FIRE IN WILIIsToN. - Friday night, at
about u o'clock, the large barn in the rear
OF the woodshed of William Miller was dis
covered to be on fire. An alarm was given
and the citizens turned out promptly but
the fire had made such progress that in
spite of all efforts the barn, house and
woodshed were consumed. ABORTION ofthe
contents were saved. The fire is supposed
TO have been the work of an incendlary.
The first of the stockholders rides over

These excursions (tendered by the General
Manager, Hon. d. c. Linsley) will add to
the popularity OF the road, and from IL social
AMI business point of view will be OF great
advantage to all parties concerned.

A Good Nomination.

Among the names mentioned as the prob
able nominee for Register on the Tammany
ticket is that OF Shepherd F. Knapp. Such
q nomination would be exceedingly strong,
as indicating that the Tammany leaders
recognize the necessity of satisfying public
sentiment in the selection of their candi-
dates for Office. There is not much political
significance attached to the Office Of Register,
but it is nevertheless responsible position
and one which ought to be filled by citi-

people can have full confidence Mr.

The Lesson or . Crime.

To those who have O sharpened appetite
for scandal the confession Of Gilman affords
an opportunity not to be lost. 1t will serve
many an illogical mind as ample testimony
against religion and as sufficient proof
that all who profess life of holiness are
necessarily knaves and hypocrites. It will
enable those who, for reasons best known
to themselves, keep aloof from the Church
to sneer to their hearts content, and to de-
clare, with all the positiveness of infalli-
bility. that whenever Q man says he is q
Christian he is, for that very reason, either
fool or q thief.
higher philosophy, however, teaches US
that certain moral principles are true even
when those who profess them are bad. Ii q
criminal puts on the garb Of sanctity that
he may the better serve his own purposes,
or if man who has the honest record OF
years behind him is tripped and falls, it
does not follow that the Church is at fault
or that the Sermon on the Mount is mere
rhapsody. There are counterfeit bills, per-
haps in large numbers, floating about in the
general currency Of the country, yet they do
not affect the value Of bill that is genuine.
No man refuses one greenback because an
other greenback is bad. The fact that there
are counterfeits in circulation only serves
to make us look at each bill with q more
critical eye and to set higher value on it
when we are assured that it is Of the govern
ment issue.
Gilmans letter is the saddest piece Of
literature we have ever seen. 1t exposes
the weakness Of man whom not even re-
ligious associations and constant participa-
tion in charitable work could keep honest
He was not made criminal by his religion,
but became criminal in spite Of religion.
The natural tendency Of his friendships,
which were certainly among that class Of
men and women whose influence goes TO
strengthen rather than to undermine ones
character, was to buttress his moral
principle and to show him the awful con-
sequences Of guilt. And yet, with all these
upholding forces, he fell. He is oil the
more to blnme because by education and
social position he was made fully aware Of
the iniquitous character of the life he was
leading.
There is, moreover. o moral attached to
this sad story which must not be overlooked.
Gilman's great fault was q lack Of moral
courage. When he found it impossible to
meet his expenses he was more afraid Of
public opinion than Of positive guilt. It
was harder to move into . small house and
openly enter upon an incisiye retrenchm ent
than to run the risk of forgery. The newt
able logic Of law overlook him, and he is
now paying the penalty of his weakness
From such disaster the young men Of New
York ought to receive timely warning. 1t
is better to be poor than to be guilty; better
to live within your means, and lose. il need
be, the friendly nod Of those who lift their
hats to the capital rather than the character
you represent than to spend money which
is not your own and finally end your career
in disgrace, leaving blotted naIAe to those
who love you. Honesty and manliness are
always triumphant in the end.
So drops the curtain on another tragedy.
