fl RABBITS REWARD.
Orthodox Hebrews at New York Pay
Material Compliment.

New YORK, Nov. 27.-RabbiB Browne,
Of this city, was appointed by Gen. Han
cock as the representative rabbi of the
Jewish faith in the funeral procession of
Gen. Grant; but the funeral taking placeon
Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, Mr.. Browne
asked permission to walk in the procession,
as riding in carriage is violation of the
Jewish Sabbath. Those in charge of the
obsequies being averse to making changes,
the required permission was not granted,
and Rabbi Browne declined the honor of
participation in the funeral The Grant
family, however, interfered, and Gen. Han
cock issued an order authorizing the rabbi
to take his own means of locomotion.
Thus it was that Rabbi Browne walked
from the City Hall to Riverside Park. The
Reform Jews were displeased with his max
ing the journey on foot as being against
the progressive idea. The Orthodox Jews,
who greatly outnumber the reformers, how
ever, applauded the act, and yester-
day the synagogues, the largest in the
city among them, during the Thanksgiving
service in Rabbi Brownies temple, present
ed him with gold medal and an illumin-
ated address. The medal shows Rabbi
Browne with the pall-bearer's badge, as he
marched in the procession, in high relief in
the center, while under the feet in raised
letters is the legend From City Hall to
Riverside Park, " and overhead the Hebrew
words for BLESSED be hewho Sanctifed the
Sabbath" The names of the donors are
engraved on bar attached to a gold frame
which encircles the medal.

PREMONITIONS OF DEATH.
What Mr.. Hendricks Thought of His Ina

What Mr.. Hendricks Thought of His Ina.
bility to Serve Out His Term.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. = The an
nouncement of the death OF Vice.President
Hendricks was not a surprise to some of
his most intimate Indiana friends here. In
deed, some Of them predicted his early
death some months ago, and no one real
lied more fully than the Vice-Presidert
himself his frail physical condition. He re-
marked to his private secretary some time
ago that he believed that he had discerned
symptoms OF apoplexy of the heart, and
that when he died it would be of that affec-
ton. A short time after the in
auguration of President Cleveland, and
while there were g. number of prominent
Hoosier Democrats in the city, a Democrat
ic state senator who had been on intimate
personal terms with Mr.. Hendricks for
many years said: II don't believe Mr.
Hendricks will serve out the first year of
his official life. Few people know his .phy-
steal condition. His life hangs on the most
slender thread at this moment. That gan
grere difficulty has poisoned his blood. 1t
has been taken up to his brain, has de-
stroyed his nervous system and he is liable
to drop dead at any moment from paraly-
sis, apoplexy, or one of dozen troubles of
the brain or heart. Really, he has not the
physical or mental strength that a vice
president should have. His mind is clear
and strong except at intervals, when he is
momentarily beclouded and loses all con-
troll of himself. 1 have frequently seen
him fall asleep while in a conversation
of the most animated character. When
seated with number of friends, or in the
chair of a presiding officer, he is liable at
moment to go to sleep or drop into a men
tai abstraction which makes him wholly
oblivious to all that is occurring about
him. There is not one chance in three
that he will live q year, and not one in
twenty that he will serve out his term" Al
though very 10th to speak upon the sub
lect, the Vice-President's private secretary
last night intimated that the condition OF
Mr.. Hendricks since his recent induction in
to official life was of the character above
indicated. He said the Vice President had
lived in constant apprehension OF death
from affection of the heart.

VECE-PRESIDENTS.
Deaths While in Office and SUGGESTIONS to
the Presidency.

Deaths While in Office and SUGGESTIONS to
the Presidency.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 26.-Mr.
Hendricks is the fifth vice president who
has died while holding that office, but it has
never before happened that the vice-presi-
dent removed by death was the only man
in the line of succession to the presidency
George Clinton, of New York, elected vice
president with Madison, died April, 1912,
whilst William II. Crawford was president
pro tenn. of the Senate. Elbridge Gerry, of
Massachusetts,, elected vice-president on the
ticket with Madison for his second term,
cied November IA, while John Gaillard
was president pro tenn. Of the Senate.
William R. King, elected vice-president
with Franklin Pierce, never occupied the
chair, but died in Cuba the 18th of April,
1853. David R. Atchison was at that
time president pro tenn. of the Senate, and
was succeeded by Lewis Cass, who, like Mr..
Bayard, was vice president for only day
or so, being succeeded by Jesse D. Bright.
The death of President Henry Wilson
is within recent memory. He died Novem-
Der 21, 1875, while Senator T. W. Ferry,
of Michigan, filled the chair as president
pro tenn.
The Independents who have succeeded
to the presidency upon the death of the
chief magistrate have been John Tyler
(1841), Willard Fillmore (1S5O), Andrew
Johnson QS65), and Chester A. Arthur
(18S1).
The Tuesday following the death of Presi-
dent Harrison Mr.. Tyler arrived in Wash
ington and assumed the reins of govern
ment. Then, as now, there was much
discussion in political circles and in the
press as to the succession in case President
Tyler should die or become disabled, and
there be no president of the senate. Tyler's
first act upon assuming the presidency was
to issue address to the people. When
Sen. Zachary Taylor died July 8, 1850,
Willard Fillmore, being vice-president, be-
came his successor. Mr.. Fillmore was
present in Washington at the time Of Gen.
Taylor's death. Congress was in session,
and Mr.. Fillmore, as vice-president, official
ly announced to the House of Representa-
tlves and the Senate the death of President
Taylor and his own readiness to take the
oath and perform the functions Of the pres
idential office.
The morning of April Is, the day after
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,
Secretary Stanton notified Andrew John
son to name the place where he would take
the oath of Office. Mr.. Johnson named the
Kirkwood House, where he lived. Chief
Justice Chase administered the oath of
office in the presence of Senator Yates and
Gen. Farnsworth, of Illinois, and others.
Chester A. Arthur took the oath OF office
to succeed Garfield in the room of the vice.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. ga
double killing occurred at the South
ern Hotel here last night, which leaves
great doubt as to whether it was MUIR
der or suicide. Charles t. Davis, man.
ager of Davis Circus, came to this citv
October 25. Mrs. Davis was in her
room last night with her husband and
her nephew. The nephewreports that
Mrs. Davis was seated with her
feet on the fender, while Davis
was lying on the bed playing
with a couple of pistols. Sud-
denly one of these was discharged, and
Mrs. Davis sprang up with her hand
to her breast, saying she was wounded.
Her nephew ran out for assistance.
When Mr.. Thornton, the proprietor of
the hotel, entered the room, he found
Mrs. Davis lying on the bed with
bullet through her heart. Davis was
bending over her, apparently trying to
see whether life was extinct. By her
side lay pistol. Thornton took this
up, but Davis angrily said: "Leave
that alone. Don't dare to touch any
thing here" He seized the pistol him
self, placed against his head, and
blew out his brains. Only one pistol
could be found, and that with only
one cartridge discharged. 1t is impos-
sible to say whether the death of Mrs.
Davis was an accident or q murder.
She was only rs, strikingly hand
some brunette and had been married
three years. The couple seemed very
afectionate, and no one had noticed
the slightest trouble between them. A
strange circumstance is that collec-
ton of remarkably fine burglar tools
were found among Davis effects.
Davis was from Mayfeld, KY. His
wife was formerly Miss Annie Wigger-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 26.-The
flags on all the public buildings here are at
half-mast this morning, and forces of men
are engaged in putting up the various in
sigma OF mourning out OF respect to the
memory of Vice-President Hendricks, who
died last evening. In several OF the city
churches to-day, the Thanksgiving serv-
ices were turned into memorial serv-
vices, and Bishop Knickerbocker of
the Episcopal Church, to which Mr..
Hendricks belonged, abandoned his services
altogether. Early this morning W. H..
English received dispatch from the ser
geant-at-arms of the United States Senate,
asking Tor information about the time and
place OF Mr.. Hendricks funeral, of which
he will take charge. An answer was not re-
turned immediately, as the arrangements
had not been made. At Mrs. Hen
bricks suggestion, a number of promi-
nent gentlemen-personal and political
friends were called in to consult
over the matter. A committee con-

Blood, at Pitrsburg, Pa.
PTTsBURG, Pa, Nov. %. This
morning about 1 O'Clock, Samuel Brit
tain, who has been accustomed of late
to sleep in the Office of his son, T. G.
Britain, a well-known coal operator
in the East End, was awak-
ened from his sleep by strange
man near his bedside, who had a
revolver pointed at the old gentle
mans head. Mr.. Britain asked what
was wanted, when the other fired, the
bullet striking Mr.. Britain on the
forehead, but glanced and produced
but slight wound. The two men
grappled with each other, when anoth-
er shot was fired, striking Mr..
Britain on the right arm. He
fell and became insensible, but
was aroused later by fire burning him.
He discovered the led in flames and
managed to throw the bed clothes out
of the window. This morning when
the Office was opened he was found
lying on the floor in a pool of blood,
unconscious. The affair is shrouded
in mystery. No cause is known why
such an assault should have been
made. Mr.. Britain is 7Oyears of age.

A STORM-SWEPT COAST.
Result of the Great Gale Along the Shores
of the Atlantic.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 27.-The storm
which has ragged for several days subsidized
yesterday. At Crescent Beach the princi-
pal hotel was almost completely demol-
ished. The tide tore down the piazzas, and
as the waters rose higher, the surf
broke with full force against the
side of the house. The entire front
and side were dashed to pieces by the
force OF the waves which reached as high as
the second story. Bath houses without
number were carried away. The rain
changed to snow, and the fall in Vermont
and New Hampshire is very heavy, varying
in depth from one to two and one-half feet,
while in some sections there are great drifts,
which seriously impede travel.

time during the deliberations of the BODY it
was believed by many that he would be the
nominee, although he constantly disayowed
any intention of that kind, and never made
any movement himself or through his friends
to bring about such an end.
The last days proceedings of the conven-
ton and the manner of Mr.. Hendricks
nomination as vice-president are summar-
lied as follows:
The convention opened at Hop O'Clock
in the forenoon of the 18th, with prayer by
Rev. DIR. Clinton Locke. Among the pre-
iminary business was a resolution by Nor
rison Munford, of Missouri, not to allow
any change OF a vote of state on the bal
lot in progress. but defer changes to the
succeeding ballot, which was voted down
by viva voce vote. Before the balloting
was taken up William F. Harrity, of Penn
sylyania, withdrew the name of Randall.
During the ballot Dan Voorhees,, of Indiana,
withdrew the name of Mcdonald and sub
mitted that of Hendricks, which was sub
sequently withdrawn by G. V. Menzies, of
Indiana. j. A. Mckenzie, of Kentucky,
withdrew the name of Carlisle, and after
many changes in the vote of states, which
were made amid great enthusiasm, the
second and final ballot ofthe convention for
presidential candidate resulted in Cleve-
land receiving majority of 546
votes over all the candidates. Upon mo-
ton by the Missouri and California delega-
tions the nomination was made unanimo Gus
without dissenting vote. Nominations
for vice-president being in order, the names
of William s. Rosecrans, of California;
Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indiana; John G.
Black, OF Illinois; George w. Click of Kan
sas, and Thomas A. Hendricks, OF Indiana,
were presented. All were withdrawn except
that of Hendricks, who received SIG votes
on the first ballot. The nomination was

last, the committee of the Town Coun-
Gil appointed to investigate the sub
iectof bringing water in pipes into

carefully prepared statement by DIR.

stating that White Oak Spring, or as
Known by some as Silver Spring,
near the B. &c o. r. r., about one
half mile west of the corporate limits
of the town, will furnish at this time,
when all springs are very low, more
than double the quantity of water
needed in case all the families of the

spring is only sixty-tivc feet lower
than the water will be in the projected
reservoir on Church hill, the highest
ground at Or near harEestown, show
ing that the water can he elevated at
a moderate cost. Some general re-
marks were added to the effect that
all plans would be abandoned that
did not assure an abundant supply of
pure water, works of a durable char
acter and especially that the cost of
construction and maintenance shall be
safely within the ability of the town.
The work of maturing the best plan
and estimating in detail the cost of
the same will be pressed and full re-
ports made at an early day.

In these times of business failures
and suspensions it is very pleasant to
note the success of this Seminary
1t is in all respects a " paying insti-
tuition" 1t has furnished its patrons
solid and excellent cducations for
their daughters and wards. 1t has
had a sufficient patron age to reward
its principal. Its Board of Directors
have lately declared a dividend OF
four per cent. upon the stock for the
eight months of the occupancy of the
fine new building. e. from 1st No
vember, 1884, to 1stJuly, 1855. (This
is equal to 6 per cent. per annum to
the stockholders). They have re-
solved and provided to pay G per
cent. per annum upon the stock, in
semi-annual payments in January
and July. Improvements arc pro-
pressed that will soon make the Sem
mary very attractive; and it is hoped
that this home school will soon be-
come the pride of our community.
It is a public bencfactor i'll the mat
tiers of education and of domestic
trade, and deserves large patronage
and ample support.
