The Centennial Fiend.

Boston Commercial Bulletin It
was only half an hour before the paper
went 10 press, but be walked uner-
ringly into the editors private room,
and dropping MS hat over the warning
placard OF Busy DayShort Calls, !"
seated himself with easy bar-room po-
likeness on the table with the exchan-
ges. He was dressed IN an Ulster and
soiled RULED shirt, wore d amethyst
about the size of hook glass on his
third finger and cluster pin in his
bosom. He took seven for -a-quar-
ter" cigar from his mouth, and placing
it on the editors inkstand, remarked
confdentially:
II am going to spend some time this
year
The editor clutched his pen like a
dagger, and paving after the few hairs
on top of his head said:
In Philadelphia"
The young man spit gracefully over
his left shoulder on the new carpet
and responded:
Yes, I've done little writin' IN
my day, and bein' disengaged thissum-
mer, should like to send first-class
journal like yours
The editor fell back in his chair,
and gssped-
'.Soine letters about the Centen-
NAL"
The interviewer nodded and kicked
his No. lis pensively against the VEN
eered panels of the desk.
Would you like to be packed in
ice until your friends call for you p
said the editor gloomily, or shall we
forward your remains in an r-tight
casket?"
Then gazing sorrowfully at the
young man he put his mouth to a
speaking tube and asked:
Are any of the pressmen at hand?'
Promptly waited through the tin
tube came the reply
Red Mike and Big Dan, sir"
The would be correspondent started
up aghast, put his hat on, wrong side
in front, and buttoned the third but
ton of his coat into the second button
hole, but the newspaper man, taking no
more notice of him than he would of
dead-head advertisement, breathed
through the tube
%
them come here. Tell them there is
another of those Philadelphia Gen.
tennial fellows here, and then pull in
district telegram boy, and send for
a hearse."
Before the last words were in the
speaking tube the tails of an Ulster Goa
sailed out of the private office, and a
nervous young man, after trying the
door of the courtroom and diving into
the coal closet, reached the counting
room door, looked over his shoulder
at two brawny Milesians who had just
descended from some upper region
missed his footing for dozen stairs
ascertained his descent with heavy
bump on the first landing, and reached
the street as the editor wrote the last
word of an article on "the business

up in the box to the composition.

THE SPIRIT OF PEACE AND A
PIECE OF SPIRIT.

THE nervous man and the man o
nerve" are beautifully exemplided il
the following narration:
Philadelphia, July 13.-The session
of the Universal Peace Society 1t Car
penter's Hall this morning came 10 q
summary and peculiar termination.
About noon DR.. Charles Pinkham OF
California began to address the meeting.
His manner was excited and his remarks
were wild and disconnected. 1t soon
became manifest that he was insane, and
calls to order were heard from all points.
President Love insisted that the speaker
be allowed to proceed, and Pinkham
went on. becoming more and more ex-
cited and violent, until at length he
sprung upon a chair. brsndishirg a
sword in furious manner. At this
point several Of the members went ont
after the police, and several of the force
came in to remove the disturber, but
President Love insisted that he should
not be interfered with aud that the prin-
cirle of non-resistance be consistently
adhered to, and there was a consequent
Slearing of the hail. 4 large crowd from
4he outside gathered and there was great
excitement. At length Pinkham became
quiet and said, in explanation, that he
had been possessed of the immortal
spirit of Washington, but had at last
succeeded in shaking off the spirit. The
spirit. he explained. had attempted.
through him, to pronounce a new declar-
alton. There is great dissatisfaction at
President Loves course day and here
tofors. and members say that if he occu-
pies the chair tomorrow there viii be
no attendance.
This was worth seeing. Love is all
for love, and he and Pinkham (or Pink
'em), were the only consistent men in
the whole asenblage. We always sus-
pscted that Washington was more or less
Of . swash buckler. This statement
confirms our opinion. We admire,
above all things. Loves devoted. peace
full attitude. Before all men he exem-
pli6ed msek.eysd peace. He would
have quietly remained there and let the
luny (or. IS We suspect, wageish), Pink
ham slash his amiabls and complscsnt
head OF before he would have thought
Of calling in the police. The multitude
Who fed. ran away not only from danger
but from . heroic exempli6cation of
prinsipls and creed. Peace, cornersd,
wanted to sss warliks ccsrcion sxer-
cised. Love was willing to wait for
passion to exhaust itself and peace to
come about BY natural causes. He
doubtless remembered and consoled
himself with Whittier's lines:
% vAinly shall Virginia set her battle in array
10 vsinly shall her sqsadrons knesd the winter
snow with clay, |
She may strike the bouncing eagle. bat she dare |
net harm the dove, |
md every gate she shuts - Hate shall open |
wide to Love.

A Desperate Murder Match in Now
jersey.

We cannot recall more desperate
and summary killing match than that
| which is contained in the following
statement
Newark, n. J. july 13.-This after
noon three German brothers named
Feihern were arrested by police OFF,
GERS Dickerson and Eladen for dis
orderly conduct. On the way to the
Station house the Germans shot
Eladen dead and fatally wounded
Dickerson. The desperadoes then ran
to Dawson's tannery and called for the
foreman who had discharged them,
but not finding him they fred indis-
criminately Oh the workmen, killing
John Albus, the assistant foreman,
and wounding two others. The EN-
ployes chased the murderers into the
river and stoned them to death. The
wounded were taken to the hospital,
where one OF them, named Fisher,
died. ~Dickerson will not recover, and
the other wounded are in precarious
state. The body OF one of the Fieherns
has been recovered from the river,
and men are now engaged in dragging
for the others. The shooting had no
connection with the recent labor
troubles here. The murderers were
desperate characters, and shot inno-
cent men out Of mere deviltry. During
the excitement F. w. Dawson, pro-
prietor OF the factory where the shoot
ing occurred, was robbed Of 1880 in
checks, which he was about to deposit.
Policeman Dickerson died of his in
juries at o'clock. The deaths now
number seven-Policemen Eladen and
Dickerson, the three Fieherns, Albers
and a workman. The most intense
excitement prevails in the city, and
the summary action Of the workmen
is generally commended.
