The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1882-12-01

BY request we publish the following dis
course, delivered by the Rev. H. w. Harvey,
on the occasion of the funeral of the late
Mrs. Bradt, wife of Prof. Eugene Bradt, of
this place. 1t is a fitting tribute to one,
whom, to know was to love-
We have met here to-day, to reverence and
respect memory, that is dear to us all. A
common sympathy and sorrow calls us to-
gether.
During the last few weeks an entire COM
munity has followed in anxious suspense.
this friend and companion, down through
her suffering into the dark valley and shadow
where her life has vanished away. Human
hands would gladly have retained her: friend
ship and love would still have held her here
in our midst. But il could not be.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind
breath,
But thou-thou hast all seasons for thine
own, oh death
In the very midsummer of her years she
falls with the leaves, and we lay her beneath
their silent covering, to rest. God only
knows the period of our years. We cling to
the friends and kindred he gives us until he
calls them, and then these human hands and
hearts must yield their treasure the body to
sink to the dust, in its home beneath the
leaves; the spirit to ascend to the God who
gave it, to its home beyond the stars. Thus
we count our losses as the years roll by.
To yield these possessions of our lives,
gives us unspeakable sorrow. None can
measure il save He whose infinite compassion
sinks to the lowest fathom of our hearts
Yet, does il not tighten sorrow and sweeten
our cup of grief to know that the hard cross
of pain is forever left behind for those who
90? That the crucible of suffering has for
them no more its trial heat?
We may not call escape from all life's ills
gain, for life we know is sweet amid Its
circle of home and friends and breathing its
atmosphere of love. To leave all this, tries
TO the utmost the tender and loving heart
Yet, to leave the cross and the crucible be-
hind, to pass into the realm of painless
deathless being. must not be counted alto
gether among the losses, and not at all among
the gains of human life.
Let us Danish sadness and look upon the
beauty and strength of the life that invites
us. There is no memory that has rooted
itself in human love but is founded upor

Rad Roads,

The residents along the Brandywine
from Barley Mill Lane to Rising Sun
depot, mostly hard working people, are
Intensely dissatisfied by reason Of the
failure of the road commissioners to
put in thorough repair for winter use,
the road along the creek between the
places named. What is needed, is en-
largements of the culverts at Barley
Mil and at the Saddlery shop, and a
large culvert made near Miller's store,
also the proper means for surface drain
age in not few places and more stone
broken and spread in the low places
and less mud thrown into the hollows.
In fact the whole road needs thorough
overhauling under Intelligent supervi.
sion. The world edo move, and what
was suitable for q sparsely settled
region 30 years ago is insufficient for the
wants of the large number Of men, wo.
men and children who are using this
road at all hours, and who do not think
themselves unreasonable in demanding
that a portion OF the large amount of
taxes collected from them be used for
their own benefit.

Meeting OF the Levy Court.

The Levy Court of New Castle county

The Labor Conflict,

PITTsBURG, August 16 The Wes-
| tern Iron Association met in this city
to-day, and from the action taken 1t II
certain that the backbone of the manu-
facturers is as stiff now as it was at the
beginning Of the great iron strike. St
Louis and Cincinnati were not repre-
sented, while Wheeling, the ShenangC
and Mahoning Valleys and Pittsburl
were on hand in full force.
After providing for proper and ef-
fective presentation of the views of the
trade before the Tariff Commission by
the appointment ofa committee the
strike was taken up. After o long and
earnest discussion the Association reaf
firmed its former action and refused &c
sign the scale. 1t was further agreed
that, wherever practicable, all mills
should be started up with non-union
men.
One of the Oldest manufacturers in
this district said tonight that if the
AmalgamAted men refused to go to
work under the old scale general at.
tempt would be made by manufactu-
rers to start up with non.union men in
all districts within the jurisdiction OF
the Iron Association. ln brief, if the
men refuse to come down the manufac.
turers would ignore the Amalgamated
Association as q body, and q long,
tough fight would follow.
The Wheeling delegation reported
that the manufacturers OF that district
had unanimously determined that here
after they would not pay the advance
for pudding heretofore paid over that
called for by the Pittsburg scale. They
also reported that it was their intenCio
to lower the prices paid nailers in GER
tain departments.
CoHOEs, N. Y August 16.--There is
decided change at the Harmony Mills
to-day. The weavers at work have
been increased twenty-five and in Nos.
l, 2 and 3 mills there are S64 looms In
operation. Superintendent Johnston
states that the Harmony Mills are all
with the exception of No. 6 Ogden
MILD, running with an increase OF
help each daC since starting. THERE'S
no disturbance, and the help are pro.
tected against any interference. Good
weavers in their employ run six looms
easily on print cloths and earn from
$6.5 so to 81 per week. On wide goods
they earn from $S. so to 80 per week.
The girl operatives are furnished
houses for 81 end the men for $50 per
week. Good tenements are provided
at from b to Sc per month. He adds:
"If our employees all around will accept
the prices paid in Rhode Island for an
equal amount of work we will add 5per
cent and start the mills to. morrow on
that basis" The advantage is with the
company, and it's ultimate success Is
generally conceded.

Ant,on Of Holding Over.

An interesting case was tried before
Squire Bertolette, this morning. The
suit was an action of holding over and
was brought by John b. Fisher, wbC
owns the property, No. 841 Madison
street. From the evidence it appeared
that Fisner rented the house to man
named VIM. j. Beach, who left the
property after paying up his rent, and
sub let the house to man named YEA
sey. Mr.. Fisher not being satisfied with
this tenant, served an official notice on
Beach to vacate the premises within q
month. At the expiration Of the month
Veasey, the present tenant, upon being
notified by Beach, refused to vacate
and hence the suit for possession. 1t
was also stated that Beach hat left the
city and his absence this morning veri-
fed the fact. The case was heard be-
fore referees, consisting of Thomas M.
Ogle, Thomas d. Gibson and Phillip
Plunkett, and verdict was rendered
in favor Of the plaintiff for possession
of the premises. L. G. Vandegrift, Esq,
appeared for the plaintiff and Harry
Sharpley, Esq, appeared for Veasey
the tenant, but as the suit was not
against Veasey, Mr.. Sharpley had nc
case.

The Man VINO started a Harem,

Magistrate Lemons Office in Philadel.
phia, was crowded onTuesday afternoon
at the examination Of James Sinclair,
the much. married map. Sinclair wore
a detected look, and there is nothing
attractive about him. His sue ess at
the shrine of Venus can only be ex-
planned by the eagerness OF the girls
whom he led to the altar to plunge into
welded bliss pell. .mell.
Wife No. was first called. She was
an attractive looking girl and Sinclair
displayed considerable taste in her se-
lection. She said her name was Hettie
Coyle and that she lived at Nicetown.
"DG you know the defendant ?" ipquir.
ed the Magistrate. "Yes, know him
to my SORROW" was the reply 81 kept
company with him tor five onths, and
was married to him Oh January 9,
1882" "HOw long did you live with
him ?" was the next question. Gall

red him on Saturday, and on the fol-
lowing Satu day obtained a warrant
for his arrest"
Wife No. was next brought on the
scene. For looks she could "see" No.

more stylish both in her natural charms
and in her dress. She gave her name
as Annie Mary Hester, and said her
home was in Altoona. Like No. 3, she
was brunette. She laid her hand af.
fectionately upon Sinclair and threw
her big brown eS es upon him in gentle
reproot. She was unmistakably suffer
ing from bad case of the "mash" and,
being his latest victim, of course had a
warm side for him. Il knew him for
six months before married him" she
said. "When did he marry you %
asked the lawyer. 1--WE were married
on May 18, 1882" Wife No. 2, in the
person of Miss Annie Thompson, had
evaded the subpoena, aud it was evi.
dent that she had no desire to prose-
cute.
Wife No. l, was, of course, under the
law ineligible to testify against her hus-
band. The bail was fixed at $1,000,
which Sinclair was unable to furnish,
and he was sent witeess to Moyamen.

Another Mad Dog.

This morning word was brought to
police station for some one TO come to
2O1 West Sixth street to look after a
strange dog that had run in shed at
that place, and was acting in a suspi,
cious manner. Off 3ers Vickers and
Luke visited the premises, and found q
dog in shed among LOT of tubs and
boxes that had every appearance OF
being mad. Officer Vickers fred three
al OTIS at him, and by that time Officers
Bowers and Forrest, who had heard the
firing, arrived at the place.
A rope was procured and a running
moose made, which was thrown over
the animals head and he was pulled
out and killed. The dog ran into the
place and is supposed to be one Of
those that were bitten by Mr.. Stewart's
dog In the Ninth Ward.

Setting q Boys Broken neck.

The Southington (Conn.) Phoenix
says: "Perhaps the most wonderful
surgical operation ever performed in
Southington was that which saved the
life of the little son of Mr.. Orlando
Whitney, of Darien, whose neck was
dislocated by the upSetting of a car
riage. The operation was performed
by Drs. Russell, of New Haven, and
Osborne, of Southington, and was one
which required great skill and delicate
manipulating. The little one was
obliged to lie in plaster Paris cast of
his whole body, from its neck to below
the knee joints. 1t was the only thing
that could have saved his life; move.
ment to the right or the left would have
caused instant death. DIR. Osborne,
we believe, has had charge of the case
since the setting, and under his care
the child is progressing favorably."

twenty feet in the rear, its tail was
seen to rise up, and at times lash the

vanished from sight. For over ten

AVesHeI and his Crew.
LSometime yesterday the Brig Will
liam Mason arrived at this port from
Bangor, Maine, with load Of lumber
consigned to George Churchman lum-
ber dealer of this city. This morning
thre of the men after working about
an hour at unloading the vessel, went
to the Captain and told him that they
intended to quit and demanded their
wages. The Captain refused to accede
to their demands. and ordered them to
go to their work.
The men left the vessel and we're
about to go into Squire O'Neill's office
to see what steps they should take to
get the money due them, when the
Captain came along on his way to the
Mayors office to swear out q warrant
for their arrest, on the charge of refus-
ing to do duty on the vessel. As soon
as he saw the men he had them ar.
rested, but after the Mayor heard his
statement he declined to proceed with

or they could leave the vessel in the
same manner, they don't know whether
there was anything to that effect in the
articles, as they did not read them at
the time of signing. The captain says
that the articles show that they ship

be discharged until the vessel reaches
