heads creek, near the Delaware water
gap to hook fish through the ice. A ten
year old son of Mr.. Buck desired to
accompany the party, but was refused.
After the party started, the lad, thinly
clad, followed them, and after running
five miles caught up, unobserved, to the
wagon in which Mr.. Buck aud the others
were driving. He seated himself en- the
rear axle until the wagon had gone three
miles further, when he was discovered
half frozen. The party administered
whisky and took the lad with them to the
river. They made bed of brush and put
the boy in a blanket and covered him
with an overcoat. Then they left him
and went fishing. When they returned
the boy was numb and unconscious. The
child was taken home, but he died the
next day.

The arrival in Chicago of Frederick Geb-

in Mrs. Langtry, and stories of all kinds
have been set afloat regarding tho two.
Mrs. Langtry occupies rooms 3, and Z at
tho Grand Pacific. and Mr.. Gebhart occu-
pies rooms 1873, 13j and 1877 at the same
hotel. Although Mr.. Gcbhard arrived in
Chicago at eleven a. H., On Friday, Mr.. +.
\. Schwab, Mrs. Langtry's business man
ager, says that he did not meet Mrs. Lang
try until four o'clock Saturday afternoon,
at Haverly's. Saturday afternoon an
unusually large house greeted her and she
met q cordial reception. Mr.. Gebhard
furnished the following letter to the
press {:
.'Sir Since my arrival in Chicago, I

upon lady whose friendship am proud
to possess. and who is as painfully sur

chivalry and independence arc supposed
to exist, every day should be marked by a
new and coarse invasion into her private
life. My attentions to Mrs. Langtry are
such as any gentleman should, without
comment, be privileged to pay to any lady.
Mrs. Langtry is here in the company Of
her husbands sister, dwelling in public
hotel, and the object of such scrutiny as
mono but a person of irreproachable char
acter would court. A little reflection
would, I am sure, suggest to most people
that many of the remarks made in rela

that account the more dependent upon
congenial friends for few hours relaxa
ton alter her duties to the public have
been performed, are scarcely in consonance
with Justice, kindness or decency.

Rivalry OF Corporations.

\ Philadelphia correspondent OF the
Nur Era, for whose diSinterest e;inpsS
it vouches, writes to excite public appre-
hension Of the evils threatened by the
advance Of the Vanderbilt power and
capital into the coal ANA railroad inter-
estS of the state, and predicts az alarm
ing condition Of things because a Man.
haitian railroad king has set his foot in
the heart of PennSy ylyAnia, and is buying
up lands, preparing to ship and sell coal,
intending to crush down and crowd uut
all opposition and sell coal at such prices
as lie p!eases."
The reliability aud diSiltereStel;l.;ss Of
this correspondent my be gaugah by
the fact that, in attempting to de
Scrib, the condition Of things which has
stimulated the construction Of new rail
roads to otEeptnnsylvania bituminous coal
fields, he says: "The great Pennsylvania
railroad has extended its line into that
region, has furnished cars as rapidly us
possible, has confined Itself to the leyiti
mate functions of carrier, doing justice
to all. .... Our own Pennsylvania rail
road can provide all transportation facil.
tiles necessary These Statements are
notoriously at variance with the truth.
Had the Pennsylvania railroad company,
with the great advantages it already
possessed, in the way OF constructed
lines, been able and willing to "provile
all transportation facilities necessary
in the receatiy developed coal fields,
doing justice to all the new line
would never have been built. From the
rivalry of great corporations the public
has far less to fear than from the undis.
puJed supremacy Of one. Every con-
sumer of coal in this county gets his
fuel cheaper by reason of the fact that
Lancaster has two rival railroad systems
bringing it 10 our market. The Penn.
sylvanis railroad company, with a mo-
nopoly of advantages in the Clearfeld
region, abused them; and with a monop
oily of the line from the east to the west
err yart of the state has maltreated local
shippers. Hence the necessity for riva,
system. The public will welcome it,
fully conscious that i'm the competition
of the capitalists lies the protection of
the people.

have drawn up preamble and resolutions
reciting the sad event and testlfying "that
in expression of our feelings therefore in

full gospel minister our own society:
whom he for three years so faithfully
served as pastor, friend whose name has
become household word his family, a
kind and affectionate husband and father;
and the country, a loyal and patriotic
citizen. That we shall always cherish his
memory with grateful and heartfelt affec-

with the bereaved family and offer our

mourn like those who mourn without
