Nl;eNn0rcllOr SOciabl0.

Last evening the Lancaster M,ennerchOr
gave one Of their pleasant entertainments in
their hall, which was as usual ON occasions
Of this chara. ter largely attended by men,
bers and their families. Tho cuStomary
concert programme was dispensed with,
though there were few fine selections
rendered in their well-knOwn excellent style
by the Menncrchor, and solos by Mr..
Harry G. Mellinger and Master Tommy
McEvOy, all of which called out liberal
applause. Tho dancing began early and
continued late. Taylor's popular Orches-
ira was present, and to the inspiring strains
of the music the fleet hours sped rapidly
away in the graceful and merry
dance, all entering with zest into the pre-
vailing spirit. The refreshments were at
tractivsly and abundantly served in tho
lower room ut very moderate cost, and tho
inner man was not permitted to suffer for
lack CT good things. The gentlemen Of
the M;cnnerchOr having these sOciables in
charge arc to be complimented on the sue
cess that uniformly crowns their efforts.

That "nOrrld !" Owl.
Y Wilmington Every Evening.


The Lancaster Onl, by its vile and OBJ
scene publications, continues to excite tho
anger of many people in our community,
whether they arc favored (?) with q notice
or not. A great many, Of course, laugh at
the items which it contains, but others do
not, for the lying pen of this vile publica-
ton, in comparison with which the illus,
tratcd police papers are models Of decency,
is liable to do irreparable injury to worthy
people, especially to young ladies' whose
characters it may choose, without warrant,
to assault. In view Of the fact that there
IS doubt as to whether its sale can be
legally suppressed here, a number Of our
citizens have resolved not to purchase or
read it under any circumstances, aud if the
remainder of the community can repress
it's curiosity and follow this example, the
circulation Of this organ Of depravity can
be slapped.

to room upstairs. AS soon as be was
gone the crowd entered and hustled the
detective out of the way. A ropo was
thrown over Snydcr's neck, and he wa,
dragged and pushed to the door. The
clergyman implored the lynchers to pause
and addressing Snyder, said : "Thcy will
make short work with yoa do you want
to say a prayer p
lie answered "No, want to be hung.
[ never said bat one prayer, and that is
enough" He fell down the front steps
and they dragged him on his back to 4
tree. The detective fought his way to
Snyder's side and said, 81 can't save YOU,
Snyder" He replied, coolly, ooh, that's
all right" A double clothesline was put
round his neck in 4 moose, and the other
end was thrown over the limb of a chest
nut tree. Then they swung him up.
The rope slipped down the limb. and
lie fell to tho ground. Then 4 man
mounted the tree and passed the rope
over another limb, and they swung him
up again. He showed no fear and
never asked for mercy. The rope was
made fast to the fence OH the other side of
the road and he was left hanging for half
an hour. When the coroner came down
from the inquest the body was still hang
ing to the tree. When District Attorney
Anstett arrived the body lay ut the foot
Of the tree. No information could be Oh
tanned as to the lynchers. No arrests have
been made. The coroner's jury found that
Jacob and Anna Gogle came to their
death from blows inflicted with an axe in
tho hands Of Joseph Snyder.
Too much credit cannot be given to the
brave and determined efforts of Detective
Iohc in trying to save the prisoners life.
Three times did he drag him from under
the fatal limb. and winding the rope
around his right arm placed his own body
between the murderer AMI his enemies.
The prisoner, instead of pleading for mercy
and his life, seemed to rather court death,
and in direct opposition to the efforts Of
Mr.. Yohe placed himself under the tree.
An agile youth mounted the tree, and
threw the rope over one Of It's branches. |
The eager crowd, numbering about 100,
grabbed the other, and hauled the mur-
derer up. So quickly was it accomplished
that Yoke, whose arm was still enJwined
in the rope, was hoisted three or four feet |
into the air with the murderer. The pris-
oner was asked if he had anything to say,
and confessed in trembling voice that he |
had tried to ravish the girl, and had mur-
dercd the parents in revenge for his failure.
Coroner Uhler cut the body down and it |
was removed to the county poorhouse.

out a sound the door opened, and
Nettie entered.
As she did so, Densmore stepped

glance the girl comprehended all,

officers secured the others, who were
