Lancaster City Democratic.

The extravaganza and recklessness of
the Republicans of Lancaster city are bear
ing their legitimate fruits of punishment.
That party, having proved itself danger
Gus and untrustworthy through a long and
wasteful rule, is relieved Of the reins of
government and given back seat. Two
years ago Mr.. MacGonigle, a Democrat, was
elected mayor on the narrow margin of
fifty-three votes 1t was not strict party
victory, for many Republicans, weary of
tho extravaganza of their own party, re-
fused to support it's candidate. The choice
of the city was a wise one, as Mayor Mac
Gonigle proved to be an efficient and care
full official, who zealously guarded the
trusts submitted to him. Last Tuesday
another municipal election was held, and a
tremendous effort was made to defeat
Mayor MacGonigle, who was a candidate
for reelection. Instead of being successful
the Republicans were badly beaten in every
particular The present mayor was re-elect-
ed by majority of 817, and with him a
majority of the councilmen, giving the
city almost entirely into the hands
of the Democrats. Considering that
last fall the city gave a Repub-
lican majority of 4S3 for State Treas
urer Butler, this vote for mayor means a
gain of I, 800 out of an aggregate of 5, 1927.
This indicates deep-seated distrust, for
when a Republican stronghold like this
city repudiates its party, there is just rea-
son to believe that the cause is very Sc
rious one. It is evident that the people
took the matter in hand and arose in their
strength and threw off the yoke of Repub-
lican misrule. Lancaster is to be congrat-
ulated that she has come out of the hands
of the Philistines as little crippled as she
is, and if she now remains careful to keep
out of the power of her former despoilers
she may hope for an era of prosperity in the
conduct of her municipal affairs.

Dr0Ded I'm Mourning.

Saturday afternoon when Harry A.
Schroyer went to the Northern market,
where, twice a week, he makes very fine
display of flowers, he found that some un-
considerable wag had draped his stall in
mourning, as a token of grief for Harry
sudden taking politically. This was a
little rough for though Harry was a sort
about Horticulture and would make his for
tune if he devoted himself wholly to that
delightful pursuit.

Rail Traffic In tho South.

An alliance has been formed between
the Louisville & Nashville and certain
other Southern railroads, which gives the
former line control of a number of routes
to the const. 1t is the expectation Of the
managers of the newly organized system
of roads that a share of the traffic between
New York and the West and between
Cuba and the West will be diverted to the
lines of the alliance. Several thousand
men are building cars for the new routes.
The South is reported to be taking great
interest in this matter, as it will bring her
ports into greater prominence.

Covered With Glory.

Altoona sun.
The Democracy of the city of Lancaster
covered themselves with enduring glory at
their municipal election last Tuesday.
Mayor MacGonigle, who two years ago
was elected by meagre majority of fifty
three, was reelected on Tuesday by a
majority in excess of seven hundred. The
Democrats also carried seven out of the
nine wards of the city. Sore heads anu
lurking treason cut sorry figure in Lam

Exciting Stories About DIR. Boyd.

Exciting Stories About DIR. BOYD.
Yesterday and this mornin. a rumor
was widely circulated through the city
that DR.. 10. Boyd. who. some weeks ago,
left Lancaster for Florida, had died sud
denly in Jacksonville . few days since.
''Who told you sO?' was the first ques-
tion by an INTELLIGENcER reporter when
informed of the sad affair. Various refer
ences were given, and the reporter pro-
ceeded to trace up the story TO its original
source. The first instalment of particu-
lars was to the effect that the doctor had
died of heart disease. This statement of
said the doctor had receiveda a ''stroke,"
but wasn't sure whether it was paralysis
or apoplexy. Mr.. c. could tell us all
about it, as he had seen the telegram.
Mr.. c., however, hadn't seen the telegram,
but Mr.. d. told him that Mr.. E. had seen
it. On interviewing Mr.. d. that gentle
man shocked the reporter by declaring
that DR.. Boyd had accidentally shot HIM
self, while out gunning-a pastime Of
which he was very fond. Mr.. ID. had,
no doubt but MIR. E. could give us the
particulars OF the tragedy. Mr.. E. had
nothing but hearsay to communicate. The
story, as he had heard it, was that DIR.
Boyd had gone out cunning, as above
| stated. and was attacked by alligatOrs.
Being dead-shot he had killed and
wounded several of them. but his ammuni-
tion becoming exhausted, he finally fell
a victim to his dreadful assail-
ants. At least Mr.. E. had been so inform
ed by Mr.. F. Mr.. F. was soon found, and
informed the reporter that DR.. Boyd was
not dead, but he had been badly bitten by
an alligator while out huntin.-so Mr.. G.
had informed him. Mr.. q. said he was
only giving F. tatfy when he told that
! yarn, but there was no mistake about it
that DR.. Boyd was a very sick man. A
letter had been received a day or two ago
by Mr.. H., from his uncle, who is now in
Florida, giving the particulars of the doc
tors illness. Mr.. II. was sought and i'll
formed the reporter that the last letter re-
ceived from his uncle stated that he met
DR.. Boyd in Jacksonville, that he was in
good health and had gone on Il cunning
expedition up the river.
1t was only the gOssips, after all, that
were trying to kill DR.. Boyd, as they did
last spring, when they set in circulation q
similar story about him. DR.. Boyd will
probably be home in Il very few weeks. and
we hope in entirely restored health

What is Gained by Good Candidates.
Isrl lefOnfe WoffhmHn

Mayor MacGoniglc, of Lancaster,
the Democratic candidate for reelection,
was triumphant on Tuesday last by more
than 800 majority. The independent Re-
publicans assisted in the election of Mr..
MacGOnigle, and the victory appears to
have been the work of the substantial
citizens, taxpayers and business men,
achieved over the attempt of a corrupt
ring to get control of the municipal affairs
of the city. Mr.. Boring was the Grant
Cameron man candidate for mayor, and
was chaperoned by Thomas 3. Cochran,
clerk of the Senate. The fight ragged
fiercely all day, but in the end the battle
was won by the friends of good municipal
administration, and Mayor MacGonigle
will enter upon his second term with the
endorsement and best wishes of all Lam
casters best people, without regard to
party. This is what the Democrats gain
by putting up good men for public Office.

THIS week will witness the New York
Republican convention, and every indi-
cation points to another victory for the
machine. A troublesome anti Grant
man has been kept out of the convention
by the defeat of George William Curtis,
and the Conkling people will have plain
er sailing than when he is in the cOnven-
tion. But they are likely to have a good
working two-thirtls of the whole body,
and will no doubt goto the most extreme
length in committing the first state of
the union to Grant Illinois is to follow,
and with Pennsylvania phalanx will be
found that is expected to be irresistible.

What Distinguished Hin.

The reelection of Mayor MacGonigle, of
Lancaster, was evidently the work of the
heavy taxpayery regardless of party. The
debt # the city had been increased from
1856, GOO in 1871 to 1854, 900 in 1877, and it
is now at the extreme limit. The business
men evidently thought it was time to call
a halt, and they did it by giving the mayor
a majority of Sl7. He had distinguished
himself by preventing extravagant expen-
ditures by council.

The Best Policy.

Kennett Advance.
This seems to be good year for reform.
In Philadelphia rings have suffered irrc-

while people will begin to believe that
honesty is the best policy in politics as

The Bethel supper.

All Saturday evening the lecture room
of the Union Bethel Church of God, at the
corner of Prince and Orange streets, pre-
sented an animated scene. The room was
very tastefully decorated with flags, bunt-
ing and other patriotic emblems appropri
ate to the spirit of the season, and the de-
sign Of the OrnamentatiOn reflected no
small credit upon the taste of the commit
tee having it in charge. At the south end
of the room was a table abun,lantly
laden with cold turkey, chicken. beef,
ham, and other substantials, together with
delicacies of the most tempting appear
ance and appetizing taste. The table was
very literally patronized, but the supply
was equal to the demand and no one was
permitted to go away hungry, the ladies'
in charge being assiduOus and in,iefati-
gable i'll their attentions upon their guests
The social spirit pervaded the assemblase
in a marked degree, and the affair was
success pecuniarily and in every other re-
Spect.

Survivors, Supper.

The association known as "The Survi-
vors " held their twelfth annual supper at
Copland' S on Saturday evening. The as
sociatiOn was organized in 1869 and one OF
their bylaws provides that they shall
meet annually on the 22d of February and
have supper, so long as one or more of
the members survive. Saturday evening
only the following eight members were
present John D. Skiles, VIM. S. Shirk,
John Copeland, Geo. F. Sprenger, William
D. Stauffer, J. X. Barr, Philip d. Sprech-
er and l. w. Slokom.
The following named members have
died since the organization of the associa-
ton : Charles d. Rupley, John Johns,
John X. Rutter, Edgar G. Reed, Samuel
L. Leaman, Jonathan Sprecher, Eli Lam
dis and DR.. VIM. N. Whiteside.
The following members were absent !:
r. II. Brubaker, Milton Weidler, J. G.
Muhlenberg, Abraham Landis, John J.
McGrann, Charles II. Sprecher, E. A.
Sener and Martin d. Hess.
Thus the association was severed into
three distinct and equal parts-eight men,
bcrs present, eight absent, and eight dead.
The supper on Saturday evening was a
very fine affair, got up in Copland's best
style. The Survivors assembled at half
past seven o'clock. During the banquet
toasts were drank to George Washington
and to each of the absent and dead men,
bers. There were no set speeches nor
songs, and at seasOnable hour the MEM
bers separated.

FIRES.
Not Much Damage Done.

NOT Much Damage DOne
Last night about midnight, the frame
building owned and used by John Ger7, and
situated on South Duke street extension
beyond Middle street, was discovered to be
on fire. An alarm was at once raised, the
fireman were soon on hand, and the flames
extinguished before much damage was
done. The fire was started in the corner
of the building in which the engine stands,
and may have caught from smoulderins
coal from the furnace or it may have been
set on fire. The loss will not exceed $50.
Alarm at Sprinsville.
Saturday midnight there was an alarm
of fire at Springville, and the denizens OF
that village started on the run to find the
fire. They were rewarded by discovering
an old spring wagon burning in sink
hole not far off. And thereby hangs a
tale: The owner of the wagon owed a
Mount Joy merchant a small store bill,
and the merchant attached the wagon to
secure the debt-removing it from the
yard in which it stood to an open alley.
Parties unknown removed the wagon from
the lane to the sink-hole, and set fire
to it and now the owner sues the mer-
chant for the value of the wagon.

Metropolitan Compliments to Brother
Mitchell.


Mitchell.
New York Sun.
The Rev. MIR. Mitchell, a Presbyterian
parson Of Lancaster, Pa, does not do credit
to his instructors at college. The other
Sunday he told his congregation from the
pulpit that a man had no more right to
print and sell a newspaper on the Sabbath
than to hawk potatoes through the streets
on that sacred day. The analogy implied
by the Rev. Mr.. Mitchell is no analogy a t
all. Probably he would admit that if it
were impossible for the Lancaster Presby-
terians to lay in their Sundays food on
Saturday, they would be justified in buy
ing it on Sunday, or, as he would say on
the Sabbath. But the days news is as
really necessity to the modern man as his
breakfast and dinner. And Sundays news
cannot he laid in on Saturday.
