Hail Insurance.--
A meeting of prominent tobacco growers and other citizens was held at the Franklin House, in the city of Lancaster, on Monday afternoon. John H. High was called to the chair, and Johnson Miller chosen secretary. After some discussion in regard to the matter that Lancaster was the largest tobacco-growing county in the State, and the necessity of a company to protect our farmers of this crop from its destruction by hail, which was so serious in some sections of this county during the summer, it was agreed to organize a home company, and the following officers and directors were elected: Peter S. Reist, of Lititz, President; I. A. Stober, of Schoenech, Vice President; Dr. P. J. Roebuck, of Lititz, Treasurer; Johnson Miller, of Lititz, Secretary. Directors-John H. High, of East Earl twp., James Collins, of Colerain twp., Menno M. Fry, of Warwick twp., Daniel Herr, of Pequea twp., Henry S. Eberly, of Clay twp.
The name of the organization will be the Lancaster County Mutual Hail Insurance Company. The business office will be located at Lititz. An application will be made to the Governor for a charter in due time, and books opened to receive applications for insurance. The company will be put in running order as soon as agents for each township in the county have been appointed.

Weist, Dr. - 1881
The Verdict.--
The interest in the Miller-Gensemer tragedy at union Station has not abated; in fact, it may be said to have crystallized, and as there are always two sides of a question so are there two determined factions - for and against the prisoner. Miller was taken to Union Station on Saturday, by Constable Wolfskill, of East Cocalico, and Chief of Police Deichler, of Lancaster, for a hearing before ‘Squire Garman.
On the arrival of the train at the station a large crowd of excited people assembled and the officers hurried the prisoner to the justice’s office by a short route.
At the hearing two witnesses were examined. Clinton F. Reager testified to the shooting, and Dr. Weist to the death from gunshot wounds. No defense was made. Bail was offered and refused, and the prisoner committed for a trail at Court.
The wife and barkeeper of Miller were allowed private interviews with him.
A large crowd gathered in front of the magistrate’s office, manifesting suppressed but intense excitement. The officers, bearing in mind the rumored threats of lynching, conveyed the prisoner quietly out of the back door to a close carriage and drove rapidly to Reamstown station, where they took the train. Miller was safely landed in prison in the afternoon.
