Ah Understanding Thai He Heats Frem
the Beard of Inspector te Avoid
Prosecution Facta of the Case.
On Monday complaint h mad before
Alderman Dean against Jacob W. Nissley,
of East Denegal township, one of the prison
Inspectors. Tke charge against him ta ter
violating tbe following aectlen of the Uw
governing the Lancaster county prison :
Ne Inkpecter, keeper, or ether person
employed or appointed te execute any
duty, trust or employment la and about
the said prlann ahall, without the permis
sion from the beard of Inspectors, sell any
article of any kind te a prisoner, or' te or
for the prison aforesaid, or te be directly or
indirectly In any way concerned In any
contract connected with sueh sale, or derive
any emolument or advantage from auch
ale or contract; nor shall either or
any of them extend te any person confined
in said prison any favor, lenity or mltlga mltlga
tlea of punishment, or Inflict any punish
ment net autherised by law or the rules
that shall be adopted by the inspectors in
accordance with law; nor ahall they re
celve under any pretense whatever, from
any person confined In said prison, or
from any one else In his behalf, any money,
reward, gratuity or gift whatever;
and any violation ' of this law,
or any subsequent act relative te
said prison, shall be considered and ad
judged a misdemeanor, and en conviction
for any such offense, before the court of
quarter sessions of the peace of said county,
the person se convicted shall be.- punished
byta fine of net less than t30,fn0r mera
than 9300, and be Imprisoned for any term
net less than one nor mere than twelve
months, and shall be' Immediately re
moved from such office or appointment.
The allegation is that Mr. Nlssley,ln vio
lation of the above law, sold vinegar te the
prison. His bill for the same was approved
at the November meeting of the inspectors
and voucher Ne. 340, for 914.95 was drawn
in favor of Mr. Nissley, he received the
check of the treasurer of the prison beard
for that amount and drew the money.
The bill in favor of Mr. Nissley was made
out by the clerk of the prison at his dicta
tion. Nissley was one of the heuse com
mittee and he had authority te buy sup
plies from outsiders, but "under the above
law could net furnish nny supplies, except
with the consent of the inspectors.
A day or two before Nissley sent the
vinegar te the prison he was at the prison
and inquired of tbe underkoeper whether
any vinegar was needed.
I The underkeeper said sorne was needed
and Nissley then said he would send some,
thst he had three barrels but would only
send two, and he did send two.
Messrs. IUIr, Carter, Eby and Eshleman,
four of the inspectors, say that Mr. Nissley
never asked their permission te soil the
vinegar te the prison.
Constable Yetsley was gl von the warrant
for Nlssley's arrest and he was at the
prison nil of Monday, nailing ardors te
execute the writ. He did net receive
directions te arrest Nissley and left the
prison without making the arrest.
Late en Monday the prosecution was
withdrawn, the condition being that Mr.
Nissley shall resign as an inspector, lie
has,net done se yet, and the probability Is
' that the suit will be renewed. The prose preso prese
cut Ien against Mr Nissley has created quite
a sensation among tbe politicians, and
some of his friends say that If tbe suit
against him is pressed there will be suits
entered against ethers connected with tbe
prison management for violations of law.
1 UOOrLKS' BABY.'
Mlsa Kate Claxton Plays the IMece te a,
Small Audience.
Last evening Kate Claxton appeared In
Fulton opera beuse te the smallest audi audi audi
enoe that has ever groeted her In Lancaster.
Iu years gene by she was1 a great fayorlte
here in the " Twe Orphans" and tlme after
time she has drawn crowded houses. Last
night Bhe did net have much evor half a
beuse, te see her In "Beoties' Baby." One
reason for this probably was that the play
is new and little Is known of it
here. The plot of the piece Is this:
A baby Is born te a girl, whose husband
is in an English regiment, refuses, for no
geed reason, te acknowledge her publicly
as his wife. The mother, being peer, takes
the child te the barracks of the regiment
and leaves It te its father's care. It se
happens that the waif is laid upon the bed
of Captain Algernon Ferrers, known
among his comrades as Beoties. This
gentleman is humorously charged by his
lellettswlth being the father of the baby.
He accents the situation and adepts
the child of the girl he had
vainly tried te win years before.
Tbe bad husband is dually killed and
Beoties w ins the hand of tbe baby'smether.
The comedy portrays the tenderest affec
tion betw eon the child and Beoties.
Miss Claxton plays the part of Helen
Urate, the heroiue and mother of the baby,
In her usual Intelligent manner, and she
baa the sympathy of the audience at all
times in her distress. Charles A. Steven
son, who is Miss Claxton's husband,
and has been ene of her company for years,
assumes the character of Beoties in a mas
terly wav. The nart of Mianen. the baby.
when but two j e rs old, Is played by Little
Annette Leland; while Gertie Heman, a
.remarkably talented little girl, has the char
acter when the baby becomes seven years
of age. Other people, including C. W. Gor Ger Gor
therne, as Ctaj't. Luey, Kennett Lee, as Dr.
JUantyre, Ac., were very geed.

A Historical Review or the Influenza.
A special dispatch front Berlin says:
Professer Hlrsch gives an historical review
of Influenza, in which he writes: "The
statements about the appearance of influ
enza can be traced far back te the middle
ages. As far as can be ascertained, the first
reliable report of the Illness dates from the
year 1173, when It prevailed In Germany,
England and Italy. Then fellow reports or
in fluents epidemics in the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries.
"In the sixteenth four years are named
1540. 1557, 1580 and lSlW in which It
spread widely evor Europe. Frem this
tune the number of reports Increase in
proportion te the interest which doctors
took In observing epldemlcs, and te the
Increase of the medical papers which took
the opportunity of publishing accounts of
the disease.
"Thus I found that In the eighteenth
century no less than tlfty-five influenza
epidemics were mentioned, when they
spread ever the eastern, the western the
northern and southern hemispheres,
assuming sometimes smaller, sometimes
Sreater dimensions, while from 1800 te 1875
tare are only 18 years In which influenza
did net prevail in ene or the ether parts or
the world. Influenza nover appears In
single instances. Seme which were re
ported as such were serious cases of catarrh
or the respiratory organs.
"Influenza always appears as an op! ep!
demlc. and as such It prevailed in the years
1781-82 en tbe eastern hemisphere, from
China te Spain, in 1789-W) en the whole
western hemisphere, and in 1807 and 1815
16 in North America. In 1830-32 It spread
ever nearly the whole race of the earth, In
1833 ever Asia Miner, North Africa and
Europe, and in 1830-37 again ever a large
part of the eastern hemisphere. In 1855 it
prevailed In numerous spots In Europe.
The last Influenza epidemic dates, as far as
can be seen from tbe reports, from tbe
years 1874-76.
" This peculiarity of appearlngas a uni
versal illness It shares only with the
cholera, but it differs from the latter In
this, that tbe cholera has left the great por
tions of the earth untouched, aud its spread
from bind te land can be traced from Its
Indian home by the communication or
persons or things. But Influenza seems te
nave spared no portion or tbe earth, and its
spread is quite independent or all commu
nication." i -
Anether Death Frem La Grlppe.
The second death fiem the prevailing
epidemic occurred en Monday night. The
victim was Samuel Binkley, farmer or
Raphe township. He was about as usual

THE CHILD LABOR LAW.
Inspector Martin Arranging te Enforce
It-HIa Observations la the East.
Factory Inspector William U. Martin,
of Chester, Is taking active steps te carry
out the law passed by the last Legislature
forbidding the employment of children
under 12 years of age "In any factory,
manufacturing or mercantile establishment
within this state," te ase ths language of
the law, and providing for the greater pro
tection of minera and woman In all sees,
pleeea. The law, which la already In
opsrsUea, altheagh net enforced, la mere
cemprahaaslva than has been generally
ODfJUS-M.
. It applies net only te factories but also te
large stores, where great numbers of small
cash boys and girls are employed ; te the
coalmines, where thousands or young boys
find work as shUe-pIekers In the breakers;
and, In fact, te every establishment employ
lug ever tea women or children. News
boys and boetblecker are about the only
youthful tellers who de net come within
Its previsions. Net only does it forbid
absolutely the employment of children leas
than 12 years old but It provides thst no
child under 10 shall be employed until an
affidavit, made by its parent, guardian, or
itseir ir net blessed with sueh protectors,
has been placed en file giving Its age, data
and place or birth and residence. Ne
miner is te be worked ever sixty hours a
week, except for making necessary repairs.
Other previsions relate te the sanitary
arrangements of establishments and the
use of all necessary precautions against Are
and dangers from machinery. " Net less
than 45 minutes," says the law, "shall be
allewed for the neon-day meal," except
where a permit allowing a shorter time has
been Issued by the factory Inspector or ene
or his deputies.
Inspector Martin has been studying the
sublect and recently visited cities In New
Yerk and Massachusetts te bee hew similar
laws have worked there.
"In Massachusetts I visited Bosten,
Lawrence, Lewell, Fall RIveiVLyun aud
ether cities, and found that the law w erked
extremely well. It Is, perhaps, a little
mere strict than our law and forbids the
employment of children under 14. There
are twenty Inspectors te onferco It, The
effect or It in keeping children out of the
mills wss very noticeable. In the big
Pacific mill, at Lawrence, I saw scarcely
any empleyes who appealed te be less than
17 years old, and I remember seeing a wo
man who seemed te be 45 or 50 years old,
and yenng men and women working en
spinning frames doing the same work that
Is done in our mills by children 8 years
old and upward.
"As well as I could Judge, the elimina
tion of the young children as workers
seemed te have had a geed effect In raising
the wages of the elder empleyes. I was
told that it waa common for women
woavers te make from 98 te 910 a week.
Their work was en cotton goods. ,
"In New Yerk the lliult or age Is 13
years, and there are twelve Inspectors te
enforce the law. At Cohoes I talked with
the members of several firms, and they
all expressed themselves as satlstled with
It. Tbe superintendent or a cotton mill
there, employing 5,000 hands, told me that
when the law first went Inte effect four
years age they felt that it bere pretty hard
en them. He liked It new, howevor, and
would net go back te the 'old order or
things. The firm had found that the peer
work done by young children, and the re
sponsibility of looking for thorn, were
mere than an offset te their cheap labor.
"I don't anticipate any treuble In en
forcing the law. Before the bill was pasted
by the Legislature It was submitted te a
number of leading manufacturers, und they
said they saw nothing te object te in It.
Several replies which! have received from
manufacturers, te whom circulars word
sent, show a disposition te llve up te the
law, and I think that it will be very gene
rally complied with.
"Most of the notices which have been
sent out, informing manufacturers of thu
previsions of the law, have beeu sent te
textile establishments, for It is in them
that children are mostly employed. I have
net dnne anything yet with the mercantile
establishments or the mining companies,
but will take them up later. Most of the
work te be done lu the state will be In
Philadelphia and the counties immediately
adjoining It, where the big mills are. There
are comparatively few children employed
In the iron Industries or Pittsburg and the
western part or the state.
" Fer the purpose or our work I have
dlvlded tbe state Inte three soctieus, which
are the same as tbe military divisions.
There will be a man and a woman Inspec
tor for each division. The number is alto
gether tee small, and for the first year we
will probably bave te confine our work
chiefly te attending te complaints. I trust
that the number will be Increased by the
next Legislature, no that we can carry en
the work mere thoroughly. The law Is al
ready having a geed effect, and I bave
