Life and Destroyed Two Families.
DIR. j. +. Fisher, physician, who lives
on Paramount avenue, Philadelphia, below
Eleventh street, was arrested late Saturday
night and locked up in the Eighth district
police station, Philadelphia, to await the
result OF the coroner's inquest Monday in
the case of Elizabeth Russell Thompson,
aged 81 years, who died October 26th at
the st. Elmo Hotel, where she was en-
ployed as chambermaid. At the time OF
her death, DIR. Fisher, the attending
physician, furnished the board of health
with certificate to the effect that death
was the result of peritonitis. Acting
upon suggestion contained in IN onony-
nous note received one day last week at
the coroner's office, Deputy Coroner Ash
bridge and DR.. II. f. Formad,' coroner's
physician, visited Kenneth Square on Fri
day, had the body of Mrs. Thompson ex-
humed and DIR. Formal there made u
post-mortem examination, which he says
tclearly shows that the womar's death
was caused by criminal malpractice"
The unfortunate girl was the daughter
of the late David Russell, deceased, a
miller near Kennett Square borough. Her
father had in his employ William Thomp-
son, q young and handsome married man.
The girl became deeply attached to him,
and frequently met him clandestinely. In
the fall of 1874 Thompson and his wife
left Kenneth Square and went to Will
mington, Del, where the former engaged
in the sewing machine business.
About two months afterwards, Mr..
Russell received a letter from him saying
that his wife was ill, and asking that
Lizzie might be permitted to come down
and spend few days at his house. Lizzie
was told of Thompson's request, and was
very anxious to go. Her father con
sented. She remained at Thompson'i
house several days. When she wen
away Thompson, at his wife's request
went to the station with her and never re
turned to his home. The two eloped ant
went to Richmond where they were mar
ried and lived together until 1883, whel
Thompson died leaving her with tw,
children. Since then she has hard worl
to support herself, the children beinl
cared for by her uncle. Both tn
woman's parents died soon after tn
elopement Thompson's deserted wifi
and child reside in this city.
An investigation resulted Monday i
in DIR. jill. Fischer of No. 1043 Fairmoun
avenue being held responsible for th
death. The verdict of the coroner's jur
was that the cause of death was pei
itonitis, due to criminal operation.

KEITHsBURG, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-A terrible
accident occurred yesterday at the new
iron bridge which is being built near here
by which four men lost their lives and
several others were severely injured. 1t
appears that several workmen were on q
temporary scaffold attempting to raise an
iron stanchion preparatory to ironing a
section of the long span of the bridge
and when about an angle of 45 de-
grees had been obtained, the corner post
of the traveller gave way, and, with a
crash and roar like thunder, the whole
staging, with men, machinery and pom
derous iron column fell into the deep
water below. Pat Conway, James Mcoann
and John Olser are buried under the
debris in the bottom of the river. All
are from the east. Pat Noonan of Clinton
Iowa, was killed. His body was re-
covered. William Bassett of this place
has both legs broken above the knees and
one leg below the knee. One man, who's
name is not known, has broken leg ant
is injured internally. The wounded ar

Christianity among CoIIegians.

Editor Gazette. Through inadyertence
your Newark correspondent reports
me as saying authoritatively at the
Y. M. @. A. service last evening at Della
ware College, that "only one out of every
nine college students is Christian or
even church goer." This statement is
SO palpably incorrect that many of your
readers would probably question it any
way, but inasmuch as it is said to have
been uttered authoritatively, | beg to cor
rect what might otherwise mislead others
speaking on the same subject. There are
rs per cent of young men who never at
tend church. OF college students in
America, numbering fully 100000 young
men in over 10000 academical, theologi-
cal, legal, commercial, scientific, and poly
technic, medical and normal colleges less
than one-half are protesting Christians.
Your correspondent was probably mislead
into his statement by my saying that only
one in about seven or eight Christian col
lege students enters the Christian min
istry. EDWARD HENRY EZEKIEL.

Interesting Exercihess
A public installation of the officers of
Hope Lodge, No. 81, /. q. o. f., was
held in the auditorium of Odd Fellows
Hall Lost evening, and was witnessed by
about 800 people, many of whom were
ladies. The imposing ceremonies were
conducted by Grand Master J. H. Seal
assisted by the other officers of the Grand
Lodge. The Uniformed Degree Camp
was present and participated in the exer-
cises.
After the professional entries of the
several organizations, and the rendition
of the opening ode, the oficers-elect of
Hope Lodge entered the room and were
duly installed. Following are the officers !:
N. c., e. @. Anderson v. g., DIR. II. I'll.

dered number of beautiful selections
during the evening.
Following the exercises an address was

upon for an address, and in response gave
an amusing anecdote of the 233d Masonic
degree. Addresses were also delivered by
p. G. M. j. H. Chandler, M. D., of Cen

The latter in closing presented
Chairman Thomas Mitchell with
huge tin star and horn rs q
mark of appreciation of his
services in the capacity of marshal upon
recent trips of the order to Norristown,
Pa, and Baltimore. The presentation
was made in humorous vein, and being
unexpected, found the recipient unpre-
pared for extended remarks in accepting
the tokens. He, however, met the emerg-
ency in characteristic reply. Short ad-
dresses were made by members of the
order. and the exercises were concluded
with the rendition of the closing ode.

BUTCHERS MAKING WAR.
Farmers and SINNERS Arrested and
Held for Court.

The butchers of this city are making
crusade against farmers and SINNERS
selling meat on the curbstone markets.
They have been keeping close watch
upon them and have been making quiet
inquiries as to whether or not the farmers
have been complying with the law. On
Wednesday week half dozen arrests were
made on warrants sworn ont be ore the
justices of the peace of this city, and on
Saturday more were added to the number.
The warrants in some cases are for failing
to make the affidavit required by law be-
fore the city clerk, and in other cases for
selling meat other than that raised on
their own farms.
The law limits farmer to killing six
beeves year, and the butchers have kept
the run of the sales SO we'll that they
know when farmer exceeds his limit.
Several of the curbstone butchers have
been held to bail fol the next court OF
general sessions, and more will probably
be bound to appear there before the
crusade ends.
It is expected that additional arrests
will be made Saturday morning, unless
some of the spotted parties remain ava,
from market. A number of cases will
probably come up Mt the November tern
of court, md the war will create d warn
interest among farmers living near TIN
city who attend market.

a BROKEN LEG.
Philip p. Eyre Badly Injured by a
Failing Rock.

Tuesday afternoon Philip p. Tyre,
the well-known quarryman, was working
in his stone quarry at Riddles Banks,
digging under rock which he thought
was fast. In digging the rock was
loosened and in rolling struck Mr.. Tyre
and threw him some distance down the
bank. 1t fell upon his left leg and broke
it just above the ankle. Mr.. Tyre was
assisted to his dwelling, No. 1921 Gilpin
avenue, and DIR. Bullock summoned, who
reduced the fracture and dressed the leg.
Mr.. Tyre was not otherwise injured ex.
cept that his fall for the time being had
the effect of shaking him up considerably.
Mr.. Tyre is over 60 years of age and is
known throughout the city and vicinity
as one of its leading quarrymen. He is
in robust health, which will tend tc
assist him to speedy recovery from hi'
painful injury.

Husband and wife commit Suicide.

DENVER, Con, Nov. Ga special to the
Tribune Republican, from Salida, says
g DIR. j. H. Nonamaker and his wife were
found dead in bed yesterday morning
with bullet holes in their temples From
letters left by them to the editor of the
NewS, it seems that both had grown dis
couraged over their inability to get
friends to indorse note for $500, and
had agreed to commit suicide together.
Wednesday night at IL O'Clock was the
time agreed upon to put their resolution
into effect. They retired with loaded
pistols, and when the clock tolled the
hour of midnight each fired, dying in.
stantly. AS Nonamaker was jealous and
brutal, the general belief is that he killed
his wife during jealous fit, wrote the
letter, and then committed suicide.
