The Lights O'Mantua.

The Philadelphia Press says: One
hour before sundown every day 1000
signal lights are lit in the Mantua yard
of the Pennsylvania Eailroad. The
light from Spring Garden Street Bridge
presents n beautiful panorama. The
white lights pr,domina',, and the resi-,
are red and green. Frequently, on
pleasant evenings, the railing on the
Spring Garden Street Bridge is lined
with pedestrians, who have wandered
there by the attraction Of the tlickerine
lights at Thirty-sixth street. The
switch signals revolve when "a switch is
turned. Red means danger, white
safety, and green caution. Frequently
the same light displays three colors i'll
side of ten minutes. A diagram show
ing the position of all these lights has
been printed in red, white and green,
and is furnished to all engineers and
trainmrn, who are supposed to know
the location and meaning of every light
from distance after studying the dia.
gram. 1t takes two men two hours
apiece to light all the lights.

We find In sermon of Theodore
Parker the following story. The sub
jcct of his Discourse was Rest -
They tell a story that one day Rabbi
Judah and his brethen, the seven pill
lars Of wisdom, sat in the court of The
temple on fast day disputing about
rest. One said it was to have attained
sufficient wealth, yet without sin. The
second said II WAS fame and praise to
all men, The third that it was posses
sion of power to rule the State. The
fifth that it must be only in the old age
Of one who is rich, powerful, famous,
and rounded by children and chill.
drcn's children The sixth said that all
were vain unless he kept all the ritual
of Moses And Rabbi Judah, the vene-
rable, the tallest Of the brothers, said :
ie have spoken wisely, but one thing
more is necessary. He only can find
rest who to all things atldeth this-that
he keep the traditions of the elders.
There saf in the court fair-hairei

and hearing the talk dropped them IN
aStoliishmtnt from his hands and looked
up--iha, hoy Of twelve--and said: Nay,
nay, my fathers, he only can find rest
who loves his brother rs himself and
God with his whole heart and soul. He
is greater than fame, wealth and power;
happier than home that il without it
better than honor"d age; he is law to
himself, above all tradition. The doc
tors were astOnish"d. They said
When Christ cometh shall he tell us
great things" And they thanked Cod,

ways wise. Yet God he praised that

friends, and two farmers called on him
to decide IA case. One had sold the
other five bushels of wheat, and pro-
posed to measure it in a half bushel,
and sweep the top of IA measure with
stick. The other objected, and Uncle
Daniel asked to decide.
"Well, legally speaking, a bushel is
only a bushel, he answered.

AS officers Morse and Sterling were going
down Centre street Monday night they saw two
men, under the influence of liquor, making
disturbance. One of the men, whose name is
Frazer, they succeeded in arestng, the other,
William Sullivan, otherwise known rs Jack
Sullivan, escaped the officers while they were
securing Frazer. Later in the night the Off
GERS procured warrant for the arrest OF Will
liam Sullivan and proceeded to his fathers
house on Danforth street, raped at the door,
aud told Mrs. Sullivan, who came to the door,
that they had warrant for the arrest of Will
liam and wanted to go in and get him. Mrs
Sullivan informed them William was not in the
house. The officers insisted upon going in,
and were obliged to push open the outer door
and upon searching they found William Sulli-
van. He was told by the officers to get ready
and go with them. He demanded to know by
what right they arrested him, and asked for
the warrant After it was read by Sullivan
the lights were put out by some of the occu-
pants of the house. and the Sullivan family,
including Peter and Mark p, William and the
mother, Margaret Sullivan, resisted and tried
to prevent the officers from arresting William,
by striking, and pushing the officers aside.
The officers were obliged to use their clubs and
finally succeeded in arresting William and
Mark P. and the mother, Margaret and took
them to the police station, At q hearing be-
fore Recorder Dyer yesterday morning. Will
liam W. Thomas. Jr,. appeared for the respond
ents. William Sullivan was sentenced to
ninety days in hecoanty Jail on the complaint
of intoxication, and fined $40 and costs for re-
sisting police officer. Mark P. and the
mother Margaret were fined $50 and costs for
resisting the police officer. The respondents
appealed and were ordered to recognize with
sureties in the sum of $500 each, to the May
term of the Superior Court.

BROKE JAIL.
Escape of James Sullivan and Thomas
Conroy.

A short time ago James Sullivan and Thos.
Conroy, about % years old each, were arrested
for breaking into Maddox's grocery store, cor
ner of Middle and India streets. They were
bound over to the Superior Court and in the
meantime while awaiting trial, were placed
in Portland jail.
Monday afternoon, while Conroy was in the
corridor, his wife called to see him and brought
him some clothing and he requested her to
come again yesterday. After she left the
prisoner was searched as usual-or rather the
things Mrs, Conroy brought were searched
to see nothing contraband was smuggled into
the jail
Yesterday afternoon shortly after three
o'clock Mrs. Conroy and female friend
called again at the jail. Mr. Norman True
the turnkey, escorted them to the door leading
from the iailor's house into the Jail proper, and
held the door open for the women to pass into
the jail AT that moment Conroy, who was
on the other side of the door, threw lot of
pepper into Mr.. True's eyes. Sullivan was
close at hsnd, and assisted Csnroy in seizing
Mr.. True. Maddened with pain Mr. True
Kept his held on both men, but they dragged
him into the parlor, just off the corridor,
managed to shake him off, ran down the flight
OF stairs to the basement, knocking down q
woman in their rush, and escaped out of the
basement door under the front steps. and ran
down Lincoln street. The other prisoners
went back to their cells. Word was i'm

Maine Poultry Association.

The annual meeting of the Maine Poultry
Association was held yesterday at the Office of
Mr.. Fred Fox, and the old board Of officers re-
elected. The question of transfer of the funds
and property OF the association to the Cumber-
land County Agricultural and Horticultural
Society was discussed, and the unanimous sen
timent of the members was in favor of the
transfer. There was a full representation Of
members in person and by proxy.
The society voted to transfer the funds and
property to the county society, reserving a
sufficient amount in the treasury to pay al
bills against said society. and reserving the
right to use said property for future exhibi-
tions. A portion of the money was also
saved for that purpose. 1t is the intention to
hold poultry show in 1884 or 1885 under the
joint management of the NJ. P. s. and the
Cumberland County Society.

Roller Skating Ring.

This place of amusement was well filed last
evening by large audience, and the general
opinion of those present was that the evening s
entertainment was an enjoyable one. The
exhibition of fancy and trick skating by Prof.
VIM. j. Merrill was all that could be desired
and the manner in which he performed his
difficult movements excited continued ap-
plause. His specialties on the rollers were so
much different from those we have been used
to seeing that he deserves the title of one OF
the finest skaters that has ever visited this
city. He received very enthusiastic encore
which he responded to in an appropriate man
ner.
To-day will occur the High School compli-
mentary party at the rink.
Saturday afternoon and evening will be de-
voted to the skaters OF Bath. On this occa-
sion Masters Hacker and Battey, the champion
acrobatic skaters, will appear. Music both ses-

ISOLATED with him In business, he signed me-
cnanically, without ceasing his manifestations
OF grief. On his departure he took with him
bis revolver, which he declared was the friend
mat would soon relieve him OF his mental
agony and misery. The subsequent event
showed that this was his determined purpose.
All know of the desperate attempt OF Eaton
70 take his own life in the Pullman Car of the
Quebec train. His injuries are more serious
than at first reported. Three balls have been
extracted from his head, and a fourth, thar
cannot be removed, Is lodged below and be-
hind his ear. He will be brought from Truro
10 Ualais as soon as his wounds will permit 1t
10 the advice OF lawyers that he cannot be ex-
tradited under the treaty. or on the evidence.
No movement looking to requistion has yet
been made Ii Ia Eaton's desire, however, TO
have his trial and submit to any penalty for
his act that the law may impose. In the
knowledge that his punishment has already
been terrible, that to the end of life he must
suffer from his wounds, the same sympathy Is
expressed for him In this community and ey-
erywhere in the Provinces, that wonld be felt
for the humblest man, or the worst criminal
under the same circumstances. The surgeons
do not know how soon II will be safe TO move
him. His condition at present and the fears
that his case may become critical at any mo-
mont places his removal out OF the question
for some time. The bullet that caused tire
gravest apprehension to the surgeons was ex-
tracted Monday last, but the latest despatch
from City Marshall Smith, who is still with
him at Truro, states that his symptoms have
become less favorable If he lives TO return,
there will be the same processes Of law and the
same form OF trial In his case as in all others
where the same offence Is charged.
Meanwhile, writer's on the subject should
consult the law 10 ascertain what his crime
and its penalty really is We trust there may
be no further peryerslon OF facts for the pur-
pose OF sensationr that In the newspaper trial
of the accused justice may be done and that
there m ba uiif Of off
ials or of the people of Calais. The tragedy
and Its deplorable results are bad enough when
only the facts relating to 1t are stated. The
time for moralzing will come after the trial.
