"A very respectable coored woman of this
city states that for two years past she has at
tended the evening meetings of her church
without molestaton, but since license has
gone into effect she has been twice insulted
in the streets, while going to and returning
from church. The rowdy element on the
street corners appear now to be quite defiant
Mr. Frank z. Fritz, our city Photograph
er, to-day "wednesday, is taking stereoscopic
views of our city and it's surroundings, from
the summit of Tower Building, over THE Re-
CORD Office. There is no point in the city SO
well adapted for this purpose. Its superior
height and central location permits the artist
to take within the range of vision not only a
complete view of our city, but the whole scope
of beautiful scenery, of which we can boast,
for miles around, in every direction.
Since the licensing of our hotels, "busi.
ness is picking up--we mean the business
Of making drunkards. More drunkenness
has been seen in our streets in the past few
days than for months before A number oil
young men who have kept comparatively
sober for the past two years, are now com.
mencing course of dissipation. AS men see
before their eyes the effects of license would
it not be well for them to ask themselves how
far their votes and influence have brought a.
bout this state of affairs?
On last Sunday morning little da lighter
of Mr.. Theodore Keitley, residing on South
Franklin street, in this city, was badly scald-
ed about the face and body by over turning a
coffee pot containing boiling coffee. The
mother, it appears was attending to some
work about the room when the accident oc-
child in time to prevent it. 1t is thought
however, that the injuries received are not of
a very serious nature.
Mr.. James F. Mulligan, of Clinton, had a
narrow escape on Tuesday afternoon. Mr..
Honeyman is putting down one of his patent
wells in the yard Of Prof. j. e. Bergner
and although it was sixty feet deep, blast
was introduced. Owing to the length of the
fuse there was a long interval after lighting it,
and Mr.. M. supposing it was extinguished
las one just before had BEEN, stepped for
ward to remove it. 1t broke, and he stepped
back from the well opening at the same mo-
ment that the blast exploded. 1t was doub-
lie charge of giant powder-equal IN force to
forty pounds of black blasting powder-and
it threw a quantity Of broken rock and earth
to great height. Mr. Mulligan is to be con-
graduated ON his almost miraculous escape

"A Cuban, by the name of John viscari-
are, has been arrested at Trenton, within the
past few days, for placing large stone weigh
ing about seventy pounds in the middle of the
railroad track, about one mile from Pen
nington. Luckily no very serious conse-
quences followed this rash experiment. When
the train arrived the locomotive struck the
stone with great violence, and broke off
large piece of timber and some Of the rods
under the locomotive. The train passed over
the obstruction, grating the bottom of the
cars. The young man was seen running
away and was taken into custody. He was
sent to Jail under bail of $1,000. He is
