sketch or uis CAnKF.n.
Clement B. Grnbb was born at Mt, Hepe,
Lancaster county, February 11, IBIS, and
his ancestors were or Welsh extraction.
His father was a well known and wealthy
Iren, manufacturer of New Hepe and he
died when his son was but seven years old.
His mother, who was a daughter of Daniel
Buckley, a prominent farmer, carried en
the iron business successfully after the
death of nor husband. Clement was given
every educational advantage and his early
studies were conducted in the schools of
long Island and Flushing, New Yerk.
He afterwards attended high schools and
private academics in Philadelphia. When
'seventeen years of age he became his
mother's bookkeeper und retained tliut
position until he became of age.
He and his brother, Edward, then
assumed control of the ancestral estate, and
carried en business under the firm name
of K, & C. B. drubb. They rebullt the old
furnaces and erected new works, and they
seen took pinto among the heaviest Iren
manufacturers In Pennsylvania. The
efforts of the young tlnn wero attended
with the greatest success, owing te their
Intelligent management, their line product
and new appliances. They seen established
the reputation of making the best charcoal
iron in the state, in 1831 the partnership
was dissolved, and two years later the
subject of this sketch built the well known
St. Charles anthracite furnace along the
Susquehanna river, just above Columbia.
He then also hed an interest In the Pert
Deposit furnace. He afterwards disposed of
his interest In several furnaces te bis
brother, A. BatesGrubb,whe died some yeai s
age. lie also made ssild of all the original
works, with the exception of " The
Coderus," which he owned at the tlme of
his tleath, with many thousand acres of
tlniber land.
In 187U Mr. Orubb associated his only
son, Charks II., in partnership with him
self under the tlnn name of (' B. drubb A
Sen, and they operated betli the St. Charles
and llanry Clay furnaces at Columbia,
doing an cxtonsive business, which, under
the able management of Messrs. Jeseph
and 12. B. Eckman, has benu highly profit
able. One of the chief elements of Mr. Grubb's
eminent success in his business life, how
ever, was his extenslve and valuable inter
est In the world-famous iron-ero initie nt
Cornwall, Lebanon county. It will be
remembered that these new vast mid valu
able CBtates, from which the fortunes of se
many millionaires have been, in the main,
realized, were acquired originally, for a
inere song, by old Peter Orubb, between
1737 and 1745. His sons, Curtis and Peter,
inherited that great treasure, and it was
net until 1780 that the Celeman name ap
pears in the muniments of the Cornwall
title.
By various conveyances, before the eon een
tnry closed the Celeman line had acquired
ilve-sixths of the whole estate; the remain
ing sixteen ninety-sixths stayed with the
Grubbsund the deceased, subject of this
sketch, held half of them or one-twelfth of
the whole, ills brother, Kdward J!., who
owned the ether interest, was the father of
the renowned K. Kurd Orubb, late captain
of the City Troop, of Philadelphia, and
new leading a forlorn hepe as Republican
cundidate ler governor in New Jersey.
Meantime, however, te Mt. Hepe fur
nace had attached the right of taking from
Cornwall, out of the one-slxth Grtihb in
terest enough ero te supply a charcoal
furiiace there, of whatever sire. Accord
ingly te extinguish this ex pensive fran
chise, when the late A. Bates Grubb died,
C. B. Grubb bought Mt. Hepo for $.'100,030
and demolished the furnace. Under the
tasteful and energetic direction of his
youngest daughter, Miss Daisy, the old
est at e has been beautlttcd and Improved
until it stands peerless amid its sin round
lugs as a magnificent family estate
In his unions business enterprises find
liv reason of his ownership at Cornwall,
Mr. Grubb accumulated n very large estute
w hich is variously estimated in value nt
from ene te three million dollars. About
forty years age he established his stately
hemic in this city, at tire-corner of Li me and
East Chestnut streets, ene of the most ox ex ox
tenslve and beautiful estates In Lancaster.
He also had a city residence en Walnut
street, Philadelphia, and In both cities the
Grubb family entertained most hospitably
and were widely known in social circles.
Mr. Grubb was for many years president
of the First National bank of this city, suc
ceeding Jehn Geiger as such in 1870, and
only retired from that position seme years
age when failing health retulored such a
course advisable.
Deceased was married February 27th,
1811, te a daughter of the late Mr. Charles
Breeke, a well known iron manufacturer
of Chester county. His wife survives him
and their children ure Mrs. Stephen B.
Irwin, of Mt. Hepe; Mrs. J. B. Bell, of Al
bany, N. Y.; Mrs. L. Hebnr Smith, of
Jeanna,, Mr. Charles B. and Miss Dilsy.
Mr. Grubb was a gentleman of Intelli
gence, of line social accomplishments and
of great business tact and foresight. He
was of quiet, unobtrusive manner and
undemonstrative temperament t but In the
circle of his friends he was highly popular
and no less estecmed for Ills social graces
than for his business qualities. He wits
long time a member and generous patron
of St. James P, 11 parish and adorned his
character by u Christian walk and conver
sation. Yoganville liens.

The Frnnklln and Marshall Feet Hull
Team Benten by Dickinsen.
Franklin k Marshall played her fourth
feet ball game at Carlisle yesterdny, and
suffered her first defeat from the Dickin Dickin
eon boys. However, she has reasen
te be proud of her team, for they
had numerous difficulties te contend
with. The ground was very uneven
and scarcely had the game begun when
II. H. Apple sprained his knee and had te
give way toStenebrakor, and seen after
Griffith was disabled und gave way te
Rupluy. This left the greater part of the
game te be played without two of the
regular players in two vgry Important
positions, whlle all wero mero or less
weakened from the effects of Saturday's
game with Bncknell. The greatest trial
Lancaster'H representatives had te contend
with was the tact tliut the umpire was Just
making his debut In that capacity and his
mind was semewhat unsettled en a num
ber of points.
The game was an exceedingly Interesting
ene, seme very brilliant plays being made.
On the part of Franklin and Marshall the
greatest feature was her heavy rush line
work, whlle Dickinsen wen by excellent
running and clever dodging.
Play was opened at 2:3.'i, Franklin and
Marshall having the bull and gaining ten
yards en the first rush. They continued
te work the ball slowly up the field till it
was lest en a peer pass. Dickinsen thou
by seme line running and dodging carried
the ball back Inte F. it M's Held, and seen
Stephens sailed across the line and made
the first touch-Jewii in 20miuutes. 'They
falled te kick n goal and nothing further
was scored during the first half. Play
ended with the ball In the middle of the
field.
Dickinsen started with the ball in the
second Inning, and niter three brilliant
runs Stephens scored a second touch down
for Dickinsen, from which u goal wns
kicked. Frem that tlme en the ball moved

At the opera house last evening thore
was only a fair sled uudieuce te w it
ness the performance given by the
company ofathletos, headed by the veteran
William McLean, of Philadelphia. Thoe
who admire that class of shows and did
net attend are losers, for the entertainment
from beginning te end was llrst class in
every resjiect. The audience wns composed
entirely or men, and in It were quitea
number of old sports who enjoyed the
dill'erent events.
Fred IClmcr, a clever triple bar perfor
mer, opened the she v, after which the acts
followed each ether with great rapidity
until overy momber of the large company
was seen in something. Deugherty unit
Mullen gave feats of high kicking, and the
latter, who has tow supeiiurs, gave a
laaiple of back Jumping, ever chairs, eVe.
Jack Lynch and Martin Neary, feather
weights, made a very geed contest with the
gloves, and Snthuiun and Lulnhetf followed
lifting dumb bells, weighing from 70 te 2 h)
pounds. Setsmun, who isqiiite veuug, and a
beautiful specimen of manhood, also brnke
stones with his list and bent iron burs
across his anus. Jack Hart, of New Yerk,
and Prof. Coeiier wrestled calch-as-catcl.-can
style, and the former wen two falls
of three. Pief. Austin and Mens. De Sa Sa
villegave an exciting assault at arms with
foils und sinule sticks. The funniest act of
the evening was given by "Fatty" Lang
try, a well known rounder of the Quaker
illy, nnu jseii caurey, wne spurn it
until Cutfrey, who leeks ilke a ruin
barrel, could no longer get his wind.
Setmaii nnd William Gnliig indulged
in three rounds of G ve Heman
wrestling nnd the former wen two falls if
three. Lynch and Deugherty sjurrcil
three geed rounds and the show was ele-ed
bv Prof. McLean and Prof, l'errins, of the
.Manhattan club, .Vew Yerk. They gave
an exhibition of scientific sparring and
Prof. "Hilly" fully sustained his leputatien
of being one of the cleverest in his line, if
net the best sparrer before the public.

PHIL1BELPHI1 PUGILISTS IK THE UNO NEAR
THIS ClTY'liST SIGHT.
They Pummel Each Other Fer Twe
lIeiirs-vThe Prlnelpals Members of
the Troupe of PreC McLean.
The show last night was a geed ene, but
no one thought for a moment that It
would be followed by a regular old
fashioned prlte fight; but It was, Just
the same. The fight was arranged after
the show and It came eir se quietly that
butfew people knew anything about It,
and these who did tried in every way te
keep it from the public and especially the
newspopera. In this they were net suc
cessful. The contestants were Jack Lynch and
Martin Neury.a game pair of feather weight
pugilists, who camohere with the McLean
combination. The men are almost the
aame weight but Lynch Is the lighter.
'In the afternoon they were in. the'
room of the Lancaster Athletic: club,
whero they gave a rather spirited
contest with big gloves, much te the
amusement of the spectators, including the
Philadelphia dolegatlen. In the oventng
they met again nt the entertain ment. Their
turn was the second en the prograinmeand
they gave three rattling rounds with the
same kind of gloves that they had used in
the afternoon. It was noticed that the men
were a little het at each ethor and at
times .they hit hard. Theto two sot-iej
mode bad bleed between the men, and
after the show they met at a rather late
hour. They had been drinking, and it was
net long until they agreed te have a
fight with bare fists te a finish,
te decide which was the hotter
man. In this they wero encouraged by
their Philadelphia friends and a number of
Lancaster 8erts, who wanted te see some
fun, and the fight was made te be
fought at ence. Some say that the
mill was for $00 a slde, whlle othersdoclaro
that It was merely the rosultef the quarrel,
as the men wero anxious te see who
would whip.
Between ene and two o'clock this morn
ing the principals accompanied by about
two dozen friends left the city In cubs
driving out West ant thence out Maner
street and thoMillersvllIe turnplke.
They went out beyond the first tell-gato
and en the Llntncr farm the ring was
made, from ropes and sticks that had been
brought along.
A half dozen or mero large torches fur
nished the light. The men wero seen
stripped te the waist, nnd they lest no tlme
In getting te work after u Philadelphia
man had been choseu reforeo.
It was about two o'clock when the fight
ing began und it continued without Inter
ruption for l'fty-eight rounds and until
almost four o'clock, when it was declared
a draw, becnuse tlie'men desired te take
the next twin te Philadelphia for fear that
they would be arrested.
Beth men were knocked down n num
ber or tlines and each was pretty badly
used up being covered with bleed. The
fight would have lasted much longer
had it net been for the anxiety te get te
Philadelphia. The result was net satisfucj
tery te either man or their backers and It
is llkely that another meeting will be made.
After the fight the pugilists wero taken
care of by their friends, who placed them
in cabs and brought thorn te town. The
Philadelphia pcople took the train leaving
here between 4 and 5 o'clock. The Lancaster,
meu who attended the fight are d read fully
scared about it. They were almost sworn
te secrecy In regard te thentlalr but it all
leaked nut. Soveral who wero at the light
cannot be found at all te-day.
INTIMIDATION OF DKMOCRATJ.
United .States Marsliuls Arresting Idea
tion Judtres In Virginia.
Great Indignation is roll in Danville, Vn..
ever the ntlcnsive ectlvity of United
States marshals in that section of the state.
Several days age three judges of election,
arrested in Charlette county, were taken
before a United Stntes commissioner and
sent en te the grand Jury. A deputy marshal
from Danville went through Halifax county
lust week trying, It is beheved, te trump up
charges against election Judges in that
county. The same marshal went en Tues
day te the county scat of Pittsylvania
and get the names of election Judges at tw e
i reel nets In that county, and Wednesday,
'. W. Mills, United Suites marshal from
Roanoke, went te Peytonsburg, In Pittsyl
vania county, with a warrant for the arrest
of a. W. Thompson, .T. II. Henry and C.
W. llenry, charged witli Intimidating a
United States sujiorviser last fall.
All the persons arrested, or threatened
w Ith nrrest.nre Demecrats, and the ellcnscs
with which they ere charged were com
mitted, lf committed at all, twclve months
age at the presidential election. Of course
United States marshals have no Jurisdic
tion In the coming state election, but many
country pcople de net se understand it,
and Imagine that they will be arrested
and hauled up befere the federal author
ities lf they take tin acttve part in
next Tuesday's state election. The efted
is te iutiiiildute Dcmeciuts in the country
districts, many of whom stand in great fear
of the federal courts. An lullueiitial and
sensible Democrat from the country camu
te Danville und was much troubled because
threatened with nrrest. He was much
relieved when he learned that the federal
authorities had nothing te de with state
elections.
Democrats of Dnnviile urge friends lu
the country te stand firm, and steps have
been taken te secure uble counsel te defend,
free of charge, all Demecrats arrested.
1 have net seen people se Indignant for u
long time, and if arrests continue there Is
no telling what hetheaded young
Virginians may be tempted te de. The
ctfect of these thlntrs is te drive white men
together, and less than a dozen w hlte men
in Danville will vote for Mahone. The

KING AND I'OPK AT LAW.
The Case or the King or Belgium nnd
the Pepe la ft United 8Utea Court.
Thore is at present pending In the United
States circuit court or New Yerk a suit
against ex-Sheriff Peter Bon-e, tlie last ac
tion te date in a ceurse of litigation of great
interest. It is brought by Johnes & Will Will
cex, attorneys, for Loen Bernard, n fugitive
from Belgian Justice, and at present pro pre pro
fesser of language" In a prominent Catholle
educational Tnstltntlen in England, for the
recovery of seme fOOO.OUO, which, It la al
leged, ww wrongfully ld ov'er byex
Sherilf fiowe le the Belgian chief of police.
Previous te 1870, Kdmeut Jeseph Dutuent
was bishop of Teumal, in Belglum, The
diocese was net supposed te be wealthy, for
the Belgian law proulblled the possession
or large funds by such Institutions and
provided for their escheat te the crown
when discovered. But Bishop Dumont
was actually la possesslon, surreptitiously
en account of the law, of money, govern
ment bends, and oilier gllt-cdged securities
of the value or clese upon 51,000,000. This he
held as nn Episcopal fund, the properly of
the diocese, but without record and subject
only te the superior control of the pope.
Iu December, 1870, Bishop Dumont re
ceived notlce from Reme of his ronteval
from the episcepal ofllce and or ,the ap
pointment or Isidore Jeseph Duroussenu In
his place He resisted the pepe's orders
and is suptiesed te have appealed te Iaio Iaie Iaio
peld IL, King of tlie Belgians, for protec
tion and te have disclosed the possession
of tlie great wealth. Whlle absent from
tlie Episcopal palace en the night of Dec,
28, 1870. the palace was forcibly entered by
the prelates and emissaries of Durousseauf
who broke Inte Burnout's nrlvate ofllce,
openod two large safes in which the money
and securities wero stored, and seized
thorn.
The story Is that the money was given le
Bernard, who was Duroussenu s prlvnte sec
retary, by direction of the pepe and he was
ordered te take it out of tie country and
keep It snfe from the solz.ure and osso esso osse
slon of the Belgian king. Bernard fled te
England thence te Quebec, w ith the Bel
gian police lu lively pursuit. Bernard
deposited $500,000 of the money in safe do de do
peslt vaults In Montreal and sent a lawyer
te Brussels te epen negotiations for his ro re
tiim with the ''plunder," but under the
understanding that the treasure was te re
main In the church. He failed of his nils den.
In Bosten he deposited about $100,000 in the
vaults of the Union Safe De posit cemrauy.
Tbence he came te New Yerk and hid uwny
Reme fOOO.000 ei the treasure iu the vaults
of three dilTereut institutions. He found
asylum in Catholic institutions throughout
the country for the next two and n half
years, whlle constantly en the meve dodg

went te Mexice, and from there te Ha
vana, whero he was kidnapped and con con
eoyed a prisoner te Belgium, where he
was put in coiiflnemont, charged Willi em

TIIK NUGItU AN'Il Till: CHURCH.
The Recter of an Arlstocrntle Colored
Kptscepul Church Expresses Ills Views.
Rev. J. II. M. Pollard, rector of St.
Mark's Episcopal church of Chmlcslen, the
only colored clergy man of that denomina
tion in Seuth Carolina, en Wednesday
fioely expressed his view h en tlie action of
tlie recent New Yerk triennial convention
iu regard te the colored question.
Mr. Pollard is facetiously called the
"bone orceutcutton." ns he Fins bceu the
ciuse of the agitation in Episcopal circles
In Virginia and Seuth Carolina, lllschurch
is an aiistecralic one, and many of its
members are wealth. He has never yet
been allowed a scat in the diocesan conven
tion, though u stormy light is ulways made
in ills behalf.
" It is almost tee seen te estimate tlie Im
portance or significance of the con volition's
actions," he said when spoken te pn the
subject, "especially ns te their action en
the status of our peeple In tlie church. I
cannot find anything objectieimblo iu the
reports of the committee adopted by the
convention, but ou the contrary we could
net have eqectcil any better treatment.
"As te the clauses which prevent the gen
eral convention from interfering in the
work of the dioceses, I think the conven
tion's action w as the only course that could
have been taken. I certainly de net icgard
it us a victory for oureppineuts.
" I notlce comments en the fact that ethers
than Southerners championed the cause of
the Seuth Carolina and Virginia synod. 1
de net think this has any significance, and,
moreover, 1 have ulwuys recognized the
fact that nil Southerners "are net our ene
mies nor nre all Northerners our liiends.
The light new staudsjust whero it did be
fore the convention met.
"The white churchmen of Seuth Caro
lina," he coutluued "fear nu Invisible
shadow. They Imagine that If alt barriers
should be broken down and all distinctions
removed colored pcople would crowd them
out or te the wall. '1 hey .cannot truttthelr
own sujicrlerlty.
"Thore Is tee much sentiment lu tlie
church, both North and Seuth, und no
great work can be ilnue until Christianity
shall be substituted for tlie present scull
incut. The unity of tlie church Is neither
in the general nor iu the diocesan convent,
but in the episcopate. These bodies could
be dissolved, but the church would still
continue tlie work of saving the Seuth."
llenry Mussel' Funeral.
Tlie funeral of the late Henry Musscr,
which took place from his hoiueatStoiier's,

HALLOWE'EN'.
Some or the Customs Which Character Character
Ise tin Observance.
Following the example set by their pre
decessors ter many generations, children
w,".,.te"!,,Shl ourve Hallewe'en, or All
Hallow's Eve a tlme for making merry
and a night when, according te ancient
traditions, supernatural Influences are sup
posed te prevail. When, where and hew
the custom or observing the last night lu
October as Hallewe'en originated, are
quostlens which appear te be wrapped In
an Impenetrable mist. It Is net thought te
have any connection With the festival of
All Saints, which occurs en the day follow
ing, and yet its observance, particularly by
the young, in almost universal. In some
Instances eldor people boceino aid en and
abetters or boys and girls In carrying out
the peculiar practices which characterize
the celebration, but the superstitious feat
ures which in olden times attached te It
have, te a great extent, passed Inte ob
scurity. Hallewe'en Is known under soveral
names. In the north of England It has for
a long tlme been called "Nutcrack Night,"
because nuts are net only ersckedand
eaten, but made the means or prediction In
love affairs. In this country, however, the
old customs have been semewhat Improved
and modernized, but the spirit or the
observance remains unaltered and will
probably se contlnue for generations te
come. People, as a rule, no longer bellove
In the power or calling spirits "from the
vasty deep," but what they have lest in
faith they sometltnos make uplii practlce
by Imitating supposed dlsembodied spirits.
Practical Jokes, hewever, are frequently
accompanied by direful results, and, ir the
observance of Hallowa'eu la te be perpet
uated, It should be as a rational means of
oideyinont.
In koeping Hallewe'en te-night thore
will be a large consumption of apples,
shellbarks, walnuts and chestnuts. ethor
accessories which conie Inte plav" nre salt,
water, tubs and atrlngs, and this simple
paraphernalia, when properly used, Is
warranted te produce slde-splUtlna laugh
ter. One or the customs which has comedown
the ages, and which nover falls te produce
a wave of merriment, consists In "ducking
for apples." A rosy pippin Is placed Inn
tub or ethor vessel filled with water, and
children take turns In "ducking" for it
with thelr mouths. Sometltnos a mere
venturesome boy or girl will force the
apple suddenly te the bottom or the vessel,
andtheu quickly burying thelr Incisors
Inte the fruit carry It oft triumphantly
whlle the room rings with shouts of laugh
ter. Anether custom consists In suspending
an apple by means era string from a cell
ing, and catching It with the teeth, the
hands being tied behind the back. The
larger the Hpple the greater the difficulty
of catching It, and the amusement afforded
Is In proportion. A portion iimkes n lunge
with his open mouth for the apple only te
give the latter a swinging motion. The
chances are that It will fly back and strlke
him In the race, or, perhaps, bump uncom
fortably against his teeth and thus glve an
opitertunlty for the skill or a surgeon
dentlst. Sometimes the apple will roil all
around the face In the vain oftert of the
contestant te catch It, whlle the loekorson
will be cenvulsed with luughter, some
even shedding Involuntary tears or mirth.
Of ceurse, a roverso rule also holds geed;
the blgger tlie mouth and the smaller the
apple the greater the chance of catching It.
A common Hallowe'on custom In this elty
is for a young woman te run around a
block or a building with two hands full of
salt and a mouth full of water. If she
makes the Journey still holding the suit
nnd water, nnd hears n ninn's nnme pro
nounced, she. Is Hlinnosed te' Imllnvn It n
that of her future husband. A inlschloveils
yeutii, nowever, enn upset all her calcula
tions by running along and pioyeklng her
te laughter.
Still another custom consists In carefully
paring an apple nnd taking the long peel
ing and twirling It three tlines h round the
heud, when It is allowed te fall. If, after
It has fallen, it assumes the shape of a
letter, thou the letter denotes the Initial of
the geutlemun te whom the lady is te be
wedded. Imagination gees n great way In
forming u letter nut of the shape assumed
by the apple peeling.
Then, tee, chestnuts play nu Imtiertant
part lu divining the futurity or young peo
ple. The chestnuts are placed en a steve
or range, oiid.nccerdlngnstheyjiimp, they
mean one thing or another. In fact, there
is no end te the ways In which young poo peo poe
plo observo Hallowe'on, and, as most of the
sports are held In-deer, they atlbrd tlie
means or driving away dull care, and of
Hiibstltutlng,fer an hour or two, a season of
merriment.
