ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS.

The usual cOncomitant Of first class
Fourth of July was present yesterday in
the shape of heated weather, for no one
was found among the prospecting humanity
that gladdencd this city with their presence
who could successfully deny the fact that
Yesterday was a ''corker' so far as the
weather was concerned. The thermometer
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon registered an
even hundred, but the weather moderated
perceptibly after that hour and became
quite comfortable during the evening.
A man by the name of Lee from Gable
was thrown from buggy during the morn

Bengston's drug store, where he soon re
covered.
Geraldine, the trapeze performer in the
circus, injured herself yesterday afternoon,
in making the leap from the trapeZe bar to
a netting beneath. Her neck was severely
strained. In consequence of this accident
she did not appear during the evening per-
formance.
A number of persons were visibly and
uncomfortably affected by the liquor and
holiday lemonade which they imbibed dur
ing the day.
DAVENPORT AND MOLINE
In Davenport the soldiers monument
was unveiled and dedicated. The cere
monies were performed during the morn
ing and attracted a fair audience.
On arriving at the grounds where the
monument is located, Gen. Jas. B. Leakt
of Chicago delivered carefully prepared
address which elected hearty applause.
In Moline picnics were the order of the
day, as Brooks grove was the scene of sew
eral such gatherings. The Land Leagt
Messrs. McElhern and Mees were the or
ators.
FIRE CRACKERS.
The rapidity with which the salute was
fired at the Island yesterday was generally
commented upon. -Four pieces of ordf
nances were used, and each gun was
handled by seven men.
Chas. Stewart of the Muscatine com
pany became Frustrated by the heat while
marching in the procession at Davenport
yesterday.
In speaking of the procession in Daven-

PRIEST. ARTIHUR's FAMILY
a Likelihood that One of His
Sisters Will be Mistress Of the
White House.

The household now called to the
White House by the death of Presi-
dent Garfield has no lady presiding
over it. President Arthur lost his
wife year ago last January, and
acute feeling over her loss is among
the sad reflections which press upon
the President at this time She was
the daughter of Lieutenant Comman-
der Herndon, of the United States
Navy, who went down on his ship,
the Central America. A gold medal
in recognition Of his bravery was
voted by Congress to his widow, and
a monument to his memory was cree
ted in the Naval Academy grounds
at Annapolis. Mr.. Arthur married
Miss Herndon in the early part of
his career as a lawyer in New York
city. He has two children-one a
youth of II named after his father,
but called Allan by the family, the
other, girl of II, named Nellie.
These, with the servants, constitute
the household of the modest Lexing-
ton avenue residence.
The President has one brother,
Major VIM, Arthur, of the regular
army. He has three married sisters.
OF these Mrs. Mary McEroy, of AL
bany, has spent much time at his
house Of late, and has looked as
much after his household affairs as
she could
President Arthur's accession to his
new responsibilities has been too re-
cent for him to give any considera-
tion to family arrangements for his
residence at Washington, but if the
cares of her own family will permit
Mrs. McElroy will be the lady who
will preside in the White House.

THE ORlOLE.
Busy Preparations. Engage.
ment of the Famous Gilmore.
Marine and Other 1Ba ndS. Re.
marl<ably Brilliant Spectacle
Promised.

Every man, woman and child in
Baltimore appears to be growing in
terested in the Oriole, and anxious to
contribute something toward making
it the most memorable success ever
known in the country. That it will
be, now passes without argument.
The Oriole will be incomparably finer
in every way than last years celebra-
ton, and to the general public will
have more interest in an hour than
that had in day. Not but what
the Sesqui-C Centennial was perfect
and unparalleled success, but it was
to certain extent local glorifica-
ton of deep interest to Baltimoreans
and Of more or less attractiveness to
strangers. On the other hand the
Mardi Gras Pageant will possess re-
markable attraction for all the guests
as well as the citizen. Its features
will be of general character and the
effects produced will be brilliant and
dazzling in the extreme. There will
be fully three miles of the most bril-
liant tableaux of majestic proper
tons and exquisite construction.
The subject portrayed will not be
disclosed until the night of the pa
geant, lending mystic character to
it and increasing the interest. Those
who have never witnessed a Mardi
Gras can form no conception of its
splendor and beauty. The novelty
of having it under hundreds Of cleo
trio lights will greatly enhance the
effect and carry the beholder to the
fullest realization of the most vivid
Imagination of the wonders of the
Arabian Nights. The musical adj
juncts to the pageant promise OF
themselves to be worth a journey to
hear.
AT the head of the pageant will be
the famous Gilmore Band from New
York in magnificent uniform and
numbering sixty five of the best mu
sicians Of the Metropolis. The cele
brated Marine Band of Washington
has been engaged as have all the
Baltimore bands and those of ada
cent cities. In addition to taking
part in the Oriole pageant Gilmore'1
Band will give grand open air con
cert on Wednesday afternoon ant

SCENES AT THE CEMETERY.
Obseq uies of tiae Late President
Garfield.
The Last Sad Rites Performed.

Special TO the Commercial Gazette.
CLEVELAND, September 26.-The
last scene of the obsequies of the ma
tion's dead Chief Magistrate closed
to-day with splendor rarely if ever
equalled in this country. The sultry
heat which prevailed up to two o clock
made the great length of the pageant
ry oppressive both to the spectators
and partakers. AT 9 o'clock the en-
trance to Monumental Park was
closed to the crowds which have been
passing through to view the cata-
falque all night, and from that time
none were admitted save the favored
holders of badges. The number of
these who entered the park and lined
drives reached some thousands by
ten o'clock.
THE ARRAY OF DISTINGUISHED MEN
who occupied the stand to the south
of the pavilion was rarely, if ever
equalled outside of Washington. On
the first row, Immediately back of the
space reserved to the press. were
prominent the picturesque homely
face of Chief Justice White, and the
attractive features of Justice Stanley
Matthews. On the same range were
seen General Sherman IN full uniform
with plumed hat, threadbare from

long use, the smooth shaver face of
Rear Admiral Rodgers, with Phil
Sheridan's grizzled mustache next,
and place or two further on the
towering form of General Hancock.
SCENES AT THE CEMETERY.
The scene at the cemetery was in
tentionally brief and marred by the
commencement of rain, which had
been threatened by black clouds in
the southwest for some hours. At
two clock the head Of the process
sion reached the cemetery and filed
off to the side streets without enter
ing. The arrival was signalled to
the waiting multitude by signal
gun from Wade Park. .-.,.
Shortly after the rain commenced
to fall and continued with intermit-
ting showers until at quarter be-
fore four the funeral car drew up be-
fore the receiving vault where the
body is to lay till the permanent
tomb is constructed. The space in
the park has been covered with floral
decorations of which sad havoc was
made by the dashing of the rain,
while the large black canopy
stretched over the door of the vault
afforded little shelter. The rain had
ceased for a few moments as the cor
tege drew up in circle at the door
of the vault, but none of the family
'alighted and but few of the guests in
carriages. A few short remarks by
Chaplain Jones, the singing of the
fourth ode of Horace by the German
singing societies and the benediction
by President Hinsdale, of Hiram col
lege, comprised all the ceremonies.
The latter part was gone through
under a heavy shower.
Shortly after four o'clock the last
word had been said and the last pray
er had been uttered over all left to
earth of James A. Garfield, and the
last cavalcade dispersed to all parts
of the city. The body will remain
in the vault where it is at present.
Mrs. Garfield has expressed her APP
proval of the site spoken of near Wade
monument, but some preparation is
required before the body can be pla-
ced there.

How TO WRITE FOR PAPER
Communication should be brief, and
there are several reasons for this. In
the first place, newspaper space is
valuable The modern newspaper is
never troubled with the old time
complaint of needing something to
fill up" The editors scalpel in con-
stantly reeking from the slaughter of
live news matter and interesting mis-
cellany. Short communications are
much more likely to find readers than
long ones are, and unless they are to
be read it is much better not to pub
lish them. More contributions can
be represented where the articles are
short than when they are long,
and one man has as strong claim
upon the columns as another, provid-
ed he furnishes as interesting matter.
A short article is usually more pithy
and pointed than long one. A sub
ject should have many ramifcations
to demand more than half column
in newspaper, while all that can be
said even from that limit up to a

great military, fire and civic parade,
Monday the 10th; the Mardi gras,
Tuesday The 18th; and the Carnival

The federal office holders in Vir-
ginia have been assessed two per
cent. of their salaries to aid in the
election of the Malone reputation
ticket, which if successful will dis
grace the old commonwealth forever.
James D. Brady, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue at Petersburg, Va, has
written to W. H. Lyons, Superintend-
ent of Machinery at the Norfolk Ma
Wy Yard, and directed him to levy
assessments On clerks, the port mas
ter and all other employees of two
per cent. of their salaries. This vir-
tuous Lyons openly says that as the
collecting of money for political pur
poses is forbidden in the Navy Yard,
he will station himself at the gate be-
tween the hours of II and l o'clock
each day to receive the contributions.
And he further announces that he
will remain at his house from to 10
o'clock for the same purpose. In his
letters there is no attempt at conceal
ment. The dirty work is done bold
ly and openly in defiance of law.
Now will our republican civil service
rcformers take cognizance of this
fact. Some of the republicans who
bought Malone are among the loud
est mouthed civil service reformers
and parade their devotion to it before
their constituents on all occasions.
How will they answer this? But
with all their rascality, money and
meanness, they will not debauch Vir-
ginia. The decenter republicans
have denounced them and their meth
DDS and it is to be hoped they will be
politically blotted out forever at the
election this fall, and we have no
doubt they viii be.
