Chief Signal Officer, has addressed a letter
10 the Secretary of War lie says Il
would most respectfully ask thatall proper
and efficient means be taken to re-arrest
Captain Howgate and bring him to trial. 1t

like other citizens, for nigh crime, that this
is proper occasion for putting into effect
all the power of the Government to re-
arrest this man and bring him to trial
General Hazcn says: The escape OF
Howgate deprives the Signal corps OF its
best means of answering the false and
vicious accusations made against it.

Death.

Rev. Mr.. Murray and wife have met
youngest child, William McCabe, aged
three years and one month. His death
was the more painful on account of its
suddenness. None were prepared for the
painful news. On Saturday he was slight
ly unwell; on Sunday he was running
about the house, prattling in his usual
bright way, but on Monday morning a
better world had claimed him. His death
was caused by that dread destroyer, men,
braneous Group. Little McCabe was born
in North East, Nd, where Mr.. Murray
was stationed previous to his coming to Mid
dletown. He was an unusually bright and
interesting child, the pet of the household
and favorite with all. His funeral on
Wednesday was largely attended. The
services at the M. Z. Church, conducted
by Presiding Elder Martindale, were
deeply impressive. Touching addresses
were delivered by Revs. w. H. Hutchin,
T. Snowden Thomas, J. D. Rigg, w. c.
Alexander, w. G. w. Lewis and DIR.
Kennedy. The floral offerings consisted
of beautiful anchor from the Sunday
School officers and teachers, a cross from
the infant class, and pretty wax flowers
from little Helen Price. The bereaved
parents have the deepest sympathy of the
entire community. Only those, perhaps,
who have had beloved child suddenly
taken away by the hand of death, can
fully realize the depth of their sorrow.

Another change in the time table of the

leaves Philadelphia at 1l.5O and Baltimore
at go. These connect with the train that
leaves Middletown, going south, at 2.1O
p. NJ. The train that formerly left Balti-
more at 7.O5 A. NJ, now leaves at 6.25, and
the evening train that left the same city at

trains that connect with the Delaware
road. All passenger trains now run into
the Pennsylvania Company's new station
at Broad and Filbert, the old depot at
Broad and Prime being abandoned as a

- Some of our young men are making
efforts to organize military company.
Several persons have subscribed literally
toward the expense of its equipment, and
as the young men who are promoting the
movement are enterprising, it is probable
that the company will be organized. fit
is, let it be such company as will do our
town credit, and though we may not have
any particular use for military company,
we will like it because it is ornamental.
Then Wilmington, Dover and Milford
have military companies, and MiddletoWn
don't propose to take back seat when
three villages like these can march out
military organizations.
j. T. Shallcross recently favored us
with samples of fruits and vegetables
canned by him last season, with word OF
admonition not to criticise too severely, as
the samples were of the product OF his
first attempt at canning for market. we
can only say that we have seen nothing
better in the way Of canned goods than
that put up by Mr.. Shallcross. The
sample of tomatoes was particularly fine
and his corn as good as any brand we have
used. Of course Mr.. Shallcross readily
found market for all the goods he canned,
and he is so much encouraged at his sue
cess that he will pack many more this
season.
