their feet making excited gestures, and mo
tions of various kinds, amid which nothing
could be distinctly recognized by the Chair.
In the midst of the confusion the only
intelligible incident was that somebody
wished Mr. Voorhees to withdraw his re
marks.
. .
Mr. Voorhees, I withdraw nothing.—
When the gentleman from Massachusetts
said that I was the political friend of the
men who burned American citizens at Fort
Pillow and negro orphan asylums at New
York, of course I do not retract what I
said.
After some debate, the works spoken by
Mr. Voorhees having been written out by
the Globe reporter and read by the Clerk,
were decided by the Chair to be out of or
der.
Then Mr. Cox having persisted in his
motion to have Mr. Hoar's remarks report
ed, and having been read by the Clerk, the
Chairman decided in these words:
" The Chair makes this ruling, that the
language is rather pungent, but not Parlia
mentary."
The ruling of the chair was received with
.one general shout of laughter all over the
I louse, and helped to restore good humor.

THE ENTRIES FOR TITS HORSE FAIR.—
The entries for the trials of speed fir the
June Horse Fair of the Lancaster Park As
sociation were publicly opened on the
grounds on Saturday afternoon, and all the
events were found to be handsomely filled
except the one premium open to all horses.
This circumstance, especially considering
the difficulty which the Reading people
seem to have found in getting horses to
compete for their prizes, was especially
gratifying to the friends of our enterprise,
and gives us the pleasant conviction that a
deepinterest is felt by the gentlemen of
Lancaster county in the improvement and
development of their noble servant, the
Horse. Wo are quite sure that the entries
for the county purses were prompted far
less by a desire to obtain the money value
of the premiums, than by the strong feeling
entertained by our horsemen that to im
prove the treed of our horses a lively in
terest in the subject must be excited among
their owners, and that this could in no way
be done so effectually as by encouraging
them to come together and publicly exhibit
their stuck and enter their road horses for
competition in trials of speed. The Agri
cultural Park Association has been formed
to give stock-owners this opportunity, and
the horsemen of the county recognizing its
value and anxious to second its endeav
ors, have freely come forward at this
Horse Fair and made numerous entries
to compete for its premiums ; and
every year we may certainly expect
that this feeling, now so fairly evinced, will
increase in force andaxesult in a steadily
increasing number of entries. To Paris
Haldeman, Esq., of Chickies Furnaces, the
Association has special reasons for feeling
itself greatly indebted for the moral and
material support he has given it, in entering
for its premiums at the ensuing Fair three
of his horses, and in entering them in his
I own well known and highly honored name.
Where Mr. Haldeman does not fear to
tread, no gentleman need fear to follow ;
and it is an especial object of gratulation
that he has not hesitated to support his en
tries with his name, as it will have a strong
tendency to induce other gentleman to
make their entries in their own instead of
their drivers' names and thus evince their
belief that they are doing a reputable act of
which they have no cause I. be ashamed ;
they will moreover elevate the character of
the trials by thus pledging their fair fame
that they shall bo fairly and honorably
conducted.
There aro a large number of horses from
abroad entered, which is somewhat re
markable, considering the many meetings
which take place throughout the country
during the same week. The fact strongly
testifies that our own track has a wide
reputation away from home, and that horse
owners know that every facility will be ex
tended to them hero, and that they will be
fairly and honorably dealt with. Our track
is but Willa mile long, but it is splendidly
graded and well laid out, and is probably
the best half mile track in the country. The
buildings on the wound aro substantially
constructed, and the stable accommoda
tions are complete. The Grand Stand is a
large and elegant structure, exceedingly
well arranged, and not excelled by that of
any Park in the country. If the weather
is only moderately good next week, our
town will be crowded with visitors to the
Fair. The programme for each day is 80 in
vitingthat ottr friends from the country, in
despair of being able to select ono day for
their visit in preference to another, s , ill
feel irresistably impelled to come in each
day of the meeting. The first day they will
see three contests, between well-known and
well-matched horses that have never here
tofore gone faster titan a mile in 2:40, 2:45
and 3 minutes. The second day there will
be two trials; first an animated contest be
tween five county horses that have never
before trotted faster than a mile in 4 min
utes, but in which the horse that takes the
premium, we are satisfied from what we
know of the animals entered, will have
to trot under 3 minutes; the second trial
on Thursday, will be between five celebra
ted horses from abroad, who will give us
very excitingl, sport and will show us
2:25 time. The third day wo will have
a contest between four first-class pac
ing horses, to be followed by a running
race, mile heats, a ltundred pounds up, in
which the winner MUSE, take two heats to
get the 3200 and entrance added, making
$3OO that is offered for his valor. This
k hut of contest being a novelty in this re
gion is exciting great interest, which is
intensified now that the entries have been
opened and it is known that six horses are
mitered in it, each of which its friends think
will beat the field and carry off the prize.
The Association has made every arrange
ment to ensure the complete success of this
trial, and its conduct will be placed in the
hands of an experienced starter.
Our people then may confidently look
forward to being entertained next week
with very interesting and exciting sport
and they may make their arrangements
accordingly. We append for their benefit
a detailed statement of the entries that have
been made and they will agree with us that
they look welt and aro promising of ani
mated contests.

LOVE FEAST.—The Old Brethern Ger
man Baptists held a Love Feast in their
commodious new meeting house west of
Centreville, Mount Joy township, about
four miles northwest of Mount Joy Bor
ough. The meeting commenced on Tues
day afternoon and lasted until Wednesday
noon. During the afternoon and evening,
the attendance was very lai ge. As the cus
tom at these meetings is to provide board
ing and lodging for the congregation, this
house was built with a view to this object,
by having the basement provided with
cooking utensils, kitchen furniture and
tables, and the loftwith beds.
ACCIDENT.—The Strasburg Free Press
says on Friday morning about 11 o'clock,
whilst Mr. Elijah Martin of Coleraine, (in
company with -Mr. Isaac Walker of our
Borough) 'Ms returning home, his horses
became frightened at the Strasburg steam
mill, and ran off, upsetting the carriage
and throwing both occupants to the ground
breaking one of the posts of the carriage,
and smashing a work bench that was close
by; neither of the gentlemen were hurt.—
The horses were checked, the carriage put
upon its wheels and Mr. Martin went on
his way rejoicing that it was no worse. Mr.
Walker is somewhat bruised.
NOT I'ASSED.—A statement has been go
ing the rounds of the papers to the effect
that a law has been passed by the late Leg
islature providing that at the next election
for school directors, and annually hereafter,
throughout the State, the qualified electors
shall elect two persons to serve as school
directors for three years; that each elector
shall vote for one person only, and, the two
having the highest number of votes shall
be declared elected for three years
It is a mistake. No such bill has been
passed. It was presented by a member, but
failed to go through. School directors will
be elected as usual.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday after
noon last, James Bennett, an old citizen
of Columbia, was run over by one of his
own cars, on the river track, in that place
and instantly killed. While attempting , to
get on the car he slipped and fell, and it
passed over his neck and collar bone, arid
mashing his ribs. Mr. Bennett for a num
ber of years had charge of the cars on the
river track, using his tanden team to draw
them upon the main track. An inquest
was held by Deputy Coroner Fraily, and a
verdict rendered in accordance with the
facts presented.
FATAL RAILROAD ACClDENT.—Yesterday
morning, about a quarter past four o'clock
a terrible smash-up occurred on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, near Leaman-Place, this
county, between the Philadelphia Express
east, and an emigrant train west, resulting
in the death of Thomas Swayne, brakesman,
on the Philadelphia Express, and a passen
ger on the emigrant tram, whose name we
could riot learn. A passenger on the Ex
press train informs us that when the train
was near Leaman Place, and running at
about 30 miles an hour, the engineer, Mr.
Mclntyre, discovered that a switch, not
much more than a hundred yards ahead,
was misplaced, so as to carry his train from
the south to the north track, on which the
emigrant train was standing for the pur
pose of taking water and oiling up. The
engineer at once sounded the danger signal
and whistled down brakes ; but seeing that
a collision was inevitable, both he and the
fireman jumped from the train, and in an
instant afterwards, the express went crush
ing into the emigrant train, making a com
plete wreck of both.
Charles Davis was Conductor of the Em
igrant Train, and Joseph Mclntyre, Engi
neer of the Express—the latter, in jumping
from the train, was considerably cut about
the head.
As soon as the danger signal was given
by the engineer, Mr. Thos. Swayne, brakes
man, who was at the time sitting inside the
car, sprang to his post on the platform, and
in a moment afterwards was caught be
tween the cars, and his chest crushed. He
died in a few minutes afterwards. He was
a young man, but recently married, resid
ing at No. 1822 Christian street, Philadel
phia.
Two of the passengers on the emigrant
train, who were also on the platform, were
terribly mangled, each of them having both
legs broken. They were brought to this
place and taken to the Hospital. One of
them, Daniel McDevitt, a laborer, who was
on his way to Pittsburg, died at the Hospi
tal about noon. The other an Englishman,
named James Brown, 23 years old, who
has been but 15 months in this country, is
still living, but it is thought will have to
submit to the amputation of both legs.
A number of other passengers on both
trains are more or less injured, but not
dangerously.
The wreck beggars deseription. Both
locomotives are a mass of ruins. The bag
gage car of the Express train was smashed
and thrown across the track, one end of it
resting ou top of the engine, while the bag
gage was scattered around in all directions.
Every car in both trains is more or less
shattered, and several of them thrown front
the track ; and when it is remembered that
both trains wore densely packed, it seems
almost incredible that the loss of life and
limb was not much greater.
The physicians in the neighborhood were
speedily on the ground, and rendered such
assistance as was in their power.
Several clergymen were on the train, and
as soon as the excitement had in some mea
sure subsided, one of them proposed a
meeting of the passengers, for the render
ing of thanks to God for their deliverance,
when an affecting player was offered by
Rev. Mr. McMillan.
An examination of the switch showed that
it had been so placed as to rim the Express
train front the south to the north track, and
that the lever by which the switch is moved
was not only pressed down into its place,
but that the pin which secures it was run
through the staple in the usual manner.—
It is not yet known who thus mis-placed
the switch, but it has been suggested that it
may have been done accidentally by some
one connected with the freight train that
had previously gene west, of which Mr.
Manah an was conductor, others suppose
it to have been the work of some scoundrel
who may have obtained one of the switch
keys.
The Agents of the Railroad Company
would not permit passengers to telegraph
an account of the accident to their friends,
and up to the present thno have been very
reticent in imparting information concern
the accident.
. .
As soon RS the news of tho accident reach
ed the City, Coronor Dysart proceeded to
the scene.
By hall-'past 10 o'clock, the wreck.' had
been so far removed as to allow the trains
to pass, the Mail Train west arriving in
Lancaster but live minutes behind sched
ule time.
Late;.—We have been to the scene of
disaster, and found the wrecked ears scat
tered in profusion along the track; there
were over eleven of them more or less in
jured at the ends and bumpers; one or two
of the baggage cars were torn off their
trucks. The engines were not badly in
jured considering the severity of the col
ision and this fatit the railroad employees
claim shows that the express train seas not
running at a high rate of speed. They say
that Leaman Place heir, a flag station, the
engineer had whistled' on the brakes
before !discovering the misplacing of
the switch, it being the practice as
such stations to slow up in expectation of
being flagged to stop. The brakesinan who
was killed, was engaged in taking off the
brake, which he bad put on in obedience to
this signal, at the limo the engineer, dis
covering the misplaced switch, blew the
last whistle, and he was caught before ho
could getaway, by the railing of the bumper
which was bent over and forced against the
side of its car by the car in front, rising over
the bumper of the ear bolUnd. The two men
ou the Emigrant train were likewise
standing on the bumper of the car
and were killed in a similar manner.—
The engineer of the Express train
leaped off after sounding his Whistle and
says that ho landed on his feet and ran up
the adjaeent hank ; this is likewise urged as
a fact going to show that the train was not
going at a high speed. The locomotive Of
the Emigrant train was standing by the
wood-house right at the head of the switch,
so that the engineer and fireman had very
little time in which to save themselves.
The train did not run thirty yards after
being switched MI until the collision. The
baggage-ear of the Express was thrown
up a steep embank meat and furnishes
strong testimmiy of the violence of the col
lision. . .
An inquest on the body of Thomas W.
Swayne, the brakesnian, had been hastily
held by Deputy Coroner Abrin. Bair, Jr.,
before the arrival of Coroner Dysart. The
inry consisted of ('t o nics I.averty, Leonard
dilendenning, A. Stern, A. P.'Mclivain,
Amos Reese and J. B. Patterson. They
found " that said deceased came to his
death by being caught between two bum
pers of the cars, by the switch being out of
its proper place; the Fast Lino going East
ran into the Emigrant Line West, at 4
,clock, A. M., at said station; deceased
lived about 15 minutes after he was re-
leased from the bumper. It will strike
every one that this is a very unsatisfactory
verdict, inasmuch as no attempt was made
to ascertain why the switch was misplaced
or who did it. The conductor of the freight
train, which went west a half an hour be
fore the collision, and who is accused of
having left the switch open, was at
Leaman Place while wo were there,
and declares that he is sure he re
placed tile switch after he passed over
it. But as the switch was manifestly open
ed by some ono who had a key, and lie was
the last Conductor who had occasion to
open it, he will be held responsible for the
collision, unless some new developments
occur. Ile is a young man named Milton
Manahan. We trust that the Coroner's jury
to be held on the body of McDevitt, will
make a thorough examination of the cause
of this lamentable affair.
LOCAL. ITEMS.—We are indebted to one
of our most attentive and intelligent cor
respondents for the follows g interesting
items :
On Thursday last as Mr. Philip I loitinan,
%vile resides near Conestoga Centre, WEIM
splitting wood the ax glanced Mr, hitting
him on the left foot, cutting it very se
verely.
The scarlet fever is prevailing to some
extent among the children in Conestoga
Centre and neighborhood.
Dr. It. S. Kendig, of Conestoga Centre,
purchased a few weeks ago the tobacco
raised on the farm of Mr. George Shoff, of
Conestoga twp., about 8,000 pounds; for a
part of which tie paid $3O per hundred, and
for the remainder s'2s. This is, we think,
the highest price paid for tobacco in this
neighborhood the present year.
(in the property of Mr. Jacob Conrad,
adjoining the village of Conestoga Centre,
is a cherry tree of the Early Purple varie
ty, from which Mr. C. has realized over $25
each year—on an average—for a number
of years from the sale of the cherries grown
thereon. It is this year again as full as
usual.
A disease is again prevalent this spring
among the poultry in this neighborhood,
and large numbers of chickens and tinkles
have died for some of the farmers.
• .
'There are still some shad—and some of
them very fine ones—being caught in the
though not in as large num
bers as a few weeks ago. This has been the
most successful shad fishing season enjnyed
by our fishermen fur many years. L. S.
GOLD SeenEltS.—We are informed that
the Safe Harbor gold seekers are still en
gaged in searching for "Treasure Trove."
Their investigations, which have hitherto
been confined to the Manor township side
of the Conestoga creek, have recently been
transferred to the Conestoga township hills
opposite the scenes of their former re
searches. On Tuesday night at a late hour
a party were discovered digging for the
hidden treasure. They were much an
noyed at being disturbed, and left off their
digging at the presence of the unwelcome
visitors who so suddenly interrupted their
mysterious labors. It is singular that these
superstitious and deluded people should
continue to hunt for buried gold, after the
many assurances they have had that their
labor is all in vain.
FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-Peter
of this city, fell on Thursday last, front the
platform of a car attached to the Lancaster
train east, on which he was a passenger, and
was instantly killed. The accident occurred
a mile and a half east of Mountville. The
cars were running very fast at the time,
and it is supposed that his hat was blown
off, and in attempting to save it he lost his
balance and fell. The foreman of the track
was dispatched to the scene and found him
lying dead, with his skull fractured. lie
leaves a wife and family.
FINE OLD WINES.—H. E. Slaymaker, of
Reigart's Old Wine Store, this city, ship
ped Saturday to Philadelphia for the use of
Col. Wm. C. Patterson, fifty cases of fine
old Madeira wines, of vintages of 1793, 1800,
1818, and 1827, at prices ranging from $75 to
$l5O and $lBO per case—the invoice amount
ing in the aggregate to some $3,500. This
transaction shows the high repute in which
Reigart's old wines are held by connoisseurs;
while Lancaster may plume herself tin
being able to supply Philadelphia with her
choicest wines.

K NIO !ITS OF PYTHlAS.—another inter
esting epoch in the local history of this
new, yet remarkably successful order, oc
curred on Friday last. D. I). li. C., A. S.
Villee, one of the most effective workers I
in the jurisdiction, accompanied by a large
number of the Past Chancellors and
brethren of the city and county, visited the
lovely, quiet, and staid little borough of
Linz, and instituted a new Lodge there.—
The ceremonies were of that impressive
kind peculiar to the ritual and were wit
nessed with unflagging interest by those
present, in spite of the overcrowded con
dition of the place of meeting, and the un
usual heat of the weather. The location of
a Lodge at this point of summer resort,
will no doubt help very materially to re
move the somewhat inexplicable prejudice
which prevails in that portion of our coun
ty against secret societies, and from the
character and standing of the great major
ity of those who were installed as officers
and initiated as brethren, the fraternity
will do nothing detrimental to themselves
or the town, but will in the main, prove
beneficial. They aro all men of intelli
gence, of influence and position, indefati
gable in whatever they undertake, and will
reflect credit on the Order in any capacity
with which they may be honored, taking
care that their sociability and brotherly
kindness will not descend into roughness,
and be perverted in any way. The Lodge
starts under very flattering auspices, and
will be undoubtedly, one of the most pop
ular visiting points of our ' country cousins'
and brethren. The visitors from Lancas
ter, Columbia, Marietta, Sadsbury,
were much pleased, and enjoyed all the ac
companiments exceedingly, with the ex
ception of the almost tropical heat. The
following are the names of the officers in
stalled in Litiz Lodge, No. 253, K. of P. :
V. P.—R. R. Tshudy.
W. C. John Kahl.
V. C.—lsaac G. Pfautz.
Guido.—Dallas B. Flory.
Banker.—H. H. Tshudy
Financial Scribe.—B. F. Diehni
Recording Scribe—W. Bollinger
1. S.—A. N. Habecker.
0. S.—John Breneman
FlRE.—Last night about 11 o'clock Mrs.
A. W. Groff, residing in Market street,
in rear of Jacob Loeb's Store, was lighting
a coal oil lamp which she had just filled,
when a slight explosion of some accumu
lated gas occurred, which so startled her
that she suddenly turned around and upset
the coal oil can ; the oil caught fire and ran
into a box of papers standing near. The
accident happened in a small room on the
second floor which is used by Dr. Groff for
the storage of drugs and medicines, some of
them being very combustible. The flames
were soon apparently extinguished and the
family went to bed; but about 3 o'clock,
Mr. and Mrs. Reiner, who occupy a part of
the house, heard a crac.king of glass, and on
getting up discovered that the room was
again on lire and blazing furiously. Mrs.
Groff, when she was aroused by Mr. Rein
er,-immediately ran to the door of the burn
ing room and throwing It open, was con
siderablyscorched about the face and hands
by the flames rushing out before she could
get away. bn alarm was at once given,
and the firemen were soon in attendance
and checked the daisies, but not until Dr.
Groff's stock of medicines, which he values
at $llOO, was almost entirely destroyed. He
was absent in the country at the time of
the tire, and ho is not certain whether his
policy of insurance has expired or not.
The building belongs to Mr. Loeb, and is
fully insured.— Wednesdays Daily.
PA RDONF:D.—Tho Erautiner says that Dr.
S. M. Landis, formerly of Ephrata, this
county . , who was cronvicted and sentenc
ed in the Court of Quarter Sessions of Phila
delphia to an imprisonment of one year, on
the charge of exposing obscene hooka for
sale, has been released from prison, having
been pardoned by Governor Geary, after
having served three months.
The pardon of this notorions character. is
an offence against decency and morals.
TOWNSHIP ST.A.TEMENTS.—According to
the provisions of a law passed by the Leg
islature of 1868, Township Clerks are re
quired each Spring to make out and publish
a full and complete statement of the finan
cial condition of their respective townships,
under a penalty of $.50. The clerks should,
therefore, hear this fact in mind, and act in
accordance with the law.—Krrhonge.
HANnsong Stott n.—Last evening the Wheel
er & Wilson Sewing Machine Office, 64 North
Queen street • presented a brilliant appearance.
On Invitation ofJos. Blaseheek, the Business
Manager for the Laneaster District, we were
escorted over the• premises. The whole front
has been painted, new signs, elegant walnut
eaVes and counters, new style gas fixtures:lace
ourtallia, &r., and a handsome counting room,
with walnut railing, ste., have been introduced.
The basement also has been titled up, the en
trancebeing In the store,for packing and storing
machines. Mr. illascheek came here last Ray,
having only part of the present °Mee, and one
horse and wagon; but by perseverance and in
dustry he has now the handsomest Sewing
Machine (Jake outside of Philadelphia In the
district belonging to Peterson st: Carpenter;
and has also connected wet h this office Is horses
and wagons, to carry on the Immense business
grown nncnortnuus to Inc last ten months.
The popularity of the Wheeler st Wilson is
greater than ever, and we score assured by Mr.
B. that over 480,000 have been sold up to the
present time.
A new wagon, inade by A. B. Landis, of Mt.
Soy, Is also amongst the vast Improvements.—
Mr. Landis has completed over thirty for Ye-
P•rson & Carpenter, and it is a pleasure to see
that OUrWOII3IIII. in this county can compete
with Philadelphia work. The wagon does great
credit to Mr.Landis,being claret ground inside,
with gilt letters and varnished highly: the body
is green, tipped with,light purple: the running
gears are beautiful straw color, tipped with
green and gold, with new patent wheels. Hun,
retiS gazed in it last evening whilst standing
to front or the store.
