is located on the corner of Jefferson
and Maple Streets at the northwest
corner of the court yard, fronting on
Maple street, and is 50x76 feet. On
the first floor are two fine store rooms,
the one on the east being occupied by
the post-oflice. The other room has
been recently vacated by Cabanis &
Marvel, who removed their business
to Iowa, and is now for rent. On the
front of the second floor are rooms oc-
cupied by Judge Clementson as an Of
flee, and by CLARK & Mills as law
office. They are as conveniently ar
ranged and as pleasant perhaps as any
in the state, and we think we can safely
add are as well supplied with books.
The firm of Clark & Mills is one of the
ablest and oldest in this section.
The building is warmed through

Above is picture of ''the old stone
shop" erected by Mr.. Banfield in the
early days of Lancaster. 1t is situated
IN the central part of the city. one door
north of the HERALD office and one
hundred yards north of the court house,
on Madison Street. ID. III. Budd manu-
featured wagons, buggies and sleighs
in this building from 1865 to 1874. II
is now occupied by Hurley, Dasch &
Hyde. This firm was started by John
MI. Hurley and Henry Dasch in Jan
uary, 1885. c. j. Hyde bought third
interest in the business in March, 1886,
at which time they purchased the stone
building of 6. M. Barber, and built q
wing on the north side 60x20, the main
stone building being 60x31. Mr..
Hurley has worked at wagon-making
since Jan, 1869. Mr.. Dasch has worked
at 5lacksnitbing since June, 1874. Mr..
Hyde, an old resident of Lancaster,
although not mechanic, has no super
Tor and few equals rs salesman. They
have now in their employ Louis Stippich,
MATHS Wisbaum and Allen Hyde, and
manufacture all kinds of vehicles from
a dog cart to barouche They also
handle tie best ready-made work in
the market. Their sales since Jan.
are about one hundred vehicles. They
also do horseshocing. from the fastest
runner or trotter to the heaviest draft
horse and make their own plates. One
of their specialties in jobbing is pillow
work for which they are noted. Parties
wanting anything in their line should
not pass "the old stone shop" by. So

This cut represents the California
Fruit Store, which is in itself the pio-
neer book, toy and confectionery es-
tablishment in our city, having been
first instituted by John Beg, who died
in 1879. 1t then became the property
of its present proprietor, III. P. Greene,
who few years after Beig's death re-
moved it from the corner now occupied
by John Phillips to its present location,
that from a business standpoint means
the ''head of navigation" 1t has al
ways had the reputation of keeping
such articles of merchandise as others
would not handle, and is the place to
look for al articles not found at other
stores on the Pacific coast. This en-
titles it to be called the "Last Chance"
However, it has always had a good
trade and will doubtless continue to
have under its present management
About a year ago it was thoroughly

commodation of DR.. J. w Odgers (now

ROBERT BRUCE RICKETTS,.
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTEN-
ANT.G GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA.

Just a little beyond the medium
weight and height; erect shoulders
broader than would seem to belong to
such a stature; well poised head;
bronzed face; broad, high brow; narrow,
firm jaws; keen gray eyes and a
bushy, iron grey moustache and goatee
such in general is an outline of the
appearance of Robert Bruce Ricketts,,
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor Of Pennsylvania. That he
is man of action, rather than words,
is written as plainly in his lineaments
and bearing as in his record. Like all
real soldiers he is companionable to a
degree, not snowy but entertaining,
his conversation embellshed by the re-
suits Of an experience rich in adven-
ture and memory remarkable in its
tenacity, rather than by an extensive
vocabulary or figures of speech.
His army record is most remark
able one From careful search of the
records it has been ascertained that he
was engaged in eighteen general bat
ties, with total Of fifty-six actual en-.
gagements, and was 131 times under
fire. Ricketts, battry was commended
by special published orders for valiant
conduct and important achievement
at Winchester, Second Bull Rul, Chan
tilly, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chan
cellorsville, Gettysburg, Bristoe Station,
Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania,
North Anna, Tolopotomy, Coal Har-
Dor, Petersburg and Deep Bottom. 1t
distinguished itself and all connected
with it at Gettysburg in assisting to
repel the grand Confederate charge on
the right of the Union lines, losing on
that day forty horses and twenty-seven
men. Colonel Ricketts, seemed to bear
charmed life, for while he was never
off duty for a day during his whole
term of service on account of sickness
or from any other cause, and while he
was all these times under fire. often
menanced by perfect hail of rebel
bullets and canister and shell, no one
of the missiles ever so much as harmed
a hair of his head.

What the Census Figures Show.

Between 1860 and 1870 it was the
one State of the Union that decreased
in population 1t fell off from 62S.-
600 in 1860, to 626,000 in 1870. 1t
increased to 64S.000 in 1880 with the
exception of Vermont by far the small
est percentage of increase in any State
OF the Union. The slowest moving
States of the u,h increased
in population IN ratio four or
five times greater than Maine.
In Agriculture it has also fallen be-
hind. In 1870 the value of the farms
of Maine was $l02, 900, and in
1850, $1O2, 2,357,O0O. There was an ,in-
crease in some products but a falling
off in others. No general increase.
The State stood still, agricullurally,
while others were forging ahead.
In manufactures, Maine is also fall
ing behind. In 1880 il had 4,4S1 fac.
tories IN the State and in 1870 it had
$3.50. 1t paid out in wages Sl9,600,-
600 in 1880, against Sl4,2S0,OOO IN
1870, and the value of products was
$40, 100000 in 1870 to S79;s29,0OO in
1880, Wages decrease and the value
of the work increases. That don't look
well, Mr.. Blaine.
While Maine is stationary or falling
behind in population, agriculture and
manufactures, illiteracy is on the in
crease, 1t had $4,000 inhabitants in
1870, over ten years of age, unable to
read, and $4,000 in 1850. 1t had 49,
600 in 1870 unable to write and 22,-
900 in 1880.
In the statistics of crime, insanity
and pauperism there is also an increase
in the number of criminals and unfor-
tunates, even with Il stationary or de-
creased population; and, think of 1t, a
prohibitory liquor law!
Mr.. Blaine should look at home be-
fore crilicising other sections of the
Union or the results of Democl attic rule
elsewhere. His state is a log upon the
tideless sea. 1t ia falling behind in
population, agriculture and manufac-
lures, or nj best stationary, while there
is an increase in the illitcratc, crimi-
nal, insane and pauper classes,-Pitts-

and these were drawn into our lines by
hand. These five guns Ricketts, after
wards took TO Centreville, and, by or
der of General Warren, turned them
over to army headquarters The fight
was hot, furious and decisive" IL
seems almost impossible that a man
could be in the thick of this kind OF
work for nearly four full years and
come through it all unscathed. Yet
that was Colonel Ricketts, good for
tune.
IN PRIVATE LIFE.
Colonel Ricketts, always enjoyed the
esteem of his men and the respect of
his superior officers. After the war
he was besought by Hancock aud
others to enter the regular service,
where proper and merited rank could
easily have been secured for him, but
he declined all these offers and return
ed 20 private life. He soon afterwards
made fortunate purchase and sale of
large tract of llnd IN Snyder county,
and since then has been almost wholly
engaged in getting together and car
ing for the North Mountain lands al
ready mentioned, into which three
different rairoads are now projected.
The North Mountain, in addition to
its wealth of timber and minerals, is
one of the highest accessible attitudes
and one OF the most delightful natural
retreats in the State, and is some day
destined TO prove an attractive resort
for seekers after the invigoratlng and
health giving Influences of mountain
air.
Colonel Ricketts, fitness for the posi-
ton for which he has been FAMED is
clear as is his deserving. He is man
of varied natural talents and of excel
+lent general business qualifications. lie
was member Of numerous, and presl-
dent Of several, courts-martial, which
hal the adjudication of important
cases, during the war, and has kept
himself conversant with the, general
trend of public matters at all times.
Like all true soldiers ne is sinaularly
modest, but he is a man of ideas and,
when occasion calls for it, is capable
of giving them vigorous expression.
Colonel Ricketts, standing in the
community in which he lives is of the
highest. His straightforward conduct
in all business transactions and his
kindly, courteous bearing socially have
made everybody his friend. He is
married and has family of three
children.
