Locomotion in Constantinople is accom-
panied by pleasing excitement beyond that
caused by the actual journey. All persons
using the Tramway Company's cabs receive
from the driver printed slip bearing num-
Der, and every two months lottery is drawn,
the winning numbers gaining various prizes.
At the last drawing the prize of e2O fell to
the lot of the lucky owner of No. 81, 547.
This lottery is, says the Lerant Herald, not
only an amusement to the public, but it en-
ables the company to exercise control over
the pecuniary honesty of their drivers, as
the books from which these numbers are
drawn have counterfoils with corresponding
numbers, and persons who use the cabs have

To the Manufactures. Of PorsI.pd.

To the Manufacturers of Portland.
The Board of Manufacturers respectfully an
nounce to the manufacturers of Portland that
an exhibition of all the goods and wares MANN
factured in our city, or elsewhere, under the di-
rection and control of our citizens, will be held
in May neat at our City Hall, to be called a1he
Portland Industrial Exhibition" provided. suf.
fcient encouragement is received to warrant so
important undertaking by the Board -..
Few people in our city, and none out of it.
have any adequate idea Of the amount, variety
or value of Portland manufactures.
The object of this proposed exhibition is, to
gather together specimen products from all our
factories and work shops under single roof:
advertise the wares of all who exhibit; increase
the sale of Portland manufactured goods; draw
the attention of capital and labor to our city:
and demonstrate the Importance of Portland a.
a manufacturing center.
The Board have no doubt that steam nover
can be procured for running machinery. so that
nearly all kinds of manufacturing NAV be mt
IN operation in City Hall before the eyes of
visitors.
There will be no charge to exhibitors for adj
mission, or for space in the hail. nor will prizes
or diplomas be awarded. s.-.
The expenses of the exhibition are to he ds.
frayed by a small admission fee to all visitors
other than exhibitors.
To determine the feasibility of holding such
an exhibition as is herein suggested a public
meeting of the manufacturers of Portland is
hereby called to meet in the Common Council
Room, City Building on Wednesday evening,
Feb. b.11th, 1S74.All persons in the city interested
in manufacturing here or elsewhere are earn
estly and cordially invited to he present and
lend the aid of their personal counsel to an en-
terprise which it is believed, cannot but prove
advantageous to all interests represented. and
enhance the business prosperity of all our citi-
zens.

A MURDER.-The facts show that most
diabolical murder was committed not far from
Stony Brook, on the road from Bakers Basin
to Princeton, on Tuesday night of last week.
The name Of the man was Solomon Krauskoff,
q well-known peddlcr who travelled with a
couple of valises, well stocked. He showed
his money at New Brunswick and had been
drinking very freely. The theory is that he
was followed by his murderer until he got an
opportunity to dispatch him. His money and
valises were gone.
The supposition is that he was killed on his
way from Bakers Basin, and dragged across
the bridge at Stony Brook, and after his
pockets were rifed his body was thrown into
the brook. There were some marks of a
struggle on the other side. He was shot in
the right breast, the ball entering the right
lapel of his coat, and passed into and through
his heart.
A jury was summoned by Coroner Mount.
Drs Lytle and Baker made a post mortem ex-
animation which convinced them that death
was the result of foul play The messenger
of death in the shape of a two ounce conical
bali fired from pistol penetrated the right
breast, took downward course and entered
between tho fourth and fifth ribs severed the
main artery near the heart and caused almost
instantaneous death. The theory of suicide
the doctors say is untenable. The fact
that no bruises were found ON the body when
discovered puzzles many as to whether tleccas-
cd came to his death on the road bed, and
was then thrown into the screek, or whether
he was shot while under the trestlc work.
The solution of this mysterious circumstance
it is feared will involve much difficulty.
The Jury adjourned until this morning in
the hope that more evidence will turn up,
(which shall more directly point out the perpe-
TRAITORS of the foul deed. The Jury thus fa1
plave not been able togather any facts to form
"a suspicion against any one, although there i.
lurking ~ the minds Of many thu idea tina,
the aAuRser was prepetrated by some one liv
Sng in the Seighborhood.

DEATH OF NorEp REvIvAuIsT.--Fhe
death of Elder Jacob Knapp, the noted revi.
valist, at his home near Rockford, ILL.,, is an
nounced. He was born IN 1709 and has been
an evangelist ever since 1882, when he under
went what he used often to speak OF as his
second conversion, giving up his worldly oc-
equations, and consecrating the whole wealth
of his energy, both Of body and mind, upon
the great work of persuding mon to be rec
onciled to God. This lie did, not as q pastor,
but as an evangelist, going about as Proyi-
dence opened the way, and sometimes remain
ing in particular place for weeks or for
months performing an incredible amount
of labor night and day, often in crcumstan-
ces Of the greatest excitement, and among
enemies on the ono hand, but surrounded
OH the other by friends. His zeal, energy and
power in the pulpit increased with the grow
ing excitement.

SPRING ELEcTIoNs.--In Mercer County the
township elections as far as held, have result
cd generally in Republican victories.
John II. Jones, Democrat, was elected May
or of Camden on Tuesday Of last week by
something over one hundred majority.
In Burlington county, the Republicans car
ried Pemberton, Democratic stronghold, and
gave the Democrats fight in Bordentown.
In Salem, Burlington, Gloucester and Cum
berland the Republicans have elected theil
tickets by handsome majoritics. In Salem
they made a clean sweep.
At the election held last week in New Hamp-
shire, three candidates were running, an(
neither one had q majority over the othel
two as required. The Legislature, which i
probably Democratic, will now have the cleo
ton Of the Governor.

A bill to allow the Catholic clergy special
privileges, in collecting together and in in
structing the children that belong to their
faith, separate and apart from the other boys,
on Sundays, was defeated in the House, last
week, after wrrm discussion. The op.
ponents of the bin took the ground that the
State had no right to give to any particular
religious society, special privileges. All de-
nominations have an equal right under the
present rules to visit the institutions for re-
licious instruction. The bill had special re
ference to the Reform School at Jamesburg.
