LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEWS FROM THE JAIL EEEAKEl:s.

Hiding Among tho Martic HIlls-steallnG
Horses to Facilitate Their Flight.
Nine Of tho escaped convicts arc still at
large and although many stories are in
circulation about their whereabouts it
seems that no one has as yet captured any
of them. Yesterday . long account Of
them appeared in the New York Herald.
The dispatch was from Reading and it
contained moro lies to the square inch than
any article that has yet been written a; all
the truth that was in the dispatch was a
rehaSh of what was published in the Ian.
caster papers days ago.
A story is ON the town to-day to the
effect that Paul Quigley, one of the pris.
oners, with companion, was seen at the
''spoos" house, near the Conestoga rail
road bridge, last night. They shot at a
man named Ranck, and then made their
escape.
On Thursday night two Of the escaped
cOnvicts went to school house near Raw
linsville, where they spent some time. In
the evening, after dark, one OF
the men went to the store in the
village and purchased two shirts and
two pair of overalls, after which they fled
to parts unknown. They were seen by a
number of parties and arc known to have
been convicts. It is likely that they are
the two men who crossed the Susquehanna
in boat afterwards. While the one was
in the store purchasing goods it is said
that Underkeeper MUIR and Herr, the
cigar boss, who were in search of them,
were setting in the hotel, which is directly
opposite the store.
1t is just as likely as not that some of
the prisoners have taken advantage of the
crowd and are in town to-day in country
mems clothing.
On Friday night horse and buggy
were stolen from man named Breneman,
neaa Rawlinsville. The thieves were
tracked to Quarryville and the stolen prop
erty was found about three miles east of
New Providence, on Saturday afternoon
about three o'clock. The thieves arc sup
posed to have been the escaped convicts. A
small man who was a stranger was seen
in the neighborhood OH Friday evening.
Prisonkeeper Burkholder and Officer
Gill went down toward Rawlinsville yes
terday, but found no further traces of the
fugitives.
Two horses were stolen last night from
Samuel Hambright, milkman, who lives
in Mannheim township, just off tho New
Holland turnpike. They were traced out
to the turnpike, down which they were
likely ridden by tho thieves, and they may
yet turn up deserted by those who used
them to escape.

The Truth-FOr Once.
N. Y. Truth.

1t is only within few years that the
Dunkers began to build churches at all,
their public worship being conducted IN
their barns, which are among the finest
structures in the state. 1t is seldom an
accident happens at barn raising, there
fore the Lancaster Dunkers are likely to
argue from this circumstance that church
raising provokes the anger of the Lord.

command under him. He has squarely
said that the ticket is not to be with
drawn that the old convention is to be
recalled within three weeks to nominate
successor for Tom Marshall; and that
he shall he promi nent business man
from Philadelphia, most likely John
Wanamakcr, than whom nobody better
understands the art of advertising. It
is plain that there are some difficulties
in the way of this policy. The president of
the late convention holds that it is dead,
and some Of its members have joined the
independents /; many of them will prob
ably not 60 to another convention. Then
the nomination of another Philadelphian,
even of "a business man." with plenty
of money" will leave the Cameron ticket
hopelessly weak in the west, where it
most needs protection, and where Mar
shall's nomination was expected to aid
it. But, it is to be presumed, that Cam
eroI sees bigger and fercer lions in every
other path and that he will not depart
from nor turn back in the one in which
he has set out.
1t is absolutely ridiculous to hear that
he avows a ''purpose of making manu-
facturers, merchants, bankers and other
business elements accept his battle as
their Own," and threatens {" retaliation
unless he can be successfully supported
in his life or death struggle with the In
dependents. In his threat he proclaims
himself in one breath both knave and
fool, and his avowed purpose shows
that he is an utter ignoramus, incapaci-
tated for public duty. No intelligent
man believes that any business interest
would suffer from The defeat of Don
Cameron's personal ticket in Pennsylva-
mia this fall. With the tariff question
referred to a commission, Cameron will
not be in a position to help or hurt that
cause during the balance of his senatorial
term. But if he was he is a knave to
threaten to vote against his convictions
to spite those who desert him, and he is
a fool to expect that any considerable
number of people will be scared by such
threats.

y HALr-BREED Washington CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia Times says
1.-The abstract Garfield idea rises on
every hand to confront and oppose prac-
tical politics - and the editor of the
Philadelphia Press in his literary ad-
dress at Millersville the other evening
deplored the 'spoils system" which in
duced 4 wrangle between president and
Senate over custom house, and spoke
of Garfield as victim to that system.
Nothing could be further from the truth
than the position assumed in this mat
ter by these instructors of public opinion.
The . Garfield idea" in appointing Rob-
ertson TO the New York custom house
in place of Merritt was as purely "prac-
tlcal politics as any act of Conkling or
Cameron, as dire Il betrayal of L" civil
service reform "as any appointment ever
made by Grant or Arthur. 1t was an
ineXcusable breach of faith, removal
OF an officer against whom there was no
charge OF unlitness, and the appointment
OF his successor simply to crafty and aid
the Blaine faction. If Garfield's death
is to be traced to this "wrangle over
custom house," in the name of all that
is honest and decent. let the truth he
said, that Mr.Garfield acted in direct op-
position to all the principles of what is
called civil service reform.
