Messrs. Hehrer, Haines and Kiddle, who
requested President Ieng te eonveno
councils te tnke action en proposed cIisiike
of grade en east side of North Duke street,
between Lemen and James streets.
Mr. ltlddlusald It was hardly necessary
te refer te tlie dlfucultles that beset tlie
committee when about te begin the paving
of Uuke street, between Lemen nnd James
streets. The same dlMciilty he feared
would be met when ether .'streets Bre te be
paved. Mr. Itlddle In conclusion sidd that
the property owners en this square of
Duke street, en tlie east side, would like te
have their pavements widened ene feet,
and he presented the following petition
signed by mero than two-thirds of the
square, (as required by the city ordinance.)
Te the Honorable, the Select and Common
Councils of tlic City of Lancaster.
The undersigned property owners, resid
ing en North Uuke street betweim Lemen
and James streets, most respectfully ask
your honorable bodies te extend tin curb
line of the pavement one feet from the
established width of cloven feet for the fol
lowing reasens:
1. Without extending the curb line it is
impossible te set tlie curb stones without
greatly Injuring and destroying a large
number of the beautiful sliade trees along
the pavement.
1!. If tlie pavemcat is widened it will cost
the city proportionately less te have the
street paved.
.1. .Suporler workmanship will lie attained
by reason et a uniform curb.
4. The paving of the first square in this
part of the city should be denn me well that
hereafter ether pavements may be made
te conform theietn.

Accompanying tlie petition was a certifi
cate of City Engineer Herr th.it the re
corded width nftmi pavement en tlie east
side of Duke street, between Lemen nml
James streets is 11 feet and the present
width of the pavement en the west side is
12 feet. If tlie west side of the street is
narrowed te 1 1 feet, it will necessitate tlie
re-settlng of the curbs and the destruction
of shade trees.
Te carry tlie petition Inte eflVctand te
bring tlie matter befere councils, Mr. Kid
dle offered the following :
Whkhkas, More than two-thirds of tlie
owners of preperty abutting en North
Duke street, between Lemen and James
streets, have petitioned te have the width
of tlie side walks or pavements en said
street or bquarc, changed from 11 te 12 feet,
therefore be it
Jlcselvcd, lly the select and common
councils that tlie petitleiiers' request be
granted and the width of the sidewalks or
avemcnts be changed te 12 feet, the ox ex ox
pense of widening said pavements te be
defrayed by the ewners of tlie respective
properties abutting en said street.
Mr. Erlsman said he was opposed te
granting the prayer of tlie petitioners.
Tliere w ere no cellar doers or obstructions
en tliis side of tlie street and tlie pavement
was wide enough.
Mr. Haines favored tlie granting of the
petition. It is an improvement much te be
desired and will be dene without expense
te tlie city.
The resolution was adopted, with only
ene dissenting vole, that of Mr. Erlsman.
TUB IIKI'OIIT OP hTltKKT COMMITTKI:.
Mr. Kiddle presented tlie rexrt of tlie
street committee, agreed upon after an ox ex ox
iimintien of the square te be paved :
Tlie committee state that "after carefully
viewing the ground and obtaining the
opinions of the city solicitor and city reg
ulator the commlttee. resolved te ask of
councils permission te change the grade of
the curbing en tlie east side of Duke street
from Lemen te James te the same height
as that of the recorded grade en tlie west
side."
Mr. Kiddie nlsoellerisl tlie follewing:
Whkiikai, In tlie opinion of tlie city
regulator it will be necessary te change
the street grade en tlie east side of North
Duke street between Lemen and James
streets in order te properly pave the said
street with asphalt blocks, and
Wiiimiuam, Thecuiin anil pavements of
thoprepoitv owners are new liid in ac
cordance with the established grade of the
citv, therefore be it
Jlzaelveit, lly tlie select mid coin uen
councils of the city of lamenster, Hint the
grade of wild street en tlie east side be
raised te confirm with the recorded grade
en thn west side and the street committee

property owners, who will be damaged by

tlie said chance of grade
Mr. Klddle said the street commlttee
desired te have a geed square made. He
did net want te appear as an advocate of
the raising of people's pavements. Theio
appeared te be a necessity for a change of
grade te get a properly paved square,
and he asked that City Engineer Herr be
allowed te tell councils about the grade of
tills street.
city KNeixEKii hi:iih'shtati:mi:nt.
Mr. IUrr explained te select councils all
about the grade of the square about te be
iaved, and said in hisjudguieut the east side
should be rai:.ed te conform te the west
side te get a geed piecn of work. He nl.se
pointed out a way of laying the pavement
without changing the grade en tlie cast
side. The plan he proposed would make a
very shallow gutter.
Mr. Haines made a long speech in which
he referred te property owner en tlie west
sideofthe street making their pavements
of whatever grade they pleated j which in
his Judgment was the cause ei'the Irregular
grade en that street. He said he was op ep op
iiesed te taking ene penny from the city
treasury te piy the oxpense of relaying the
pavements of these people.
Mr. Klddle denied that the grade en the
ti'dul uliln of Tftrtli I1iil?f sfrenf hurl linen
changed by the property owners. He said
the ditterence in grade wasiiuoie u neiug
given at ci liferent times by different regu
lators. He said he had no interest In the
proposed paving ; all he wanted was a geed
niece of work, and if this branch does net
want te raise the grade as recommended
by a unanimous vete of the committee,
then let It Instruct Engineer Herr te give
the contractors a grade te go en. The weik
lias been contracted for and must be done.
At this stage of the argument Mr. Wise
rained the point of order that the stakers
were out of order, as tliere was nothing bo
lero tlie chamber. He moved te adjourn.
The motion was lest.
Mr. Klddle then moved the adoption of
Hit resolution, raising tlie grade en the
cast side of tlie street, and Messrs. Kiddle
and Haines, repeated their speeches.
Before any action was taken, it was

HARLEM DEMOCRATIC CLUB.
The Principles of the Democratic Parly
as Applied te thn ItlliR Itilln
and Centralization.
Hen. Clmnncey F. Muck, president of
the national association of Democratic
clubs, addressed the Harlem Democratic
club en Wednesday night en "The History,
Principles and Organization of the Demo
cratic Party." It was the first of a series
of lectures te be given this winter.
Gov. lllack said that he foresaw a struc-
gle for the secrecy of the ballet, for the rea
son that there Is an undemocratic; move
ment new abroad te Interfere with the
secret ballet. First, tlev. lllack spoke of
the time-honored birth of thn Democratic
party. "It is founded en the axiomatic
principles of political science. It adepts
the doctrines of Jelforseu, that it Is a wise
nnd frugal government that shall restrain
men from Injuring ene another, which
shall lcave them otherwiso free te regulate
their own pursuits of Industry and im
provement, and which shall net take from
the mouth of lalKir the bread it earns. Se
long as an eneuiy of home ruin and Kepub
lican princlple rcinaln't, se long (lie Demo
cratic party must stand eternal guard. Ne
ether party ha survived the century of Its
birth.
"Here Is the Kepubllcan parly, the Fed
eralist party of te-day, the lineal descend
ant of the monecrats who were vanquished
by Themas Jofiersen. It Is but natural
that they should be tlie friends of subsidies
and tarui's, drawing a thousand millions of
the surplus every year.
" l'hey tend te centralization. They attack
the federal charter, and subvert it ler their
own purpose. It must seek its support In
tlie monopolies and rings wJilch secure for
themselves the proceeds of taxes-- drawn
from the whele people. They are the le
gitimate successors of Hamilton, who
openly defended the English system with
no faith In the intelligence nt tlie people.
He began te subvert thn constitution of thn
United States thn moment it was adopted.
His plan was first te misconstrue tlie con
stitution. He held that men worn unfit te
govern themselves. He sought te make
thn federal government ns much u tyranny
as he could. I
" Usurpation, whotlier by ene man or a
majority, Is equally uuJustifiaVile and
calamitous te the mass of the governed. It
is none thn less dangerous when It claims
te come from public necessity, w lien it !h
really party necessity. Paternalism comes
always In the gulse of high motive and of
public interest. It is really an attack en
the principles of Democracy. The simple
hnnrfriil iimuu wlin fnvnr n imlnrnnl trevem.
incut mean well. It Is only ene step
further for these paternal government men
te supply government school books and
soething'syrup or a government panicca
for the measles prepared by seme protected
favorite, se that streams of subsidy shall
flew out and the bread back of industry
shall break under accumulated burdens.
This is net the outcemo designed, but It Is
the Inevitable result.
"Hamilton and his friends accepted thn
constitution of 17S7 iu preference te the old
confederation, because they saw iu tlie
prevision for 'tlie general welfaie' a
premise of Interference in the most mintite
domestic alfalrs of tlie people. Hamilt m's
spoils system obtained n four year,' tri
umph, but the alien and sedition laws
opened the eyes of thn people, and the as
saults uH)ii liberty of the person, and of
the press seen led te a revolt and a lobtike
anil tlie triumph of the principles of i'lienus
Jelfersen."
Oev. lllack traced thn pregicss of Ham
ilton's ideas of subsidies, and tyranny as
they appear from tlme te time In ether
parties, partlculaily iu the Kepnblic.in
party, and pictuied the piogressotjobbory
and plunder under feims of law as prac
tised by the Kcpubllian parly lu the inter
est of monopolies nnd rings, nml new, a
quaiter of a century after the war has
closed, demands the continuance of war
taxes.
"The party wns a minority iu the begin
ning," he continued, "mid is in a iiilueiity
still. It has never had the unbeiiglit
sulVrages of the majority of the American
people. It had a majority of a hundred
thousand against it n't tlie last presidential
electlen.securlnga majority of the electoral
college by votes purchased in blocks of live
in close states. Is this Kepubllcaiiism 1 or
is it the shadow or the empire'.' Is this tlie
republic of Washington and Jeirerseu, or
rather is it net an empire, net with lawful
princes like tliose of Heme, hut lather
thn upstait kings of se-called busi
ness in parly association with thn
government, nt onee the electors
and beneficiaries? What Is the fact?
All that is left of local llbeity, of per
sonal liberty, of state rights, of home rule,
of freedom In trade, of purity In elections,
is dun te the conservative ell'nrts of tlie
Democratic party te defend tlie constitu
tion of 17S7 against tlie assaults of covert
enemies of the nation new united under
tlie name of the Kepubllcan party, loudly
clamoring for the public geed, bill all the
time working for private gain and in
creasing tlie burdens of the many for
the benefit of tlie few. The majority of thn
pcoplearn against it te-day, but it has
becoine se iiitcie&tcd by unjust lawsaud
by the usurpations of power, and llinde llinde
hberate plot te place tlieSenate as an ob
struction te refeim that it is new morn ap
parent than ever that Samuel J.Tilden was
right when lie said it would require a ma ma
jeilty of at least two-thirds of all tlie
sepln todlsledgo tlie usurpers from their
loriuldable inticmiiuieiils.''

vocacy of the system of Democratic socie
ties. Twe states Nominate.

On Wednesday afternoon a serious acci

mill en Pine street, between Chestnut nnd
Orange, lu which ene man was badly hurt.
lu thn southern end of the building is an
elevator, used for heisting goods, which
runs fiem thn basement te the top of thn
mill. About .1 n'c'.nck in the afternoon
Geerge Wlnevver, who lives at tlie mill,
and Oeorge II. Keller, the bookkeeper,
were en the top fleer and desired te go
flown en the elevator, which hnil been run
up somewhat higher than usual and
scorned te I in fast. The men get en
it and tried te start It, but were
unsuccessful. Theu both jumped up
ami came down upon the platform
together. Suddenly the elevator started
and went through te the basement, a dis
tance of ever thirty feel, with a rush,
striking witli tremendous force upon the
basement lloer. Tlie empleyes of the mill
seen learned w hat was wrong nnd ran te
the basement, lleth men were believed te
be badly injured, and they were quickly
picked up. Keller was taken te Ills
home en West Chestnut sheet net
far rieni the mill. Dr. M. : Herr
was sent for, and upon making nn exam
ination of him he found that his right leg
had been broken at tlie ankle se badly that

shaken up and somewhat bruised his Ill
Juries nre net serious.
The elevator, which is almost new, has
net been in usn nt the mill for a long time.
It was rigged te catch wiien II once started

lu New Yerk Next Wisik.
The Episcopal general convention will be
held In St. Geerge's church. New Yerk,

sessions will probably' continue for a
month.
The gennral convention is a triennial

houses, tlie house of bishop", whesa
sossleus me secret, and thn house of
clerical ami lay deputies, consisting of four
clnriryiuen iiuil four laymen from every
dlecesn iu the United States. As tliere nre
new fill regularly organized illticeses, the
lower house In thn coming convention will
number 400 uiombers.
The first important muter te be discussed
is thn revision of the prayer book. A
liturgical commlttee recommended six
years age a large uumlier of changes, noun
of v hlch, affected any vital doctrine. Ne
measures of this character can liecome law
until they me favorably considered by two
consecutlveconventlons,anil se tlie changes
came up for final discussion nt the Chicago
convention three years age. A number of
alterations nml amendments were then
adopted, and tbe whole subject for further
revision wns entrusted te a committee of
12, te repot t at this convention.
The proposed revision of hymnal will
he discussed. Hut the question which is
expected te arouse the most Inteuse Inter Inter Intor
est will be that of changing the name of
the church. This question has been pressed
with great pertinacity for a number of
years by thu extreme wing of llin High
Church party ; and at the last general con
vention the leselutinn te change the name
ilid net lack many votes of passing the
lower house. The question will be Intro
duced, mill a debate is expected en thn
whole qutHlluu of CatlielIcUm nnd Protes

points in law they should enter llie church
nnd remain there until service was fiver,
thus secure control ami keep their antni'o antni'e
nlsts from holding services. Saturday

that tlie sloeiM'rs were awakened. A short

the Kadlcals wero literally thrown bodily
out through the open floors. Almest nvery

mere or less and there were mere than n

whlln bruised faces nnd bodies and tern
