A rOLICKMF.N'9 THItKAfS Mnceccd In Preventing Isaac K. Mearlir Frem Selling III Goods. The city authorities get their " work In" this morning en Isaac K. Mearig, the dealer in smoked meats, who for twenty rive years had a stand In front of Marshall Sen's shoe stere. Fer three successive market days suit was entered against Mr. Mearig by Market-Master Bushong,who awakened Alder man Barr shortly after fi o'clock en these three days, te entertain the complaints for violation of the etfy ordinances. Mr. Mearig attended the first hearing, and with his counsel, B. F. Davis, resisted the imposition of a penalty, hut a fine of flOwas Imposed. The second artd third suits Mr. Mearig did net defend but allow ed Judgment te Ikj entered against him by default. On Friday afternoon Mr. Davis prosentrd Mr. Mearig'fl petition te the court and prayed that he might be allowed te appeal the cases upon such terms as lhenurt would direct. Judge Patterson made an order allowing him te appeal upon entering recognizance In the sum of (40 te pay costs that may accrue, the alderman te be mid costs In only ene case, the constable costs in the three cases te be paid but the wit nesses net te be allowed any fees. This disposition of the cae by the court appeared te anger the market-master, and this morning when Mr. Mearig was about beginning business Market-Master Hiram Bushong told him that he could net sell. Mr. Mearig went en with his preparations and as he was about te put a canvas reef ever his stand ene of the police ser geants said te him that he had orders from the mayor te arrest him and lock him up If he attempted te sell any meat. There were three or four policemen near by and one of them said te Mr. Mearig as he was standing en his table that If he went any farther he would liave 10 arrest mm. air. aiearig am net want te be locked up and he left the market. The stand was net occupied at any tlme during the morning. Mr. Mearig will bring a suit for damages against the city. The prosecutions against Mr. Mearig wero brought by the market-master, and In his testimony bofero Alderman Barr he said he was directed te de se bv tlie mnver. Joel L. Haines, chalimau of the market committee, said his committee, was net consulted about the matter, and if it had been no suits would have been brought. He did net think the ordinance under which Mr. Mearig was proi prei ecuted applied te his case, as the sale of fresh meats only was intended te be prohibited en the streets. He thought the bringing of the suits an interference with the prerogateries of the market committee, and it was abundantly able te attend te its own affairs. In conclusion he said the greatest latttude should be given, while the market house was being built. After It is completed, It might be well then te enforce strictly the ordinance governing the city markets. Alderman Barr, whose costs are cut off in his cases, does net appear te be falrlv treated. He wbs net nptirty te the bring ing of the suits, and issued the writs against Mearig at the direction of the city authorities. Ills counsel will endeavor te have the court's erder modified as te his costs. PASSED THE EXAMINATIONS Three Lancastrians Answer Civil Ser Ser vlce Questions.

Plve Hundred Persons, Mostly Women, Are Injured The Explosion Caused ltrTakliinOld Cart ridges toPleec. The explosion in a dynamlte cartridge factory In Antwerp en Friday caused tlie less of .100 or mere lives and the wounding of nearly 1,000 persons. Every empleye in the immediate vicinity of the first nx- filoslen wits blown te pieces, se that It Is inposslhle te tell hew the accident oc curred, but It is prohable that seme ene dropped a pnekage of the terrible explosive. The cartridge factory was situated behind the decks upon which millions of cartridges were being leaded. It was adjacent te the petroleum Bteres, and two large Russian petroleum warehouses were set en flre and destroyed with their contents. The bourse is In the near neighborhood and the build ing was struck by flying fragments and set en Are. The structure was crowded with bankers and business men abd they rushed out, trampling one another down in their fright. Tlie factory was completely tern te pieces and all the buildings in the Immediate vicinity shattered. The damage te property is enormous, but is lightly ro re garded In view of the dreadful less of life, The police, gendarmes and troops were at once summoned te assist tlie firemen in extinguishing tlie flames and extricating the wounded and the bodies of the dead. A strong cordon of troops kept back the crowd, but outside of this wall of bayonets was a pitiful throng of weeping wives and mothers. A large number of tfieempleyes were girls. The roll of the dead Is simply tlie list of empleyes In the building, less these found among the wounded and the few who returned te their homes. Of the killed there is but a mass of dismembered limbs and manelcd trunks of bodies. The wounded are also horribly disfigured and many will die. As the wounded were brought out they were taken In charge by the priests and sisters of charity. All that the former in many cases were able te de was te shrive the dying. They were con veyed te the hospitals and everything pos sible dene te allevlate their suffer lugs. The explosion occurred In a workshop where old cartridges were being taken te pieces. Men end women were actively engaged at breaking them up, and 2.",000 000 had been partly broken. The donse black smoke from the burn ing petroleum hung all day likea pall ever the city and Friday night It rcflocted the plare of the flames, which are still raging. The flre new covers two acres. The flames sheet u p te an Immense height. Amid the rear of the flames there Is a continuous succession of loud reports, supposed te be from the ignition and explosion of packets of cartridges. Beyond the Russian tanks and Neble's sheds there are numereus houses burning. The shipping at the African and American decks fsindanger.lt will 1)0 Impossible te extinguish the flames in less than twenty-four hours. Several vessels liave been burned. Owing te the Intouse beat the firemen are unable te ap proach the llaines nearer than ene hundred yards. The explosions continued until after mid night. At the American decks all the ships have been saved owing te the favor faver faver able direction of the wind. The stained windows of the cathedral are smashed and it is feared that tlie stcople will collapse. The whele vicinity Is strewn wllh debris. The deck sheds and hydraulic cranes are greatly damaged. The soldiers of the gar rison and a large number of cltirensare as sisting the firemen. Many nre dropping from suffocation. The scenes at the hospi tals are heartrending. King Leepold has sent a telegram expressing sympathy ami asking for particulars. The explosion occurred itithoCervHclan cartrldge factory. This establishment had been condemned by the Communal coun cil, but the deputation crmaiicnte allewed work te continue. The people are Incensed at the deputation perumnte for allowing work te centlnun In themrtridrrn fiictnrv. The victims are mostly factory girls. Windows three mlles distant were shattered bv the explosion. ANOTHER OIIAVIUC ACCOt'NT. The New Yerk Herald has the following dispatch from Antwerp. At a quarter pest two o'clock a terrlllc oxpleslon was heard even as far us Ghent. The whele town was shaken, und Immedia tely afterward it seemed us though a rain of glass was falling ever the surrounding country. There Is net a whole window In Antwerp. Even the magnificent stained glass windows of the cathedral were do st roved. It was at first supposed that an earthquake had taken plaee, but suddenly the sun, which was shining brightly, was obscured by an Inpeuotrable cloud of smoke, tinged by the led glare of a gicat fire. It was near the pert and Just behind the dry decks that the catastrophe took place, in a powder machine belonging te M. Cor Cer vllaln, a merchant, who recently purchased forty millions of old cartridges, intending te sell the pewder. His work peeple, ever one hundred In number, mero than half of them being wonieti, woie occupied in the (ask of opening these cartridges when the explosion took place. Te what it was due thoie Is very little hope of diFcoverlng. for net ene of M. Cor Cer viluin's em ploy ea has as yet bceu found alive. A few minutes after the explosion a vast sheet of llaine leaped up Inte the sky and it was seen that a petroleum wareheuse net far from the powder magaziiie was en fire. Even In bread daylight the blaze of 40.000 barrels of potrelcum en Are was vis vis ible at a distance of ever thirty miles at Brussels. Then the Malsen Hydrauliqnoef Ant werp, which furnishes the motive power for all the cranes and ether machines of the pert, suddenly gave way and lecame a heap of ruins. Every were in the streets were w'eunded persena, and at finqucnt In tervals ene came across parts of the human frame, such as legs and arms. I liave ascertained that the disaster Is really the outcome of political bickering between the town council and the pro vincial council. Tlie former is liberal and the latter clerical. The latter granted jicr inissinu te M, Cervallain te locate his powder factory In such a dangerous plaee only te am e the town council. This dis closure causes intense Indignation. The fire has spread In all diiectlens In the city. Warehouses in which from 'JO, 000 te 2T,000 barrels of jictreleum ure stored are en lire, as are manv of the vessels In the decks. The Scheldt resembles a ilver of fire. The whele of the garrison uiufa laige part of the male population of the town are aiding the firemen, but their elterts are simply useless. ANTWi:ni, Sept. 7. The fire is still raging, all efforts of the firemen assisted by military and populace te quell it having w far proved unavailing. The decks ami shipping aie untouched by the flames, as the direction of the u Ind has lieen tow arils the town continuously. A Judicial Inquiry into the origin of the explosion has been ordered. Noe.v Its new estimated that the num ber of deaths by yesterday's disaster will net exceed 1C0. Twe hundred and fifty persons were seriously, and 300 slightly injured. The tiremen and troops worked through the entire night en hourly shifts. Many of thorn succumbed te the beat and smoke, and had te be conveyed te hospitals insensible en stretchers. The work Is new entirely confined te keeping the flre from spreading b-yend the sheds and factories within the dry decks. The wind still con tinues favorably. Six million litres of petroleum nre In flames. The oil, It Is expected, will con. tinue te burn until Monday. At the moment of the explosion many of the workmen Jumped into the Scheldt In their fright and w ere drew ned. A number of sailors and customs etllcers were killed en beard the ships by flying bullets, and the ships were riddled by inUsiles. It is estimated that 2,000 tens of cartridges ex. pleded. The noise was heard thirty miles away. Human heads and ether parts of bodies were found half a mile away from the scene cf the dimmer, PA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1889. THE LANCAsran FAKIRS. The Season Fairly Opened nud the Beys are New Kept Busy. There are no mere enterprising men In Lancaster city than the hacksters, or fakirs, who attend the fairs throughout this and ether states, and In fact every ether publie gathering where they can turn an honest dollar. The season for most of them began at Williams' Greve last week and the ma jority of them will be en the go until late in the fall. The lairs take their attention new and net a few of them will go down through the Seuth, remaining for two months. Next week a number will have stands here while ethers prefer te go away. A great manv of them were at Lebanon this week and the train from that place waa partially filled with them last evening. Tlicv had qulte a let of fun en the ears, as son "a Insisted upon taking the largest kind or bundles in the train with them. The trainmen kicked and were obliged te carry many of the huge bundles Inte the baggage car. One brakman Mid : "I guess the next thing these hucksters will want te bring a herse and wagon in the car and expect lis te carry them." The fakirs took every thing goed-naturedly, as they are n Jelly crowd and have the greatest kind of a time. Fred Welfer, a Lancaster man who had a lemonade stand at the -Lebanon fair, was unfortunate, yesterday afternoon. When the rain camel up he began! lwcklua his things. His money was in a handkerchief and It was stolen by two boys who were assisting him. There was $20 in the "pet" and none of It was recovered. SAVED 11 V 8EA-WEEII. A Millien Dellar Carge 11ns n f'uiieiiM Escape l'rem Davy Jeiicm Lecker. The East India splce-ladcn clipper ship, Aiiahnac, 118 days nut from Ceylon, was sighted en Thursday by the tmr Hercules oil the caiies of the Delaware, leaking badly, and was towed te New Yerk. Hhe had en beard a cargo of spices worth $1, 000,000, and the ship was saved from floun dering en tlie voyuge in a most curious manner. On tlie ship's second day out from Ceylon It was noticed that the vessel was leaking. The leak gradually Increased off the Cape of Geed Hepo after a sevore westerly gale, with a mountainous sea. The woter gained rapidly, and the course of the vessel was turned toward St. Hclena. But still the leak Increased te twenty Inches per hour, and Captain Weldon seriously contemplat ed abandoning the vessel, and he would probably liave done se had net the vessel rcached the gulf stream current, where the drift soawecd werked Itself Inte the crevices of the ship's bottom, stepping the leak and giving all bands an opportunity te rest. As long as possible the vessel was kept In this great current of water, and then her course was shaped toward the Capes. On arriving off the coast the leak again Incroased. and when found by the Hercules the ship was leaking at the rate of twenty-feur inches per hour.

The efforts of Sullivan nud his friends ie have a miscarrlage of the court has hed the etrect of turning citizens against him. It Is said the full extent of the law will be car ried out. One farmer said that he could pay ns much for the lcase us any ene and If he secured the contract tlie slugger from " Boanvllle " and the hard hltter from Baltimore would stand at the helm of the hurricane deck.

BARRV LACT EASILY SECCRE8 SOME BOODLE FROM SEVERAL LANCASTRIANS. The St rouge r Represents Himself ni nn Agent of Fercpaugh's show en I Makes Some Benis Contracts. II seems that Harry Lacy, the voting man, who was here en Thursday and Fri day, arranging for the appearance of Foro Fero Fore paugh's circus en October 1st and 2d, Is a fraud. The young fellow arrived In Lan caster en Thursday and nt ence went te the Stevens house. He was geed looking, about M-yeara-eld nud was well dressed. He waa rather ttelew the average height and had a clean shaven face. At the hotel he nt onee began a big game of bluff. He an nounced that he wssFetcpaugh's represen tative iiiul mid Clerk Cenlln te telephone te the butchers, bakers, feed men ami ethers, who usually furnish supplies te slrcuscH, notifying them that he was here, and rcadv te receive proposals. He saw n tiumW of these men and began operations with them. He worked lu this way. He would ask a butcher at what prlee lis could furnish a large quaiittlyef meat. If the butcher would !!'".. ..'l nts per pound, he would Nan Vv ell, you Just make It six cents and glve me a check for the total amount of tl e ene com per pound dlfloreiico." In this way he secured 910 from It tit t ,t v., nuiciiers, aim tne same sum from Wenger A- Bre., feed nicU He had the clerk at the Slevens heuse e.ish the Weiigcr check and when one of that linn, who became suspicions of him, asked Mm te give him hack the check for n 910 note. Ijm?.v replled that he had Just sent the check te bonk. Lacy was very fend of blowing and said that he was receiving be tween 97,000 and 98,000 per season Yrem lorepaugh, but he thought he would leave him nnd Jein Baruuiii for the European trip. The young mnn seemed te have plenty of money, and he simnt It lavishly, treating every ene that he met. He went te the opera house te negotiate for the bill beards and afterwards called upon Rebert Hunting, who has the circus nt Vine and Mulberry streets. Mr. Hunt ing treated him courteously, but had a suspicion about him. He finally asked him why It wns that Ferepangh would visit Ijiucaster after Bnrnum had already been here, when the two have a contract net te visit the same towns In ene mm ion. This staggered the young mnn, but he wriggled al out and mannged te get out an answer, which, however, was net very satisfactory ie his questioner. Lany called at the l.m:i.uui:NCi:n ofllee and with a big amount or nerve asked for the editorial rooms. He was directed up stairs and he opened upon a reporter, who for years has listened te the lies that circus meu alone can tell. Lacy said that he wanted te see the head man of the cencent. The reporter, who, by this tlme thought that the fellow was only Boeend In fresh ness te an Ice wagon, Informed htm that he guessed he could attend te hlm. Lacy, or whoevor the young duck Is, then speke somethlng like this: "1 nm Harry Ijicy, representing the Forepnugh show, which will be here October 1st and i!d ; we will then be en our hemeward trip; I thought I would lust step In nnd soe hew you wero getting along nnd tell you that we were qemlng. I will be back again and glve you a deuble column ad. V ell, I can't step long, but must be nir te get through my work." At the close of this speech he disappeared down the stairway. He left town en Migai a Express nt 10:55, stating that he would return nt 8 last evening, but he never canienud thoie is no doubt that he went te seme ether town te piny the same old game. Although the trick Is ancient It Is always successfiil when a sleek man works It. Alter tlie Interview wilh the nllccrnd agent, the reporter started out te find some thing about Lney. He seen learned enuiigh te satisfy hlm that the man was a beat, and mero cntne te light te-dny. In the first place the young man stepped at n hotel where circus agents seldom go. He had no baggage, but ene valise, although he said he formerly had a car, but It w its leit in the Johnstown flood. All the time he wan here ha did net go near the ewner of the let en which he said the show would appear, nor did he make any arrangements for it. He had no printed centmctp, as circus men always hive, but hud seme made hore enatvpe writer. He did a great deal that would threw suspicion upon hlm with anyone who knew anything about shows, but he was careful net te talk long te such peeple. He probably knows something of the busi ness and may have been with the show us candy butcher, or in some ether capacity, long enough te obtain a lillle knowledge or It. Fer his piirieses he assumes the liamoeriinrry Lucy, the actor In the "Still Alarm" Company. SHE. PADDLES llE.lt OWN CANOE. A Weman Who Is Known All Through the State te Pair Geers. Tlie Philadelphia Accord says of a woman who In well known In Lancaster; Mrs. William Knecht, a burly German woman who resides in this city, is probably known te moie peeple in this state than any ethor publie character. She is known as the "paddle woman," and lias made herself famous by her annual tours of the state, which she has made uninterruptedly for many years. At all the county fair she conducts a chance game operated with ten or u dozen paddles and a wheel, the possosser of the lucky number bslng glven the selection of any ei tlie articles lu her booth. With her hands full of paddleu the woman paces up and down and cries: "Come up and have a little sport. Here's where you get 910 worth for 25 cents." In a few minutes there is gencrally u scrambling crowd alftund her fighting for her paddles. 'I he woman has "followed the fairs" for many years, making each year a completn circuit of the state, nnd has made herself famous. A VERY NARROW escape. Samuel M.

It Is a series of spectacular effects, produced by scenery, colored lights and gtinpowder and npproprlnte costuming. The impression is weird, horrible, gro tesque nnd beautiful.
