a BOYS TERRIBLE MISHAP.


NORWICH Conn, April 29.-Carroll f.
SaNton, siX-years-old lad, living at Bean
Hill, was found in field yesterday insen-
sible, with his skull crushed in two places
and portions of the brain on the ground.
He had been sent to the field with horse
and wagon. 1t was believed the horse
had kicked him. He had been lying when
found considerable time before he was
picked up. After the surgeons eXamina-
ton, the skull was softly pressed together
and he was taken home. Death was eX-
pected to follow, but during the night he
rallied and this morning surprised every
body by getting out of his bed and con-
versing i'll a perfectly rational manner.
He says he doesn't know how he was
hurt, but feels pretty well now. Surgeons
think his complete recovery probable.

That the friends of Mr.. Lore should
feel somew hat sore after the defeat OF
their candidate Is not Surprising, when
We consider that every three out Of four
ofthe mass of the people, sympathized
with him and desired his election to the
Senate. After the battle is over the
pc wer OF the administration Is plainly
seen. Members of the Legislature who
were known to be strong Lore men,
when the pinch came vent over to the
other side, and for no other apparent
reason than that the power Of the Fede-
raj administration was on that eide -
Under the circumstances 1t Is creditable
60 Mr.. Lore hat he received as many
votes as he did on the first ballot, and
the fact that these votes stuck by him
on the second ballot was evidence clear
that they had come to stay without any
regard to Federal influence.
The result also shows that Mr.. Bay
ard is in the saddle, and will run the
Federal appointments and dictate the
political policy that is to be pursued.
That he has been successful In making
Mr.. Gray his successor in the Senate
must EN- holden him for the work that
is before him. The only drawback to
his exercising imperial sway is the
question whether he can control the
masses as he can the politicians. The
latter want office, the masses knowing
that there are no offices for them care
nothing for Mr.. Baysrd, and In all
probability will still be found adh-ring
TO Mr.. Lore, stronger in their friend
ship tor him in defeat than in victory
II the report is true that the adherents
of Mr.. Lore with view to electing
him to the United States Senate when
Mr.. Gray's two years Of service shall
have expired, have formed an alliance,
offensive and defensive, and success to
be contingent upon progressive reform
in the State, then the defeat Of Mr.. Lore
will result in more good TO the State
than IL he had been elected. Amongst
these reforms 1T is stated that q Consti-
tutional Convention IL to be called that
all county offices are to be made elective
by the people that district representa-
ton upon the basis of population is to
be provided for and that in every re-
spect the State is to be lifted out of the
old ruts in which it has logged along
for 80 many years past, and put upon a
higher and more progressive platform.
We can see no other course to pursue
that would call forth party strong
enough to stand against Federal dicta-
ton through Mr.. Bayard. 1t will be
useless to enter into q contest with Mr..
Bayard for share of the Federal Off.
cesss for he holds the winning cards and
will play them to the best advantage =
II he wants to keep Mr.. Gray in the
Senate, those who are Mr.. Lore's friend,
need expect no favor. There is nothing
left then than for theIore andSaulsbury
men to combine their forces and tsk,
the lead in State reform. If this will mo-
not bring them through to victory moth

definite policy, they will become bu

THE report of the work done by the
Associated Charities is a commenda-
ton of systematic charities and shows
how much good can be done
with small amount of money when
proper discretion Is used in the distri-
button of the money. While the as
ISOLATED charity plan is encouraging, the
dark side TO the picture is that there
are so many people in our city that
suffer for want of the necessaries Of
life, and the fact that intemperance is
the cause of most of the suffering, casts
still darker shadow over the picture.
That one thousand families out of nine
thousand in our city should be in want
OF food, fuel and clothing, acts "a a
damper on the public mind, but that
the Associated Charities have enabled
TO reduce that number OF ia miles re-
bounds to its credit.

A Charge OF Plag iarisun.

A charge of plagiarism preferred
against Rev. Mr.. Mowbray, was brought
to the attention OF the Conference hold
ing its sessions at Snow Hill, Md. Mr..
Mowbray is fluent speaker, highly
popular with the people, and his preach
ing appears TO have been productive of
much good. HIS career, however. seems
to have excited The envy of some of his
compatriots, and in order to check his
advancement the charge must have
been made The infiuen ce of such &C.
ton must be baneful, and therefore it
is highly repreheusble The poor,
mousing originator of the charge must
possess a soul of infnitesmal proper
lions. Even should Mr.. Mowbray
have gu )ted largely from the sermons
OF some of The fathers, without giving
the proper credit, he might have been
excused, through that charity which
st. Paul ooDmends as covering a mul-
titude Of sins. 1t would be we'll to
assist in covering up a slight detection

the sin may he, it is not half 80 henous
az that OF carping, criticising and eter-
nally stirring up contention. The
spirit that prompts the latter course il
much more in keeping with the dispo-
sition of Belial, and more calculated to
promote his kingdom than any quota
ton made fro II the best sermons Of the
most gifted preachers, without the
proper credit being given. 1t is pity
that all men claiming to be heaven in

tianity is becoming too common there
are too many warriors who are ALWAYS
ready to fight TO promote their cause or
uphold their creed the great need is a
gospel of peace and love, to prepare the
way for the eventual ushering in Of the
grand millennium, to which the truly
good in all ages have looked forward.
ONE session of the Municipal Court a
day is great accommodation 10 Judge
Cummins no doubt indeed, if there
were no sessions at all held we suspect
1t would accommodate him still better
But how about others interested = Per-
sons arrested for any charge will be
held twelve hours longer TO await a
hearing at an additional expense to the
city. By holding the session In the
morning, workingmen who are wit
nesses will be taken away from their
work which is none too plenty at the
best. Already the policemen have
commenced taking their most pressing
cases before Squire O'Neill, when the
fines and costs will be paid to the Coun-
ty instead of the city. If Judge Cum
minis really cannot find time for but
one session of his Court in a day it
would be more convenient to the people
to hold it in the evening instead of in
the morning.
