LANCASTER, Pa, Jan II, 1881.
The same peculiar galvano- metallic
taste is perceptible throughout the hotel !;
Very like the taste perceived by putting a
half dollar Oh top of a copper cent under
meath the tongue and then touching the
two coins. II the gas company are dis
posed to cheat the public, and the people
tamely submit, they can make car
bonic acid gas for less than thirty cents a
thousand feet and send it with other gases
through the pipes, and there is no more
light in this gas than there would be in
an attempt to burn an icicle. One of two
things is positive either the gas company
are ignorant of their business and have no
competent chemist under their employ, or
else they are intelligent, and determined
through their monopoly to beat the peo-
pie.
Any man who has made the formation
of gases for light-giving purposes study,
knows that the rules for making gas arc
as positive and certain as the
rules which guide an engineer. At present
there is passing through the pipes non
inflammable and non-illuminating gases
that arc not found in the gasometcr of a
well-regulated organization. An examina-
ton of the burner also shows deposits of
carbonaceous substances on the burner.
With all the extra care of Mr.. Hiestanl
to be economical with gas, his bill for De-
eember was $50 more than for De cmber,

STATE ITEMS.

A covetous little girl in Titusville took
a litter of puppies, which she priced
highly, to next-door neighbOr, and
wished to exchange them for newly-ar-
rived baby. She was greatly disappointed
when her offer was politely and firmly de-
clined.
Cyrus D. Robinson and Daniel McCady
were killed and Thomas Ault was mortally
wounded by tree falling upon them in
RobiIson's cut, near Connellsville. The men
were standing under the tree, which had
become undermined by blast of rock
near by, which had taken place some mo-
ments previous, and without warning, the
huge oak came crashing down upon
them.
It is understood upon good authority
that the nomination Of Governor Hart
ranft as collector of the port Of Philadel-
phia, which has been pocketed in the SEN

be reported at an early date for confirma-

The Latter Kills the Former With An A

--..eS
A letter from KeysvilIe, Charlotte coun-
ty, Va, gives the particulars of a crime
committed near that place on Saturday, in
which Wilson Foulkes, a respectable col
ored mau, was the victim. It seems that
Foulkes had for some time been Jealous of
the attentions Of Isaac Goulding, also COL
ored. to his wife, and few days since
whipped her severely on account
thereof, and told her if the man
came on his premises again he
would shoot her. On Saturday morning
Goulding came again, before Foulkes was
up, and his wife fearing he would carry
out his threat of shooting her crushed his
skull with AL axe while he was asleep, and
then threw the body into we'll to conceal
the crime. Signs of blood were found between
the house and we'll, and the woman was
arrested and subsequently confessed that
she had killed her husband. The murder
created much excitement among the ne
groes in the neishborhood, and but for the
counscls of the whites summary Justice
would have been visited upon the woman.
She was committed to Jail for trial

The Philadelphia committee of One
Hundred have finally come down to sensi-
bic work, displacing Stokley as the can
didate for mayor and inviting Demo-
cratic cooperation in naming suitable
ticket which all reform Philadelphians
can unite in supporting. Tony Drexel
and two or three others were the only
only ones to cling to Stokley. Mr..
Childs agrees with Mr.. Drexel, and so
the Ledger looks on Stokley as y reform
er. The reform movement having shaken
off the control of the infantile political
conceptions of these men, whose money
has not made them wise, is likely to be
of some account.

Distinguished Honors to tho Ex President
What Governor Cornell Thinks
of Him.
General Grant arrived in Albany yester-
day afternoon, and had one of the greatest
public receptions ever witnessed in that
city. It is estimated that 10000 people
were in the streets; nearly all the
buildings along the route, from the
depot to the executive mansion,
were decorated with flags, and there
was an imposing military turn out.
The Boys in Blue escorted tho governors
sleigh, in which were seated General Grant
Governor Conell and Adjutant General
Townsend. On reaching the executive man.
sion the procession was drawn up in line,
and the soldiers presented arms as the
visitor entered. The Legislature of
Of New York yesterday adopted resolr-
tion offering General Grant reception at
an early date, and appointing a committee
of arrangements. Last night the general
was serenadcd by the Grant club of AL
bany, and briefly expressed his acknowl-
edgments. Governor Cornell then made
an address, in the course of which he re-
ferred to Grant as Zone who, more than
Washington, was first in war. first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen."

Col. Mcclure advises the Times of his
conviction that in the pending senatorial
fight in the Republican party in Penn
sylvania Senator Cameron will achieve
a substantial victory in the final success
of man whom he will name, and that
the opponents of the party machine will
get at best only the shell, while the other
party will enjoy the oyster though the
oyster may not Ike Oliver. Col. Mcclure
is Il political observer Of sagacity and his
opinion Of the way in which the RepubIi-
can cat will jump in Pennsylvania. ought
to be very nearly right. Yet this
time the logic of the situation seems to
be against his view. He credits the op-
pOnents of the machine with a great
deal more imbecility than is justly their
due. Surely when they have demon
strated their power to prevent the elec-
tion of candidate repulsive to them it is
unsafe to assume that they will ever
consent to such humiliation and eating
of leek. The fifty Republicans
who oppose divers election do. it
because he is the candidate of the
set of men who have Iong assumed
to ''boss'' their party in the state and
whose selfish rule over it they desire to
break. That is their issue and if they
give up their fight without making sub
slantial headway towards achieving
their purpose and acquiring an influence
over the politics of the state to which
they are entitled, they will prove them
selves silly and weak to a degree that it
is impossible to credi: them with in view
of our knowledge Of who they are and
what they have done in the tussle they
have SO far waged with the machine.
They are positively able with
their strength to force the other |
side to concession, if the Democrats keep
their hands off; as they have indicated |
their purpose to do and as it is proper |
they should do. A Democratic candi. |
date has been agreed upon by the repre-
sentatives, and will he firmly supported |
by them. Unless the election of Dem
pcrat is conceded by the one or the other |
of the Republican factions which will |
not be done, they must find a man of |
their pariy who is mutually acceptable
to elect, or let the session go by without
an election. We have no faith in the
ability of the machine to elect its candi-
late with purchased votes. Too many
must bought. and there are not enough
n the market

BRAKEMAN SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Another Columbian Has Both Legs Broksn.
Yesterday afternoon at Villa Nova sta
ton, on the Pennsylvania railroad, Samuel
Morris, brakeman, met with a sad mishap.
A shift of freight cars was being run at
pretty high speed along a siding. Morris
was thrown off by the cOncussiOn, and was
dashed with great force against the pas
senger platform, and had his shoulder dis
located and both legs broken, one Of them
in two places, his injuries being almost
identical with those sustained BY Wit
Daily, firemen, the day preceding. It ID
singular coincidence that two men, both
of them employees Of the Pennsylvania
railroad, both married, and both residing
in Columbia, should suffer injuries 20
nearly alike, and within few 1nrs Of Tie
same time. Mr.. Norris was taken to his
home in Columbia.

The Concert Last Night.

The concert given at the opera house
last night for the benefit of James E.
Strachan was avery creditable affair, and
showed that Lancaster can boast of as
much real "home talent" in the various
roles of variety actors as any other town
in the country. All the performers did
we'll, and were heartily encored by the
audience which was not as large as it
ought to have been. We understand that
tue receipts were barely large enough to
cover the expenses and the beneficiary gets
nothing.
