TIE Tli Assistance-Given by Citizen and , Wfeatl Required te Ceaduct It Sat- lstacterlly TH 0eer Reelected The annual meeting of Ilia beard of managers of the Ann 0. Wltmer Heme for Widow and A Red Maiden Ladle, of Lancaster, was held at the home en Mon day afternoon and Mr. W. M. Nerln, president or the beard, read the following repert: It is with no small satisfaction, that as the beard of managers of the Ann O. Wlt mer Heme meet en this, the anniversary of the foundation of this institution, te re port, in its management, the work of the Mrst year and present at the same time te our citizens, te whose benevolence it be longs, the condition of Its affairs. Our age is truly one of rapid progress in the ap pliance of the elements of nature and the principles of science and art te the service of man; and naturally as cities and com munities we are vleing with each ether in the attainment of the highest perfection in all that relates te the material Interests of mankind. But Christianity is ever en the alert te raise above all these perishing inter ' ests the enduring monuments of Christian love and philanthropy, whose Influence se ennobles and returns te bless in the beauti ful heaven-born qualities of heart and mind which it inspires and dovcleps. Truly is the exercise of love and mercy "twice blessed, for it blesseth him that gives and him that takes." Hew cheering te the watchman of the yet dark night of the world's redemption te boheldthe rising up of the noble Institutions of our day l We have many In enr own midst of which we may well be proud, and In whose history we may take ceurage and learn lessens of faith, self-sacrifice and pationce. Within the time of my residence in Lan caster many noble workers In lis objects of benevolence have finished their labors and gene te the blessed reward of theso who bave served their Lord. Prominently among them I knew you will all Jein me, heart and soul, in tribute te the sacred memory of Miss Mary Bewman, whose untiring labors,seen and unseen in her day and new carried en by ethers, continue te comfort and bless. At the east end of our city stands that noble monument of her work, the Children's Heme. Toher name, as a kindred spirit, I would add that of ene still living, Miss Mary Bryan, whose borne we are proud te claim was Lancaster, and where for many years she devoted herself te its work of benevnlence with that unllagglng zeal and luber she transferred te anether home In the western part of our state, where she still lnbers,a burning and shining light In the Christian world. Were- this thotlme and place we might proudly and gratefully speak of the many neble women new for warding Lancaster's numerous objects of benoveionco. I have been led te speak of theso mentioned as "footprints en the sands or t Ime" that may stimulate and on en courage us as we stand at the threshold e' a new enterprise in our city's Christian work. The appointment of trustees by the court te execute the will of Mr?. Wltmer regarding the Heme for Vldews and Aged Maiden Ladies of Lancaster; the organization of a beard of managers for the home, the fram ing of a constitution and by-laws was all fiubllshed as the several mevements ransplred and need net be repeated In my report. The amount bequeathed four thousand dollars had by May, 1889, grown te eight thousand, which was the sole caplt il en band te begin the work designed in the bequest. In June,18S9, a beautiful preperly, susceptible of such enlargement and adaptability te its purpose as was deemed necessary, was purchased by the trustees. A story was immediately adjed te the building, followed by the renovation of the whele house. As a beard we well knew hew much devlslng and arrang ing was preliminary te opening the doers of the Wltmer Heme, fully equipped for the beautiful mission designed by the tender theughtfulness and generous Im pulse of its benevolent projector and feundress. By Nevember 1st, 1889, the addition te the heuse and the painting and papering being completed, a matron was selected and employed. The beard of managers then turned te the citizens of our city in an appeal for aid in the furnish ing i f the home. This was responded te with a liberality, and Interest which. If an earnest of the future of the home in the hearts of the eople of our city, we as a beard need net falter In that trust, which Inspired us te open and start this institu tion in the faith or their Christian spirit and liberality. The entire house, I may almost say, 'lias been furnished by the ladies of l-uneasler with a generosity and geed taste, that new, as a completed thing, it presents a beautiful and attractive interior, embedying all the external fea tures of comfortable and pleasing home. Although thus far fully prepared te re ceive inmates, and open the Ann C. Wit mer Heme, our income was felt Insuffi cient te meet the current exponses of the institution for the few inmates in immediate prospect. This dictated as a temporal- measure the taking of boarders, Cut sucu eniy irem among mose apply ing who would meet ill their circum stances the essential particulars that mark the design of the institution and thas in no way perverting its intention. We have found the measure se far te have met the desired aim and in every way en tirely satisfactory, but it is the design of the beard of managers te discontinue the admission or boarders, if the reasons of the measure be removed by the liberality of the community, se seen as thenumboref permanent inmates received shall require the room new occupied by them. We new have five inmates and flve boarders; in this number we have almost already reached the limits of our accom modation in rooms, of which we must here speak as being all alike, particularly pleas ant in our building in their beautiful out look, from every point of the compass, ever the charming country within the range of vision in this "West End." With all our expenditure in the picparntionefthe Heme and the income necessary fonts working since its opening, we find ourselves finan cially in satisfactory condition for this our nrsl yeir. as a uearu ei managers we gratefully acknowledge the warm and gen erous response of our city en donation day, at Christinas, and the continued man ifested Interest in the report of the matron each week of some remembrance of the Institution by some of its friends. The home is open te visitors every Thurs day afternoon. We invite and urge our citizens te come see It and be bo be ceme acquainted with its management, through which we shall hope te enjoy their approval and confidence and se com mand its interest te their benevolence. This new Christian work in our midst has been founded by one of Lancaster's es teemed women, but it new stands before our city, in all the force of its claim and beauty of Its mission, for permanent estab lishment and support. The beard is new making their appeal for annual subscrip tions, which must be mainly our support, until these anions us. or elsewhere, liber ally inclined and blessed with means, may remember the Institution in such gener ous bequests, or, better still, following the advice aud example of the noble philan thropist, Andrew Carnegie, during their lives se endow it as te secure beyond all anxiety or its friends and- managers the necessary income for its support and maintenance. A review of the work and results of the first year Is auspi cious of all Imped for by its friends. It is undertaken In the filth of that Christian culture in our midst, which will welcome this needed institu tion and take it under Its festering cure. Will this be realized T Let our citizens say.

THE TOBACCO MAUKKT. Eight Hundred Cases geld During- tbe Week-Packers Pleased With the New Crep. The sales ofleaftebaoco in old goods the past week aggregate about 800 case. Nearly all were by city dealer te New Yerk packers. The only sale from the country reported I a packing of 37 case of M. G. Pelfer te Walter Kendlg. There are still a few buyers In the county picking up scattering let of tobacco, but about all that can be purchased ha been bought. Of the unsold crops of geed to bacco buyers say that they cannot afford te pay the price asked and the peer tobacco la net wanted at any price. A few of the warehouses have finished packing of tbe 'HO crop, and at the ethers a large force of men is t work, getting the work boxed as rapidly as possible. Tbe packers ss a rule are of opinion that the '89 crop will turn out all right and net them a handsome profit. New Yerk Marfeet. Frem the U. 8. Tobacco Journal. The rash In the market Is still for Suma tra. About 1,600 bales were cleared off the old stock the past week. Seed leaf Is given completely the cold shoulder, beoausebuy beeausebuy era are straining their utmost credit te lay in a stock of Sumatra te last them for two years te come. At least In our market, which rules the country, tbe enly visible and tangible effect of the prospective $2 duty has been a general scramble for Suma tra and a total ignoring of the seed leaf. "Even the Havana market Is suffering un der this rush for " the foreign Interloper." This proves conclusively that our manu facturers de net take any stock in tbe pre dictions that the $2 duty will Increase the price of the domestle leaf; otherwlse they would Just as well provide themselves with a supply of tbe domestle stock at current firlces as they de with Sumatra.

TRAGIC FATE OF A YOUNG MAN. He Is Crushed Between and a Car and a Platform at the Freight Warehouse William Buffington, a young freight brakeman of the Pennsylvania railroad, met with a horrible death at the freight warehouse of the company In this city Monday evening. The young man was attached te a train drawn by engiue Ne. 1,383 last evening, which was going west. The train stepped at the freight station te take en seme cars and Buffington went back te de some work. He was en the south side of the waroheiiBO plalf.irm, and tt tempt! te sand between It and the platforms. The space Is net large enough ler a man, and when the train pulled out Buffington was caught and rolled along, having the life squeezed out of him. Several of the warehouse men and ethers wltnessed the accident and they succeeded In having the cars stepped, but net until tee late. They ran te where Buffington was and found that he was yet alive. A stretcherwas sent ferte the station, but by the time it arrived the young man bad breathed his last. The body was placed upon the stretcher and carried te the bsggage room in tbe station.

Aaren Hauensteln, conductor of the train, testified that be told the young man te get en the front platform of the train and apply the brake when it was time and he (tbe conductor) would cut the car off.

A Game In Which Vmplre Tayler Was a Decided Feature On Monday afternoon the Alteena base ball club made Its first appearance la Lan caster, and owing te the net that Mauager Zoclier, Gibsen and Hahn. of the club, are Lancaster boys the people hare a warm footing for them. There was falr-slied audlence present. Fer the most part the game was quite Interesting and the principal feature of it was the umpiring of Tayler, This tnau may mean all rlght,but If ha doe,he knows nothing. In the eighth Inning yesterday Gill was doing some splendid work, lie stele down te second easily and made his way te thl rd In the same manner. He was en the bag before Aloett had tbe ball, yet Tayler declared htm out. The mistake of the umpire was se apparent that people could scarcely belleve It when Gill was called In. After that the crowd made It very het for the auburn-haired man. There is no doubt that the decision had a bad effect upon tbe game, as far as the Actives were concerned, for their number of runs would surely nave boeu greater bad it net been made. Davis started out te pitch for the home team, but the visitors were net long in get ting their eyes en the ball, which every one of them pounded in three In nings, and did net let up until they scored nine runs. Davis, wss then sent te the bench, and young Snyder took bis place. A step was put te the run getting at ence, as but three scattering bits were made off Snyder, and they were no geed for runs. Jenes, the best pitcher of the Alteena, was In the box and tie was net hit se hard until tbe latter part of the game. In the third Inning the Altoenas soemed rattled and two of the runs of the Artlvowere scored en four error with ene ball. Tbe Lancas ter contingent of the Alteena did geed work, Gibsen leading the club with the stick. In the third inning Cress, the home short step.was hurt and had te be taken off.

They Attack Timethy nnd Art or Kattiig Atl Day Pans theNlft-htlnthoGreund. Where They Arts Numerous, Farmers from the southern and eastern ends of Uiis county report that a peculiar worm has made Its appearance In their hay field. The irrass, especially timothy, Is being injuredsomewhst by tilts pest. Dr. 8. 8. Rathven says that "the Insect that was se destructive te the grass years age was a species of leucanta, allied te the common 'army worm.' Paris green, or Londen purple, applied In the usual luanner, I suppose would Imi effectual, " Admonish the farmers te send speci mens of the worm te the agricultural de partment at Washington city. This Is all I can say without seeing the worm," MenK about tub rRsT, Frem the Philadelphia Recerd, The tribulations which lioset the farmers of Southeastern Pennsylvania seem te be legion, The potato bug is plying his relent less trade, the English sparrow threatens the fruit blossoms, the fly Is getting in its work en the wheal, ihe cut worms are preparing te fatten en the sprouting cornstalks. anJ the grass fields, whero lay about all the farmers hope of raising the mortgages which are becoming unboarable, are new attacked by myriads of little worms. These latest and nowest pestiferous insects made their debut almost simultaneously In Berks, Lancaster and Schuylkill counties about a week age. Their appearance was very sudden and the farmers are naturally much worried about their tlmethv fields. The worm resembles Iho "army-worm" in appearance, and Its method of oieratlen is nearly similar. They are about thrco thrce eighths of an Inch long, very slcnder, of a light gray color, and are net covered with hair, as are caterpillars. They go Inte the ground at night and when It Is cold, but emcrge as seen as the sun warms up the ground. Then they crawl te within a quarter of an Inch of the top of the blade of Sraas, twine tlioniselves around It and stay lere all day, They attack nothing but timothy grass, se far as the farmers have been able te ebserve. Neuo have yet been found en the grains or clevor. When they get into a field they apjiear by the millions and cover the whole of it. On an avorsge there are four worms te every live blades of grass, aud seldom mera tbau one worm en a stalk. These strange Insects have appeared near Bcwmansvllle, Lancaster county : In the neighborhood of Pert Clinten, Schuylkill county, and In the nerthern and the eastern portion of Berks. Oley township, Beiks ceuntv. which Is supposed te be the wealthiest township in Pennsylvania, Is larticularly unfortunate in suffering from these worms, which have taken possession of the grass fields, aud show no signs of do de parting. Cyrus T. Fex, of Readlng. secretary of the Pennsylvania. Htate Association of Agricultural socleties and nn authority en questions relating te pestiferous bisects, said yesterday that he knows no plan for Iiieveuting Its ravages. They have net leen seen in this slate for at least twenty years; then they made havoc In the grass Holds In seme portions of Southeastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Fex said that they are very peculiar In their habits, and may literally cover a Held at sundown, and net ene can be found the nexl morning or evor afterward. The farmers are Tearful lest they attack the growing wheat and eats, and destrey theso crops as well as the bay. As yet net much damage has been done, for the worms have net been at work long oneiigh. It is said that the cows and horses anu sheen in tbe pasture fields are greatly annoyed by the worms and rofuse te feed upon 'the grass se long as they remain en it. SAVBD THE I'ASSKNGKIW.
