An esteemed correspondent, himself

himself the most trusted as well as one
OF the most useful men of his cOmmuni

MONDAY EVENING. FEB. 4 1884,
The Man for Mayor.

The Democratic primaries in this city
on Saturday called out an unprecedent-
edly large vote, which Is token OF the
interest felt by the party In maintain
ing for Lancaster. through its represent
atiye in the mayoralty, the wise, eco
uomical and yet progressive administra'
tion which has been afforded during May
or Mace Gonigle's three terms. There was
little previous excitement and very
brief canvass by the candidates, but
nearly two thousand voters came out to
attend the primaries and made a free
and fair expression Of their preferences.
None Of the candidates have any cause
to be ashamed OF the result, nor of the
means by which 1t was effected, and
those who failed and their friends will
be Just as ready to turn in and ratify the
nominations as Mr.. McMullen's friends
would have been had he been In mi.
nority.
The Democratic candidate, selected by
q decisive majority over all, in such a
full vote, needs no introduction to our
citizens. His qualifications are well
known. BY education, profession and
interest heis identified with those affairs
which are the concern of good city gov.
ernment. His capacity, integrity and
industry are well known to all who know
him. He 10 good lawyer, and
what is more to the point,
he is a good citizen. Elected repeatedly
to councils from Republican ward, he
has demonstrated his knowledge of and
ability to deal with municipal affairs to
the satisfaction of his cons ituents and
In view Of all our citizens His ready
dscernment Of the right, hispromptness
and courage to do it, his untiring atten
tion to details aud his practical knowl
edge of affairs are the qualifications
which it one for the Office for which
the Democracy present him and tc
which the people will elect him.

An Arrest for Assault on anLother-in-La"
and Abuse Of Wife.
An almost pitiable and yet an aggravated
case OF domestic difficulty was developed
| last evening. by the arrest of John a. Long
BY Officer Bird, on charge of abusing his
wife and assaulting his mother-in-law. For
long time past, the Long house, in the
rear of the saloon, Just below the REGISTER
Office, has been the scene of a series Of dis
graceful family fights, in which Long and
his wife have been alternately the aggres-
so. Time and again the attention Of the
police has been called to it, but no arrest
had been made and it was the
general opinion the police had
winked at the open violation
of the law. On Sundays the fighting was
always the worst and the employees about
the REGISTER Office had grown familiar with
the earspltting shrieks and screams which
arose from the yard below. A week ago
last night large crowd gathered about the
yard and peered over the fences, Watching
the fight then in progress, and though po-
lice attention was called, no one put In an
appearance and the fight ended itself as
best it could.
About dark last evening there was a
grand renewal of the hostillties, and nearly
a hundred people crowded the yard and
filed the overlooking windows and fences
20 look at the results and express their
condemnation. This row began in the
afternoon, when Long and his wife
began charging each other with various Of
lenses. Mrs NJ. Fl. Gregg, Mrs. Longs
mother, was present, and advised her daugh-
ter TO get an officer and have Long arrested.
On this advice, an officer was summoned,
out when he arrived, the mother-in-law
weakened and would not swear out war
raut. She afterward suffered for her soft,
ness Of heart, for in the evening Long had
low with her and struck her blow in the
right eye, laying her ont on the steps. Mrs.
Long ran into the yard and raised the whole
neichborhood with her cries, denouncing
her husband for striking woman and an
old woman at that. In two minutes an
immense crowd had gathered and presently
Officers Bird and Sylvis put in an appearance.
Long wanted to give security for his ap..
pearance at police co 'rt but Bird refused
it and locked him up. His wife was anx-
ious to have him simply put out of the
house, without being arrested, but this
could not be done and he was taken to the
lookup.
The whole cause of this unhappy state, is
drink. When sober, Long is an affection
ate and tender husband and cannot do too
much for his wife, but strong drink seems
% craze him, and these attacks on his wife
are periodical. The neighborhood cries out
against it and it must be stopped.

Gas Wen Items.

Natural gas Is DOW in use in about three
hundred families in Washington.
The gas we'll being sunk at Brilliant, says
:, Re, Wellsburg News, by the Spaulding iron
works, mas been, abandoned at depth Of
1920 feet, no gas SSsing found.
The natural gas well in course Of drilling
at Palter / Sons mills, on the South Side,
Pittsburg, has opened heavy vein of salt
water, the flow. being estimated at 1900
arrels per day. There is some little gas
accompanying the salt water, BAT not quite
enough for any practical purposes.
The professionalexpert who knows just
where gas may be found, and where not,
has located the spot where the Claysville
Gas and Light Co. may End the valuable
fluid, and be happy The previous spot,
however, is located about mile from the
borough limits. This distant location sur
prises a good many Of the company, who
have never Cncs even imagined that ges

the Patriot, with keener financial sense,
see that the cost Of piping the gas from
the spot where it is proposed to find il, will
be more expensive than it was thought.

papers will not require repetition of the
fact, as stated that this will be good fair.
Everything indicates it and nothing but
one thing can prevent it and that is rain.
At this writing the unclouded sky gives
promise of unlimited fair weather, but the
appearance, during the past two days, OF
sundry sheep clouds would indicate rain in
the near future a shower would be god
send, as the dust and heat are terrific and
only continued rain can interfere to any
extent.
Most of the exhibits will be in reaniness
by this afternoon, at least, aud By morning
the fair will be in full blast. A great deal
