THE M'GIBENYS.
Tn. second Visit to Lancaster.

The SecOnd Visit 70 Lancaster.
Last evening the McGibeny family ap-
peared in the opera house to a very large
audience, who gave them 4 very warm re-
ception after their absence. The enter
tainment was excellent throughout and
almost every piece was encored. The pro-
gramme included the character sketch en-
titled 1.-THE Best Old Man Alive" which
was given by Master Victor and his
little sister Florence. They were both at
tired as old people and the act pleased all,
especially the young folks in the audience.
The popular " "Peek-a-Boo" was also given
with decided success. This family is
really wonderful. The children are all
fine musicians and they seem to be i'm
proving greatly. Their engagement here
continues two more nights and the opera
house will doubtless be packed at each per-
formance, as better entertainment Of the
kind is not given here.
Tomorrow evening the little band, COM
posed of the members of the McGibeny
family, Clemmens's City band and the Citi-
zens' band, will give an illuminated street
parade from the Pennsylvania depot to
the opera house. Tomorrow afternoon a
matinee will be given at o'clock.

Seize all the Pigs.

Judge Livingston has some sharp and
deserved words of criticism upon the
practice of constables and justices in
sending vagrants to the;prison, to receive
the fees, land in avoiding interference with
unlicensed groggeries, because of their
political influence. But just here we are
compelled to remind the judge that he
needs to beware of his footsteps. It is
but short while since that these police
men whom he denounces arrested and
brought to trial before him one of the
best.political workers inthe Eighth ward
for an offenSe against the license laws,
of which he now speaks so bravely in vim
dication. This man escaped through the
assurance of the commonwealth attor-
ney, made to Judge Livingston, that there
was no evidence against him which
was not true, as they had reason to know.
Judge Livingston has never to this day,
though often called upon to do SO, taken
any measures to punish the parties guilty
of this gross fraud upon the court. But
he has agreed to our disbarment because
we declared that criminals escaped
through political influence, just as he
now charges that grog-shop keepers es-
capped the constables' clutches because of
their political influence.
But does it occur to the judge that po-
licemen may be discouraged by the escape
of these men when arrested, through po-
litical influence in the higher channels of
justice, and that they cannot be severely
blamed for playing the game their super
iors teach them ? He ought to seize all

From ]. R. Young's Washington letter
in the Star: "Mr. RUFUS E. SHAPLEY was
here for few days early in the week, tho
guest of General Bingham. The general
took the handsome Rufus all around and
showed him the sights, from the statue of
the dying Tecumseh, in the crypt of the
Capitol, to Don Cameron's highly frescoed
committee room. The ladies thought
Rufus was Just too handsome to live,
and the young society men looked on that
collar of Rufus's with envy. If it is going
to be matter of beauty and shirt collar
George Graham will have no show for the
succession of Mr.. Hagert."

Pledging Liquor Sellers.

Judge Junkin, of Perry county, believes
he has some discretion in the matter Of
granting tavern licenses to sell Intoxicating
liquors, and in the holding Of landlords to
a strict accountability for the abuse OF
their licenses. He is also one of the most
humorous of judges in the state, and at
the court last week he made all applicants
to whom license had been granted take the
"pledge" in the following form:
In the Court Of Quarter Sessions Of Perry
County.
WHEREAS, It has been discovered that
many persons ofknown Incorporate habits,
and to whom liquor is refused at the bars
of the retailers, are provided with intOxi-
eating drink by men of sober habits pro-
curing it at the bars of the retailers in
bottle, and then selling it again to those to
whom it has been refused:
AND WHEREAS, So long as this is done,
it is impossible to prevent drunkenness;
AND WHEREAS, I have applied to the
court of quarter sessions, of Perry county,
for license, ETC., to sell intoxicating liquors
which was granted upon condition that l
would solemnly bind myself in writing, rs
follows, namely, that 1 would not sell
intoxicating liquors by the bottle to any
person within the range of my acquaint-
ance, unless that know him to be man
of known integrity, and incapable from
his character as a man and citizen, of
either giving or selling such liquor to such
persons as by law l :am forbidden to sell
across my own bar. And l agree that if it
is proved that l have violated this written
pledge, the court may revoke the license
so granted as aforesaid without proof of
any other cause for so doing.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set
my hand this 18th day of April, 1ssO.'
The first man called was BENJAMIN Rit-
ter, of Loysville, the big landlord of Perry
county, and the judge told him he kept
one of the best hotels in the county, and
that was the reason he called him first. All
the landlords, against whom there were no
remonstrances, signed the paper.

number Of witnesses testified to the GOOD
character Of the defendant for honesty and
integrity. After argument by counsel and
a charge to the jury by Judge Livingston,
the jury rendered verdict of not guilty
without leaving the box.
Commonwealth VS.. Geo. Wahl, John
Wahl, Wesley Bitner, VIM. Walters and
Reuben kise, indicted for malicious mis-
chief. George Wahl Is supervisor of the
borough of Washington, and the other de-
PENDANTS were employed by him as assist
ants. 1t appears that re-survey of the
street lines had been made by order of the
borough council. and they gave notice to
property owners to set back their fences to
the line designated. BENZ. Sbultz, whose
fence was about two and one-half feet out
of line, refused to remove his fence, and
1t was pulled down by the supervisor !;
Shultz rebuilt the fence in November last
and on the 2d day of November, George
Wahl and the other defendants came with
axes and cut down about 40 feet of the
fence, only desisting when Mr.. Shultz and
his brother ordered them to do so. Mr..
Shultz testified that his fence was on the
original line Of the borough, that it had
been there perhaps fifty years he pro-
duced an old map of the borough to prove
this. The fence destroyed was worth
90 60 or more.
For the defence it was shown that
private property owners had been en-
croaching ON the public highways for
years. that a re-survey was ordered by
council and the original lines were restored :;
that the re-survey made by DIR. Goerke
showed that Shultz's fence encrOached q
feet OH the street line DR.. Goerke's sur

Free Press IN Pennsylvanla.


Public attention in Pennsylvania is occu-
pied with the action of Judge Patterson,
of Lancaster, in recently ordering the
names of A. ]. Steinman and w. U. Hen
sci struck from the roll of attorneys in his
court, for publication out of court re-
specting the conduct of the judges" 1t is
a curious and interesting case. The dis
barred attorneys are editors as we'll as
attorneys; they have charge of two papers
in Lancaster, and the offence that brought
down upon them the summary visitation
of judicial vengeance was publishing some
criticisms on Judge Patterson's court,
which, from all that we are able to gather,
were as richly deserved as they were severe.
1t seems that a person who is an active
and influential local politician had been ar
raigned for keeping a disorderly house.
His counsel informed the associate prose-
cutting attorney that "the Snyders were
the best workers in the ward" and the as
sociate reported to his chief that there was
no case against the prisoner. When the
trial came on there was no prosecution
worth mentioning, and the defendant was
acquitted, without an examination of wit
nesses, Judge Patterson, of course, know
ing nothing about the reason. The two
leading papers of Lancaster, one Demo-
cratic and the other Republican, denounced
the whole proceeding, and the prosecuting
attorney brought suits against one OF
them for libel. These suits came up for
trial in Judge Patterson's court, and the
testimony showed pretty clearly that the
defendant in the previous case had been
leniently dealt with when he ought to have
been vigorously prosecuted and punished.
Public opinion was SO strong that second
indictment was found against him, but
when it came up for trial Judge Patterson
ruled that the former acquittal entitled the
prisoner to a discharge. This provoked a
fresh criticism from the editors, who
declared that the last acquittal.
like the first, was secured by a
prostitution of the machinery of Justice
to serve the exigencies of the Republican
party, but as all the parties implicated, as
well as the judges, belong to that party,
the court is unanimous-for once-that it |
need take no cognizance of the imposition
practiced upon it and the disgrace attach
ing to it." This was very strong Ian
guage, it must be admitted, but it seems
to have been case where such language
was called for, as there had been, in the |
estimation Of the community, prostitu-

A special dispatch to the Times from
Columbia says: "The Susquehanna roll
ing mill of this place, which, for reasons
stated in the Times, shut down, will re-
sumo operations on Wednesday. The

or 81 less than they received before the
shutdown. A corresponding reduction
will be made in wages paid beaters, rollers,
helpers and other employees of the mill.
At the Shawnee mill the situation is i'm
proving, with a prospect of an carly re-
sumption. The fires will, in all proba-
bility, be lit next week and the men re-
quired to work but five heat terms. 1t

EXCOMMUNiCATED
By the Westminster Presbytery.

Ey the Wcstminater l'resbytery.
This body met in the Presbyterian
church of this city this morning. Rev.
w. G. Alexander presided and the follow
ing members were present: Revs. DIR.
Stewart, of Union J. Y. Mitchell, city ;
w. B. Brown, Mount joy; John Mccoy,

Alexander, Union; John A. Patterson,
Donegal; Solomon Martin, Pequea, and
Hon. d. W. Patterson, city.
The Bridells case being taken up, ac-
cording to the book Of discipline of the
church, a number of witnesses were heard
and when the hearing was concluded, n
committee was appointed, who presented
the following, which was unanimously
adopted
The presbytery of Westminster have
,judicially heard the case of Rev. W. J.
Bridells and have determined to sustain
the first and the third charges tabled
against him by the committee of prosecu-
tiOn, namely: charges of drunkenness and
falSehOOd. In coming to this conclusion
the presbytery call to mind the sacrifice
this man made in early life in his entrance
upon the ministry and would fain hope that
this sad fall might possibly be owing. as
has been suggested by some of his friends,
to alteration of mind. Nevertheless the
facts compel the presbytery to the
aforesaid determination, and therefore
the painful duty devOlves upon them
of deposing him from the gospel ministry,
and communicating him from the church.
Your committee, therefore, recommend the
following:
ResOlyed, That the Rev. ". ]. Bridells, Il
member of this presbytery, he and hereby
is deposed from the gospel ministry.
Resolred, That the Rev. W. ]. Bridells he
and hereby is excOmmunicated from the
visible church of Jesus Christ.
Adjourned with prayer.

A New Route.

The directors of the new Baltimore and
Chicago railroad, at Pittsburgh, adopted
what is known as the Wooster route, to
connect Pittsburgh with Chicago Junction,
the friends of that route pledging that
there should be contributed in Ohio
towards the construction of the road
$1,000 per mile, sufficient to grade and
bridge the line in Ohio, and in addition
thereto free right of way within sixty
days. The proposed road is 14S miles in
length, and. should it be constructed,
would make another through line from
Baltimore to Chicago, via Pittsburgh,
passing through some of the most pro-
ductive counties in Ohio. A committee
was appointed to visit Baltimore to confer
with President Garrett, of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company, and also with
the president of the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie company, to obtain their aid and con-
currence.

Plant Club Last Evening.

All the seats were occupied and a goodly
number of persons present were compelled
to stand. The brief review of the first
chapters in the text book being disposed
of with half dozen questions which Mr..
Burrowes, the leader of the class, had
placed upon the blackboard, the next fea-
ture of the evening was the analysis of the
Shepherds Purse Capsella bursapastoris)
of the mustard family. This plant is
said to be one of the two most widely dis
tributed throughout the world. Each
member Of the class was requested to
write out the analysis five times so as to
become more familiar with it.
The special subject of the evening was
"The Seed" which was presented by MI.
]. P. McCaskey, who illustrated his paper
with seeds of various kinds. from the cocoa
nut as it appears when taken from the
tree, the largest of all seeds, to some that
were so small that their forms could only
be seen under microscope magnifying fifty
and eighty diameters. Two instruments
belonging to the Microscopical society
were handled skillfully by Mr.. E. w. Nc
Caskey in these illustrations. A box of
plants had also been sprouted to show the
growth from the seed of the squash,
pumpkin, melon, pea, Indian corn, ETC.,
all but the last being seeds containing two
catzledons. Almonds and other seeds that
had been previously soaked in water were
distributed to the class for examination of
embryo and albumen. A set of fine charts
was also used in illustration of this very
interesting subject. The paper appointed
for next meeting of the club will be read
by Miss Marie Kemp. Her subject will be
