SHOCKING SCENE INA CEMETERY.

There was terrible scene in the William
street cemetery at Plainfield \. j., last Sun
day afternoon, when two sisters fought over
the fresh grave of their mother. Tse trouble
arose from religious differences, one sister being
a Catholic, and the other Il Protestant. The
deceased woman was Mrs. harrington, living
with her husband, between Bound Brook and
Chimney Rock, some seven miles from this
city. The Harrington family are all Catholics
except one sister, who married Il Protestant
named Wolfe, and adopted the reli gOn of her
husband The Wolfes also live near Bound
Brook. When Mrs. Harrington died her hus-
other daughter, who had married a Catholic
and endeavOred to secure her aid in paying the
funeral expenses. lie was unable to do this
and then went to the Protestant daughter, who
agreed to share the expense of her mothers
burial 1t was arranged to inter the body in
the William street cemetery, which is Pro-
testant institution. The remains, in charge of
a Bound Brook undertaken, and accompanied
by Mrs Wolfe and her husband and a number
of relatives and acquaintance, came to Plain
field in carriages. When they were at EvOna
a mile from Planfield, they were Overtaken by
q wagon containing the Catholic daughter, her
husband aud her two brothers. This party
stopped the hcarse, ard in very violent man
ner forbade the burial of the remains in q
Protestant cemetery. The undertaken was
puzzled what to do, but drove on, the Catholic
party accompanying the procession. Instead
Of going direct to the cemetery he drove TO the
police station and asked the advice of Captain
Dodd as the Catholic sons and daughter threat
ened violence in case an attempt was made to
enter the cemetery with the remains.
Mr. Harrington was willing that his wife's
BODY should be inferred in the Protestant
ground, and his sons and son iii law would
probably have consented had it not been for the
violent opposition of the wife of the latter.
The funeral proceeded to the cemetery, and
CAPTAIN Dodd called the Catholic daughter and
her husband aside and warned them of the
serious nature of the Oilense they would COM
nit if they interfered with the burial Mean
time the undertaken was proceeding with the
interment, and had lowered the coffin into the
grave.
The Catholic daughter gave shrek, and
rushing to the open grave, assaulted her sister,
Mrs. Wolfe, hcaping upon her the most violent
invectives, and raying like n crazy woman.
Finally, she picked up club and endeavored
to brain her sister, but was held by Captain
Dodd, who deprived her Of her weapon. Her
husband and brother did not interfere, but
large crowd, composed mainly of Catholics,
gathered around the two sisters. There seemed
likely to be a general fight, sympathy being
largely with the Catholic daughter Finally,
the majority of the mOurners were hustled into
the carriages and driven rapidly off, followed
at some distance by the Catholic brothers and
sister, threatening vengeance.

SUICIDE OF AN INVENTOR,

William Godfrey Kruger, aged forty-three,
a German inventor, committed suicide on Sun
day morning in New York by shooting himself
through the head. Poverty and drink appear
to have prompted the act. Kruger was the
inventor of flying machine in which he eI-
pected in six months time to cross the ocean to
Europe in twenty hours. Sickness swallowed
up his money, and he was quite destitute. As
a veteran of the war; in which he served as first
lieutenant Of Company T, Second Missouri vol
untcers he claimed pension from the Gov
ernmont for permanent injuries resulting from
scurvy contracted in confederate prisons in
1864. The final answer to his application, for
which he had waited long, arrived by mail from
Washington on Sunday morning a few hours
after he had shot himself. Kruger was school
teacher in San Francisco for ten years, and was
a lecturer on4the subject of aerial navigation.
He had been % years in the country, was sin
gle, and had long made his home In st. Louis,
and later in Washington. He had been only
three weeks in New York.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR,s RECEPTION.

Brightness without WED with the varying
shades of brilliancy within the Executive
Mansion on Tuesday night. The large lamps
on the portico threw long line of light down
the encircling drive at the approaches, and
made path of almost MONDAY splendOr in the
way of each guest. President Arthur has
sought in his Tuesday night levees to make
each an occasion worthy the remembrance.
The reception on Tuesday last was his first card
reception, and the invitation to be present
came to each guest personally.
Previous receptions have been in honor of
the Diplomatic Corps, the Supreme Bench, both
Houses of Congress, and officers of the army
and navy. The list of guests on this occasion
included the creme of each of these bodies and
distinguished citizens of the District The
President was in his happiest humor, and dis
played none of the embarrassment and ner-
vousness that watchful feminine eyes accused
him of during the earlier receptions
Col Rockwell made the introductions in his
pleasant fashion, and the President in most
cases presented each guest to the ladies receiv-
ing with him-Mrs. Frelinghuysen, Mrs. Lin
coin, and Mrs. Chandler. Mrs. Frelinghuysen
wore a very elaborate trained dress of black
brocade, trimmed with jet passementeries and
beaded lace; in the hair a spray of white
flowers with foliage. Mrs. Secretary Lincoln
wore opal-tinted satin, combined with rich
brocade, and floral garniture of pink-shaded
hollyhocks and moss roses. Mrs Secretary
Chandler wore a becoming dress Of pale blue
silk with embroideries of beads and blue
beaded fringes; rare laces formed the corsage
and long sleeves; ivory-tinted gloves and waist
bouquet of pink roses completed this handsome
dress Political creeds or conflicting notions
for the public veal seem to have been forgotten
in the issuing of the invitations. There were
as many Democrats present as of the reigning
party. Men like Montgomery Blair are not
often seen at the White House, and yet, with
his son Woodbury. and the ladies of his family,
there were none more heartily welcomed.
