LANCASTER. JUNE 20, 1885.
Consumed BY the Consumers.


The Consumers gas company, which is
the Reading name of the Lancaster gas |
company, went to our neighborng town to |
give it the benefit of gas competition and |
Reading welcomed it and called it blessed. |
1t had warm side toward anything label |
ed competition and as it was just getting
a new railroad it had open arms for new
gas company.
1t does not seem to have inquired very
critically into the character and antece-
dent of the promoters of the concern, nor
to have it stipulated in any way to secure
the continued competition they promised.
If the Reading councilmen had come
over to Lancaster we would have
given good character to the gentlemen of
the Consumers gas company, and have
declared them to be especially exempt from
that disposition to benevolent, ,philanthropic
and improbable competition with which
they were accused of brimming over. We
would have told how they had started a
gas company for Lancaster's benefit, and
bought out the rival company for their own,
and how, ever since, they have been making
us poor gas at a high price.
The Reading councilmen, perhaps, knew
all these things, but concluded that what
was good enough for Lancaster was good
enough for them. Our neighbors have a
high appreciation of our dignity ana wis,
dom, and are ready to humbly follow where
we lead. The old gas company in Read
ing, infected by this spirit, has dropped tC
h, % hn
speedily than did the old Lancaster ga
company. That corporation, composed o
some of the wealthieSt men in the place, wa
the laughing stock of the town when it cam,
down TO the Baumgardners rifle as sub
missively as the coon did TO Captain
Smiths; but the rich men in the Reading
= concern are away ahead in the speed o
their surrender. Our people waited unit
the new works were started and operated
the Reading folks tainted at the sight o
the first spadeful of earth thrown out fo
the new gasometerp pit.
Our people, scared as they were, sol,
out for cash; the Reading men in thei
with the Consumers guarantee O
dividend to the old consumed
s~Qpe of the hard-headed stockhold
efs Of the latter, and seemingly tn
only hard headed-one in the lot, has sue
out an injunction against the dickel
because he is not satisfied with the respons
bility Of the guarantee offered him for hi
dividends during the coming century
Mr. McIlvaine may well be dissatisfied
while there is no doubt that the Con
sumers will do a profitable business for
while in furnishing for big price sma
candle power illumination to til
good folks of Reading, there
no telling how long it will last
Mr. McIlvane is wise to wal
cash for his stock. And when he gets il
and the Consumers company has swa
lowed the old company to its tail, the goo
people of Reading will be able to calculat
upon their fingers what they have made b
the competition in gas supply they sought
for, and how much better off they ar
now and are likely to be in the future i
the hands of the foreign corporation int
which they have fallen.

A Licensed Oath.

The New York $40, is very amusing
sometimes, and generally when it does not
intend to be. Its force is not in its fun.
is in cordition of great miXedness. 1t
was forninst Cleveland's s election, but since
he has taken the trick the Stm is not so
much SO; and of Miss Cleveland it is such a
champion as to be almost named as her
organ. The Smt omits no opportunity to
sink at this lady feet, while it represses
with manifest difficulty disposition
to criticise her brother. Miss Cleve-
land has written book giving her
views of things generally, which
the Sm thinks are very wise. Mr.. Cleve-
lands latest offense is in exclaiming to a
visitor by the great Jehovah ;" which
the San thinks was shocking oath and
pretends to believe that Miss Cleveland S
brother never said it. We do not know
whether he did, and would not consider it
very bad if he had. Since General Jack
son swOre :" by the eternal" that form of
oath has become. of presidential quality,
and the people are never better pleased
than when they have an executive of the
"by the eternal" sort and Mr.. Cleve-
lands variation is on the words, not the
idea, and the Sun makes nothing by criti-
csing him for eXclaiming as Jackson did.
There are very many people who are
shocked by an oath who are yet shocking
ly bad people. From our observation we
are not sure that there are more wicked
people among the swearers than among the
rest of mankind. This does not make
swearing sensible and proper, but shows
that virtue does not necessarily abide
with politeness of tongue.

TEMPORARY INSANITY.
DIR. j. E. O'Neill Now in Custody at
BlackfOOt.

Several weeks ago DR.. j. E. O'Neill, OF
Milford, New Brunswick, arrived here for
the purpose of locating and practicing his
profession. He purchased the office of DR..
Laurin on East Granite street and settled
down to work Practice did not come as
was anticipated and the doctor became
morose and down-hearted and did not hes
itate to express his disgust at the situa-
ton. His words and actions caused his
friends some uneasiness, and they kept
something Of watch over him. 1t happens,
however, that his associates we're also the
friends of Sam. Caldwell, and were for sew
eral days on the prairie looking for that
unfortunate young man During their
absence the doctor made up his mind to 60
to Portland, Oregon, and put his plan into
execution by starting on the Sunday even
ing train. He purchased his ticket all right,
but failed to lock his office or take away
any of his effects: Upon the arrival of the
train at Pocatello he acted 50 strangely
that he attracted much attention, and az
d consequence was taken into custody by
the City Marshal and returned to Black
foot, to which point DR.. r. F. Clark was
summoned to attend him. DR.. Clark, as
sisted by two other physicians, made an
examination and decided that the patient
was suffering from an attack of temporary
insanity. The commissioners OF Blackfoot
took charge of the doctor and placed him
in the charge OF a competent nurse in one
of the hotels. The physicians hope for a
speedy recovery.

PRESENTATION.
Surprise Party to Mrs. Scott of the
Albemarle.

Thursday night Mrs. L.. j. Scott the we'll
known proprietress OF the Albemare House
was the recipient OF a genuine presentation
surprise. The ladies of the house had put
their heads together and decided the
hostess was entitled to some general rec
ignition for the accommodating spirit she
always exhibits as well as for the hand>
some manner in which she conducts her
well appointed establishment. The parlors
of Mrs. Morie were selected as headquarters
and the ladies, after securing a few male
allies concluded that the present should be
in the shape OF an easy chair which was
duly purchased. On the evening in ques.
ton about 1870 o'clock the conspirators
assembled and Mrs. Morie was deputed to
produce the victim. This she did. after
Mrs. Scott had protested that "she was
not dressed" but dress or no dress, she
was taken Into the presence OF the
assemblage, the size OF which surprised her
to say nothing OF the tasteful decoration Of
the room, and caused the natural exclama-
ton, what does this mean" l nresponse
Colonel Bradshaw who had been &C.
lected as spokesman said: 1--WE have assem-
bled here to ask you to reduce our rents"
Mrs. Scott replied: Ladies and gentle
men, you are all good tenants and I like
you all, but Icannot cut down the prices.
for | must keep the rooms neat and NICE"
Colonel Bradshaw then said: ave all ap-
p~reciate you and believe that you are the
best of landladies and properly estimate
your efforts to make US comfortable and
as an evidence OF our regard accept this
chair"
The chair is an elaborate patent base
rocking chair, upholstered in raw silk. Mrs.
Scott was really taken by surprise and said:
ut is many days since l have been so
pleasantly remembered by my friends. I
appreciate the gift more than l can tell"
Mr.. Hubbard and Nine. Aimee added a few
words OF congratulation to Mrs. Scott. and
after some time spent by the company in
pleasant and cordial conversation they
separated each feeling that Thanksgiving
had had a delightful closing.

ATTEMPT.
The Chinese Joss House Comes Very
Near Going UD in Smoke.

The residents of Chinatown Thursdau
morning reported to the police that an at
tempt had been made to burn their Joss
House on Galena street, and had come
very near being successful. There is a Chi
lamar who sleeps in the building, and not
being in the best of health, he had been
restless and uneasy during the entire night.
A little before daylight, being about half
asleep, he detected the smell of burning oil
and jumped out OF bed to ascertain the
cause Of the smoke. As soon as he reached
the door he saw a blaze running up the side
of the building from a pile of wood and
other truck. He raised a great hue and
cry, and soon a flock of his countrymen
rushed to the scene, soon extinguishing the
flames. The pile of burning stuff proved to
be some cast-off clothing saturated with
coal oil, with q lot OF wood placed over,
it, and it was proceeding to make a nice
little bonfire, to the great danger OF the
structure. The Chinese are considerably
excited over the occurrence, and seeing
that only a few days since a similar at
tempt was made in another portion Of
Chinatown, they fear that they will be
burned out one of these nights. They
asked for a policeman to guard their prem
ises, but the force is too small to spare
them a man, and City Marshal Stoner ad-
vised them to patrol the streets themselves
or hire a Waterman, and they will proba-
bly, adopt the latter course.
