COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
Before ,lulre PatfarSOu.

Before Judge Patterson.
In the case of Anthony Homan VS.. GOtt-
leib Henne, the jury found in favor of the
plaintiff in the sum of s195.62.
Samuel w. Kurtz VS.. David s. Miller
and Samuel H. Roger, action for wages.
The plaintiff assisted Kurtz, Miller's part
ner, in constructing lot of wagons,
and brought this suit to recover
the wages alleged to be due him.
The defense was that Miller and Kurtz
were Not partners. After hearing the tes-
timony the court instructed the jury to
render their verdict in favor of the plain
tiff. The verdict was so rendered and the
amount of damage was assessed at s74 &C.
Before Judge Livingston.
In case of the Waynesboro' mutual
fire insurance company vs.. Geo. Shifner,
the defence was that the defendant had
been induced to take out policy in this
company by false representation. He was
told that it was cheaper than any other
company, and that by paying 50 or SO
his property would be insured for five
years. When he signed the premium note
he did not know what it was. 1t was
shown by II. G. Book, the agent, who i'll
duced Shiffiner to take out the policy
that he told Shiffiner there would be no
assessments for five years as he so under
stood from the general agent of the COM
pany.
In rebuttal NJ. P. Grossly, late general
agent of the company, was called, any he
stated that he did not tell Book that there
would be no assessments. The jury found
in favor of the plaintiff for 1886.

The Convention.

Advices from Harrisburg to the morning
papers are to the effect that the liveliest in
terest prevails with regard to the Demo-
cratic state convention which assemblies
there to-day, Messrs. Wallace and Ran
dali are in the field in person, aud both were
serenaded at the Bolton house, and the
former made speech. All night efforts were
making to patch up the Philadelphia quar-
rel by admitting one-half of the contesting
delegations, and it is said the leaders had
agreed upon a compromise by which the
factions were to to have equal representa-
tion in the convention, in the delegation
to Cincinnati and OH the electoral ticket.
AS it turned out, however, ,McGowan's dele
CATION had not been consulted, and, on
their arrival at late hour, they repudi-
ated the whole arrangement and left mat
ters very much as they were in the morn
ing.

DisOrderIy Conduct.

Persons visiting the opera house are
much annoyed by gangs of rude and dis
orderly boys who assemble outside near
the entrance to the building. The police
officers drive them away and sometimes
arrest them, but generally let them off on
promise of good behaviour. Last evening
Officer Weitzel arrested young man
named Henry Steffy, aged 16 years, who
has frequently before been disOrderly and
has three or four times been arrested and
let of unpunished. To make an example
of him, and as warning to others, he was
taken before Alderman McConomy this
morning and by him committed to the
county Jail for five days.

The BRIBERS.



A telegram from Harrisburg says that
night to attend William F. Rumberger,
one of the bribery convicts. and that the
doctor prOnounces Rumberger insane in
consequence of imprisonment.
There is rumor that special meeting
of the Board of pardons is to be held for
consideration of the bribery convict cases.
What Mr.. Palmer Says.
Attorney General Palmer, member of
the board Of pardons of Pennsylvania, in
an intervirw with Herald correspondent,
said that the generally published report
that at the last meeting of the board it
was agreed to pardon the band of legisla-
tive corrupters. Kemble, Rumberger,
Petroff, Salter and Crawford, at the
next or any subsequent meeting
of the board, is lie. The attorney
general emphasized the expression.
He furthermore intimated that unless some
new and entirely unforeseen evidence will
be adduced he and Lieutenant Governor
Stone will not vote for pardon. Intimate
friends of the attorney general freely ex-
press the opinion that the vindictive as
saults made by the ring press of the state,
and particularly that Of Philadelphia, in
consequence of the refusal Of Messrs. Pal
mer and Stone to vote for pardon has not
conserved the interests of the grand quin-
tuplc.
Pennsylvania's Precedent.
N. Y. Herald.
The Keystone state has done her neigh
bors an invaluable service by showing her
self able to do justice without regard to the
previous standing of offenders, and to en-
force those laws against legislative corrup-
tiOn which, i'll her code, as in those of her
sister states, have slumbcred SO long that
they have appeared to be dead. The spec
tacle of bank president and ex-public OFF,
cial, two legislators and two ex-members
of the law-making body all in prison garb
and close confinement is not pleasing
one, but it is more creditable to the state
and assuring to the people than if the
same men, with their crime proved
against them, were by any legal quibble
allowed to remain at large and corrupt
the rising generation by maintaining
the appearance of responsibility. The
question now arises, What stat will be first
to place herself on record besides Pennsyl-
vania as the relentless foe of men who at
tempt to corrupt public officials? Most
men suspect and all politicians know that
the purchase of legislative votes is of
frequent occurrence, and that the
money is often supplied by men
of prominence in business and So
cial circles they also know that grand
.jurics would not have much difficulty in
discovering the names of the guilty parties,
with such facts as would lead to convic-
tion by any ordinary jury. Is there an
other state that could save as much money
for its taxpayers and relieve itself of as
much disgrace by attention to this subject
as New York?

TIE Harrisburg Patriot has story
which it dignifes with double-leaded edi-
tOrial type, that somebody has offered a
delegate three thousand dollars for his
seat in the Democratic state convention.
That is a very remarkable narrative and
discloses Il very high value for conven-
tion seat. 1t is a good deal more than
we would have suspected that any one
would offer for even a national conven-
tion seat. If this is the market value for
place in the state convention it would
seem to show that public faith in Demo-
cratic success is very large !; and Demo
Gratis who are particularly enthusiastic
about the political success of their party
and who do have more faith in the liber-
ality of politicians than they have in
their honesty may be able to persuade
themselves to swallow the Patriot story
whole the rest of us will incline to look
upon it as very fishy.

MIR. TILDEN NOT A CANDIDATE.
His Rumored Preference for Field or Han

cock.
A letter was in circulation at Harrisburg
last night, from General Franklin, of Con-
necticut, detailing an interview had by the
former with Judge Jerry Black, in which
letter it is stated that Mr.. Black had an
interview with Mr.. Tilden prior to his de-
parture for Europe, in which he (Mr. Til
den( said that he was not candidate, as
his health was failing, although his mind
was clearer than ever. Judge Black urged
Mr.. Tilden to throw his influence in favor
of Hancock, to which Tilden replied that
his choice lay between Judge Field and
General Hancock.
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1880-04-28

JUDGE BLACK, before he sailed for
Europe last Saturday, had an interview
with Mr.. Tilden, as appears from a let
ter which Andrew H. Dill produces at
Harrisburg from General VIM. B. Frank
lin of Hartford, to whom Judge Black
wrote. Mr.. Tilden told the judge that
he would not be a candidate at Cincin-
natl. The authority for this statement is
SO good, although it comes somewhat in a
roundabout fashion to the public, that it
will be accepted as unveiling Mr.. Tilden's
intention. 1t is but what it might
have been supposed to be by any one of
ordinarily good judgment. There is as
little doubt that Mr.. Tilden will have
presidential choice which he will have
much influence in persuading the conven-
tion to accept; and there is abundant
material from which he may select an
acceptable man.

GATCHELL.
Useful Campaign Document,


Philadelphia Chronicle-Herald.
We are delighted to see that our "old
friend" (the copyrighted term is used by
kind permission of Colonel Forney), DR.. j.
c. GatcheIl, is candidate for reelection
to the Legislature as Martic townships
"favorite SON." We know of an excellent
work of art, in possession of Sunday
newspaper in this city, which would be of
great service to DR.. Gatchell in his cam
paign. 1t represents the doctor, in his
clawhammer coat of peculiar cut, standing
"erect and free," with whitewash brush
under his arm. At his feet is bucket of
whitewash. In the background, but not
too far off to be out of reach, is a coop of
sick roosters. We remind Dr. Gatchell of
this illustration of himself in his great role
because we think it may be useful in his
campaign.
Will he Watched With Interest.
Harrisburg Independent.
DR.. Jacob C. Gatchel and Fred. L.
Gantz, two of the Lancaster county Re-
presentatives who voted for the four mil
lion steal at the last session of the Legisla-
ture, have the boldness to ask the taxpay-
ers of that county for a denomination.
Whether the Republicans of the Old Guard
will endorse that vote by renominating
these gentlemen for a seat in the House Of
Representatives., is a question that will be
watched with a great deal of interest by
the people of the entire state, and might
possibly have All influence in shaping the
political status of the next legislature

that the "machine managers cannot

IT is comforting to know that while the
queens politics are to be looked after by
Liberal peers the queens petticoats are to
be looked after by Liberal Peeress-the
Duchess of Westminster has been made
Mistress of the Robes.
REV. F. d. MOORE, Presbyterian cler-
gyman Of Covington, KY, in sermon last
month, claimed that it was proper to use
Sunday as day of recreation as we'll as
devotion. This utterance the Ebenezer
presbytery at Greenup, KY, of which he
is a member, has declared heretical. Mr..
Moore quilted the presbytery on the an
nouncement of the vote.
Four state conventions are holding to-
day, which may have an important bear
ing upon the presidential nominations.
The Democrats Of Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut and the Republicans of Ohio and
Arkansas will select delegates to the re-
spcctive national conventions, and the re-
suit is eagerly watched by the adherents of
half a score of presidential aspirants, all of
whom will be sure to descry some bearing
on the prospects of their favorites in the
great free -for-all in June.
THERE is not only phonetic similarity
between the Whitaker case with one t
and the Whitaker case with two t's,
but they correspond also in the circum-
stance of being wonderfully long -winded.
In the Philadelphia case the patient public
begin to see daylight, since the evidence,
complex and seemingly interminable as it
was, is at length all in, and the argument
is at length in progress upon its merits.
AS to the West Point case, the further it
proceeds the more it gets mixed, and the
expanse of its possible duration widens
daily. The main facts in both cases ap-
pear to be enveloped in good deal of mys-
terry in spite of all the efforts to clear
them up.
Now it is the farmers or the dairymen
who ask Congress for protection. They
want tax of ten cents per pound put
upon oleomargarine, the rival of dairy
butter. But why, queries the Philadel-
phia Ledger, should any such discrimina-
ting tax be imposed except to break down
not a foreign but home industry. The
tax proposed sis wholly indcfensible, "
for whether man in the city takes the
fat or a man in the country takes the milk
of COW, to produce an oily, unctuous sub
stance for use as food, he is equally enti-
tied to protection" at least to the ex-
tent of being treated with equal and exact
justice. There is, in fact, no reasonable
objection to oleomargarine as such there
is the best of reasons, however, why buy
ers should be protected from dealers who
fraudulcntly sell it as butter.

among tho country S most promising sing
ers. AS Virginia last night she fairly Cap
tivated her audience not less by the
freshness and vivacity of her acting, be-
speaking her possession of actual dra-
matte genius, than by the
splendid quality and compass of
her voice, with which people every
where are familiar. She sings with fervor
and earnestness that materially enchance
the beauty of the music. Her rendition of
the role of the innocent and affectionate
child of nature, unschooled in the arts of
the "most rcspe ctab!e society,"" and yet
manifesting retiring modesty that we'll
becomes her girlish face and petite
form, was positive revelation. Miss
Abbott has learned the art of
facial expression and looks what she sings.
In the rendition of the touching appeal,
Forgive, pray" in the first act, where
she is interceding for a runaway slave,
this was especially notable, and the spec
tator is left in no wonder that the hard
hearted planter finds it impossible to resist
such pleading countenance. The elegant
basket of flowers handed on to
the stage as the curtain descended
upon this scene was the tribute of some en-
thusiastic admirer in the audience, and
in response to an imperative call before the
curtain Miss Abbott appeared and grace
fully bowed her Acknowledgements. Many
of her hest numbers indeed were encored
the charming love duo "By the air I
BREATHE" sung in unison by R.ul and

acting of operatic compositions appar-
