An Ovation to a lhurderess.

Is it crime in this country for a pret.
ty woman to kill a.man7 theoretically,
Il is, but practically it is not. Take the
case of Mrs. Ransier, ct Syracuse, n.
Y. She was married woman with
children. In moment OF excitement
She shot and killed man named Sntter.
The woman's story was that she was try
ing TO; break off her intimacy with Sutter,
and that she had begged him with tears
10 her eyes toilet her alone. He followed
her one night and taunted her. 'stnng to
madness she turned and killed him.
When this story was told to a tender
hearted jury, and the lawyer for the
defense grew eloquent over it, there was
but one thing to be expected. The Jury
brought in verdict Of acquittal. Had
the matter rested there it would perhaps
have been we'll enough. But the town
RaYe the fair murderess an ovation. Five
hundred men and women congratulated
beir.. the men shaking her hand and
cheering, and wealthy ladies who never
saw her before hugging and kissing her.

The Meaning OF the Election.

Prof a: i. Perry, Of Williams College,
writes "ringing letter" to The Million,
the free.trade weekly newspaper, pub.
lished at Des Moines, Iowa., on "The
Meaning of the Election" The meaning
of the election, according to Prof Perry,
is that "politically the Republican party
is as dead as Cesar" Its condition is
like that of the. Wing party in 1852.
Although it cast more votes than ever
before in its history, as the Wing party
did in 1852, yet it has sinned against the
nation beyond hope of forgiveness. 1t
has. .sipned chiefly by maintaining war
taxes in time of peace to protect the
rich at the expense of the poor. 1t has
allied itself to all the great monopolies
and monopolists,. and published the
alliance to the worldaat the millionaire
banquet at Delmonico's just before the
election. 1t tried to. steal the election
after the votes had been cast, and, failing
in this, the party turned with fury upon
the victors and sought to punish them
for voting for Cleveland. 'tThey died
very hard, and accordingly they died
very dead. The whole country observed
their unreasonable contortions, and made
a careful note of the death rattle too
long deferred" Their candidate for the
Presidency, after courting the votes OF
the Southern States with honeyed words,
then turned furiously against them after
the election eend sought to stir up the
sectional strife which he had previously
said was dead and buried. Whatever
needed to be:done before the election to
detach from the party the floating vote,
without which it would have been defeat
ed in most of the Northern States, has
been done since the. election, and done
thoroughly. It only remains for the
Democratic party Professor Perry thinks,
TO take up the question of revenue reform,
knock off the duties on raw materials,
and reduce 'correspondingly the duties
Of manufactured products, in order to
open the door to profitable foreign COM
merce and secure to itself long career

A Very Strange Story.

Robert Haskins, ,lhis wife and one son
lived near the line of Shelby County, this
State, January, 1852, says the Louisville
telegram. His farm consisted of seven
ty-ive acres. In June of that year Has.
kins enlisted in the Confederate service,
under Capt. Ed. Bell. The result was
that in that immediate vicinity there was
a colony of husbandless wives and faith
erless children. a rowing band of thieves
organized and began depredations in that
section. Mrs. Haskins, becoming alarm.
ed, removed to Estill County, where her
cousin lived. Her nearest friends being
wives of Federal soldiers, she did not
confde her purpose to them, but wrote
short letter to her husband, telling him
her reason for going, her destination, &c,
and intrusted it to the care of one John
Bremen, who was home on furlough at
that time, and who was member of the
same company as Haskins and lived in
the same part of the County. Bremen
was made prisoner before he. reached:
camp, and was kept inprisou over a year,
and the letter, OF. course, was never de-
:livered.;
When Haskins came home to visit his
wife in February, 1868, he found his
house deserted, and no one could tell
him of the whereabouts of his beloved
helpmeet and his little boy. He made
every possible inquiry for her, but finally
gave upin despair and returned to the
army heart broken man. At the close
of the war Haskins wandered aimlessly
about for nearly two years, and finally
settled down to keeping "a small grocery
storesin Pleasant Efill, Mo-, aud there he
stayed until about two weeks ago, when
he decided to visit "Old Kentucky once
more. After spending some days with
relatives and old comrades-at.arms in
other parts Of the State, he landed last
Saturday in the vicinity of his residence
in 1862, and yesterday evening he met j.
Bremen, who has been living in the edge
of Shelby County. since 1867. Bremen,
in talking over Gold times. remembered
about the letter given. him by Mrs! Has.
kins, and, strange 10 say, had preserved
it, and after searching for some time
among some old papers, found it, and
delivered it to the elumbfounded Haskins,
after having3it in his possession; twenty.
two years. s = -eeie..' Ezs.s,ss
Mr. Haskins was in Frankfort Monday
morning on his way to Estill County in
search Of his wife and son. He stated
that he was dangerously wounded at the
battle of Fort Pillow, Tenn, in April,
1864, and all his friends, Bremen among
the rest, thought that he was killed, and
says that is the reason Bremen made no
effort to see Mrs. Haskins or himself.
He feels almost sure that he will find his
son alive and well, though he doubts very
much whether his wife is still living. He
looks to be about ffty-6ve years old, and
his hair and beard nre almost white. He
showed friend the letter written in 1862,
which was motheaten and scarcely legi-
BILE, some words being entirely gone. He
says he did not know that his wife had q
cousin in Estill County, and of course
never thought of looking for her there.
His is a strange case, and one hard to
believe, but he SAYS every word of the
above is gospel truth.

LANCASTER, JANUARY 81, 1856
The Supply of Gas.

The Philadelphia gas trust is promising
a reduction of the price to consumers to
dollar and half per thousand feet. The
price is now one dollar and seventy cents
not long ago it was one ninety. These re-
ductions are made notwithstanding the gas
is supplied to the city without charge ; and
this is matter Of a hundred and fifty thouS-
and dollars. The city has li,0o0 public
lamps, which cost her nothing. The citi-
zens pay for the gas burned in them and
still have cheap gas for themselves.
The Philadelphia system is certainly the
best one where reasonably honest
management can be secured. The
supplies for the people which need
TO be carried in underground con
duits, should be entirely under munich
pal control; because there should he but one
set Of conduits, and no private individuals
should be given the control of such mon-
opoly. Water should be provided by the
city. So should light and heat, if they are
to be served through pipes. The profit of
the service should be the peoples They
should have these necesSarieS of life as
cheaply as they can be furnished If
they let the officers in charge ot
them cheat them, il is their fault and
when they get tired of it they can put them
out, But when they give company Of
individuals the right to occupy their streets
and supply their water and light. they are
not only sure to he swindled, but they are
sure Of continuing To be. even after they
are tired of the fun, since they cannot fire
out at pleasure the fellows who are sitting
on them.
The Philadelphia gas trust q few years
ago was cheating the people sadly. They
put the thieves out and now are rewarded
with cheap gas. Their works can make
profit enough at 81 so or 81 copper thousand
feet TO light the public lamps make large
renewals of pipes and enlargement Of Gacili-
ties, besides aecumulating "a handsome
surplus and paving off annually slice Of
the debt.
If this can be done in Philadelphia it can
be done in Lancaster Gas can be
furnished here cheaper than there. The
first cost of the plant to make it viii be
much lower. and the interest charge
would be trihing. The waste from
new pipes would he small.
The city could put plant here to supply
gas made from coal, which is So much sll-
perior TO water gas, and could readily pay
the interest and cost on the investment,
and have free gas for lighting the streets,
at charge not exceeding 81 p per thou
sand and probably at 81. As we have before
said the charge for the gas at West Point
is but seventy-live cents per thousand, and
at this price the officer in charge has a
surplus at the end of the year after paying
all expenses Of manufacture and repairs.
and even for the chandeliers hung in the
officers quarters.

The Proper Thing,

Representative Ermentrout and senator
Cameron have been comforting with view
To arranging for the formal presentation to
the United States of the statues of Robert
Fulton and Peter Muhlenberg, placed in
the capitol gallery of the United States by
Pennsylvania, the work of her artists and
the contribution of this commonwealth
AS pointed out by the lNTELLtGENCER
long ago, this is very proper thing to be
done and in Mr.. Ermentrout's hands it is
quite certain it will he duly attended To.
Mr.. Ermentrout, we believe. was a mem
Der of the commission which selected the
subjects and assigned them to the sculp-
tors SO was senator Cameron's father.
These two representatives, in different
branches of the Federal legislature. stand
for the two great strains of Pennsyl-
vania citizenship. which it was intended
should be represented by Muhlenberg, the
PENNSYLVANIA German, and Fulton, of the
so-called SCotCh-IriSh stock. The speeches
of presentation could he appropriately made
an occasion to vindicate the selection of
subjects: the works themselves confirm
the wise choice of artists
Besides, it has been denied that Cameron
can make a speech. He can do himself
proud by a eulogy of Fulton ; and he owes
it to Fulton's native county. which has
just given him the support of solid delpga-
ton
