LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
n Distressing Homicide.


A most lamentable occurrence took place
at Dundale Mills, near Bel Air, Md, last
Saturday afternoon. Franklin Whitaker,
jr., about % years of age, a son of the
owner Of the mills, has for some time past
been insane and at times was uhcOntrOll-
able In order that he might he cared for
properly, he was kept in confinement at
home. Last Saturday afternoon, about )
O'Clock, he escaped from the room in which
he had been confined, and obtaining pos
session Of a loaded gun and a sword started
off. Thomas Walter, q young man en-
ployed in tho mill, followed him for the
purpose of getting him back to the house,
when he turned, raised the gun and dis
charged the contents in Mr.. Walters
breast, causing almost instant death.
Whitaker then started to walk to
Bel Air, 4 distance of three miles.
At the toll gate he was met by Judge Bar
ton, in q buggy, to whom he calmly stated
that he had killed 4 man and wanted to
surrender himself to the authorities.
Judge Barton brought him to the town.,
where he told the same story. His unfOr-
tunate state Of mind was well known and
he was not believed at First, but as mat
ter of prccautiOn Deputy Sheriff Carman
locked him up in Jail. The dreadful news
was soon corrOborated. Thomas Walter,
the young man killed, was about
eighteen years of age, and was son of
Mr.. A. S. Walter, highly respect
able farmer, living near the Hickory. He
was an Industrious and estiinable young
man, and was employed by his brother,
Joseph Walter, the miller ut Dundale.
Franklin Whitaker, ST., the father Of young
Whitaker, is widely known and highly
esteemed citizen Of the county, and the
blow has fallen with crushing force upon
him and his family, as we'll as upon the
family Of young Walter. The deepest
sympathy is felt by the entire community
for both families thus suddenly over
whelmed with grief and sorrow. The
murdered mon was brother Of John w.
Walter, esq, of York.

beautiful Memorial Window

The recent changes in st. James Epis-
copal church made it necessary to remove
the Miss Markec memorial window from
its former position to the second space in
the lower tier of windows on the north
aisle Of the church, where it has the ad-
vantage of choice light. The origieal win
dow piece, "Christ Blessing Little Chill
dren," which was made by Wales, of
Newcastle -On-Tyne, under the direction
of Rev. E. S. Watson. has been filled out
very handsomely by Messrs.Aikins & Good
win, Of Philadelphia. In the suggestive
character of the design and in its rich
color effects the window p!eases ut 4
glance, and the eye returns to it again
and again with pleasure. The best effect,
perhaps, is had from the Orange street
pavement, looking through the open ven-
tilatOr, which cuts off tine lower part.
showing only the upper two-thirds of the
window. The changes made in it were
completed last week. so that it took its
place again in the church on Sunday, Cc-
tober II, 1SS0-on the fiitieth anniversary
of Miss Markec's birth, October II,
1880" The inscription tablet gives the
dates of birth and death, with the truthful
legend, "A Christian teacher faithful unto
DEATH"

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 10, 1890.
Not 10 he Feared.

General Malone, of Virginia, is in
Philadelphia and is reported to say that
he is Democrat, that he is for General
Hancock, but he believes in fair play.
General Malone is supposed to he an
important character just now, because he
controls, one wing of the Democratic
party in Virginia, which has separate
electoral ticket of its own that may be
elected by an alliance with the Repub-
licans; and prominent Democrats and
Republicans are said to be in consulta-
lion, consequently, with General Malone,
in Philadelphia.
A very remarkable case it is, surely,
when a man who prOclaims himself a
Democrat and for General Hancock
leaves it in doubt whether or no the
electors he controls will vote for Han
cock. If that is General Mahone's idea
of g fair play" it is not ours.
There is very simple way to treat
General Malone. If he is for Hancock
he must agree to unite with all others in
Virginia who are for Hancock in the
support of one electoral ticket. That is
so Obvious that any hesitation Oh his
part to consent to it will he conclusive
evidence of his untrustwOrthiness. If
the electoral ticket now in the field can
not he accepted by ali the Hancock men
in Virginia then another will easily be
provided that will lie acceptable. There
is but one requisite in Il Democratic elec-
tor, and that is universal confidence that
he will cast his electoral vote for the
Democratic nominees for president and
vice president. That is his sole duty
Such men can easily he provided in Vir.
ginia to make up its electoral body. Nc
one doubts that.
Gen. Malone is suspected of design
to trade his electoral ticket. 1t is be-
lieved to be composed of men who will
vote as he says and he wants an equiv
alent for voting for Hancock. Certainly
his conduct says that. lie is entitled to
no recOmpense for acting us 4 Democrat
and Il Hancock man, us he says he is
nor will he have any power of evil if it is
made clearly apparent that he wants any
If his electoral ticket gets any consider
able number of Democratic votes it will
lie because of its supposed support OF
Hancock. Certainly very few Virginia
Democrats are of the kind that are will
ing to vote for Garfield if they cannot bt
paid for voting for Hancock. There
may he Il few, and for those few Gen. Ma.
hone may dicker. But let Gen. Hancock
or the Democratic national committee
declare the electoral ticket which it con-
fides in to cast Virginia's electoral vote
for the Democratic ticket: and where
is Malone? Alone with his trading
Democrats and Republican allies; and
disarmed of all power of evil.
Those who think General Malone al
important factor in this election take
counsel of their fears rather than OF
their courage and sense.

United New York.

The Democrats of the country can
hardly Overestimatc the Importance OF
the result accomplished by the union
yesterday of all the factional elements OF
the New York Democracy in harmonious
support of Il common local ticket. This
union is all that has been needed to as
sure the Democracy of the country that
vigorous and hopeful contest is to he
wased for the Empire state to lead the
victorious Hancock column. \ careful
canvass of New York and Brooklyn gives
the Democracy $4,000 majority in the
two counties which include them. This
guarantees the state to Hancock by a
majority larger than that by which it
was carried for Tilden. All the signs of
the campaign have steadily pointed to
this, and the only danger of its failure
lay in such complications as might arise
out of al internecine warfare in the city
and the trading off consequent upon the
struggle for local offices. That danger
is now happily and honorably averted.
New York state is anchored safe and
sure. New Jersey and Connecticut IRE
largely affected by the prevailing tone of
New York politics. Causes which in
fiuence that great state control its arms,
and the thousands of its business men
who have their residences or interests
in these neighboring states largely con-
troll their expression of political senti-
ment. Moreover, every activity of the
national organization will he and has
been set to work in these states.
The Indiana people express their live
liest confidence in being able to carry it
for Hancock i'm November. Not only is
he far stronger than their local ticket
was, but they make the fight at very diff
ferent odds. At the congressional cleo
tions just held the Republicans had as
many as twenty-five deputy marshalls to
each precinct of the larger cities, paid
five dollars day, armed with federal
authority, but really employed as Repub-
lican poll committeeman and paid out of
the Republican campaign fund. These
will not be Oh hand at the next election.
The repeaterS will he needed ut home.
Indiana and Maine are alike hopeful to
the Democracy. For Pennsylvania, Cal
ifornia, Nevada and New Hampshire 4
desperate contest is to be waged. All
may be carried with properly directed
effort. All cannot be lost without a
naked surrender of advantages that we
now hold. 1t is not at all likely that any
state in the North carried for Tilden will
he lost for Hancock and none in the
South can be stolen this time.

OK next Thursday the Republicans of
this city propose to have 4 grand demon
stration, and it is expected that Lancas-

visitors and aroused to great excitement.
1t is to he hoped the managers of the
affair will cooperate with the mayor in
his extra efforts to preserve good order,
and especially to avoid all partisan collis-
ions. On the same day the Democrats
will have demonstration ut York on a
similar scale, and doubtless many of our
Democratic citizens will 60 there. The
through preservation of the peace and
good order of the city is of more interest
to Lancaster and of more credit to her
citizens than the successful demonstra-
tions of either party, and to enforce and
preserve these we earnestly exhort right
minded citizens of whatever political
persuasion.

sTuE " Eaton bill - for the revision of
the tariff which was presented by DEM
ocratic senator, approved by the Senate
finance committee and passed by the
Democratic Senate: and which failed to
pass the House because of the obstructive
efforts of the Republican minority under
the lead of the Republican candidate for
president, presents the position taken by
the Democratic party on the tariff ques-
ton, in which it is sustained by the
manufacturing interest as appears from
the petitions presented for the passage of
the bill. The iron and woollen manu-

the Republicans who signed petition
asking for the adoption of the Democratic

election of the Democratic ticket from
any idea of its opposition to their views
and interests in the tariff matter.

AS to Republican consideration Of the
negro, there was nothing in it the negro
is of no account to them except so far as
they can control and use his vote. In
Philadelphia, where cOlOred men are num-
erous, what has the Republican party,
which is in power there, done for them
have been allowed to clean the spittoons,
janitors and one or two clerks, and that is
falsely profess to champion the cause Of
the negro, that the chairman Of the Dem
Ocratic campaign committee of Philadel-
phia has in his own employ q greater
number of cOlOred men than this.
Another cry of the Republican mana
gers is "loyalty.' They say we must
stand by the government and stand by the
soldiers who saved it. Well, what have
the Republicans done in this direction
When they want = United States senator
in Maine they take Maj. Gen. James q.
Blaine; in Massachusetts, they take Gen
erals Dawes and Hoar. Goto New York
you find them rallying around that great
soldier, General Arthur, who WAS for 4
time in the luarter-master' department.
Ut governor they tANc VeHcEAi NOfnciI,
and for United senator that magnificent
soldier, Conkling, who was only kept
from going to the front for fear of having
spoiled his pretty face and beautiful
figure! No; look where you will yOu find
that Republican consideration of the SOL
dier is \ sham, and that the politicians, not
the soldiers, secure promotion.
