became entangled in the cradle and in his
struggles had one of his fore feet complete

also badly mangled by the keen edge of the
blade. The colt. which was quite valu-
able ono, was killed to end its sufferings.

by the store. At the request of juror
DR.. Shepard Of West Haven made an ex-
animation of the body, from which he was
convinced that the girl had been recently
betrayed.
The affair cruises much excitement on
account Of the prominence of the young
men involved. Great sympathy is felt for
Mr.. Cramer and his family. One theory
strongly enter tained by many is that it
was . case of suicide caused by grief and
rcmorse. Others believe that the girl
made misstep from Kelsey's pier, and fell
Ito the water late in the evening when
The tide was low, receiving cOntuslons
about the head and nose which made her
insensible, in which condition she was
drowned. The theory that her person was
violated by some unknown person and that
she was then drowned finds supporters.
The manner in which she met her fate is
at present wrapped in mystery.
Death and Damage by Lightning.
Further details of the catastrophe by
lightning in Darlington county, 5. e.,
shows that the party, consisting OF 20 white
men who had been at work on the public
highway, stopped under an Ok tree to
rest and shelter themselves from the sun.
Clouds were visible at distance, and rain
was falling some miles away, but in that
immediate locality the sun was shining.
the sky was clear, and there was nothing
to indicate the presence ofelcctricity. One
of their number had stepped off few yards
for water. when suddenly a terrific crash
startled him, and turning he beheld his
companions, some dead, some completely
paralyzed, and others wounded and
struggling in the thrces Of death.
J. NJ. Mazingo, Rufus Mazingo,
Willie Waters and John Il. Gatlin were
killed outright. These were all young
men and recently married. Twelve Others
were struck and more or less stunned and
mutilatcd, some of them being seriously
if not fatally injured. After the clouds
had gathered an hour later there was Il
very heavy fall of rain. AL around the
tree lay scattered the tools with which
the men had been working on the road
and it is possible they may have attracted
tho electricity.
Henry Davis, colored, was struck by
lightning at his: residence, No. 1919 Phil
lips street, Philadelphia, and instantly
killed. His house was somewhat dam
aged.
A very severe thunderstorm visited the
Pittston region. Mrs. Decvars house

1t appears that the horse fell and Mr..
Sharp was thrown violently forward, and
alishting upon his head, broke his neck
and probably was instantly killed, though
his dead body was not discovered until
some time afterwards.
Deputy Coroner Lenhart was notified
and held an inquest, the jury returning a

Sharp was aged about 35 years, farmer,

The Lafe (IeneraI Patterson.

Gen. Robert Patterson s death removes
from the Philadelphia community one of
its oldest, most popular and distinguish
ed members. He had SO long passed the
allotted tenure of human life that the de.
priyation of his fellow-citizens in his
taking off comes without any sudden
ness. His experience ran back to the
early days of the republic, and his per-
sonal acquaintance with distinguished
men extended through nearly every
presidential administration. Loyal SOL
dier rs he was, three wars commanded
the best services he could render; and
public spirited citizen of whose
like there are few. the return
to civil life found him in the FORE
most rank Of those who direct and de-
velop our great manufacturing interests.
Liberal in his feelings and genial in his
social relations, few festive occasions
were found without a place at table for
him and a toast on the programme to call
forth his wit and elOquence. Born on i
foreign soil he brought with him the
energy aud the ardOr Of his race, and
was never forgetful of the land of his
birth, nor stinted in his sympathy with
her sorrows and her glory. None the less
he was an enthusiastic American.
proud of his adopted country's past, in
fiuential and interested in her present.
and hopeful for her future. Without
political aspirations for himself he was
an aggressive defender of Jeffersonian
and Jacksonian Democracy, and no more
biting answer was given SUPERFICIAL po-
litical patriots than when he told a mob
who called to make this old soldier hang
out his flag, to 80 to the front and fight
fo7 the cause in which they were SO
earnest in times and places of safety.

An old friend of BRADLAUGH in his
poorer days, when he was unknown to
fame-Or to nOtoriety-advanced the now
well-known free thinker the sum of e2jO
at a time when there seemed very small
chance of ever getting it back again. The
interest arranged to be paid was rather
high for England, being y per cent. {;
but as there was not much chance of re-
covering the principal, and the security
was nil, 50 the percentage cannot be re-
garded AZ very exorbitant. Years passed
away until the interest amounted to as
much as the principal, and the man who
lent the money only remembered it to
consider it an irretrievably bad debt.
What was his surprise one day to see
Bradlaugh walk in and pay off the whole
debt, interest and all.

The president has had another more
serious turn, owing very naturally to the
extreme heat which has been felt all
over the country with unprecedented
universally. Just how serious the re.
lapse is cannot be known perhaps until it
is all over, since it seems to be the policy
of the physicians to announce the more
serious phases only when they are ready
to report relief from them. Confidence
in DIR. Bliss's diagnosis of the case is not
relieved by what seems to be semi-offi-
cial statement of the Philadelphia Times,
illustrated with medical almanac dia-
gram, that the wound twas of a far
less serious character than was for a
long time supposed. 1t appears that
some of the dangers most feared had no
real existence, and there is now reason
to apprehend neither an unfavorable
turn nor lasting inconvenience from the
continued presence of the bullet in the
presidents body. 1t has been definitely
ascertained that the cavities of the chest
and abdomen were never entered and
necessarily the peritoneal membrane
was not pierced, nor was the liver torn -

THE third term idea has received black
eye from the hands of the Mississippi
Democrats. After prolonged struggle,
lasting several days, Gov. Stones aspira-
tions for new lease of executive power
have been defeated, and Gen. Robert Low
cry, dark horse, is the nominee. This
result was brought about by caucus of
all the delegates opposed to Stone and Il
third term, by which the field was success
fully combined against the governor, who
led the balloting from the outset. This
spirited struggle was in many respects a
repetition of its celebrated national proto-
type at Chicago last summer, not the least
conspicuous point Of resemblance being the
determination with which Gov. stones
"old guard" stood by him to the last, the
final ballot standing, Lowery 1875 and a
fraction, Stone 112 and fraction. Low
cry's nomination is as much OF victory
for the friends of Barksdale as was Gar

The body of a beautiful young woman.

The body was lying face downward in the
sand. One tho finger rings worn by
the dead woman bore tho monogram "J.
c. by this means the body was ilenti-
fed as that of Miss Jennie Cramer, eldest
daughter of 4 respected man, Il cigar
dealer of the city. The dead girl had been
intimate with Mr.. James Malley, ir., a

street, New York, young lady friend Of
MIR. Walter Malley, who had arrived 1T
one of the leading hotels in New Haven.
She did not return homo until the next
day, on which day Miss Douglass paid a
visit to the Cramers, and to shield Miss
Cramer from reprimand for, her absence,
said that they had been out together at
the shore and returned quite late, and
passed the night together at the hotel.
On Thursday Miss Cramer left home again
and her father sought her at the hotel only
to learn from Miss Douglass that she had
gone to New York to visit brother there.
With many misgivings the father returned
homo. On Friday hereceived note from
James Malley, jr, that his daughter was
in New York at her brothers.
Both of the Malleys deny with great
feeling having seen the girl or been at the
beach on the night of her death. Miss
Douglass denies all knowledge of the girl
since their meeting at the Cramer home on
Thursday.

10 letters received by his daughter as to

views. One was a request from lanes

Sometimes an advertising agency in

cannot be conductive to thrift and pros
perity. One of these concerns the other
day made proposition to us to run a
quarter column ad. Of preparation
which would make whiskers grow on o
meerschaum pipe. The ad. was to run
in the daily aud weekly one year, and
copies of both papers were to be sent to
the agent. During that time $3.50 worth
of local notices were to be inserted also.
The whole thing at our rates, would
figure up about $500, and the princely
sum Of $50 less 333 per cent, the charges
Of the agency, were lavishly offered. Of
course we want to encourage the heal
thy growth of new and attractive styles
of whiskers III Wyoming We want to
see whisker industry spring up here
on the frontier that will rival the crops
of older and more civilized countries,
bnt we cannot herald the glad tidings of
whisker balm all over the United States
and Southern New Jersey just for the
pure and innocent pleasure of seeing a

| Whatever will forward the interests OF
our young territory in any way we hope
to assist so long as we can do so, and still
obtain money enough to pay freight on

cannot wear out our young life trying
to inaugurate tropical growth Of whis-
kers, for the satisfaction of being called
philanthropist with our toes sticking
out through our boots. We want to see
the liver pad, the vinegar bitters and
the moustache promoter industry in this
country reach degree Of prosperity
which will be the admiration Of older
States, but we desire also to obtain a
handsome competency and to acquire
that amount of arrogance and grub
which wealth and position yield. We
hope we will be forgiven for this selfish
and mercenary spirit, but it has obtain
ed the mastery over us, and we are the
willing slave Of a wild, uncomfortable
desire to revel in one shirt while the
other is in the wash.
