Coroner's Expenditures.

\ For the quarter ending June 30 the fees and disbursements under Coroner Lewis \ Sperry aggregated $358.88. Of that amount S165.3S was due the coroner, and the balance, $193. 50, was paid to medical examiners. In the case of George Ethier, of Hartford, shot by Louis Tracy, the expenses amounted to $30.S0; in case of Mabel Maria Anderson of Windsor, killed by her father with an axe, S40.45; in case of Daniel Darrow of Hartford, suicide, $34.05; case of George A. Wads- worth of Bristol burned to death in burning barn, 46.60. Dr. Buffers fees as medical examiner were S65.
 The total expenses in New Haven county under Coroner Bollman were for the quarter $976.98; in Fairfield county, under Coroner F. l.. Holt, the total expenses were $556. .61, and in New London county, Albert F. Park coroner, the total expense for the quarter was $267.65. The returns for Litchfeld Holland, Middlesex and Windham counties have not yet been received at the comptroller's office
 The Dr. Lockwood Disappearance.
 The Norwalk Gazette, speaking of the dis appearance of Dr. William A. Lockwood, of that city, says: ''The Fairfield County bank, however denies that it holds any forged pa- per. It holds paper placed there by Dr. Lockwood, but Mrs. St. Johns signature is genuine, and she has signifed her willing
 ness to meet the responsibility. Those in a position to know state that the doctor is in no wise indebted to Mrs. Tryon's estate. They admit that some of her money was in- vested by the doctor and that money has been lost, but state that this was done before Mrs. Tryons death and at her suggestion. and further, that in order to relieve him of all responsibility in case of her death she ap- pointed him executor of her estate, and signed paper to the effect that the inyest ments were made of her own free will. These statements are from good authority, and we are bound to believe them until we are better advised.
 The case then is resolved into A sirnnIe affair of abscondence What Dr. IockwooS's motives were for this action we cannot of course, say. His affairs were not so daanIv involved but that few years of close atfenS- ton to business would have extricatad him from his entanglements Moreover he had Q large circle of wealthy relatives and friends any one of whom would have cheerfully ren- dered him all the assistance in their bower Thus. the motive for his dishonorable act is matter of grave question, and one upon which we are not qualified to pass It nav have been cowardice, or it may have been a sudden giving way of the power of will which enables man to overcome difficulties, It is charitable to suppose either"

Close On to Receiver CIark,s Heels.

Whenever any action is asked for by the receiver of the New York and New England Railroad company in the courts, Colonel Jonas H. French and the other opponents of the receivership are on deck. It has been thus heretofore, and the same is true at the present. Application was made before Judge Hoyt H. Wheeler of the United States Cir cult court in New York city for confirmation of Charles F. Clark as receiver of the New York and New England Railroad company in that State. Colonel Jonas H. French and others appeared in opposition and were given time to become parties, and meanwhile are restricted by order of the court from inter fering with the property in the hands of the receiver in that district

The money was some the two had saved. The parties live at 70 St. John street. They were told that the police could do nothing for them unless they could find where the husband was.

Literary Notes.
The WANDERER.

The picturesqueness Of Boston Harbor
will be one of the themes of the August
Harper's. Mr.. W. Fl. Rideing, now a
resident of Boston, has written an interest
ing paper on "The Gateway of Boston,"
which is fully illustrated with pictures of
the islands and the people one sees about
them.
Despite election excitements, the Nor
mons are always with us, as a perennial
occasion of political dispute. A sketch OF
"Salt Lake City," promised in August
Harper's, from the pen of Ernest Inger-
soil, has therefore permanent timeliness,
so to speak. Besides fine illustrations of
the city and its picturesque vicinage,
there will be portraits of many Of the
present Mormon leaders.
Mr.. Julian Hawthorne gives in his ad-
hesion to the cause of muscular Christian
ity in paper on "The building of the
muscle" to appear in the August Har-
per's The paper includes a pleasant
sketch of his college-mate Blaikie, and
expresses the belief that 'young men
cannot make one another's acquaintance
upon a sounder and more natural ground
than is afforded by their muscles"
Those hard drinkers who prefer mineral
waters to "fire-water" will be interested in
careful study of the springs at Richfeld
by DR.. F. j. Mott to appear in the August
Harper's. The paper is similar to the
medicinal discussion of the Carlsbad
waters, by DR.. Coan, printed in the same
magazine last year.

Iuost palatial residences, the most
Iuxuriant hotels, the most extensive
railway connections, the best appointed
street railways of any city on this conti-
nent outside that of New York. lT.r (
This is what has happened to him
who writes you. He stood on the
ground where old Ft. Dearborn was,
nearly if not quite the only building on
the south and west of Chicago river,
On the north side stooda village, little
if any superior to Wellington in point
of population, and in most other re-
spects not its equal. Nearly half that
surface was covered with water from
one to four feet in depth. We stood
here forty-one years ago and saw this
desert waste. We stand here to-day
and see this the third city in the union,
but given the same ratio of increase
may yet be viewed by these same eyes
Funder the apellatiOn of "first.' We
have walked these streets for two
weeks past in a dazed condition, scarce
ly able to make sure of our identity,
that we are surely the same individual
to whom a considerable portion of these
same acres was offered in A. D. 1S43,
for so small a sum that our purse was
fully equal to the same, with a small
margin left for sundries.
Can you, Doctor, for single
moment credit the smaller of these
facts, that your correspondents pockets
were ever so we'll lined with the
'sfilthy lucre." Again sir, can you
tell me If, in your opinion, it would
have made him more or less man, if
he had made such purchase and become
to-day as immensely wealthy as those
probabilities would indicate he might
have been? If he could believe that he
would have grown grander and bet
ter man than he Is to-day in equal pro-
portion with the growth of this great
city, he would feel immensely sorry
that he missed his opportunity. But
knowing the usual effects of great
wealth on man, he can but think that
he too would have played the fool, and
in the great future for man find him
self classed with "dives" and not with
s'Lazarus." To-day he thinks the COM
pany of the latter will be better, in
finitely better on the other side of
Jordan, and is not therefore sorry that
he failed to comprehend the situation,
that he did not buy.
If we remain here long enough we
may give you some further facts tend
ing to show that these lucubrations Of
ours are not fictious.

From the far.away State of Maine.
The man of the mighty brain
Is certain to win-that 8 plain
To one with the sense of a sand-hill cranA
Or in fact anybody who isn't insane.
So, you'd better get out of the rain,
And climb aboard of the train
That's bound to go straight up the Whit

Well hit 'em again,
For the boys IL ''whoop 'er up Liza Jane,"
And make red-hot campaign.
Just why I needn't explain,
But the people are shouting for Blaine
Jim Blaine,
And the whispering pines OF Maine
Take up the glad refrain. e.a
Already he's raising particular Cain,,
For Democracy chances are fast on the wane
And the Bonroons are getting profane,
although they affect toNisdaina
Their vision prophetic sees labor In vain,
And the field, as before, all heaped with Their
slain.
For the man at our headts Democracy bane,
And the votes will be cast and be counted for
Jim Blaine,
Whose home is away up in Maine.
And when he takes hold of the Government'I
rein
The fierce British lion will rufie his name,
pain ... .u.
When he sees that he'd better abstain
From snubbing our hog and our grain;
He'll and he don't own this whole plannt
mundane.
Then gather at liberty's fame,
Our banner has never stain;
The political vane
Is pointing to Blaine,
Jim Blaine,
From rock-bound, far-off Maine.

MADISON House, CHICAGO, Ills.
Editor ENTERPRISE
You may not be posted on all the i'm
portant events occurring about you,
and may not therefore know that the
writer has left Wellington, on a voyage
of discovery. Various and many
turns of the wheel of fortune, landed
me in this city of Chicago. And after
two weeks study of the same, pro-
nounce it to be the 1st of the seven won-
ders of to-day. Now these wonders
must be of two kinds, natural and arti-
fetal, Gods works and mans works.
Man is the "noblest work of God,"
(when he is not the most ignoble),
and must therefore be placed 1st in the
first class of wonders, and Chicago is
first of the second class. We learned
in our early studies that exceptions
serve to strengthen general rules, so
those exceptions named only serve to
make man pre-eminently first of the first
class, and as this same city is pre-emi-
nently the work and the habitation of the
most noble and ignoble of men, it
therefore follows that it Is first in both
these classes, and is therefore the first
!, the wonders Of to-day. Can you

LIVES OF BLAINE & LOGAN.

Let us know our men, Let us acquaint
ourselves with their work. Let us learn
the methods by which they have risen to
leadership, and emulate their example.
Nothing can be more inspiring to the
young men of our country than the story
of the lives and deeds of the Republican
standard-bearers. They are both men of
the people. Neither was "born to fortune"
Each has won his own way to distinction
and greatness. II is sfortunate that the can
didates Of our party have found so able
and conscientious biographer as the
historian, John Clark Ridpath, who has
just issued from the press Of Jones
Brothers g. Company, of Cincinnati, a
large and elegent volume on the Lives
and Public Services" of Blaine and Logan.
1t will be remembered that only two years
ago Professor Ridpath carried away the
palm in his "Life and Work of Garfield"
and that his popular History Of the
United States" has earned for him a
national reputation. His life of Blaine is
up to the same high standard. The work
is in every respect superior to any similar
book on the market, and will be SO con-
sidered by the public. The American
voter can not afford to be without copy
of the work. Whoever gets Ridpath's
Olives and Public Service of Blaine and
Logan" will get the best, and will find
himself in possession of a book well
worthy permanent place in, his. library.
