JANITOR OF CITT HALL.
The caucus saw fit te place in nomina
tion a candidate for janitor of Citv hall.
This office was created by an ordinance ap
pointed in January, 1880, of which the fol
lowing is a copy :
Be it ordained by the select and common
councils of the city or L:icwter, that a jan
itor for the City ball sbull be appointed by
the proper authorities, as provided by law.
He shall have charge or and keep clean nil
of said City hall and Veep clean the pave
ments around the same. He shall have
charge of and operate all beating apparatus
iui we KHf biiu inner, uiat tne city may
determine te beat from said bulMinir. Tin
shall give his time exclusively te the city
and perform all the duties incident te the
duties of Janitor.
Section 2. He shall receive a salary of
ite per annum, payauie monthly, as a
full compensation for all services. He
shall give bend, with ene or mere sureties
te be approved by the mayor, in the sum or
fMK), ler the faithful performance of his
duties,
Frank Parvln was appointed the Janitor
by Mayer Edgerley and at tbe Republican
caucus held a year age this office was net
then thought of as being ene te be disposed
orbyceupcllmanic gift. It is only since
the olectlen of Rebert Clark that the Re
publican councilmen discovered that they
had the right te fill this office.
Attorneys who were seen le-day, and
asked In reference te the ordinance, said
councils bave no business te fill this office.
It reads that the janitor shall be appointed
by the proper authorities. If it was In
tended te glve councils the selection of this
officer it would have been msde te readt
"such officer shall be elected." Councils de
net have the appointing pewer. Mayer
Edgerley looked upon this effice as one of
his appointments, and Mr. Clark takes the
same view or it.
TALK of nnniKUv.
The friends of tbe dofeated candidates are
loud in their denunciation or these mem
bers or council who went back en thorn.
It is hlhted that bribes were used te secure
the votes of a few or the meinbers, but the
accusers will net say who used the money
or who received it. The talk Is very similar
te that heanl every year after a Republican
caucus aud the feeling will die out in a few
days.
Liquor Dealers Sentenced.
In court in Reading en Wednesday tbe
cases or several mero accused liquor dealers

An adjourned meeting of city councils
waa held en Wednesday evening. In select
council there were present Messrs. Everts,
Erisman, Riddle, Rohrer, Schum, Storm
felts, Wlse and Leng, president.
Mr. Rlddle presented the roiert of the
street committee as te the bids for stene for
the streets or the city during 1890. All the
material facts In the report as te bids snd
the result of the test or the several samples
sent te Pittsburg were published In
Tuesday's Intkllieksckii.
Mr. Riddle moved that tbe recommenda
tion or the committee, te award the con
tract te Jehn F. Suiuffer, be approved.
In support or the motion Mr. Riddle said
the committee had dene all In their power
ihe past threo or four months te reach
some conclusion as te tbe very be&t stene
te be bad. Samples of stone from a num
ber or quarries were tested, but the com
mittee were somewhat at a less
after the test in awarding the contract,
Mr. Bechtold's stene steed the best test,
but his stene quarry Is undeveloped, and
he would net put In a bid. The rommlttee
felt that it was policy te make a change
in the stene for city streets. He
believed the city had an elephant en their
hands in the stene crusher. One bldder
offered te furnish stone at 60 cenls per ten
broken. The crusher has a toudency te
Injure tbe stone. It is hotter when napped.
Stones tbe past year seemed alt ritilit when
put en the streets, but when en tbe streets
a short tlme they fell te pieces. He bo be
lleved the tlme Is coming when stene for
streets will be discarded and fire brick or
some otber material used instead. Tbe
paving efa few squares or Duke street with
asphalt blocks the last year will demon
strate the wisdom or the committee's ac
tion. There docs net appear te be any
stene in Lancaster county that will stand
such woather as we have had the past two
years, when there bns net been a week's
frost at a tlme. The elements appear te be
against the streets of Iho city or Lancaster.
The recommendation of the street com
mittee in awarding the contract te Mr.
Stauffer was approved. Common council
concurred.

The rejKirt of the llre commlttce was pre
sented by Mr. Eberman. It recommended
tbe purchase by councils or the old Empire
house en Xerth Dtike street, te be used by
the llre department for storing tire appara
tus, Ac. The prlce asked by Mr. Arneld
Is $5,000.
Mr. Frantz moved that the report of the
committee be adopted us well as their rec
ommendations. Mr. Cresbaugh, who served en the sub
committee of the fire commlttee.statod that
he had made a thorough examination of
the building and found it te be In geed
condition. He did net think that the city
could go wrong In purchasing.
Mr. Eberman staled that Mr. Arneld
hud paid $500 extra te the Pennsylvania
railroad, when he purchased the heuse from
the Empire, In order te obtain a geed tltle,
and there could be no objection te It en
that ground. Mr. Yeung thought the
prlce of the heusa was reasonable. He
knew It te be in geed condition.
Mr. llertzficld said he did net wuut te
object te the purchase of the house, but he
thought the location was ratherceutral and
tee clese te the Dtike htrect railroad bridge
With a spirited pair of hersey, nu apparatus
was likely te btrlke against the bridge lu
coming out or the heuse. This house could
have been bought some years age at the
same prlce that Mr. Arneld bad paid.
Objections were then made te the purchase,
and he could net think but they were
reasonable yet.
Mr. Prantz's motion (e adept the com
mittee's reccoinmendatlen wus passed
unanimously. Select council concurred.
Mr. llrinten presented h petition asking
for the change or the name Buttonwood

LANCASTER, PA., THURSDAY,
TARIFF TROUBLES.
Republican gtsttsmca Floundering in II
Swamp or Taxes.
Tbe publication or the first draft of the
tariff bill, with all its uncorrected errors
and without its later amendments, together
with the publication en Wednesday of
several completed schedules, brought down
upon the commutes a flood of remon remen
strances before which they fled from their
conimlttee.reohl unable te wetk. Senators,
representatives and these of their constitu
ents who could get there, came in person,
and telegrams and retlers poured In from
all ever the country.
The sugsr, hides snd metals duties and
the taxes en tobacco were the principal
points or objection. Besides the Kansas,
California and Louisiana sugsr pretests,
Uarmer, or Philadelphia, te the general
astonishment, brought a new one In behalf
of Hamilton Dlsstett and his associates,
who nronese. Hartnnr sava. If the rut In
.sugar duties Is net made, te begin sugar
0isingin Flerida, but will abandon the
Vjtarnrlse If the cut Is made. The voice or
wow England was beam In pretests against
tbe emission or raw materials for Iren and
steel and woolen and cotton mauufacl tires
rrem the free list.
It will probably be reported te the full
committee, however, without material
change. The Democrats will net delay the
bill lu committee longer than Is nocessary
te prepare a minority report. In the Heuse
they will move amendments te each
schodule, and at the end of the discussion
meve te recommit the bill with Inst mo
tions te substitute a bill made np or their
amendments.
On this motion tbey can get the yeas and
nays, and se put the Heuse en record, lu
the Democratic substitute the free list or
the Mills bill will be extended se as te
lnclude nil tbe raw material which woolen,
cotton, iron, steel and ether manufacturers
are asking for.
Nothing has created mere of a sensation
than the attempt te Impese a duty uimn
hides nnd skins. There Is nothing like
leathor for resisting such a strain as this,
nnd Its strength has already been felt here.
It seems that this prnjiositieu, llke that te
put n duty or a dollar n pound en raw silk,
was preiKKsed by Gear, or Iowa, en behalf
or tbe Wosteru Republicans, who think
the way te relieve the farmer or the crush
lug bunion or taxation Is te Impese addi
tional taxation en possible farm products.
In the Iown campaign last fall, for ex
ample, the Republicans premised nn the
stump te tax hides among ether posslble
farm products.
At the cattlemen's convention in Chi
cago last year assurances were given en
uenau ei prominent western itepuuucuus
that hides should be taxed. An Impudent
attempt was made by tboergaulzers of that
convention te get Mills, of Texas, ns the
representative or a cattle ratslnir state, te
commit himself, either by speech or by
letter, te the hind-taxing policy. Mills
could net go te Chicago, but be rebuked
them sharply in a strong lctter, in which
he said that no would never tax bides or
any ether raw material.
As at first prpiiesed the hlde tax was te
be 1 J cents a pound en all hides and skins.
Dingley has succeeded by hard lighting In
getting goat kid nnd wild animals' skins
excepted and a prevision made for a rebate
en material used In manufacturing goods
afterward ex ported. He Is still lighting te
ellmluate the whole paragraph, but will
net succeed In this. Ner will the Massa
chusetts members, as they bone, be able te
get It out In caucus or lu the Heuso. They
will have te defeat it in the Senate. It is
very Interesting te soe Dingley, Ledgo nnd
otber New England Republicans contend
ing for these imrtlcular free raw materials.
Manufacturers In all lines of trade In
PIttsbura read of the new tariff schedule
with Interest, J. A. II rati I ey, of Alleghany,
the only woolen manufacturer In tne two
cities, when asked bis opinion, said :
"Nothing will evor linprove tbe condition
of either manufacturer or grower oxcept
free raw material. Tbe American wool-
Srowers will get hotter prices for tbe pro pre
uct when wee) is en the free list. Fer the
manufacturers the duty of -10 per cent, is
nu ngnt. we suaii manage te ue wry
well at thut, but the improvement, if any,
will be only temperary without free ruw
material. As n whole, I regard the bill a
partisan measure."

man Is kept by night and day, whose duty
It is te keep them clean. Mr. Costelle had
charge of tbe west pit last night, tbe nearer
te the turnpike. Shortly bofero 12 o'clock
he left tbe pit and walked evor te tbe llttle
shanty, which he occupies, along the track.
Ue was Inside but a short tlme when a
man cattie te the window and broke It in,
demanding udmlssieu. The railroad man
picked up n small Iren red, with
which he Intended te defend himself,
If necessary. He walked te the deer and
the stranger was therc te meet him. Cos Ces Cos

stranger caught him roughly bythoover bytheover bythoever

was down the stranger struck and kicked
him several times and then disappeared.

book, which, however, contained noth

Costelle was se badly hurt that he
was uuable te get up. He lay uleng

found by the crpw of n freight train, who
took hi in te Conesteg.t tower. He was

RUDY TO BE HANGED.
tib mm mam refuses us irru
CATION F8R CMMTATIOft.
Jacobs Saved Frem tbe Gallows-Us Is
te Be Taken te the Penitentiary and
Finally te an Insane Asylnm.
The beard of pardons decldert at their
session en Wednesday night te commute'
the death sentence or James II. Jacobs te
one of Imprisonment for life. As seen aa
the necessary twpcrs are received he will
be transferred te the Eastern penitentiary,
and aa experts have pronounced him te bu
Insane he will finally be transferred te one
of the state tnsane asylums.
The beard of pardons refused the appli
cation of Jehu W. Rudy, for a cemmuta
Hen, owing te the absouce of the notes f
testimony.
Tlie effect of the decision Is that Rudy
will be hanged en the Oth or April unless
tbe governor grants another respite. Au
effort will be made In that direction, with
very llttle heK of anything being accom
plished. Rudy's counsel will inform him
te-day or the decision of the pardon beard,
that there Is very llttle hone of a further
respite, and urge him te prepare for his
oxccutlenon the date fixed by the governor
twenty days from te-day.
THE PRISONERS UKCEIVK THE NEWS
Rudy Thinks There Is no Hepe and Will
Prepare for tlie Worst.
The news of the decision In the Rudy
case was broken te the condemned man
this morning about 0 o'clock by Prison
Keeper Smith. When told or the refusal
by tbe pardon beard, te Interfere In Ids
behalf, Rudy seemed te be greatly
breken up, nnd, although he tried hard
te restrain the tears, be was net suc
cessful and seemed te be suffering the
greatest menial agony. He said he
had thought that he might be sent te tbe
Eastern penitentiary for life, but he had
been prepared for the worst from the start.
He thought that this was the end and there
was no further 1iemj for his 'life. Rudy
told another party that ir Jacobs waa gtven
a cbance be thought he should have ene
also. He said: "I have been unlucky
from tbe start, hewever, and have never
bad any chance." While talking he
seemed te be en the vorge of breaking Inte
tears. He apparently has given up all hope
and will new likely prepare for the Itut
lerrlble act lu tlie case.
Mr. Smith also told Jacobs of the decis
ion In his case. When he went te his cell
he found tbe prisoner lying en his back en
the fleer. Ue was entirely coverod with a
blanket and peeped out from ene corner or
It when Mr. Smith spoke te him. At that
tlme he said nothing whatever, but simply
covered up his head again and turned
around. Just before dlnner was brought
around he was again seen and he wasthen
still lying en the fleer cevesed with the
blanket. He bad his legs crossed and ene
feet high in tlie air. He refused te tulk at
first, but when his dinner was brought
around be arose rrem the fleer, and,
after dodging into the corner or tbe
cell, quickly stepped te the Iren gate
with his tin pan'ln his band. After re
ceiving his feed he began te talk in his
usual rambling way and told a gentleman
that was standing near that he supposed he
had ceme te inspect him ; be said, " Yes, I
am hore for these murders and some will
go mere than 08 miles with a repe around
tjielr neck." As be closed the sentence he
drew his hand across his threat. That was
all that he said about hanging nnd began
talking about otber subjects.

The resolution offered by Mr. VoerhoA
last Monday as te agricultural depression
was takmt up In the Seuatoen Wednesday,
and Mr. Voorhees spoke of the deep,
strong current of anxiety, discontent nnd
alarm prevailing In tbe farming com
munities, and snld that he proposed te aid
them In the Inquiry as te the causes el the
existing depression. The farmers of the
United States te-day did net receive en an
average mere than ten cents a bushel for
thelr corn, fifty cents for their wheat, and
from two te three cents a peuud for thelr
hogs.
Every pretonce of home market for the
farmer was a fraud, and every nrstetice of
taxing wheat, eats and potatoes for bis
benefit was n cheat nnd a sham. It was a
notorious and self-evident truth that the
tariff, as It new steed, increased the far
mers' exneusp account from thlrly-llve te

Slates wero put te sale te-day, under the
