OBITUARY.

Jacob NJ. Marks, senior member of the
firm of Lane s. Co., dealers in dry goods,
East King street, this city, died about 5
o'clock this morning at his residence No.
332 North Duke street, aged about 81
years. On the night of the 18th of jan
uary last, Mr.. Marks slipped on the ice
and fell, fracturing his leg near the ankle.
His wound was successfully treated and
he became able to move about the house
on crutches but his confinement set
heavily upon him; he wanted to be out
in the open air. About a month ago he
was attacked with pneumonia, but was
relieved and had neatly recovered from
its effects, when, on Sunday the 10th inst,
he was prostrated by second attack,
which terminated il his death rs above
| stated.
Mr.. Marks was born in Upper Leacock
township, this county, where he received
his education. In early life he entered
the store of the late VIM. Carpenter at
Earlville as saleman. Quitting it he came
to Lancaster and learned the printing bus
mess, which he followed for some years in
this city, Harrisburg, Havra de- Grace
and Baltimor'. About 1914 he returned
to Lancaster and entered the mercantile
house of Hostetter s, Beates, and two or
three years later took a position in the
store of John N. Lane, one of the most
prominent merchants of his day. He re-
mained as a salesman in Lanes store for
a period of about eighteen years. In 1864
the store passed into the hands of a
new firm consisting of William B.
Fordney, Jacob NJ. Marks, John
B. Roth and C. F. Gibbs, and from that
time on Mr.. Marks remained in the firm,
which st tho time of his death consisted of
Mr.. Marks, J. B. Roth and John A.
Charles, trading under the name of Lane
s. Co.
Mr.. Marks was married to Miss Herr.
His wife and three daughters survive him,
one Of tho latter being the wife of Joe. L.
Fritchey, now in business in the far
West.
MIR. Marks was man of fine presence,
possessed much more than the average
degree of intelligence, had wonderfully
retentive memory, was q fine talker and
delighted in detailing to congenial friends |
anecdotes, adventures and "reminiscences |
of the long ago. He was an excellent |
business man, scrupulously exact in
all transactions and had q pleasing
address that won him many friends
He was correct in his habits, liberal
with his friends, and indulgent to his
family to whom he leaves handsome CON-
petence. He was member of St. James
Episcopal church, Of lodge 43, F. and A.
N. and of Lancaster lodge 81 I. y. o. F.
The time of his funeral has not yet been
fixed, and will depend somewhat on Mr..
Fritchey's ability to reach home. It will
probably be on Thursday. Notice of the
date will be given hereafter.

Where He Was-NOt.

Of course the INTELL1GENcER will an
swer the Lnquirer's question where Mont.
somery was when certain bills were passed
a: the final meeting of the last board of
commissioners. The Inquirer says that
the editor of the INTELLIaENcER knows
where Montgomery was. As our Demo-
cratic contemporary is for the truth, and
the whole Of it, We trust it will satisfy the
curiosity Of the Inquirer. Moses was in
the dark when his tallow dip went out, but
where was Montgomery when the gas in
the commissions, Office was lighted?
The INTELLIGENCER neither knows
nor cares where Commissioner Mont
gomery was when certain bills were
passed by his colleagues, after he had
understood that they had adjourned sine
die and closed the business Of their term.
The INTELLIGENCER neither is nor ever
claimed to he his keeper. lie may have
been at prayer meeting or taking a
journey. He is of full age and is quite
able to speak for himself, and will no
doubt do so to the full satisfaction Of the
Inquirer and Examiner and of the audi
tors when they gave him a hearing. He
has assured US that the bills, which we
have charged were gross frauds upon the
county, were approved by his colleagues
in his absence, without his knowledge
and after he had understood the business
Of the term had been closed. However
that may be, we feel quite certain that
he was not waiting for the " wages Of
iniquity' y to be paid for his vote nor
standing on the street corners striking
politicians for money. And since the
Examiner and Inquirer seem to think it
is their turn to ask questions we, beg
leave to remind the Examiner that its
editor has not yet answered why for
twenty years he failed to vindicate him
self from the charge that as state SEN
ator he was paid $1,000 for his partner
ship in a corrupt combination - and
the editor Of the Inquirer has not yet
told why he now considers Levi Sensenig
SO "repulsive when only a few years
ago he gave his note for s. 900 to he paid
to Sensenig If lie waanominated for Con.
gress.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
a Girl instantly Killed At Christian

A Girl instantly Killed At Christians.
Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock,
Jennie Devine, between two and three
years of age, daughter of Amos Deyine,
residing in Christiana, met with fatal
accident. Mr.. Dcvine Is employed at the
foundry of the Cbristiana machine compa-
ny, and his house is near the works. The
little girl was playing around large flask,
made Of wood, which is used in the found
ry, and which was standing against the
building. By some accident she threw
tho flask over upon herself. It knocked
hcr down, and striking her Oh the neck,
broke it. When found she was dead and
the flask was lying upon her. Deputy Cor

not necessary to call the attention Of any
citizen of this county to his fitness, nor Of
any Republican to his merit. He served
his country during the war and carries a
bullet in crippled arm as a memorial of
that service in every state and national
campaign his eloquent voice has been
heard aud his services have been in demand
in behalf Of the Republican party; as an ora

and he has frequently received marks Of

sent the name Of Lancaster county's can

we'll known to the Republican voters of
the county as Mr.. Brosius. He has been
several times chairman OF the county COM

office holder or office hunter. and he has
never served the public nor his party ex

committed in default of bail for hearing.

Mftchell's Protest. .

MltCneltS frOteSC.
Senator Mitchell, after long waiting,
steps forward to assume the leadership OF
the Independent Republicans OF the
state. He has striven, he declares, to
secure by his individual and senatorial
influence, equal 7pprtions to both the
Stalwart and Independent Republicans
of the state, and has failed. He considers
that the time has come for bolder and
more aggressive action on his part, and
he makes public declaration to his asso-
ciate, Senator Cameron, that the loaves
and fishes can not continue to fall alto
gether to one faction Of the party with
out fight. He takes his stand upon the
civil service Nea: the logic of which will
forbid the supplanting Of a good Repub~
lican official By a StalWart Republican
with nothing but his devotion to
Cameron to recommend the, change.
That is certainly very mild position
for Senator Mitchell to take. Obviously,
senator not chosen for his fidelity to
Cameron, cannot consent to make such
fidelity the test of fitness for Office. But
it has been quite obvious that this is the
test to which Pennsylvania ofiice-holders
are subjected by Senator Cameron, and
that the president is in sympathy with
him. Senator Mitchell has found him
self without power, in his senatorial
place, to disturb this administration of
the machine. He has been OF no account
whatever. 1t is position, Of course,
which he cannot consent to occupy, if he
has any virtue or strength. There
can be no doubt that his pres
ent movement has been forced upon
him and has been reluctantly as
sumed. That does not indicate that
it will be weakly pursued. The deliber-
alton with which it has been undertaken
ought to be a guarantee of persistency
and force in the execution of his declared
purpose. .-.-,.
Apparently the parties cannot harmo-
niZe. Senator Cameron has no use for
harmony that will not strengthen him
personally. Senator Mitchell and his
friends have no use for harmony that
will SO strengthen Senator Cameron.
The contest between the factions has for
its essence the Cameronian supremacy.
As one side will not surrender that and
the other will not concede it, it would
seem that it must be fought out unless
one side or the other can be cheated into
1 harmony tEat will be its undoiDg,
which is not very likely the Independ-
ents have been cheated 50 often that
they are suspicious and wary and the
Stalwarts are too skilful with the cards.
General Beaver is presented by the
Stalwarts for governor, and the indie.
dependents are willing to take him ap.
parently with pledges. But the pledges
are likely to be such that it will be in
convenient for him to accept with the
intention Of keeping them /; for they
will pledge him to shake off the Stall
wart grasp upon the Republican throat
in the state as we have suggested, the
Cameron people have no use for such a
governor as that. It is apparently clear
that Beaver, if he is honest, cannot be
the accepted candidate of both factions !;
if he is not, he may be but then some
body will be the worse for it.

complain that the meat furnished them is
unfit for use. The grand inquest desires
to say plainly and cmphaticalIy that they
saw meat which was delivered on April
81 and 22, for the use of the sick and in
sane, that they pronounce nothing better
than the refuse of the butcher shops, and
totally unfit for food.
The meat furnished for Mr.. Spurrier's q
table on April 22d was also unfit to give
to such a competent employee for use in
his family, being little better than that
furnished for the inmates under his care.
We also find that on several occasions tho
butcher furnishing the meats has presented
a bill for more meats than said meats
weighed when delivered at the hospital
and weighed by MIR. Spurrier.
Wo think the policy of seeing how
cheaply people who are sick and insane
can be kept alive is not true economy, and
the poor directors of this county deserve
the censure Of this court for the miserable
misplaced economy and negligent manner
they have displayed in furnishing supplies
and help, in some instar ces not furnishing
some supplies that were absolutely neces-
sary for the sick. These poor people can
not possibly have care of themselves, and
it is a disgrace to Lancaster county that
such things as these can occur.
The reason we recommend a resident
physician is because under the present
system only the bodily maladies of the pa
tient can be attended to, while if the ply
sician resided in the house cases OF insani-
ty could be studied and properly treated,
and in some, if not in many cases be cured.
