con siderable whisky was stolen.
