Will result In their election in November
next. only wish to add this word to you,
the Democratic party has never come before
the people of this State with better
prospects of success than now. The Re-
publican party has made q fatal mistake In
the means of Its nominations and the man
ner In which IL proposes to conduct the cam.
paign. has made mistake in choosing
Its leaders from that element which public
sentiment is ready to spew out of its mouth.
IL Will change hundreds of honest voters,
and the result cannot be less than an over
whelming victory in November. [Applause. ]

ARRESTED IN CHURCH.
The Rev. Mr. Keiser Served with War
rant in Breach of Promise Case.

A dispatch to yesterdays GAZETTE gave
brief detail of the arrest of the Rev. A. s.
Keiser In a church in Womelsdorf, for breach
Of promise. A special dispatch says Ger
man Reformed Church circles in this dis
trict were considerably excited to-day over
the arrest of the Rev. Alexander s. Keiser,
a young married divine, while he was at
tending the services now in session at Wom-
elsdorf, in this county. The prosecutrix is
Miss Elizabeth X. Miller, who alleges breach
of promise of marriage and claims damages
to the amount of $1,000. Sheriff Gerhart
proceeded to the church to serve the war
rant, and his appearance created a stir. The
Rev. Keiser was called cut, and when in :
formed for what he was wanted manifested
much astonishment. Revs. II. 8. Ap-
pei, M. L. Fritch, Daniel Shepp,
Jacob Shoemaker and w. X. Borkey
ntered bail for the appearance of the de-
fendant at court. Miss Miller is single
woman, aged twenty-four years, of respecta-
Bile family. In her allegation she sets
forth that seven years ago she resided in the
family Of the Rev. David Humbert, at
Bowers Station this county that Keiser
visited Rev. Humbert when a theological
student, and that he then paid his addresses
to her and finally solicited her hand in
marriage. She promised to be his wife,
but he especially stipulated that they should
not be married until he was ordained as
minister that she had received over four
hundred love letters from him during
courtship of few years and while he was
away at the seminary that they were
couchcd in terms of the most endearing
affection, and finally she became the mother
of q male child of which he was the father.
She alleges that she anxiously awaited his
ordination that she might become his wife !;
that he contributed to the support of the
child, and suggested that it be named
" Milton Obadiah Keiser;" that he spoke
lovingly of the child that he succeeded in
inducing her to part with her love letters or
the pretext that they might fall into the
hands of strangers that he was ordained
to the ministry in May, 1882, but that in
stead OF marrying her as he had promised
he had married another lady and located iii
Pottsville. Miss Miller further alleges that
when she heard that he was married she
personally went to Pottsville aud called upon
him in the presence OF his wife He neither
denied her charges nor offered any explana
tions. The clergyman bears very good
name and claims that he can show tnat the
charges are groundless.

INSURANCE MEN CONVICTED.
How Dauphln County, Pa, Mutual As.
fessment Company Carried ON Business

How a Dauphin County, Pa, Mutual As
fessment Company Carried ON Business.
HARRISBURG, Sept. 5.-An important in
surance case has been on trial in the Dauphin
County Court the past two days. This
afternoon 1t resulted in the conviction of l..
Hummell, one of the officers of the Mahon-
ing Mutual Assurance Company of Snyder
county, on the charge Of false pretence.
Hummell and w. H. McCaFty were pro
ceeded against by +. M. Morely, Lewis
Fitting and w III. Palmer of this county who
charged them with having obtained money
under false pretences. The Mahoning Com
pany issued circular In June, 1881, giving
the number of members in the class known
as the told peoples class" The prosecutors
in this case visited Selingsgrove to verify
the correctness of the list, and being in
formed by Hummell, the secretary, that
the statement represented the facts they
insured a man in the company. In a short
time, after they had paid about five hundred
dollars, their "subiect' died and they pro-
ceeded to collect the money supposed to be
due them. They were informed that they
owed the company $34. An examination OF
the books showed that there were only half
as many members In the class as repre-
sented in the circular. The defense claimed
that the books only showed the number OF
men who paid assessments and that the dis
crepaney in numbers claimed represented
the number of members who refused to pay
assessments June 1, 1881. The case was
tried by Judge Hicks of York, Judge Nc
Pnerson declining to sit on the bench be-
cause he had been engaged with Insurance
Commissioner Forster in efforts to revoke
the charter of the Mahoning company. A
motion has been made for arrest of judg-
ment, which will be heard next month.
Hummell is under $500 bail.

THE GAME VEST TEEsDAY.
The Defiance aud the OIympIcs in One
Sided Game.


The Defiance Of Philadelphia and Olym-
pics met ON the new grounds yesterday IN
the presence of about 200 people. The
Defiance went to the bat In the first inning
and were allowed to make two runs 1t
WAS purely accidental that the Olylnpies
put the three men out Necessary tn close the
inning. The playing oil the visitors is very
good and the pitching Of Pollard was very
effective as the 0lympics made only three
base hits. The pitching of Heston for the
Olympics was very poor. He was very wild
and the visitors had no difficulty In batting
him they succeeded In making a total of
twelve base hits. Taken all in all the Olym-
pics had better start with the Butcher Boys,
Jr., and practice playing ball with such
Junior clubs and possibly In the course OF
few years they might with hard practice be
able to tackle nine like the Defiance. The
score by innings is as follows
Defiance. 2---zs

singular Disappearance of an Old Mans
Affianced Pet in Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6.-Yesterday
morning an old man and young woman
registered as man and wife at the Central
Hotel, Market street above Eighth, and
clerk Sternberger showed them into the
parlor In few minutes the man, who
gave the name of John VI. Blest, a retired
farmer of Maryland, approached the clerk
and informed him that the lady was not his
wife, but that they were desirous of getting
married, and inquired where a minister
could be found.
The clerk gave the desired information and
Mr.. Blest suggested that 1t wouldn't be a
bad idea to fit out his prospective bride in
new clothing, an opinion in which Stern
berger heartily conceded. The couple then
proceeded to Cooper 81 Conrad's store, Ninth
and Market streets, where the desired
articles Of apparel were purchased. After
they left the place the young woman said
she ought to have a pair of gloves, aud
Blest gave her some money and requested
her to return to the hotel after buying the
articles.
This was the last seen of her. Blest who
| is about 20 years of age, is at loss to ae-
count for the disappearance of the girl, his
only theory being that she became lost. Last
evening he caused telegrams to be sent to the
various police stations, inquiring for her.
The girls name was Mary Williams, abo ut
| Is years of age, and she came from Dala-
/ ware.

Harrington IS Corrupt Plans.
Baltimore Day.


The triumph of the most corrupt and
reckless element in the Republican party of
Delaware In the late State Convention, which
resulted in placing the notorious Dick Har-
rington, of safe-burglafy fame, at the head
OF the State Committee, is beginning to bear
fruit now that the Democrats have put a
popular aud able ticket in the field, repre-
senting the wishes OF the masses of the party
and emphatically free from even the APP
pearance of machine dictation. The Break
10 tter Light, published at Lewes and the
only Republican paper in Sussex county,
from which both the candidates for Gov
ernor come, hoists the name of Stockley
and Lore, the Democratic nominees, at its
masthead, and at the same time declares
that it always has been and is to-day Re-
publican paper that it has clung to that
marty, hoping against hope that 1t would
throw off the grip of the corrupt ring
which has fastened itself upon It,,
but that the ring has prevailed and obtained
IL tighter hold than ever on the party organi-
zation and nominated as its candidate for
governor very reputab BILE, well meaning
gentleman, but one who, ii elected, " will
be no more the governor of Delaware than
the chair he sits in" but simply the instru-
ment of the ring, of which Dick Harrington
is now the acknowledged head. The Light
declares it will take no hand or part in this
thing it will not bow its neck to Baal, and
neither will it allow passive assistance by
assuming an attitude of neutrality. 1t will
fight the party thus managed and presided
over in the only effective way that it can be
fought, which is by supporting the opposing
candidates, and 1t therefore, hoists the
names of Charles G. Stockley and Charles
B, Lore at is masthead as those of two men
fairly nominated by an honest convention.
and well worthy to be the standard bearers
of any party. This is certainly u significant
result of the shameless bargain by which the
more reputable Republicans OF Delaware
bowed their neck to the yoke of Harrington,
Fisher and the stalwart gang of Dover cor
rupiionists.

PROF.. HENRY Is COMLNG.

Mr.. W. A. Henry, Professor of Agriculture
of the State University, will meet the farm
ers of Kenosha county on the evening of Jan,
9 and forenoon and afternoon of the 10th.
The place of meeting will be the most central
that can be secured, and will probably be
announced in this week papers.
His object in coming here is to benefit US.
1t certainly can be of no benefit to him.
Important experiments have been made on
the State farm in ensilage, syrup and sugar
making and making butter. Facts have been
learned which the Professor is ready to
communicate. Two tons of amber cane sugar
have been grown and made on the State
farm, and each person present can have q
sample.
There Is an expense of thousands of dollars
| involved in conducting the experiments on
the State farm, and every farmer should
make the results of them of use to himself
for his own benefit. One way to do this is
to get acquainted with the Professor, learn
| from him what he is doing, and to what
extent he is successful. And our acauaint-
ance may be of use to him. 1t will encourage
him to know he has our good will, and that
we are watching and waiting with interest
the result of his work. / believe there are
a large number of formers in this county
who will feel well repaid for travelling ten
or twelve miles to spend one evening and the
following day with Prof Henry
| As we sweeten orr coffee in the morning q
thought of the important part that sugar has
played in the worlds history probably never
occurred to US. Had France had to buy hel
sugar instead of producing it, besides sur
| plus for export, she would doubtless have
been wiped out in the struggle for existence
| with her desperate enemies. The millions
Of dollars saved TO her by the beet sugar
