Hut 1 am surprised net te say shocked te read and te hear that judicial and editorial au thorities, v, hose ears ought te be above "the assaults of the mob's clamor,'' forget what Is Involved In the discussion te which they have.been treating us. Judge Patterson is reperted te have satd te the grand Jury, who, by the way, have " nothing te de with the case," that the COUrt was criticised about the law's delay In capital cases, and therefore he felt it in cumbent en him te explain that the court had done all It could te hang Jacobs und Rudy, and the blmne for the "delay" rested with "a pared of lawyers," who periodically go up and feel the pardon beard. ji'They, prepare a let of affidavits or persons wne ire willing te swear; that the guilty subject of their kind' offices is Insane, or sheuld liave hit sentence com muted for seme ethor, roafien, and thus In duce the pardon beard te respite if net commute the sonience." The Philadelphia Time, approving Judge Pattersen's statement, says : " The governor has surrendered his high preroga tive te an irresponsible pardon beard, and the pardon beard assumes te retry every case that is pressed upon It, and often en evldonce that none would dore te present te court." , The' Lancaster iVcie Eta says : " Of course, the lawyers justify themselves that they must earn their fees by being ' true te their clients, which gonerally means te stick te them as long as the fees "held out In nine cases out 'of ten this is the only justification of the oxtraerdlnarv efforts made by ceunsel te save the necks of their clients. In the cases te which Judge Pat terson referred no one who has knowledge of tbe facts pretends that they did net huve a fair trial by the court aud an impartial Jury, and nobody ever suspected theso red-handed murderers te be of unsound mind until they had been condemned te the gallows, and no disinterested person believes it new." ' It seems te a "disinterested person" tha newspapers and low Judges who under take te correct the mistakes of lawyers and pardon beards and te set the community aright ought te havb a reasonable amount of information en what they are talking about. In the first place, a law-suit about an old iron pet in Pennsylvania can be, taken te the supreme court and the parties litigant must await the decision of that body for tbe final establishment of their rights or the redress of thelr wrongs. As the whole progress of a civil suit, evon about a trifle, seldom extends ever a less term than two years, it Is utterly unreasonable te expect an issue involving human life te be settled with greater speed. Sinee the determination of the Jacobs case by the supreme court it has been before, the beard of pardons en a point nover'ralsed, tried nor dotermlned In the courts of law; and which thore Is no competent jurisdiction te consider exflept this beard. Th.it body Is het created, as the Times says, by the gov ernor's " surrender of his high prorega-"" lives" nor Is it 'Irresponsible." On the ether hand.lt was established by the peeple of the state wheil they incorporated Inte their constitution the prevision that "no pardon shall be granted or sentence commuted oxcept upon the recorpmenda tlen In writing of the lieutenant governor, secretary of the commonwealth, atterney general and secrotaryef lutemal affairs, or any three of them, after full hearing upon due public notice and in upon session.') Thobeard.is net " irresponsible " ; and In lesral experience and Judicial ability three members of the present body compare quite favorably with the average common pleas Judge. Theso who will romember the scandalous frequency of pardons privately granted by governors under the old system, and tbe inlluences which so se cured them, will hardly want te go back te It. Ner Is testimony furnished te thobeard or a character and in a condition net lit te be offered in court. On the contrary the rules of the beard require Its taking by deposition, upon notice aud with all the limitations upon testimony, taken for argument in the courts. As te the particular Jacobs case uuder discussion, the intimation that his lawyers will light for him " se long as the money holds out " might as w oil be dlsinlssed. It Is pretty well known that the gontieinen defendlng him nover received a cent of compensation, nor evon their oxpenses, since the day of their retention. Fer them, en this account, te have deserted their client would have subjected them te the reprobation of the bar and of the com munity; and were they te relax thelr effort te prevent his execution, they would probably de a far greater wrong te tbe public than It eer suffers from the " law's tleley. " Fer It does net seem te be generally understood -neither the application of Jacobs nor that of Rudy before the pardon beard Is based en their ullegcd Insanity at the timothe deeds were committed with which they are charged. Frem the day Jacobs was sent te jail down te the present his counsel have uever had an Intelllgible or rational com crsatien with him. At all times, te them, te his children, his sisters and his mother, he has beeti the same Incoherent,- raving lunutie that he showed himself te be when en trial for his life. Bocause tbe law will net consent that a crazy man be hanged no matter what his degree of accountability when the crime was committed they have applied for a postponement of IiIh hanging. They would hae been unfeellng brutes and faithless te their profession had they dene less. The testimony taken te support the posi tion that Jacobs Is jioie crazy, comprised the ovideuco of a distinguished insanity expert summoned here by the common wealth itc!f and who made the examina tion at its instance Dr. J, .. Oerhurd, head of the Mate liisine hospital, c.iiiid down te Lancaster, made a careful Investi gation of Jacobs aud pronounced him crazy. Or. Shultz, superintendent of the state lunatle asylum at Dauvllle, without even the knowledge of Jacobs' connhel, came bore, made a thorough examination of Jacobs and pronounced him insane Dr. Klrwau, v superintendent of the state lunatlu asylum at Warren, uuder llke cir cumstances, examined him aud reported that he was crazy, 'lhesomen are experts; trained and experienced In detecting anij treating Insanity, and skilled in exposing shams. With such an array ofevldonco before It what ought te be thought of u pardon beard win) w euld consent te the hanging of u mail? The truth is tbote Is a morbid, seiua- 123. lenal desire In this community te "hang somebody." Jacobs seems te have no friend and he la selected as the most available victim or this diseased appetite.

Iu the mean time Themas Cenlln, dork at the Htevens house, who had a patent tire extinguisher which he wanted te try, had been at work en the ilames and he did a great deal of geed. The chief of the fire department was anxious te extinguish the'ilrn with the use of as little water as posslble, ill order that the building would net be damaged. It was found necessary, however, te put en a plug stream from Company Ne. 1 .and the fire was soenoUilng of the past'. After the firemen had extinguished the flames they turned the stream out of the window. It se happened that the third-story window of Charles Eden, tbe next deer nolghber, was open at the time and, before the lire men noticed it their stream was runnimr directly Inte that beuse. The window was hurriedly shut down by Mr. Eden after slight damage had been dene. At ene time it looked as though consid erable damage would be dene by the fire, as the smeke was rolling out from the rear of the building and there Was a stiff wind blowing. It was extinguished In geed time, however.

Oram was1 put en trial for the larceny of goods from llellly Ures. A Ilanb. Tbe articles alleged te have been taken by Oram were chisels valued at 910, two sets of harness, bags, und a rattan broom. The testimony showed that Oram was employed te help clear away the debrls after the fire last summer. While Oram worked Hiere at this labor these goods wcre missed and seme months later were found secreted at uram-s neuse. Wlien Oram was ar rested he told Censtable Shaub that Jesepb Adams, ene of the empleyes of Rcllly Bres. Jt Itaub, had given him permission te take these articles because they were worthless. Mr. Adams was called te the witness stand and his testimony was that he told Oram he might take seme things en a pile of rubbish ready for hauling away, but the articles feuud in Oram's possession he did net give him permission te take. The defendant testified that he was em ployed te help clear away the debrts after the fire, und that the articles he took were en a pile of rubbish which was te be bauled away. A number of witnesses who hud known Oram for many years testified that his reputation for honesty was geed. The jury rendered a verdlct of net guilty. William Sbaub was next trled for the samoeffonso. The allegation was that he stele six shovels, six picks and six cress cut saws from Reilly Bres. &. Itaub's store. The commonwealth's testimony was furnished chiefly by Jehn Beck, who worked for the defendant as n carter. His testimony was that Shaub threw the above articles in the bottom of his cart and coverod them with dirt. The dirt was taken te a let near SheatTer's distillery and the tools, by Shaub's direction, were taken te Hbaub's stable. , t ( . The defense was that, Beck, was dis charged by Shaub and In revonge he c6iir cected the story he narrated en the stand. In addition It was shown that none of the goods alleged te be stelen were found lu Shaub's possession und that Shaub's repu tation for honesty was of the very Jiest. Thocemmonwcalth abandened t lie case and a verdict of net guilty was rendered. A verdlct of net guilty was entered iu a similar larceny case against, James Mc Clune, the testimony being the sinie as in thn Oram and Shaub cases.

The FI(htMuat Be One or Principles and Net of Men. Morrison Munford. editor of the Kansas City Timet, who Is visiting New Yerk, has had an Interesting Interview with ex-Pres-Ident Cleveland. Frem the account which he telegraphed his paper, the following portions of general Interest are taken I "Mr. Cloveland has lest nene of the seal for tariff reform which Inspired his celebrated message. It is a must grati fying thing te me,' he satd, 'that the masses, as well as the leaders of thn party, are taking held of the tariff issue with such spirit and ovldent deter mination te win. Even new, when thore are no elections pending, they are dis cussing this question with as mush earnest ness as if in the heat of a presi dential campaign. My letters from every part of the country show the extent and depth or the agitation. When the people think about a thing thoroughly aud dis passionately they de net fall into mistakes ; and they are new aroused and making a personal application te Ihemselves of the effect of undue taxation. Se great is the number of lotters I receive asking my views, roquestlngdocumonts and inviting me te attend meetings and make spoeches, that toglve them proner attention Is be bo be yend my Hwer te perform.' " A ulance at Mr. Cleveland's desk con firmed his remark. Ills personal mall Is probably larger than that of any prlvate citizen in the United States, and shows hew completely the' urlir agitation has stirred up the country. The effort de manded iu replying te the letters from earnest and active tariff rcformers makes a very sorleii8 tax en his time; but I re minded him or the uoed he was deluir. and said that the enthusiasm with which his utterances were received was the host ovi evi ovi dence I had had of thotempcr of the publla as te tariff reform, notably te his Bosten speech. '"I was genuinely pleased,' resumed Mr. Cleveland, 'te find in Bosten, among meu w he are constitutionally conservative, a degree of earnestness and fervor beyond that of meu ongegod In politics. Frem my observation thore and lu New Yerk, and from my correspondence, I conclude that the thinking meu of the nation are massed almost solidly en the slde of tariff reform. Whatever may be our upa aud downs, there is no danger as te the destiny of a party which absorbs the best brains, In telligence and honesty of the country, and the cause which draws these elements te Its support Is sure of ultimate triumph.' " I then said te Mr. Cleveland that the DomecratlcLparty was already preparing for 1892, anirloeklng forward te that cam- nuffrffl ,1'lfl. n.Wult.nmf m.i.t tnn A.I.....U. and that the sentiment was virtually unanimous that he should be our leader. As te that,' he replied, 'It is the cause, and net personal considerations, that should cencern us. I mil se well situated new that If I consulted my own reelings I would prefer te have seme ene elsa take the lead. ' " ' But,' said I, ' no ene else is thought of among the Democratic masses.' ' Meu who have elements of leadership develop rapidly, and It is a long time tilt 1892,' qulckfy replied the ox-presldent. 'It is net a matter of men but or principles. It would be a pity net te carry forward the work which the party his se grandly in augurated, and thore ought te lie no halt until the ends aimed at are encompassed and the peeple are in full possession of the benefits and blessings, which an accumu lation of Inoqualltes, called Inte existence by apathy en ene side and self-interest en the yther, have dlverted from them. I rejoice in reeling that the Democratic party Is the repository of the best principles and purposes; that its ranks teem with the intelligent young manhood of the country; that it enjoys a complete monopoly of overy Amerlcan policy net merely sectional or time servlng.'

He was driving down Prince street and had iu his wngen a trunk filled with clothing ami a box, which he was taking te the Penn sylvania railroad htatien for a party who was going away en a train. Just as he approached the railroad cross ing at Seuer's coal yard Lancaster Accommodation, a possenger train due here at 8:65, put In an appearance Watch man Armstrong, who was en duty at the crossing, thought Schwoers would be hurt if he attempted te cress and he beckoned te blm te stay hack. Schweers says he did" net bee the watchman and could net hear him calling en ac count of the rattling of the wagon, se hedroveon. The herse had crossed both tracks and thowugen was en the south track when the ongine struck It, causing a com cem com plete wreck. Every wheel In the wagon was broken aud seme of the spekes Hew through the air a distance of fifty feet. Beth spindles of tbe front axle were broken off and the tire of ene wheel was found some dlstance away. The trunk, which was in the wagon, was thrown seme dlstance and it landed en its slde ou the frezen ground. The result was that the lid was breken off and in fact the whole thing was very badly wrecked, the clothing being spilled In all directions. While all this smashing was going en Schwcers was able te koep In the Wagen,although he was thrown veryheavlly against the front part. He was but slightly bruised about the body and had ene finger cut.

ADAM FORBPAUGH DIES. Ml 8FTHE IMKEP.R OF A SH8WMAX KNOWN TO NKAKLV KVERViWnV, Death Results Frem Pneumonia en Wed- Headay Nlffht-IIe Accumulates Over a Millien In the Ctrena Buslnesa. Adam Ferepaugh, the old showman, died en Wedncsday'nlght at his residence, 1612 Green street, Philadelphia. He was first attacked with Influenza orlagrlppe ever a week age, and that resulted in pneumonia, causing his death. Mr. Forepaugh was 68 years old, and born and raised, in Philadelphia, although he came from a German family. In early life he was a butcher, as was his father be bo be fere him. Afterwards he engaged iu the horse business and was a heavy doaler. He qulte frequently came te Inucaster many years age te attend te busineRs, and was Intimately acquainted with Peler Cllue, Philip Copland aud ethor well known horse dealers. Many years age he em barked in the circus business and was successful. Year alter year he has been Increasing his show until It has bocetno ene of the largest In the world. The only rival Is that of P. T. Barnuni and James A. Balley, but Mr. Ferepaugh has been con nected with his show since he first om em barked in the business, and always took a great Interest In It. Fer years he and Bar nu in had the most bitter fights, but alter the great while elephant war of a few years age they agreed te bury the hatchet, and each spring since they have agreed upon different routes, for the entire season, se that they would net ceme in contact with eacli ether. Fer soveral years past Mr. Forepaugh's son, Adam, Jr., has been Ids partner iu the show buslness. Fer years it lias been a question whether Barnum or Forepaugh had the better show, but the latter always took prlde In having a Alie collection of animals lu geed condition. Mr. Forepaugh's face was a familiar ene te nearly overy man, woman and child In this country. It aderned overy bill of printing that he used,ne matter hew small. If e bore a striking rcsomblance te Chaun- coyDepow, the New Yerk railroad man, and they have been mistaken for each ether. Mr. Ferepaugh attended strictly te his business and always traveled with the show. IIe could be seen en tbe let eften from the time the first stake wns driven In the morning until the last ene was drawn at night. Although he always had an able corps of asslstants.he preferred te bee that overythlng went right hlmself. Since the compromise with Barnaul Mr. Fereriaugh has been visiting Lancaster every ether season with his show.

Result or the failure or Creps. .. An. A"?oclated Press reporter, Jiut from the Northwest, brbtjts with him a tale of horrlble suffering and destitution iu III counties of Seuth Dakota, gathercd from persons who but recently he been eye witnesses or what they se graphically de scribe, Tite stricken area includes the following counties! Mcpherson, Campbell, Wallwertb, Edmunds, Petter, a part of Brown, Spink, Hyde, Hand, Beadle, Clark, Kingsbury. Miner, Davidsen, Gerald, Ferk, Hughes and Sully. F. E. Paxton, a well-to-de buslness man, of Shabbona, DeKalb county, Illinois, who has spout seme days in the afflicted districts, says : "Howevor hard land sharks aud ethor Interested partles may try te koep the true state of things from the poeplo of this country, they cannot be long successful. The successlve failure offeur years' crops has reduced theso formerly well te de te a condition of direst distress. Many thou sands of uimilles are ontlrelv without means or any kind. They lack the where withal te purolmse the necessaries or life, whilst the ominous placard confronts them in every store where they oiue hud credit; "Ne trust glveu; goods sold for cash only. " Mr. Paxton described the condition of the peeple In the Kingsbury and Miner1 coutitles as simply heartrcndlng. In the latter county they have no flour, thoataple of life belngabudty ground cerniueal, and thore Is a doplerublo Insufficiency or that. Every Turin Is morlgaged, in many cases for mera than it sale under present prices would rcallre. Most of the sleck has been levuxi en ami seiu uy the therlff at publle auction, the ridiculously low prices obtained belug eloquent, net only or the starving condition of the cult le but the scarcity of means in the com cem com munityeows fetching as low as 5 onleco, horses $8 and 810, while shoep end pigs are simply unsalable, there being nothing te feed them with. One man had a few miserable chickens left, of what, two years uge, was a well stocked farm. The women and children bear ovhlences of the hardships they have iindorgeno in their pinched and meagre fuces. In many In stances, they are unprevided with clothing with which te withstand the rigors of win ter, what they new have being lu a ragged and worn out condition, " At ene place," said Mr. Paxton, " I saw two children walking with their feet wrapped up In ploces or old blanket through the snow. They told me thev had no shoes for many months. I lifted the yeungest up, a girl of 7 or 8 years ; she was llttle better than a akeloten." " Are the railroads doing anything te help the poeplo" " The railroads are natural I v doing all they can te koep iieople in the country. They live in hopes that a geed season will set many en thelr feet again. They have done much te alloviate the sufferings of the poeplo from the oxtreme cold, by the gra tuitous dlNtrlbutlouercoal wliereithas been most ueeded. In many Instances the banks, also, huve foreborue te foreclose mortgages out or sheer pity." " What Is most noeded, Mr. Paxton 7" was next usked. "Fleur, ospeclally In Kingsbury and Miner counties, and clothing for the women and children. Previsions or any kind Just new would be a Ged-send te thousands who are In a semi-starving condition. Unless relief Is glveu with a liberal hand this winter in Seuth Dakota you will hear or many 'deatliB from abselute starvation and the reports will undoubtedly have foundation In fact." ' Mr. Paxton oxhlblted a map, which he said had been marked by the governor, showing the area evor wb lob the doilltu deilltu doilltu tlen oxtendod. It included till the counties obevo named. Mrs. A. C. Cleveland, of Esmend, S. D., confirms Mr. Paxton' story of the widespread destitution prevail ing. This lady is new in Minneapolis, where she is making horelc efforts lu be half or the sufferers. She says flour is very badly noeded, and Will try and ln ln duce Minneapolis millers te donate at least a carload. OLADSTONK ON MVK ISSUES.

Continuing, Mr, Glodslenosuld the coun try would be llkely seen te hear much about the Puriiell commission.
