The Last Sad Rites Over the Three An-
derson Chiiaren.
The three little children WHO were killed
by the falling of the building on Colgate
street on Wednesday morning last were
buried from 26S Railroad avenue on Fri
day afternoon at o'clock. On the top
floor of two-story house at the above
number, in q vacant room, lay three
mangled corpses that on Tuesday last were
the picture of health and childish inno-
cence. The three collins lay next to each
other, saving the space that was left for
visitors to pass around ami view the VIC
Tins Of the dreadful calamity. In the
centre, between Nellie and Bernard, lay
little Katie, the seven months old daughter
of the bereaved father and mother. On
the left lay Bernard, aged nine years and
eight months, and on the right lay Ellen,
aged years. From an early hour in the
morning hundreds of people focked in and
out of the building, and it was with diff
Guilty that a reporter forced his way up
stairs and into the room where the bodies
lay. Men and women of all ages and
nationalities, Irish, German, italian and
English, stood around the door of the

Decoration Day can scarcely be voted a
success by reason of the weather. 1t was
just that sort of day which satisfies no
one. A good solid storm might have left
more fault to find, but it would at least
have been of the positive sort. But as it
was, a CLEAN OF sunshine raised the pleas
ure seekers hopes one moment, only to
dash them down the next by cloud tri-
fe darker than that which preceded it. So
the morning wore away and for most peo-
pie the day was spoiled. The display did
not amount to a great deal, the Grand
Army as usual frittering away their strength
by the usual divided parades, while the
military were called elsewhere. 10 the
uninterested observer it seems that it
would be better to unite all the forces on
Decoration Day or abandon its observance
altogether. 1t is doubtless good thing to
decorate the graves of soldiers, but it should
be done in spirit of unity and good feel
ing or not at all. Even the dead would
urge the acceptance of one ofthese altern-
tives if they could be heard on the sub
ject.

years the Admiral's daughter, Mrs. Della

Mrs Parnell two years ago to open the old

seized at the suit of Joshua 7. Turner and
others, and will be sold by the sheriff on

announcement of the failure of Mrs. Par

Before she took the management of the

It begins to look as if the Hoboken dead
lock would afford the people of this vicinity
the novel spectacle of q man compelled to
accept Office by the order of court. Usu-
ally it works the other way, the courts being
frequently appealed to to- prevent hungry
ofice-seekers from forcing themselves into
offices to which they bore no title or where
they are not wanted. The public will watch
the enforced official career of Mr.. Fitzsin-
mons--if the Office should finally be forced
upon him with something of curious
amusement if with no other sentiment.
They will also be anxious to know what
the courts will do if Mr.. Fitzsimmons per-
sists in his intention of resigning after
he has complied with the order of the court.
Will not that be at least constructive con-
contempt, and cannot the resignation be
prevented by injunction2 There is no end
to the possibilities involved in this case, if
one takes the trouble to look at it from all
sides.

IA necessity growing out of the right of
trial by jury. That he is also judicial
nuisance goes without saying. As conse-
quence of his frequent appearance in the

contempt for jurisprudence that the adage
warrants. When he comes to the trifiing

his personal feelings and predictions as

There's something peculiarly refreshing
about the method pursued by Ackron in
swindling the tradesmen of the town. The
idea of filing your pockets with bogus
checks bearing the name of friend, and
then inviting that friend to ride around
with you, and leaving him 10 the carriage
while you pass the forged checks at stores
where he and you are known, is novel
one, indeed. That was Ackron's scheme
and he seemed to work it successfully.

The gall of the Police Captains reaches
magnificent proportions! Its latest mani
festation is direct defiance of the author
ity of the Board whose servants they as
sumo to be. The Board allows them s., $3.50
per year, but when the monthly payroll
was presented Friday, it was seen that they
had rated themselves at $1,000 per year.
The Police Board sent the payroll back to
them for correction. The Police Captains
have either got to certify their pay at s., $3.50
or subject themselves to liability for insub-
ordination! In the latter event, the Police
Board would be justified in Diminishing them
from the department.
