A New JERSEY MnIIoNAiBE. The Pat
erson Press has the following;
"One of the most financially successful
of Patersonians is Peter Donahue, who
learned his trade in the Rogers Locomo-
tive Works in this city. Nearly twenty
years ago he set out for California, going
overland and arriving there before the gold
discovery. He started the first blacksmith
and machine shop on the Pacific coast, and
when the tide of immigration came pouring
in he was ready to take advantage Of 1t,
and turned his iron products into gold
proving more successful in that way than
the thousands who dug directly for the yell
low metal He is now immensely wealthy
his possessions being valued at three or
four million dollars, but he is no prouder
than when he toiled and sweated in the
locomotive shops in this city. He recently
came east and for two weeks has been set
ting up his business affairs in this sec
ton. Last night he came to, Paterson, and
this morning went off again ACCOMPANIED
by q brother, sister-ill-law and young son,
intending to sai to France to-day to join
his wife and daughters, who have been so
journing there some time. Honest, skill
full industry, directed by an excellent judg-
ment, has in this as hundreds of other
cases accomplished wonders : i

A QUESTION OF GONG TO BED The right
Of Il master to order servant to go to bed,
was the question involved in case which
came before the County Court Judge at
Guildiord, England, recently. Elizabeth
Wheatly sued James White for 16s. 3d. ip
lien of notice The defenant is the land
lord of the Talbot Inn at Ripley. The
plaintiff said she was in the service Of the
defendent, who had dismissed her without
giving her any notice. The cause of her
dismissal was that the defendent came
down into her kitchen one night and told
her to go to bed at quarter to 10 o'clock
She refused to do so, MS they never went to
bed till half-past TO- On the following
morning he threatened to kick her out OF
the house if she did not go. The Judge
gave this decision; II think your master
was quite right in dismissing you. When
your master told you to go to bed it was
your duty to do so and as you did not obey
his reasonable commands, he was quite JUS
tilted in dismissing you |. shall find a

A Wealthy Chicago Business Man Ac-
enSed of Attempting to Poison His
WIFE.

VIE a
Mr.. Charles Peck, a well known mer-
chant of this city who resides at Waukegan
is at present held in bontls of s25, 900 to
answer to q charge IF atf fempted murder,
the trial to take place aa the Waukegan
Circuit Court in September The facts,
which are said to be as follows, have caus-
ed great excitement among tRe many friends
of the accused Mrs Peck has, for some
time past, been a confirmed invalid and
confined to her bed room under constant
medical care, and has been taking great
deal of medicine In the legal investiga-
ton it transpired that Mr.. Peck came home
a few evenings ago with q powder which he
said was put up by an eminent physician,
and which he desired his T2fe would
take, saying it would heal her at
once. His uneasy manner and his anxiety
that she should take it at once made her
suspicious, and on some pretext she got
possession of the powder, and refused to
give it up. Next day she had it analyzed,
and discovered that there was enough
morphine in it to kill two men. A magis-
trate was sent for, and took her deposition,
the apothecary was also summoned and
Peck arrested and put under bonds as
stated. His friends have tried to stave off
the trial as long as possible, and keep
the matter quiet, not believing the almost
incredible charge under which he labors.
Mr.. Peck is one of the wealthiest men in
that vicinity, and has had good name
in this city for integrity. 1t seems impos-
sibIe to believe that investigation will not
prove his innocence. Chicago Post, 26th.

Point, on his return trip to Altoona, the
brake chain on theengine snapped asun-
der. Mr.. Doran reversed his engine
Immediately, but the strain OH the steam
chests was too severe, and the result
was that one OF them exploded, thus
rendering him powerless to control it.
The grade here is abeut ninty feet to the
mile, and it required but few moments
for the engine to attain n fearful mo-
mentum, and Doran and his fireman
were compelled to jump off. The run
away engine, with constantly accelerat-

and, about four miles beyond the point
where the break gave way, collided with
freight train which was passing down
