Speaker RandaIl's Mother.
Philadelphia Press.

The widow of Josiah Randall died on
Saturday evening, and her funeral will
take place tomorrow. She had nearly
completed her seventv-seventh wear.
Years ago, when the present generation
was in its swaddling clothes, the good
people of Philadelphia had a nine days
talk over the marriage of Josiah Ran
dali, then q young lawyer, and Joseph
WOrrelPs daughter; WOrrell and Ran
dali had been boon companions. Wor-
rell well-to-do in his trade as boss car
penter. Randall well-tO-do when eli
ent was found to SO far recognize his
ability as to place in his hand retain
lng-fee. The intimacy of the men led
to an introduction of Randall into Wor-
rells family. The consequence-well,
it was the old, old story GOSH Ran
dali loved "JOe" Worells daughter
and "Joe" WorrelPs daughter loved
"Josh" Randall The stern parent OBJ
jected to the match and an elopement
followed. The winsome daughter was
recOnciled to her father, but no plead
ing, however loving, could bring togeth-
er, in good fellowship, the two men who
had been boon companions. While
the whole town was agitated over
the escapade, while the friends on the
one side and friends on the other side
were angrily arguing the right or wrong
of Josiah Randalls act, the question of
his good judgment in the selection of u
wife was settled by that wife herself
Forsaking father and family friends, she,
like Ruth of old, placed her hands in
those of Joshiah Randall, and in all the
confiding nature of a true and loving
woman syllabled: "Where thou goest
l will go; thy people shall be my peo-
pie; thy God my God; and where thou
art buried there l will be buried also"
the history of Josiah Randall, his
success in life, is too familiar in every
household in this city to need repeat
ing. The family that his wife has raised
has proved the match she made in OPP
position to her family was well chosen.
To-day around her bier are grouped her
sons, honored in the law, the eldest, the
Hon. Samuel ]. Randall, the chief Of
ficer of the highest Legislative body in
the United States.

CINCINNATI has an excellent fire de
partment. The discipline is rigid, and
the best apparatus is used. A central
tower is supplied with elaborat eelectric
devices for receiving and sending out
alarms. An operator is on duty there
all the while. In order to keep him
constantly awake and vigilant, and to
learn promptly of any breaks in the
alarm telegraph wires, he is compelled
to test the circuits every twenty min
Ites, and to call every engine house
through the telephone every hour. An
ingenious automatic register records,
on card out of the operators reach,
each test of circuit Hope ID. Lock
wood has for six years been the night
operator, and during most of that time
a box, marked ''Tools," has stood lock-
ed nder his desk. The superintendent
broke it open, the other day, and found
that 1t was filled with clOckwOrk
Searching further, he found that it
could be connected by concealed wires
with the registry dial. Its use was to
make the dial register tests that were
not really made. 1t would also ring a
bell every hour. BY its means Lock
wood was awakened to make the hour
ly calls, but could skip the twenty-min-
nte tests.
