old Hickory" Wagons.

a.
The 'Old Hickory" is manufactured at
Louisville, Kentucky, by the Kentucky Wagon
Manufacturing Company.
The quality OF the "Old Hickory" is main
tanned at any cost. g.
The "0ld Hickory is built for strength,
durability, lightness, and is of graceful ap-
pearanee.
The "0ld Hickory" rs as perfect as it is
possible for n wagon to be built.
The superiority of the sod Hickory" over
other wagons is due
First-To the adoption OF that form or mod
el that comprises the largest amount of strength
with the least superfuous weight.
Second-To the adoption OF that shape,
size, and adjustment of skeins, wheels and
gear, and that arrangement of tongue, evener
and singletrees that gives the least friction
and easiest draft
Third-To the great advantages the manu-
facturers of the "0ld Hickory have over
other wagon makers in location, situated as
they are in the centre of the finest timber re-
gion in the world. The company makes Sc
Elections from the white oak and black hickory
OF Kentucky, which are justly celebrated.
Fourth-To the great advantage of having
plenty of the best timber to work on, only
thoroughly air-seasoned timber being used. -
No irresponsible convict or penitentia labor
is employed, but intelligent, skilled mechanics
in every department. The ''Old Hickoryn Is
made only OF one quality and that strictly A

An invented Judi Cial Muddle.

l1mc5.
1t is evident that copies of the new con-
stitution are scarce in Lebanon county, or
the few who have read the new fund
amental law seem to have forgotten it.
On no other assumption could the inven.
ton of a judicial muddle, because of tho
resignation of Judge Henderson, be ex-
planned. The Lebanon Times gravely
discusses the question as one likely to
cause infinite embarrassment in the issuing
Of writs and the administration of justice,
as both Judges Simonton and Mcpherson
are associate law judges.
The constitution provides for the con-
tingency not only in ono section, but in
several sections, and any average layman
could understand at a glance, that if the
president judgeship happened to be vacated
a dozen times year, or even dozen times
4 month, "the judge of such court learned
in the law and Oldest in commission shall
be president judge thereof" This pro-
vision expressly applies to "auy president
jndge of any court of common pleas" and
it is indefinite as to time in it's operation.
When Judge Pearson retired Judge
Henderson, did not merely become presi-
dent judge by virtue of his Office, but he
was commissioned president judge and
in like manner Associate Law Judge SIM
outon, being the Oldest judge in commits
sion learned in the law. will be, or has
been, commissioned as president judge.
II he should die or resign, Judge McPher-
son would succeed him by commission as
president judge, and so on indefinitely.
There has not been, and can't be even for
day, two associate law judges in the
Dauphin and Lebanon district.

DARING BURGLARY
4 Safe tracked Last Night in Private
Residence.


Last night daring burglary was per-
petrated at the residence of Jacob G. Peters,
No. 341 West Orange street. Burglars
effected an entrance into the house by
boring holes in a back parlor shutter until
they had opening sufficiently large to
admit a mans hand. They then slipped
opened tho window by prying under the
lower sash with chisel, breaking open
the catch on the top of it. On the eastern
side Of the room entered was small Far
rcll & Herring safe, and to it the thieves
at once went. They pried open the front
door and III SO doing broke it up very
badly. In the safe were Il number OF
books, papers and other things, but no
money except about So which belonged to
the children. This the thieves carried Oft
together with a gold pencil, pen and ring.
No papers are missing and the books We're
not injured.
The burglars scattered tine furniture,
books, &c, which were in the room,
around the floor. They loft behind them,
lying on 4 table, several pine blocks, one
Of which was used for I. candle stick, :.
bottle Of sweet oil and 4 common table
knife.
Mr.. Peters and his family We're in the
house when the burglary occurred, but
have no idea what time it was. Mr..
Peters slep: in room directly over
the parlor in which the safe was).
He retired about II o'clock but was very
tired as he had been staying up for several
nights with his father, who died yesterday
afternoon at Millersvi!le. and he heard 10
noise. There is no clue to the burglaIs
but it is said that three strange looking
young men have been seen around Mr..
Peters's; house at different times lately by
the neighbors, and they have been in the
habit of looking in the windows. Who.
ever the thieves were they secured very
little yesterday. They 10 doubt thought
that. as it was near pay day at Peters &
Shirk's factory ithat being on the 18th Of
each montb), Mr.. Peters would likely
have money. In this they were mistaken
as the firm do not keep tho money in their
houses or 1T the mill

EVENING, FEB. IA, 1882.
A Plain Issue.

The review of Mayor MacGonigle's
administration of municipal matters,
which we print on our first page to-day,
and the sharp contrasts which it pre-
sents with that of his predecessor, who
is now his compe titor, leaves no room
for dispute as to which of these men and
methods ought to be entrusted with the
executive direction Of the city. Were
either of them an untried man his
friends and supporters might in negative
way claim some virtues for him, which
pretension could neither he gain said nor
proved. But they have had equal oppor-
tunity to exhibit whatever talent AID
capacity they have for the discharge Of
the duties of this Office OF mayor and
their records are before the people for
their examination and decision. Upon
a comparison of these Mayor MacGoni-
gle can afford to submit the case
to lis fellow citizens. He has dis
played his eminent fitness for this
place, as conspicuously as ex-Mayor
Stauffer has displayed his eminent unfit
ness. The two mayors were exactly Op-
posite in their views, their methods and
in the tendencies OF their administra-
tions. Mayor MacGonigle from the out
set has checked the looseness, the cX-
travagance, the recklessness and the
illegal modes of procedure which pre-
vailed under Stautfer, and to which in
the main was due an increase in the
city'S deb; under him of two hundred
Thousand dOllars-a mortgage Oh every
foot of real estate, All increase upon the
burden Of every renter in the city. TO
check these practices and to pay of a
floating debt of S3U,0Oo left by the
Stauffcr administration, taxed all the en-
erges of Mayor MacGonigle's earlier al
ministIalion. Despite these, however,
and the recklessness OF Il later wasteful
street committee, the present admins,
tration has reduced the permanent debt
over Sl5,OOO, the first reduction since
1868, cut down the rate OF interest Oh the
whole, besides making many permanent
improvements which show for the money
spent. People who want more city debt,
higher taxes and higher rents, will vote
for Stauffer. Those who believe in hon
est economical and efficient city govern
ment will vote for MacGOnigl" That
is the issue

tured to him to do his housework. On
Friday letter came to the girl from her
brother who is in Illinois and is doing we'll.
The letter contained $50, with which she
pay her passage, as he wished her to come
and live with MIN. Wall opened the
letter and read part Of it to the girl, but
said nothing about the money. He then
went into an adjoining room and read the
letter to his wife. The girl overheard the
talk and Immediately demanded tho
money. Wall tooka horsewhip stripped
her of her clothing and whipped her until
the blood flowed all over her back and she
tainted. Then he went down in the GEL
lar, got strong brine from the pork barrel,
and poured it over her. He was arrested
on Saturday and public feeling is strongly
in favor of lynching him. Tho girl is in
precarious condition.

Cu-lessness or Incend!arisiu.

This morning about three O'Clock smoke
was seen to issue from the hallway Of
Theo. w. Herr's brick building, northeast
corner East King and Duke streets An
alarm was made and an investigation had,
when it was discovered that large pile Of
rags behind the front door and Immediate
ly in the stairway were in flames The
rags were thrown into the street and tie
fire cxtinguished. 1t is said the rags
belong 20 George Welsh rag dealer, who
was arrested on the street q few days ago.
He placed the rags where they were found,
and, being committed to prison. had no
opportunity to remove them. 1t is not
known whether they were Intentionally or
accidentally set OIL fire. The front door
is nearly always open. There is printing
office on the second story front, aud 4
club room occupied by young men in the
rear, while one or two families occupy
rooms on the third story, and the stairway
which came 50 near being burned is the
only means Of exit. 1t is thought that
some one on going up cr down stairs
may have thoughtlessly thrown cigar
stump into the corner, not knowing that
the rags were there. The timely discovery
of the fire probably saved the destruction
of valuable property and perhaps life.
A Scare but no Damage.
This morning there was scare at the
American tea store in Centre square,
which is managed by Samuel Clark. For
several days a smell of gas had been no.
ticed in front Of the store and it was be-
licved come from 4 leak in the pipe sup
plying the light hanging in front of the
store. This morning the boy who works
in the store nut 4 light to the pipe and the
gas at the leak took fire In short time
there was very large blaze and the fire
soon melted off the large tin lantern
which fell with crash, almost hitting
MIR. Clark on the head. The fire was not
until the gas had been
turned off.

Injured by tho Upsettine OF an Engine.

Yesterday heavy portable engine be-
longing to Philip Lebzelter, which had
been down near the river, was to have
been brought to this city. When it
reached the bridge at Graeff's landing the
wagon on which it was broke down. This
morning workman Went down to tho
bridge to move the engine, aud i'll trying
to raise it 50 that wheel could be put on,
the machine was upset against a wing
wall of the bridge. Daniel Easton OF
Mt. Joy, was standing between the bridge
and the wall at the time, and VIM. Youart,
seeing his danger, cried out to him. He
attempted to get away, but the engine
caught his right arm, which was broken
in two places besides being very badly
cut. The injured man was taken to the
Office Of DR.. NJ. L. Herr, where he was
attended, and afterwards left for his home.
