 Warner Miller, elected Saturday to suc-
 eeed ex-Senator Platt, was born in Oswego
 county, New York, August 12, 1888. He
 went to Union College, where he graduated
 in 1s6O Soon after he was employed as g
 teacher in the Fort Edward Collegiate Insti-
 tute. On the outbreak of the war he enlist
 ed as private in the Fifth New York caval-
 ry and served in the Shenandoah Valley. He
 was subsequently, promoted to be sergeant major and lieutenant. At the battle of Win chester he was taken prisoner. In 1872 he was delegate to the National convention at Philadelphia, and was elected to the New York Legislature in 1874 and also in 1875. He was elected to the Forty-sixth Congress as a Republican Representative from the Twen- ty-second district, comprising Herkimer, Jefferson and Lewis counties, receiving 14,
 855 votes, against II ,63S votes for L. L.F Brown, Democrat, and was reelected last fall. He has lived in Herkimer fourteen or fifteen years, and is a paper manufac- turer, having a mill in the outskirts of the village. Until few years ago he had not been particularly successful in business and might be called poor man. He eventually became associated with a company engaged in the manufacture of wood pulp. They have number of estab- Ishments in this country and Canada and are to have made great deal of money. Mir. Miller is an active member of the Metho- dist Church. He wrote to friend under date of June 16th: q have had nothing to do with this Senatorial muddle. Many of my friends urged me to go to Albany and make canvass This I refused to do, and have kept entirely away; and the few votes cast for me were given by some of my en- thusiastic friends The outcome of the mat ter no one can foresee; at present it bodes no good to the party but we have three years before another great contest comes, in which to gather up the scattered forces and put them in order for battle. If there is noth- ing but the spells left to contend about, and all the great principles of our party have vanished it will matter little which side wins in such fight but must leave this train of thought oryou will think me pessimist am very busy making improvements on my sarm''

The English free traders have evidently got to fight for their theory some more, as many Englishmen are much dissatisfied with the working of free trade. Thus the Quar- tersg Reufeao lately published an article in tended to show from statistics that British manufactures are declining and that foreign CTS are competing successfully, even in the English markets, in consequence of the sys- tenn of free trade The Morning Post, of London, directs the attention of it's readers to the article and says: 'sThe Quarterly Re
 gseaos array of facts deserves the most con- siderate attention of every man having the future prosperity of the country at heart. The United States, under the system of pro- lection described by some of our political economists as suicidal, have paid during six teen years over eI5aseoO, ,0O0 of their debt and paid e26, ,0oo, GOO last year under it. The United States have passed. by leaps and bounds into condition of prosperity which before long will enable them to cancel the enormous debt incurred on account of the civil war.

It is unlawful in Massachusetts to keep drinking bar in any place not visible from 8 public street, and screens and other obstruc
 tions to the view are prohibited well as any arrangement of bottles and casks to effect the same purpose. This law is now strictly enforced in Boston, where in many instances the bars have to be removed to front rooms, and windows cut through the walls. The Retailer, speaking for the liquor trade says that the law has not lessened the sales at all. At first there was slight hesitancy on the part of some drinkers, but that quickly passed away, and the general result is to make the traffic more open and respectable.
 One of the beanties of divorce in this country has lately come to light in Massachu- setts. A rascally doctor of Cambridge, told his wife last fall that he found 1t necessary to go to Louisiana he broke up housekeep- ing and sent his wife to board with a relative at Cohoes, N. Y. In February last he filed a petition in the Middlesex county, Mass, court for divorce, on the ground of deser- tion, cruelty and intemperance, which 'fen- dangered his life, health and limbs" He al- legged that he did not know where his wife was, and he was granted divorce by Judge Devens The wife knew nothing of all this till after the divorce was granted. But now she petitions the Supreme court for redress. Judge Lord said the doctors action was an outrage upon the court, and that he would be indicted; and that the court would con slider, at the proper time, the wife's petition for an annulment of the decree of divorce.

An accident occurred near MeDonough
Station. on the Western Maryland Railroad
on Tuesday night. }. J. Smith, of this city,
with a two horse wagon, loaded with fish,
started on Tuesday from Baltimore to West
Minister When near MeDonough station he
turned from the pike on a county road to visit
a sister, Whilst visiting his sister the horses
walked off. When coming to the railroad the
horses turned down the track toward Balti-
more Shortly after, the passenger train, due
here at 8. 20, came along, struck the team,
killed both horses, demolished the wagon and
scattered the fish. The train was stopped,
and the nature of the accident examined,
causing a delay of half an hour. The loss TO
Mr. Smith is serious one, as he can lily stand
it: but in addition to this, one Of the horses
had been borrowed from John Fresh, to whom
the loss is also serious.
Prior to the accident the train had been
Laaking about thirty-five miles an hour, but
had slowed up considerably for some reason,
and when it struck the team the shoe was
scarcely perceptible to some Of the passen-
gers Had it been running at the former, or
even usual speed, the accident must have re
suited seriously to the train and passengers.
