A BUSY WEEK IN TOBACCO.
The Sales of Seed Lear the Past Week
Aggregate Over l.TOO Cases.
The leaf tobacco trade the past week was
a brisk one In old goods. The sales aggre
gated ever seventeen hundred cases,
S. Barnett & Ce., New Yerk, head the
list with a purchase of 670 cases bought
from local packers. This firm sent their
man te Lancaster te buy the 1889 crop, but
he was disgusted at its quality, and in
stead of Investing that way he bought old
goods. Sklles & Frey handled 125 cases,
Dan Mager 100, David Lederman 250 and
ether firms 676 cases.
There was mere tobacco delivered by
farmers the past week tbsn in any one
week since the tobacco season opened.
Farmers were anxious te deliver te meet
their April obligations and buyers wero
after bargains and in many cases advantage
was taken of the necessities of the tobacco
grower.
Much has been written about the. bad
tobacco crop of 1889, and it is rare that a
man in the business will admit that it has
any geed qualities. Such a party was seen
te-day. He says that both seed and
Havaus is turning out better by far
than was anticipated, and these who pur
chased largely will make money en their
Investment. He leeks for higher prices
for the tobacco yet in the farmers hands,
and knows of crops that brought mere
meney the past week by a few cents a
pound than offered earlier in the season.
The damage te It he claimed is net by any
means as great as at first supposed by the
packers.
New Yerk Tobacco Market.
Frem the U. H. Tobacco Journal.
Business seems te have revived at last
Activity was infused into our market by
an almost unprecedenledly large number
of out-of-town buyers whom, no doubt, the
report of the proposed tariff legislation en
tobacco sent flying hither and who bought
qulte freely or the domestic and foreign
leaf. As we predicted, the immodtate
effect of the proposed legislation Is begin
ning te tell en the market. Lear is net te
bocemo cheaper, even if the tariff bill
should net pass. Present buyers have
therefore everything te gain and nothing
te leso.
Or domestic lear about 1.200 cases were
disposed of. Chlof In deinand were Wis
consin and Onondaga B's. But a goodly
share of '88 Pennsylvania was sold also,
and for certain grades of New England
stock the demand was greater than the
supply te he found. Fer many parties are
holding back some flne lets of Housatonic
and Connecticut Havana for a much
higher advance than offered at present.
Buyers have also commenced te Invest
heavier in Sumatra. Kvcn mere than a
hundred bale lets was sold a thing net
heard of for months. As long as the tariff
agitation lasts the prices at the inscriptions
will net rule lower than last year's; the
respects therefore are that the prlce of
umatra will steadily rise for the next few
months. The market would hcuce appear
te be mere favorable for the buyers new
than later en. Aggregate sales for the week
about 400 bales.
The next inscription is fixed for April 18.
The Havana business continues as lively
as ever. The news from Havana is net
very encouraging of a plentiful new crop.
The search new is for vegas containing
wrapping leaf for the purpose of storing
tliem awuy in case the $2 rate passes. Sales
amounted te 1,500 bales. Flne new Heme
dies demand from 90 te 05 cents. and old
Vueltas from $1.15 upward. Ne limits are
drawn there, if but the suitable tobacco is
forthcoming.
Frem the Tobacco Leaf.
The market tills week was fairly active
and manufacturers as well as Jobbers ex
amined all varieties of tobacco, with the
anticipation of securing tobacco suitable for
wrapper purpeses. Binder and tiller to
bacco, especially '88 Pennsylvania B's,
were bought quite largely. The agitation
new going en in Congress regarding the
duty en Sumatra and Havana tobaccos
suitable for wrappers, making the duty
$2 per pound, has wrought the farmers
throughout the tobacco growing districts te
such a state ofexcitemont as te make buy
lng ut present net very active. The farm
ers In u short time, no doubt will realize
the true situation of the market, and will
sell their goods accordingly.

A Lively Battle Ter the Seaaterahlp.
The Strnagle Fer County Offices
Mera Aalmatvd Than Usual.
r
If the weather doss net Improve mater
ially In a short time the numerous candi
dates for the county offices te he filled en
May lid will be unsble te bere the dear
people with their appeals ler tbelr vote and
Influence.
Up te dste there sre seventy-two candi
dates and with these for delegates, peer
directors and prison Inspectors yet te be
announced, the list will contain a hundred
names by the time the entries are closed
for the greatest scram bio for office In the
history of the Republican party of the
county.
There are at present but two factions
recegnlxed by the politicians. They are
led by the rival cattle dealers who de busi
ness en the oppeslto sides of Park avenue,
hut a third faction Is likely te be fermed.
Who is te be the Moses te lead Is asyet un
decided. When formed this faction will be
apt te attract te some or the young men
or the party who are tired or doing the
work while the old 'una get all the boodle
and glory. The public will read all about
this new ring In due time.
The township bosses are badly mixed up
as yet en the situation. They came te
town te-day for instructions but get nene,
for the few lcadera who name the candi
dates te be supported by their henchmen
have net yet fully doctded as te the offices,
with one or two exceptions.
Beginning with ihe head of the ticket,
congressman llreslus has thus far n clear
field. An effort made te Induce A. Hcrr
Smith te run ngnin, with the proinise of
support from nearly nil the politicians.
was unsuccessful.
Sheriff Burkhelder has the congressional
bee in his bonnet, but he will net run If
anybody else wants te be a candidate.
There are two ether names mentioned in
connection witii this office Dr. P. J. Roe
buck and Samuel M. Myers. The first
named would llke te run, but the poli
ticians de net want him. The last
named would be a strong candidate nnd
acceptable te the politicians. He is consid
ering the propriety of announcing.
Whlle there is a disposition en the part
of the politicians te roll re Breslus at the end
of his tlrst term, he has the best of the fight
and has warm friends who will sacrifice
anything te make him.
Next en the list is the prothenoUiry's
contest, for which there are seven entries,
three or whom formerly held this
office. Five or the candidates are strong
politically and have hosts or workers
behind them, and the remaining two
are net without supporters. Hart
man gees into the fight with the prostlge
or being a candidate or one of the factions.
His political enemies me trying te make
capital out or the recent city election, but
en the ether hand he has gained friends
for the elferts he made te elect Denues.
It leeks as if A. C. Ilyus would be the
selection or the old Heg Ring faction. He
is well known throughout the county and
is a formidable candidate.
Capt. Stauffer, who is alsen candidatofer
thin effice, is a hustler. He will sce mero
people In less time than any or his oppo
nents, and oxpectste win. He is net likely
te be In a combination but will poll a geed
vote ill the city and in nome or the districts
or the county.
Capt. MeMellen, who made a geed fight
three years age, single-handed, against both
factious, although late te enter the tight,
began his campaign early this year. Heis
a shrewd politician, nnd If he should get
en a combination would be in the front
rank when the votes are counted.
Jehn Reland, of New Helland, Is strong
in the vicinity or his own home and he ex
pects te get a place en one or the combina
tions. He has friends behind him who are
pushing his claims.
Joel S. Eaby and F. Lewis Nell hare
none of the politicians of note with tbein,
but are Hjugulne. They will in their per
sonal canvass endeavor te show the peeple
that they should be elected bacause the
politicians are against them.
Or the six candidates for sheriff the fight
Is beyond a question betwoen Abram
Keller, Wm. S. Shirk and Jehn Sides.
The first named when a candidate three
years age bad the solid support of the Bull
Ring faction. This year part of it is against
him, for Levi Senxcnig has declared for
Jehn Sides. Mr. Sides is making a per
sonal canvass in a manner fur different
from that when he was a candldate
seme years age. There is sympathy
for him and it geos u great
way. Willi Levi te start with as his friend
he will get u fair share, If net the ontlre
Bull Ring faction. If Keller should be
deserted by this faction the fight will be
between Sides and Shirk. The latter is a
shrewd politician and has been MentzeHs
right hand man for years and of ceurse
will receive his support. With the excep
tion of Martlu, the home or Deputy Arm
strong, who is a candidate, Sides will be
strong in the south, and tils friends are will
ing te go for any candidate who will help
him.
The contest for register or wills has net
developed sufficiently te form any conclu
sion. Geyor appears te have the best of it,
by reason of a sympathy for him, he hav
ing been through se many campaigns.
Aldus C. Herr Is making au actlve canvass
and se is J. A. Soltenbergor, of Upper
Leacock.
There Is an interesting fight for clerk of
the quarter sessions between Mart Fry,
Chas. M. Strine, II. F. W. Urban and T. K.
SwelgarU Urban mid Swelgart train with
the Heg Ring crowd (uud Fry and Ktrine
with the ether fellows. Swelgart Is being
pressed for the combination, but Urban
will get there, and en the ether sldeStrlne's
father, the ex-sheriff, wants him slated,
and Fry's friends demand his name en the
Bull Rlug slate.
With Strino in the field Fry will leso
several hundred votes in Columbia that
would go te him, with Strlue out or the
contest. If both remain In the field Urban
is in the fight,
I. N. S. Will, of Elliabcthtewn, has the
best of the contest fur cleric of tlie orphans'
court at the present tiuie, and It leeks as If
he would be a winner. Chaplain Leenard
expects te get there, but the chaplain will
be left.
Fer treasurer there will be only two
candidates, H. S. Martin and Thee. Hies
land. Martin Is the candidate of the Heg
Ring party, and Illestand of the ether.
Commissioner Gingrich Intended te be a
candidate, and was urged by many warm
friends te be nue, but he could net see his
way clear. The contest between the two
parties above-named will show the strength
of the respective factions.
There are six candidates for the two
offices or county commissioners. A. 11.
Werth is the only present member who Is
a candidate for ro-electiou. Fer many
years it has been the practlce te continue
one or the old oeiumUilonera. There ap
pears i'e be geed reason for this. With a
full beard of new members It would take
mouths for the commissioners te leant the
many details of ihe office, aud the public
would be Inconvenienced. With this In
LANCASTER, PA., TUESDAY,
favor of Mr. Werth te start with, he Is a
strong candidate.
Of the remaining candidates, Benjamin
Hershey, who made a strong fight three
years age, has many friends, and It leeks
like Werth and Heisliey en one of the
mmliltiftMnnt.
Calvin Carter, who was for three terms a'
prison Inspector, new wants te be a com.
mlsstener. The faction he has trained with
for many years will support him. This
faction's choice for second man will be
determined by circumstances. It may be
Reyer or Armstrong.
Fer coroner one faction will run Levi W,
Greff and Uie ethor old Danny Shifter.
The ether candidates are Heneman for n
third term, D. B. Keplinger and Isaae M.
Brubsker.
The lutontien of E. K. Martin's political
enemies, as te delegates te the state conven
tion, is kept very quiet. They de net want
te allow Martin te have them without a
contest and are almost afraid te go Inte a
tight. Martin's friends throughout the
county have created a sentiment In his
favor, It being the first time that Lancaster
county bad an opportunity of naming a
man en the state ticket. With the boom
hlsnowspaper trlends have given him It
will be difficult te defeat his delegates, and
It leeks as If he would be allowed te name
the man te go te the convention te vote for
the candidates already slated by Quay.
Some of the men opposed te Martin want
te see him en the ticket he that thev will
'have a chance te knife htm In Novembor.
The contest for senator in the Nerthern
district Is a fight between Win Smith and
Christ KaufTman, and it has bocemo se
through the candidacy of Stebor and 1111 1111 1111
llngfo'.t.whe are culling each ether's threats
In a Moctlen or the county wheroelthor
would be strong. KaufTman has the pros pres pros
tleo or Columbia's almost solid vote te start
with, and ir he getsnny kind of a vote In
ether parts or the district he has a chance
Smith Is a werker, and in his end of the
county will poll a big vete. The with
drawal of olther Stebor or llllllngfelt would
put a diflerent phase en the contest.
Fer assembly nothing is yet determined
and will net be for a few weeks.
The Intki.i.!uknckr will from time te
time publish a review or the situation,
gathered from the best sources obtainable,
and en the Monday beforetbe primary will
have reports from every olectlen district el
the county giving a general resume or
what has been done nnd what will be dene
by the township besses.

has few suiierlers in this country. He has
had a number of displays at his hotel
during the past few years, and many
of out citizens will romember the ene
that he gave In the centennial year.
All the tlrowerks that he sends
elf are or his own manufacture.
He does net make thorn te soil, but simply
for his own amusement mid that or his
friends. It was the Intention of Mr.
Klrcher te have an elegant display last
night, and for some time past he has been
busy manufacturing pieces or all kinds.
A stand was erected in the street, but,
owing te the very dlsagreeable woather,
it was thought host te postpeno the
display until this ovenlng, when it
will take place if the woather
will permit. Although the fireworks did
net get off last night Mr. Kircher had
another trout In store for his friends.
During the evening everybody that was
present rat down te an excellent supper,
which had been prepared by and was In

PASSED BY THE SENATE.
TIE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL AFP10TED
BY A VOTE OF TO l.
Seme Amendments Opposed and De
feated by Senater Itawley and Other
Itepnbt leans Previsions of the Hill.
The dependent pension bill was passed
by the Senata en Monday.
All the amendments proposed were
rejected, aud the bill was passed as reported
from the committee. The discussion ou
the amendments was llvely. Mr. Plumb's
provided ler removing the limitation as te
arrears of pensions making pensions en
account of wouiftlser inurlcs or dlscase
commenca from the death or discharge of
the soldier.
Mr. Plumb said that the commissioner of
pensions bad stated, seme weeks since,
that the cost of removing the limitation of
arrears of pension would be about $478,
000,000, and that the chairman of the Heuso
committee en pensions had estimated It at
$500,000,000. It would be souiewhero about
these figures.
Mr. Davis, chairman ofthe committee en
C enslens, said that that committee had new
efore It elght separate bills, oevorlng the
ontlre question or ponslen arrearages. The
commlttee had deemed It te be Its duty te
take up first the bill new under considera
tion, which steed first In the desires or
these who wero Interested in the matter of
pensions. That bill had been the objective
point of coneresslenal legislation for Iho
last three Congresses, and necessarily and
logically came tlrst In order. The amend
liient offered by the senater from Kansas
was en a different subject and coverod a
different topic, Introducing ethor consider
ations. Until the endlug bill was dis
posed of the commltteo had net foil froe te
report ou the ether tnalter.
Air. Ceck roll declared his conviction that
If (he estimate or the commissioner of pen
sions was $178,000,000. It would cost net a
dollar less than $000,000,000, and one-hair of
that sum would have te be paid out at the
llrst quarterly paymeut, ir the amend
ment were adopted there would have te be
some means provided for paying that
immense amount.
Mr. Blair favored the principle of Mr.
Plumb's amendment, but argued that It
should be brought forward as an Independ
ent measure, net as au amendment te the
pending bill. Thocest or the pending bill
had been ostimtted at $30,000,000, but he
should be very much disappointed If It did
tint cost twlce as much. There never was a
Juster measure than that for. the payment
or arrears of pensions. The question was
net whether the amount was large or small
but whether It was n deht. Why could it
net Ijo paid? Had the time passed when
the reptiblle was without credit te hlre the
nocessary money T Could net bends be Irf Irf
sued te pay the debt T It was time te call a
halt en all such low, selfish and devlllsh
considerations as were raised against the
payment of that debt. He might be will
ing te comprnmise en paying arrears for
fifteen years or for ten years. He thought
It very likely that the cost or arrears or
pensions would reach $000,000,000, aud It
might reach a billion.
Mr. Frye regretted that the amendment
was before the Seiiate, net that It placed
him In a position where he had te vete for
it or against it, but bocause it should
regard its adoption us a torrlble moil
ace te the soldiers of the country. He
hud held for u long whlle fund he bad un
dertaken te show It in addrosses te bodles
or seldlcss In his own state) that there
was a pnue tee rapid ultogethor for
their welfare and for their geed,
There was a danger or overleaping In the
matter or pensions. When Mr. Cioveland
commenced te veto ponslen bills the Demo
cratic party rail Hed what he did, and net
only the Democratic party, but many or
the busltiess moil In the Republican party,
tee. He said te sertaters who were press
ing the amendment that they wero Im
perilling the true inlorestsef the soldlers,
and wero creating prejudices against pen
sions. If the amendment were adopted and the
bill enacted Inte a law the soldlers who
looked forward te a service ponslen bill
would leek in vain. Hodureu net vote for
a preposition that that (he hcllevcd) would
be absolutely destructive te the host Inter
ests of the soldiers, aud he should be com cem com
pellod te vete " Ne" en the aiiteudineut.
Mr. Hawley ex pressed his persenal obli
gation te Mr. Frye for telling the serious
truth In the matter. He did net bolleve
that the American soldiers asked for that
amendment. He would stake his political
standing ou the assertion that, out or any
five hundred old soldlers. there would be
found a majority against it. Headlong ex
tra vugance would bring men into power
who would stint and smioer.o and deny the
soldier. There was a limit In the matter of
onsien legislation. He appealed te every
old selder te be reasonable and Just, The
American nation had certalnly net been
stingy. Pension expenditures for the next
year would amount te uearly $130,000,000.
Ne nation In the world had evor appre
prlatcd far Its soldiers a sum that could be
compared te that. He begged the old sol
diers te romembor that the objection te
getting into another war would be net the
cost of curry lng It en, but the consequences
of It ; and he also nsked them te remember
that tltose onertnous sums of money came
out or the pockets, very largely, or peeple
as peer as thcmselves. He told an anecdote
ofGcneral Grant ou the occasion of his last
visit te the capltnl. With his characteristic
modesty he kept out or the chamber uud
sal In ene of the cloak rooms, where almost
every senator visited him. He sat with
the accustomed cigar, and talked freely
en every question Introduced. lie
said that en his way te the cupitela clergy.
man cume te him asklnir him te sliru a
memorial asking tln.t every man who had
evor been a prisoner of war should be
pensioned. He had told the clergymau
that he ought te be in hotter business; that
there were all kinds or prisoners, some who
let themselves be caught easily, seme who
had a stomach ache or a sere tee when
u battle was in the air, and who worn
caught by a squad or rebel cavalry, and
seme who were caught ahead or the skirm
ish line. Seme of them hud a geed rest,
and were all the hotter for being prlsouers.
"I will tell yen," said (leueral Grant,
"what I would de If I were president. 1
would sign any reasonable bill te rellove
the distress of an houest old soldler, or of
his widow or children, but I would net
vete ene dollar te the able-bodied men."
"That last expression," said Mr.Hawley,
"sank Inte my memory. I llve up te that.
That Is my platform. I de net bolleve that
my state asks me te odd $500 000,000 te the
dohtef the republic. The theory of a pon pen pon
seon Is that It takes care of u mail who Is
te-day a tuderer by reason of his sorvlce
In the army, but net that It shall go back
10 or 15 or 20 years (when u man did net
apply for a pension) nnd pay him five or six
or ten thousand dollars. If we ure going
te spend $500,000,000 It would be better te
divide It pre rata and net threw It awuy ut
random. Aim as sharply as you can at
actual necessities uud take care of the old
Holdlern, bittdouutbestampoded by claims
ngents. De exactly what you think Is
goitereits and right and the country will
sustain you In It."
Mr. Vest ettered an amendment provid
ing that the meney necessary te meet the
appropriation under this bill shall be
raised by an lucome tax of 5 nor cent, en
Incomes between $2,000 and $5,000; 7i per
cent, between $5,000 and $10,000, and 10 iter
rent, ever $100,000.
Mr. Plumb offered au amendment te pay
a ponslen ef$8u month te all who served
W days In the late war who are 02 years of
uge, or as they attain that age. He said
that this wasjttst what Congress had dene
in regard te the soldiers of the Mexican
war, and that the additional amount that
would be necessary under It forthecomlng
year would be ubeut $10,000,000, which
amount, of ceurse, would goon Increasing
until the maximum would be reached In
1905.
After brief discussion of the two latter
amendments the bill was passed by the
following vote: Yeas Allen, Allisen,
Blair, Call, Casey, Chandler, Davis,
Dawes, Edmunds, Faulkner, Frye,
Gcerge, Gibsen, Hawley, Hearst, Hig

A D13A8THUUB WRECK.
Eight Big Ceal Cars Thrown Frem the
Tracks at ltohrerstewn.
The Pennsylvania railroad company had
another very disastrous freight wreck this
morning, it occurred Just east of the roll
ing mill at Rohrorstewn and but a short
distance from the station. Shortly before
llltie o'clock a freight train drawn by on en on
glne Ne. 1,382, drawing cars that were
mostly leaded with coal, was passing east
and just west of the station a brake
rigging, of ene or the "Jumbo" coal
cars felt, pleying great havoc It get under
neath the car wheels, and thstcaused the
breaking of an oxle. In a short space of
time, and bofero the train could be stepped,
eight of the largest kind of coal cars, with
their leads, were thrown from the track
nnd piled upon each ethor. The trucks
were tern from all of the cars, and
this had a bad effect urieu the
track. The rails of the south track were
tern up for a distance of 280 feet and these
of the north track for 180 feet. The Colum
bia and Parkesburg wrecking crews were
sent for te clear the tracks, which were net
only blocked with broken cars, but In some
places were coverod te the depth of
several feet with coat. The ears wero
nearly all very badlj broken nnd sev
eral wero pitched down an embank
ment en the north side of the tracks,
A large force of men are at work ou the
track this uftorneon and it was oxpccled te
have the tracks olearod and repaired In a
few hours. Frem the appearance or affairs
when the Intrllierncer reporter left the
place It did net seem prebable thut any
trains could imlss the place of disaster be
fore night.
The wreck caused a great delay te both
passenger and freight trains. Closely
following the freight Hint was wrecked was
Columbia Accommodation, due bore at 0
o'clock. When the passengers saw the
extent of the wreck a irrcat mauy''cv'.hem
started uud walked In the plke te VTC"V'.

Important first or April busineas here.
Otliers wero trunsforred after u long delay.
All passougers te and from Columbia slnee
the wreck have been transferred from
tralim which run te Iho wreck from Colum
bia and Lancaater.
Ezra Cockier, a brakeman en the
freight train which was wrecked, made a
narrow oscape from being killed. When
he saw that the cars would leave the track
he Jumped eir te save his lire. In se
doing lie bruised his legs and
body, aud seriously Injured one
knee cap. He was taken te the house
or Benjamin Leng, u relative, who resides
In tlie village nnd after receiving proper
attention he was taken te Falmouth where
his folks reside.
IN A UKPLOHAHLE CONDITION'.
The Terrible Experience efths Residents
et the Circle.
Sr. Leuis, April L Information from
what is known ns tlie Laceula C'lrcle, n sec
tion of country bctwcoiiHelona and Arkan
sas City, which is practically surrounded
by tbe Mississippi and Whlte rivers
Is te the effect that the peeple there ure In
a deplorable condition and suffering. The
water peured evor the loveosonall sldes
and In threo hours the circle waslllled
even with the surface of the riveis,
the water averaging eight feet deep.
This occurred se suddenly that the people
had no time te de anything. Tholrheuscs,
sleck end everything else they ewned was
in the water, and In seme cases swept awuy
before they realized what had happened.
The citizens of St. Holena sent the stoamer
Housten Coombs down there last Thurs
day a the roller beat te aid the
peeple. A correspondent ou beard
writes that when the stoamer arrived
ut the circle a number of houses
were found te have been blown off their
blocks or stilts mid otliers were badly ca
reened ever into the water. The poeplohud
been living in lefts In seme of the low
houses, and when theso cureoned, they
could only oscape by knocking holes In
the roers. Scveral peeple were blown
Inte the water aud swum te trees, where
they remained nil or lust Thursday
night, and u numborer cuttle were blown
from the levces aud drowned. On Friday
men went ever the whole ctrcle in skiffs
and transferred peeple from trees and
reefs te the glu-houses, which
are generally large and substantial
buildings. All theso houses ure new packed
with poeplo, two hundred persons being in
seme of thorn. The Coombs brought out ISO
people and 110 hcud of stock and took them
te Helena. When the Coombs cume out of
the circle the steamer Titan, with barges,
was going in, and It Is thought thut they
can bring out all the remaining stock aud
as many of the poeplo us dcslre te
get awuy. Many of the planters In the
circle are utterly ruined and tbe rcmalnder
have no seed te plant even should the
waters subslde In time te put In a crop.
The suffering has been and will be great,
and aid or ull kinds will be necessary te
carry peeple through their ailllcllen.
