Eds. Independent.
Your Morgan correspondent
seems sadly lacking in that spirit
of charity which should always
characterize an independent press.
In his last article he first gives to
the public the impression that /
am responsible for an "overdrawn
and sensational" account of an ac-
cident and then he insinuates q
suppression of news by the
Morgon Mercury, because that pa
per failed TO notice that "dreadful
stage risk Now, as a reader of
the Mercury, he mnst be aware
that its editor received from Mai.
Sam. Dawson, "a remarkable Christ
mas turkey and an equally re-
markable note, both of which he
must be allowed time to digest.
Until friend Trimble gets the taste
of that turkey out of his mouth, he
cant reasonably be expected TO
chronicle such trivial events MS
the occasional killing of a super
fiuous lawyer, or even the partial
destruction OF stage-coach. II
would be idle for me to ask that
any charity be shown to a lawyer,
but certainly your correspondent
should exhibit a little towards his
brother of the Mercury.
So far as my statement will be
accepted by your readers. they are
assured that your account of our
accident is trustworthy in every
particular.
Very respectfully yours,
j. Nice. DUCKwALL.

pices of the Paulist Fathers, has at
tracted large audiences The large
church is crowded to its full
est capacity every night. The
services consist each night, of a lee
ture by Rev. Father Smith, of New
York, and sermon by Rev. Father
Elliott, of Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The object of the Mission is to teach
penance and impart instruction.
Revs. Father Elliott and Smith are
both eloquent and forcible speakers,
and the sermons Of Father Elliott
are practical, forcible and eloquent
in an eminent degree. His discourse
on Wednesday night, in which he
drew an allegorical picture of the
great day of judgment, was power
full presentation of the subject, and
must have impressed all who heard
it with the terrible condition of
those who shall appear at the bar of
justice in that great day, without
the favor of God.

When the freight train on the
New Jersey and New York Rail-
road reached Lodi Junction, N. j.,
one evening last week, Conductor
Birley, as his train was about to
take up some empty freight cars
standing on a switch, was startled
by savage growl. Holding his
lantern up and peering in the di-
rection whence the noise came, he
saw the shaggy coat Of a large
grizzly bear, which, with its keep
err, occupied one of the empty cars.
Turning, the conductor ran, and in
the other end was another bear
with his keeper. They were trav-
cling showmen, who had crawled
into the empty car to rest. The
bears, on seeing the conductor,
showed their teeth and claws.
and the conductor shouted TO
the brakemen, "Good heavens,
boys, look out for yourselves
This car Is full of bears"
The brakemen scattered like
sheep. One started on a full run
up the Lodi branch, while two
others jumped on top of the cars.
and a fourth boxed for a short cut
to Hackensack. The fireman, hav-
ing read that animals will not app
proach fire, mounted the head
light. After a while the engineer,
seeing no signs ofthe enemy, de-
scended from his cab and began
looking about for the other men.
He found Conductor Birley stand
ing at bay in the baggage car with
coupling link in each hand and
an expression of determination on
his face. AS it was impossible to
GUST the intruders, they were car
ried down the road, but there was
not brake used on that car that
night.

by competent teachers. The exami-
