known and Influential! citizens of Madison

purpose Of making tour along the

were Overtoken and lost in i
tremendous snow storm. The cold was

snow, all signs of the trail disappeared and
huge snow drifts made further progress
impossible They then campcd in forest,
hoping the weather would moderate ; but
instead it grew colder, and it was only by
telling timber and building large fires that
they kept from freezing. In addition t"
this danger tho stock of provisions dc
creased, and they were thus exposed to
that Of dying of starvation, as the country
was unsettled and the nearest habitatiOn
many miles away. \ number Of their
horses died OF starvation and exposure.
On the night of January Is. Sampson,

He dropped asleep. \ high wind was

WE do not much credit the intima-
tions from Harrisburg that Cameron has
no special interest in Oliver and will let
any movement get headway which looks
to a compromise to beat both Grow and
Oliver-the speaker-elect, Hewitt, Of
Blair, for instance. Oliver could not
have obtained all of his present strength
without Cameron's help, and the activity
of Cameron's lieutenants, Quay and
Magee, indicate where the FAMILY's
sympathy and support are. Cameron
could not well get a colleague to suit
him better than Oliver and to withdraw
his favor from him now would be to
ALLEVIATE elements of political power
which Cameron cannot spare. 1t may be
a wise thing, however, to give it out
that Cameron is Indifferent in the con-
test until after it is decided. Such an
impression will not hurt Oliver where
the significance of the announcement is
understood and may help him in Other
quarters.

while he was there that his betrothed,
Miss Mary Jane Kictlcr, of this city. left

A Papers Dilemma.

Easton Express.
The Lancaster INTELLIGENCEE wastes
columns of editorial space in arguing that
the lynching of Snyder was an unlawful
act. Nobody disputes that. 1t is so plain
that it docs not admit Of an argument. But
when it comes to a question of the vindica-
ton Of the law by the punishment of the
lynchers, We are met by this difficulty. tn
der the law these lynchers were guilty Of
the crime of wilful murder. To charge
them with any less offence or to allow
them to escape the punishment which the
law prescribes would be legal condona
tion of the crime. Now if the INTELLI-
GENcER seriously proposes that these men
who were moved by a natural impulse of
horror at the crime and detestation of the
brutal, filthy murderer, to execute sum-
mary justice, should all be hanged by the
neck until they are dead, it had better say
so. And if not. what does it propose
Anything short Of this would fall short of
that "vindication of the majesty of the
law" which is SO urgently insisted upon.

direction of the finance committee. was as
follows:
WHEREAS, The finance committee Of the
city of Lancaster have reported that there
is deficit in the account of Edward Wei
chans, tic city treasurer and receiver of
taxes.
Be 1t resolUed, By the select and common
councils of the said city OF Lancaster, that
the said Edward Welchans is hereby sus-
pended from the Office of city treasurer and
receiver of taxes until sucE further action
as said councils shall sec proper to take in
the premises.
Mr.. Boring hoped councils would not act
hastily in this matter. Charges had been
made against the city treasurer as long
ago as May last experts, first one and
then another, had been appointed to ex-
anime his books {; they had made different
reports. If the treasurer had been dere-
lict in his duties, if he is defaulter, as the
committee say, he should be proceeded
against by a criminal and not civil pros
ecution. His bail is ample protection
against any loss to the city. He regarded
these charges against the city treasurer as
persecution, and charged Mr.. Zecher, OF
the finance committee. with receiving
favors from the treasurer in the way of an
advance payment of his water tax.
Mr.. Zecher with considerable indigna-
tiOn responded that he had been a warm
friend Of the treasurer, but had received
no official favors from him and intimated,
very broadly, that Mr.. Boring had re-
ceived official favOrs from the treasurer
but this was in turn denied by Mr.. Boring.
