LANCASTER, PA. February "a, 1890.


Our contemporary, the New Era, after
. week or two of meditation and consul
tation, has reached the conclusion that
Il is its duty to open its columns to
take part In the differences" which II
says have risen in st. James parish on
account Of the selection by part
of the vestry of pastor whom the
mass Of the congregation believe
b united for the post as stated some
time ago by communication published
In this Journal. The New Era thinks
that we did very wrong to allow this
statement to appear In onr columns
about 1.-THE internal affairs of church
government which" should be held as
sacred In the estimation of the press as
the affairs of the family, into whose dis
sensions the public journal has no
shadow Of right to interfere, unless those
dissensions culminate in a public breach
ofthe peace or become matter of judicial
inquiry"
It seems to US that this IL strange doc
trine to be proclaimed by Il journal that
proceeds promptly TO discuss the trouble
in St. James parish and take sides
therein. We believe that there has been
no breach of the peace or judicial inquiry
In this case, such as would warrant our
contemporary's treatment Of 1t, upon its
own doctrine of the proprieties of the
case.
The simple fact seems to be that there
are but nine Of the twelve members OF
the st. James vestry in Office; and that
five of this nine selected a rector who Is
though In but few weeks the annual
election would have made the vestry
full. If these five vestrymen took ad-
vantage oft the temporary power, which
their minority Of the full board had to
impose an undesired rector upon the
congregation, 1t would seem to be mat
ter Of such public interest as to legiti.
mately attract attention and comment
in the press; and the NeU Era has
our permission to wade into the contro.
vcrsies If 1t desires to do so, even though
1t manages, rs usual, to steer clear of
facts and fairness In its statements and
conclusions.
1t Is matter chiefly for the voters OF
st. James church. II they like the con.
duct Of their five vestrymen and choose
to take and keep the rector that has
been put upon them, no one else need
BE- much bothered about it. The youth
OF the young man, we quite agree with
our contemporary, is not crime nor a
necessary disparagement.T The important
defect charged against him is not lack OF
years but of ideas and that this is u
true bill we can clearly testify, upon the
evidence of his trial sermon.

The AstOr Heir.

The great fortune of the late John
Jacob Astor will probably go in mass
to his son, William Waldorf Astor, who
Is chiefly distinguished as the author of
novel that is poor both in literary
quality and in moral tone. President
Arthur made him minister to Italy and.
as wealth seems to be the great
condition for success in positions
OF that sort, he made himself
reasonably successful. 1t may be hoped
that the responsibility of his great
wealth will discourage Mr.. Astor from
further literary venture, and as he has
the reputation Of working with nervous
energy and determination at anything
he undertakes ii is possible that under
him the Astor money may be more dar-
ingly used for the pushing of great en-
terprises. With all his caution the
great original John Jacob had an ad-
venturous spirit which encouraged him
10 rivalry with the great Hudson
Bay Fur company, and led him
to buy government bonds during
the war of 1912. The Astors of
our day have shown too little of this
patriotic enterprise, and while they have
gained In wealth have been lost TO
popular notice.

Of the canal boat A. Chandler, lying at the
foot Of West Sixtieth street, New York,

years old, the son Of the captain, Patrick
Daily, was burned to death, and Captain
Daily, his wife Ellen and two other chill
dren were 40 severely burned that thoy
had 10 be taken IN the hospital. An astral
oil lamp was suspended from the centre of
the cabin, and about half an hour before
midnight this exploded, scattering the
burning all over the sleeping inmates and
setting the cabin on fire.
Mrs. Daily screamed and then picked up
two of her children and pushed them
through the window to tho deck of the
canal boat Pratt, which came alongside to
render assistance. Two other boys were
saved in the same manner. Captain Daily
was awakened just IN time TO save his
life.
In the excitement Mrs. Daily forgot all
about her youngest boy, Dennis. She
heroically rushed back and found him in
his bunk, and when she carried him on the
deck he was still alive. but almost burned
to a crisp, Several canal boatinen put out
the fire, and notified the Roosevelt hospital
authorities. The boy Dennis died few
hours afterward. The other two boys are
badly burned, and two girls were also in

suicide of "a Bank Cashier.


VIM. Rushton, until very recently as
sistant cashier of tho Farmers and Me-
ehancs' National bank, shot himself dead
In Philadelphia on Saturday night in the
house Of Nellie Beach, at 405 North Twelfth
street. He had previously shown synp-
toms of insanity. The inmates of the
house told the police that the man, who
was perfect stranger to them, came there
about noon on Saturday. Young girl
named Nettie Thorn engaged the man in
conversation. He went upstairs, saving he
was going TO remain all night. lie said
That all he wanted was plenty of sieep
lie retired, and was called at $50, and then
went asleep again. At 1890 Nettie Thorn
heard several shots fired in rapid success

himself, and fearing TO enter the room, she
ran out and around To the station house.
Two of the bullets he had fired ploughed
up the wall in two places But forty-iiye
cents was found in his pockets His watch,
though handsome one, had no chain at

drinking, as two bottles partly filled with
whisky were found in the room.
a few weeks ago Rushton resigned his
position as assistant cashier of the Farmers
ana Mechanics bank, with which institu-
ton he had been connected for some time.
Rumors were rife AT the time that there
was something behind the retirement, but
inquiries at the bank ELECTED the informa-
.ioh thal the retirement was voluntary
one.
IL has since been learned that the busi-
ness under Mr.. Rushton's direct super-
vision was not receiving the attention
necessary, and the bank officials, it was
said, learning of Mr. Rushton's conviyial
habits, limited that his resignation would
be accepted. Rushton would say nothing
AS to his leaving the banks service, nor
would the officials further than To saw that
the resignation was induced by continued

connection with the bank has proved upon

condition the continued use of alcoholic

George Sparks, young man from Kittey
township, near Ottawa, Ont, became en-
gagged to the youngest daughter of Charles
Smith, of fWhitehurston, after brief court
ship. The day was set, the clothes were
bought, likewise the ring, when 1t suddenly
occurred to the trusting couple that it might
be as well TO tell tho young ladv's old folks.
This the lovesick swain did after the most
approved fashion, but great was his CON

declared that the ceremony could not take

ranged.
He said his eldest daughter must be wed
first, his second next, and so on, and that
IL the young man was anxious to join his
family circle he could marry his eldest
daughter, but under no consideration would
he allow his third daughter To go while the
other two remained. Tho young man,
after some thought, signiiied his willing
ness to the change of brides, the bride OK

Cardinal Gibbons began on Sunday at

sermons. His subject was Penance," and
IN the course OF his remarks said There
are now 1000, 600 negroes in the United
states, and the negro question has become
"a serious problem Ia the American people.
The best solution of this problem, in my
judgment, will be found in ChristianIzing
the negroes. In some sections of the eoun9
Try, II reports are true, their religion has
degenerated into a kind of fetichism, and
Is entirely emotional, devoid of all religious
restraints aud obligations. The negro race
are naturally religious people. They are

ONE of those mysterious English syndi-
Gates that are prowling around buying up
great industries nowadays Is said TO bo
negotiating for the purchase of all the
cotton duck mills of the country. The
Wool Repo' ter says that options have been
given for the mills which will expire I'm
the middle of March.
"The intent of tho purchasers is, II is
said, to concentrate the business, and util.
ize the several mills each for different
and separate branch of manufacturing,
no small task. There are II or more duck
factories, in which some si,500,00o is in
vested, and still greater sum must be ex
pended by the syndicate to obtain the
monopoly"
This syndicate scheme, unlike many OF
the British kind, aims at monopoly and
needs watching.

THE Philadelphia Ledgcr calls attention
to the fact that the Chicago, Milwaukee a.
st. Paul Railroad company has been heat
ing its cars by steam for some time, and
has added electric lighting. can extra ear
or consort Is attached to the tender of the
engine. This contains IA marine boiler to
furnish steam for heating and also for run
ming an engine and dynamo to supply the
electric lights. A storage battery is also
provided to be used in case of accident to
the dynamo or engine, but thus far the
battery has not been required. The boiler
OF the consort is 50 constructed that if over
turned the water would be turned into the
fire to eNtinguish il, and, besides that, the
car Is lined with steel inside and outside"
II is natural that a road in that cold country
should solve the heating problem long be-
fore the railroads of this section have made
a single stagger at ii, but the Pennsylvania
railroad can no longer pretend to lead all
others if it does not quickly undertake to
furnish better light, and safe and comfort
able heating. The cost of the improved
system seems to be the real block to pro-
giess in this respect and many of our roads
are badly in need of healthy competition to
drive them To consider the comfort and
safety OF their patrons.

THE Canadian Parliament has been con-
sidering and has just rejected measure of
very grave Importance, the bill TO abolish
the official use of the French language In
Canada. Premier Sir John Macdonald
made vehement and very eloquent speech
in The Commons chamber on Thursday,
urging tho members to dispose of this
question "now and forever SO that no such
complications as are at present threatening
10 sap the life e-hlood of our young country
would again arise to thwart the country's
growth and progress" This is certainly
strong language, but seems warranted by
the excitement of the French Canadians
over the proposed change. Sir John con-
tinuing begged his hearers "to think of the
awful consequences should this cry which
raises race against race, creed against creed.
and language against; language be con-
tinued. 1t will ruin the prosperity of our
country. Ii will ruin our credit at homo
and abroad. 1t will destroy our credit In
England" And all of this, he said, was to
be risked because "a few fanatics are opposed
to carrying out the solemn covenant with
the French, who are now n proud and
happy portion of the Dominion. This
speech was enthusiastically received and
All amendment declaring for the French
language was adopted by the otes of three
