Only 2s Persons Saved Out of 227 on Board
Wrecked Steamer.
A dispatch from Cape Town says the
Union mail steamer Teuton, with 200 souls
on board including passengers and crew,
has been wrecked near Quoin Point. Only
twenty-seven persons were saved in the
steamers boats. The British corvette
Dido has proceeded to the scene of the
wreck. The Teuton arrived at Cape Town
from England Oh Monday, landed some
and embarked other passengers, and pro-
ceeded on her voyage to Algoa Bay and
other ports. Quoin Point is near near
Algoa Bay and is the scene of a previous
wreck OF 4 Union mail steamer.
The Standards dispatch from Cape
Town states that tho wrecked steamer had
on board 147 passengers and crew of
eighty persons. The vessel struck on a
rock, but foated back to port when she
sank. A majority of those on board
perished. All Of the officers were
drowned.
Lloyds' correspondent at Cape Town
says three boats were lowered, ono of
which foundered alongside the steamer,
and the other two have arrived at Simons-
town, containing twent three Of the crew
and four passengers.
The Union mail steamship company
states that twelve passengers of the
steamer have been saved.

The JudgeShlD.

The Philadelphia Times is not satisfied
with the course of the Democratic party
of this county, i'm not indorsing the Re-
publican candidate for president judge.
The INTELLIGENCERa and the great body
of Lancaster county Democrats are in
accord with the policy Of taking and
keeping the judiciary out of partisan
politics. They could not, however, see
any such significance in the proposition
of the Times. The majority party in this
county has shown no such disposition.
1t has made place on the bench a stake
for the usual disgraceful scramble after
spoils which ensues in this county, levy
ing its tax upon the judicial nominees,
and they paying it, until this year, when
it only abstained from the levy, because
the county committee had far more
money than it needed. And its
candidates have always assented to
this view of their candidacy. There
are, it is admitted by Republicans them
selves, a number Of Democratic lawyers
at this bar who would make better judges
than any Republican ever set up by his
party. A true movement to take the
bench out of politics would, it seems ma
tural, lead to the unanimous election of
one OF these. The Republicans never
propose any such thing. In Philadel-
phia, where the Democrats have nearly
half the vote, they only get two judges
out of twelve; in Allegheny, with one
third of the votes, they get none of the
five judges. In Montgomery, where twice
before there was no contest for Judge.
the Republicans propose to inaugurate
one this year, and in Bedford the situa
tion is sufficiently explained by
the announcement that John Cessna
is the Republican candidate for
judge. No one party can take the
judiciary out of politics by its own un-
supported action. Nowhere does the
Republican party favor a non-partisan

THE PROLONGED DKOUTH.
Sickness and Suffering from Lack of Water
damage to Crops.

Sickness and Suffering from Lack of Water
damage to Crops.
A special from Eldorado, Ill.,, dated
August 90, says 1t is nine weeks since
rain has fallen here, and in consequence
tie crops are nearly a failure. The dust
is almost unbearable. In some parts of
the country there is much suffering for
want of water, and great deal of sick
ness, of a typhoid form, is prevailing.
From tho best information wheat will not
average over four or five bushels per acre,
corn will make from one third to one. half
of crop, and oats will be almost an entire
failure. The meadows, which were not
injured by the army worms, will yield a
big crop of hay. Tobacco is failure, the
late potatoes almost a failure, peaches an
entire failure and apples almost worthless.
The pastures are all dried up aud no
ground is broken for wheat. The people
of Harrisburg are hauling water from the
creek to use. The farmers are. dis
posing of all the stock they can possibly
spare"
Around Wabash the weather still con
tinues dry, and tho farmers arc unable to
put in their wheat. Corn is being ruined,
and unless rain comes soon no corn will be
gathered at all. This is tho longest term
Of drouth ever known in this section.
1t is now over six weeks since there has
been any rain to amount to anything in
the vicinity of Battle Greek, Mich. The
grass is all dried up and dead, and the
corn crop is ruined. The wheat crop has
small heads which have prematurely RI
pened, and the farmers are cutting it up
for fodder. The potato crop is about ruin
ed, and unless rain comes soon it will do
hard time of it this year in that vicinity.
Yesterday was the third day tho mercury
has registered 105 degrees in the shade.
Dispatches from all parts of the prov
ince Of Ontario respecting the weather and
crops show that an unusually protracted
drouth exists almost everywhere and has
caused much loss and great Inconvenience.

on the state supreme bench because of
personal pique. Where judges have
been conspicuous for eminent ability,
great fairness and absence of partisan

here. If anybody did make such claim
it would be easy to demonstrate its empti-

Alexander Moseley, a veteran journalist,
died at his home in New Kent county,
Virginia, last night in the I'D year of his
age. The deceased was a native of Buck
ingham county. He graduated at the uni
versity of Virginia in the class of $3.50,
and began the practice of law in his native
county, but having no taste for the legal
profession he removed to Charlottesville,
where, for several years, he edited
a States Rights paper called the
Adrocate. About 1885 he became
associated with John Hampton Pleasant in
the editorial management of the Richmond
Wing, with which paper he has with but
short intervals been connected up to the
time of his last illness. He had no personal
or political aspirations. Owing to h is
great interest in fish culture, he was in
duced at one time to accept the office of
state fish commissioner. a position he held
until it became salaried office, when he
resigned. Mr.. Moselcy was decidedly
proficient in the classics and was q fluent
linguist. His remains will be taken to his
native county for interment.

THE CITY DELEGATE.

An Explanation" Of Certain Misrepresents-
tIOns.
In the Examiner of yesterday appears
the following:
In connection with the election of the
city delegate. story is told Of Baron
Steinmetz. which places him in the front
rank as Mulhooly. The Baron was for
Dunlap, but Coyle had seven Of the nine
| wards pledged to him. So tho Baron cir
culated the story that il Coylc was elected
| he would substitute w. U. HenSel us the
| delegate. This the red-hot Hartman dele
gates would not stand. They are down on
Hensel. for, as they allege, his duplicity
towards Hartman in the commissioner
fight. The Baron was equal to the emer-
gency. and scores one anti Hensel delegate
with Grier not far off,
And IN the Nsr Era:
! John n. Coylc. eSl.. WAS u prominent
candidate from the city for delegate to the
| state convention, and had seven wards of
the city pledged to him. The men who
favored Hartman for commissioner met
last night, when u report was circulated
| among them that, if elected, MIR. COyle
| would send w. U. fIensel as u substitute
and that settled it. J. L. Steinmetz is
| accredited with having started the story,
rangement had been entered into but it
| defeated him all the same"
In justice to all parties mentioned in
these publications feel bound to say that
l am positively assured by the delegates
who defeated MIR. Coyle and elected Mr..
Dunlap, that no such causes influenced
that result as are above stated and that
no such report led to Mr.. Coylc's defeat.
To those who know anything about our
local politics | need not say that Mr.. Stein
metz was not for Dunlap" nor will any
responsible person accuse him Of having
circulated the baseless rumOr which is re-
| ferred to. For no such arrangement as
COyle's substitution of myself as a dele
gate WAS ever contemplated or suggested
by him OF me. In no event would either
of us have been u party to it !; and if a
report of it WAS circulated it was Il pure
invention of ignorance or misrepresen:a-
tiOn. 4 large majority OF the delegates
from the city. were and are personal and
political friends of Mr.. Coylc, and lie was
only defeated as 4 part Of the movement
was most prominently identified
Ineed not add that practiced No ''',lu-
plicity" toward any candidate for any
Office. continued and concluded as l
