a devoted service TO his God, aid his quiet,
unostentatious ways were admired by a
very wide circle of acquantanSes. His SER

sketch Of his life, from which we are pef-
mitted to quote the following;

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. %, 1879.
The annual holiday hegira has already
set in here, and there will not be much bust
ness in the atmosphere of the Capitol for two
weeks to come. congressman and Senators
are striking out for home, and the usual
quasi closing of the Departments will take
place during Christmas week, so that Wash
ington folks will have little TO do beyond
eating, drinking and merry making. But
as a rule they will do that, and all that the
term implies. The holiday season is a fes-
tive one here. The thousands of Govern
ment employees turn themselves loose, each
after the inclinations of his own heart, but
generally to spend a months salaryin max
ing things pleasant and Iyely-many of
them after the most approved fashion in the
days Of David and Solomon. The family
people are amusing themselves buying
knick-nacks and goody goodies for the little
ones. last year, notwithstanding the pre-
valing hard times, the sales Of dealers in all
classes Of holiday goods We're Gbout as large
as ever known here, and this year the stocks
displayed indicate great expectations in the
same line To-day, and so it will be every
day until after Christmas, the aggregation OF
small sbops or Seventh street are perfect
beehives, and in the evening the street is al
most impossible. This means that there !;

there is no reason why Government clerks
should feel hard times, when they exist
for they get their-$l 200 or 81 500 yea,
from Uncle Sam just as regularly then, anC
they have all the advantages of REDUCED
prices and living expenses:

AssnuIt with Intent.

4 few days ago, says the IIazleton Sentinel,
while Mary Rough, daughter of Hiram
Rough Of Stockton, was getting water from
a spring short distance in the woods near
the town, she was assaulted by Thomas
Rourke with the purpose of committing an
outrage on her person. Rourke is a young
man Of about twenty-five years, and his
victim ahalfdemsnted young woman, whose
infirmity OF mind should have been shield
against any such design, Her struggles and
cries for help prevented the accomplishment
of his purpose, but did not end the matter
| Coming to town with her friends she visited
! Squire Roberts, who on hearing her story is
sued warrant for the arrest of Rourke and
| placed it in the hands Of Officer Dcpue, who
visited Stockton and securing his prisoner
brought him to town. At the hearing Miss
Rough related the facts of the assault in a
straight iorwrrd manner and Rourke falling
to make any defense was bound over under
$500 bail for appearance at court. Suisse
quently the father of the girl settled the
matter, Rourkes father paying him some-
thing less than a hundred dollars and also
the costs.

ton Loans Taxable.

Attorney General Palmer, in communi-
cation to Auditor General Schnell, expresses
the opinion that Building and Loan Associ-
atoms are subject TO the three mill tax un-
der the Provisions of the General Revenue
law passed last winter. The Attorney Gen
eral says: "Whateyer may have been the
legislative intent, the words of the act are
too plain to be doubted, and, if far less plain
I should think this proper case to be set
tied by the Courts" 1t is probable that the
Building and Loan Associations will resist
the collection of the tax, with n view to ar
rive at the construction of the law by the
courts The Attorney General has also de-
clded that the loans and bonded indebtedness
of corporations are liable to the tax of foul
mills imposed by the revenue law, and that
it is the duty ofthe officers to deduct the taS
from the interest due on such loans, and pay
it into the Treasury, unless the bond.
are held by nonresident holders, whom
the Supreme court has decided, are exempt
from taxation. Under this decision the
revenues of the State will be largely in
creased.

3l6 MAIN STREET,
CheaD Killing.

The jury in the case of VIM. and
Rachel Boregard, for killing a man
named Wright, yesterday returned a
verdict of guilty and sentenced the
couple tofve years in the penitentiary.
The murder of Wright was one of the
most atrecious in the annals Of crime,
aud the numbering pair ought to thank
their stars. that they were let off SO
easily. 1t is understood, however,
that they are determined to carry
their cast to the Supreme Court.
Boregard is d rufian of the most
positive type, if looks, actions or
words are worthyof consideration. His
wife is one of the hardest looking
specimens Of femininity in this or any
community. In talking over the sub
ject during the deliberations of the
jury on Saturday last, Boregard told
his wife that the next time she hit a
man she must finish him in good fash
ion, then there would be zone of this
foolishness. The murder of Wright,
it will be remembered, took place
some twelve miles above this city.
After clubbing and crushing Wright
head the couple turned him adrift on
the river in a skif, his ten year old
son being his only companion, and as
the boat hoated from the bank
Wright's hands were smashed by a
blow from an a or a boat pole. The
skiff drifted down to Presidents
Island where it lodged against the
bank, and where poor Wright died in
the woods, his little boy alone witness.
ing his expiring agonies. Later the
boy was adopted by a gentleman o.
this city, and the innocent lads rela.
ton of the inhuman crime showed the
circumstances to have been horrible
in the extreme. The lad died TOWARD
the close of December last of enlarge.
ment of the brain. He was a sprightl,
and intelligent youth, and was mucl

THE CLEANERS
Our sanltarians in Council.

A meeting of the sanitary auxiliary
committee wal held yesterday after
noon at their rooms in the Bank Of
Commerce, on Madison street, Messrs.
P~restidge, Greene, Nillins. Goodwin
and DR.. Boggs being present
Mr.. George w. Reynolds has been
engaged to write up the sanitary coun-
ellis books, and to stay in the Office at
all hours to receive reports.
Sanitary Sergeant Broaddus reported
his weeks business, and exhibited a
statement that 26O loads Of stuff we're
hauled to the dump in that time also
1856 loads of broken bricks have been
used to fill up holes and wet places.
He paid out during tho week S1lS.5O.
The cleaning up and renovation has
been mainly on Linden, Shelby, Beal
aud fernando streets, around Court
Square and St. Patrick's church.
1t was resolved that the expediency
Of establishing regular hack stands by
the city authorities be inquired into,
as we'll as that of abolishing the stands
around Court Square, the same being
regarded as a nuisance and d%estruc-
tive to shade trees,
A suitable bathing boat to be used
free by the public a be procured
at a cost of 5000. Further action is to
be reported at a future meeting.
The advisability of making further
contracts to pave public streets is to
be considered.
The subject of cleaning privy vaults
and the best way to render them in
offensive was well ventilated in a gen
eral discussion. as well as that of DR..
Boggs' new water filter, which latter
will cost from $3.50 to So each. 1t is
stated that from twelve to fifteen gal
Ions Wolf river water can be purified
in one of them each day. Messrs.
Willins, Goodwin and Eiseman were
made a committee to devise means to
induce people to use filters and not
cistern water.
