Stockholders Agree te Increase the Cap
ital OO.OOO-VwriUea of the Lancas
trians Interested la the Factory;
After the adjournment of the antmil
meeting of the Keystone Standard Watch
company en Monday, Mr. Sltnpsen an
nounced that there would be a special
meeting and Invited the Lancaster stock steck stock
heldera te remain. They declined te de ae
with the exception of James B. Beet and J.
Frank Relit, who remained te see what
the Philadelphia contingent would de.
Mr. Slmpaen, who had the management
of the Philadelphia interest, presided.
A motion. waa made and adopted author auther
izlng the beard of director te lame pre
ferred stock te the amount of $200,000, te
bear 0 per cent, interest. This stock Is te
be put en the market en May 1, te be sold
for cash only and the money realized Is te
be devoted exclusively te the Improvement
of the plant, increasing its facilities.
The only vote against .the proposed In
crease was that of Mr. Best, who holds 10
shares of stock.' The vote cast In its favor
was 4,Gd3 shares held by the Philadelphia
interests.
It was also decided te Increase the num
ber of directors tenlne, one of whom shall
be a resident of Lancaster. The Lancaster
man booked for the place is said te be
Henry J. Cain, superintendent of the com
pany. The Philadelphia stockholders Ien for
home en the Day Express. They had in
tended taking some action te set aside the
Judgments confessed by Presldent Frank
lin and Treaturer Sener, but finally con
cluded te de nothing for the present.
It Is net the Intention of the Lancaster
banks te issue executions en their judg
ments at prosent, They will wait for some
action en the part of the Philadelphia stock
holders, execution te be issued by some
ether creditors, or action that may be taken
by the Lancaster stockholders.
The foremen of the several departments,
who have been retained since the factory
closed, were given their time checks en
Monday. Nearly all of them have placed
them In the hands of attorneys for colla
tion, and labor claims have been preferred
by Jehn E. Snyder, esq., who represents a
number of the empleyes, ready for filing
whenever execution is issued.
The prospects are net bright for an early
resumption of work and that Is evidenced
by the fotemen Beeking employment at
ether places. A number have secured em
ployment at ether watch factories and will
leave Lancaster during the week for their
new fields of labor.
The Lancaster stockholders are anxious
that work should be lemtned for the bene;
fit the plant Is te the city. When they
protested, as minority stockholders, against
stock being voted, of which there was no
record te show who were the actual stock
holders, their pretest should have been at
l.east respectfully listened te, but It was
net. The Philadelphia men at the meeting
appeared te have come here with the pur pur pur
pose of carrying out a pregramme agreed
upon, regardless of the wishes of the Lan
caster men, who had the best interests of
the company at lieart. If the works are
closed the responsibility appears te be the
result of mismanagement en the part of the
Philadelphia men, who sacrificed the In
tore its of the watch factory for theso of the
Keystone Watch Club company, In which
they were mero largely interested. .
The Watch Club Company Assigns.
The Keystone Watch Club company, 004
Walnut street, Philadelphia, en Monday
filed an assignment in the recorder's ofilce
te Lawyer Jehn McDonald.
Mr. McDonald stated that he had no Idea
of the amount of either assets or liabilities
and would net knew whet they were until
he bad taken charge. The assigument was
forced by the legal proceedings brought
last week and was the only way out of the
difficulties. The appointment of an ap
praiser will fellow upon Mr. McDonald
taking charge.

Oh or the Beat Minstrel Troupes la the
Ceantry Faratsh Fun and Maslc.
Lancaster people knew geed min
strel troupe when they see one, and such
fine companies as that of Primrose A West
are a novelty in amusements here. When
this big company epsned at the opera house
last evening the house was se crowded that
breathing room oeuld searesly be had.
They gave sn excellent entertainment
throughout sad sverybedy was pleased.
The first part showed the principal mem
bers of the company. All were sttlred in
suits of satin, snd the stage setting waa
very rich. The end men were in black
Acs and the musicians and singers In
whit. Lew DecksUderend Geerge Prim
rose were the principal end men, and
their fun was appreciated. The former's
song, "It couldn't occur in this town," was
very funny. Ballads' by Messrs. Natus,
Davis, Le Mack, Moere and Samuels were
very pleasing snd the choruses wen ap
plause. W. II. Wert's "Cremation" act
which opens the second part, is quite funny,
and Barber, who folio wr,doessemo wonder
ful work en bleycles, wagon wheels, e.
"The promenade of the Popinjays" Is a
march that was arranged by Barney
Fagan, the dancer, and it is something
fine. Mr. Fagan also leads the song and
dance "The Language of Flowers." In
this Mr. West Is seen, but Primrose, who
new wears a Ne. 10 hat, Is net. The Wes Wes
eon brothers de a musical act that they
make awfully funny. Lew Dockstader
made the hit of the evening In his quaint
little speech te the audience. lie Is a very
original man, always brimful of wit. His
local hits, especially these in which he
nipped the se-called Law and Order busi
ness en the nose, caught the house. Dock
stader is a peculiar but very funny come
dian, and, Judging from his speech, he
learned much of Lancaster during his
short stay here. The Big Four are always
funny, and they wound up the show with
their startling act "The Haunted Mill." It
is doubtful if a better minstrel company
have ever appeared in Lancaster, and
nothing but words of praise were heard for
It en all aides.
Cbarles Smith, a very popular bass
player, who is well known in Lancaster,
where he has many friends, is a mem mem mem
borefthe minstrel company. The musi
cians here, especially these who have been
in the show business, saw that he did net
sutler ler want of being shown around.

woman who was charged with stealing the
money of Paul Kapferer, a very green
young man, who says he comes from New
Yerk, was taken te Alderman Halbach
after her arrest. She and Kapferer had a
talk and she was thou discharged, as thore

anything wrong whatever. Thore are a
great many people who doubt whether
Kapferer had the amount of money that he

he did net lese It with the girls. In one
thing everybody is unanimous and that Is
that the man made an ass of himself by

The Msa Who Had Intention or Doing
Battle With thai Congressmen Most
en Monday te Consider Chances.
Ne one has yet been found willing te
enter the race against Mr. Breaius for con
gressional honors. Several names war
considered en Mendsy by theso politicians
who want te beat Breslus, but an agree
ment could net be 'reached.
Jeseph C. Walker, of Gap, would like te
be a candidate. It Is thought he Is net
sufficiently known te warrant his candi
dacy. Dr. P. J. Roebuck, or Llttts, would be
willing te run, but the politicians think he
is tee well known.
Ex-Commlsslener Myers wasceiistdered
te be the most avallable candidate. He
will net announce unless he is sure 'of the
active support of the friends of Walker snd
Roebuck, and that could net be premised
him.
With less than three weeks until the
primary election, Mr. Myers Is net anxious
te enter the race at thts late day, because
he would net have the time te make such a
canvass of the county,as should be made te
win. ir be had been censulted earlier in
the campaign be would have announced
and been a very formidable candidate.
He may announce in a day or two, but It
is mere than prebable that Breslus will
have a clear fleld.
Very little was accomplished In the for
mation of combinations en Monday. By
the end of the week the greater part of the
combinations will be agreed upon and
early next week the Inteli.ieenckh will
tell Its readers what has been done by the
faction bosses.
DOM1NICK M'CAFFBEY I1EATJSN.
Jamw Cerbett, the Yeung Cnltfernlan,
Had Decidedly tbe Better or a Throe Threo Throo
Reund Gleve Fight.
James Corbett's chances with Jehn L.
Sullivan are quoted at par lu New Yerk,
and theso who asserted that the Caltfernlan
defeated Jake Kllraln by a "fluke" are
new inclined te think otherwise. Demiuick
McCaffrey, who once made such a go with
the mighty Jehn L. that it took the referee
threo days te decide the winner, waa en
Monday night bested with consummate
ease by Cerbett at the Fifth Avenue Casine
In Brooklyn.
McCaffrey weighed about 175 pounds,
and he stands 5 ieet, 8 Inches high. He
Is 27 years old. Corbett Is 23 years of age,
stands 0 feet and I an inch high, and weighs
195 pounds. McCaffrey were flesh colored
tights, and loekod the picture of a graceful
athlete. Cerbett wero a dirty white sleeve
less shirt.
Time was called at half-past 10 o'clock.
Corbett's guard Is erect, and he holds his
hands well up. He looked the picture of a
natural fighter as he awaited McCaffrey's
attack. McCaffrey was cat-like In his
movements and as restless as a panther.
McCaffrey was the first te lead a light left
bander for his opponent's bead. The spec
tators were looking for the smash te land,
but Corbett's wiry arm barred its way and
a streak of white light flashed toward Mo Me
Caffrey'a head. It was a swinging left
hand counter, and " Mae" ducked It beau
tifully. Corbett then tried a left hand
lead and it caught "Mae" bang en the
right ribs.
Such leads and steps, such counters,
such ducking were never seen before The
Caltfernlan let go hard with his long left,
and it landed plumb en McCaffrey's nose,
and he sniffed as it knocked his head back.
McCaffrey let go ene of his old-time knock
out swinging rights for counter that would
have paralyzed Corbett had It landed, but
Corbett was net thore.
A Bharp rally, seme het exchanges close
In, an abertive attempt at uppercuttlng en
Corbett's part, and they wero clinched as
time was called.
In the second round the Caltfernlan was
overconfident, and he caught a resounding
bang en the chin, which "Mnc's" friends
applauded loudly. Corbett tried te
counter, but his right hand went wide of
bis opponent's Jaw.
There was hardly any feinting as they
came te the centre for the third round,
Corbett let go almost as quickly as they
came within striking distance, and caught
McCaffrey a staggerer en the nose. Mac's
counters failed te reach, and twice mere
the Callfernlan's left found a resting place.
McCaffrey's nese was trickling bleed and
his own gloves showed crimson dabs, but
he did net sail in. Seme thought hi in tee
cautious. McCaffrey recovered and get in
en Corbett's face, though net very effec
tively. Corbett settled down te his work the
next minute and get decidedly the best of
the long-range shots. McCaffrey seemed
te grew suddenly tired, and weakened
perceptibly unuer uerbeirs hammering.
McCaffrey landed en Corbett's nese with
his left, but was heavily cress-countered.
Corbett rushed his man te the ropes and
tried uppercuttlng, but " Mac" was still
quick en bis legs and clinched skillfully.
Cerbett brekn nway and rushed in, using
both hands effectively. Cerbett banged
McCaffrey into his cerner and out of it ;
then fought him Inte the ropes en the press
gallery side of the hall. The round ended In
McCaffrey's corner, with Deminlck bleed
ing and tired, Corbett fresh and smiling.
The teforeo declared Cerbett the winner.

UNCLE SAM'S MONEY BOX.
Treasurer Husten Learns That It Can
Be Quite Easily " Cracked. "
Washington Dispatch te Philadelphia Recerd.
The treasurer of the United States has
asked the Heuse committee en appropria
tions te put through the Heuse immedi
ately a special appropriation te enable him
te strengthen the old treasury vaults. In
which ere deposits aggregating 1600.000,000.
He had experiments made recently, his
suspicions having been aroused as te the
security of the vaults, whleh are of a style
twenty-five years old. His expert bored
a hole through the vault wall In seventeen
seconds, and made the hole large enough
te crawl through in seventeen minutes.
Practically the contents of the vaults were
at his disposal, Including 150,000,000 In
greenbacks In a corner six feet square.
The committee, en receiving this start
ling information, told Treasurer Husteu
te go ahead and prepare estimates, prom prem
ising te put through the Heuse Immedi
ately any appropriation deemed necessary.
The treasurer is new preparing estimates.
Meanwhile the treasury guards hsve been
doubled.
The total amount of the funds for which
Treasurer Husten is responsible Is about
1770,000,000. Of this amount about 1170,
000,000, chiefly In silver, Is In the new
steel silver vault, the remainder being In
the old treasury vaults which It Is new
proposed te repair and strengthen. Treas
urer Husten does net think much or the
new steel silver vault ; but, as It Is rather
difficult te carry off the cart-wheel dollars.
It does net make se much difference about
this vault. But In the old treasury vault
are miscellaneous moneys, geld, sllver.
greenbacks, etc., which could be carried
off, and Treasurer Husten Is unwilling te
carry this risk lenger without trying te
strengthen the vault walls.
The treasury watchmen have always
been noted for their Integrity snd fidelity,
but If by political Influence (their position
net being protected by the civil service
Isw) two or three expert cracksmen could
be gotten en the force, or If the cracksmen
could get Inte the treasury at night en an
empleye's pssa, or in any ether way, less
than half an hour's work en the old trees
usy vault would give them the biggest for
tune in tbe world if they get away with
nothing but the greenbacks.
The treasurer's examination of the vault
and his recemmendstlen te the committee
en appropriations have been kept pro
foundly secret, even from all but the five
members of the committee who would have
special charge of the matter under the com
mittee's decision.
Treasurer Husten almost Jumped out of
his chair wben he was asked about It Mon
day afternoon. Directing his messenger,
who was blotting his mail as the troasurer
signed It, te leave the room and close the
deer, he proceeded te Interview the inter
viewer as te hew be get tbe news, which
he thought he bad kept profoundly secret.
Of course, he did net learn anything t but
seeing that the Intervlewer had the facts,
he admit ted that It was all true, but begged
that it should net be published, lest it create
an unnecessary sensation. But the Inter
viewer had te tell him that he could net
keep an open secret, and se tbe story gees.
A fSO.OOO FUND FOR MR8. RANDALL.
That Bnm Invented In Trust fbr the
Widow of the Dead Statesman.
Tbe best energies of Mr. Randall's llfe
having been deveted unselfishly te the
public service, he was net able te accumu
late for his family such a competence as
would undoubtedly have fallen te him
had he devoted bis talent te private gain.
Mr. Randall's friends in Philadelphia
recognized this a year age when his Illness
assumed an alarming phase and It became
ovldeut that his days were numbered.
The heuse In Washington where the
family reslde is owned by Mrs. Randall,
but the dead congressman's estate would
scarcely be sufficient te keep herself and
children In the station fitting the exalted
memory of the dead statesman. Accord
ingly, a purse was raised by a number of
Philadelphlans, Geerge W. Child and A.
J. Drexel taking a leading part In the
movemont. It is understood that (30,000
was raised.
This meney Is new Investcd in trust for
the benefit of Mrs. Randall, and at her
death the lncome Is te be divided among
the children, the principal still being held
in trust. The lncome from the fund Is
nearly $2,500 a year, the rate of Interest
being low, as the securities are the safest
that could be obtained. There Is already
a large amount of lncome en hand which
will be paid ever te Mrs. Randall at ence.

Many Firms Clese CentractsThe Trans
actions in New Leal Net Quite aa
Great as Several Woeks Age.
The local leaf tobacco market wan very
brisk the past week. The sales were about
2,000 cases, of whleh Sklles A Frey sold
ISO cases and Seaehrlst, of Silver Spring?,
sold 200 cases. Geed business was also
done by a number of ether packers.
The buying of the crop or '89 tobacco is
still going en, but the buying Is net aa
active aa before April 1st, because farmers
are holding their tobacco for higher prices.
A gentleman familiar with the tobacco
business efthe county states that It Is his
Judgment that one-half of the crop has beeu
bought. He has seen much of the tobacco
bought and packed and the reports te him
are that less damaged tobacco was found
this season than for several years. Hew It
will cure is a question that cannot be de
termined until early fall.
New Yerk Tobaeoo Market.
Frem the U. B. Tobacco Journal,
The rush of activity which has prevailed
for the past two weeks In our market has
new calmed de wn te a certain extent. The
big sales have dropped with the return of
the out-of-town buyers te their domestte
penates, and the market has again assumed
its even tenor of regular transactions. In
seed leaf Wisconsin and Onandaga D'a sre
still taking the lead, although the '68 Penn
sylvania Is by no means neglected. New
England goods are held back for the pur
pose of realizing higher prices under a
mero favorable market. The transactions
In seed amounted te about 800 cases.
Through the tariff agitation the Sumatra
has become a speculative article. Helders
are net nearly as anxious te dispese of
their stock as tbey were two or three
months age. The selling at any price has
ceased and an advance of goods In goneral
la noticeable.
Frem the Tobacco Leaf,
A brisk week for all kinds of leaf can be
reported. If business continues at the
present rate, the market will seen be bare
of old stock. Activity prevails In the
growing sections, but prices are net en the
advance.

JEFFERSON AND RANDALL.
Yeung Democrats Hener the Memery
or Statesmen.
The Yeung Men's Domecretlo society
celebrated the birthday of Jeffersen en
Monday night with surprising enthusiasm.
The officers of the club and tbe speakers of
the evening were astonished attboslzeof
the crowd that assembled in splte of the
rival attractions of a minstrel troupe and a
Maonnercher entertainment. Tben Clarence
Dennelly took his seat at the grand piano,
recently purchased by the club, and stirring
melodies went rolling ever the heads of the
assemblage and through the open windows
te the crowded streets, whero passers by
heard and remembered that this was the
birthday of the Immortal Jofforsen, author
of the constitution, founder of the Demo
cratic party.
President G cer go N. Reynelds tben In
troduced D. F. Magee, esq., of White
Reck, a gentleman neted throughout the J
county for his successful tariff debates
during the lest presidential campaign. Mr.
Magee compllmentod thoyeung Democrats
upon their zeal and congratulated them en
the election of Mayer Clark. He warmly
defended politic as worthy of the best
efforts of honest and patriotic men. People
often speak with contempt of the politicians
but ir citizens would de their duty In
politics, and at the prlmarles espcc'ally,
thore would be no cause for shame. Busi
ness men should take an interest in politi
cal matters, they should erganize and go st
the work as they would any buslness en
terprise, and Instead of sneerlng at the
politicians, tbey should lend their influ
ence te the development of a better state
of things. In Jeffersen Demecrats have
a spendld example of a patriot In politics,
and In struggling for the triumph of Jef Jef
fersenlan principles tbey noed net be
ashamed of politics or of party. He was
glad te see this teciety se prosperous snd
sctlve, and told them all te leek out for
Cleveland In 1892.
William R. Brlnten, esq., delivered a
brief but stirring eulogy or Jeffersen and
went en te speak In warm terms efthe Iste
Samuel J, Randall, a man and a statesman
of rigid honesty and the first ability, faith
ful te Democratic principles throughout a
busy life and recognized by friends and
fees as a wlce and honorable man. Mr.
Reynolds also spoke of Mr. Randall's death
and said that a series or articles would be
prepared and offerod at tbe next meeting
in respect te his memory. Mr. Randall's
letter scceptlng honorary membership In
the society would be framed and hung In
the rooms.
Tbe speeches wero well recelved and
after a half hour of social conversation the
crowd dispersed.
The Colloge Troubadours.
The Franklin and Marshall Colloge Olue
and Mandelin clubs gave a very successful
entertainment en Friday last at Kutztown,
Pa. The concert, which was sung te about
five hundred people In the Nermal school
chapel, was considered the finest musical
entertainment ever given lnitbst town.
The boys sang part of their new repertoire
which is te be given In Columbia next
Friday and later In Lancaster. The new
selections are considered even prottler than
theso the club has beeu singing for tbe past
few months. After the concert eight or
ten of the leading citizens wero sorenaded.
The morning befere departing the F. and
M. boys sang a collego song and a glee lute
the phonograph of Prof. Rebrbach. A
special car was kindly furnished both ways
by the Reading railroad officials. This
was decked with streamers In the college
colors, blue snd white. The remaining
concerts arranged will be sung at Columbia,
MyMt9Wi MUlrsvUla and Lancaster.
SAWXELLK'd CONFESSION.
He
Says That Klther Dr. Bleed or
"Jack" Killed Hiram.
Isaac Sawtelle, In his confession, said he
had had Dr. Bleed's own handwriting for
the proof that Hiram waa killed In a strug
gle, during which mero than Intended
violence was used by either he or "Jack"
te prevent Hiram from gaining his liberty.
" The conspiracy," he said, " was planned
by Bleed, assented te by me, directly fur
thered by bis companion, and Indirectly by
a friend In Lewell."
According te agreement Isaae Bleed waa
te get 500 for his part in the conspiracy,
and he (Isaac) gave him $100 cash and a
note for MOO, payable In weekly Instal
ments of 25. He claims that Mr. Richard
son, or Lewell, at whose heuse be stepped
en his way te Rochester, N. II., with his
niece, gave him the pills, which he after
Wards gave tbe girl, and that the pills wero
harmless, only causing a sickness which
served as an excuse te decoy Hiram te
Rochester, and that he (Isaae) told Richard
son of the Intended operations against
Hiram. Isaae says that Bleed wrote him
a letter at Rochester, giving him Instruc
tions te drive from Rochester te sn old
house near Sprlngvale, Maine, where he
would find a party te whom he was te pay
the instalment or the note, then due. The.
latter also requested him te bring a spade.
He drove te the house en the Tuesday be
fore the murder, where he found " Jack,"
who requested him te brlngan axe, with
which te cut weed for Ores, aa he said
Bleed and he were going te be prepared te
remain all winter, if necessary, te get
Hiram te sign the paper givingup all claim
te the property. "Jack" also wanted a
spade and plck-axe, which he said would
have a part In the plan against Hiram,
but, as Isaae says, he suppesed for ocular
effect only. On Wednesday Isaae says
he dreve Hiram te the same spot,
where Jack met them and told Isaae te
go for a doctor, whlle he dreve Hiram te
the heuse whero he oxpected te find
his sick daughter. Isaae left the car
riage, and Jack roturned It te htm about an
hour and a-half later. Isaae tlien dreve
Jack about threo miles up tbe Sprlngvale
read, where Jack left the carriage with a
bag which he bad In behind, and which
Isaae thinks contained Hiram's clothes and
head. He claims that be did net see Dr,
Bleed at Sprlngvale, nor has he seen him
or Jack since the disappearance of Hiram.

The general merchandising business that
has been carried en by McSparrans, at
Fairfield, for half a century, has goneinto
new bands, their successors being Mrs. M.

millinery department and dress making Is
conducted by Miss Florence Kelley.
Tbe canning factories of McSparran A
Ce., at Fairfield and Quarryvllle, will net
be operated tills year, Mr. McSparran ex
pecting te spend the year In the Seuth.
Mr. Heffman, of May town, recelved a
large quantity of tobacco at Peach Bettem
last Friday. The low prices received by
tbe farmers for their crops or tobacco are
unsatisfactory, nnd if it was net for the
necessity that cempels them te continue at
everything that promlses any return,
tobacco glowing in many cases would be
abandoned. Farmers were never se peer
as new. Plenty of Interest money due en
April 1st has net been paid, and many a
store and mill and shop bill is getng ever
another year. Our farmers are frugal and
industrious and make overy dollar count,
but after all, a dollar only buys a dollar's
worth of taxed goods.
The warm wluter has caused our cream
ery men te buy ice. C. P. Gregg, of Peters
Creek creamery, and Mr. E. L. McSparran,
of Geshen, have each bought a car of man
ufactured ice from Philadelphia, costing
them lu their houses about seven dollars a
ten. Mr. McSparran has put a large re re
frlgcrater and cold storage room in his
creamery.
Rev. Mr. Cartueltzer, minister of Fulton
