Mr.. HiEKE, the Piano tuner in the

OBITUARY.

SMOKE-Died in this city on June 4th
1871, DAVID SMOKE, aged IS years.
Thus has passed away another esteem
ed and honored citizen. The Hon. David
Smoke was born in Pennsylvania.
At the age o. fifteen years he left his
home to seek his fortunes in the west
and finally in 1916 commenced business
in Racine, Wis.
In 1854 he removed with his family to
Two Rivers, Wis, where he engaged
with great success for two years in man
ufacturing and mercantile pursuits.
In 1864 he represented this district in
the Assembly with so much credit to him
self and so much satisfaction to his con-
stituents that he was reelected in 1866
| from the same district.
In the spring of 1867 Mr.. Smoke re-
moved to Manitowoc, where ne soon con-
tracted for our harbor and has applied in
its construction the successive appropria-
tons of Congress. 1t is said to be the
most faithfully built harbor on the lake
shore.
He was prominent candidate befor
the democratic County convention of 1870
| for the Office of State senator. Such is
| a very general outline of his record which
| is conspicuous one both in the politics
and business of this section. He was a
man of large and liberal views, and was
especially distinguished for his deep in
terest in, and prominent Identification
with all important matters of public con-
Germ. The exposition of his character
requires 40 shire, d analysis, for the points
of it were few, strong and plain. AS a
business man, he was bold, grasping, and
extremely hazardous, would organize and
stir up business as few men could, bust
ness enough forseveral closer and Icarefuler
men to make their fortunes Of His po-
political prominence and honors were
natural ard deserved, coming mostly
without his seeking, because he was able,
and because the people felt indebted to
him. And another thing: though par
tial fortune which often greatly exalts
the weak and deeply depresses the strong
made his financial career changeful one,
he never sat down, as many men do, and
folded his hands in dark Encouragement.
but restlessly and persistently persevered
to the final accomplishment of each of the
many large enterprises he has undertak-
en-. A disconsolate widow mourns the
loss of devoted husband, large family
of children kind father, and the public
very unusually active and valuable citizen

City bankers whose vaults are liable, in the
absence of an efficient police and the presence
of numerous enterprising burglars, to be un-
dcrmined or otherwise explored and empticd
will be charmed with the ruling which we
publish this morning by Philadelphia Judge,
who, we take it, is as shrewd as the general
run of lawyers of that city. 1t was in the
well-knOwn suit of an Erie National Bank to
recover $4,000 in deposits, of which the Ocean
Bank of this City was robbed i'll 1869. The
Judge distinctly charged in effect that bankers
were not responsible for the loss of deposits
where ordinary precautions against theft were
employed. Some nervous depositors may be
disposed to look on the Judges definition OF
ordinary precaution" as better description
of " extraordinary carelessness." but they must
not be unreasonable and give trouble.

Rebel leader in our late contest, and refused

To this question, twice reiterated, The World
returns no answer. 1t Obstnately refuses to

The pleasant but too brief sketch which we
publish this morning descriptive of the New
Years Day celebration at the Russian Court,
contains further significant indications, evil
IDENTITY premedtated by Prince Gortschakof, of
the amiable understanding between Russia and
Turkey which threatens to agitate the London
Conference, and perhaps cOnvuse Europe. But
we have had stronger hints cOnfirmatory of
this suspicion. and indeed it may be set down
as indisputable that, for some mysterious dip
lomatic reasons best known to themselves, the

1t was Mr. Henry Brook Adams, we believe, who
not long ago pointed out in the course of an article
on the Railroad System of the United States in The
North american Rerer, the necessity of a subdivision
of the work now performed by railroads,
certain roads being specially constructed
and equipped with reference to high
rates of speed for passenger traffic only and Others
with reference to much lower rates of speed for
freight traffic mainly, if not exclusively. The New
Hamburger disaster recalls the desirabity of efforts
in this direction. As the ease stands now the pas
sengers on every leading railroad in the
country must run whatever risks are incurred
by the transportation Of oil, gunpOwder
nitroglycerine and other dangerous substances over
the same line for the simple reason that if not trans
ported over railroad used also for passenger traffic,
they could not be transported at all. When we have
through freight railroads this danger at least will
be Withdrawn from the rapid travel which has be-
come a necessity Of American life.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST RAILROAD HOR-
RORS

A correspondent, whose letter we print else
where, answers our remarks upon the Hudson
River Railway accident; but we think he has
not fully appreciated the drift of our article.
There should be general regulation stopping
every train before coming TO a draw-brldgc,
not to avoid collisions, but to avoid running
into an open draw and the New-Elamburgh
catastrophe results from a neglect OF this pre-
caution. II ia not "a natural, but an accidental
result. In other words the rule which should
have been adopted as a safeguard against a
totally different class OF accidents would have
rendered this one impossible. OF course the
disaster might have happened somewhere else;
but i'll the mysterious dispensation of Provl-
dence the axle of the oil-caT Glanced to break
just when the two trains were on long bridge
where we think it was not reasonably pru-
dent for two trains to be at the same moment
Our correspondent represents us IA saying
that the block system of signaling would have
prevented this accident but he has misunder-
stood us. We mentioned the block system as
q general safeguard which was suggested by the
occurrence Of Monday night; it would prevent
collisions On single track road, but not such

Count Bismarck's outlawry of Gen. Ducrot and
other French officers accused by him OF breaking
their paroles was threat, we suspected at the
time of its uterance intended more TO demoralZe tine
men under their command than to inimidate them
selves At least we have heard nothing OF any at
tep TO punish them since the fall Of Paris nor OF the
flight of the accused officers in balloon, which we
were told they were prepared to take. There Is "a
further suspicion that the note of Count Bismarck
was not only threatening but unjust toward these
officers. At the time it was issued, the denial or
justification of their alleged oiiense which the
officers had to offer was not known but 1T has
since been stated on apparently good authority
that Gen DucrOt never gave his parole, but accepted
a safe-conduct to Pont-a-Mousson. where, after re-
porting himself prisoner he escaped from his negh-
gent guards Gen. Barral gave his parole and,
though in Paris during the whole OF the
siege. refused to serve even on court-mar-
tial duty. Gen. Cambriels, it appears, escaped
after Sedan but before any parole had
been given rs he had undOubted night TO do
These explanations have not been published In
as authoritative language as the accusation Of
Count Bismarck nor indeed in official form. but
they remain uncontradicted, and are apparent
ly worthy of full crcdence. After tins
denial and the failure of the Germans to bring the
recaptured officers to trial, it must be conceded that
they are acquitted of any suspicion of having stained
the reputation of the French arms and their own
honor France has lost enough of military glory as
nation: il is consong to believe that none Of her
sons have sacrificed their honor as her soldiers.
