DIED.

Mr.. W. II. Allensworth, and OLD
and respected citizen of West
Fork, died April 9th in the nth yeai
of his age.
McCARRoLL: At the residence OF
his father, Mr.. Jas. L. McCarroll,
near this city, Thursday April 49,
1883, Paul McCarroll, aged II years.
LEWIS: AT the Louisville Eruptive
Hospital. Thursday April 10, 1888,
Mr.. NJ. Erminc Lewis, Of smallpox,
in the 18th year of his age.
The circumstances attending the
death Of Mr.. Lewis were peculiarly
melancholy. 1t will be remembered
that his brother was taken with
smallpox in this city and died the
latter part Of March. Young Lewis,
though he had never been vaccinated,
with a brothers devotion went to the
bedside Of his younger brother and
staid with him until lie died. He re-
manned by his bedside day aud night
and when the loathsome disease eX-
tinguished the spark of his brothers
life, he held him in his arms while he
breathed his last. As soon as his
brother was dead Mr.. Lewis went to
Louisville and as the symptoms of the
disease came ON him he went to the
Hospital for treatment. Every day
his parents were advised of his con-
dition and as it grew worse and
worse hope died out of their hearts
and despair settled upon them. Med
ical skill could net avail and Ermine
Lewis died martyr to fraternal de-
votion. lie was the last surviving
son Of his afflicted parents and only
one child, a married daughter, re-
mains TO comfort them in their old
age.
Erminc Lewis was not perfect.
He had his faults like every body
else, but he died the death of a hero.
He sacrificed his life for his only
brother and died for one whom he
loved. To enter the chamber of pes
thence and death to nurse those af-
flicted with a virulent and loathsome
disease requires heroism which few
possess. Ermine Lewis deserved a
better fate, but he sleeps in his grave
to-day, away from the home of his
childhood and was buried by strang-
ers with none to drop tear of regret
upon his grave. May the clouds shed
copious tears upon his new made
grave and may the winds of Heaven
sigh requiem over the remains of
one whose death cxempiticd friend
ship like unto that whIcffftfafhon to
Pythias.

Mrs. LockwOod's Case.
TWash. Cor. Hartford Times. /


The fellows who are creating so
much fuss just now by discovering (?)
that claimants for pensions have been
badly dealt with have been in Office
for years, and took no trouble to dis
cover it before. A couple of years
since Mrs. Lockwood was suspended
from practice by Commissioner Rent
ley. The writer took the trouble to look
into the matter at the time, and found
that Mrs. Lockwood's offense was
that she would not buy box of
cigars and give it to certain pension
official to help her case along. Other
pension attorneys did so, and Mrs.
Lockwood was suspended because she
would not act square with the fell
lows in the Office" When Bentley
heard Of this outrage he revoked the
order of suspension, and it looks as
if Commissioner Dudley will do the
the same in this case, Wsen he can
personally examine into the facts of
the affair. Mrs. Lockwood has never
been forgiven by the pension Office
clerks, however, for telling that they
demanded cigars from her.

GALVESTON.

GALVESTON, Nov. 13.-Half an hour
after midnight fire, the origin of
which is yet unknown, rudely reused
the family of H. II. Sears, at their
residence on Postofice street, near
Seventeenth. The building was quick
ly vacated by the lady members of the
family, while the gentlemen bravely
endeavored to save furniture and per-
sonal objects. The flames are now
under control. The loss will reach
800; insurance $4,000.
GALVESTON, Nov. 1.-THE recent
placing of a wire fence clear across
the island from the gulf to the bay,
for the purpose of enclosing an exten-
sive pasture, comprising the whole
western portion of Galveston Island,
has caused protracted litigation. This
was advanced a peg to-day by the
special committee of the commits.

THE London Times, in discussing
the proposal to allow American coun-
sci to defend O'Donnell, says that to
give audience to foreign counsel is a
novelty in England, and that no
ground has been shown for making
an exception in this case; that it may
be said without disparaging the abili-
ty of the American lawyers who offer
their services, that the prisoners case
will not suffer in the hands of his
English counsel; that it is not prob
able that Gen. Pryor will be debarred
from giving ODonnell all possible as
sistance short Of taking public part
in the conduct of the case. More than
this, it is said, cannot well be per-
mitted consistently with the princi-
pies of the British legal system,
which in this respect resembles that of
most of the American states. Ger.
Pryor says he has not applied to be
admitted in court to take part in
ODonnell's defence, and he does not
propose to make such an application.
He states that he is aware of the rule
which excludes any but an English
barrister from pleading in British
courts, and he does not imagine it will
be relaxed in his behalf. Gen. Pryor
states that O'Donnell is already pro-
vided with counsel in whose fidelity
and ability his friends have implicit
confidence, and he has no notion that
he could contribute anything to the
efficacy Of their efforts. He adds that
he has received generous and kind at
tentions from all with whom he has
had occasion to converse regarding the
subject of his visit to London,

American Women,


Are American women better edu-
Gated than their husbands? Monsig-
nor Capel thinks they are. He prob
ably mixes with the best of both
sexes, and so should have some OPP
portunity Of knowing, but we very
much doubt the position as generally
applicable. Merchants, bankers and
manufacturers having fought their
way up from the ranks, may perhaps
have married higher than their own
beginnings, and their wives may have
received an education to super
ficially fit them for society.
In the meanwhile the hus-
bands have not been idle. If they
have not acquired the polish or the
grace. they have been picking up sub
Stantial knowledge of facts, and though
not fitted for the drawing-room, where
the cultivated clergymen is likely to
meet them, they can hold their own
in the serious relations of life. Law
yers, physicians and divines should, as
rule, be above their wives in knowl-
edge and intellectual requirements.
With our school system and co-equal-
ity the women need not be generally
inferior to their husbands social sta
tus, but it is scarcely likely that they
are above their position in point of
breeding or intelligence.

TIE time for the municipal election
approaches. and no organized move
has yet BET. made to put ticket in
the field, thro,. h the election of which
it may be hoped creditable city
government may be established. OF
course. THE STATESMAN would be
pleased to have Democrats move in
the direction of placing competent
ticket in the field, but the time Is very
short between now and the election
day, and party organization would be
of difficult accomplishment in the
three weeks that are yet to transpire.
The next best proposition to consider
is if our best citizens will unite in
naming citizens ticket. A citizen s
meeting could probably start the mat
ter in the right direction. At least,
there should be consultation upon the
subject, and then the discovery may
be made that some worthy citizen is
ready to serve the city as mayor. IN
der the new charter all the city
officers are to be elected, and a recor-
der is among thenumber. Two alder
men ara to be chosen for each ward.
1t is time, therefore, to be doing some
thing. We have been complaining of
bad and incompetent government,
and let it not he chargeable, that
through acts of omission, the people
of Austin care nothing for the i'm
provement of their government. The
charter, under which reorganization
is going to take place, is a good
one; let it not be made of disadvan-
tage, through default of those most
deeply interested.

THE prospects of O'Donnell's
quittal are not so good as they have
been made to appear by his friends.
The Currie Steamship company has
peremptorily demanded the payment
of $500 tor transporting a wit
ness, McHardy, from Cape Town. and
the counsel refuses to pay it. There
are four other witnesses coming, for
which only $1,000 for the transpor-
tation of all is demanded. The pres
ence at the trial of the Cape Town
witnesses is deemed absolutely neces-
sary to the defense, as they are to
prove, according to the testimony in
possession of O'Donnell's counsel, that
Carey was killed in self-defense, dur
ing the row following the discovery
of his identity. Mr.. Currie's action in
this matter has greatly embarrassed
O'Donnell's counsel, and although up
to the present time they have pro-
tested against the payment of the
81, 800 demanded for McHardy's trans
portation, they will have to give way
in order to make out even plausible
case of self-defense. The case is al
ready considered practically lost, be-
cause of the irritated condition of
public sentiment against the Invlnci-
bles, of whom it is now believed
O'Donnell is one, and this fresh his
understanding has compile y dis
couraged the prisoners cou..oeI. Pub
lie feeling has been greatly intensified
by the recent explosions in London,
and the claim set up by O'Donnell's
subscription agents in New Y ork that
these outrages were the work of their
em;ssaries. 1t is openly asserted that
the government means to secure the
execution of O'Donnell, and Mr.. Cur
RE is charged with abusing his privi-
leges as the monopolist of the Cape
Town steamship line for the purpose
of facilitating the plans of his close
personal friend. the prime minister, in
this matter.

The Republican Column.
Fifteen states, with Isl electoral votes.

MIR. CHASIBERLAIN, president of
the British Board of Trade, proposes
to introduce in the British parliament,
during the forthcoming session, a
measure providing that vessels and
cargoes shall not be insured for their
full value. 1t is thought this will put
stop to overlooking, and the employ
ment of unseaworthy craft, and thus
tend TO diminish the number of cas-
ualties, and the losses of life at sea.
1t is believed nefarious business in
wrecking has been largely engaged in
by ship owners. So long as shippers
have no interest in saving ships, so
long, argues Mr.. Chamberlain, will
wreckers continue to increase. Stats
tics show that steamship companies
who do not insure, or insure below
value, lose least by wrecks and col

The protectionists are bowling Wig
orously for the reduction of sugar du-
ties, and many Of them want the du-
ties repealed altogether. They know
that the demand for a reduction of
tariff taxation must be met, but they
are bitterly opposed to any reduction
of the large subsidies they receive on
earthenware, iron, steel, nails, glass,
cotton and woolenS, etc. They
would repeal the duties on sug-
ar, through which the govern
ment receives more revenue
than any other article on the tar
Tiff, and which duties bear more lightly
than through any other, but they will
not listen to any proposition Co light
en- the taxatian of S107, 100000 paid
by the people upon domestic wool pro-
ducts, against less than 5000, paid
on home-produced sugar. They do not
wish to reduce any taxation which
throws millions into their pockets.
They do not say word about remov-
ing the tax on salt, which effects every
farmer and stock man in the county,
as well as pork packers.

ImDOrfant Decision.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 12.-In the SUI
pIeme court the judgment of the lower
court was affirmed in the suit of
Gardner VS.. Pullman Palace Car COM
pany. The case attracted widespread
attention. Gardner received verdict
of $500, having been robbed of valua-
bles while sleeping in one OF the Pull
man cars. The supreme court opinion
held that the company, while not liza
BILE in action as an inn-keeper or COM
mon carrier, yet to a reasonable and
proper degree care is imposed on them.
The main object in taking passage in
such cars is to permit passengers to
sleep. While in that helpless condi-
ton the duty rests on the company to
provide care and caution against val
uables of passenger being stolen
from his bed or from the clothes on
his person. This is not a case of rob-
berry by force and violence, but by
stealthy larceny. The fact that an
other passenger in the same car was
robbed on the same night was admis-
sible as bearing On the absence OF
proper care by the company.
In the case Of the Pennsylvania
company against the Pittsburg
Youngstown 81 Chicago railroad com
pany a special certiorari was allowed
as prayed for, returnable the first
Monday in December next. Stay Of
proceedings in the lower court wa;
also ordered until the final hearing.

There is church at Bayyille, Long
Island, and it seems as if one church
ought to keep the 600 people of Bay
vile in good order. There is no de-
nominational organization to fight,
and the little village ought ID the
nature of things to enjoy placid rural
peace. But it is otherwise, for Smith
and Sackett, brothers-in-law, are en-
emies in fact, and belong to the
church. They are oystermen, each
weighs over 200 pounds AM
they are Of about the same age
early in the thirtie5. They had not
spoken to each other for over two
years before the other night, when
Sackett was one of an oyster supper
party in the church, which was full OF
feasters. Smith came and called loud
ly for Brother Sackett to come out
side and see him. Sackett was sitting
costly between two ladies, and refused
to move. Besides, he wanted nothing
TO do with Brother Smith. Smith
plunged in, with a rabble Of men and
boys at his heels, and, going up tC
Sackett, struck at him. Then SacketI
rose to the occasion and there was
merry melee in that sanctuary
The preacher was knocked down
several times in trying to stop the
fight. Several other men, who pitched
in to part the combatants, were cut
and bruised. Several ladies tainted
and fell. Smiths rabble went
for the fragments of the oyster sup
per, and upset the tables and broke
dishes. Finally, Sackett picked up a
table support and knocked Smith on
the -senseless. That ended the
scrimmage, and Smiths followers see.
ing their leader fallen hurried away.
Smith was carried home on astretchel
and Sackett barely scratched, and the
supper in the sanctuary was at an
end
