Since the world has learned that Gui- |
tsau hob-nobbed with some of the most |
prominent politicians in the country, one |
is prepared for almost any incongruity Of
fellowship in American politics, but still
the revelations that the hitherto unknown
J.H. Woodward makes are little remark
able, either proving. Mr.. Woodward to be a
brazsn liar or the mass OF Ohio politicians
OF high and low degree to be curiously
heterogeneous collection.
Be it remembered that Governor Foster
was reported as having declared that
Hoadly had confessed to paying $4,000
to secure the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination. Hoodly denied the aocusa-
tion, and Foster repeated that an acquaint-
anoe had told him that Hoadly had made
such confession. Hoadly asked the name
OF his aoouser, and then Woodward wrote
letter to Foster, now published, detail
ing q. conversation with Hoadly in which
the latter is represented to have
failed to deny rumor

Erroneous reports have been circulated
that the Mutual hail insurance compauies 8
of Lancaster and York counties have dis
banded by reason of the heavy losses re-
sulting from the tobacco destroyed by the
recent hail storms. There is no truth
whatever in these reports. The compa.
MES have paid or will pay all losses as
rapidly as they can be adjusted. They
are organized on the mutual plan and
cannot become bankrupt. In addition to
the cash premium paid at the time of in
surance, the company takes from the
insured a premium note equal to
6 per cent. of the amount of
his insurance. Usually the cash
premium paid is sufficient to cover all
losses, but when it is insufficient the COM
panies collect the full amount or only q
part of the premium notes as may be
nenessary. Even if the full amount of the
premium notes was insufficient to pay the
losses the company could not become
bankrupt, but would pay to the
insured q pro rata of their insur
ance, so far as the funds of the company
(Which are in reality the funds of the in
sured) would reach. Tobacco farmers
can make no mistake in taking out poll
cies in mutual companies. If their
tobacco is destroyed they are we'll paid for
it; if it is not destroyed they can we'll
afford to pay triAing premium for the
benefit Of their less fortunate neighbors.

A Thrilling Escape.
Mount JOv Star.

Mount Joy Star.
In close succession within the past two
or three weeks A. 3. Lands, proprietor
of the Lsnds' coach works, made no less
than three narrow escapes from accident
on the railroad. Friends saved him each
time. The closest rescue occurred on
Wednesday morning just as the N iagara
express was passing west over Main street
crossing. Mr.. Landis was walking on
Barbara street past the Exchange hotel as
the train approached. Being almost deaf
he did not hear the train moving along,
neither did he look around. John Whar-
veil, proprietor Of the Exchange hotel,
seeing the danger Mr.. Lands was walking
iuto, caught him by the coat when within
a step from the north rail. Lands
looked towards the west, and, not seeing
the train, moved on. The heroic little
landlord struggled with Mr.. Lands, both
being on the railroad. and almost instantly
succeeding in pushing Mr.. Lands from
the track, barely escaping with his own
life. In the scuff1e Mr.. Wharvell injured
one of his hands. The train was running
slowly and the engineer sounded the dan
ger whistle. A large crowd witnessed the
thrilling scene.

RIVAL INSURANCE COMPANIES.

They Bring SUITS Against Each Other.
The Office of Alderman Fordney was
filled with people for several hours to-day,
who had como to listen to the hearing in
two false pretence and one forgery case,
which seem to have grown out of the
rivalry between two insurance companies.
w. N. Lucas, an agent of the Prudential
company with headquarters in this city,
was charged by Alfred Colborn. an agent
of the Metropolitan company Of Columbia
with false pretense in obtaining book
from him by representing himself
to be another man. II H. Snyder,
of the Prudential company charged
Colborn with false pretence, al.
leging that he represented himself to be
an agent in his employ. Snyder was
charged with forgery by Colborn, who
claimed that he wrote him a postal card
using the name of another man. The wit
nesses were all officers and agents of these
heavy insurance companies. There was
not much in the false preteuse cases and
the strongest one was against Snyder. The
alderman reserved his decision.

THE EPnRATA MUSIC.

some Lignt Thrown on An Interesting
subject.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, under the uame of "Antiquarian''
asked short time ago for information
whether the music practiced at Ephsata
monastery, in Lancaster county, is now
anywhere in use or in MSS? Investigation
has developed the fact that while the pc.
culiar style of rendering the music has
been lost, manuscript copies of the hymns
sung at the ''KlOster" are by no means
rare. Copies handed down as precious
heirlOOms are still extant in the neighbor
hood of Ephrata, and H. Zahm's book
store, in this city, contains two which are
iu an excellent state of preservation. They
are in old German text, each containing
about $50 hymns, differing from each
other, and the illuminated letters and
vignettss show rare perfection in penman.
ship. The first hymn book of the seventh
Day Baptists was printed by Christoph
Sauer, in Germantown, in 1889. The first
book printed in Ephrata was in 1744, aud
from the fact that the manuscript copies
alluded to contain printed indexes, it is
more than probable that they were written
a short time afterwards.
Rupp's history of Lancaster county says
the music is lost entirely now at Ephrata;
not the music books, but the style of slug
ing they never attempt it any more. 1t
is, however. still preserved and finely ex-
ecuted, though in a faint degree, at Snow
Hill, in Franklin county. where there is a
branch of the society, and which is now
the principal settlement of the Seventh
Day Baptsts."
The 'Kloster" contained a room, "Das
Schrieb Zimmer," used for the purpose of
transcribing the Writings OF Conrad
Beissel, the founder of the sect,
and another exclusively devoted to
the copying of music. Beissel him
self is said to have been quite musi
cal genius, his native ability and fine
musical discrimination being discernible
in the thousand productions which the
society had in its possession OF the music
itself Rupp says {: '' 1t was set in four, Fix
and eight parts. All the parts, save the
bass, were led and sung exclusively by
females, the men being confined to the
bass, which was set iu two parts, the high
and low bass." It's effect, when rendered
in the conventicle, with its low ceilings, is
said to have been indescribabiy fine.
Many of these quaint manuscript copies
were probably lost, when just prior to the
battle of Germantown in the war of the
Revolution, three wagon loads of books
were seized at Ephrata by soldiers and
used by them as wadding for their mus.
kets.
