A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Well Know n Morcliaut nr latennatrr
- t'onnly Sela a Weapon for Borglana
and It Slays HiniseK.
The Lancaster Intelligencer says : The
people living in the neighborhood of Drumore Centre are terribly excited over a
latal shootin-/ accident, wbioh occurred in
that place. Drumore Centie is a little
village with bat a couple of houses, in
Drumore towuship, not far from Chestnut
Level aud a few miles below Buek. There
is a post offlee at the place also and it is.
known as Hubers. It took ito name from
Benjamin II. Huber, tbe postmaster, and
that gentleman is tbe one who lost hia Ufe.
Mr. Huber bad been keeping a store-at
that place for at least twenty years. Some
time ago his store was broken open by
thieves wh carried off a considerable
quantity of goods. Mr. Hater concluded
tbat be would make it tery dangerous for
tbe man wbo would again toy the game,
so te put up a trap gua, whieh was so arranged that it wonld shoot any one who
might attempt to enter the store in a certain way. Mr. Huber lives close' to the
store, and between nine and ten o'clock on
Monday evening bis son went home, leaving the father in the store. .The latter did
not come home all night, so at an eat ly
hour next morning tbe sou went in search
of bim. He fonnd him lying in the store
dead. In bis body was a load of sbot
which came Irom tbe terrible trap gun that
bad been set to catch some one t-Ise. The
exact particulars of tbe way in whioh the
mau lost bia life are uot known here as
yet.
Mr. Huber was probably 50 years of age
and Was ona ot the best known men in the
lower end of the county. He waa ooe of
tbe most prominent country merchants
Although a Democrat in politics, Mr.
Huber was postmaster ever since tbe office
waa established. He was a prominent
member of Washington Lodge of Masons,
wbich meets ia tbe ball over bis store, and
he bad held numerous offices in tbe lodge.
He leaves a wito and three sons.
Sinoe the above was written some additional particulars have been learned. The
gnu by wbioh Mr. Huber lost his life did
aot contain shot, bnt a ball. It passed
into the man's side and entered ini heart,
through wbich it passed, ft is oertain
that he died instantly. Wben found-the
gun was lying alongside of him.
Bold Express Robbery.
Mkadvillb, Nov. 3.—Une of the boldest robberies' perpetrated ia this city for
mauy years oocurred at 10:30 on Saturday
evening at the office ot the Wells-Fargo
Express.
Tbe agent, C. P. More, was alone in
the office, wbioh ia situated tbe width of
the street from tbe New Fork, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio Passenger Depot and in a
locality where scores of people are continually passing. He was counting the
contents of hia oash drawer, preparatory
to balancing bis cash account, when a rap
ou the door drew bis attention. He placed the money in the drawer, stepped outside of tte office railing, opened tte door
aud admitted two strangers. Upon entering they bade him -good evening, when
oue leveled a revolver at his head and cautioned him not to move or make an outcry on pain of instant death. He was
then bound and gagged and laid upon the
teas.
BIFLBD TBE SAFE.
The robbers then proceeded to open the
large safe whieh was unlocked, and tore
open and appropriated the money packages valued at from &>000 to $15,000, after
wbicb they made tbeir es-jape. Mr. Moore
was so securely tied tbat it was fully an
bate after they had left before he was
li' er. ted and made an o.itciy for aegis tunc.
He describes bis assailants as foi I ons :
One large, middle-age i man, wearin-** a
flawing beard, evidently false, and tbe
other a yonng sandy-rvmplexioned man,
about 20 years old. Fortunately tai* the
company, tha money the agent was count-
tog whea be was interrupted in bis work,
amouuting to several hundred dol lara, was
untouched hg the robbers. When tbe
safe had been ransacked the jobbers
searched Mr. M .ore, but evidently weie
disgusted with tbe value of his watch ail
the contents of bia wallet, f.>r ttey returned the same to bim with the remark tli.it
tbey could do better.
Tbe police aro now rearcbing the city
for tbe perpetrators of the outrage, but
thus far bave not been able to discover the
slightest clue.

Washingtok, Star. 7,1890.
Tbe great tidal wave of Democratic suo-
oess that swept over the country Tuesday
brought mora real rejoicing to Washing
ton' tban anything whioh has occurred
siuce tbe election of Cleveland aud Hendricks "In 1884. Democratic faces are
overspread with smiles, and wbo has a
better right to smile, while the Republicans, who are frightened clean out of their
boots, go around with woe-begone faces,
and make no attempt to explain the condemnation whicb the voters of ths country bave placed upon the administration
and upon the Republican majority iu Congress for its action in giving the people a
batch ef the moat unpopular laws ever
turned out at a single session of Congress,
topped off with the worst of all, tte Mo
Kinley tariff law, tbe weight of which
has been felt by everybody, although it is
only a month since it became a law.
The Democrats, as ttey had every reason to do, expected to carry tbe House of
Representatives by a good working majority tet they were hardly prepared to see tbe
purty win suoh an unprecedented victory
in every section of the country, electing
more than two-thirds of the House and
carrying Republican strongholds like Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, and
Wisconsin. If ever there was good reason
for holding a Democratic jubilee it certainly exists now, aod it is not strange
that tbe Democrats here are in the wildest
state ol enthusiasm.
The returns proved to be too muoh for
Mr. J. S. Clarksou, the gentleman, who
took hold of the Republican Congressional Committee, with the announcement
that he would win the tight, and he has
gone South, to recuperate bis shattered
nerves. He also wished to escape the impertinent questions of those te persuaded
to contribute codsiderable sums of money
whieh was to purchase certain victory.
Mr. Clarksou was also anxious to avoid an
interview with Mr. Beujamin Harrison
until taat gentleman has time to smooth
his very" much ruffled. Clarkson is responsible for much of Ihe suffering Mr.
Harrison is undergoing now. Last summer Mr. Harrison, tike a mau of sense,
bad made up hia mind tbat the Democrats
would control the next House, and ab
though deeply regretting tbe outlook, te
had ceased to worry, to aay extent over it.
Then Clarksou came along and w ith rainbow stories convinced the. old genileman
that the Republicans were boond tn win
in the Congressional elections aod that it
would be a great scheme to bave the idea
passed along the Republican lines that
this election was to be national, and a vindication of Mr. Harrison and the administration. It was done, and that's why the
heart of Mr. Harrison is heavy.
He realizes thst Clarkson got him Into
a ligbt that he might just as weil bave
kept ont ot, and that the people have
jumped on bim and his party with tteir
heaviest shod feet, and he would like to
talk to Clarkson aboat it. He has a suspicion that Clarkson knowingly got him
into this scrape for the purpose of having
him knocked out,so as to help the Presidential aspiration of Gen. Alger, to whom
Clarksou is pledged.
Mr. Wanamaker was asked what he
thought of tbe result, but te declined to
talk, further, than to say that he knew
nothing about polities. No news in that
Millionaire Carnegie, who is here looking after some of his fat contracts with
tbe Navy department, says in an interview
tbat be regards tbe results of tbe election
as tbe salvation of tbe Repulicau party,
and tbat be is glad of it. Mr. Carnegie
is probably the largest individual bene
ficiary under tbe McKinley tariff law ia
the country, and necessarily a republican
and it is the passage of that law and the
results of the election that have become
mixed iu his miud, wben he Hays be in glad
of it. As to salvation, if the "G. O. P."
gets a few more doses of tbe same kind as
that administered laat Tuesday, it will
ueeai the services of au undertaker.
Secretary Noble aud Attorney General
Miller want to be provided tor before tte
general break up, whieh they see ahead,
and are botb bringing all the pressure tbey
oan command to bear on the man in the
White House, for the parpose of securing
the vaeaut place on the bench of tbe Sup
renie Conrt.
The Democrats are foxtuuate in hiving
so much good material at hand to select
the nest Speaker of tte House from.
Among the names already mentioned are
Messrs. Mills, Crisp, McMillan, Brecken-
ridge, (Ky.) Bynum aud Springer. Very
few members of Congress are now In tbis
oity, but somehow tbe idea seems general
that tbe speakership will go to tte South.
In that event it is almost certain that it
willbe one of the first fonr gentlemen
above mentioned.
Cbairman Brice and Flower are meeting
with praise on every band for the able
manner in whioh they managed the cam.
paigu, and left the republicans under the
impression that they were doing little or
nothing.
The republicans who went home to rote
returned mostly at night, to escape the
jeers of th. ir friends.

Now Tobk, Nov. 10,1890.
A large and distinguished delegation of
Irish leaders arrived in this eity last week
and are preparing to make a tour of the
country to tbe interest of Ireland and
Home Rule. They have eome to address
the American people as tte represents
tives of the Irish people, and explain tbe
thoughts aud aspirations of the latter in
tbeir struggle with tbe Tory government.
Tbe funds which tbey hope to collect in
tbis country are not, as might be supposed, to relieve the impending Irish famine,
but may be used tor that purpose if found
necessary. The delegation has received a
hearty welcome from our eitizens and win
be given •_. grand publio reception at the
Metropolitan Opera House to night. From
here they will proceed to Boston, Chicago,
St. Louis, and otber .large cities, after
which ttey will separate and speak in

aud Dillon, who escaped from Ireland
during their trial' tor intimidation, together With Sullivan, Harrington, O'Connor aud Gi'l, all members of Parliament.

has been traveling with Buffalo Bill's Wild
West show for several years and, having
made a snug sum of money, has concluded
to retire. He «ill not start a sbow ol his
own, but will probably embark in some
otber business. He says tbat tbe stories
about tbe il 1-treatment of the Indians by
Buffalo Bill are false. The Indians will
soon arrive bere and will be sent home to
their reservations. Tbe Wild West show

LIGHTING.  VP AFRICA.
Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, haa ar.
l ived and is renewing his old acqaintances
besides preparing for a lecture tour of the
oountry. lie bas made a very toll reply
to the charges against him corceruing the
the deatb of bia lieuteuaut, M ■ j-ir Bartte-
lait, and claims the latter met his' tote deservedly. He accuses Barttelot of atrocious
cruelty, aad Ite etter officers of tbe rear
guard, be says, were selfish, irresoluteand
coward y. Many men, under Barttelot,
weie 11 < >i{ged to death, and over a hundred
died ol starvation iu one place when tbey
might have b«en saved. Barttelot was of
a moat violent temper, and was shot dead
by a native chief whose wife he w^a beating and kicking for disobedience. Stauley
says that half the horrible truth has not
been told, and tbat he bas sufficient evi-
ideuco to vindicate himself in a legal suit.
With charges and counter-charges like
these we may well a*-k, do tbe natives of
Africa really need suoh "civilization"?!

Pattison Elected Governor
of   Pennsylvania  by
17,3^2 Majority.
He is a Sure Winner!
$ Never was Defeated!
THE DElMMItJRATIC BROOM SWEPT
VERY CLEAN.
A DEMOCRATIC TEAL WAVE SWEEPS OVER THE UNION!
The election is over and tiie Democrats have
been very successful. Nob only in Penn'a. but all
over the United States. Lebanon County did her
ftdl share towards the election of PATTISON,
making a gain of over 700 on the vote of '86. The
farmers and the workingmen did it. They made up
their minds that they weren't going to be fooled .any
longer by Republican promises. That they were
paying too -much tax in proportion to what .some
other people .are paying.
Not only do we carry Pennsylvania, but elect
our State ticket in Massachusetts, New Hampshire
and Wisconsin.
The next U. S. Congress will stand 237 Democrats to 94 Republicans, a majority of 143 for the

Against a Pulpit.
Several months ago there was trouble
in the old Mennonite churcb, in the eastern end of Lancaster county, on the question of pulpit or no pulpit. It threatened to disrupt the congregation, but fin
trouble was held over and a pulpit was
not placed in church.
A few weeks ago the question of putting a pulpit in the meeting house was
again agitated and the anti-pulpit being
in a majority decided to put a stop to
the controversy. A meeting was beld
on Sunday at Weaverland, and eleven of
those active in their efforts to put a pulpit in the chnrch were expelled from
membership. If the disciplining of those
eleven does not have the proper effect tlie
anti-pulpit people will expel all who differ
with them- It is possible that tbis
cburch fight will end in the courts.

GROVER CLEVELAND   REJOICES.
The Ex President Says tbe Party Ha*
Notbfne to I>o Rat Pnsb On.
New York, November 6.—To a reporter who asked for an expression of his
opinions ou the result of Tuesday's elections, Ex-President Cleveland yesterday
said :
"I am delighted. I challenge tho right
of any man in the country to rejoice more *
than I over the results of yesterday.' My •
gratification is that of an American proud
Of bis fellow countrymen, who, though,
led away for a time by party- prejudices
and by blind confidence in cunning and
selfish leaders, could not be deluded to
their ruin"
"They bave demonstrated that, ia dealing with them, it is not safe to. calculate
tbat they are stupid or heedless Of the
welfare of their conntrymen. The necessity of tariff reform, with its consequent
reduction in the cost of living and 'tiie
duty of the Democratic party to advocate
it, has been folly demonstrated by the
action of the people on Tuesday. Their,.
decision has been deliberately made, - and
it is all the more significant becauso they
have voted upon their reason and judgment and becaute they have proved that
corruption is powerless as against their
convictions.
"Of course there is nothing for the
Democratic party to do bnt to push on
the battle at all times and in all places on
the lines which they have laid down-
that is, to insist upon a wise adjustment -
of tariff taxation to the reasonable. needs
of the government, as opposed to the plan
which enriches a favored class at the expense of the masses of tbe people. Until
the victory is won, tbe question of .tariff
reform will not be settled nor;tbe pledges -
and professions of the Democratic party to
the people redeemed.
"Our party has made an honest and an"
earnest fight.   It bas planted itself, npon •'
disinterested   and  unselfish  devotion . to
tbo interests of tbe people.   Its" absolute - * -
unity and harmony upon tbe question'of:
tariff reform shows its.qnick recognition
of true Democratic principles, and its enthusiasm in a cause whioh involves tho -
popular welfare.   Everywhere onr people
have done magnificently and tbe harvest
they have gathered has been nobly earned/' ....   .' ..
In answer to an inquiry as to his view
on the operation of the ballot reform law
Mr. Cleveland said :   .       '-.^.4*. J--e~_i „f
*1 think there should be no moro „brJpo-
sition to the principle of -ballot roform.
Tbe evidence of its usefulness and' benefit'
to the people I regard conclusive... In some
matters of detail the law ia our "State
might, perhaps, be improved. It seems'to .
me it would be well to obviate the necessity for so many separate ballots. • But,
after all, even this or Otber similar ."objec- *
tions are not vitally important. I The thing
upon whioh every honest man should "congratulate himself is that we have a*, law
wbioh protects our voters from corruption
and intimidation, and it is one of 'those
measure* of relief whioh,* onco addpted,
will never be surrendered."

BURNED AT HER WHARF.
Tbe Mallory Line Steamer I.eonn nntl
Har Cargo Destroyed.   '?.*     t
New Yobk, November 2.—James Train,
or, au oiler on the steamship Leona,'of
the Mallory line, discovered at ten'minutes after 10 o'clock last night that fire
was raging in the hold of the steamer,
whieh lay at pier 20, East river. | There
were 7,000 bales of cotton, in the. hold,
valued at $100 a bale. Two alarms of fire ■
were sent out, and in a few minutes" seven
engines were pumping water into the hold
of the vessel.
It soon became evident tbat the cargo
would be a comple loss. In a short' time
the vessel listed far over to port under the
weight of the immense volume of water
poured into her, and the firemen,ia their
efforts to reach tba seat of the.flames
among the cotton bales hadjtorn the decks
all to pieces. It was estimated'that'the
damage to the vessel herself woald not be
less than $5,000, and possibly much more.
Together with the loss on the cargo this
would run the total  up to between $60,-
000 and |76,000.
The Leona was built daring the past
year, and was owned hy the Mallory Line.
Tbe steamer was built of iron. She armed at pier 20 at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning trom Galveston, Texas, having
made the run ia live days and a half. The
sixteen passengers from Galveston had
goue ashore in the morniug,'but none of
the cargo had beon unloaded. The, cargo
of cotton is understood to be insured." A
great portion of it was to have been sent
to Europe.

asked the perspiring speaker if the Johns.
