Charles Bridwell, aged about 81
years, only son of Jas. NJ BridweI,
machinest of Knoxville, a brakeman
on the Cincinnati Southern railway,
was killed at Danville Junction, Ky,
Sunday night, 10th inst, by falling
under moving cars. The father of
the deceased, the Times says, met
the remains at Chattanooga, and the
scene which followed beggars de-
scription. Charlie was his only son,
and all his hopes were centered in
him, his exemplary conduct on all
occasions arousing his pride and Civ
ing promise of a prosperous future.
The remains were inferred at Knox

An alligator measuring four feet
three inches in length and weighing
fourteen and one-half pounds was
found in Shelby's pond, Nashville,
on the 18th, by parties skating on

The time has gone by when the
record Of death Of a ccntenarihn
can be coupled with any incident,
however trivial, in the life Of the
Father Of his Country. The most
that can be said now days il that
the deceased was young thing Of
twenty when Ex- President Wash
ington passed from earth. This il
said of Miss Betsy Roath, Of Eastern
Connecticut, who departed this life
last Friday evening in her one-hun-
dred and first year.

though She had lived opposite the
track Of the Norwich a Worcester
railroad for forty years, aud bad six
nephews, three Of whom we're con.
ductors and three engineers, IN its
employ, she never stepped upon a
steam car. II Is certainly a noble
record Of persistent opposition TO
! deadhoadism But this was not her
only peculiarity. "Sbe distinctly
remembered when our Government
changed It's confederate for lie prcs-
ent constitutional form; when steam
boats, railroad cars, steam machin-

entered into the dreams oftho wiscst
Of the land, and she had noticed tho
increase Of our population from the
three scattered millions that peopled
the thirteen original States, 70 tho
| fifty millions Of the present day.

Of fifty millions was reached she was
satisfied, and departed this lie In
peace.

head on the amusement question.
He says that he will not in his pull

Mr.. Josepb Smith, Jr,. of CHICAGO

Mr.. Joseph Smith, Jr., of Chicago,
says that the movement in favor of
a Disciples Church in Washington,
in honor of President Garfield, is
meeting with remarkable success.
He says that, from the encourage
ment received by him, it is believed
that fully one hundred thousand dol
lars will be raised Letters come in
from every part Of the country with
money and pledges, and the work is
only begun. Agents have been ap-
pointed for each State, and they are
appointing sub-agents, and from the
success so far met with it is evident
that there will flow into the treasu-
ry all the money that they may re-
quire. Appropos of this subject is
the following, from the New York
World, which may be news to many
Of our readers
''The parents of General Garfield
became converts to the tenets of
Alexander Campbell aboutffty three
years ago, when that leader began
to form his followers into a separate
organization in the States of Virgin
la, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.
General Garfield has not in all res
poets followed his spiritual leader,
for Mr.. Campbell maintained that
slavery was a Bible institution. He
held that every Christian should be
a teacher and did not require theo-
logical training for any teacher who
proposed to devote himself to pasto-
raj work. The fact that General
Garfield between the time of his
leaving college and accepting a State
Senatorship almost regularly
taught or preached in various
churches of the Campbellites in
Northern Ohio, made him a HDisci-
pie" clergyman in all respects but
that of having regular "fock. >

however, that he received many
"calls." He is regular member Of
the Campbellite Churca near his
residence and is said never to miss a
service. One popularity of the
''Disciples' is that after sermon the
Lords Supper" is regularly partak-

at stated intervals of weeks OF

number about three-quarters of a
million. Doubtless their establish
ment at the capital of house Of
worship, with a President and his
family as attendants upon its servi-
ces, will tend to reawaken interest
in the "Campbellite' creed and may
possibly increase their numbers.

Editor of The Times The veterinary

full success he had had in curing spav-
ins and splints with Kendall's SPAWN
Cure, and his allusiOn to using it now
in his practice for several human all
ments on account of the success he has
always had with it. The above state

gave me great faith in its efficacy, and
as had been afflicted for years with

pletely cured me wish to proclaim it
to the world as the most wonderful
discovery ever made for the benefit of
afflicted men as well as for the poor
horse, for which it was first used. AS
this remedy must be of incalculable
value to the world, 1 write this letter
to express my thankfulness to you for
ever mentioning it in your columns
and to ask another favor in behalf of
my fellow menwhO are afflicted in body
that you continue to make known to

o'clock Sunday afterneou . FIRE was
discovered in the back porch Of the
rssidence Of Mr.. J. r. Clark, In the
north west part Of Roststown TOWN.
ahlp, about one mile from Sandy Lake.
III. CLARK and his family were at his
lAther's, about sixty rods distant, and
vas the flrst to discover the fire. He
gave the alarm and the neighbors soon
gathered at tho spot and succeeded in
saving about half the contents Of the
house, but the fire had gained such
headway as to render all efforts to save
the building fruitless. Nothing is
known as to the origin of the fire.
Shortly before Mr.. Clark and family
left home they had occasion to use
q pump located on tho porch, which
was all right when they left it, but up
on attempting to draw water with
which to quench the fire, the handle
gave out, which gives occasion for sus-
picion that some incendiary had been
with it to make sure his
nefarious work. The less is estimated
at So, 600; insured for $500 on building
and contents.
