furnished music for the occasion.-
Then came the cream, which Mrs.
Goodrich alone knows how to make.
Then followed the presentation,
with few very appropriate remarks
by Rev. +. N. Barlow, in which he
stated that under Mr.. Kimball's
charge there had never been one com
plant from the men, that his face
was always pleasant and smiling, his
words cheering, and that no one of them
had ever received a single cross word
from him in any manner. The mill
had been built to the entire satisfac-
ton of the proprietor, and in short,
there was no room for complaint from
any quarter. That in their apprecia-
ton of his gentlemanly department
toward all, and the faithfulness with
which he had managed the whole af-
fair, they had considered him worthy
of some token of regard from them,
and therefore the present.
Mr.. Kimball was somewhat sur
prised, as he had known nothing of
what was to come until Mr.. Barlow
stepped forward with the gift. How
ever, he answered the remarks of the
reverend gentleman in a brief but
appropriate manner, thanking them
very kindly for their friendship and
present, and hoped they would never
have cause to regret of presenting the
token.
Some remarks were made by sew
eral others present, among them Hon,
S. L. Carpenter. Then more ice
cream, after which the Band again ia.
vored the party, when they all sought
their homes, highly pleased with the
evenings entertainment.

Fatal Accident.

We clip the following from the
Chronicle, published at Sterling, ILL.,,
of date Aug. 3. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Apthorp was former
ly pastor of the Congregational Church
of this city, and the children were
well known here and beloved by all
"On Friday morning last, five child
rem of ages ranging from five to nine
years, were at play in the sand-pit on
the premises of Richard Arey, Jr, in
Colon, when the bank caved in and
completely buried three of them, the
other two being covered up to the
waist and shoulders. Willie Wells,
who was least covered, managed to
dig out, and running to the house,
some twenty rods, told what had hap
pened. His mother ran to the road
and gave the alarm to several men
who were working on the street, while
the hired girl ran to the pit, and had
released the youngest, Carl Apthorp,
who was partially buried. The men
from the road at once set to work Wig
orously to uncover the others, and af
ter removing about four feet Of sand
and earth they were found, one stand
ing nearly erect, and the others pros,
trate, with life extinct, though the
bodies were still warm and TIMBER
The names of the little ones thus sud
denly snatched from fond parents, are
Emma Wells, daughter of Mrs. Rich
ard Arey, Jr., and her former hus-
band, Stephen Wells, who died from
hardship and exposure in the army,
and the two oldest sons, (Allie and
Grant, of Mr.. Apthorp, Congrega-
tional minister, who recently came
from Michigan, and leaving his family
with friends here, had gone to Iowa to
look up future home. kilograms
were Immediately sent to him, but as
his exact locality was unknown, it is
not certain-at this writing on Satur-
day-that he will get the word in time
to see the faces of his sons before they
are buried. The bodies were carried
| to the residence of II. III. jenkins,
who is brother-in-law to Mr.. Apthorp,
and foster father to Mrs. Arey, where
they were packed in ice to await the
arrival of the stricken father. A
more sadly beautiful sight we never
saw than that of those three sweet
faces, in a row, serenely beautiful in
their unwaking sleep, just as they were
caught by the restless sands, in the
midst of their innocent, happy sports.
1t is due to Mr.. Arey to say that he
has always been very careful never to
leave his pit in such conditian that
caving in was possible, always throw
ing the bank down where it was likely
to fall, before leaving it; but on the
morning of the accident, some parties
from this city had taken out load or
two and, unknown to Mr.. Arey, and
doubtless with little thought of the
fearful consequences that might follow,
had left the bank in dangerous con-
dition.
up. s. Mr.. Apthorp arrived on
Monday, and the funeral took place in
the afternoon of that day. They
sleep as they died-together, side by
side. The attendance was very large"

The building OF the Northern Pacific Railroad
Cbegun July asD is being pushed forward with great
energy from both extremlties OF the line. Several
thousand men are employed in Minnesota and on
the Pacific coast. The grade is nearly completed
266 miles westward from Lake SupeTior trains are
running over 1870 miles OF finished road, and track
laying is progressing at the rate of one to two miles
per day. Including its purchase OF the ST Paul and
Pacific Road, the Northern Pacific Company now
has 41S miles Of completed road, and by September
dent this will be increased to at least $50.
A GOOD INVESTMENT.
We are now selling and unhesitatlngly recon-
mend, as Profitable and perfectly Safe investment,
the First Mortgage Land Grant Gold Bonds OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company. They have 80
years to rum bear Seven and Three-tenths per cent
gold interest mors than per cent. currency, and
are secured 10y first and only mortgage on the EN-
TIRE ROAD AND ITS EQUIPMENTS and also on
$4,000 ACRES OF LAND
to every mile OF track, 800 Acres for each sos
Bond. They are exempt from United States Tax;
Principal and Interest are payable in Gold; Demo
limitations Coupons, 500 to s1OOO Registered, 500
to $4,000.
LANDS FOR BONDS.
Northern Pacific 1905 are at all times receivable
at TEN PER CENT. ABOVE PAR, in exchange for the
Company Lands at their lowest cash price. That
is, in addition to their character as hrst-cass
promptpaying Railroad security, these bonds are
in effect Land Warrants bearing profitable rate OF
PER CENT. PREMIUM.
SINKING FUND.
The Land Grant Of the Road exceeds Fifty Mil
lion Acres, having average soil Of great fertility,
in climate that is simply unsurpassed. The Trus-
tees of the Mortgage, Messrs. Jay Cooke and j.
Edgar Thomson, are required to devote the pro-
ceeds of all Land Sales to the repurchase and can
collation. OF the Companys Bonds. This immense
Sinking Fund will undoubtedly cancel the principal
of the entire issue of First Mortgage Bonds (now
selling) before they fan due.
PROFITABLE AND SAFE.
With their ample security and high rate OF inte-
rest there is no investment accessible to the peo
pie which is more profitable or safe. In view Of
the Governments expectation soon to call for the
surrender of its outstanding per cent. Bonds,
under the present movement for funding the debt
at lower interest, many holders Of United States
Fve-Twenties are exchanging them for Northern
Pacific Seven-Thirtles, thus realizing a handsome
profit, and greatly increasing their annual income

"The Soldiers Daughter"

In connection with the performance of the
comedy of The Soldiers Daughter, announced
for Mr.. Adam Everly's benefit tomorrow even
ing at the Arch Street Theatre, the following
information about the play and its author will
be of Interest,"
Andrew Cherry, the author OF The Soldiers Ddugh-
ter, was an actor of repute upon the London stage
and from the practical knowledge OF the cap-traps
Of his profession, awaited himself OF time TO pro-
duce this play when England was in perfect blaze
OF patriotism; when every man was a volunteer, and
every boy a soldier, anxious to defend his native
land from the threatened invasion of Bonaparte At
such time, with such theme upon every tongue,
not to have appauded patriotic speeches. uttered by
q young and handsome woman, would have been
worse than tTeason the author, therefore, Tsked
failure for he had carried his audience by coup de
main.
No play has been more roughly handled by critics,
or more warmly applauded by the audience assem-
bled TO witness It's representation; and, although
the characters belong to past age, Governor
Heartall, Widow Cheerly, and Timothy Quaint,
will always keep 1t among the catalogue of acting
Plays, the dashing style OF the laughing young
widow making her faYoTite part with actresses OF
eminence TO select for their debut before strange
audience and improbable as the incidents may be,
they never fail 10 meet the appreciation OF the audi
ence, who having enjoyed hearty laugh, are not so
captiOus when leaving the theatre, to hnd fault
with the author OF their amusement.
