A sh .rp Bit of Brokerage.

The broker IS supposed to be an impair
tiaI factor in business transaction and TO
act for the interests OF the buyer and seller.
Whether he always does this may be mat
ter of dOabt, but thIt he acts . first, last and
all the time " for his Own interests Is GER

thinks It sdvis ,be [ play little game OF
both his clients Smith we will suppose, Is
doing tel brokerage business. Jones has
a line Of tea which he puts into Smith 5
hands to sell IT twenty-five cents per pound.
Smith knows ne te IS cheap at that pric..
and he looks about FOR a customer which
he finds ia Robinson iie gives the price
however. rs twenty-nine- cents Robinson
draws the tea satiSh with IL and Offers
twenty-seven cents Does the broker now
take the Off-r back TO Jones and close the
bargain Bv u0 means The agency Oi
Mr., Brown IS now utilized by making that
gentleman partner with Smith IN the
Transaction. Jones Is told & Brown hes
bouo5t the tea at twenty-five cents. and
l,rovyn no sooner receives crrt.tic tie OF his
1,,r.bas.. than he bills the line 10 Robinson
at twenty-seyen cents.
The benefit to Smith IS plain when we
understand that by selling the goods direct
he wouId have made but one per cent. brok-

stole softly up to the Jail and seiz-
ing the guard. disposessed him of
his gun and placed him under
guard. With crow-bars and sledge-
hammers they then forced open
the doors and entered the Jail
Then with the gun of the guard,
shot and instantly killed Joe Full
ford, the charge Of buck-shot pass
ing entirely through his body; a
pistol ball was also sent through
the head and he fell dead without
a struggle. They then shot Harry
Bradley, once in the head and once
in the body, the first shot entering
the mouth and the latter passing
nearly through the body. He lived
a short time only. Reuben Rob-
lnson was also shot in the right
side and neck with a shot gun and
pistol, and man who saw him on
Tuesday night said that he GER
tainly died that night. The negro
woman, Sukie Robinson, we learn,
was discharged by the commitment
court.
This, in brief, is the history of
the most atrocious and heinous
crime that we have ever chronicled,
and one, the like Of which, God
forbid we shall ever chronicle
again. As to the punishment melted
out to the perpetrators we shall
have little to say. That it was
just punishment all who read the
above statement of facts must
agree. That the perpetrators of
the wrong, against the laws of the
State, are In a measure excusable,
will be more apparent when the
reflection is considered that only
two years have elapsed since Mrs.
Bronket was similarly murdered
within five miles of where Fulford
was killed and it was the slow, te-
dious and uncertain law-as it is
now administered by the courts,
and melted out by the juries Of the
country to those murderers, that
rendered their escape from punish
ment possible.
We are not advocates of lynch
law-on the contrary we would
condemn in strongest terms its
practice under almost any circum-
stances, but we, and society at
large, will feel safer to know that
if the the juries of the country
lack the manhood and moral cour-
age to enforce the law, justice and
order, that there are those still left
who can put them to the blush in
the quiet determined, swift and
sure administration Of justice, in
such extremely atrocious cases as
the two under consideration.

Judge Black Dead.
The Great Lawyer Dies Peaceful
ly, with Prayers on His Lips.

YORK, Pa, August 20-Judge
jeremiah Black died at ten minutes
past two o'clock Sunday morning.
Though not unexpected, his death
was sudden and was shock to the
community. On Sunday morning
he seemed somewhat better, but
the improvement was too slight to
justify a hope of recovery. An
unfavorable change began about
4 o'clock in the afternoon, and he
gradually grew worse, but remain
ed conscious almost to the end, and
died peacefully. From the begin
ming Of his illness Judge Black
believed that he would never re-
cover, and was perfectly resigned.
Mrs. Black, Lieutenant Governor
Chauncery T. Black and wife, Mr..
and Mrs. Hornsby, A. B. Farquahar
and DIR. Meizenhelder were pres
ent. Many kilograms of condo
lence have been received.
Tomorrow the funeral will take
place at 5p. m. His remains will
be inferred at Prospect Hill ceme-
terry. DR.. Powers, of the Chris
tian church, will oficiate at the
funeral.
Shortly before Judge Black died
he said to his wife: "How can I
fear to cross the dark river when
my father waits for me on the
other shore?" He then added
Would l were as comfortable
about all / leave behind unfinished
in this world" and breathed the
following prayer: ooh! Thou be-
loved and most merciful heavenly
Father, from whom Ihad my being,
and in whom [ have ever trusted,
if it be Thy will, grant that my
suffering end, and that 1 should be
called home to Thee, and oh! my
God, bless and comfort thee, my
Mary"
The immediate cause of his death
was tax@mla produced by the alb
sorption of the retained urinary
constituents. Prior to the opera
ton on Tuesday DR.. McKehnon,
Of York, who had spent the day
with the patient, noticed the APP
pearance of unfavorable symptoms
about four o'clock Saturday even
ing. DIR. Meizenhelder, of York,
who relieved DIR. McKennon about
six o'clock, also noticed the change
for the worse, and from that hour
the increasing gravity of his symp-
toms indicated a gradual failure of
all the vital forces. Judge Black
suffered greatly during his illness,
but his last moments were without
acute pain, and he passed quietly
away, retaining consciousness un.
til within a few minutes of his
death.

His First Day at Saratoga.

Saratoga was a new idea to him
1t was SO jolly to go from spring
to spring and take a drink of
the water of each. No two of the
springs tasted alike. There are
about forty springs at Saratoga.
After tasting nearly half of these
he began to have queer feeling in
side him. After spending nearly
all day this way, he went to bed.
1t seemed as if all the water works
of the lower regions were raising a
riot within him. Afrer several hours
of agony, he thought of PERRY DA-
v1s's PAIN KILLER. 1t gave him re-
lief and comfort, and charmed him
to sleep.

Gather 1t Clean.

The Columbus Enquirer makes
these timely suggestions to plan
tiers: Last winter it was charged
in the liverpool marketthat Amer
lean cotton was often received in
bad shape. Not only this, but
charges of fraudulent packing, sand
ed bales and the like were quite
common. We have never believed
that there was the least shadow of
truth in one-half the statements
made, and when any reasonable
grounds for them did exist, the
facts were doubtless much exag-
gerated- But the new crop will
soon begin to move now, and it be-
hooves the farmers to put up their
cotton in the best possible manner.
They may rest assured that all
losses from unclean picking, bad
ginning and worse packing will
fall upon their shoulders. Whether
or not the Liverpool market re-
ceived much cotton from America,
as has been charged, it will cause
the cotton factors to investigate
more closely, and all defects and
losses must be sustained by the
farmer. When cotton fails to come
up to the sample by which it is
sold, it is thrown back on the pro-
ducer. The indications are that
the price will be low enough at
best, and the farmer should there
fore prepare it as free from trash
and dirt as possible. Even then,
much depends upon the ginning
and packing.

Does Farming Paw!

If nothing is made by farming
how did all the personal property
get into the world, and most of It
into the hands Of peeple that never
produced a cents worth directly ?
Where do the merchants, specula-
tors, manufacturers, lawyers, &C.,
get it? Gold, silver and diamonds,
iron, copper, lead, &C., come from
the mines, but they would not be
worth cent without meat and bread
to back them. The fact is, the whole
fabric of wealth, prosperity and hap
piness is based on meat and bread,
and these come only from the far
mer. Reverse the fool apothegm and
it will come nearer the truth. All
that is made, comes from farming
If the farmer fails to get the benefit
of his labor, that is his lookout, and
shows that there are sharper people
in the world than the farmers.
