this means the present studding that forms

leading room to the other can be made Into
a window, and another additional window can be IN

the remaining dark bedrooms. These slight improve
ments would make the present tenements comfortable
airy and healthy.

each side He would cut out one of the dark bed
rooms on each side from the second story to the
roof, and form two large aIr-chambcrs The doors
leading into these two rooms he would convert INTO
windows and on three sides of each ar-chamDer
he would insert new windows. In this way the
central hall ana four intermediate rooms would Oe

ever, would remain on each floor The changes
which he suggests would be improvements. and
would not be very expensive. AS measures of re-

FALL RIVER, Mass, July 21.-The most
serious disturbance which has occurred
here since the present labor troubles took
place tonight. A woman with her son
came here from Warren, r. l., this after
noon, and the latter a weaver, was given
work at the Mechanics Mill, and the
mother was given tenement in one of the
company's houses on Plain street. About
Z o'clock this evening women in the neigh
borhood began to make threats, and rocks
were thrown at the house and the windows
broken. The woman complained to the
police and two officers were sent to guard
the house. The crowd continued to in

Both Priest and Groom.

An abrupt marriage was celebrated in
Worcester, Mass, last Saturday evening
week. In the morning papers the Rev.
Mr.. Munson, of Missouri, advertised that
in the evening he would preach sermon
in three parts in the Advent Chapel. He
went into the pulpit and preached a SER
mon, the first two divisions being Gre
pentance' and Holiness of Sanctifica-
tion." He then opened the Bible at Mat
thew XIV and proceeded to read the para
BILE Of the ten virgins. At the sixth verse,
And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold the bridegroom cometh go ye out
to meet him." he stepped down from the
pulpit, and lady stepped forward from
one of the front pews, and, taking the
Bible, continued to read from the seventh
to the tenth verses, inclusive. Mr.. Nun
son then took the lady's right hand and
said:
"And now before God and the witnesses
do take this woman whom l hold by the
right hand to be my lawfully welded wife,
to love and cherish her as my own body un-
til Christ shall come to claim us with all
saints as his own bride, or until death shall
part US"
The woman said
"And now l take this man to be my
lawfully-wedded husband, to love, rever-
epce and obey him until the Lord himself
shall descend from Heaven with shout
and the voice of the archangel and with the
trump of God, or until death shall us
sever"
They then knet, and the man offered a
prayer. After the prayer Mr.. Munson re-
tured to his desk and closed his discourse
by urging the importance of being ready
for the coming of the Lord.

A wizards Practical loke in Court.

The New York "Herald' says: Just as
Justice Flammer was about to leave the
Tombs police court yesterday, richly
attired gentleman of tall, slim build, bear
ing striking resemblance to the popular
ideal of MeohistoEheles, walked hurriedly
to the bench. He wore a scarf-pan, repre-
senting coiling serpent with glittering
eyes; diamonds sparxled on his fingers,
and he looked quizzically out of pair Of
large Eyeglasses, while he blew clouds of
smoke from fragrant cigarette he was
smoking.
He spoke to Justice Flammer in Ger
man, and the magistrate, motioning to
Napoleon" the court interpreter, said
"This gentleman has got some COM
plant to make. l wish you would find
what the trouble is"
"Nap.," who is fat, jolly, easy-going
German, asked the stranger what he
wanted, and the latter replied, in low
tone, that he had been robbed of consid-
cradle sum of money, and wished to have
warrant for the thief's arrest.
"What's that you say, sir ?" inquired
''Nap," as he leaned forward the better to
catch the words of the stranger.
+" l say that have been robbed" roared
the gentleman, and, suddenly plunging his
hand into the inner pocket Of the interpre-
ter's waistcoat, drew forth large roll of
bills and displayed them to the magistrate.
Z say, sir, he repeated to the dumfound-
ed German, "that have been robbed, and
you must be the thief, for this is my
money"
"Nap.," began to examine his clothing
with nervous haste, and explained in a
frightened way that he knew nothing of
the money.
"What ~ exclaimed the stranger, "why
you have my ring in your waistcoat pocket
now"
Still more amazed, Nap" drew the
jewel from the pocket indicated. Every
one roared with laughter, and the magis-
Srate said, with smile
well, Mr. Hermann, think you had
better make complaint of larceny against
our interpreter"
The visitor was Hermann, the wizard,
who had accepted Mr.. Justice Flammer's
invitation to visit the City Prison and
court, and had been induced by the JUS
tice to play practical joke upon the court
interpreter.
"Ah, gentlemen, said Hermann, as the
laughter subsidized, ''may have the pleas
ure of offering you some cigarettes?' He
opened silver cigar case and drew forth
single cigarette. "They are of peculiar
brand, las you see," exclaimed the magician
He held the cigarette in the air, and a
shower of cigarettes fell from it. He po-
litely distributed a number of the cigarettes
to the court officers and spectators, and
went away with the magistrate.

tE- A farmer named McQuinn, who
lives in Pleasant Valley, Schuykill county,
was visited few days ago by gang of
eight or ten roughs, who entered the house
and demanded whisky. The farmer gave
them jug of liquor, and the men started
off with it. McQuinn then took out a
revolver and opened fire on the retreating
crowd, hitting one man in the face.
Shortly afterward the gang returned, and
seizing McQuinn unawares, beat him Sc
verely with clubs. They then laid seige to
the house, but Mrs. McQuinn, having sus-
tanned similar attacks by tramps before,
knew just how to act She withdrew to
the second story, and from the open win
dows opened brisk pistol fire upon the
invaders. The roughs were not used to
this Indian sort of warfare, and soon re-
treated.

to remove her to safer quarters. AS she
went through the streets the crowd rapid
ly increased until about one thousand men,
women and children had gathered on Bed
ford street, at the north end of the Me-
chanics' Mill, and also opposite the Office,
where number of new spinners, including
four who arrived this afternoon, were quar-
tered. Another crowd, of about half the
size, assembled at the south end of the
mill. Rocks we're freely thrown, and one

Ten policemen were sent to the mill, who
succeeded in queling the disturbance.

been speaking in Wisconsin, and last night ad-
dressed an Immense audience at Mcconnell Hall.
in this f ana A spoke with su his usual
Logan and Hon. Jose Spaulding were sitting in
his room, engaged in conversation, Senator
Chandler complained OF indigestion. Ashe had
complained of the same distressing feeling while
en- route to the city with these gentlemen, Mr..
Spaulding suggested that he remain over In the
city until Saturday night, but he said business
affairs required his attention at home, and the
order was given to have him called in the morn
ing at O'Clock. His friends then bade him
good night and left. That is the last time the
Senator was seen alive. This morning, when
AS upon repetition, silence prevailed, the clerk
effected an entrance through the transom and
found that the Senator was dead. The body
was not quite cold, and the physician, who was
present, decided that death occurred about
three hours previous to the discovery. The
face looked tranquil, showing that death was
painless. The coroner will hold an inquest.
John B. Drake telegraphed President Hayes the
sad intelligence about O'Clock.
SUDDEN CONGESTION OF LUNGS THE CAUSE.
From partial examination, DR.. McVicker.

that death was the result of sudden congestion
OF the lungs, brought about by cold which was
contracted at Janesyille. The inquest will be
held during the afternoon.

with portion OF the congressional delegation
from this state, the Union Veteran Club and
the heads Of the county militia organizations
held informal consultations at Grand Pacific to
tender the services of appropriate committees
whenever the relatives OF the deceased Senator
shall arrive from Michigan. The latter will
probably be here during the afternoon by a
special train: The funeral arrangements cannot
be made until their arrival The speech of last
night is pronounced by those who are familiar
with the Senator's campaign as by far the most

Headquarters this afternoon and unanimously
