lu the case of Roberts against the Osdens-
burgh and Lake Champlain railroad COM
pany, an action brought to recover damages
for the killing on the defendants road of the
plaintiffs wife, a motion for a nonsuit, on
the ground that Roberts had not shown a
legal marriage, was argued before Judge
Tappan at Pittsburgh Thursday. The de-
Tense claimed that marriage contracted by
Roberts in Lowell, Mass, in 1869, was
illegal, and subsequent ceremony in New
Hampshire was also unlawful, according TO
the laws of those States. The plaintiff held
that the New Hampshire marriage was law
full, and the parties having lived together
as man aud wife twenty years created
presumption of the validity of tho marriage
relation. A non-suit was granted, Judge
Tappan deciding that 30 nic who has ever

Mr.. Viiiutti's GratIauGe.

President Willard has issued the fol-
lowing card Of thanks, copies of which
will he posted in all the depots and
stations along the line of the North

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD CoM-
PANY, PRESIDENTS OFFICE, New
York, Oct r., 1888. TO the friends
Of the Northern Pacific in Minnesota,
Dakota, Montana, Washington and
Oregon: The memorable Journey
across the continent on the occasion of
the opening Of our main line is ended.
Our American and European guests
have returned to their homes. They
agree with me that such as the trans
continental excursion never has and
never viii be equaled in point ofnum-
bers, character and interests, the dem
omstratlon OF popular good will, warm
sympathy and genuine JOY to which it
gave rise from the Mississippi to Puget
sound can never be surpassed We
rode, rs it were, on a rising tide Of
popular enthusiasm from one end of
the road To the other. Beginning with
an extraordinary, almost ovcrwhelm-
ING, outburst in the twin cities Of st.
Paul and Minneapolis, it appeared to
gain in intensity as we moved west
ward, until it reached its climax on
the Pacific coast in Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle.
perform a most gratifying duty in
expressing to the inhabitants Of the
cities and towns along the Northern
Pacific, and to the people at large Of
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana. Wash
ington and Oregon, officially, and per
sOnalIy, my most profound thanks for
the great honors bestowed upon our
company, and for the most generous
hospitality extended to our guests. 1t
is almost a painful thought that when
so much kindness was received every
where it is impossible to render pro-
per thanks in every case. As it Is,
can only avail myself Of this method
to assure all Of our friends that Meth
er the Northern Pacific company nor
myself personally, viii ever forget
their goodness to us, and that we hope
to prove worthy of the public conf
demce, of which the opening excursion
elected such striking evidence.

1t should be the duty of every
citizen who owns property in any
town to improve it. Not only be-
cause it makes it present a better APP
pcarance, or because it enhances the
value of il, but pride for the good
looks Of ones town should be a strong
incentive. A local paper is, or should
be a mirror Of the doing of its town.
Every property improvement, every
successful business enterprise reflected
from its columns to the outside world,
set men to thinking. The capitalist
looking out for a location wherein TO
invest his money in a business, Will
not be slow to see the advantages Of Il
live buStling place over the slow, 90
easy towns, and he will go where the
dimes can soonest be changed into
dollars. Another thing. Everyone
should take pardonabIe pride in the
neatness and cleanness of their prem
ises. All these serve to give a general
completion of neatncss 10 the town,
and render it attractive to strangers.
Plenty Of men there are who have
made their pile, as 1t Is sometimes
more forcibly than elegantly express
ed perhaps. Their business life has
been one in the noisy rafting, bang
ing street Of the great city, and now,
after their dreams Of fortune are
realized. they viii east about for a
home in jIst such a town as we have
pictured. When one realizes all these
things and sees how true they are it Is
or should be a spur to put things at
their best, the acquisition Of such peo-
pie Is itself valuable to any commun-
itv.-EX.

a Wonderful Street.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Win
dom is now in London trying to raise
money for building an arcade under
the whole length of Broadway, New
York. If he succeeds, that will be the
most extraordinary thoroughfare
known to the history of cities. The
scheme is to make a new street under
the present surface of Broadway, ex-
tending to the houses on each side.
and lit by electric lights at night and
glass refectors in the daytime. The
middle of the street would hold rail
way tracks, not only for city travel,
but to accommodate incoming trains
from every part of the country. The
traveller in San Francisco or st. Paul
would not only buy his ticket for New
York, but the hotel on Broadway
where he intended to stop. Freight
and baggage would be conveyed direct
ly to the warehouse or be received by
the express car which was to convey it
to any part of the country. Then
traffic Of all kinds could be carried on
on each side Of the arcade. There
would thus be double tier of stores.
Provision could be made for sewers,
water mains, gas pipes, and heating
tubes. In short, it would become
double street and the value of the
property quadrupied along the route.
Engineers say the scheme is entirely
practicable. There is business enough
now on Broadway for two thorough
fares.-Demorest's Monthly for Nov
ember.

No, not even an earthquake can dis

to say they have done an excellent
lob. using none but the best Of mater

materials even than the specifications
called for, and we take pleasure in
recommending these gentlemen to those
/ contemplating building. We wish,
also. in behalf Of the trustees and the
church at large to return thanks to
them for their liberal discount from
contract price, given as an evidence Of
their desire TO give pecuniary aid to
T its construction.
The painting and granting was done
by Messrs. Keaough Bros, and the
work speaks more in their praise than
any words we might write. Good
workmen and good material will al
ways make satisfactory job. The
mason work was entrusted to Mr..

tests his skill as anaccomplished artist
