5The Lancaster County Murder Mystery.
A. Reading,. Pa., special dispatch-states
some time ago the dead body of a trav
eling peddler was found in a creek near
New Holland, Lancaster county A
few days. previously he had stopped at
the inn of George Marks. The body
ofthe .peddler indicated foul play, but
no.cdue could be eb tallied of the murder
er. Oa Monday last, Marks, the hotel
keeper, died. a natural death, and it is
now known as a fact that before he died
he made a 'full confession that he and a
nelgkbor of his, -named Weidler, had
murdered the peddler and subsequently
thrown him into tho creek. The three
men 'Uad-been .gambling at the hotel,
the.peddler winning from both. When
leaving, Marks ad Weidler dealt him
blows from behind, killed and robbed
him and threw his ijody into the creek.
Great -excitement prevails. Weidler is
not tobe. found.
Another Kystery.
Nir- "York, April 8. George M.
Jones, .who called dimself a Boston
mercha-nt, shot himself through the
heart this morning iut. Vincent's hos
pital and .expired instantly. He was a
private paiient, and apparently a man
of culture and means. arly yeBtcrday
morning he was found on the street suf
fering witli-a broken leg, stating that ho
had been aeeaulted and robbed of all his
money and a gold watch worth $175. He
said he oaiue.to this city to go to Europe
on tbe steatur Canada thfct left yester
day. The hospital people t his request
,had his baggage and ticket, which was
on the steamer, returned.
Upon arriving at the hospital no
weapon, was fond upon hiea. When
be had recovered iiis senses fully he was
permitted to handle his valise and its
contents freely, ataong them was a load
ed .pistol. During temporary absence of
the ourse a muffled report of a pistol
was teard in the patient's room, and
Mr. Jones was found shot through the
heart. Xo note of explanation and
nothing whatever to indicate his busi
ness Ln Boston, if he had any, was found
in his .baggage, but upon search of his
.clothing it was found to be marked
iSmlth instead of Jones. The letters
"D. D. S." were found on his linen. A
number of blank checks in his valise
were dated Philadelphia. From word
dropped by him it was surmised that at
one time he had been lieutenant or en
gineer in the navy, and in his valise
was found a picture of himself in lieu
tenant's uniform. The man proved to
be D. I). Smith of Philadelphia.
Quite a Lively Time.
Private Detective E. F. Gentner has
brought to this city F. W. Dietzel upon
a buil-pieue iued by the prisoner's
surety, Charles A. Wolters Dietzel
having fled after entering ball upon a
binding over for larcency. There was
some trouble In bringing the mail back
to town. Detective Gentner walked
Into a Brooklyn tenement-house, lit
which he Understood Dieted was living,
and found him asleep ln bed. Arousing
him, the detective told the man that he
wanted him to go to Philadelphia.
Dietzel requested to be permitted to
await his wife's return and this request
was granted. In a short time Mrs.
Dietzel put in an appearance and when
she was told of her lord's dilemma, she
uttered a shriek, whereupon the other
woman entered the room and all of
them then began a vigorous assault
upon the officer. He took hold of his
man and defended himself as best he
could against tbe angry females, but
never once did he attempt to strike one
of them blows. Mrs. Dietzel, finally,
was about throwing a bucket of water
over Gentner, when the latter seized the
bucket and turned it upside down, di
rectly over the woman's head, drenching
her thoroughly. At this juncture the
landlord of the tenement put ln an ap
pearance ln a decidedly pugilistic frame
of mind, and him Gentner disposed of
by knocking him down stairs. Then,
despite the woman's clutching, he drag
ged his prisoner down to the front door,
when suddenly the collar of Dletzel's
alpaca coat gave way and the detective
fell backward and the door was immedi
ately slammed ln his face. He had to
jump over a high fence before he gained
the street and tbe company of New
York Detectives Foulk and Williams.
He then returned, and by breaking open
half a dozen doors, again found Dietzel
and took him into custody. He Is now
in Moyamensing Prison. PhiVa. Presn.
Was It a Fair Trade ?
Women are apparently scarce In Lead
vllle, judging from the following Btory :
A cook in a boarding-house became pos
sessed of a mine which Is soon expected
to develop In a " big thing," and his
master desired to buy it. He did not
have quite money euough to pay for It,
and the cook said If the boarding-house
keeper would sell his wife In the bargain
that the mine should be his. Accord
ingly, after consultation between man
and wife, the three drove to a lawyer's
office and the cook signed a quit-claim
deed for the mine, and the other " quit
claimed" his wife, who accordingly went
off with her new husband.
Refuses to License.
Bordentown, N. J., April 7. All
hottls and beer saloons of this city were
closed yesterday for an indefinite period,
in consequence of the common council
refusing to grant licenses. The charter
election will take place next Monday,
and as an entirely new council will then
be chosen the greatest interest Is felt in
it. Bordentown has been a chartered
city for thirty-one years, and this is the
first in its history that Its public houses
have been closed.
fig" Three masked robbers of the
Welsh Mountain gang broke into the
residence of Isaac Seldom ridge, a Dunk
ard farmer-, at New Holland, on Tues
day night. The farmer's aged sister was
bound, and he was compelled to hand
over all his money. Pistols were held
to bis bead, and death was threatened if
any outcry was made. The scoundrels
stripped the house of silverware and
other valuables.
Cg" Much married Davis the bigamist,
attempted to strangle himself in the
county jail at Chicago last Friday night.
His thirteenth wife has arrived in the
city to testify against him. It Is not
muck wonder he wants to get out of this
world. A man with thirteen wives, and
more counties to hear from is a ouriosity.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsnijiGToN, D. C, April 7, 1880.
One of those occasional happenings which
might have been very serious, but which
hss turned out pleasantly enough, bas
been tbe theme of Washington talk for
several days. It resulted by one Represen
tative charging that another Representative,
and that an honored oue, too, had been cor
ruptly iuXiuenced in his action ln the
Washburn Donnelly contest. In the
IIouso on Monday Mr. Maiming, tbe accus
er, took occasion to say that be did not
believe corrupt motives governed other
members. Mr. Springer, and the latter
made explanations quite satisfactory to
everybody. For a generation 1 have en
deavored to keep posted iu Congressional
affairs and for half that time have been
here where Congress has met,and I vonture
tbe sssei tion that no oue thing more im
pairs tbe public reBpect for law, or discred
its more tbe standing of lair maker, than
these persoual disputes among members ;
and, furthermore, that more Presidential
elections are lost by tbe busty, injudicious
aud violeut language of men in Congress
than are gained by tbe speeches made. Ouly
the other day a Southern member him
self a geutleman and a very efficient legis
lator, sud a Democrat who ardently desires
success renewed the urb bf the twenty,
years forgotten word, "mudsill," and htirt
his party more than a hundred like him
could help It. There is nothing like look
ing at things coolly, and especially is this
the case lit Congress.
The army appropriation bill Is up in the
House, ln accordance to the promise made
ten days ago to push things. Yesterday
several amendments wine presented and
voted down. It Is evident the bill Will
pass as reported, unless, by a party vote,
a rider should be put on prohibiting tho
payment of troops for service at tho polls.
If that Is offered it will be adopted, though
perhaps, after a considerable debate. The
amount appropriated as the bill stands, Is
1000,000 less than lost year. The naval
appropriation bill will soon follow.
That annual enormity the River and
Harbor bill will be reportod bdou. It may
be that a well considered system of Im
provements of this kind would be advanta
geous, strict constructionist Democrats
sometimes vote for these bills. But the
purchase of votes by the indiscriminate
adding of ten thousands here, and a million
somewhere else, is wild nnd senseless ex
travagance. It should be reformed.

A Live Town.
Wabash, Indiana, the last place in tbe
woild where It would be lookod for, Is en
titled to claim the credit, of being the first
iu the United States to introduce the elec
tric light as a general illuminator. On
AVednesday night last, as the clock struck
8, four lumps of 8,000 candle power each
flooded tbe mr.iu tliroughfare with light,
amid the wonder aud applause of 10,000
excursionists who had come to town to see
the sights. The city fathers who introduc
ed the light had stationed meu to observe
tbe effect, and, as it was reported that at a
distance of five miles the effect was satis
factory, the municipal worthies are con
gratulating themselves accordingly for
their enterprise.

J" Those in the Williamsport Register
and Recorder's office are amused almost
daily by the persevering efforts of a rat in
the court house yard to catch sparrows.
Tbe sparrows draw him quite a distauce

back they follow him iu a very tantalizing
manner. '

Ma. Editok i I hope a few lines from these
parts will II ml a small corner in Tour valuable
paper. 1 will give you the news from our
settlement (Wolfe). Since I last wrote to
you we had the coldest weather that I have
ever experienced. It lasted three days. The
weather was mild until last Friday, March 20,
at noon it was like a summer day, until about
three o'clock, when a most fearful storm came
up from the North. Mr. I. W. Wolfe and
myself were out wllh the team hauling rock.
When rarlly home be left the waggon, took the
horses and struck for home. Tbe storm was
so great that he could not see ten feet In front
of 111 in, he came near getting lost. I was
more wise, I crept close to the ground In a
draw until the storm was' over. I think tbe
clouds traveled on the ground instead nf in the
air. To-day is like a May day. Mr. Wolfe Is
building a very grand rock house, one of the
finest on the Bulean River. The cellar and
first story is nearly complete, and there will be
a half story above j the coming week will
Mulsh it. Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe now live In a
dugout, but will soon bid farewell to the under
ground mansion and come Into the grand
sawed magnesia house. If we hud a few more
like them in here, the country would he built
up. Henry Wolfe has gone herding. David
W. has gone on a wild horse scout. Adam W.
has sold bis claim. Adam and Sam have lit
out. They have gone to Colorado. This coun
try is settling up fust. One year after Mils the
land will all be taken up. I would like to see
some of our good Ferry boys come out to get
themselves a farm i some that can lie out in
the open prairies with wolves, rattle snakes,
jack rabbits, and a host of other game, and
have no fear. We don't wish to see any more
soft footed pads like Mr. 8. come In here, we
have no baby cradles to put them In. Mother
Wolfe has landed safe here. 8 ho don't like
the place, and wishes to be back in the old
stone mansion. There has beeli no rain hero
since last November. You may well say it Is
dry, and no prospects of rain for tbe next five
months. There is at present a grand opening
at Bullulo lor a printer. Bullalo Is to be tbe
county seat when the county is organized.
Ion can have a nice thing of it. Come along
some of you Perry county printer boys and
bring your wife along with you and don't
bach It like some more of us, for you can't get
a wife here. The girls are scarce j I think, If
tlgures don't lie there are twenty-seven
bachelors for one young lady. If any of our
Ferry girls would wish to come out bereto get
a homestead, please leave the banes at homo,
for tbe wind will blow them down like the
nation. Wages are good for a good girl (1.50
to $2.00 per week. Get a situation before you
come, or you will have difficulty. When our
welcome visitor (Tub Times) comes, we leave
all and read it. Then there is no time to eat
or tend to the crying baby. I will close for
fear of wearyiug some of your many readers
