A Dirty Set.

Henry Clay Dean, the Western
orator, whose ideas are cleaner than his
linen, says that Garfield was elected by
8 the combination Of Deecher, who, for
two decades, has polluted literature, and
who was caught in crime, with Conkling
who has been pranciEg for years with
another man = wife: and Ingersoll, who
read a writ ofcjectlneEt against Almighty
God and "A jai. delivery to hell
And il will strike most people that this
is not only Il felicitous description of the
agencies that elected Garfield, but that
the candidate was strilsingly i'll harmony
with the instruments. What dirty crew
it is. 10 be sure. and what a happy land
to he thus politically controlled. Amid
their congratulations over their success
there must he in the Republican heart
deep disgust at the agencies
that helped to secure il, and at
the fact that their party spirit call
ed upon them to accept such help
and to support such 4 candidate. 1t
cannot he cheerful thing to have elected
to the presidency a man whom half Of
the people believe has sworn falsely, and
to have been the hired instrument of
those who sought to put their hands into
the treasury, over which Garfield was
placed on guard rs the peoples servant
and representative. Nor to have, rs a
chief apostle of the party, a man OF the
moral character of Conkling, who has
been hunted out of betrayed husband S
house with a shotgun at his back, before
the eyes Of the whole world.

We Democrats can stand it since the
disgrace is not Of our fetching; but it
must sadly trouble the conscienccs of
such Republicans rs are embarrassed
with any that their vote has brought this
thing to pass. They quiet themselves
by believing, or pretending too, that the
good of the country required their party
to rule; and that the dirtiest Republican
was, therefore, preferable to the cleanest
Democrat that is the meaning of what
they have said in electing Garfield over
Hancock; for the purity of the one is az
conspicuous as the impurityof the other.
They cannot be right. No party can
benefit the country that is vilcly led, and
no sensible person can 50 believe. 1t was

MUSIC.

Tho Nentielssohn 0uintst Mt Fulton Hall,
The appearance Of the Mendelssobn
Quintet at Fulton opera house last night
was greeted BY an audience remarkable
chiefly for its limited numbers. and the
most charitable construction that can be
put upon this manifest lack Of apprec;a-
ton of high art in music on the part Of the
community is " suppose that the unfav-
Orable weather and dangerous condition
Of the sidewalks deferred many from ven
turing out Of doors, who otherwise
would have been eager to en-
brace the opportunity Of hearing
this famous organization. The Mendelssohn
is composed Of five gentlemen rs follows ::
Isidor Schnitzler. violin; Ernst Thiele,
violin; Thomas Ryan, clarinet and viola !;
William Schade flute and viola Frederick
Giesc, viOloncello. Each man is thorough
master Of his intrument and it is practical
ly impossib'y to imagine any more perfect
execution than distinguishes their per
fOrmancs. which is the very poetry Of
music, and conveys to the apprehension Of
the cultivated audience with wonderful IL
deity the inmost conception of the cOmpO-
ser and all the occult beauties Of his work.
The programme last evening was selected
with admirable Judgment and artistic
taste and We present it in full.

Correcting the Electoral BlunGer,
In accordance with the order of the In.
diana state board of canvassers, the votes
of the districts were tabulated, and the ag-
gregate vote of the state shows that Gar
field had 232, 164 Hancock. 225, ,522 ;Wea.
yer, 1886; Garfield's plurality, G,642.
The vote for governor was Porter, 231,-
405; Ianders, 224, ,452; Gregg, 14,ss1. 1t
has been ascertained that, except in two
precincts of Putnam county, the errors
which show votes enough for Thomas W.
Bennett to defeat Parker arc errors in
transcribing by the clerks Of the several
counties in these two precincts. The fault
is with the election officers, and cannot De
reinedied. The state Offices have agreed
to allow the errors of the clerks to be cor
rected, so that Mr.. Parker will receive his
certificate of election and the total elcc-
toral vote of the state be given for Gar
field.

IDENTIFIED.

The Victim of tho big Bridge Accident.
The man who was killed by the cars on
Thursday n short distance east Of the Big
Conestoga railroad bridge, the particu.
lars of which have already appeared in the
INTELLIGENCER, has been fully identified
by Lawrence Smith and Mrs. Hetshe, OF
Columbia, as Swiss named Max YOpe,
who came to this country not less than q
dozen years ago, and who has travelled
through all parts Of the United States,
and in Brazil and other parts Of South
America. In the yalise Of the dead man
was likeness of himself and like
ness of Lawrence Smith, given to
him by that young man about a year
and u half ago. Mr.. Smith remembers
him as q labOrer on the Columbia &
Port Deposit railroad several years ago
and Mrs. Heltshe remembers him rs one
OF her boardcrs. He was stone cutter by
trade and worked in Philadelphia, st.
Louis and other places. He was last seen
in Columbia about three weeks
ago, when he said lie was going
West, as wages were much better in
St. Louis than in Philadelphia. He is
said to have been well educated, an excel.
lent workman in marble work and a
steady, sober man, though given to roam
ing. Among his effects was found a pawn
ticket issued by Joseph l. Harvey, corner
of Fifth and South streets, Philadelphia,
dated October II, 1880, showing that the
holder who gave his name as Moore had
borrowed $3.50 ON coat and book. His
wandcrings appear to have been somewhat
crratic. He was in Philadelphia on Octo-
Der II, vas in Columbia about three
weeks ago, and from there took the cars
for Pittsburgh he was in this city on
Thanksgiving day and bought at Bakers
drug store y box of cold cream for the
lips, the box being found in his valise
after his death, and he was killed while on
his way, apparently, to Philadelphia. His
age was about 40 years and lie is repre-
sented rs being 4 very entertaining COM
panion, being able to give graphic descrip-
tions of all the many places in the world
that he had visited. n part Of n letter
in German, apparently written by him in
1866, at Philadelphia, and addressed
to ''dear brother Herman" speaks in af-
fcctiOnatc terms of his father. sick mother
and sisters and from the tone of the let
ter it would seem that tho "pharisaical
priests - had blamed him for some
olfensc, Of which lie was not
guilty, and caused him to leave
Switzerland. Mr.. Smith says he has
frequently heard him say lie had no rcla-
tives in this country, but that his parents,
brother and sisters lived in Switzerland,
but lie forgcts the address.
The remains of the unfortunate man will
be inferred in the county burial ground
connected with the almshouse.

Upset of q Sleigh.

This morning two countrymen were driv-
ing along West King street, and when they
arrived at the corner of Prince their
sleigh caught in the street railway track
and was upset. Both were thrown out
and a lot of groceries, &C., which were in
the sleigh we're spilled all over the street.
Neither of the men was hurt nor was the
sleigh broken.

A sPKAGUE REMINDER.
Tie Great Moving Machine Company At
taCheN.

tacheGl.
The attorney for Mr.. Zachariah Chafcc,
trustee of the A. s. w. Sprague manufac-
turing company, of Rhode Island, has at
tached all the property Of the Sprague
moving machine company for 81 900, 900,
and the same has been placed on record.
The Sprague moving machine company
was one Of the projects of the Spragues at
the time that they had plenty of money,
and, like many other irons they had in the
fire, was losing Investment. When
the final collapse of the Spragues
occurred in 1873, the Sprague now
ing machine company was heavily in
debted to them as the A. s.
w. Sprague manufacturing company,
and this attachment is made to square up
if possible the OLD account. The property
consists of eleven lots of land with build.

rison and Warren streets, Newport, fifteen
lots of land on Fuller, Sprague and Har-
rison streets, and five lots Of land on Har-

About Water.

Our neighboring city of Reading is III
a very bad way for lack. of water. The
dependence is upon the supply from
springs, and that has failed owing to the
dry weather. Why the city does not
seek its supply from the Schuylkill we
do not know, but we suppose that the
springs were thought sufficient and their
water preferable. The idea was mis-
taken one and the river will probably
have to be resorted to at last. Its water
ought to be sufficiently pure Phil
adelphia gets the same, and Har-
risburg does not have anything
nearly as good in the water Of the
Susquehanna. The people Of the
city have good cause to complain Of the
lack Of foresight of their rulers that has
brought them into the unpleasant trou-
ble they are now in. But it seems that
the question Of water supply is one with
which nearly all city authorities are
unable to properly grapp!e. There are
not many towns that are content with
Lancaster is pretty we'll fixed in that it
does not suffer just now for lack Of
water, but they tell us that our steam
pumps have more than they can do to
keep up the supply in summer time, and
that if they should bread down we would
have a famine certainly. Our water
wheels have not been operating for six
months or more, owing to the IOwness OF
the water in the creek. The expensive
machinery which the city has put IN to
utilize this power is wholly useless. 1t
would seem that it ought not to be so,
1t is hard to believe that, with the long
stretch of creek under control Of the city
no water power at all can he had, though
there always is water, and good dea
of it, running away. If the fall is moi
great enough at the present site in time
of low water, why not follow the stream
down until sufficient fall is obtained
