Her Diary Contains Pleasant Incident
el the Step In Lancaster.
There was quite an excitement about
town en Saturday evening ever the trip of
Nellio Bly, the traveling advertisement 6f
the New. Yerk World, and a girl who
showed herself te be as full of pluck a
an egg Is of meat. Everybody was
talking about the noble little lady
and the whole town seemed proud.
After the people of this city had
read our contemporaries they were
net certain whether some of the Lancaster
newspaper men or Nellie Bly had done
the great act. Frem the manner in which
several of these gentlemen, one of whom
gave the maiden a copy of Lancaster Life,
another a News and a third a Harrlsburg
Telegram, handled their pens, there was
nothing in doubt as te why Nellie went
around the world; it was te meet them
back of the Glebe hotel. t
The trip of Miss Bly niade a great do de
mand for the New Yerk World yesterday,
as eveaybedy was anxious te knew who
had been the lucky gnesser aud came
nearest te telling at what time the girl
would ceme home. The IVerM did net
tell this "for obvious reasons," as they
stated, but really because they want the
demand for the paper kept up for a time
longer.
The news agents of this city took the
advantage of the demand for the World,
and en Saturday several of them went
around soliciting subscribers, and formed
a trust. A great many extra papers were
breuaht here and the majority of the agents
had the nerve te charge ten cents for the
papor.The regular Sunday edition sells here
alwaya for six cents, but it Is net worth
half that sum and the newsdealers saw an
opportunity te take advantage of the peo
ple. They did It In geed ahape, but from
what can be learned the people will net
seen forget it. Felks who buy copies of this
paper overy Sunday were beaten nareuceu
and many of them have written te the
World te find out about it. Charles H.
Barr, ene of the leading news agents of the
town, aaya that he always sells the World
for six cents en Sunday and did se yester
day. He never charges mere for it and If
his boys, who pay him for the paper, did
se yesterday be knows nothing of it. The
Union News company, at the P. R. R.
station, sold the paper at Its regular price
and the ether agents swindled the people.
Some of the agents try te justify them
selves by stating that they are charged
much higher rates for the World every
dayin the week than they should be and
when they get a geed whack at It they
take advantage of it.
Later advices show that the Union News
boys also robbed the peep.'e by charging
ten cents.

William H. Lewis, deputy factory In
spector, left Lancaster this morning. Be
fore leaving he was seen by an Intklue kn
ckb reporter and in reply te inquiries as te
hew he had found things at Lancaster
he spoke a fellows :
" I have Inspected nearly 40 factories of
different kinds and must say that en the
whole I find the sanitary condition gen
erally geed, especially in the larger ones,
the proprietors of which have left nothing
undone towards making their empleyes
comfortable. A few, however, have
neglected te provide sufficient means of
egress in case of tire ; ethers have neglected
te Jutve their elevator openings covered,
and a few have machinery exposed, which
is very dangerous te women and children
passing and repassing, all or which I am
assured will be remedied by the time I
come around again."
" Hew about the children employed In
these facteriei; are thore many under
ageT"
" Net as many as I expected ? In fact I
have net found any under 12, but a great
many between 12 and 10, who will Have te
rurnfsh the affidavits according te law."
" Dees the law designate the number or
hours that women and children shall
work T"
"Yes; section one reads that no miner
shall be employed for a longer period than
00 hours In any week."
" Have you found any who work mere?"
"Yea. One industry only. The cotton
mills work 11 hours a day, which is con
trary te law and must be changed. I am
sure the hours will be changed without
friction, aa the proprietors of the mills
seem anxious te comply with the law. I
have enjoyed my visit te Lancaster very
much, have found the people obliging and
sociable and ready te direct me te any of
the various factories I waa In search of.
The manufecturera and ethors whom Ihave
had occasion te visit officially have all re
ceived me with the greatest courtesy and
respect for which through your paper I
wish te thank them all. I trust I may be
as well recelved and as kindly treated at
every place as I have been here, then there
will be very little unpleasant in the life of
a deputy factory inspector."
Mr. Lewis expects te visit Lancaster
again in about GO days.

CLOSE OF CIHM1NAX. COUItT.
A Number of Surety or Peace Casea Dis
posed On Saturday.
Saturday Afternoon. Court re-assemj
bled at 2:30 o'clock and the hearing of de
sertion and surety of the peace cases was
resumed.
Ralph Stauffer was charged by Kate
Fleishman with having made threata
against her, The testimony showed that
both parties were employed In a cigar fac
tory at Akren and en the 7th and 9th of
December he threatened te strike her and
mash her te a jelly.
The defense was that these parties had a
dispute and It ended in a row. Stauffer
heard that Kate had talked about him and
he went te see her about it. He admitted
having said te Kate that if she was a man
he would mash her te a Jelly. The court
directed Stauffer te enter into rocegnlzanco
te keopthe peace for three months and pay
the cost of prosecution.
Samuel Shenk, of Lltllz, was charged by
his wife with deserting her. The testimony
showed that the parties were only married
en July 4th. Samuel said he would pro pre pro
vlde a place at his father's home and the
case was continued until next Saturday,
te see if such an arrangement can be made.
Byren Deutrich and his son Jacob were
charged by Charles Rowewlth surety or
the peace. These parties are neighbors
living near Harristown, Paradise town
ship, and en December 24th, according te
Rewo's testimony, Byren Deutrich at
tempted te get at him te assault him, and
later threatened te kill him. Deutrich and
son, it wasalleged.walted for several hours
outside the store te waylay Rewo. Cem
plaint was at ence made against Byren
Dentrlch, and he was bound evor te keep
the peace. A day or two afterwards Byren
threatened te kill Rewe, and he was pros
ecuted a second time. As te Jacob Dout Deut
rich, Rewo said he threatened te pull out
his beard.
Byren admitted that he had a dispute
with Rewe at the vlllage store, but he do de
nled havinir made any threata. The son
said he asked Rewe te pay him for a lead
of hay be owed. Rewe made faces at him
and Jacob then said he would pull his
whiskers.
A surety of the peace case against Rewe,
in which Byren Deutrich was the presecu
ter, waa next attached. J lie complainant
stated that Rewo had en several occasions
said he was ready ler him, carried a revol
ver and threatened te sheet him.
The court said that there was a great deal
of feeling between all the parties te these
suits and they concluded te bind all the
parties te keep the peace. Each of the three
defendants were dirocted te onter Inte
recognizance in the sum of $300 te keep
the peace for six months and pay the costs
or prosecution.
In the case of commonwealth vs. Geerge
Rewo. carrying concealed deadly weapons,
In which the grand Jury Ignored the bill
and put the costs en Byren Deutrich, coun
sel for the prosecutor asked for a rule te
show cause why se much of the finding of
the grand inquest as imposed costs en him
should net be stricken off. The reason was
that through a mistake of the justice the
wrong witnesses were sent befere the
grand Jury. The court decided that it waa
new tee late te send the bill before another
grand Jury and refused te grant the rule.
Deutrich paid the costs.
Bishop Whtttaker Fired Upen by ft
Tenne Man While In Church.
While Bishop Osl W. Whttaker was
standing in the chancel of St. Jehn's
Protestant Episcopal church, Philadelphia,
during service Sunday evening, David
Alexander. 20 years old, who was in the
third pew" from the chancel, fired a shot at
the bishop from his revolver. The bullet
missed Hs mark and Bishop Whttaker waa
net aware of the attempt en hla life until
the service waa at an end. Alexander was
promptly arrested and locked up.
Three or four male members of the con
gregation rushed forward te aetse him.
Alexander made no resistance, gave up hla
revolver, and allowed himself te be led te
the vestibule of the church. He appeared
te be perfectly oe'leoted, and In response te
a question replied that he did net Intend te
sheet the rector, but meant the ahet for
the bishop, and that he wanted te kill him.
He was given in charge nfPatrelman Hun
ter, andtakee te the St. Jehn street station
house
As seen as Alexander was taken away
the services were continued te their cler
and although the congregation was a vsry
large one It U stated that there waa very
little excitement, many taking but llttle
notice or the pistol shot, thinking that the
sound came nam ine ouisiae.
The bishop, who had apparently paid
but little attention te the sheeting, waa net
informed or the attempt en his ltfe until
the conclusion of the services, and he re
ceived the news with apparent unconcern.
A search for the bullet failed te show where
it struck.
At the station house, Alexander, who Is
a woll-dressed and apparently woll-educa-ted
man er20, said that until last week he
had been employed in the mall order de-
Eartment erstrawbridge A Clothier, when
e resigned, " se as net te disgrace the
store;" that for seme time past he has
been considering the matter of sheeting
the bishop, and that he was net sorry for
what he had done. He said that Bishop
Whltaker was a hypocrite and a favorer of
the rum soller. He stated that ene ntgbt
last April, befere the prohibition campaign,
he had heard the bishop preach at the
Church of the Hely Apostles, at Twenty
first and Christian streets, and that dur
ing the sermon he had said that in the
liquor question every man should vote ac
cording te his conscience. A few daya
later he saw In the papers that the bishop
was In favor of high license.
He then wrote te that divine, asking him
hew he could take such a stand with Christ
as an example. The bishop replied te the
effect that if he had read his Bible he him
self would knew whether or net ills life
was a model te fellow.
This decided him, hesald, thattbeblshep
was a friend of the rumseller, and ought te
be removed. He had been watching, he
said, for seme time te get an opportunity te
sheet him, and en Saturday evenlng he
heard that he was te preach at St, Jehn's
church, and he made up bis mind that his
chance had ceme.
He also added that he had made up bis
mind that when he had killed Bishop
Whltaker he would remove the Rev. S. D,
McConnell, D. D.. the rector of St,
Stephen's church, because he also was a
hypocrite, as he had seen hi in a few nights
before the prohibition election en the plat
form at the Academy of Music, seated with
rum-suckers and their friends. He said
that he knew that if he had killed the
bishop the consequence would have been
the gallows, but that he would willingly
Se there for the sakoef the church he se
early loved.
Alexander, during this statement, talked
rationally and was quick and bright in re
plying te questions. The police hewever,
consider that he is, without doubt, de
mented en the liquor question.

The January term of the common pleas
court waa opened at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, with Judge Livingston presiding In
the upper court and Judge Patterson In the
lower court room. Of the 30 cases en the
list for trial 2 were Bottled, 11 contlnued
and 17 declared ready for trial.
The most Important cases en the list are
Kate Mlsal vs. the Philadelphia A Reading
railroad company, and the county of Lan
caster vs. Wm. G. Duttenholfer, defaulting
tax collector, and his bondsmen, Cenrad
Swartz and August Wela.
The but named case was called for trial
and a verdict, without taking any testi
mony, was rendered in favor of the county
against DuttenhefTer for 94,730.34 and lu
favor of Cenrad Swartr. and August Wels,
the bondsmen.
The facta in this Interesting cese were
these : DuttenhefTer was elected tax col
lector of Columbia for three years. Fer
the third year DuttenhefTer presented aa
bis bondsman the abeve parties. Nothing
further wai done until the time came for
Duttonheffbr te settle when it waa
discovered that he was a dofaulter. An
examination or his books showed that he
was short 91,730.34. His bondsmen were
at ence notified, and te the great surprise
eT the county authorities thuy douied hav
ing signed the bend or Duttonheffer. Suit
waa entered against DuttenhefTer and his
bondsmen, aud a large amount or testi
mony shown. S warts and Wels proved be
yond a questien that thelr names had been
forged, and such being the case they of
course were net llable.
On the day that the bondsmen nmde the
declaration that these names were forged
Duttonheffer disappeared, and slnce then,
the summer of 1888, he has never been
heard of.
In instructing the Jury Judge Livingston
told them that the bondameu must be re
leased under the circumstances and the
county lese the amount of the defalcation,
but it showed that the commissioners
should be very careful in the approval or
bends. IT he was a commissioner he would
establish a rule requiring tax collectors te
bring their bondsmen befere the beard or
commissioners, and have thorn acknowl
edge their signatures lu the prosenco of the
beard. In that way thore would be no for fer for
gerlesof the names of botulsmen In the

I)lMntlsrlMl With the President.
Washington dlapatch te Philadelphia ledger,
It has been for some time au open secret
that President Harrison was net popular
with many or the senators, represntatlves
and leading men or hla party, but nene of
them have been bold enough te express
publicly the opinions they de net hesitate te
utter In private conversation. Mr. Henry
Wolcott, of Colerado, a brother or Senater
Wolcott, has crossed the line, and gives
uttorance te his opinions or the president
with a frankuess that leaves no doubt as
te his feellngs. In an Intorview published
in the Ist Mr. Wolcott speaks of goneral
discontent prevalent In the West with Pres
ident Harrison's administration and says
that In the aolectlon or Secretary Neble
"the president reached Inte oblivion and
dragged him out." Mr. Wolcott aaya
his criticism or the administration does net
rest entirely en its failure te properly rc rc rc
cognlze tha country west, of the Missouri
river. "The Went," said he, "contributed
largely te Harrison's nomination. We
were told by his champions that he was a
strong, vigorous man, and a Republican
who bolleved In thorough party organiza
tion. Never before was such an effort put
forth te olect anv party candidate, and I.
for ene, am disgusted at the sanctimonious
assertion that President Harrison's nomi
nation and election was the work of the
Lord, and net the result or hard political
work and shrewd political managoment.
"I could name a hundred reasons for this
dlscontentleii or Republicans with the
