The Happy Family.

Republican Voter" in Era and Examiner.
There is no likelihood that the desperate
conspiracy to get control of the board of
return judges, by buying them by the head
at the price Sensenig has put on them
will succeed but he, johnson, Martin and
poor, duped Adam Eberly, might as well
know that, though they have plotted
together in darkness and on the Sabbath.
the very particulars of their foul conspir-
acy are in the hands of responsible
parties, and as surely as the conspirators
live they will answer in the court of
quarter sessions Of the county for their
infamy. That Thomas J. Davis received
an honest plurality of the votes for district
attorney at the last primary election no
one can pretend to deny, and in this effort
to cheat him out of his nomination under
the cry of fraud, even johnson, of natural
izatiOn fame, exceeds himself. All charges
OF corruption and dishonesty in our local
politics heretofore made dwindle into utter
insignificance beside the magnitude of this
desperate plot, of which the pet reformer.
Martin is one of the chief cOnspirators.
1t is high time that the mask of reform
was torn from him and his true character
understood.
But what would the success of the con-
spiracy avail poor Adam Eberly? Does he
not. know that Sensenig has told hundreds
of people that Adam gave him 1000 in
cash and note for 81, 500 for his support?
Does he not know that Sensenig says now
that Adam will spend all the money neces-
sary to buy up the board Of return Judges?
II these cOnspiratOrs should succeed. the
ink that would record Adams oath of
ofhce would not be dry before he would be
in the custody of the law to answer for the
means resOrtea to to secure the district at

The beautiful Mrs. LANGTRY, "the Jer-
sey lily, - is given the credit of having
made fashionable the garment called jer-
sey. From time immemorial the sailor,
whether English, German or Freech, who
is born on the coasts of the British Chan
mel, has been accustomed to wear a close
fitting woven woolen garment which has
always been known as a jersey. 1t covers
his arms and the upper part of his body
down to the hips, and IS in all respects
more convenient, more serviceable and
more neat than the loose wooden shirt
which was universally worn by the now
extinct race of American sailors. Some
what modified and made of finer material
is the latest female fashion.

The Local S0u0hble.

1t is a most delightful mess the Re
publican party of this county has got it.
self into, and pretty stories its members
are telling about each other. Some OF
the communications published i'm oul
Republican contemporaries graphically
illustrate the feelings of affection which
the leaders have for each other and the
respect they entertain for the results
reached at their primary elections. The
Era admits that they are carnivals OF
fraud, though not so long ago it affected
to think that the fOOlkiller's club was
wanted for anybody who said SO.
The situation was never more cOmpli-
Gated than at this time, since, in addi-
tion to the usual bribery and fraud, there
was such treachery among the leaders of
both factions at the late primary cleo
tions that the element of revenge enters
largely into the present heated feeling of
the party. McMellen in order to save
his man Davis sold out Reinoehl and his
former Hog Ring allies, while Brown,
Cochran, Fridy and others, in their zeal
for Mylin betrayed Eberly, and if well
defined charges are true, Browns perfidy
was almost without parallel in politics,
certainly uneqalled in all the local dis
grace and dishonesty.
Now that Mylin is safely elected and
McMellen's betrayed friends have turned
in to destroy him and the obnoxious CAN
didate with whom he is loaded up. his
new allies show a disposition to leave
him in the lurch. Brown and Cochran
loiter at the seaside and let such hitherto
antagonistic elements as johnson, Sense
mig and the Nec Era people combine to
overthrow Davis and McMellen. They
know the policy of dividing and conquer
ing. The old stager politicians see their
for the determination of
this upstart Hog Ring by letting its
factions destroy each other. They can
come in afterwards and arrange a new
to suit themselves. The :

time ago, when the trustees of Donegal
church notified the general that it en-
croached ON their line. The general sent
for Squire Eby and he again surveyed it
and reported to the general that it was on
his line. Last week-in the absence of
Gen. Cameron at White Sulphur springs

JOHN McGLlNN.


On July 12 the following dispatch came
over the wires by associated press and was
published in the daily newspapers of this
city and elsewhere without attracting any
special attention from the public
BYERs, Col, July 11.-This evening at
O'Clock an unknown tramp about 30
years old, came to the depot here and
while engaged in conversation suddenly
drew large butcher knife and gave Sam
uel Green cut over the eye, cut John
McG linn so that his bowels came out and
then stabbed Frank McCracken, the tele-
egraph operator, probably fatally, in the
left side. McCracken ran across the street
followed by the tramp, who was shot dead
by constable. The tramp cannot be
identified, but is supposed to have been q
maniac.
MIR. Albert McGlinn, of this city, who
works in the barber shop Of George Boeh-
ringer under the Caldwell house, having a
brother by the name of John McGlinn
somewhere in the far West, feared that
this statement might have reference to
him and wrote to Byers, inquiring con-
cerning the identity Of the man who was
killed. He has received the following
reply:
Byers, Col, July 10, 1SSO.-A. McGlinn
Dear Sir.-Yours of the 18th inst. to
hand. The man stabbed here was John Nc
Glinn, a very dark c.,mplected heavy set,
muscular man have known him for three
years, l never inquired particularly of him
as to where he lived, but always under
stood he was from Pennsylvania, and had
been a railroad man there, and have since
learned he had a brother-a barber-in
Pennsylvania, and a wife and child in ILL
nOis. He was taken to Denver from here and
died next night, without, as far as heard,
leaving any message. Yours,
II. B. SHRYOCK.
This letter fully confirms his belief that
the man killed was John McGlinn, former
ly of this city, and later resident of
Columbia and employee ON the Pennsylva-
mia railroad. Besides Albert, he has
brother WIN. McGlinn, cabinet maker at
Widmyer & Ricksecker's and other rela-
tives in this city, though having drifted
westward some years ago, he is not so
well known here as other members of his
family.

THAT COURTNEY MATCH,

The Wilmington Elopement Leads to 8
COwhiding Affair in the Streets.
Last evening as Edward Tatnall, florist
of Wilmington, Del. was returning to his
home in the Ninth ward he was met by
Mrs. Courtney, wife of H. 3. Courtney, ol
the firm of Swift, Courtney & Beecher,
match manufacturers. Taking from the
folds of her dress a cat-o'-nine-tails she
commenced to apply the lash to his face.
AS the stripes were laid Oh her husband
stood by encouraging her with such ex-
pressions as ''Go in Kate :; let him have it
give it to him." The cause of the whip
ping is an article published in the Daily
Neacs, wherein Mr.. Tatnall stated that Miss
Courtney, the young lady who eloped sew
eral days ago, was step-daughter of Mr..
Courtney, whereas she claims that the
young lady is Mr.. COurtney's daughter.
Mr.. Tatnall has had a warrant issued for
the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs. Courtney.

OBITUARY,
death Of John Georse Ripper.

Death Of John George Ripper.
John George Ripper, tile veteran editor
of the Staats Zeitung. a standard Demo-
cratic paper of Harrisburg, and who was
well known in Lancaster, died last night
after an extended and serious illness from
cancer in the stomach. He was born in
Gardenheiu,, Darmstadt, on August II,
1917, and was consequently nearly 63 years
Of age at the time of his death. He came
to the United States in 1881, settled in
Chambersburg and learned the printing
business with Henry Ruby on the Corre-
spondent Of that place. He afterwards en-
gagged in the publication Of the Valley Spirit

under Messrs. Kuhn and Haas. From here
he went to Pittsburgh and became con-
nected with the Abends Zeitung, a daily,
and the Pittsburgh Democrat, weekly
publication. In this venture he lost be-
tween three and four thousand dollars and
rclinquisled the business. Returning to
Harrisburg he establish the Rnnsytuania
Stats Zeitung in 1866 and carried on the
paper successfully up to the time of his
demise. Tho Staats Zeitung has an exten-
sive circulation in Pennsylvania among
the German population, and in the states
Of Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana.
Mr.. Ripper was consistent member OF
st. Micl'acrs German Lutheran church,
Harrisburg, and was leader of the choir for
II number Of years. While resident Ol
Chambersburg in early life he was super
intendent of the German Sabbath school
1T that place. He was a member in good
standing of Dauphin lodge, Nc. 16O, Indie.
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, and also
Of the aid society Of st. Michael's church.

relations of life.

SqonEo - the PRISON. but b Rseaptured.
This morning "Wild Harry" whose
case was to have been heard yesterday by
the judges, was brought down this morning
again. At half past ten O'Clock his
case was heard before Judge Patterson.
His counsel asked that the amount Of bail
for the accused be reduced from 400 to
$500. The court refused to do this, and as
Harry was unable to procure bail for the
larger amount he was remanaled to prison.
Immediately after the hearing Frederick
Albright, underkeeper at the prison. start
ed from the court house for the jai! with
Harry in charge. The prisoner walked out
East King street very quietly until they
reached Marshall street, which is but !.
half-square from the prison. Here Harry
turned around suddenly and struck Al
bright blow in the face with his fist.
The blow staggered Albright, but
did not knock him down Harry started
oil on run down Marshall street to
Orange. From Orange he ran through
small alley to Chestnut, thence across the
commons. He jumped into yard in the
neighborhoOd of the Penn iron COM
pany's works, and up to the present
writing he has not been captured. Al
bright first threw a club after the man and
then started in pursuit of him, but was
unable to Overtake him. The underkeep-
er had no revolver, nc least if he had he
did not use it. 1t seems very strange,
however, that keeper Of prison should
undertake to take man like Wild Harry
to prison without having handouts ON hin,
or without a weapon. Harry is young
active and strongly built man, and had
Albright, who is an old man, Overtakrn
him, he would no doubt have received :.
severe thrashing from the long haired ri
tleman for his trouble.
A number Of men went in pursuit of
Wild Harry and secured the fields in the
vicinity, and finally he was found secre:,d d
in chicken house on the premises Of John
Mclaughlin, No. 51s East Chestnut street.
He was taken into custody, placed in
charge Of an officer and recOmmitte,l 4"
