COL. INGERsOLL ON INTHMPERANCE.
Extract From a Speech He Made Before q
Jury 10 an important Case.

Jury 10 an Important Ease.
Colonel Robert Ingersol, lately en-
ployed in case, which involved the
manufacture of ardent spirits, and in
his speech to the jury he used the fol-
lowing language:
ST am aware there is great preju-
dice against any man engaged in the
manufacture of alcohol. L believe
from the time it issues from the coiled
poisonous worm in the distillery until
it empties into the hell of death, dis
honor and crime, that it is demoraliz.
ing to everyone that touches it, from its
source to where it ends. 1 do not be-
lieve that anyone can comprehend the
subject without being prejudiced
against the crimes. All we have to do
is think of the wrecks on either side of
the stream of death, of suicides, of the
insanity, of the poverty, of the destruc-
ton, of the little children tagging at
the breasts of weeping and despairing
wives asking for bread, of the men of
genius it has wrecked, of the struggling
with imaginary serpents produced by
the devilish thing; and when you think
of the jails, of the almhouses, of the
asylums, of the prisons and of the scat
folds on either side, do not wonder
that every thoughtful man is preju-
diced against the vile stuff called alco-
hol. Intemperance cuts down youth
IN its vigor, mankind in its strength
and age in its weakness. It breaks the
fathers heart, bereaves the doting
mother, extinguishes the natural af-
fection, erases coniugal love, blots out
filial attachment, blights parental hope,
and brings premature age in sorrow to
the grave. 1t produces weakness, not
strength; sickness not health, death
not life. 1t feeds rheumatism nurses
gout, welcomes epidemics, embraces
consumption, invites cholera, imports
pestilence, covers the land with misery,
idleness and crime. 1t engenders con-
troversies, fosters quarrels, cherishes
riots. 1t crowds your penitentiaries
and furnishes victims for the scaffold.
1t is the blood of the gambler, and ele
ment of the burglar, the prop of the
highwayman and the support of the
midnight incendiary. 1t countenances
the liar, respects the thief, esteems the
blasphemer. 1t violates obligations
reverences fraud, hates love, scorni
innocence and virtue. 1t incites the
} father to take the life of the helpless
offspring, and the children to grind tn
paricidal axe. 1t burns up men, con
! sumes women, detests life, curses Coo
and despises heaven. It surborns wit
nesses, nurses purfidy, defiles the jur,
, box and stains the judicial ermine. 1
; bribes voters, disqualifes votes, cor
rupts elections and endangers the gov
ernment. 1t degrades the citizens
debases the legislature, dishonors th
statesman and patriot. 1t bring
shame, not honor; terror, not safety
! despair, not hope; misery, not happ
!. ness; and with the malevolence of
fiend calmly surveys its frightful desc
lation, and unstained with havoc,
wipes out national honor, curses I'll
world and laughs at it's ruin. It doe
more-it murders the soul. 1t is th
!. sum of all villIanies, the father of a
:. crimes, the mother of abominatiol
r the DEVILS best friend and Gods wori
f. enemy"

CHASE OF HORSE THIEF FATAL
Excitement over Threatened Lynchine
Causes Death of Constable.

York, Pa, Jan. 31.-Andrew ]. He'd
rick, an aged constable, of Stewards
town, this county, died suddenly under
the excitement incident to a chase af-
ter a horse thief, and lynching of the
thief was only averted by the protec-
ton afforded him by the authorities of
Newmarket, Nd, where the man was
captured.
Residents of Stewartstown and vi
cinity have been aroused for some
time by the frequency of horse thefts
in that section. When horse was
stolen from in front of business
house in the center of the town a
mounted vigilance committee was has
tily formed, with the constable at its
head, and the thief pursued. When the
committee arrived at Newmarket the
horse thief was in the custody of the
Maryland authorities. The committee
demanded the man, but the officials
Of Maryland refused to give him up.
1t had been planned by the Stewards
town people to make an example of the
next horse thief by resorting. to lynch
law. At Newmarket 100 people clam
ored wildly outside of the lookup for
the prisoner. 1t was at this time that
the constable was stricken, and he
died in a short time. Instead of re
turning to Stewartstown with the pris
oner, the committee took back the
corpse of the towns constable.
