Died IN Bridport, March 3lst, lsSA
Charles Augustus Wicker, aged seven.
ty-seven years, six months aud twenty.
seven days.
Mr.. Wicker was born in lIardwick
Massachusetts, September Sd, 1904.
Shortly after his father came to Bird
port, and lived in The log house which
stood so long il the yard directly south
of the present dwelling house and was
one OF The land marks of the neighbour
hood. Two years after they bought the
tavern, as 1t was called in those days,
on Mount Independence, at Marshall's
Ferry, directly opposite of the ruins OF
old Fort Ticonderoga. An exchange
of property with II of his fathers
brothers brought them back to the
Bridport homestead two years after,
and which property has remained in
the possession Of the family cver since.
MIR. Wicker's first wife was a daughter
of Alfred Cooley, Esq, by whom he
had n child, Chauncy w. who is
now living upon a farm at Willougby,
Ohio, q few miles east of Cleveland.
His second wife was a daughter of tho
Rev. 1nciea Graves, who was the first
settled minister in the town, and pas.
tor of the Congregational church for
nearly thirty years. by her he had
two children, Albert u, who has for
many years been connected with the
post Office department and resides at
Austin, Illinois, n suburb of Chicago,
and Emelinc s., wife of L G. Converse,
who owns and resides upon the old
homestead. His third wife was a
daughter of Isaac Pettibone, Mr..
Wicker was quiet and unassuming In
his manners, who never sought at.

thirty years. lie was a regular atten.

he climbed over a yard door and effected
an entrance into the house by means OF
a window. Some food, the remains OF

table, and of this he partook. lie then

to bed. He managed to ascend the
stairs and entered a bedroom. In the
room q most astounding spectacle met

was his wife, and a gentleman. Jump.
Ing, without hesitation. to the beliefthat
his wife had been guilty of a great
crime, he seized the sleeping gentleman
and dragged him out of bed. A fierce
struggle ensued, which resulted In the
two men rolling down stairs. All at
once it thon dawned on the inebriated
contestant that he had got into the
wrong house, and he rushed ont of The
place with amazing rapidly. Happen

acquaintance In town. AT this place
he was supplied with a pair of boots in

Electric Transmission Of Power.

Sir W. Thompson showed in his in.
augural address last veal to the British
Association, that if it were desired 10
transmit 2G,250 horsepower by con.
per wire half an inch In diameter, from
Niagara to New York, which is about
3OO miles distance, and not tn lose more
than one-fifth of the whole amount of
work-that Is, to deliver up in New
York 2l,OOO horse power-tEe electro.
motive force between the two wires
must be $4,000 volts. Now, what, asks
Professor Ayrton, is to be done with
this enormous electromotiye force at
the New York end of the wires?
The solution OF this problem, he says,
was also given by Sir w. Thompson on
the same occasion, and it consists in
using large numbers of accumulators.

into what may be called small CONNER
cial electromotiYe forces Is TO keep a
Faurc battery of 10000 cells always
charged direct from the main current,
and to apply a methodical system of
removing sets of so and placing them
oil the town supply circuits, while other
sets of 80 are being regularly intro
duced into the main circuit that is being
charged. OF course this removal does
not mean bodily removal of the cells,
but merely disconnecting the wires. Ii
is probable that this employment of
secondary batteries will be of great i'm.
p%ortance since it overcomes the last
difficulty In the economical electrical
transmission of power over long dis
tances.

EB~lt is a pity that with the biennial
system the n term principle secms to

lation 10 members of the legislature.
There is no good reason why, when o
town has a competent representative,
Oh a. county an excellent senator, he
should not be sent a second time. II
every county in the state were to make
a practice. of electing each senator at
least two terms, alternating Thorn so as
to have one experienced man at each
session of the legislature, the effect up
on the public business would be saluta-
ry. So if at least half of the represcn-
tatives were oil members much more
business would doubtless be transacted
In a given time, and legislation would
be done up in better shape. 1t is a
sensible suggestion made by a promi-
nent citizen recently that Addison

ting, Hon. f. S. Dana a second term.

in every sense OF the word a represen.
tative citizen. lie would take q high
rank in the Senate, and his views on

Mr.. Dana would be supported with a
good deal of pleasure by the voters of
the county if he wonld, as is likely, ac-
cept denomination. Even though
there are several excellent men in New
Haven District who would fill the pc.
sition satisfactorily to their constitu-
ents, still a beginning ought to be
made in re-electing our state senators
in this county.

furnished by its regular correspondent
OH the ground, knowing whereof he
afirms,and reliable beyond any posi-.
bility of question:
In September last the body of Presi
dent Garfield was brought to this CITY
on its way to its final resting place. Ii
lay here in state for q couple of DAYS,
visited by thousands, drawn partly by
curiosity, but more by deep sincere re.
spect. The mourning of the nation was
universal, and the civilized world sym.
pathized with us. The ceremony was
at public expense under the charge OF
the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House OF
Representatives. While all that was
outward was solemnly in keeping with
the sad circumstances of the occasion,
there was a jovlallty and a s~ensuality
that far exceeded an Irish wake. Ii
quor was provided at public expense
in unlimited quantities. The most
prominent restaurant In the city furnish.
ed seventeen hundred dollars worth of
liquor and lunches. three hundred of II
for whisky cocktails alone. Attwenty.
five cents q drink, which is the usual
%price-at least so l am told, though |
am not personally cognizant of that fact
twelve hundred cocktails must have
been drank up by that thirsty crowd
during the two days the body lay here
In state. Twelve hundred pairs of
gloves are said to have been supplied
on tho occasion, though where that
largo number could have gone to is a
mystery. Through tire long ride to
Cleveland, while bells were tolling and
the community was coming up to the
rail- Dad track with uncovered heads TO
SEQ the sad train pass by, scenes of I'M
licensed joviality were going on within
the funeral car. ~Sixty-one representa-
tiyes and numerous senators offered
themselves as a body-guard TO accom-
pany the remaines 10 Cleveland; aud
eight senators and eight representatives
were selected and went. For the exr
pense OF this occasion it ID now said that
eight thousand dollars have already
been paid, and that as much more re-.
mains unpaid. 1t is due to the ~self-re.
spect of Congress that the bills and the
circumstances be thoroughly investi-
gated.
With such facts before us we cannot
but feel the force of words spoken by
Wendell Phillips at Harvard college
last June; "If universal Suffrage ever
fails for a Independently it cannot
fail-it will not be incapable civil SER
vice, nor an ambitious soldier, moi
southern vandals nor rival legislatures,
nor the greed of wealth, nor boy states
rotten before they are ripe that
will put universal suffrage into eclipse;
will be men entrenched 10 great cities
and commanding every vantage
ground"
