AFTER HORSE THIEVES.
Property Stolen In Maryland and Traced to
Lancaster-StiIl In Pursuit.


Lancaster-StiIl In Pursuit.
Last evening Thomas Eaton and J. s.
Price, of Baltimore county, Maryland, ar
rived in this city in search of a pair of
stolen horses and thieves. II appears that
on Saturday night two small black mares
were taken from stable at Quaker Bottom,
Baltimore county. One of the animals be-
longed to Mr.. Price and the other to Thos.
Eaton. After stealing the horses the
thieves rode them eight miles to the resi-
dence of Peter Enzer, at Parktown, where
they stole buggy, almost new. They
hitched the horses to the vehicle and started
came known party started in pursuit of
the fleeing thieves. They tracked them to
Shenk's Ferry, where they crossed the river
before noon on Sunday. There were two
men in charge of>the team; one was very
large fellow and the other was somewhat
smaller, but of stout build. The large man
seemed to be acquainted at the ferry and
spoke in familiar terms to the boatman.
People residing there state that he often
crosses the river with horses in his posses
sion. The men stopped at the hotel on the
other side. They stated that they had bor-
rowed one of the horses, which seemed
greatly fatigued, and they would not feed
there. From the ferry the team was traced
directly to this city.
The parties stopped at the Sorrel Horse
hotel, on West King street, about o'clock.
They had tho horses fed and remained in
town until 12 o'clock at night, when the
storm had subsided. Upon leaving they
said they were going to Philadelphia. The
team was seen on the streets in this city by
number of persons who say that it Tailed
exactly with the descriptions given. Since
Sunday night nothing has been learned of
the stolen property or thieves, and it is not
known what route was taken by the thieves
from this city. 1t is believed by many that
the horses were either disposed of in this
county or the thieves were rapidly making
their way to market. One of the stolen
horses was years old and the other 9.
One is somewhat smaller than the other.
One has white scar on the left flank and
the other has a star ON the forehead.
Messrs. Eaton aud Price will continue their
pursuit of the thieves.

Business and Labor.

The business situation is puzzle TO
the ordinary observer, who sees that the
crops are good and that money lisa drug
on the banks OF the business centres
and wonders why under these conditions
business is not brisk, bought to be, and
will be when confidence conquers timid
ity. There is no good reason why busi-
ness should be In its present condition,
and therefore the probability is that it
will shortly emerge from it; with slow
and staggering steps perhaps, but yet
with forward movement. The country
Is rich and growing. The cheapness
Of production in it is being
daily increased. The skill of our work.
men and the labor saving products Of
our ingenuity, give us great advantage
over other countries In manufacturing
industry, which offsets the cheapness of
their wages. The cheapness of labor and
of wages are two very different things.
Labor at two dollars day may be
cheaper than labor at one, and the labor
Of machinery is cheaper than that of
hands. The mixture of races In this
country, the democratic freedom and
equality, the reward won by inventive
endeavor, and the opportunity offered
for energetic and intelligent ef.
fort make our people the
foremost In the world in the
field of labor. Labor will prosper
here when it does anywhere, and
II Is certain that at this early period in
the growth OF the country there can
come no long halt in its prosperity. We
expect to see speedily renewal of
profitable industry. We do not expect
to see soon return of the high prices of
railroad stocks, which were produced by
speculation and manipulation and never
were justified by the legitimate earnings
Of the roads. But we have use for all
our railroads, and it will not be long
before we will want many more miles OF
track. Railroad tracks will not cease
to extend until every acre Of land is
within easy reach of them. If our Leg
islature will but see to it in the future
that no unnecessary tax is put upon our
Industries by the extravagant and spec
ulative cost Of the new rails that are laid
down, we will escape hereafter the
injuries that these premature schemes
have caused and one great cause of fnan
cial convulsion will be removed. 1t isa
misfortune that these heavy ups and
downs In business prosperity should
overtake the country SO often, and II
should be the care of the Legislature to
avoid them.

Ths FIery Shroud.

NN Inv ktuhy Cnhvuvs
Tho gentlemen chosen by the local
cremation society to formally present its
cause TO the public on the occasion Of
opcnipe the crematorium In Lancaster,
have performed their duty very well. 1t
vas quite fitting that the question in
vOl7ed and which has taken deep hold
of the popular mind, should be discussed
by physician and q minister, respective.
" from the sanitary and religious points
Of View. After 10 many years practice
Of the prevailing mode of sepulture by
burial, the weight of public sentiment
seems to be opposed to the new mode of
dispcsing of the dead body and the best
arguments for 1t are to be made from
the hygienic standpoint.
No one will dispute that II human
bodies had been burned instead of
buried for the past two or three
thousand years, a proposition to aban.
don that method and to give the
corpse over TO earth's mould and the
worms would encounter more violent
opposition than cremation has met. So
strong is the force of habit and the law
of custom that it may be expected the
cremation methods will encounter vio-
lent popular prejudice and superstitious
horror. Against these, however, nearly
every great sanitary innovation has con-
tended, and every new departure has
been taken after superstition-some-
times confounded with religion-had
made clamorous protest. The example
Of the celebrated DR.. Gross, now fol-
lowed with the greeting OF DIR. Ham
mond to the Lancaster cremationists,
furnished eminent scientific authority
for the new methods and DR.. Davis, in
his thoughtful discourse, full of sugges
tive facts, elaborates this phase of the
subject in convincing manner.
The character Of the men who, by pre-.
cept and example, here and elsewhere,
have sanctioned cremation, ought to be
sufficient answer to those who seek to
bring religious objections to bear against
II. Such arguments have not been
proved tenable, nor have they shown
warrant In Revelation, though persisted
in with zeal that often borders on
fanaticism. Considering how many Of the
church's martyrs perished at the stake
and went to glory on wings of fire, it is Q
little to be wondered at that nineteenth
century preachers have made their pull
pits the base of an attack on these more
refined and quicker processes Of bodily
dissolution. Since they have been the
most effective and determined opponents
of cremation, it is fortunate for the
movement here that one of its expo
nents, a Christian minister himself, Of
piety and learning, should have essayed
to meet the sentimental objections. Rev
Hark's address answers these completely
and leaves little to be said on that point.
When it shall soon have been deter
mined that cremation is the sanitary,
sensible and economical mode Of dispo
sing of the dead, and one after another
of those whom the community respect
for good sense and good morals yields tc
and embraces the new method, 1t will be
forgotten or it will be remembered only
to be wondered at that cremation wal
ever opposed on sentimental or religiou'
grounds.

TsF new Board Of Supervisors has

honor upon II. On this account we

Is composed Of good material and that
there are some men OF really great
usefulness upon 1t, who understand
the needs Of Los Angeles county and
who will doubtless do their best TO
meet them. The first Of these IL the
adoption Of an intelligent road sys-
tenn. Our past handling Of this ques-
ton has been hungling and defective
in the extreme. Whatever little work
may have been put upon the roads
has been 10 much labor simply
thrown away. This thing Of beveling
roads with clay and dust, which are
converted into n Serbonian bog In
winter, does absolutely no good what
soever. II is mockery, delusion and
a snare. Whatever money is spent
upon the roads hereafter ought to be
expended with view TO their pefma-
nent improvement. Rock and not
clay should be the material employed
in their creation. While il may be
necessary, here and there, to repair
roads which have become quag-
mires, n plan of thorough
fares leading TO the more impor-
tant settlements Of the county should
be devised, and some miles Of each,
more or less, ought to be macadam-
lied every year. The aim should be
TO give us good roads leading north,
south, east and west. As it is to-day
one cannot go to the San Gabriel, the
verdugo, Downey City, Santa Monica
or Wilmington save at the imminent
risk Of smashing ones conveyance.
There is not single half mile Of
roadway in Los Angeles city or
county, outside Of public and private
race courses, where horse may be
safely speedcd. That Board Of SUI
pervisors which shall be instrumental
in giving us good roads will be in
shrined in the hearts Of II grateful
