The Big Kent BuiIdinK.

AT the foot OF Orange street, below
Railroad avenue, stands q six.story
building not counting basement and
attic, 80 large and imposing In appar-
ancs than even the old Hunsberger
bui lding is small In comparison to it.
1t 10 los long by 80 wide. The stone
foundations are three feet thick and the
brick walls, including partition walls,
are 20 inches thick from bottom to top.
The outside architecture is not flash but
unique and handsome, there being o
plentiful supply OF black brick in the
window jambs, arches and cornices.
Its appearance denotes business in the
future, and no one-horse business At
that. The girders, posts and joists are
all OF ship oak. Tho joists are by IL,
and placed twelve inches apart. They
are calculated for heavy strains and q
heavy weight.
What this building was intended for
nobody seemed to have any def n ite
idea. They knew that Daniel Fl. Kent
was building 1t and that meant solid
business. A representative OF the RE.
across Mr., Kent as he was coming
away fiom his building, when the fol.
lowing conversation took place:
Mr.. Kent, l suppose you don't care
about being asked what that large
building Is for that you are buiidiug?"
Mr.. Kent hesitated Q moment, and
then said "Oh it's no secret. 1t Is
meant for business"
Ipresume no, but would you be 30 kind
az TO inform me what kind of business
IL to be carried on In it?"
Yes, it Is to be a general warehouse,
|something that is needed in this city"
All, indeed; we'll you are q great
many years ahead of time In putting up
such building in that part Of the
city"
Why, that ia just the business part
of the city, and where most of the bust
ness is to be done. We are organizing
general warehouse company, and will
apply for charter Of incorporation
soon. l have several applican ts alread =
for 1t. You see, it Is built with the ex
pectation of running cars into 1t from of
boats as we'll Az from railroad tracks"
''Is the B. Il p. Railroad Company an
applicant az one of the tenants, or has
the company anything to do with it2'
we asked"
Mr.. Kent hesitated, and said, "it
was not particularly for that Com
pany."
But" we continued, "you would,
| suppose, have no objection to the Com.
paDy as a tenant?"
"Oh no, not in the least, but II had
time would tell you all about our K
pectations in the future development OF
business in that part Of the city, but
time is pressing now and 1 must be ex
oused."
The busy Mr.. Kent then hurried on
to attend to the details of his varied
bu siness, which no other man than Mr..
X ent could successfully y attend to.

Mrs. TalIey's Funeral,

The funeral of Mrs. Sarah w. Talley
from the Union NJ. E.church on Monday
afternoon was very largely attended,
the church being considerably crowded.
The choir opened the impre ssive ser.
vices by singing " Asleep in Jesus.
Blessed Sleep" Rev. W. B. Gregg led
in prayer. Rev. Adam Stengle, a former
pastor, made very touching address,
full of comfort to the mourning rela.
tives. Rev. @. w. Prettyman followed
in an address of unusual psthos and
sympathy, giving q relation of the
christian experience Of the decea sed /,
which was very bright at the time of
her decease. The mourning friends
were exhorted to be faithful, with the
full assurance of meeting where there
would be no more parting. A number
of floral EN- blems from the Union Sun
day school, the Foreign Women's
Missionary Society and from friends,
attested the esteem and love In which
she was held by those who knew her
best. Thomas Mitchell was the under
taker, who furnished a beautiful
mahogany casket, heavily mounted
and with an inscription plate with
name and date of birth and death oi
the deceased. The remains were in
TERED in Riverview Cemetery.

Political,

The nomination for Lieutenant Gov.
ernor of New York on the Democratic
ticket, made vacant by the declination
of Flower, was not filled by the State
Committee last night. The matter was
deferred until to day. 1t is understood
that Governor Hill and majority of
the committee favor General Slocum for
the vacancy.
The Republican State Convention OF
Massachusetts will meet in Springfield
to morrow. 1t is said "there is little
chance of contest in regard to nom l.
nation," and that the ticket of last
year will doubtless be accepted, with
the exception of A. w. Beard in place
of State Treasurer Gleason. The "Mug.
wumps " will probably be let alone,
and no obstruction is expected from the
Prohibitionists.

II unpty Dulnpty.

There was g large audience at the
Opera House last evening to witness
the opening performances of Suydam's,
Humpty Dumpty Company. Maurittus
the clown, is excellent and bids fair to
rival George L.Fox. He kept the audi.
ence in continual roar of laughter
with his comical adventures. The
variety business was very good, and the
Elmar Brothers excel in their perform
ance on the bars. This evening there
will be change Of bill, and a numbe
OF new specialties will be iptrodu ed.
/" Robert Macaire," an old time panto.
mime, formerly performed by the Raw.
els, will be given, and as it is brimful OF
fun, all who enjoy hearty laugh should
be sure to attend.

The II. d r.. Railroad.

A despatch from Philadelphia to the
Baltimore Sun under date of the 9th
instant says: Several conferences have
been held recently between the mana.
gers Of the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Companies with
reference to q traffic agreement bet ween
the two companies by which the passen.
ger and freight business OF the Baltimore
and Ohio to New York by way of the
Baltimore and Philadelphia lines is to
be carried over the Pennsyl lvaRia tracks.
Overtures were made by the Pennsyl Iva
MIA that II the Baltimore and Ohio
would absndon its proposed connection
with the Reading and only build Its
tracks TO Gray's Ferry, the Pennsylva-
mia Company will carry the Baltimore
and Ohio's freight and passenger busi-
ness TO New York and the East upon
the same terms as 1t does Its own that
| this transportation shall not be embar-
rassed in any way, and that the move
ments shall be as expeditions as the
Pennsylvania does its own busi-
ness.
The Pennsylvania also promis ises to
draw up contracts in such way that
it shall be binding to the most extreme
degree. This will include the advan.
tage Of passenger service from the
l Broad street station. The Pennsylva
MIA asks that the Baltimore and Ohio
take no initiative while the contracts
are in force, In cutting rates from the
West to New York. or the East to the
West. These overtures are accepted
as las been rumored. The new line
will therefore be stopped at Gray's Fer
ry, 30 far as the Reading connection is
concerned, but the line through "The
Neck" 10 the Delaware river is to be
built.
Little credit is placed in tn,
report by the officers OF the b. & P. Rail
| road in this city, for two reasons frs
Mr.. Garrett, President Of the road, only
arrived home from Europe on Thursday
and has had no time to consider such al
important proposition, and second tha
by accepting it, 1t would defeat tht
main object CT the building of the road
which was to secure connection with
| New York and the East.

A Young 6iri's Suicide.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Sept. 2S.-On Satur.
day night John Herwin, a prominent
young lawyer of this city and Neenah,
. town thirteen miles, distant, took Miss
Dollie Lagrange, Neenah society belle,
to party and dance at Brooks Corners,
few miles down the Lake Shore road.
The next morning the girl died in great
agony, having taken dose of rat poi
son. In her room was found a note, in
which she stated that, on the homeward
drive, Herwin had dragged her from the
carriage and committed an outrageous
assault on her at lonely spot in the
woods. One Of her fingers was broken
in the struggle. He had then driven
her home and gone to his own residence
In Oshkosh.
The police found Herwin on Sunday
night in Menasha, town across the
river from Oshkosh, and brought him
through byways to the jail here. They
were pursued by almost the entire
population of the two towns, many
carrying ropes and swearing to hang
the criminal. To- night they are sur
rounding the jail, and any movement
to lynch him would receive general CO.
operation. He is 28 years of age and
the son of very wealthy farmer. Miss
Lagrange was buried this morning. She
was but 18 years of age and bore an ex-
cellent character.
