The County Convention.

The Democratic county convention
which met and did its work to day, wac
I vary excellent body Of earnest men who
dispatched their business in an orderly,
systematic way, 30 that the result cau
BE- cheerfully and consistently acqui-
escod in even by those who would have
had it otherwise. The convention was
especially careful to select such ticket,
even for the offices to which the Democra'
cy have little hope Of electing, as would do
credit TO them were the relation OF the
parties here different from what 1t is. In
Paris IIaldeman, for instance, the
party would have q Congressman
OF whom It might be proud and
Who would be O ft representative
of this great county and Its varied In.
tarests. What q vivid contrast ID. e.
Eshleman would be on the bench to the
Judges the Republican party has given
us! And IL there was virtue In the
political majority of the lower senatorial
district DR.. John Martin would make 1t
impossible for Amos Ii. Mylin to get
back to the Senate. The nominees for
assembly and other places on the ticket
were In like manner selected with re
gard to the dignity of the offices and the
qualifications of fit incumbents fol
them.
The chief interest and excitement
centered in the contest for county com
missioner, the nomination to which il
equivalent to an election. The conven
tion had choice between good men
and could not we'll have gone wrong
Mr.. Hartman was leading can
didate three years ago; he ha'
a large and devoted personal following
attached to him for his sturdy thrift ant
honesty and genial personal qualities
he is representative Of and was enthu
siastically backed by the German ele
ment, which constitutes so large
portion Of the citizenship Of this county
especially in the towns, and which cor
tributes 80 largely to the strength OF tn
Democracy. Mr.. Schroeder, the nomine
for auditor, is a young man OF larg
clerical experience and ability, who viii
bring to the place conscientious zeal an
an earnestness tor the proper discharg
of Its duties.
The nominees for both these oiIlce
the Importance Of which under the me-
salary bill is greatly enhanced, will hay
the support of united party in the
determination to check extravaganza
misrule and favoritism in county affair
They can we'll afford to stand up mar
fully against these, and if no one (
their Republican colleagues will c.
operate with them they can at least ear
the reward and have the satisfaction {

Robert A. Scott Of Little Britain shot q
fine largo American gray eagle in his
woods on the 9th ult. Mr.. Scott was at
work In his field when he heard great
noise in the woods and looking for the
cause discovered a. lot OF crows flying
after aud making great fuss over large
bird. He procured his gun aud shot it,
breaking one of its wings. Tho bird
came to the ground and on Mr.. Scott's ap.
proach it flew at him in fierce manner
and showed fight. He then fired again
and shot 1t through the head. IL proved
to be a large eagle, measuring six feet
seven inches across its extended wings. 1t
had large head, sharp curved beak and
long talons al sharp as needles. 1t was a
noble looking bird. Mr.. Scott brought it
to our office on Wednesday aud sent 1t to
q taxadermist at West Chester to have it
prepared for preservation. An eagle has
lately been seen flying around the lower
townships Of Lancaster aud Chester coun-
ties and this Is supposed TO bo the same
bird.

lead charmed life and 1t is hoped no one
will attempt to destroy 1t.

A Big Thief,

The big difference between a rich thief
and poor one 10 receiving striking ex-
emplification in the method of disposal
of Ferdinand Ward the hero of the great
Wall street fzzle of few weeks ago. 1t
is an undOubted fact that Ward was
guilty of swindling just as much as would
be the lowest scamp who would raise
the figures in a check or forge the name
OF maker to a note. But Mr.. Ward
was guilty of refined thieyery and his
offence is not therefore classed as tel-
opy, as would be the stealing Of horse,
though the latter species of wrong doing
is to the form er as water is to wine.
Mr.. Ward, instead of languishing be-
hind prison bars for an offense against
the commonwealth, is restrained in iail
simply under a civil process. The
sheriff of New York is responsible for
his safe keeping, and he may, if he sees
at, let his prisoner 60 abroad without
let or hindrance. 1t is an admitted fact
that Ward has gone forth from time to
time since his incarceration attended by
deputy. Thus Is an opportunity given
to him TO see his friends and agree upon
story that shall help to cover his short
comings when the civil suit is tried. 1t
is unquestionably wrong that this state
OF affairs should exist. The man who
has been guilty of such wholesale swind
ling as this dapper New Y ork gentleman
should be made to pay the cost of his
whistle. According to his own admis
sions, he has obtained money and prop.
erty from people under false representa-
tions, and he should be in the Tombs on
felonious charge instead Of driving
around New York with the object in
view OF Strengthening out his crooked
record if such thing is possible.
The law that makes this distinction
favoring rich thieves is radically wrong
The man that steals millions should be
placed at least on level with the pick
pocket who steals wallet with an insig
nificant sum. Wards perfdy has robbed
hundreds where the pick pocket robs but
one. 1t is time to blet out the distinc
tion between rich and poor thieves.

THE UkEMATiOS FURNACE.
Resurrection for John wicKlinos Ashe.


Reformed Church Messenger.
The newspapers announce that ore
matory is to be built in Lancaster, Pa,
and that 1t will be finished at an early
date-in time TO meet any demand for il
which may be made, after tho one at
Washington, Pa, has been closed to those
who have lived outside of the county in
which 1t is located. The names associated
with the movement will give it character,
and We would not be surprised at its sue
cess. There is a growing sentiment in
favor OF the incineration of dead bodies,
and this is supported by many cogent ar
guments. The example set by the late
Prof. s. ID. Gross, and the reasons he
assigned for 1t, arc having great
weight with people, who formerly
looked upon anything but a burial Of
their remains, with adherence. One
great drawback to any such change in
the disposal OF the human body after
death, lies in tho fact that the burial Of
the body has always been regarded as
Christian, while burning has been assooi-
ated with pagan rites. This feeling must
not be thought strange. 1t is hard to
change a practice that has had 30 many
holy associations connected with 1t, and IL
is well that Il is SO, But some have gone
30 far as to think the resurrection would
be effected by 1t. We remember one good
old lady, now gone to rest, who thought
the triumphs of the last day would be com.
pletely frustrated by 1t. OF course Ii is
folly to think 80. John Wickliffe, whose
ashes were treated 30 ignominiously, liz
Just as sure of all that has been promised
as he could have been IL his body had
been embalmed and entomed with Egyp-
tian care.

sixty days time within which to file the
schedules Of the insolvent firm. The ex.

Receiver Davies, who says that he is

make any schedules or to assist him in any
