A TunerM In a Lumber Camp.

One of the accidents 80 common in the
lumber regions recently visited the camp
at Kettle Creek, Penn. One of the men
was watching the slide where the logs
came down to sec that they kept the
track when Just above him n swiftly
moving log jumped the track, striking
him and cruasing him to death instantly.
He was taken up and carried to camp on
a hastily-improviscd bier made Of pine
branches, and was laid out in one Of the
girls rooms, and the men talked over
what should be done with him.
HE came from Maine, and haiu't got
no relatives near here, as far l know"
said the boss, "and don't even know
what part Of the State he came from.
All wo can do is to bury him and adver.
tse for his family, 10 send his wages
away
SO il was decided to bury the man in
the woods, with great pine tree, under
which ho had many time eaten his din
ner, to mark tho place. A man was sent
TO Gcrmania for coffin, and clumsy but
tender hands made his last bed and per-
formed the necessary services for the
dead comrnde. Tho next day was set
apart for the funeral, and one of the
men, who had been Methodist ex.
horter, acted as chief in performing the
last sad rites, which were singularly sol.
cnla and impressive, NJ everything of q
religious naturdsfs away in the silent
woods. where Nature adds an element Of
solemnity unknown in the most gorgeous
cathedral.
The sermon was short, and the
speaker, in an impressive way, COM
mcnted on the danger Of the life in the
woods and the special need for prepara-
ton for sudden death. Speaking Of the
deceased, he said:
"He was not ready 10 die, and would
wish YOU to leave off many of his faults.
But there was much in him that wus
noble and manly, aud these qualities wa
will all do well to remember and emit

month ago, by which another life was
saved We all have reason to admire
and love him, and, rough as he was, |
believe the future will deal kindlier with
him than with many who profess moro
and do less"
When he spoke of the lives the man
had saved, and painted picture Of his
rude and bravely honest life, and in ten
der words spoke Of his future life, the
strong men broke down, and one, whose
life had been saved, sobbed aloud.

The Gibbs Case.

He and His Accomplice Are Taken to
 Shuts
 John Henry Gibbs was before the City court yesterday morning on charge or burglary. At the request of his counsel Judge Blydenburgh, the case went over until Saturday, the bonds being placed at $500. Before the adjournment of court Gibbs was charged with rape upon the person of Mary Gregory, on November 10, 1882 This case also went over until Saturday, under bonds of $500.
 As soon as the case was disposed of in court Chief Webster and Detective Reilly took Gibbs and Ward to Fair Haven, where the latter pointed out the vacant lot on Olin- ton avenue that Gibbs dragged Mrs. Phil brick to after he had knocked her insensible. He pointed out the apple tree beneath which the outrage was committed while he sat on fence near by. Ward then designated the place on Blatchley avenue where Mrs. Me Manus was so violently assaulted. On this trip but one question was put to Gibbs by the officers. His answer was: Judge Bly, denburgh told me not to talk any more, and now mum's the word with me-" Ward, who will be used as witness for the State, told the officers that he went along with Gibbs
 'tiust to see the fun" To Chief Webster Gibbs acknowledged that hiss attempt to en. ter Dr. Stiher's house was not Tor burglary, but for more heinous crime. One of the women who was assaulted by Gibbs has iden tified him and will appear in court to testify against him.

Caueht With The P,undar,

In some way Detective Reilly became satis- fled that certain parties in the employment of the l.. Candee Rubber company were about to steal some of the property of the establishment. He found that two colored men named respectively Caesar Donnen and A. Stanley, who had worked at the establish ment, had sent some trunks to the boat and were about leaving for New York. One of the men had employed Max Madison to con- vey some property to house on Rose street. Going to the house it was learned that Madi- son had suddenly been instructed to throw the plunder down privy vault. There was found, however, of the goods stolen two pair of rubber boots, some arcties and a. dies shoes, which were brought to the police office about II o'clock last night, together with the two principals in the operation and Madison, who is wanted more as witness than an accessory, when the case is tried in the City court. The two men had been em. ployed in the rubber factory.

Exactly what are the prospects for Yale Harvard race next summer no one knows and no one seems to care. When the first race was rowed on the Thames it's novelty drew crowds of people to New London. But the restaurateurs and saloon keepers who laid in heavy stock of refresh ments against the next years race were badly left. Not nearly so many strangers came to the city, and those who did come hurried of on the earliest trains after the race was over. For the last two or three years the attendance has been steadily declining, and with the possible ex: ception of the hotel keepers and railroad companies no one has made money enough out of the co1legians and their friends to pay for the extra hurry and confusion of regatta day.-N0r1oich Bulletin.
