presented is large white portal,
arched and with steps ascending to it,
the doors of which have just been

The steps of the portal and cross are
ornamented with Easter cards of most
elegant and delicate design. Just above

foremost ones holding a white satin

AN INNOCENT LANCASTER GIRL BASEL
BETRAYED AND DRIVEN To SUICIDE.

BETRAl Ed AND DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
We gave last week brief notice to
the effect that Nellie Phelps of Ian
caster took poison and died after tell
ing both the attending physician and
the woman where she boarded that
James II. Baird, publisher Of the Lam
caster Republican, accomplished her
ruin and then refused to marry her.
The Lancaster Gazette gives nearly
page to this affair which has so excited
that section, printing history of the
man and the girl, his damnable treach
cry, the doctors and landlady's af1ida
Wits, cOrOner's inquest, etc. We print
extracts, hoping this sad case may
prove warming to other girls not to
get into the power of men however
fair their professions. And are not
our laws altogether too lax in their
man who caused Nellie Phelps death
was the worst kind of IA murderer. 1t
will he interesting to watch what his
punishment shall be.
JAMES II. BAIRD
| has been known to the citizens of Ian
| caster for some three years. He
| worked Mt first for Richardson & Fol
som. and was regarded as skillful in
his business of uphOlsterer. and made
good wages. He was sober, steady
! industrious, apparently fairly educated,
and but little was heard derogatory to
| his character. 1t was asserted that he
had while escorting young ladies home
attempted improper liberties, but OF
course this was hushed up to protect
the reputation of the ladies. Early in
1888 he took charge of the Lancaster
Republican. Thus coming prominent
ly before the people his character and
attainments We're naturally brought
under discussion. Whispers were
heard that he had a wife and children
in either Burlington or Montpelier
Vermont, that he had left Il town south
of Lancaster because of an intrigue
with married lady, that he was nm
duly and unlawfully intimate with 4
Bethlehem girl-but as his life herr
appeared irreproachable almost. thes'
were regarded in the light of silly ru.
mOrs. His visits to each of the abOV,
mentioned places gave some shade o
color to the reports. Baird is short il
! stature, dark and swartly, low browed
restless and uneasy, with regular iea
lures, aud somewhat disposed to ''pu
: OH airs" especially III his walk.
ELLEN f. PHELPS, THE VICTIM,
came to Lancaster on visit to he
/ brother about year ago. She was
comely girl, of fine complexion, quie
. and lady y-like, and with an air Of refine
ment. She was then nearly twenty
z two years of age, and of face ant
D figure that would attract attention

WOrkingmen Taking a Hand-A Bitter
 Protest Against the Election of CIeVe.
 land.
 ALBANY, Aug. 3.-The labor organizations of this section are taking an active interest in the campaign. The leaders by no means enthusiastic for the Democratic can didate. The United Press representative was shown tonight a confidential circular issued by the national eight hour committee Ex-Congressman Murch, of Maine, signs the document as chairman. The other sigma lures are those of H. S. Linker of Pennsyl- vania, Fred F. Bogia of Delaware, John H. Patterson of New York and Dyer D. Lum of Massachusetts. The circular calls attention to the fact that southern Democrats opposed all the labor meas ures at the last session of Congress and declares that no general measure tend ing toward the amelioration of the condition of labor as obtains in the factory legislation of European governments can be expected to receive hearty support from the free trade representatives from the South The con clusions of the committee are as follows: ''To our minds the fact remains that even if the solid South should be broken up politically the new party lines would find it on all measures of an economical nature fully folid.' It is not so much the bloody shirt as the ragged shirt which binds them in unison. Without departing from our province we deem it necessary to add that our experience here has convinced us that workmen cannot receive effective aid in such measures as they may lay before Congress for it's action from party in which the solid South is a chief element of strength In view of this fact evidenced in the recent session we recommend them to consolidate their strength and vote only for men who will not sacrifice their interests to party exigencies. For the first time in our political history the platform of the Re publican party has endorsed specific labor measures. We regard this as the effect of your associate action upon public opinion In the logic of events it means that the labor CT has replaced the slave object of na- honal interest, and that issue rather than the party will receive it's consideration. It re- mains in our power to increase this public opinion and to hold it's candidate for all legislative offices to strict recognition of the important and hopeful fact The Democracy in their platform of 1884 have but the slightest allusion to labor. Their real views were shown in two acts: First in the overwhelm- ing vote by which the labor plank offered by General Butler rejected; and second, in their nomination of Grover Cleveland over the united protest of the various trade unions of New York, thereby adding insult to in jury. We believe that this protest will grow rather than diminish for in the election of Grover Cleveland we would regard all hopes of further legislation in the interest of labor futile With Cleveland President and a southern cabinet our cause for the time be- ing would be lost"

ANEGRO LYNCHED.
NTiscreant Who InsuIted Lady
 Hanged to Convenient Tree.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 3.-Advices received here give disgusting details of an attempted assault on young married lady, named Mrs. Harrison, by brutal negro named John Fitzburgh, near Huntsville, in Rappahannock county, followed by the lynching of the lat ter last night. Fitzburgh was fifty years old and had been attending colored church in the neighborhood of the lady's home on Sun day last. He saw MT. Harrison, her husband, leave home that night, and knew that he was not expected to return. Fitzburgh then went home, armed himself with a revolver and came back to MT. Harrison's. Mrs. Harrison was seated on the porch with an infant in her arms. The negro, who was in 8 nude condition, made infamous proposals to her. She ran into the house, boIted the door and screamed for help Her cries were heard by doctor and a young man i'll the vicinity. They quickly came, but being un- armed, did not kill the negro. They drove him off, however, but he returned again and tected by her neighbors until the return of lodged in the county jail the following day. Since then the news of the occurrence spread and the indignation of the people arose to retributive heat. This eliminated last night in the formation of mob of lynchers, who forcibly took Fitzburgh from the jail and hanged him to convenient tree. There was very little noise or excitement about it, and after effectually doing their lawless work the lynchers retired.

ABOUT SOUPS.
They are Economical but not Necessari-

 Titus M. Coan in Harpers Weekly.l
 Except in large cities, Americans eat very little soup A good bullion or pot au feu. the most economical and appetizing of foods, is what we should use far more than we do ''It is the outcome," says Dr. Radcliffe, ''of ages of experience in people who have spec ial genius for cookery. The animal and vege- table ingredients are so blended that the flavor of no one article is predominant The bouil- lon contains all, or almost all, of the salutable portions of those ingredients which are neces- sary for tissue forming or plastic purposes and for force production" A good pot au feu with bread is an excellent and sufficient meal, provided always that the pot au leu is made from good piece of meat. A good bouillon may indeed may be made from tough piece, but what remains behind will be innutritious and indigeStabe it's virtues hay ing gone into the soup. l have remarked in French families that the housekeepers provide good meat for the pot au leu, and though they boil 1t two or three hours, they take care not to extract it's virtues entirely by too much boiling, so that the bouilli, or soup meat, is good and palatable when served with a sauce. Here is an approved recipe (Gouffes) for a pot au feu for four or five persons Fresh meat Ca good piece) one and three quarter pounds; fresh bones, well broken up, quar- ter of pound; leeks, seven ounces; carrots, onions, turnips, each five and half ounces; parsnips, one ounce; celery, one-third of an ounce; caramel, very little; water, four quarts. Place the meat and bones in the stew pans, the bones undermost; pour in the water and add the salt; put it on the fire un- til the water boils and the scum begins to rise; then take the stew pan off; add little cold water, remove the scum with skim mer; then add the vegetables, and put the stew pan near enough to the fire for the con tents to simmer (not boiD for three or four hours; do not close the lid tightly; then pour off the bouillon; when it is in the soup tureen, add enough caramel to give it delicate | orange tinge This bouillon is quite as good on the second day on the first The bouilli, | or meat is prepared dish in several ways; | it is commonly eaten sauce. I have called this dish economical because nothing is lost. But though economical, it is not necessarily cheap; it is all the better for put ting the best materials into it. Let us re- habituate the bouillon in our own kitchens from the example of the best housekeepers in the world, the French-a people, indeed, from whom we Americans might learn if we would, in other matters than those of domes- tic economy, more useful things than from any other people

How a Man Felt after Touching an
 Electric Wire.

EIecGf1c W1fcs
 NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-John Sullivan, a young man employed as cleaner in Bene- diets building at Cortlandt streetand Broad way, met with a curious accident last night. He was standing on the sill of the window on the ground floor cleaning the window pane, when in moving the window he Intentionally placed his hand on wire conveying the cur rent to an electric light which hangs over the sidewalk. He immediately became uncon- scious and remained in imminent danger of falling to the sidewalk in that condition for some minutes. Some young men noticed his condition and climbed up awning to where Sullivan was and got him through the window into the building. An ambulance was summoned and he was removed to the Chambers street hospital, where he recovered his senses. His hand was found to have across the palm mark as of pretty severe burn, but except for the shock his nerves had sustained he was pronounced to be all right His hand was dressed and he returned to Benedict's building under the care of the janitor. Sullivan, when seen by a reporter last night, said he ''felt as though he had been shot all over" when he caught hold of the wire He could remember no more about it. He seemed weak and was very pale.
