A Sew Cemetery for Lancaster.
The time has come when the question
flaying out a new cemetery for the city
$ will have te be considered. The Lan-
-' caster cemetery-Is nbetit filled, and tlieic
Is net much ground yet tineeeiiiiled In
O-Woetlward nil, TJic several eliurelt
bc ... .... .. .
A-gravej-ariM tlirougueiii me city are in
tnetr nature private, ami net nvannuic
s rer general use. I iiese latter grew up
? en the debe Infills in the vlclnltv of the
X evcrnl churche, and being wnnll, will,
In a short time, ic lined. '1 J icy should
be allowed te remain Inlnet. Thoyaie
of inestimable value us liclug lieautlful
green spots In the mldit of n thickly
populated 'jlty, and .ilTenl an agreeable
relief te the stone and brick of houses
and streets. The time-honored grave
yard which rests co peacefully nlxml Old
Trinity church, In the very heart of
New Yerk city, has net only a historical
interest. AVith the bustling biisine9
world swarming areuud It, It stands u
silent monitor of the evanescence of
everything earthly, and Is a constant
reminder tuet, however iinjKirlaut a man
may be and possessed of however much
wealth, his final resting-place must lie a
narrow cell under a patch of green earth.
The selection of a suitable site for the
new cemetery that wxiii must be laid
out for Lancaster Is a present necessity.
It ought te be fur enough away from the
city limits te net make the purchase of
the ground much of a considera
tion ; and 11 ought te be near enough te
be easily accessible. The value of the
burial lets ought net te lie very high se
that families of moderate means could
buy nnd own them. This Is a imitter of
Importance. Every family etiiHit te In.
encouraged te buy burial letsjust as they
ought te l encouraged te own their
homes. It is one of the things which
endears a city te the hearts of Its Inhabi
tant, and will have a tendency te held
Its population mere closely together.
It Is a wonder that the project of n
new cemetery has net already suggested
Itself te some enterprising buslncs-man.
vAs a business venture there is un
doubtedly money in It, te say nothing
of the immense Itciieflt that would be
thereby conferred en the city. Whether
the cemetery be laid out mid owned by
an individual, a company or n corpora
tion or by whomsoever else, there arc
two requirements that ought te lw
Insisted en, first that the lets lx sold at
s moderate price se that very many
families could own them ; and second,
that it be se laid out in walks and
drive-ways that it will le a credit te the
city.
We have no definite suggestion te
make as te the site for Mich a cemetery.
Thcre are a number of places within a
mile of the city limits which could be
selected that would meet all the require
ment. The winding Conestoga with
Its adjacent hlJU immediately southeast
of the city, would furnish a stte that
would be easy of ucccss and meat beauti
ful of view. Knapp's Villa with its
out-lying twenty-five acres, has been
suggested, and If Its clese proximity te
the built up portion of the city would
be no objection, it would make a most
beautiful site. It would furnish one of
the best views te be found anywhere
about Lancaster.
This Is an earnest suggestion inadu te
our citizens, and as a matter of necessity
It will In a very short time call for some
definite actleu en the pait of thee who
are interested in the general health and
welfare of our city. Let the matter Iks
earnestly considered by our citizens gen
erally and the IJeard of Trade In partic
ular. Who will second us in this prop prep
osition or come forward with suggef suggef
tiens? Jury Verdicts and Judges.
In a Philadelphia case In court, Judge
Pennypacker has taken it upon himself
te reduce the verdict of damages in favor
of Henry Specht, against the Pennsyl
vania railroad company, from $20,000 te
$15,000. The evidence showed that
Bpecht, while 'driving his team wagon
ucressthe track, was struck by the loco
motive of a passenger train, and very
seriously lujuivti. ills boy, about four
years of age, was thrown under a coal

injuries te tue pluiutlll and the action
for damages for the death or his
child were impreerly joined. The plain
tifJ'then disclaimed damage en the hit hit
tereeunt j and, In view of the fact that
Specht's entire claim had been ler 31,
000, and of some testimony showing the
value of his yearly business and earn
ings te I rather small, the court or
dered a remittitur of all the verdict ever
$15,000 te be (lied. I'nder all the cir
cumstances of this particular ease, we
are net prepared te say the court erred,
or that Its iHwitien was taken regardless
of the deliverance of tlie Mipreme court
In Orbanu vs. The Traction Company,
the well-known newsboy case, where
the verdicts of two juries, and the llnal
Judgment of Judge Kinlctter's court
have resulted in the payment te the lmv

Tin: attention of the public Is called In
the Philadelphia Jleeeril of te-day te the
fad Hint Pennsylvania Is losing liur old eld eld
time Industrial supremacy. And the
demon which Is thus dethroning our fair
state Is nothing mere nor less than that
useful nnd ductile commodity, steel.
Twenty years ege when the sleel mil flist
came Inte use n sovero blew was struck nt
our chlefest product, nnd new nil the rail
toads of the country nre practically laid
with steel mils. However, iron was still
almost entirely used for general stiuctural
nnd bildge purposes and for boiler plntes.
During the last five or ten yearn this Is no
longer a fact, and new all the large bridges
In the country are constructed of steel.
Save for stoves and nails nnd ceitnlu kinds
of machinery, with an nbuiuhince of
llessemer steel, Iren could as well become,
se fur as its pinctlcul nee hi its natural state
Is concerned, the product of n lest ait.
This state of affair puittculnrly all'ects
Pennsylvania owing le the fuct that hnr
facilities for making Iren are infinitely
gi eater than for the production of steel,
owing te the distance from the llessemer
ere mines of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. It would be n sad spcctacle If
the prlde of our stntc should thus depart
from us and our Iren industries dle from
pure starvation. However, the history of
modern inventions has shown mere un
likely phenomena in (he industrial arts
than would be such a revolution us this.

Tin: story of n successful career is told
in the life of Charlemagne Tower, a citizen
of Philadelphia, who died the ether day.
As a lawyer in the exauiiuutlnu of land
titles he wen considerable reputation. It
wus a happy uceldent which led him te
leave his unlive state of New Yerk and
t.ike up hU nbode In Pennsylvania, The
coal regions of Schuylkill nnd udjeluhig
coiinties particularly were llie seone of lils
best elTeits. It was owing te his profes
sional ellbrts that thotltleMtoiuucliof thnse
lauds, which were in almost hopeless liti
gation, worn Dually perfected and made
secure. These land are new tlie pronerty
of the Philadelphia iv Reading lien ami
Ceal company.
In IbTIj he took up his residence In
Philadelphia, nnd from Unit time te within
u year or two of his death his business
caicer was ene continued success. His
prhnte enterprises were vuid, connected
mainly with the development of (he coal
lauds of the stute. He wus the llret proprie
tor of the Houvybreok Ceal company, pait
owner hi the well known C'oxe and Tower
lands en tlieOreeu mountain, In Schuylkill
county, and largely Intoii'Med in" the
Northern Pacific railroad. Ills career of
business activity was net al nil enuuued te
Pennsylvania. His Iren operations In
Minnesota, in developing the resources of
the Vermillion range, werua lemaikabie
evidence of his netle business capiclty.
lie sold these interests te a syndicate tw'e
years age for iH.WO.OOtl. He. leaves a debt
of gratitude due fieui two states and a for
tune of $15,ue,000 te his Tour children.
It will be remembered that suiueycuis
age Tower, like Dr. .lajne, of patent medi
cine fame and wealth, permitted some
trading politicians te speculate with his
linuut and money en the chances of the
United States scnater-liip fiein Pennsylva
nia. Tlie movement died early; and it
was just ns well for Tew or that he never

Jehn Wa.vamaukii w lib his w icker bas
kets lias received a thimip from the treas
ury department. He recently appealed
from a decision of the collector of customs
at Philadelphia, assessing duty at the rate
of 35 er cent, ad inlorein'en se-called
wicker liaskets, claiming th.il they were
dutiable at tb rate of :!0 per cent, as com
ing within tlie class of "baskets and all
ether article composed (,r grass, osier,
palm leaf, whalebone, willow or stiaw."
The appraiser found that Jehn's- baskets
were composed of weed, hemp, willow
and silk, the latter being the couqiencut
lart of chief value; also that they were
evidently intended for use as ladies' w erk
baskets. They were consequently io ie
turned for duty as fancy boxes and were
assessed nt 3J percent. The conference of
appraisers recently in session in New Yerk
confirmed the classification of the collector
and the treasmy department confirmed
the decision. Jehn Wunamakcr, the mer

T.nbeucliere's AmeiMtment llcnteu by ii
J.arce Majority.
When the debate en the royal grants wns
resumed in the Heuso of Commens en
Friday Mr. llradlaugh said he found diffi
culty in discussing the question calmly
when Mr. Unlleur outside or the Heuso
denounced the objections ns disgusting nnd
Henlld. The opponents of the grants meant
nothing personally discourteous tn the
members of the revid family, but were
simply acting within their 'rights when
they met the demands of the crown en a
question or llnnuee with a direct negative.
Much of the argument In favor of the
rants was based en the orroneeus idea thnt
ie crown, under llie civil list nets from
Geerge I euwutd, surrendered Its private
properly in exchange for a civil list.
Neither Geerge I nor his successors, Mr.
llnullnugh declared, surrendered anything.
Tlie present loyal family never surren
dered anything of a farthing value te the
country. The committee of Inquiry had
(dieted tlie fact that during the present
reign the savings upon ceitain classes
under thncivil list act, instead of being ap
plied te defray the charges of ether classes,
had been handed te the queen without the
uutheiity of Parliament und In breach of
the statute. Cries of "hear," "hear."
The Right Hen. W. II. Smith, the gov
ernment leador,had denied that the alleged
savings of the queen were ever XJ,Ooe,ooo,
but he declined le chew hew much money
had elther been saved by the quceti or
drawn by the ether muuibeisef the royal
family from all sources.
Mr. llrudlaugh said them ought le be
nothing te conceal. The factor the con
coaling led te exaggemted Ideas. The
renisnlef tlie government te disclose the
wealth amassed by royalties justified the
aversion of the country te inyul grants,
elisers.
Lord Randelph Churchill aigitcdthat the
eiiglnal demands of the government were
Just, besides being in conformity with pre
cedent. If burdens were thrown upon the
crown net intended under the civil list, it
would Impair the credit of the nation and or
1'jrliamcut. Mr. Uradlaugh had questioned
tlie title or the crown teltscstntes: but suc
cessive Parliaments had recognized, and
none of the greatest lawyers had ever vet
challenged, the crown's title. He reminded
thu Heuse that Sir Henry F. Ponsenby, her
majesty's private secretary, a few years
age denied reports that the queen wos'inak wes'inak
ing iuiinonse Investments In ground rents,
and stated that she had net il.oeo.tXH) te
invest in anything, l.erd Randelph said
that the Radicals' overestimate of the
queen's vycalth was designed toexcile pop pep

te the adoption or methods thn puiposeef
which wns te foment a clHiner ngHlust the

An OntiMteby Wliltei iips.
The following comes fietn (illlesile, 111,
While Henry llekamp and his who were

shameful liberties with tliv woman and

the last hanging proving se near fatal that
he could only he revived by the ndminis ndminis
trillien or medicine. They then left him.
The reason of the out nign is said le have
been meie suspicion that llekamp had
committed petit larceny. The case has
been put In the hands el Colonel Oiler, a
criminal lawyer, of I.lichilcld, who sevs

Geed evening t
..
Urex my return, after nearly three year
absence, Iain most impressed In Lancaster
with an observation of the new era In
building that the city Is Just new experi
encing. Never, in a recollection thnt ex ex
tendsback well nigh n quarter of a cen
tury, at any one time vvere there se many
large and Important structures In ceurse of
erection as at present. Resides the Astrtch
Improvement, the Feltr block en Chestnut
street, (he Haas building en last Orange,
and the surpassingly beautiful McOrann
building In Centre Square, both nearly fin
ished, the Hclnltsh and Arneld buildings
en North Queen, the addition te William
son A- Fester's, the Laucaster Trust com
pany's building, the new Control tnar tnar
ket house, and the Presbyterian chapel,
tlie Osbern A Hartmnn factory en Water
street net te mention the new Methodist
and .St. Jehn's Lutheran cliurclies nnd tlie
long-delayed government building in con
templation prove most gratifying spirit
of progress new Ijelng realized In Lancas
ter. As ground near the densely built, central
part of tlie city becomes scarcer and mere
valuable, as it is bound le with every
permanent and substantial Improvement,
the use of the elevator will become mere
prevalent. Te this ehlef ene of what are
called the "secondary Inventions" Is
largely due the erection of such magnifi
cent business blocks and '.' fiat " housej, as
began in Chicago ten or fifteen years age,
extended te New Yerk and Jtosten. struck
Philadelphia with the erection of the
Uttllltt building and tlie reconstruction of
the Drexel block, nnd Is finally felt in
Lancaster. I venture tlie prediction that
no ground between Centre Square and the
court house, the Stevens heuse and the
Pennsylvania jiassenger station will here
after be occupied by any new building of
narrow plan and mean dimensions, and
Hint elevaters with constant atlendantswlll
mnke the third nnd fourth floors of such
structures morn scrvlceahle and profitable
than they have been oflate years.
Tin: wonder of it istint se nvallable and
valuable a plot of ground ns that te be oc
cupied by thn Central market heuse should
lie taken up with n ono-stery building.
What a splendid deer for a public library
and a great town hall would have been
afforded by seme generous plan efn second
story ! Fer ralrs, general political and
ether public meetings such a scheme
would hnve furnished a most eligible loca
tion and have filled a "long felt want" ; the
supply of It would readily have com
manded a geed interest en tlie extra ex
penditure required. Moreevor the court
house should net be given up te the mis
cellaneous uses te which It Is let. Thn erec
tion nre town hall would ebviate the ne
cessity or misusing "the temple erjustlcc."
..
Anii w lint a fine thing it would be le have
a town meeting once a month in such n
town hall; te liove nil the people assemble
anil spenk their minds -haul derelict coun
cils ever tlie cenls, eiltlclse school beards,
wake up sleepy Heards or Trade, rebuke
lazy or unrelluble newspapers and have a
rree parliament nnd n free light every
thirty days. Such an institution would
lead te Independence of thought nnd rrco rrce rrco
deni or expression; it would elliulnntn
baleful partisanship from the municipal
government, it would providebetlcr streets
and better water and it would quicken an
enlightened public spirit.
.
Osr. year of continuous ngltiitieii In such
an assembly would secure for Lancaster
what everybody says it needs, a public
park ; and It could be secured hi Just the
right way, partly by private donations
and partly by n city appropriation. The
ether day n well known business man,
who is neither rich nor gaudy, tupped me
en the shoulder and snld: " Glad te see
you back ; go en with your park scheme,
and when It is ready I have S1,X) for

that $L',000 n yean nnd J-XOOO from prlvnte

found for it, hew would that loop or land
de that lies between the almshouse nnd
Witmer's bridge, all the way round en
the right bank ortlie Conestegn creek? It
comprises a beautiful knell, high and
easily dtullied; the fifty acres of Recky

nexed with a picturesque bridge ; it would
be easy oreppro.ich; reached by the street
cars, and yet net tee rometo ferpedestiians.
It would afford beating and skating, and

Ac, Ii. McN. Stautfer, esq., Rev. Dr. J. II.
Dubbs, S. H. Zahm und ethers of our local
hlstei Inns and autlqunrlnns could furnish
rich material and xiihiable hints. If the
Hamilton will make itself the repository
of local curies or value, taste and interest,
or portraits, engravings, sketches, books
plate, china and furniture that have a local
hlstei leal Interest, it will net only find Its
collection grew rapidly in oxlent and
wealth, but it will be provided with a rich

be inconsistent with the character of the
club or Its home, but te have its walls bla bla

growth or our geed city would be hi the
highest degree tilting.

I weNimu sometimes where Ibis ihxxl or
"literature" istesnd, and whether after
all tils Ceueinaugh cataclysm was us dis
astrous te what nieu and women ought te
regard most dearly asthis turgid and tuibid
stream or fiction tliet rolls out from the
publishing houses. If no new novels were
written for a generation ; if all the present
ones which couldn't last that long vvere te
become extinct, I nm quite sure the popu
lar taste would be improved and Kpular
morals purified. There are already acces
sible enough geed works of fiction te sup
ply three a week te the average innii nnd
woman, for his or her lifetime; some of
these must be supplanted and Ignored te
nllbrd eprtuidty for Indulgence in the
new, which are mostly evanescent and
trashy If net vile. It h net that our young
people's ears are sealed te (. haucer.Spenser
andShakekpeare, Milten and Pepe, Words
worth, Coleridge and Keats, Tennvsenand
Longfellow j and that thediistisihick ii)en
the book shelves where lieldsmlth, Addi
son, I .auib, Sydney Smith and all the great
masters of style stand undisturbed ; but
Scott and Mueaulay, Thackeray and
Dickens, Tiollepe, Mrs. Haskell, Cooper,
Irving, Haw tlierue and even Hew ell and
James, who se lately seemed lauilllar
acquaintances, ure steadily ignored bv a
generation given ever te lMgar Saltus,
Anielle Rives and u trlboef writers who
ape their weibt methods without having
any of their genius, 1 supposed we cam
net object te Tolstoi, Daudet and Ralae,
when everybody seems te he reading them,
but I de pretest that we might draw tlu
line at F.lla Wheeler Wilcox and Gertrude
Atherteu.
I ski; nice girls bundling and I hear of
boys who de want te be considered n.istv
reading "modern" books with an air of
innocence or the atlectatien of It that Is
a trifle shocking. In one day recently en
the bookstalls of aercn different stations
pf the Union Newi company I saw con
spicuously oxpeaad te sale a ' new book '
without even a Mggwtlva tltla. A friend
of mine, a hardened sinner, who drink
whisky, play pekef and buy stray lcgl lcgl
lntlve votes, get held of It the ether day at
the Bread Street station. He had acaretly
read It as far as Overbroek when he seized
an opportunity te threw It out of the car
window Inte a stable yard that the train
hapiicned te te passing. I should fear te
mention the nsme of It lest there be a run
en the local benksellar for It for the
same reason that a thousand people in
this town will te-morrow bay a certain
filthy Sunday newspaper that circulates
here a clsewiicre becatise It glve the latest
intelligence from the brothels of this and
adjoining cities.

Under tlie nhove heading (lie New Yerk Werhl
of Ki-b, 10th, contains nn editorial, of which the
following nre n few extract :
" I'hynlcluns nm! unprofessional men of icnse
agree thnt 'if people would taken little of the
pains te prevent disease that they de te have it
cured that the civilized vrerld would he much
less like a vast hospital than It Is new.
Hut the Men efn regular and stated physical
examination, even of persons who nre n;
parently well, Is nn excellent one. The ap
proaches of pulmonary cnmplnlnte, kidney
troubles, nnd ninny of the oilier His that flesh
Is heir tonreselusldiouiinsnnt te he nppnrcnt
te their victim. . i nothing H It
truer than lit disease Hint ' nu niuiee of preven
tion Is vrerth n pound of cure.' "
There Is n great deal or wisdom In what the
H'urMreninrkK. Individuals, ns n ride, de net
glve their physical welfare nttentleu, nnd It Is
only when alurined by the presence of disease
Itself the consciousness of fulling fctrength
that attention Is given te such matters.
.Much has been wild niul written in recent
years concerning the extreme and oftentimes
fatal danger which results from delay In Ihe
treatment of kidney diseases.
l'liysiclnns ndmlt that they cannot control
ndvnnec-d disease In these organs, nnd It Is
doubtful whether they enn control It In any
stuce without the assistance of Warner's Hide
Cure, which Is established as the only known
menus which will reliably prevent und euro
this class of (license,
llcsldes, It has been definitely nseertnlneil
that kidney disease is the rail causa of nil III
lienltli In most cases where consumption, heart,
bruin ornerveusdlsordersaresiippost-d teexist,
nnd In consequence or such belief many ratal
mistakes hnve been committed by our best
physicians In treating such disorders, which nre
but the symptoms of the disease, whilst they
hnve allowed the real disease of Ihe kidneys,
toesenpe until loe late.
There Is no snfer or surer wny by which health
can be preserved nnd disease uverled than Ihe
occasional use of Warner's Safe Cure, which
will benefit the "engine of life," the kidneys,
even If they ure In a normally healthy state;
while the geed that will result In case disease Is
threatened, or Is utready present, cannot be
overestimated.
The most careful cxsmliintien made by a
tkllirul physician sometimes is unreliable,
since this class or disease Is extremely decep
tive, and seldom openly manifests Itself until
the unsuspecting suilcrer Is beyond assistance.
