LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A Brilliant Affair ut Lochor's Hail Inst
Evening".
EASTER FESTIVITIES.

A Brilliant Affair ut Locher's Hall Last
Evening.
The Annual Easter SOiree i'll the large
hall of the Locher building in. Centre
Square, last evening, surpassed in bril-
liancy the previous events of like charac-
ter that during the past few years have
engaged the attention of the younger ele-
ment of tho city's social circles, and was
among the most pleasing and successful
affairs of tho season that seems to have
taken on new life with the advent of the
Easter holidays. The attendance was not
far short of one hundred, and included a
number of ladies and gentlemen from
Philadelphia. Harrisburg, Columbia, Ma
rietta and other points within the radius
of the city, while Lancaster's own youth,
beauty and gallantry were represented in
goodly number. The event was notable in
tho richness and elegance of the ladies'
dressing, the array of female lOveliness
assembled and the completeness of the
arrangements provided for the comfort
and enjoyment of the company. The ar
rivals at the hall began at about 9:45, and
by 9:3O, the hour at which the promenade
took place, the scene upon the floor of the
brilliantly illuminated apartments was
one of radiant beauty aud spirit. The
ladies were in full party costume. to which
even passing allusion is forbidden by rea-
son OF the inadequacy of space at COM
mand. Many wore costly jewels, silks
satins, flowers the choicest productions
of the hothouse, whilst the masculine ele-
ment was as attractive as conventional
dress could make it. Tho music was by
Taylor's full orchestra, and the swiftly
fleeting hours were whiled away in the
dreamy mazes of the waltz, the inspiriting
strains of quadrilles, polkas, marches and
the varied phases Of Terpsichorean lore,
and at midnight refreshments were par
taken, furnished by Harry Myers and
served by Lebar. The festivities were
maintained until half-past two this morn
ing, and the occasion throughout was
merry as the proverbial marriage bell.
The gentlemen in charge of the affair were
Messrs. John A. Coyle, John F. Reist,
J. Frank Barr, John F. Heinitsh, II. NJ.
Reilly and Herbert Johnston.

While Carrie Roemer. young girl, en-
ployed as domestic in the house Of Alfred
J. Wallace. No. 913 North Sixth street,
Philadelphia, was raking the fire in the
kitchen, her apron was caught by the
fame. Crying for help, she rushed into
the back yard. In an instant her garments
were ablaze, and before the fire could be
extinguished by the neighbors, who came
to her assistance, for she was alone in the
house at the time, her clothes had been
almost burned away and her flesh was in
many places charred to a crisp. Medical
aid was at once summoned, but little could
be done for her. Until four o'clock yes
terday afternoon she fingered in terrible
agony, but retaining perfect consciousness
to tho last. The unfortunate girl was only
eighteen years of age. Her parents re-
side on Marshall street, above Poplar.

A Woman Gored by q Vicious Cow.


Yesterday morning Mrs Minnie Frow-
mann, aged GO years, residing at No. 6s7
Indiana avenue, Philadelphia, while cross
ing lot near Germantown avenue and
Indiana avenue, in company with her
daughter Minnie, was attacked by COW
in charge of young man, and badly in
jured about the stomach. The wound
extended across tho abdomen. She was
assisted to the residence of Mrs. Cliff, No.
2S48 Warnock street, and the services of
a physicians were obtained, who sewed up
the wound. She was then taken to her
residence on stretcher, but continuing
to suffer very much from the injuries, she
was finally removed to the Episcopal hos
pital. They are of character to render
her recovery doubtful. As soon as the
young man having the COW in charge no.
ticed the serious condition of Mrs. Frow-
mann, he drove the animal hurriedly from
the ground and was lost sight of. The
animal was represented to be of vicious
tendency and was driven without anything
to secure it.

A letter was read from Wendell Phil
lips.
After the reading of this letter General
Rosecrans, of California, ascended the
platform and was loudly cheered. He
made brief but vigorous address, and
was followed by Hon. w. E. Robinson, of
New York, who spoke at considerable
length in vituperation of American apathy
over Irish suffering. In conclusion he
said "After we have got our citizens out
of prison and released Parnell and his as
sociates, there is only one step further to
60 !; up with the green flag and down with
the red flag" His remarks were greeted
with loud cheers.

CAMERUN'S APPOINTMENTS.
Stalwart Tactics In w WesJorn Pennsylvania
The Effort to Defeat 13ayne.

Stalwart Tactics In w WesJorn Pennsylvania
The Effort to Defeat Bayne.
A repetition of Stalwart tactics, as H.
Illustrated in the Pittsburgh postoffice mat
ter, is imminent in the case of the marshall
ship of the Western district of Pennsylva-
MIA. There was to be shaking up, and
Mr.. Hall, Garfield appointee, was in tie
line of promotion to private citizenship,
while Mr.. Rutan, Stalwart, has been
out of Office several months and is anxious
to get back again. So it was quietly ar.
ranged by Don Cameron and Russell
Errett that they would play the postoffice
surprise over again. Hall should resign and
Rutan be appointed in one and the same
breath. While the change will soon take
place the scheme leaked out before con-
summation. Tho presence Of Mr.. Quay
led to considerable speculation last night.
1t was by the refusal of Shallenberger and
Miller to lend hand in the matter that it
has become public. The two latter were
pressed by Quay to attend a conference at
Cameron's house, but when the object was
made known they begged of.
The fact is Messrs. Miller and Shallen-
berger will have all. they can attend to
this fall without becoming too closely
linked with Mr.. Cameron's unpopular ma
nipulations of Federal patronage in West
ern Pennsylvania. Mitchell also refused
to indorse Rutan. Both Quay and Rutan
admit that the Jackson-Sullivan move il a
very unpopular one. They say that Bayne
can never be beaten by such tactics,
but is rather strengthened at home
by them. Quay regards Bayne's re-
election as now certain. Cameron's and
Errett will press Rutan for Halls place.
In short, it is said that Rutan's name will
20 in on Friday. Another nomination is
likely to 60 in about the same timo-tbat
of Harrison Allen, of Warren, in place of
B. B. Strang. The latter has been pros
pecting around Dakota and has made up
his mind that he doesn't want to live
there, and new Pennsylvania man will
be sent out to relieve him. Colonel Bayne
has telegraphed Senator Mitchell to hold
back the confirmation of Jackson and the
junior senator is holding back with all his
might. He says the people must have a
chance to be heard before these appoint
ments are rushed through. The talk is
now that tho removal Of Scull and ap-
pointmenr of Pomeroy as revenue col.
!ector is to be given up. The reason al
legged is that Pomeroy's game is not worth
the Scull candle. There is much gossip
afloat about the Pennsylvania affairs and
decided impression prevails that the Cam
eron clan arc overdoing it and will jeopar.
die the state in the coming election.

No sheriff should be held responsible
for the escape of prisoners from such a
rickety concern as the Lebanon Jail.
The wonder is that any prisoner can be
kept within the walls. Its conveniences
are little better than those of we'll
ordered hog-pen and for purposes Of con-
finement it is little more secure than a
ten acre lot with q worn-out worm fence
around it.

History Repeats Itself

The last state Of this man Samson is
worse than the first. Now the multi
piled warrants are lost s and the mani
fold complaints are missing! Mysterious,
is it not, how these papers disappear
when a legal investigation begins The
situation strikingly recalls that in which
Mayor stauffer was placed some seven
years ago. He sued the INTELLIaENCER
for libel because itsaid he had "continu-
ally during his term Of Office charged ex-
orbitant and illegal fees. and has drawn
from the county treasury hundreds of
dollars to which he had not q shadow of
right" He bad been multiplying cases
exactly after the Samson style. In the
case of Wentzel Selak of York assaulted
by number of persons in this
city, he had by multiplication
of cases run the costs up to
$224.26 /; though in . judicial investiga-
tion he admitted that there was only one
original complaint in the case, upon
which warrants had been issued, and
that six complaints were made up by
him on the day of the hearing and long
after the defendants were arrested and
although different subpenas were
charged for, they were never produced.
This was specimen of his way of doing
business, of which the present alder
manic practices are only a repetition.
When the editors of the INTELLIGEN-
GER demanded hearing and offered to
prove the truth Of their charges and to
expose the corrupt practices which then
prevailed in the mayors Office and have
since ruled with many of the aldermen,
they were denied a chance to finish
their testimony, and Stauffer had
the case finally discontinued without
our knowledge or consent. But in his
own cross examination at the alder
mans he admitted enough to condemn
himself. He acknowledged that war
rants and subpenas had been issued
after cases were disposed of-that is,
these processes were manufactured to
correspond with the costs. This was bad
enough, but when asked to produce even
these untimely papers he squirmed and
evaded. and finally, we believe, 1t was
determined that they were locked up in an
old safe and the key lost and it has never
been found to this day. Maybe Sam
sons missing miscellaneous papers are
there too.
Stauffer having protested under oath
that he was innocent and the alderman
denying his accusers right to he heard,
he was reelected that time. But the
seed sown by the exposure of his prac-
tices was not wasted. Twice since then
he has been defeated for mayor, and in
the present arraignment of the aldermen
before the auditors and the public he
may see judgment come upon those who
have followed in his official footsteps
and even enlarged upon his example.
