opened in the, gents furnishing line on
a modest scale, and within the brief
period of their establishment here have
advanced their trade until it Las gained
place alongside the old reliable firms
that have been doing business fora genera

enterprise call for renewed notice. Young
blood and keen sense of the public wants
in the matter of trade account for the ac-
evidence of material prosperity
which has marked the career of the firm.
Located in q portion Of the C0yle building,
opposite the courthouse, on East King
street, they have long felt the need of en-
larged accommodations, and this spring
they secured possession of the entire
building. They now occupy more rooms
than any other business house in the city.
In the cellar under the main store room they
keep a very large stock of trunks, valises
and gents rubber goods; the first floor
is devoted exclusively to hats and gents
furnishing goods, conveniently arranged
on either side of tho room for the ready
accommodation Of customers. Between
two Of the buildings which they occupy is
a long hallway, flied with packed straw

A FALSE ALARM.


Excitement ON East Alna street.
Last evening about 10 e'clock there was
great excitement ON East King street near
the court house. AT that hour was
heard loud report and crash Of glass.
Inquiry was at once set on foot to ascer
tain the cause. A cellar window in Fab
nestock's dry goods house was found to
be broken out :; plate glass window of
Sprecher's seed store was seen to be
broken. and other glass in the vicinity
was noticed to be shattered. A rumOr
was at once started that there were
burglars about and that safe had been
blown opOn. A great crowd soon assem-
bled. Messengers were dispatched to call
Messrs. Fahnestock, Sprecher and others.
and they were soon on hand. A search Of
the premises was made and everything
was found to be all right, except that tho
sash of q cellar window In Fahnestock's
store had broken loose from its rusty
hinges and fallen to the cellar, shattering
the glass and making the report which
had caused the alarm. The breaks in
Sprecher's windows and others were old
ones.

4 Plo0 for The AIbutus.
Lancaster Inquirer.

This charming little Wild flower is fast
in consequence Of rough
handling received from those who gather
it. Persons generally 20 in companies
and in their excitement tear it up regard
less of their disturbance of it's roots, crowd
it in baskets, to find on distributing it Oh
their return, that about half has to be cast
aside, and tho delicate flowers have been
blackened by contact with the rough, firm
leaves. There is better way. In every
locality where the little beauty grows
there will be found quantities Of moss.
Take with you pair Of scissors and trays
instead of baskets. Put q layer OF moss
on each tray. Cut the perfect flower stem
without mOlesting the roots and insert
them at once in the moss.
The plant will grow and spread all the
moro for the trimming. Gathered in this
manner it will carry any distance without
injury and keeping the moss damp is all
it requires to brighten your home for
days.

Reform and Reform.

The Reformer's lot is not happy one.
At least not the lot of the Re-former
within the lines of the Republican party
in this county. For many years he was
consistent, if not successful, in boldly
protesting against machine methods and
ring nominations; and if he hardly
ever'' won within the party lines, he at
least chastised the bosses and taught
them lesson occasionally by sallying
out, joining with the Democrats and
accomplishing some real reform. He was
always gladly welcomed back to the
party household, and generally feasted
with fatted calf. Four years ago he con-
ceived the notion Of abandoning principle
and taking to policy. He has been
fighting the devil with fire." He has
only got his fingers badly burned for his
pa Zig. He elected and reelected Sena-
tor Warfel and the corporation and Cam
eron influences at Harrisburg always
knew where to lay their hands on him
when he was needed" No class of
legislators are more Serviceable to them
than those who wear the livery of re-
form and are always to be had if need
ed" The Re-former invented Senator
Mylin and he has been "returned to
plague the inventor" The Re-former
has had serious trouble preventing Rep.
resentative Landis's vaulting ambition
from overlapping itself and tumbling
him into the ENHANCEMENT of the Loeb
iel web. The Re-former discovered Roe
buck and it wasn't long until he found
that he had caught another Tartar.
He saw the Cameron ring disrupted ;"
when, with desperate exercise of the most
corrupt appliances, he elected McMellen,
Edgerly, Croft, Coble s. Co. But the
illegal fee business kept on flourishing,
the county funds were only handed over
to the other firm of cattle drovers, and
the administration Of the county COM
missioners closed with.a perfect carni-
val 3" of rapacious raids on the county
treasury, for which there has never been
any shadow of defense made, except
the recommendation of the two judges
appended to the exorbitant and illegal
bills-that the grsbbers should be 6 very
literally compensated" and tie extra
judicial suggestion of Judge Livingston
to Ike Bushong that he "could make
no mistake" in paying Urban's bill,
for which the county was no more liable
than for Judge Livingston's butcher bill.
For these rascalities the Reform organ
has only made the feeble apology of a
baseless allegation that there was I"
judicial decision " to sustain them
Which it has never yet produced or, if
it has indulged in still feebler denuncia-
tion of some Of them, 1t was only after
it had quarreled with the perpetrators ON
issues which involved no upright princi-
pie. --.,- = ~--'.

thieves the Re-former has linked himself

to another. After having vainly helped
Sensenig and Eshleman to earn the
money they had invested in Eberly's
nomination., the Reaormer last year
csme up smiling and presented himself
before the public with headqusfters in
sthe oastleon the alley" and supported on
one side by Sensenig and on the other
by Picayune johnson, he helped to
elect part of their ticket, abandoning the
contest for Sensenig's speculative candi-
nate for prothonotary only when he
found that it would develop greater
frauds practised by the Re-former than
against him. Reviewing the admins
trations of those whom he did elect,
he finds the eye of the illegal fee
taker undimmed and his natural force
undated. He sees that in the Reform
sheriff's Office the little finger of the old
ring is heavier than the loins of the Re-
former and that in the Office Of the
clerks of the courts there is likewise no
change of men or methods from the days
when the Re-former had not captured
them. And now that another primary
is upon US we find the Re-former in the
same old company, and inviting the
public to feast of the warmed up dishes
that were spread by the Ringsters"
three years ago. For recorder and So
licitor the candidates of the Neu Era
faction, are now exactly those whom
the Examiner supported in 1879, the
New Era then opposing them for the
same reason that it now supports them
they are the candidates of Levi Sensenig
with whom the Re-former is y0ked up in
the hunt for "loot and booty"
There is one way that the much needed
reform in Lancaster county politics can
be effected. It is not the Re-fOrmer's
way. Last falls experience showed that
there were 1900 Independent voters
here. There are many more. That
number were brought out without any
organization to speak of and against the
Re-former and his organ-whO supported
the Cameron state ticket, regarding ga
Democrat - as even a greater evil ,
than Cameron. If these l, ,500-and the
5000 to whom they can soon be swelled
will make a declaration for an indie
pendent, real reform movement in thi:
county, to purify the administration o.
of its public affairs, to suppress illega
fee taking, to disregard even the rec
Ommendation of the court for livery lib
eral compensation :" to jobbers and job
berry, and to condemn its easy tolerance
of ''the prostitution of justice" in behal
of the best workers and if they will
show disposition to prove this faith b!
making up ticket of unexceptionabl'
men for public office, regardless of party
not one Of whom is an office-hunter and
not one of whom will spend dollar tc
elect himself or incur any other obligation
to rob the public-then there are herr
900 Democratic votes, an efficient
organization, and a daily newspaper
which has never shielded nor hesitatet
to denounce fraud, local. state or ma
tional, committed by its party or any
other, which will very speedily be addet
to and which will very effectively rende
successful any honest, non partisan
movement for reform in Lancaster
county, where it is so sorely needed.

THAT was . sort of fou1-to-two political
conference down st Christiana, which the
Neu Era tells about, where Sam Slokom,
with Calvin Carter and two of the Nc

THERE is still hope for Major Griest's
pension. A battle-scarred veteran up in
Vermont has just received 81 800 under
the arrears of pensions act " for injuries
received by falling off an army wagon
when he was so grossly intoxicated as to
be unable to keep his seat" It seems to
US that this was a less deserving case

country as sutler, fell from cracker

THE wonderful recuperative powers of

system of small farms, whose tillers find

SOME Of the young folks may be inter-

may be carried. In Kelkheim, on a ten
pound wager, young German undertook
to kiss his sweetheart ten thousand times

mitted to partake of some slight refresh
ments at intervals of half an hour during
the performance. At tho expiration OF
the first hour their account stood credited

were stricken with cramp and the maiden
tainted away. Later on in the evening
she was compelled to take to her bed with
sharp attack of neuralgia. An even
more distressing result ensued from this
surfeit of tender endearment, for it led to
the breaking off, by mutual consent, of a
hopeful matrimonial engagement.
