At Centreville, Ohio, recently, young
man was standing in dooryard just be-
fore rain began falling. His brother:
wife and her three buildren were neal
him when the lightning, attracted by &
small tree standing near, passed part o.
the way down, and darting off struck hin
on the head, dividing at his neck, crossed
his back in two streams and passed down
ward, killed him instantly. All the child
ren were severely injured and the wife
badly stunned by the shock. The young
mans hat was puuctured and torn, bu
his skin was nowhere broken. He wa
about eight feet from the tree, and wa
holding in his hands two chickens, whose
flesh was so spoiled by the electric fuic
that it was rendered unfit for use. TIL,
tree was about the same height as tn
house, which was protected by lightnin!
rods.

Tad Lincoln.

Thomas Lincoln, universally known as
Tad Lincoln, the youngest son of the late
President, died at the Clinton House al
Chicago, at seven o'clock on Saturday
morning, of dropsy of the heart, aged Is
years. He was taken i'll few days after
returning from Europe. During his i'll
ness his mother has been his almost con.
slant attendant. There has always ex-
listed the warmest affection between the
two. Mrs. Lincoln is almost completely
prostrated by her affliction When his
father occupied the Presidential chair al
Washington, "Little Tad" as he was gen
orally called, was the favorite of all who
knew him, and his circle of acquaintance:
was not small. There will be many thou
sands throughout the length and breadth
of the land, who, upon hearing Of his de
cease, will be as mucL panied as surpris
ed.

Judge Paxson, of Philadelphia, has de-
cided that procession has no right to in
terrupt the ordinary travel on street
The Mayor had issued orders that no
street cars should be allowed to cross the
streets SO long as the German procession
was passing. a superintendent of one of
the lines endeavored to force his cars
through gap in the procession, but he
was prevented by police officer. The
superintendent sued the officer for assault
and battery, aud won his case. The de-
cislon is based on common sense. A pro-
cession that takes an unusual length of
time to pass has no right to stop citizens
or put them to any inconvience to crafty
its own whims.

A Ce,v daxs since we naid a hnrrie,

A few days since we paid a hurried
visit TO the main audience room of the NJ. Z.
Church, now rapidly receiving the finishing
touches, preparatory to the Dedication on
Thursday next. We were not long in dis
covering that our Methodist brethren were
admirably succeeding in securing for them
selves, one Of the finest rooms for public
worship in this section Of country.
The size of the room is ~ by 65 feet, on
the main floor, in the clear, with an addi-
tion Of some Is feet in depth of gallery, and
will contain Sc seats, seating comfortably 900
persons, and with a little crowding 700 peo-
pie. The pulpit is plain yet very neat, and
the conveniences for the clergy most ample
and admirably arranged The pews are built
after the latest approved style, and are mo-
dels Of neatness and comfort-not the kind
that viii induce lolling and doing, during
service, but such as viii enable the occupant
to set comfortably, while he takes the word
as expounded, Sabbath after Sabbath, from
the sacred desk. The trimmings Of pews,
pulpit and altar are Of black walnut, and are
very neat specimens Of workmanship. The
windows which are modelled in correct taste.
and well proportioned, are glazed with stained
glass They are the finest and make the
best display of any we ever saw. They are
ornamented with scriptural emblems, finished
in the neatest possible style, and are a cred
it to their manufacturers, as well as to the
liberal spirit Of the congregation which sane
toned their purchase. The glass cost about
$780,
We have heard nothing of the whole cost
of the remodeling, or rather the rebuilding
of the Church, but presume we may safely
say that it runs somewhere up into the thou
sands of dollars. BE the cost what it may
the whole thing reflects credit upon all con
oerned in It's commencement, progress and
completion-upon congregation and friend;
for their consent to the work and the liberal
ity, thus far, Of their subscription upon tho
former pastor Rev Mr.. Ridgway for the
perseyerlng manner In which he clung to the
work until it was under roof; upon the pre-
sent pastor, the Rev. Mr. Mcconnell for h;.
skill IN deylsing means, and his steady pay
ing Of ways to its present near completion
and TO the building committee for then
straight forward march, turning neither tC
the fight nor to the left, from the founda
ton stones to the topmost point of the spire
While the church is a model of conyen
fence TO, and an honor to the liberality Of
the congregation, we feel happy to say thai
it is, beyound doubt, an ornament of which
the denizens Of our borough may well fee
proud.

ORANGE CELEBRATION.
RIOT IN NEW YORK.
Sixty Killed and many Wounded.

July II, the Anniversary of the victo
ry achieved in 1890 by William Ill, one
King of England, over James H.. ano
ther King, involving a triumph ovel
Catholicism in the world, and establish
ing perpetual feud between protestan
and catholic Irishmen everywhere, was ;
day of excitement and riot in New York
Fearing trouble the city authorities or
Tuesday issued an order prohibiting the
parade Of the Orangemen, on the ground
that it was likely to provoke riot and
bloodished, aud that it was improper tc
perpetuate ill.feeling by celebrating in
this country events which occurred under
different rule in another, and with which
many citizens could not sympathize.
Last Tuesday evening Governor Hoff
man, fastened to New York and, order
ing the revocation of the prohibitory or.
der, issued proclamation that the right
of the citizens of the State to assemble
and to parade if they chose, should be
protected by all the military of the State
if necessary.
The Orangemen therefore made ready
and at an early hour on Wednesday the
procession was formed and the parade
began.
The streets of the city were thronged
and the excitement was intense.
The police were out in full force, as
was also the military.
At 29th. street and eighth avenue the
mob which had gathered, attempt to force
its way through the baricade of policemen
Firing and fighting soon began on both
sides, and several were killed and wound
ed
An order was given to the military to
fire, and they did fire, killing large
number and wounded many more.
Many spectators, who were taking no
part in the mob were injured
The latest reports put the number of
killed at ffty-six and the wounded at
about two hundred.

to come forward in good quantities. The
variety known as "Hale's Early" will be
abundant in this market this week. and a

unprecedented. One advices from Mil.

that yield may be effected considerably

splendidly. The fruit is not yet, how
ever, really first class, little if any of il
being entirely ripe. Considering the i'm

The "Pain Killer" may justly be'styled the
great medicine of the world, for there is no re-
gion of the globe into which it has not found
its way, and been largely used and highly
priced. Moreover, there is no claim to which
it has not proved to be well adapted for the
cure of considerable variety of diseases it is
speedy and safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts,
bruises, wounds and various other injuries, as
well as for dysentery, diarrhea and bowel COM
plants generally, it is admirably suited for
every race of men on the face ofthe globe.
1t is very significant fact that notwithstand-
ing the long period of years that the "Pain
Killer" has been before the world, it has never
lost one whit of its popularity but, on the
contrary, the call for it has steadily increased
from its first discovery, and at no previous tina
has the demand for it been so great or the
quantity made been so large, as it is to-day.
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has
the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute or
been more generally used by families and indi-
viduals, than it has been here at home, where
it was first discovered and introduced. That
the Pain Killer will continue to be, what we
have styled it the great medicine of the world,
there cannot be the shadow of doubt-Pro-
