Dr. Carpenter,s Death.

The death of DR.. B. D. Carpenter re-
moves an unusually competent and expert
enced physician from service among an
unusually large circle of patients. He was
one of the kindliest and gsntlest of men in
the sick-room. He had pleasant word
for everybody, and his cheerful disposition
was as effective to the sufferer as his medi-
cines were. He had neither been looking
nor feeling well for some months, and
some time ago he went to Brazil with DR..
James Wilkinson for companion, in
search of rest and new vigor. The trip did
not benefit him much, and it was evident
when he returned that he was still sick
man. He nevertheless went the rounds
faithfully and cheerfully as ever, till his
disease and oyerwork brought him to his
bed. DR.. Wilkinson was at his bedside,
expanding all the resources of his skill in
an effort to save his life, bat without avail.
1t became apparent, week ago, that death
had set his seal upon his brow, and Thurs
day morning the Doctor passed away. Doc
tor Carpenter was one of the chief figures
in the great Vosburgh trial. He had at
tended the suspected ministers wife during
the illness that, Vosburgh's accusers said,
was due to the administration Of antimony
by her husband. Dir. Cornell insisted that
Vosburgh was killing his wife with the
slow poison. DR.. Carpenter insisted that
the woman was only suffering from a spe-
cies of migratory rheumatism. and Carpen-
ter had the satisfaction of seeing his judg-
'ment indicated by the jury's verdict of
"not guilty." The Doctor was originally
from White Plains, had been eighteen
years or SO in practice on "the Hill, and
was in his sixty-second year at the time of
his death. The funeral will be tomorrow,
from his home, No. Il Monticello avenue,
and the interment will be on Long Island.

PHIIADELPHIA, Sept. 12.-It is generally
understood that there is considerably more
than talk in the rumors which have been
aaoat of late regarding coming amicable
arrangement between the Pennsylvania and
the Reading Railroads. The relations of
the two companies in this State have here
tofore been anything but friendly, and the
"cut-throat policy" which was adopted by
both was alike damaging to both. 1t is.
therefore, with feelings of satisfaction that
they note a growing friendliness on the
part of the Pennsylvania, and an apparent
willingness to establish peace between
the two companies. AS yet no definite
action has been taken, nor has any meet
ing Of the parties interested been held, but
it is understood that such conference is
likely to be called before many weeks.
Stephen A. Caldwell, one of the receivers
of the Reading Railroad Company, said to-
day that q friendly feeling between. the
two companies which was very gratifying
had undoubtedly sprung up of late, and
that their relations were now much more
harmonious than they had been for years.
esaid that there had been no meeting of
the presidents, though he intimated that a
conference was not unlikely upon the re-
turn of President Roberts, Of the Pennsyl-
vania, who is now on tour of inspection
over the company's lines.

NEWARK, Sept. 12.-At the meeting of
the Essex Republican League here last
evening, w. G.. Holton, chairman of the
campaign committee, offered resolution /:
That the Essex Republican League urge
upon the Republican City Central Commit
tee through its representative members in
such committee the feasibility of adopting
some plan under which all ward meetings
will be conducted only by Republicans of
their own wards, the League being con-
WINGED that the adoption of such plan will
do much toward the adjustment of the
hackneyed "packed primaries" "ma-
chimes, etc., as only Republicans will con-
duet their meetings, which will be attended
by all party adherents if assured that their
presence and work will secure the fttest
men for the several positions.
The resolutions provoked lively discus
sion, entered into generally by the mem
bers PRESENT, and they were finally unani-
mously adopted. They will be presented
to the Republican City Central Committee,
and their adoption strongly urged by E w.

made by officials to suppress anti-German
demonstrations and prevent the soldiers
from mixing with the people, concluding
that matters are very serious. But Bis

would result in upsetting the most sympa-

the object of Germany in annexing the

poets an increase of trade with the Pacific

noNDoN, Sept. 12.-The examination of
Mr.. Stead, editor OF the Pal Nall Gazette
Mrs. Jarrett, Mr.. BramweIl Booth, Mrs.
Coombe, Mr.. Jacques, and Maury, the de-
PENDANTS in the Eliza Armstrong abduction
case, was resumed at the Bow Street Police
Court to-day. Mr. Russell counsel for the
defence, continued the cfoss-exam nation
of the mother of Eliza Armstrong. Mrs.
Armstrong adhered to her recent denials
that she had sold her child to Mr.. Stead or
| any one else for immoral purposes. Coun-
sci for the defence then asked few ques-
tons tending to prove that the selling of
the child was not known to the father that
witness kept the matter a secret from her
husband.
AT the reopening to-day of the prosecu-
ton of the Pail lNdu Gazette and the editor,
and of his associates in the Eliza Armstrong
abduction case, there was an immense and
NOISY mob in Bow street, which threatened
the greatest disorder. The police were
Obliged to guard all the approaches to the
court room, in order to prevent riot,
which threatened to break out at every
moment. The feeling is intense against
Booth and Mrs. Jarrett, and they would
Certainly have been lynched by the excited
cN-@Noo
protected by the police. The crowd mis-
TOOK several cab arrivals in front OF the
court for tho objects of their wrath,
and tried to break through the guard
and rush upon the occupants of
the vehicles. They were only pre-
vented by the most strenuous efforts of
the officers, and being fooled in their muir
.derous purpose, vented their rage in groans
az hooting. Stead is in less dlsfavor with
the mass of the people than Booth and
Mrs. Jarrett. Although the feeling toward
him Is far from friendly, he is couHted as
well-m Gaming busybody who has been
made the dupe of the woman Jarrett. He
cuts very small figure in the whole affair,
and the expressions the mob hurled at him
were fu of contempt, but were not yio-
lent and threatening, as in the case of the
| others.
The defendants in this case continue to
ind unrelaxed support from the many
Methodists and other Dissenters, although
| Church people hold aloof from the affair,
OF frown upon it. In ''social purity" circles
the agitation continues looking to a govern
ment prosecution of the members of the
aristocracy whose names have been in
volved IN the Jefriss scandal, but there is
no likelihood of this being done. The re-
lglous press asks why Mrs. Jarrett, who
had become repentant and had engaged in
the work of rescuing young girls from Q
vicious life, should be prosecuted, while
Mrs. Jeffries and her aceomplices in the
work of crime should escape molestation at
ths hands of the law The excitement
concerning these matters Is so keen that
the government will be obliged to take
some action which shall satisfy the de-
mands for justice which thus comes from
the people and the Dissenters.,

The Prohibitionists of Iowa have recent
ly received q very black eye. 1t was ad-
ministered by number Of gentlemen sit
ting on form known MS the Supreme
Bench. Under the law of Iowa no one can
sell liquor in the State but druggists, and
they can not sell it except upon written
prescription. But some gentleman of
liberal views conceived the idea that this
was an invasion, of the citizens constitu-
tional rights, 50 he made up test case and
carried it to the court of last resort in order
to reach q final decision The opinion is
to the effect that no man is compelled to-
call in a physician. He may diagnose his
own case and write his own prescription
and any druggist is required to fill the
order. Now the thirsty Iowan who wants
a drink can get it without much trouble,
and the Prphibitory law, by going too far,
has overshot the mark. It is rather late in
the day for the enforcement of blue light
ideas in this country, and the Supreme
Court of Iowa is entitled to vote of thanks
for its decision.
