With tenderness inexpressible in his

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 10, 1888.
1t isn't of any earthly use for Cover
nor Butler to say all sorts of Absurd
things because he wasn't elected. 1t is
pretty evident that he wasn't by about
5000 majority, and its no use for him to
say the ballots were not read or any
other nonsence. OF course he must blame
somebody, so he tells some anecdotes
about Kiley, the man who had charge of
printing tie votes. The Mobile Register
gets at about the true state of the case
when it says ''the Democratic par ty can
not afford to endorse such vulgar DEM
agogue and we are glad he is beaten"
There is really nothing more encouraging
than the fact that the world really sees
through humbug and pretense and takes
precious little. ''stock' in it.
Booth as Rchileu is simply leagues
above his PRESERVATION as Othello. Such
characters as Hamlet and the old cardi-
nal seem especially suited to his calm
philosophic mind as Salvini with his
fervor and magnetism is suited to the
character of the Moor. Lawrence Bar
rett has begun an engagement at the Park
Theatre in his famous play of Francisco

The last symphony concert was the

LETTER FROM CHERRY HILL
Rdit0r Cecil Viii:

Editor Cecil Wig:
Until your correspondent gazed upon
the floor of handsome beaux and charm
| ing bells, engaged in round dances, at the
ball given at our Town Hall on Wednes-
day evening of last week, yours truly was
| bitterly opposed to such diversions, but
| upon that occasion thorough conversion
took place. Everything was SO correct
and withall so thoroughly enjoyable that
nothing but the veriest croker could
object.
To say that the ball was a nice affair is
putting it very mildly; it was delightful,
and the memory of the many happy in
cidents of the evening will long remain
green in the minds of those who par
ticipated.
The music was excellent, and it would
have been wooden young gentleman OF
lady who failed to have really a lively
time. The music began at half past eight
o'clock and from that time until long
after the still hour of midnight the merry
jewellers continued to skip upon the
light fantastic. The committee having
the affair in charge deserves great credit.
The debates at wilma and Persons
Grove school houses afford an opportunity
weekly for our aspiring young orator
lcally gifted young men to spread them
selves, and also gives scope for the dis

ladies of the vicinity. Every town and
hamlet in the land should have debat-
ing club, for no better school for the de-
velopment of talent in this line exists.
Miss H. A. McCauley, principal of the
New Leeds public school, issues monthly
"school Journal" in the shape of
spicy and lively little sheet. 1t is re.
markedly well edited
Quite an excitement has been going on
in the Cherry Hill public school, between
Miss Sallie Dick, Miss Ellie McNeal and
Master John Porter, trying to remain at
the head of their division until the 10th.
1t seems to be tit-tat-toe game each
taking the head of the class alternately,
the merits and dement's are discussed
daily, but the ''finale'' will take place
the 18th. The successful one will be re-
ported at that time. Sallie Dick is the
interesting little daughter of Mr.. VIM.
Dick, of this place. Sallie exhibits de-
cided talent
Everybody is looking ahead to the be-
ginning of the usual extra meeting service
in the NJ. E. Church here. The promise
of big guns in the way of preachers is
given.
This is the third and last year of Rev.
E. I. White, pastor of the N. E. Church,
and the congregation seems to be unit
in wishing that the term could be ex-
tended and that he might remain at least
another year or even more if possible.
He is one of, if not the most popular
minister located here for many a year.
On Sabbath last he preached strong
sermon from Phil. 1st, 20. Ever ybody

Sudden Death Of q Tramp.

Michael Murphy and friend who refused to give his name have been wandering about New London for several weeks. They ar rived there from Providence and had no visi- ble means of support. Yesterday morning both men were lettering about the Shors Line depot at New London, and both were more or less under the influence of liquor. Murphy's companion sprang upon the freight switching train, standing upon the step of one of the cars. He was in a ''sky-larking'' mood apparently. Murphy also attempted to get upon the car and his con- panion caught him by the hand to help him up, and then dragged him some distance along the side of the track on which the cars were moving. When op- posite Lswrence's slip, Murphy either broke away or lost his grip upon his companions s hand. He fell and upon rising turned and ran toward the water. He reached the edge of the wharf and stumbling fell headlong into the slip. striking head foremost upon the float or landing stage moored alongside the dock. Blood gushed from his mouth and when he was picked up it was evident that his injuries were fatal. Drs. Darrow and Beckwith were summoned, but the man lived only about if teen minutes. His neck was thought to be broken.

FIRE RECORD.

A Sleeping Car Ahre-The Inmates Lock-
 ed in With the FIames-Two of Them
 Seriously Hurt.
 CAsTLEroN, N. Y., Dec. 7.-At o'clock this morning while the late New York ex- press on the Central Hudson road was pass ing point short distance south of here, fire was discovered in sleeping car attached to the train. The flames were first noticed in the ladies' parlor or dressing room. The train was run into Castleton and stopped. The cause was a lamp explosion in the ladies toilet room. Four passengers were asleep in the car and were almost suffocated by the smoke before aroused. The doors of the car were found locked and the windows fastened down so that the imperilled men could not raise them. An axe was obtained and an op- ening cut through the side of the car by which escape was effected. Two men were somewhat bruised and so overcome by the smoke that it was deemed best to leave them in hotel at Castleton. w. G. Murphy, of Buffalo, agent of the Nickel Plate road, was also injured, but proceeded to Albany where he was removed to the Delavan House. One man lost $16O put into his hat, which was burned.
 ALBANY, Dec. 7-The name of the man wounded in the sleeping burned this morning who was left at 8 hotel in Castleton is Fred Workman of Hoboken, New York commercial traveller. He has improved some during the day, but all danger Is not yet passed. w.. G. Murphy, the other injured man, who brought to the Delavan House in this city, is from Buffalo, commercial agent of the Nickel Plate road. His wife arrived to night to attend him. His injuries are hardly dangerous, though they are believed to be partially internal caused perhaps by inhaling the flame or heated smoke. He has said but little to-day, expressing his belief that the seriousness of the accident is charg- able to the porter. The porter claims to have been attending to his duty at the time the fire started and not asleep or absent from the car as has been said. Murphy holds 8 St, ,O0O accident insurance policy. The Cas- tleton fire department managed to save the trucks, but aside from these the car was burned and the company's loss is about $1o,- GOO.
