The conductor is furnished with q long

numbers range on the trip thus! 0, ~, IS, ~,

Mrs. Parton, whose death was mentioned
on Saturday, has been afflicted for many
years with lnfammatoTy rheumatism. She
has been able to ride about however, aud
walk In her garden--she was m ardent ad-
mlrer Of hoWers-untll this fall. She passed
last summer In her, villa at Newport. Her
right arm was SO affected as TO DO powerless,
and she has not left her room since her return
to the city. She was forced 10 cit IN 40 easy
chair, her arm being supported by frame
To lie down caused intense palm and dItil-
Guilty Ia breathing. In this chair, where she
has sat for two months, she died, surrounded
by loving friends, and her eyes resting on the
beautiful flowers which were her, comfort In
life. She was perfectly conscious to the last
moment, and sent messages of her love to
distant friends. A short time ago she told
her husband that she was shocked when she
saw strangers viewing the remains Of the
one OF her last remarks was, LET no stran-
gers look upon my face" whispered "a the
breath Of life was passing from her. She
had always entertained u strong aversion to
ostentatlOus funerals, aud her wishes In this
respect will be fulfilled TO the letter by her
friends.
Early on Thursday sho knew her end was
approaching. Al 5 o'clock In the afternoon
she called her family around the armchair
In which she expired-for her sufferlngs pre-
vented her from resting on q bed. Sadly did
every member respond to the summons. In
the little circle were DR.. Parton, Miss Ed
ridge, the dying lady's daughter, her two sis
ters, Miss julia Willis and Mira. BumsLead,
and little grRndchlld. DR.. Sturgss, her
physician, came In that moment aud Joined
the group. The authoress whose life was
rapidly obbing, called each to her side, aud
said few words OF admonition till she had
reached the last. When her little grandchlld
came to her she directed DR.. Parton to send
her early 10 bed, and II her death occurred
that night not to tell the child TIL tomorrow.
Soon after the sad scene DR.. sturges stepped
forward and felt her pulse. The Ruthofess
fixed her gaze upon him and asked firmly
Doctor, am dylngi" The doctor answered,
Yes" Her pulse had almost gone, and she
presented unmistakable traces of her APP
preaching demlsej but the announcement Of
the physician made no impression upon her.
At $50 o'clock those around her noticed that
she was unusually still. They felt her pulse,
II had stopped. She had Just closed her eyes
Us II TO sleep. A mirror was placed TO her
lips; but It's continued brightness revealed
the fact that she had brcathed her last.

- Philadelphia Ledger, RAiurdAy morning
Yesterday, IN the Quarter Sessions, before
Judge Fiuletter, James Gleason aud Henry
FlnDegan, two sailors, were charged with
committing an assault and battery upon q
policeman. They were on Swanson street al
late hour Of the night, drunk, as the officer
said, aud singing bolsterously. The officer
arrested one, and was first resisted by pris-
oncr and then by his companion, who drew
q sheath-knife, such as Ia carried by sailors,
The story Of the sailors was that they did not
know II was policeman arrestlng them
that they were on their way to their AhlI
singing, and admitted that they had been
drinking. When first arrested the nlppers
were put on one, and when he and his com.
panlon demonstrated, the one who interfered
was struck on the head with q billy, and he
then drew Ills knife for self-defence rs he
expressed IL.
Judge Flnletter, In charging the jury, said
that as policemen were invested with great
power they ought TO exercise the duties OF
their Office with judgment aud discretion. In
making arrests they ought TO consider the
time, the place and the persons. These de,
PENDANTS were sailors, In sailors nelghbor'
hood, and going towards their ship. II Il
said they were drunk, hut drunkenness Of
night ID not an excuse for an arrest unless
accompanied with breach Of the peace.
Nor Is II an offence to sing 10 the public
streets.
All OF US nave seen phrtles Al night sore
padding friends, and although the performers
might be the best and the music the finest
no doubt there are people who would look
upon the performance as q nuisance; but TO
hold that the parties can be arrested for sing
Ing would be an outrage not to be tolerated.
In the present case, II tho sailors were on
their way TO their ship, even II drunk, the
officer should have ascertalned the facts. ED
assisted them, uuless there was an actual
breach Of the peace. The officer should have
considered that sallOrs belong to a class sep
arated for q long period from their friends
shore, and are debarred many Of the pleas.
ures and enjOyments Of landsmen. That
they should be disposed TO an eXuberance of
feeling under such circumstances is not sur,
prlslngi and the officer should have recog-
nized this, "a well as the locality where The
demonstration was made. II these defend
ants were breaking the peace, the officer had
right TO arrest after remonstrance had
ceased 10 have effect. II the defendants ther
resisted, they would be guilty OF assault ant
battery. The jury rendered verdict OF no
gu ilty.
