What Lot M. Morrill, Told About
Sharper Blaine.

Ex- Senator Wadleigh, OF New
Hampshire, in late speech IN
Manchester, developed new ana
extremely interesting phase OF
Blaine's rascality in connection
with bonds of the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad. We here
give an extract from the ex-Sena-
tors speech:
"The anxiety displayedby Blaine
in the Mulligan letters that the
manner in which he got the Little
Rock stocks and bonds should be
kept secret from his friends IN
Maine is explained by the follow
ing account which Senator LOT M
Morrill, gave me in 1876 of his trans
actions with Mr.. Blaine: Blaine
came to me- said Mr.. Morrill,, and
asked me if didn't want to buy
some good railroad securities. l
told him l had not much money
and did not know anything about
railroad securities. He said that
he had some which he should adj
wise me to buy; that he had bought
them for a permanent investment,
but would let me have them tor
lust what they cost him in cash.
. He told me what they were-Little
' Rock and Fort Smith Railroad stock
l and first mortgage bonds told him
that though l knew nothing about
, such matters, l knew he did, anC
| would, on his representations
take IS, OOOof the securities. L al
q terward heard that they were no
J., good, and that he had lied to me
: never having paid anything TO
them. took the bonds, went t
=, him and told him that he had go
d the $4,000 from me by false pre-
/ lenses, and that if he didn't return
d it l would make Maine too hot TO
d him. He thereupon, paid me tn
. money and took back the bond.
y "Had Mr.. Blaine honestly rec
(. commended the bonds to his Main
It friends and made no false represen
d tations, he could have had no sucl
anxiety about keeping his transae
:. tions secret"
- This, of course, shows nothin
- especially new, but it adds to tn
, strength of the testimony of MI
Blaine's dishonesty and leaves nc
g the shadow of doubt that he is
- thoroughly corrupt man, and tha
" he belongs in the category of shar
- and somewhat brilliant swindler
, States.

TIE PASSENGER TRAINS.

The ", s. & P, started the long
desiredpassenger trains on Sunday,
Nov, 2, and passengers over that
route can now enjoy comfortable
ride, with no drawback in the shape
oflong stopages at stations, which
in the past SO seriously prolonged
a journey.
There are now three cars used
on each passenger train, the COM
bined mail, baggage and express
car, the smoking car, and the ladies
car. The combined car has the
baggage department at one end. the
express department at the other
end, and the mail department in
the centre, between the two. The
Express end has q stove for the
use Of that department, but the
mail and baggage rooms are
heated with one stove which is set
in the partition between the two
rooms, each room having half Of
the stove init Much to the delight
of the mail agents the door of the
stove is in the baggage room, and
the baggage master has all the work
of firing to do. This is considered
"nuts" by the mail agents. The
mail room is fitted up with every
convenience. and has an extension
iron rack on which to hang mail
pouches. Everybody wants to be
q mail agent. The smoking car il
fitted up with handsome split WOOD
seats composed of alternate narrow
strips Of ash and walnut, which arr
; sufficiently strong to bear any
weight that can be placed on them
and yet not SO rigid as to prevent
, their gently yielding to the weigh

! as to be entitled to seat on any
one of them.

the regulation plush seats, and j

Death Of w. ID. Carver.

After an illness of several weeks,
Mr.. W. D. Carver, Of this city,
died at the residence Of DR.. w. W.
Farnum on last Thursday after
noon and was buried on the fol-
lowing day at the City Cemetery,
Rev. 2. S. Twitty officiating at the
burial service. Mr.. Carver had
been in feeble health for several
months, but as long as he was able
to be up at all, continued to at
tend, in person, to the duties Of
his business. His physicians and
friends attended him in his illness
with unusual assiduity, and every
thing that skillful medical aid and
good nursing could do was done,
but without avail. At the time of
his death, Mr.. Carver was only
about thirty years Of age. lie
leaves devoted wife and three
small children; also an affection
ate mother, sister and brother,
who mourn his untimely loss with
hearts made heavy by the pro-

as he was familiary called-was a
man possessed Of some sterling
virtues. He was man of large
heart, tender feelings and ever
ready to do what he could to re-
lieve the sick or the distressed. A
pre-eminent trait with him was the
love Of his friends-his devotion
to those whom he recognized as
true, loyal friends. He stood al
ways ready to serve them, either
by opening heart full of tender
sympathy or else by contribution
more substantial and more active.
Like the rest Of us, Will Carver
had his faults, but over these, let
us spread the pure white mantle Of
charity and remember only his
virtues. TO the bereaved family
we tender our deepest sympa-

An Elegant Party-A Fine Sue
cess.

While it was impracticable for
US to attend the elegant Leap
Year party at the splendid palatial
residence Of Judge Rogers on last
Friday night, We learn from those
who attended that it was a most
brilliant affair. The occasion was
one of great pleasure to the guests
and they enjoyed it, we learn,
immensely. Like the one given
at the residence Of Mr.. Q. B.
Stevens, the managers had spared
no pains to make it q brilliant
succass-and that they succeeded
we learn from everyone with whom
we have conversed. The host,
Judge Harrison Rogers, is pre-
eminently a man + social quail
lies, as well as his elegant lady,
and we doubt not that everyone
who attended were made to feel
free and easy. The supper, We
learn, was repiete with every deli
cacy that the taste could divine,
and the ornamentation radiant
with beauty. We are sorry that
We have not the details before US
necessary to write a more accurate
description Of this brilliant party.
Thinking Of course that Mrs. Me
Nulty would write it up at length,
inaslnuch as We had rendered her
through Mr.. McLain unlimited
space, we failed to get the partjc-
ulara as thoroughly az We should
otherwise have done. Enough to
say, however, that the party was q
big success and all those WHO at
tended we're delighted with the
evenings pleasure.
