was frustrated in the endeavor.
Next day the old folks relented, d
license was procured, and, accom-
panied by several friends, they
sought the squire. He was found,
and in the public road, OH top of
hill between Blaine and Rich

the doctor was in Peach Orchard the
night Of the fire, so intoxicated that
he could not have gone to the i'll
lated house. We refrain from any
expression of opinion concerning
the unfortunate affair, hoping how
ever, for the sake of the accused
and his relatives that he may be
found innocent of the monstrous
charge. This is chapter one of an
exciting history. Number two
opens with
ALMOST A TRAGEDY.

pected that the hot blood aroused
by the incident above narrated
would cool very soon, or that it
would cool without further trouble.

uor He went back to Peach Or
chard on the Saturday afternoon
train, and on Sunday he was at
the scene Of fridays fire. Not far
above the Burgess place lives aman
named Rose. Here was Edward
Burgess, DIR. Swetnam's brother-in-
law. Swetnam rode toward the
house where Burgess was standing
with rifle in his hand. Swetnam
was riding a mule, and as he caught
sight of his brother-in-law he reach
ed for his pistol, Burgess was too
quick FIR him, for he instantly
raised his rifle and fired, fhe bali
going through the doctors Bride
hand and grazing his body. 1t was
reported here that he was shot in
the chest and would die, but the
wound was as above stated. We
presume that at the examination
to be held on the 9th all the facts
connected with this very unfortu-
nate affair will be brought to light.
We should have said before that at
the time the house was burned DR..
Swetnam's wife and children were
there with Mrs. Burgess.

Conservative, discreet and careful
of movement, the President had evil
IDENTITY anticipated this "hand-to-hand
fight with the bad elements of both
parties" and was ready for the contest.
He may not always have scored q vic
tory, yet he has demonstrated that in
his aims and purposes-as evinced by
his action-he has ever cherished the
theory that good government, econo-
mically administered, is the greatest
desideratum in the conduct Of public
affairs. The people Of all parties and
sections have watched him and watch
ed him narrowly, and from all parties
and conditions of men comes the une-
quivocal verdict of honest, faithful,
manly endeavor to deal Justly with all
and to conduct the government with
an eye single to the common good,
Every candid, honest, unbiased man
admits this much, and the admission
is proof he has advanced from tho
chrysalis state of rancid partisan bigot,
ry to the more realistic, broader and
manlier ground Of true Republican
citizenship-the good of the people
rather than transposing and bartering
the popular veal for individual gain
and aggrandizement,-Deleware Coun-

The estimate of Undertaken Merritt,
who had charge OF the funeral Of Gen
eral Grant, placing the probable cost
at from $4,000 to-$50,0OO, has created
much surprise among undertakes in
this city. Undertaken ]. Lewis Good
said he could not see how any such
amount could be charged. II was
present at the funeral and without
knowing positively just where Mr..
Merritt's expenses began and ended l
do not see how any such figure could
possibly be reached. Now, / do not
care to go on record as saying that
such figure is not within the range
of possibilities, but l do say that if Mr..
Merritt had to pay for the casket, the
canopy and all the accessories the bill
in total ought not to be over $4,000
and that is outside figuring. The
funeral ceremonies of Henry Clay in
this city, for instance, were elaborate,
though, of course, nothing like Grants
yet the exepnse came under 81, 900"
Undertaken Bringhurst said that
Mr.. Merritt must have benn joking
when he put the probable expenses oil
the funeral at even 10000 ~ dc
not see how it could be possible fol
such bill to be made up. The thine
seems perposterous.
y Undertaken Farley could not bS
seen, but the manager in charge said
that the figure did not seem unreason
able. "Of course" he said, "Mr. Mer
rift makes a little profit off of it a
100000 Lincoln's funeral services
while his body lay in state and o
which we had charge, cost between
$4,000 and $1,000. While l do no
know anything about it, / think tbs
bill could run as high as 10000 anC
still be fair bill"
