At the races which took place in Gardiner
last week, the 80 race was won in three
straight heats by Young Fearnaught. One Of
the remarkable features of this race was that
three horses put in their time in such a man
ncr as to win the same position, meriting an
equal distribution of the three last monies. a
circumstance, it is said, that never happened
ON New England race track before.

George A. Allen, Esq, of Pennington,
leading lawyer of this county and of the
State, died rather suddenly at five o'clock on
last Thursday MOI ming. He was attacked on
the Tuesday afternoon previous with apo
piexy and remained in an unconscious con-
dition until his death. He had had previous
attacks of the same kind. Mr.. Allen was a
native of Connecticut, having been born in
Westport, about fifty-seven years ago. He
removed to this county and studied law in the
office of James N. Reading, Esq. In 1914 he
was admitted to practice and settled in Lam
bertvills and practiced here for about two
years, when be removed to Pennington, where
he has since lived. For years he was prom
iuent Republican, but never sought an office.
That he was man who was wholly aciuated
by principle in his political affiliations is
shown by the fact that his personal interests
could have been greatly subseryed by con-
hccting himself with the opposite party.
In 1868 he became one of the proprie-
Tors OF the Huntcrson Republican, which
paper he edited for some years. As a lawyer,
he was learned, and fertile in expcdients to
aid his clients. His untiring efforts to win all
eases commit 4 to him, whether his f e was
Small or great, was a peculiar characteristic
of the man, and won him numerous patrons.
His funeral took place yesterday from his res
iden ,, and was at ,nded by prominent men,
bers of the legal and other professions, and
by numerous friends from various parts of the
county, and state.

Reaville. MI. Dec. 18th. '7s.

Reaville, N. j., Dec. 10Th, '7S.
This village was aroused last evening by the
announcement that the Clover Hill Church
was on fire. Your correspondent Immediate
ly proceeded to the scene Of the fire. Upon
our arrival at Glover Hill, we found the fire
to be at the barn and outbuildipgs of Garret
Schenck, about fifty yards from the church
and about the same distance from the store.
Two colored boys were suspected They had
been in the store to get couple of matches
to light their pipes, about fifteen minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered. Some gentlemen
went in pursuit of them, and they were found
in tenement house on the farm of Abraham
Van Doren, about three-fourths of mile dis
tant. 1t was occupied by colored man.
They were brought to Clover Hill and taken
before Squire Ira Higgins, of Wertsyile, and
given hearing. One Of them acknowledged
having seen the other jump over in the barn
yard and out again in about two minutes. -
They then went on about quarter of a
mile and looked back and discovered the fire.
He would not acknowledge having any
thing to do with it, nor did he know who had
set the buildings on fire. They were met on
the road by James Scudder, who was on his
way to the village, and that led to their being
suspected. Squire Higgins sent them over to
Fort Belden, at Pennington. to await the ac-
tions of the Grand Jury in the April term Of
our courts.
The stock and farming utensils, excepting
the threshing machine, were all got out. The
corn crib was lot of corn belonging to Rev.
Mr.. Oliver. The hay and fodder of Mr.. B.
were burned. This will prove serious loss
to both Mr.. Schenck and Mr.. Oliver. Mr..
Schcnck was insured in the Hillsborough Mu-
tual for buildings and contents, $685. 90,
which will not reach half his loss B.

ELECTRIC LIeHT. John Wanamaker flood
ed his eight acres nf merchandise in his grand
depot in Philadelphia with electric light on
Thursday evening. Only six burners were
used, and even with this number the interior
of the building presented more the appear
ance of daylight than artificial light. The
resemblance to sunlight is SO close that the
most delicate shades in silk ribbons could be
distinguished with unerring certainty. In
most cases the matching of goods by gas
light is impossible, but under the electric
light the difficulty is entirely overcome.
There are in the depot $500 gas burners,
and as near as can be ascertained, the cost of
using this number of burners for five hours is
$500, or about $40, 900 per year. The cost of
putting in the new electric light is $4,000,
and the cost per night of running the twenty
four burners will be 1910 for five hours. Al.
lowing $1,000 per annum for the necessary
use of gas in the Offices and basement, the
saving to Mr.. Wanamaker will be $4,000 per
war

There have been various indications that
the millennium did not arrive with the access
OF the Democracy to power in the Southern
States. Peace has not spread it's white wings
to any great extent since the withdrawal of
the military, and, remarkable as it may ap-
pear, finances did not gain the unruffied SER
entity of the Bank of England Immediately up
on the swearing Of Governors Nichols. Hamp-
ton, ct al. The statement of the Auditor of
Louisiana, just made, shows deficit of 331
per cent. in the revenues, and the State Ma
tional Bank has been requested to help out in
paying the interest falling due January 1.
There is evidently some mistake about all
this, for the prophets Of the Democracy could
not have been so utterly wrong in their pre-
dictions of the glorious future of the South
under the rule of that party.

on extravaganza of Republican rule In the
South, but comparison between the admin

and the present Democratic Governor Nichols
shows immensely to the disadvantage of the
latter The former reduced the public debt
by SIC, 000,0 and taxes by two-thirds. The
latter has squandered $500, 600 in the treasury,
run behind $400, 900, and is about to default

THE BEAUTIFUL INDIAN mA1DENs.

The thaidens of the famous Seneca tribe
Of Indians who once roamed over the pic
tureeqne aud beautiful valleys and lofty
hills of the upper Allegheny river (now the
famous oil regions of Pennsylvania were
noted among all the neighboring tribes for
the wealth and beauty of their tresses,
which were of remarkable length and ex.
quisite fneness of texture, and in color SO
black, that the simile of the ravens wing
was hardly just comparison; an elegant
background that brought out the olive
brown complexion of the maidens, and
formed an exquisite and charming picture
of savage female loveliness delightful to be.

beauty and of such extreme length was
deep, puzzling mystery to the inaidens of
all the ncighboring tribes, and was source
of continual jealousies on their part. 1t
has long remained mystery, and would
no doubt have died away altogether with
the rest of the Indian traditions had not
the discovery of petroleum oil furnished
the cue, and mankind now possesses the
great secret which had remained sealed
within the Third Sand rock of oblivion,
until released by the hand of scientific in
dustry it gushes forth in treasures of petrol
cum TO the world. But the knowledge was
practically useless to the prematurely bald
and gray, as no one in civilized society could
tolerate the use of refined petroleum as q
dressing for the hair. But the skill Of one
of our chemists has overcome the difficulty,
and, by process known only to himself,
he has, after very elaborate and costly ex-
perments, succeeded in deodorizing pc.
troleum, which renders 1t susceptible of
being handled as dantily as the famous
eau de cologne. The experiments with the
deodorized liquidzo on the human hair were
attended with the most astonishing results
A few applications, where the hair was thin
and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor
tothe scalp and hair. Every particle of dam

this article gradually imparts a beautiful
light brown color to the hair, which, by
continued use, deepens TO a black. The
color remains permanent for an indefinite
length of time, and the change is SO grad

town. The testimony Of Mason was corrob-
GRATED by that Of Carkhuf who testified that
musk was put in the liquor bought of Weir,
and that the defendants offered to divide the
booty with him if he would keep still. The
defendants denied that they had taken Ma

of its loss, which must have occurred before
they met him, or by accident, while walking,
