In Memoriam.

did not desire 10 lay bruised or faded
flower ON the grave of CHARLEY BLAND, as
he was lamili ,rly known, but rather wait
and III moment relieved of hurry or care,
say Il word Ia his memory
When the cold touch OF death is placed
swiftly upon II warm and bounding pulse,
when the light fades from eyes not yet dim
with age, when young heart not yet filled
with al lies full experience ceases longer
To beat, then it is that we stand dumb and
awe stricken in the presence Of the mighty
Alchemlst who has wrought the sudden and
startling change. Young Mr.. Bland came
in our midst not over a year ago, in vigor-
GUS and joyous manhood, and by his manly
bearing, frankness and sincerity, he soon
had host of friends. Through his short ILL
ness he exhibited that same gentleness, will
ingness aud evenness Of disposition which
had SO prominently marked his short life,
and passed away without IL murmur at the
summons of an All-wisc Providence. Truly
the silver cord is loOsened, the golden bowl
is broken, and they that lookout of the
windows are darkened.
Without partcularzng, il is perhaps
enough to say, and enough 10 know, that
the deceased had friends in every circle where
he was known, who have been deeply sad
dencd at his early demise--so young and so
full Of hope and promise. Here let the cur
tain drop, and let it shut out from the
worlds gaze only the soltest memories as
We leave him To rest in his new made home.
To his devoted and sorrow stricken
mother, whose confidence we have enjoyed
from the earliest hours of her blushing girl
hood, and 10 his many relatives and friends
here and abroad, we add this humble Tribute
and express our deepest sorrow.

Gov. Hamilton delivered the address. He
said population thrives at the Patent Office
machinery Giving the farmers of that COM
munity the benefit of his long experience, he
said he did not think that wheat would re-
main at its low price, and advised his hearers
to plant larger crop this year than usual,
as he believed there would be a profitable
market for it, He told them not to give up
wheat for fruit-growing or stock-raising, as
the Cumberland Valley was a natural wheat
growing region and would ultimately have
the advantage of western lands when the
virgin soil of the West becomes exhausted.
In the meantime they should use the best
agricultural implements, laLor hard and
economize, living for the future, for their
children. He advised them also to put their
money in land and not in stocks, as the in.
vestment would be safer and pay better in
the long run.

FACTS AND FIGURES
In Regards to the Business OF the Past
Year.

BosToN Dec. 81
The Globe tomorrow forenoon will publish
a special edition, giving comprehensive
summary of the business of Boston and other
New England cities during the past year.
From the mass of the matter published the
following facts and figures were CLEANED
Except in some few branches the profits
have been smaller and the volume of busi-
ness less than in 1888. The retail dry
good trade, however has never been more
prosperous, and it has been years since the
building trade has been in such good condi-
ton. In Boston 1888 buildings have been
erected, at cost of 81 500, 900, an unprece-
dented record. Paid out in dividends in
Boston, during 1884, S67 .305, ,S00-a sum far
above the average of years since 1873,
In cotton goods, about the same amount
of business has been done in 1884 as in 1888,
at a smaller profit. The eight broad gauge
railroads running into the city made gain
in net income over 1888 of S2l8,073. In
bread stuffs there has been a marked i'm
provement during the ,year. Most of the
manufacturing cities of Massachusetts report
a very fair business during the year as com
pared with that of 1888, although the profits
are smaller.
Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island
cities have done much better business than
Interviews with several hundred OF the lead
ing merchants and manufacturers show them
to be in very hopeful and confident state of
mind, and they are almost unanimous in pre-
dieting good paving business in 1885.

IN HOOKING VALLEY.
A General Uprising Reported-Dyna.
mite Gone into the Valley.

LOGAN, O, Dec. 81.
There is general uprising in the Hooking
Valley. Sheriff Mccarthy, with large posse,
left on a special train at a late hour last night
to trace the mob. A large shipment of dyna-
mite was received at Nelsonville, yesterday.
Attacks commenced on the railroad bridge.
Special officers are being taken to the region
of Buchtel, where strikes are said TO be con-
centrating with communication cut off at min
ing points. Further particulars cannot be
obtained.
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. ST.
The officers of the Hooking Valley railroad
and coal exchange report everything quiet IN
the valley this morning, though they express
the opinion that there will be some trouble
tonight. They say the demonstrations last
night failed to take active form, for the rea-
son that the strikers were met with such
strong force of guards at the point where
they expected to make an attack. They con-
slider the immense demonstrations at this
time as an effort to keep the miners from
breaking their ranks and going to work, as
many of them have decided to do. Early
this 'norning several shots were Ared at Hap
py Valley, but without doing any damage,
and this was the extent of the outward dem
onstration on the part of the unlawful ele-
ment.

EVENTS OF THE YEAR.
The London Times Review of Affairs in
America.

LONDON, Dec. 81.
The London Times this morning has ten
column review of the events OF 1884. Re-
ferrng to America, it saws:
The absorbing topic of the year was the
election of the President. The session of
Congress ending in March was rendered alb
ortive, both parties desiring to avoid the di-
rect issue on the question of free trade which
was momentarily shelved. The democrats
preferred to play waiting game, hoping to
regain the control of the executive by the
probability of the republicans selecting an
Objectionable candidate. The hope was full
filled. Mr.. Blaine's appeals to the anti-Eng
lish spirit of the Irish voters failed to seduce
them from their alliance with the democrats.
The project of the treaty with Nicaragua,
giving America control of a proposed canal,
has found little favor and will hardly be rati-
fled by the present Congress.
The Times rejoices at the revival of indus
trial activity in the South as shown by the
New Orleans exposition.

doors were forced open with chisels. The
glass was broken in Mason's door and the

judging from the blood left about the store
A quantity of knives and two or three revol-
vers were taken from the show case, and
eight or ten dollars in silver were taken from
the safe, whcA Mr.. Mason thinks was not
locked,
Some hats, clothing, fur cap and two or
three dozen silk handkerchiefs were taken
from Huntngton's. The amount of the
loss is not definitely known but is not sup
posed to be large.
The thief was tracked towards the lower
end of the village after which no further
trace could be found.

A HEROIC DEED.
A Son Swims and Saves the Life OF His

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 81.
A thrilling story of herionism at sea, is
published by the Press today, as told by
Capt. Rice of schooner A. Griffin, which ar
rived yesterday. He says; December 18th,
the wind blew a regular hurricane to the
northeast, then 30 miles south of Cape Hen
lopen. The hurricane carried us along at a
fearful rate. Life lines were stretched along
the deck and preparations were made to leave
the ship in case she should spring leak or
be flooded. Once we were struck full on the
starboard side with a great roll of water and
the next moment sank beneath the second
great wave that closely followed the first, and
almost swallowed us up. The sea made Il
complete break over the vessel and there was
not a man who was not dashed from his place
and thrown about on the deck. That fore
