MERGED, November Sih.-The boy men.
toned in the dispatch last night as being
killed at Plainsburg was shot in the back OF
the head with pistol ball, the bullet coming
out at his forehead. killing him instantly.
He was with party of young men and boys
in a saloon, and several went cut in the
street to fire eff their pistols, aud the fatal
shot was probably accidental. The deceased
was named Walter Turner, aged about 16
years, ard the son of Joseph L. Turner.
There will probably be an investigation that
may develop facts that cannot be obtained at
this time. An inquest was held at Plains
burg on the body Of Young Turner, and
Charles Reynolds, son Of Reuben Reynolds,
was accused Of and admitted firing the fatal
shot, bu. claims it to have been an accident.

between householder and ledger was
left rather vague and uncertain, except
that the former was "ratable for the
relief of the poor and the latter was not,
and except that specified rental was
required in the case of ledger, but not
in the case of householder. In two of
the three cases that have just been de-
cided the claimants of the right to vote
were occupants of rooms in house In
which the landlord lived and over which
he had control The justices held that
the claimants were qualified to vote as
householders. This decision, had it been
allowed to stand, would have produced
an extraordinary extension of the elective
franchise In the opinion of the London
Times it would have led practically to
universal suffrage In large urban dis
tricts. But it is now overruled by the
court of appeals, which lays down the
general rule that where the landlord re-
sides in the house the inmates must be
considered as dodgers, and where he does
not they may be regarded as household
ers. No more definite distinction than
this was drawn by the court of appeal
between a householder and a lodger
The question, as one of the judges re-
marked, must be determined by the Cir
cumstances of each case. This Judgment
will check the great extension of suffrage
which would have resulted from the de-
cision of divisional court, but it still
leaves the meaning of the acts of parlia-
ment on this subject i'll much doubt.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.

While all other commercial and in
dustrial pursuits in America have grown
with marvellous rapidity her shipping in
terest has slowly decayed, until the ma
ton stands to-day practically without a
commercial navy. American merchants
pay to foreign vessels each year freight
money amounting III the aggregate to
800, 000.0 900, and, while they deplore
the fact, they have thus far been unable
to find any remedy. Recently the New
York Chamber of Commerce seriously
considered the matter and referred the
question to a special committee which
reported the freight figures as above
stated. A long list of recommendation
for the restoration of the American flag
to its former place on the high seas was
also presented. The New York Times
says of the matter: Undoubtedly there
are many burdens imposed upon Ameri-
can shipping which the ships of no other
countries bear, and their removal is a
demand Of common prudence. There
are sharp differences of opinion as to the
question whether subsidies should be
granted to steamship companies, but
there ought to be no difference of opinion
as to the removal of onerous port charges
and needless conditions which hamper
our shipping. The Chamber of Com
merce is performing an excellent service
in pointing out some Of the reforms
which need most to be made. But we
think its members should not be con-
tent with such an achievement. It is
not probable that the restoration of
American shipping would be rapid were
every one of the recommendations
adopted. The Chamber of Commerce
should formally encourage in Individual en-
terprise and ingenuity in the construc-
ton of steamships of a better pattern
than any now afoat. It is upon such
schemes as those recently put forth for
the establishment of fast American
steamships between New York and Lon
don that the country must rely upon the
restoration of our shipping. Not only
must the things which now hamper oul
shipping be removed, but Am erican In
genuity must also devise Improvements
TO make our ships the best in the world
if we are to rank among the first of the
maritime powers.

OUR ARMY AND NAVY.

A recent issue of the London Standard
contained an article concerning the
United States army and its peculiarities.
Among the observations made by the
writer is the fact that the general in both
the union and confederate armies in the
great civil war, who showed any marked
ability, had served in the regular army.
1t indorses the correctness of General
Sherman's idea that "West Point is IN
tended to make soldiers, not professional
braces everything in war, and his decla-
ration that, while engineers are good in
their places, ''the infantry, cavalry and
artillery must go in and do the fight
ing" The Standard also praises Gen
eral Sherman's plan of establishing at
West Point a school of application, to
give young officers a more thorough
knowledge of practical military work,
our army being scattered over so large
an area that annual maneuvres and large
camps of instruction are impracticable,
and believes that much good would re
suit from the carrying out of the gen
erals suggestions. Itrecognizes the IN
defended condition of our coasts, and
says that forts must now be designed to
withstand the impact of heavy steel
shells delivered with velocity of two
thousand feet a second. We have none
such. It truly remarks that we have no
guns which can compete in combined
lightness and power with the latest Arm
strong or Krupp guns.
The National Gazette, in speaking
about our navy, thinks that branch of
the service does not get its fair share of
consideration. 1t says that when first
''war's alarm " is sounded the 'EBlue
Jackets " are summoned to a battle field
from which their is no retreat. There
is no going to the rear skulking behind
army wagons and trees, or sheltering in
division hospitals. He must " stand up
and take it like a man. He must go
forth with but plank 'twixt him and
death, and when the war is over he is
never feted, nor marches through his
native home amid the plaudits of admir-
ing throngs, with bands playing and col
ors flying. There are no soft places for
him in custom houses, postofices and
other public places. There is no g Grand
Navy of the Republic there is no
Blue Jacket Club for him. If he has
earned little prize money, he lives on
for years to see a 8 General" scoop in
half of it for fees, and then for years
begs congress to get the scanty balance.

SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND.

The English court of appeals has just
decided one of the most important ques-
tons ever raised under the suffrage acts.
The act of 1867 conferred for the first
time the household and the lodger fran
chise. 1t gave every "inhabitant occu-
pier" of dwelling having certain other
qualifications the right to vote for a
member to represent the borough in
parliament, and it extended the same
privilege to ledger occupying lodgings
whoserental was not less than ten pounds
year. BY the act of 1878 /" dwelling I"
was defined to include any part of a
house where that part is separately oc-
cupied as dwelling" Under these acts
and that of 1869, which was amendatory
of the statute of 1867, the distinction

Age, owns curiosity shop of articles
lost or left on their trains. There are
1000 umbrellas and half as many canes;
shelves filed with Shop parcels; chill

bible; lunch baskets; black bottles; two
large basketsful of pocket-books, mostly
womens' on their way home from shop

DRIVING THE YOUNG.

The past twenty years has witnessed
remarkable change In the personnel of
the industrial force of the United States.
The stringepcy of the labor market dur
ing the opening years of the war drew
female help into the factories and work.
shops of the country and stimulated to
an unnatural extent the precocity of
mere children. In the case of the wom-
en- the opening of heretofore closed
field was no doubt of great and lasting
benefit, but in the case of the children it
must be admitted by all thinking people
that the emergency successfully passed
they should be allowed to revert to their
former healthy plane as potential factors
of the nations industrial strength.
While a large number of the children
must perforce work for their bread, the
aim of parents should be to keep their
children out of factories and workshops
as long as possible, in order to promote
to the fullest extent their physical and
mental development. The New York
Herald Of recent date, commenting en-
this evil says: Cant it be stopped?
Some of it might on the GROUND of cruel

A Night Of Deatll.

express train on the Hudson River Railroad
with large number Of members Of the New
York legislature on board was run into by the
Tarrytown special, about quarter of a mile
east of the Spuyten Duyvll Junction with the
Harlem main line. Two Wagner drawing room
cars Idlewild and Empire, on the rear of the
New York express, were telescoped and con-
sumed by fire. The unfortunate passengers
were damned between the seats and sides of
the wrecked cars while the Unsuitable flames
enveloped them in horrid embrace. OF the
twelve passengers in the Idlewild, nine lost
their lives. Twelve OF more persons were
either killed outright or suffered horrible and
fatal torture by fire. Among the victims were
Senator Wagner of the New York Legislature,
Oliver B. Kealy. wealthy stove manufactured

man House, New York. Park Valentine and

and Miss Mary Daniels, of New York. George
William Curtis who was on board the Inflated
train was at first reported killed, but it trans
PRED afterward that he escaped. Over forty
persons were injured, some OF them seriously.
The calamity was evidently the result of the
most inexcusable carelessness on the part of
the brakeman in not signaling properly the APP
preaching special when the New York train was
at a Standstill owing to heated axle.

Western Wonders.
TFrOIa the Omaha Bet. I

For two CT three miles above the
Shoshone Falls the Snake River flows
through immense chasms, with walls on
either side hundreds of feet high. The
river is full Of rapids for miles, the
descent being so great. At the upper
Shoshone Falls, known as the Twin or
Little Falls, the river is divided by an
island, and the two streams rush over a
precipice and fall into pool It's feet be-
low. AS viewed from the bluff hun
dreds of feet above, the sight is grand.
and from below there is still more to adj
mire and awe the visitor. Some four or
five miles down the river we come to the
great falls, where the entire river
descends in sheet 210 feet. Some
thirty or forty miles further down
stream is Solomon Falls, extending quite
distance. The greatest of these falls
is only twenty feet, but the forms and
great number of the falls and cascades
make it very beautiful.
But short distance above the falls is
the most remarkable sight we have ever
seen. In the high bluffs along the river
there issues numerous great springs, the
waters of which fall over the rocks and
are IaSHed TO SllVeFy streams ana spray
in their descent The first of these
pours over cliff in seml-circular form
and falls over 200 feet. AS seen from
the opposite side of the river it is very
beautiful. Further down the river is a
much grander sight. A stream of water
equal to that of small river pours out
of the bank and falls over the rocks in
silvery streams of almost every conceiv-
able shape and form, while the spaces
between are lined with green moss and
shrubs, so that it presents an appear
ance of an immense grotto.
