Tie Democratic officials do not eX-
pect any change in the organization
OF the Senate at the opening of the
next Senate. They base their hopes,
in great measure, upon the rumors
that there is disagreement as to pat
rOnage between the Virginia Senators,
Malone and Riddleberger, who hold
the balance of power. 1t is believed
that these reported disagreements do
not exist. George Gorham, Mahone's
candidate for Secretary of the Senate,
certainly expects that 4 reorganiza-
ton will be attempted. The Senate
at present consists of SO Republicans,
Sc Democrats and two Readjusters.
The Second Comptroller of the
Treasury has rendered his decision as
to the legality of the commissions OF
certain army officers, and he finds
that the following officers are not le-

/ les, Adam Badeau, Benjamin Runkle,
Surgeon Hope, and number of 9th
ers OF minor note. The Comptroller
refuses to pass their pay accounts.
| Sickles and Badcau are held to be out
Of the army because they accepted
diplomatic positions Runkle because
he was improperly restored by Presi-
dent Hayes. y curious fact is that
Runkle, after his restoration, received
$4,000 back pay.
The National Republican, Mahone's
Republican organ, has the following
vigorous denials of the charges of
violation of the civil service law by
Malone: The story that the Ports
mouth navy yard employees have been
asked for money at any time during
the present campaign by or for the
coalition State committee Of Virginia
is falsehood. The story that Gen.
Malone has in any manner been con-
cerned in soliciting money from Fed
eral employees since the passage Of the
civil service act is a falsehoCd. The
story that the coalition committee has
since the passage Of that act solicited
aid from any Federal employees on the
government premises is falsehood.

Let us pause and look at the view,

hills lies Umbria. 1t is early morn

A little later and all this has disap-

whitish blue against the white horizon,
the nearer ones hot and misty, show

look small and shrunk on a wide ex-
panse of brown land, the olives are
little gray clouds, the vines narrow
green lines drawn on the soil, the cy-

low, gray-green, gray-blue coloring
prevails, suggesting nothing bat heat

4 CHILD MURDER IN CASTLEr

y CHILD MURDER IN CAsTLETON.-
About one o'clock am. Saturday Sept.
22d, while Theron Goodwin, proprie
tor Of a boarding house at Lake Bonn
oseen, near CastletOn, Vt, and sew
eral companions were returning from
q fishing trip, two pistol shots were
heard coming from the direction of
Goodwin's house. Arriving there
Goodwin found his wife almost pros
trate with grief, and his daughter, Is
months old, lying dead with a bullet
in her head. Mrs. Goodwin stated
that about l o'clock, while sitting in
her room awaiting her husbands re-
turn, she heard the movements of a
person in the yard. She walked to
Il window and Immediately revolver
was discharged from the outside and
a bullet crashed through the window
The bullet passed her and entered the
head Of the sleeping child, killing it
instantly. Another statement is to
the effect that the unknown man first
fired at Mrs. Goodwin and then ran
into the room where the child was
sleeping. The mother reached the
bedside when the assassin fired the
second shot that killed the babe and
then fled. There was a revolver dis
covered in the house with two cham
bers empty. The bullet found in the
child's head is of the same calibre as
those in that weapon. Drs. Currier
and Carpenter believe from the fact
that the child's skin was scorcAed the
pistol was in close proximity to the
head. The mother has been arrested
on suspicion,

Year of Disaster.

Had Professor Grimm, who 4 year
or two ago predicted dire calamities
from the portentious aspect Of the
great planetary bodies, postponed the
disastrous epoch until the present, he
could with confidence have claimed
that his prophecies Of evil had been
literally fulfilled. One-fourth of 1888
is YET to come, but its appalling record
of death from accidents and elemen-
tai disturbances gives to it a CHASTITY
prominence, and it will pass into his
tory as the year Of disaster. The
great agents of distructiOn-food,
fire, famine, volcano, earthquake, tor
nado and epidemic have each contrib
uted 4 long list Of victims, which
seemingly unusually frequent minor
accidents on land and sea have helped
to swell to frightful proportions.
A statistican who kept an imperfect
record of the first seven months of
the year, estimated that the fatalities
resulting from extraordinary causes
had then reached the enormous aggre-
gate Of over $1,000. To this now
must be added the awful destruction
of life by the overwhelming calamity
in the Indian Archipelago. But it is
to be hoped that a more careful sur
vev of the desolated region will re-
duce the fearful loss of life now re-
ported. 1t has been estimated
that from $4,000 to $4,000 human
lives were lost. Should these figures,
however, not be disprOved, the wide
spread disaster which overwhelmed
these tropic isles will prove the most
destructive of modern times. 1t Is
also estimated that nearly 10000
people have persisted from cholera in
India and Egypt. Taking these fig
ures, together with the estimated loss
Of life in Java, tue grand total will
reach the fri2htful sum of over 100
900 lives sacrificed to casualty or pes
thence. This deals only with the
greatest events Of the year. The
lesser will aggregate a larger number
of lives destroyed by the axe, the
knife and the pistol, besides the minor
explosions and accidents, and yet the
greatest indifference is shown to these
facts by the people.

How Watch Gases are Made.

1t is a fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4s to 10 karats,
and 5 or karat case is often sold for II
or II karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one so soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t IS economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
mcnt-it has been made nearly thirty gears.

In the evening the annual sermon was
delivered by Rev. j. c.. Lorimer of

Tammany was admitted to the Dem
Ocratic State convention in New York
in part, but none but machine men
have been put upon the State ticket,
and the anti-Tammany machine con-
tests the State committee.
Ex-Commissioner Raum, who has
been in Ohio, finds general harmony,
but no great enthusiasm on the part
of the Republicans. The greatest
case of Republican confidence is the
full vote which the agitation Of the
prohibition amendment will bring out.
The Scott liquor law is favored by
five-eighths of the people of the State,
and from its popularity the Demo
Gratis are on the run.
The New York Tribune, Times and
Herald are all of the opinion that the
result of the Democratic convention
in New York has not helped the party
in New York City. The ablest lead
els of the county democracy are
angry because Tammany was admit
ted, and Tammany is disgruntled be-
cause its representation in the cOnyen-
ton was small, and because none of
its men were nominated, but defeated
by vote which proved the weakness
OF that organization and the power
and purpose of the Cleyeland-Man-
ming machine.
A comparison of the votes of last
year with 1880 will show that the
spirit of the (Boston) ratification
meeting is sufficient to elect Mr.. Rob
