FOR COUNTY SlltVKYOR : WILLIAM BAKER. Milford Twp During the month of September, the National debt was reduced $14, 7 17,220, which is another argument in favcr of "Turning the rascals out." The man who stays :it home and refuses to vote nt the coming elec tion, should move at once to some other tate. Pennsylvania is not the place for such spiritless drones. Every Republican voter in Som erset county shouM determine 10 work from now until tue election for the success of the whole ticket. Pennsylvania mut lead the column next year. Let the voters bear in mind that our Democratic Governor and his party are responsible for the present outrageous extra session of the leg islature, which takes over 83' N K (every day from the pockets of the taxpay ers. If the Republicans of this State will all vote early vote straight and without a scratch at the coming election, the majoriiy w ill be large enough to satisfy the entire country that Pennsylvania means business in 1!SS4. Many ot the editors and politi cians, of the State that last year as sisted to scuttle the Republican ship, are now busily engaged in trying to plug up the holes and repair the damage they caused. They now see the effect of the suicidal policy they pursued. The loss of Ohio should act as a trumpet call to all true Republicans in Pennsylvania. We can win, and we mean to do it. Ou a lull vote, Pennsylvania is Republican by at least twenty thousand, (let out the vote, and victory is assured ! Before the election in Ohio, the Democrats insisted that the issues there were purely local, and the re sult would have no political signifi cance. Now, it is claimed, that the result makes sure the election of a ! Democratic President next year. Pattisox's extra session of the legislature has cost, up to this date, $411,S1S,00. It still continues in session at the cost of $30HG for each and every day, waiting for the pub lic verdict Let it hear from you. 'boys," on the 6th day of November next The election in Iowa last week, resulted in a clean Republican vic tory. Notwithstanding the com bined efforts of the Democrats, (IreenbackTS and Liquor Dealers, the Republicans elected tlifir Gov ernor and State ticket by a majority of 30,'XIO, ani secured large majori ties in both branches of the Legis lature. m The stand taken by the Democrats in Ohio and Iowa, in favor of free rum, makes it evident that the policy ot that party in the coming Congress will be to force the entire alKtlition of the internal revenue taxes on spirits, beer and wine, in order to make free whisky a leading issue against the Republican party in the Presidential canvass of next year. American credit is to-day better than that of any other Nation ou the face of the glole, and the Secretary of the Treasury is preparing to issue bonds at two per cent. Does any Itody believe that that the Demo crats, who could'nt borrow a few thousand dollars at G percent., when they were last in power, would do any better if thev were agaia placed in control? Since the first of January last, oar Democratic legislature has been in continuous session, eating up the substance of the eople, and giving us nothing in return for this profli gate waste of money. Judgment will be entered in the case on the sixth day of November. Every Republi can voter is on the jury, and the man that shirks his duty is not a good citizen. IssprRiTEDby the result in Ohio, Chairman Hensel has already an nounced that the Democrats intend during the next three week, to make a most vigorous campaign in this State, and that all their big gans will be put on the stump. This is fair notice to Republicans that there is no child's play ahead of them, and should inspire every member of our party with a determination to go to Ihe polls and do his full duty. Wbe.n you go to cast your ballot dont forget that the Republicans have frequently tried to adjourn the extra session of the Legislature, and that Pattison vetoed the joint reso lution fixing the date of adjourn ment; thus continuing the session at a daily expense to the tax payers of 3,0. - The Dsmocrats are of course, ju bilant over the result in Ohio. The journals of that party are adorned with multitudes of crowing cocks, mhilntinn metinps are being held in all the Democratic strongholds of the State, and a vigorous effort is being made to enthuse their voters for our coming election. This will only stir up Republicans and incite them to increased efforts. It is alleged that the wool grow ers of Ohio voted the Democratic ticket because they were offended at the slight reduction of duty on wool made by the last Congress, whereup on the Philadelphia Record, a free trade journal, bluntly remarks, They can surely have no expecta tion that a Democratic majority in Congress will ever raise the duty." We have often heard of the man who bit off his nose to spite Lis face. i TT wnnrtPd bat Mr. Blaine has been offered $100,(00 for his new book, "From Lincoln to Garfield," j but has finailv acreed to take $75,- i 1 fiTtonn nents mvaltv on I each copy sold.

Mr. Blaine is blessed with a remarkable memory, is an easy ar.d graceful writer, aud took a leading part in the politics of the country during the eventful teriod embraced in the scope of his coming volumes. No man is letter fitted to write "From Lincoln to Garfield" than is James G. Blaine. The returns from Ohio come in remarkably slow, both parties having apparently lost interest in them, so soon as the general result was ascer tained. It is settled, however, that Hoadly, Democratic candidate for Governor, will have a majority of from ;,KH)to 10,000; the legislature is Democratic on joint ballot, and the prohibitory amendment is de feated by from liO.OOO to ."lO.Otfi ma jority. The Democratic majority last year was over 19,000, and its de crease this year is attributed to the largely increased vote. With the distracting temperance issue elimi nated from the canvass, the State is j counted upon by our friends, as certain for the Republican candi dates next vear. Ox a very heavy vote, perhaps the heaviest vote ever polled, Ohio has gone Democratic by a majority of probably ten thousand, electing a Democratic Governor and a Demo cratic Legislature, that in due time will choose a Democratic United States Senator. "That the people of Ohio have changed their opinions in regard to the tarilf, or upon any of the dis tinctive issues that have hitherto given victory to the Republican par ty, cannot be truthfully alleged. No sensible man doubts that the major ity is as true as ever, to the princi ples of which President Garfield was the representative when elected, and none believe that in one iota, has public detestation of Democratic methods been abated. The struggle was not a square stand up fight be tween the two parties, but turned strictly upon local issues thrust into the canvass by the Prohibition zeal ots. The Scott law, which was an honest endeavor to restrict largely, and tax roundly the traffic in liquor, in accordance with the wishes ot the people, and an amendment to the Constitution totally prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages, were both before the vo ters. The temperance people insisted on making total prohibition the test, and thus by driving away a large and resectable vote, not yet pre pared to go to extreme lengths on the temperance question, and as it is alleged, by trading votes for the ; Democratic candidate, in return for ; Vi .1.1 r.. v.o A ..iu..i ninnf hai? iUI Hiv .iiiivimuivitu, - ' thrown the Mate into the hands of ' the Democrats, and subsequent legis-1 lation into the control ot the liquor interests, who supplied the funds to j . i carry on ine campaign on !he cimoanrn nt'ainst r them.

The politician who plaoe Ohio in the Democratic column, because of the result of last week's election, will have ample reason to change his opinion before the close of next year. like the victory in this State, it rill re-act upon the victors. J the voters of Pennsylvania had the opportunity to reconsider their work of last year, it is very certain that Pattison would be relegated to pri vate life, and so, after the people of Ohio have tasted the fruits of one session of unrestricted Democratic 1 i .- - a i legiBl-Uon, they will cure the hoar they were induced to grasp at the shadow and lose the substance. ' THE M OH ALE OP THE ELECTJOS. The returns from the elections in Iowa and Ohio are very slow in com ing in, but according to estimates based upon results already known, it is clear that the Republicans have carried one State, and the Democrats the other. A saloon will not be built upon every hill top in Iowa, but in Ohio whisky will be free. In the former, the banner Republican State of the Union, there is a majority for the entire ticket much larger than was expected by the sanguine, but in Ohio the work of fanatics, whose real was better than their judgment, has accomplished just what they were endeavoring to prevent, and has disappointed those who believe tli.it "half a loaf is better than no bread." The enforcement of the Scott law taxing saloons, since its indorsement by the Supreme Court, was acquiesced in by honest men of both parties, but the temperance people insisted upon making prohi bition an issue, and threw the legis lation and the government of the State into the control of the saloon keepers. Much as a prohibitory law might be desired, beneficial as it might be, the public sentiment of the State was not prepared to sustain it, and the entire German population cast their strength in favor of the Demo cratic ticket. They would have been satisfied with a license law, with the reeulation of the liquor traffic, but they placed themselves Utolidly and tolidly against prohibi- ig not rea(,onabie a8 Senator Sherman says, to argue a defeat of the Republican party because its ticket was supported by the prohibi- A el I 1 I "oa yrl' iJ RpnnbliOiin noon nolitical issues, 1 1 .

Inter Ocean. I'nlicicfi and Murder. Baltimore, October 11. Shortly before 12 o'clock to day Jas. Busey and Washington Thater, two well known politicians, got hits a contro versy in front of City Hall in refer ence to the fairness of the late pri- jmary election. Jusey represented one faction of the democratic party and Thater another. While the men were quarreling, Win. F. Ilaring, another celebrity, took Thater's part. In the heat of the quarrel.it is said, Busey struck at Thater. In an instant Ilaring drew a 4'J calibre English bulldog pistol and fired point blank at Busey. The latter returned the fire with a heavy Smith it Wesson repeater. In five seconds as many shots were tired. The infuriat'-d men fought each other forward and backward in the middle of the street; now clinching and then separating; which, with the fleeing crowd seeking protection behind every convenient object, and in doorways, while women fainted, made a scene worthy of a frontier town. At length, with his pistol empty, Busey fell mortally wounded in the door way of No. 4 engine house, with four bullets in his body, one through the abdomen and above the heart, and two in the shoulder. Ilaring fell on him aud was beating him over the head with his weapon when the police arrived on the scene. Busey is dying. This man is one ot the most notorious characters in the city, a bully at the polls, a ballot box stufTer, repeater, and one of those men essential in perpetrating the ring rule in this city. Rejoicing Over the Kleetion. West Chester. October 11. The Democrats held a jollification meet ing and walk around in this borough this evening in honor ot the Demo cratic victory in Ohio.

PrlMntri WP ThJp Escape. Lancaster, Pa., Oct, 10. This city was thrown into an intense state of excitement between seven and eight o'clock this evening by the ru- mor that fifteen prisoners had over powered the authorities at the couii- tvjail and made their escape. What led to the great excitement was the fact that John Frankford the notori ous one-eyed horse thief and jail breaker, had again fled, and with him, Abe and Ike Buzzard brothers. George Brimmer, commonly called "Tid," the youthful barn-burner whose depredations so often terrified our citizens, John Wertz. another in cendiary, Phillip Ilildebrand await ing trial for murder in the borough of Strasburg, and other criminals of less note. The facts of the escape are as fol lows: Abe Buzzard was being tak en from his cell to that of his broth er in charge of one underkeeper, the other underkeeper being in the bar ber shop and when a few yards from his cell asked his custodian to give him the privilege ot taking his bird cage with him which request was complied with. Just as the under keeper was going into the cell for the cage Buzzard seized him, and with his powerful arms thrust him in and quietly turned the key upon him. Then seizing a gun he began unlocking the doors of the others prisoners, who when released seized guns and held at bay the other un derkeeper aud other who made their appearance. The next thing to do was to break the telephone so that no communication could be had with the mayor's oflice, and then taking the large gate key they filed into the yard and opened the gate A U IV iUV 1U1U wil VA UJ'V 'IVM taiv which leads int0 the 8treet and Ued t, .- i-.n i.in i 1 nRvintr niiiv n. nmi niiiir n nliitl i )t'- I ... . .. fore the police could be notified. John Frankford is too well known to need a lengthy notice. It is he who defies all prison walls and boasts that no jail was ever built that could hold him. He has escaped fully five times from different jails, once from the Eastern Penitentiary. lie was only recently captured in Chester county the authorities there claiming him for horses stealing but in a legal fight for him Lancaster county came off victorious but Ches ter county is now like the fellow who laughs last. He is undergoing a sentence of nineteen years fourteen of which he has yet to serve after which Chester county can have his corpse as he is over fifty years old. He can easily be identified by the loss of his eyes which he lost by being shot by our prison keeper while trying to make his escape through a 11 ue. THE ESCAI EIl PRISONERS. "Tid" Brimmer was sentenced about one year ogo to thirteen years imprisonment for incendiarism, hav ing belonged to a gang which burn ed the pooriiouse barn several large tobacco warehouses numberless sta bles among them the mayor's caus ing as high as lour fires inside of as many hours. He confessed after having been convicted, and "gave away" the whole gang some of whom have convicted. Among them was Wertz who was sentenced to ten years. Abe and Ike Buzzard are notori ous criminals and belong to the Welsh mountain gang which has been a terror to this county for Years. Abe was only recaptured about two weeks ago while playing aganie of cards near Ephrata. It was known long that he was about his usual haunts but no one dared to approach him until two brave offi cers teok him by surprise. Ike like his brother Abe, also broke jail here tofore and was taken back to prison as a vagrant because he could not pay List fine before a magistrate. He was only identified at the jail by one of the underkeepers as one of the notorious Buzzards who had made their escape. Mr. Burkholder the prison keep er was down town while this affair took place. Early in his adminis tration he purchased a bloodhound and a large bell. The bell was rung every evening at sundown when the bloodhound was let loose and no person'were allowed in the yard un der any circumstances after that. It is said that the jail breakers took the bloodhound with them and shot him near the creek. Baltimore and Ohio's Prosperity. Baltimore, Oct 10. The regular monthly meeting of the board of di rectors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company took place to-day, the President, John W. Garrett, pre siding. The Committee on Finance submitted their report of the earn ings and expenses oi the road for the fiscal half year ended September 30, and upon their recommendation cash dividends of 5 percent, payable on November 1 next, were unani mously declared on the stock of the main stem and Washington branch.

The regular engineer was not on duty and the itttle furnace "'dinky" was bdog manned bv a young man who seems to have known nothing about bis business and was running at a rapid rate towards the crossiug. When he saw a collision would be inevitable unless lie checked up instead of staying at his post and stopping his engine as the passengers say he could have done lie reversed the brakes and leaped off letting the engine go crashing broadside into the middle car of the passenger train. Their were eighteen persons in the car, and the scene was frightful. Men, women, ami children were k nocked out of their seats in every direction and few escaped beinr. mangled, burned, or scakled. The car took fire msi.-i.ntly and was wrap ped in llames almost before the pas sengers could h5 ;o- ten out. It was entirely consumed.

Julia Shiflbauer, a German lass, 16 years of age, committed suicide by cutting h r throat with a razor at Uridzep-jrt, a mining village near Mt Pleasant. The inquest held to day developed the fact that her par ents had beaten and abused her be cause she refused to wed her cousin, she being in love with another man, and that, crazed by love and grief, she committed self murder. The two suitors for the girl's hand met at the inquest to-day and quarreled over the corpse. Had it not been for the interference of mutual friends a double tragedy would surely have followed.
