SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT
Scarcely a week ago q colorcd man
was crushed to death in Tradd street
while attempting to mount loaded
rice truck. On Friday another fatal
and equally singular accident occurred
in the same street, which resulted in
the death Of Alexander Edgar. Il white
bov about three years old. 1t seems
that Mr.. Castcllo, who resides in
Tradd street, was engaged in the work
Of repairing the gate leading to his
residence. He was standing upon
brrrcl mailing upon the gate post,
when the whole affair gave way and
fell upon the sidewalk, Mr.. Castcllo
falling upon it. Some persons in the
vicinity came to the assistance of Mr..
Castcllo, and upon raising him from
the gate and the gate from the ground
found the body Of the child lying TN
derneath, its head so badly crushed
that it died in a few moments. The
little fellow was passing at the time,
and had stopped in front of the gate
TO hear an organ and see monkey

farmers are receiving advanced prices for their
products, and it is acknowledged by all that in no
part Of our country are the evidences of prosper
ity and comfort so marked as along the entire
line OF the "OId Rellable'' Hannibal d st Joseph
Railroad. And to attain these results the man.
agement of the Hannibal & st Joseph Railroad
have given their careful thought and attention,

evidences that their efforts are fully appreciated.

the youngest son of Hon. w. J. Gilmore,
and well may the father and mother feel
proud OF him for his manly perseverance
to do for himself. Would that more of
our young men in Eaton possessed his in
dustrious qualities.
We are informed the Mayor has ap-
pointed our friend Jos. FAssNAcHT,
Councilman, to fill the vacancy occasion
ed by the resignation of q. w. Churchill.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Fassnacht came with
in four votes of an election last April,
and is a citizen of good judgment and
sound sense, we think Mayor Abbott act
ed wisely in making the appointment.
At least those who sustained Mr.. Fass-
nacht at the polls ought to be pleased
with this action of our Mayor.

The Sunday School which has been
held through the summer at the Concord
Church, closed for the winter last Sum
day. The exercises were of a very inter
esting character. The report of the Sec
rotary showed an average attendance of
'120, and the highest number of verses
committed from the Bible was nearly
1900. Mr.. Brouse, the Supt., and the
teachers and people out there deserve
much credit for the lively interest they
have awakened and kept~up in the good
work. A very large audience was pres
ent at the close Of the school. The choir
rendered excellent music. John NJ.
Dougherty, and Mr.. Skardon, of our
town, made a short speech each, and
Mayor Abbott made a lengthy address,
showing the beauty of the harmonious
development Of the moral, physical and
mental faculties of mankind, and eulo-
gized the happy influence of Sunday
Schools as a tendency in the right direc-
ton for such a development of the young.
From what we hear of the meeting, we
congratulate the people of Concord and
vicinity upon the success of the school
and of the closing exercises.

sum of money; but in spite of the nu-
merous munifcent donations of mer-
chants, bankers and others who recOg-
nize the value of the regiment and owe
it many a good turn for services rem
dered, actual and in the way of preven-
ton iu times of civil disturbance, the
boys haven't got enough money yet to
pay for their gorgeous new armory.
This is situated on Fourth avenue and
Sixty-sixth street, occupying an entire
city square, through to Lexington ave-
nue. and Sixty-seventh street, and is an
imposing edifice with towers, drill halls
and company and officers rooms, ETC.,
in the most liberal supply. The ladies
have rallied to the support of their ball
room and archery ground partners, and
grand fair is to be opened in the main
drill hall next Monday. 1t will I'M
doubtedly be a blaze of beauty and
fashion, under the electric lights which
are to form a permanent portion of the
fixtures of the great establishment.
And, by the way, talking about electric
lights, l shall have something to say
shortly as to their marvellous recent de-
velOpment here.
Thirteen days without food is apt to
reduce strong man to very light
weight. Such was the fate of a stOwa-
way on one of the English steamers
which arrived at this port few days
ago. On taking out the cargo, breath
ing skeleton was found who had sought
free passage to this free country. In
utter darkness, without mOrsel to eat
or a drop to drink, the poor wretch had
passed through unutterable anguish.
The packing-cases which encircled his
emaciated body were gnawed all over.
OF course he died. 1t was simply i'm
possible to restore strength to system
so cruelty taxed. This is the second
instance of the kind within year with
the same line of steamships, and it
seems as if some more careful watch at
the docks might prevent the recurrence
of such CHASTITY calamity. Stealing,
whether passage, a pin, or million
dollars is bad, but starving to death is a
too severe punishment.
The Italian traffic in professional
beggars is one of those things which
has come upon us within a very few
years, and has been energetically pro-
tested against in every possible way.
Offenders have been hunted down re-
morselessly and severely punished, but
still it goes on. The latest case was the
arrival of two eX-mOnks, hunchbacks,
several small iddleIs and harpers, and
blind man, at Castle Garden. The
emigration authorities had been mott
fed from Italy, and stopped the con-
Segment on the dock. 1t appears the
traders in this horrid human merchan-
disc actually prepare cripples for the
market. They buy children young, and
scar their eyes with hot irons, or twist
their limbs with bandages till they grow
distorted, on purpose to make them live
life of beggary. kidnapping Africans
and making them work under the lash
was really mild thing to do in COM
parison with this method of Italian
small capitalists to turn a dishonest
penny by the misery of their own kin

His commission as major general dated
from that action.
His next splendid achievement was in
driving Lees army over South noun
tain: at Antietam he was less fortu-
nate. his attack on Lees left failed,
and he received a musket ball in his
foot which compelled him to retire from
the field. Shortly after he was made
brigadier general in the regular army.
In the very end of 1862 he succeeded
Burnside in command of the army of
the Potomac, and there followed the
disastrous battle of Charlottesville,
the most unfortunate error and blot
upon his record as general. Disagree
ing with Gen. Halleck in the plan of the
next great campaign against Lee, he
was relieved from the command, and
thus it came that Gen. Meade won the
decisive battle of Gettysburg. His
career was not ended, however, for
transferred to the western army, he took
a principal part in the engagements
which disposessed the cOnfederates of
the mountains of east Tennessee, fight
ing there the picturesque battle ''among
the clouds" of Lookout Mountain, and
clearing Missionary Ridge. No one
will forget his fierce wrath when it was
reported two years ago that Gen. Grant
had called the "battle among the
clouds" sensational fiction. He fought
the battle over again in the newspapers
with more ardor than discretion. After
the war Gen. Hooker commanded vari-
Gus military departments, retiring from
duty in 1868.
Gen. Joseph Hooker was born SOL
dier, and met everything in life with
the temper of a soldier who loves to
fight; never was man more Justly
dubbed by the popular voice. Tall,
robust, erect, handsome, ford, keen of
eye, with the instinct of combat and
the inspiration of command, he had al
most unbounded influence over men in
the ranks, and when he was thoroughly
himself could draw from them prOdigies
of achievement and of endurance. He
was one of those generals who do not
send orders from behind, but cry "Come
on ~ at the front. He was strong in
personal leadership, not in deliberate
direction. He was much beloved; few
men of note had so many warm and
personal friends, and he will leave be-
hind him no enduring enmity .-Spring-

The November Elections.

Eleven states held elections on Tues
day, five only electing full state tickets,
namely, Massachusetts, New York,
Maryland, Minnesota and Wisconsin,
Connecticut, Virginia, New Jersey and
Mississippi, elected Legislatures; Penn
sylvania voted for state treasurer.
The greatest interest centered in
New York and Massachusetts. In the
old Bay State Butler is again defeated
The total vote was less than in 1878, as
was expected. Lieut.-GUv. Long is
promoted by smaller plurality than
Gov. Talbot gained last year-probably
about $4,000. Adams's vote stands
about where Abbott's did, and will
scarcely rise much over 10000 in the
state. The prohibitionists polled only
about 400 votes. The Republicans
elect all but two councillors, one of them
Kingman. Both branches of the Legis-
lature will be Republican by large ma
jorities.
The result of the elections in Other
states is very favorable to the Republi-
cans. In New York Mr.. Cornell has
been elected Governor, but the rest OF
the state officers elected are Democrats
the Legislature are strongly Republi-
can. In Pennsylvania the Republican
majority is very large, probably
upward of $4,000. In New Jersey Re.
publican gains are reported, and the
control of the Senate at least is assured
TO that party. Great gains have beer
made in Connecticut. The Legislator,
will have the immense majority of 9:
on joint ballot in favor of the Republi
cans, closely approaching that given t,
them Immediately after the successful
termination Of the war. In Maryland
the indications are that the Democratic
