The coffin for the grown person was open,

trying to push Off the lid. The driver took the
cushion off his seat and put it on the mans

still sat on him while he was going a square, and
between Second and Third streets he stopped
again and took a hammer and tried to nail down
tho lid. Here the driver took the baby's coffin
and put it on top the mans feet, and then sat
on him again. The driver, when first went up

THE ROSS CASE.
The Search Still Progressing.

The search for Charley Ross not seem
to abate by reason of the hitherto unsuc-
cessful attempts to find him. On Friday
February II, Mr. Christian K. Ross, the
father, and Detective McKibbin, of this
city, arrived in New Brunswick, n. j., on
foot, much fatigued. They had left South
Amboy in the afternoon, having visited
every human habitation between the latter
place and Washington, on South river, on
clue given them at South Amboy, By
Charles Applegate, who was on familiar
speaking terms the kidnappers, Mosier and
Douglas, and who knew that they were in
the habit of sailing up the Raritan river as
far as Chesapeake creek in August and
September. They were guided in the
search by Mr.. Applegate, who also accom-
panied them. Mr.. Ross and the detective
held consultation with Mayor De Rosy
and Chiefof Police Oliver, with the view
of securing their assistance. The search
was continued in all the country round
abut New Brunswick on Saturday, and on
Sunday and Monday of this week, and
much valuable information, it is said was
obtained. On Monday night Mr.. Ross re-
turned to the city, too weak to continue
the search, he and Detective McKibben
having been gone since the 6th instant,
during which time Red Bank, the High
lands, and both banks of the Raritan river
were thoroughly inspected. Mr.. Ross was,
however, well enough to be out yesterday

Catholicism has had remarkable growth
in New England, mostly, though not
wholly, as the result of immigration, with
in the past forty years. In 1925, there
was one priest in Massachusetts,, one in
Maine, and one in New Hampshire. In
1885, there were in New England twenty.
seven priests and twenty-five Catholic
churches In 1874, the number of Catho-
lie churches in New England was about
10000, and there were thirty priests and
thirty-seven churches. In 1875, there are
about one million of Catholics, with one
archbishop, FIVE bishops, All priests and
432 churches.

Sewing Machines,

Senator Cameron, in recent debate,
called attention to the jobbery on the part
of persons interested in patent rights,
"Look," he said, "as it regards sewing ma
chimes. Here is machine in which the
poor people all over the country are inter
ested, that does not cost in its most expen-
sive form more than fifteen dollars, and yet
it is sold for seventy-fve or eighty dollars.
Every year comes in some inventor-as he
calls himself-puts in some little addition to
the original patent, and he gets seven years
more and at the end of this seven years,
seven years more. Our patent rights were
intended to terminate at a short period, SO
that the public should be benefited by them.
| think the sewing machine business one
of the most glaring systems of wrong in the
country" Senator Cameron is right, and
will be borne out by every house-keeper in
the land. There is no reason, if all patents
on sewing machines were abolished, why
they should not be sold at one fourth the
price now demanded.

A Two Years Stay Law.

A bill has been presented in the Senate
at Harrisburg, which, if passed, will dc
more to bring about an era of good time
than any other piece of legislation we have
yet noted.
The act declares that there shall be a
stay of execution for t,oo years from its
passage on all judgments exceeding 500
now existing, and other judgments from
the date of the execution Of the instrument,
provided that the defendant is possessed OF
real estate within the respective county or
counties in which such judgment shall have
been obtained, and shall give security for
lis payment and satisfy the Court that he
or they are the bona fide owners of property
worth double the amount of the judgment,
and all other debts and membranes In
all cases where the defendant can satisfy
the Court that majority Of his or their
creditors, whose demands exceed two-thirds
of his or their entire indebtedness, have
agreed in writing to extend the time of
payment of the debts due them respectively,
the Court shall direct that no execution
issue except as agreed upon. No person,
bank, firm or broker holding callaterals for
debts due shall sell the same within ttoo
years from the taking effect Of this act,
provided that this act shall not be construed
to stay an execution issued sixty days after
the passage to collect interest due or becom-
ing due on any judgment, not less than
$500, heretofore obtained.
The passage of some such law as this is
eminently desirable at this time to relieve
those In moderate circumstances
