To rHa EDITOR:
Dear Sir.-Permit me- to offer a few
brief lines in answer to Rev. Father
Watry's last.
did not say that Robert Moffa1
was q man of superior merit for the
treason" that he was father-in-law.
1t was not ingenious and 1 must be
excused for saying that il certainly
was not ingenious to put it 50.
Ibid not call the Tablet the organ
ofEnglish Roman Catholicism. These
words were in quotation.
The writer of that quoted paragraph
however could justify his phrase.
There is large and influential party
in Europe at least who claim to be
catholics" but disclaim Romanism.
Let me remind the Rev. Father that
if Peter was not father-in-law he
was the happy possessor of IL mother
in-law. (And here let me say in
parenthesis to your readers that /
have little sympathy with the gross
jokes and weak witticisms that are
expended over very excellent class of
our fellow beings.)
am glad the Rev. Father does not
endorse the extract which he put so
prominently in connection with his
first letter. Though it might make
the unskilful laugh, it would make
the judicious (and pious Romanistl
grieve.
Finally if "delight in reading the
stories of girls" let me remind the
Rev. Father of his proud boast to
which 1 most humbly bow-that "the
story of Ida" was known to the Rev.
Father before it ever reached my eyes.
Yours,
7. =, HUTCHINSON.
P. S.-Let me kindly ask you, Mr..
Editor, to give the accompanying SON.
net by our great American writer J.
G. Whittier OH reading this work re-
ferred to-,
The Story Of Ida.
Weary of jangling voices never stilled.
The skeptics sneers, the bigots hate, the din
Of clashing texts, the webs OF creed men spin
Round simple truth, the children grown who
build
With gilded cards their new Jerusalem.
Draping the awful mystery of the soul
With sacredotal tailoring alb and stole.
turn with glad and grateful heart f"or'
y them
D the sweet story of the Florentine,
Immortal in her blameless maidenhood.
Beautiful as Gods angels and as good;
Feeling that life, even now, may be divine
With love no wrong can ever change to hate |
Nor sin make less than all compassionate.
JOHN G. WHITTIER, in the i,:Atanhattan."

The following rules has been handed
to us for publication. The writer of
them recommends them to notice as
being reliable and if understood and
carried out may save time in public
meetings and prevent Unnecessary con-
fusion. They will also materially
help a meeting to support a chairman
in keeping order.
1st.-The chairman should read (or
in some cases call upon the secretary
to readl the notice converting the
meeting; Or he should simply and
briefly state the object for which the
meeting has been eonFened.
snd.-should q motion be submitted
the proposer has the right
to speak and explain or advocate
the passing of that resolution. If no
one SECONDS it, the matter ends there.
ard.-The seeonder of the resolution
is also privileged to speak thereto.
1t is then in order to be discussed, or
4th.-The mover Of an amendment
may rise and ifthere is seconder to
that the succeeding speakers can adj
dress themselves TO the question.
5th.-Under such circumstance it
might pe wise !o'conllne rhe Speakers

6th.-No speaker should speak a
second time on ene resolution except

it closes the debate, saves the chair
man from doing thai and avoids the
necessity of further discussion.

the right of IA reply to objections and
arguments which the proposer of an
amendment does not possess. He
must not however introduce new
matter.
10Th; The agmeiipnept is first put !;
if it be carried THEN the amended

1t may be observed that even that

There is to be a meeting of the
public school board this afternoon at
which time it is expected TO issue q
call for a special school meeting to de-
termine in regard to the erection of q
new public school building on the
east side of town. The school build~
ing we now have ia entirely made
quate to the needs of the school and
Notwithstanding the fact that the old
court room is occupied by one of the
departments quite number of pupils
have been turned away because the
building is not iafee enough to ac-
commodate them.
The question to be decided b,
voters of the district is whether w
erect another building Or not. If it
is decided not to build some arrange
ment for the accommodation of the
school must be devise -. If it is
deemed advisable to build then the
location and size of the new STRUCTURE
must he determined. In forming a
a correct idea of the needs of. the
school it will be we'll to bear in mind
the rapid growth of our village and
the consequent growth of the school.
We hope the voters of the DISTRICT will
look to the future eis we'll as present
needs of the school and provide for
both literally.

Two young men, named Lem Dlshowan
and Peter Lewis, attended church with
the avowcd purpose Of taking home the
minister's young daughter, and when
Lewis moved from his own into the min
ister's family pew while the sermon WAS
in progress Dishowan drew his revolver
and opened lire upon him. Lewis returned
the fire, and the congregation made rapid
exit by way OF doors and windows.
Neither was hurt, and, both being dis
armed. they agreed to go into the woods
and fight it out with fists. Before they
started the girl who was the cause of the
fight desired to speak privately with Lewis
for moment, which was granted. While
the congregation were awaiting the result
of tho lst-fight pistol shot was Heard
from the direction of tho scene Of the con-
tlict. The congregation hurried to the
spot and found Dishowau lying on tho
ground dying from shot through the
lungs. lie said that Inc was getting the
better OF Lewis, when the latter drew Il
derrirger quickly from his bootleg and
shot him. The girl had placed the weapon
there during her brief conference with
Lewis just before the fight. LOWS may

wharf, searching among the crowd for
her little ones. The mother grew almost
frantic rs the time for steamship TO sail
grew nigh and no tidings were had Of her
children. At last the lines were cast OF
and the steam ship started. The poor
mother gazcd after the departing steamer,
when the vessel was out of sight she fell
unconscious to the ground. The painful
situation WAS soon made known to the
spectators and reported to the agent of the
steamship line. Every available means
will be used to reunite the family. After
two hours search the missing children
were found. Mrs. Withers will sail in the
next steamship after her four children.

mediation train from Atlantic City. Tile

IIaddonficld Conductor Smith, of tho ex-
0ursion train, received telegram stating

time by fast running. While turning into
the bend before mentioned the excursion
train dashed into tho accommodation,
which bad not stoppefat Ashland. The
engines came together with terrible
crash, and were thrown shattered and
twisted across the rOadbed. The wrecks
OF the tenders were thrown against the
banks on either side, and on the track,
shattered into fragments, as were the for
ward ends Of the leading car Of tho eXcur-
sion train and the baggage car Of the ac-
commOdation. The rear cars were neither
injured or derailed. Eight persons were
killed, eight seriously injured, and several
others slightly hurt, the engineers OF both
trains being among the killed.
Amid the most intense excitement the
cxoursiOnists and the passengers from the
Atlantic City train scrambled from the
cars and crowded around the wreck. Chill
drcn sLrieked and women tainted, and
men turned away from the scene In hOr-
ror. About the wreck the ground was
strcwn with the dead, and in the ditch OH
the side Of the roadbcd dead and injured

ion had thrown them. Engineer Baxter
lay against the boiler of his engine, where
the Kissing steam boiled around his NAH
gled body. lie still held the engine throt-
tic. His fingers clutch6 it in dcatl-grip.
To detach them force was necessary. lie
was taken out dead. Conductor Smith was
dead. lie was horribly bruised and man
glcd about the body. Mr.. Fenton was
thrown into the ditch. lie was crushed
and scalded, and for little while lay in
terrible agony. Then he died. He was
almost unacceptable. His daughter was
OH the train. She was unaware OF her
fathers death until her return to Camden.
W hen the death Of Conductor Smith was
announced to his wife in Camden she was
attacked with commissions, which threat
enod to terminate fatally. Conductor
Glenn, of the accommodation train, al
mits that he knew his train was to stop ut
Ashland, and that he rang the bell twice
to stop. Palmer, the engineer, he says,
was also aware that they had boon ordered
