WHY Is II Not Done |.

The directors of the Lancaster county
almshouse and insane asylum, who have
charge of the three large buildings which
accommodate these institutions and their
more than five hundred inmates, are guilty
of criminal negligence in not connecting
them with the fire alarm system of Lancas.
ter city.
Experience has t0ught that this property
is peculiarly exposed to the peril of fire
The barn on the premises has been burned
down three times. and once the hospital
was burned out. Any fire in the almshouse
OF hospital late at night would be accom-
panied with the risk Of great loss of human
life.
The management of these institutions is
dependent on the Lancaster city fire de-
partment for aid in case of fire, and yet i,
has done nothing to establish close and
prompt communication with the alarm
signal. The nearest box 10 the almshouSe
is at the corner of East King and Anu
streets, a half-mile distant.
A few poles and half-mile of wirt
would make the necessary connection and
provide location for an alarm box on thu
premises. Why is ii not done

The Need of Fire EscaDeS.

Three years ago the INTELLIGENCER
called attention TO the law of this state
requiring fire escapes in the case of many
buildings which are now not provided with
them. Owing to the careless manner in
which the statute is drawn there does not
seem to be any particular official in this
city charged with the duty Of looking after
this matter. 1t would be no great stretch
Of authority, however, for the chief engi-
neer 10 take it on himself. If he will scall
the law and then take II tour over the town
he will see many buildings without such
escapes as the law requires them to have.
1t seems, too, to he undetermined in many

Mr.. DORSEY is credited with expressing
the idea that speeches, parades and brass
bands do not count for much in political cam
paigns, when in most Of the large cities there
Is contingent whose votes are for sale on
election day, and who are numerous enough
to turn the scale on nearly every doubtful
state. For 81 head 1900 votes Of such
political pirates could have been got for
Blaine in New York city on election day ;
and they would have been secured, no doubt,
had it been known there would be such
pressing need for them. 1t is now an open
secret that the lack of $4,000 demanded of
the Hancock managers for the purchase of such
votes in 1850 was all that prevented his cleo
ton. With all the talk about the tariff, the
Mentor conference and other supposed causes
which influenced the issue of that great
struggle, it really turned on the votes of
10000 heelers and thieve in New York. The
same impudent and wicked class is growing
up in every city. Lancaster has its share of
them, and until decent citizens rise up, re.
gardless of party, and stamp them out, they
will be rampered and bought by the poll
ticians and allowed to be the determining
element of our politics.

plurality, but as he failed TO get majority

One Hundred HOrsemen Take a

 Citizens and Execute Two CoIored

 NEW ORLEANS, July 22.-A special to the Times-Democrat from Minden, La., says: At il o'clock last night people who had not re- tired were startled by the appearance on the streets of one hundred horsemen, score of gers in this section. Every citizen in the streets was arrested and guards placed over every residence with orders to arrest everyone emerging therefrom. The party then went to the residence of the sheriff, who was not home. MT. Stewart, one of his deputies, was found and the mob put him on 8 horse and made him accompany them. Arriving at the jail it's custodian was ordered to sur render his keys. He refused and dozen pistols were thrust in his face and he was told to hand them over or they would be taken from his dead body. Securing the keys the party entered the jail, but found that the keys to the cells were in the possession of the absent sheriff. It now became known they were after John Figures and Cicero Green, both colored. Figures six months ago brutally murdered white youth for a sum of money and Green had waylaid and attempted to assassinate prominent farmer. The cell locks resisting all attempts at fore ing the mob made the other prisoners in the cell hold Figures and Green up to the bars and their bodies were riddled with bullets. The citizens of the town were then released and the horsemen rode away. Moses Ford, editor of the Democrat Tribune, was discev- cred by the party early in the evening out side of the town and was carried to the woods and tied to tree where he remained until after the work was done

A Sensation at Brighton Beach.

was created this morning among the racing people when it became known that George H. Engeman, William A. Engeman and A. H. Battersby proprietors and managers of the Brighton Beach track had been indicted by the grand jury for violation of the law in selling pools on the races at Brighton Beach. They were brought to the district attorneys office and admitted to bail in S1,000 each. It is said that more indictments will follow. The indictments did not interfere with the selling of pools at the track to-day.
