A Contractor Locked Up.

John q. Parke, who was one of tho
almshouse contractors for supplies, was
arrested in Philadelphia by Detectives
Peter Miller and Wolfe in front of his late
fathers residence, ON Sixth street, below
Dickerson, Oh a warrant sworn out before
Justice Ladner on September 81, charging
Parke with conspiracy to cheat aud defraud
the city in the matter of supplies by bids
made on or about February II last. The
allegation is that Parke, who was 4 contrac-
tor for several years past, put in fictitious
bids, and like some of the other contract
ors, notably Morris Matthews, who has
turned states evidence, failed to deliver
some of tho goods, but collected his pay
all the same and made 4 "div' with the
almshOuse ring. He was locked up at the
central station for u hearing, Justice Lad
ner being sick. parke refused to have
anything to say to tho reporters. He had
a long talk with Councillor Harkins. law

for Parke for several days, but refrained
from arresting HIM until after the funeral

The Independent Republican meeting
in this city last night was significant as
we'll in regard to its character as to its
size. The organization of the meet
ing was composed of some of Lancas-
ter's best known, intelligent and influen-
tial citizens, who whilst they have always
been identified with the Republican
party and voted consistently for its can
didates have never taken an active part
in shaping its policy or influencing its
administration. Their presence and cor
dial cooperation in the movement
that has arisen in the Republican ranks
to free the party from the arrogant
boss mastery which has so long domi-
mated it indicates what has long been
patent to fair-minded and observant
citizens, but studiously ignored or mis-
represented by the machine servants
that the revolt has its root in the best
thought of the party. The men who
have enlisted themselves in the fight
against bossism are of a class that can
not be bullied or cajoled rom tteir firm
purpose to free themselves from the gall
ing yoke of machine tyranny. The won.
der is that they submitted to the humil-
istion 50 long, A glance at the men !

tanning injuries that will probably
provo fatal. He stopped on his way
to indianapolis, on visit to his sister,
and has been considered SO insane that he
would have been sent to an asylum last
night. The leap was made to escape the
officers and physicians who would have
had him in custody. He is cousin of the

A Story OF Crooked D0lngD I'm Philadelphia
and . lslg Row ON Hand.

A Story OF Crooked Dolngs In Philadelphia
and lsig Row ON Hand.
There Is q big cloud in the baseball sky,
and a hurricane threatens. 1t has been
learned in Providence that an agreement
was made in Philadelphia, at the meeting
of the league representatives last week,
that the championship should not be
settled by the scheduled games remaining
to be played after the date Of
that meeting, but that when the
regular league season was closed, Provi-
dehce and Chicago should play nine
games, the result of which should decide
who should take the pennant. This ar
rangement grew out Of chain of circum-
stances, one link Of which was the sum-
mary disposal of Troy and Worcester, who
were voted out of the league after Decem-
Der next. This action so offended the two
clubs named that they insisted
upon quitting at once without
finishing their series Of games.
which would, under the league rules, take
away enough victories from Chicago to
lose that club the pennant, aud would
make Providence either the winner or a
tie for first position. The Troys and Wor-
cestcrs were persuaded TO remain, how
ever, but to satisfy Providence, because of
the vote to allow tho Buffaios to play their
games III Chicago instead of at homo the
compact before mentioned was drawn up
and signed. Since then Providence has lost
game aud Chicago has won enough to
give them the pennant beyond peradven-
ture, and the result is that Chicago wants
to jump the compact and claims that it is
Illegal and unconstitutional. Providence
objects to the demands of Chicago, and
insists Oh the compact being adhered to.
Chicago was notified that unless a favor
able answer vas received by 2 p m.
Thursday the compact business, which
was to have been kept quiet, would be ex.
posed. No answer being received the ex-
posurc is made.
There is great Indignation in sporting
circles, as many bets have been made on
the championship, and its settlement by
tho games Of this and last week.

Driven From His Hiding Place by Rattle

Driven From His Hiding Place by Rattle
Snakes.
An old mooLshlner named Charles
Folias, for whom the revenue officers have
been searching Cor q long time, was cap.
tured in the northern part of CASTOR
county, N. g., under somewhat
peculiar circumstances. Folias oper-
ated with illicit stills IN small corner
on the side of q creek. In order to pre-
vent the officers from tracking him to his
hiding place he always waded the stream,
and thus avoided making any tracks.
Yesterday gang of officers were i'll the
neighborhood of the illicit still, hunting
other moonshiners supposed to be in that
locality. FOlias became aware of their
presence, and made for his hole in the
ground with all possible speed. Upon en-
terins the mouth Of the cavern the illicit
distiller discovered nest of rattle
snakes. He managed to reach the boiler
and seize dipper OF boiling corn juice,
which he hurled 1T his assailants. He
soon dispatched the snakes, but before he
could make his way to q place Of safety in
continued the attack. Folias saw that if
he remained he would be killed, and he
took the only alternative which seemed
to be left-backed out of his underground
stillhouse and gave himself up to the
government officers outside with the re-
mark. Gentlemen, want it understood
that was forced to surrender on account
Of the internal snakes inside, and you Ge-
servo no credit for it, The officers had
been hunting Folias in vain for years.

The Greenbackcrs who are now making
a canvass of South Carolina in behalf of
their state ticket, which was recently
nominated, held mass-neeting at Lam
caster courthouse, which resulted in

lives, Col. B. &. Cash, who murdered
Col. William L. Shannon in duel in July,
1880, and is now the Republican candi-
date for Congress, with the Endorsement
of the Greenbackers, was present at the
meeting, and made violent and abusive
speech. While he was speaking, Diff
Guilty occurred at the stand between a
white man and negro. Words were
passed, when the white man was struck
fearful blow on the head. Several pistol
shots werc fired, but no ono was injured.
After the speaking had concluded about
100 negroes, mounted on mules and horses
and armed with pistols, rode through the
main streets of Lancaster, led by negro
man named Crockett. AS tho mounted
men were passing street corner Crocket
pulled out his pistol, and, drawing it down
on a white man standing on the Sidewalk.

did the shooting" The white man told
him he lied, when Crockett fred on h i'm.
the ball narrowly missing his head and
passing through tho coat of another
white man standing near by. Three shots
were then fired at Crockett, who
fell from his horse dead. The
firing then became general, and three
rore negroes were killed and six wound
ed. The negroes rode into another street
and halted. Serious fears were enter
tanned that they would renew the attack, !,
and to prevent bloodshed telegram was
sent to Chester for aid to suppress the
riot. A dispatch was received by Gov.
Gagood from state Senator Patterson, Of
Chester, asking him to order the military
company at Chester to proceed to Lancas-
ter to assist the town authorities in que!l-
ing the disturbance. A later dispatch was
received by the governor that there was no
necessity for military interference and
that order had been restored. So far as

some minutes. Mr.. Wolfe then recited
the particulars Of Beavers election as a

that he was pledged to vote for Blaine,

his speech with q reference to the

Hon. John Stewards Speech.
Hon. John Stewart, candidate for gov

with applause. He said he was here to
advocate a political experiment, namely
that the people of Pennsylvania shall
govern themselves, shall exercise their
own inalienable rights and control their
own affairs and manage tho political Or
ganizations of which they are members.
For years past tho state has been
controlled by the political bosses,
who have controlled the state in their own
interests, and have secured SO firm grasp
of power that they believe they cannot be
shaken off. Mr.. Stewart said he believed
there was patriotism enough left in the
Republican party to dcpose the bosses and
reform the abuses complained of. He
spoke as Republican, and he assumed
he was speaking to Republicans /;
and he avowed that there had
not been Republican convention held in
this state during tho past decade that rep
resented the will Or was controlled OK di-
