Plain Talk About the Park.

wish TO say few words about this
much talked OF park. 1 am man who
has never held any public office. nor am
seeking any now, but 1 have the
interest of our citizens at heart. Ii
am rightly informed, the debt Of our
city at present is over one million and q
half dollars, the interest of which is
over eighty thousand dollars a year.
This interest weuld not be 80 heavy q
burden II 1t flowed through the proper
channel, but 1t is all paid away to
money gam blers. Every man knows
that II the finance of this city was at
tended to as a strict business man
attends his own business, we would not
have one half the debt on our city that
We have AZ present.
We have nothing to show for this
enormous debt. One half of our streets
are scarcely passable in the winter sea-
son. We have not one public square In
the city. At the best of times there are
many poor men and their families sui
fering for the want of the necessaries
OF life. Let those experts at finance
cipher up and see how many poor men
the interest Os this debt would keep IN
work the whole@year around at tbs
wages they are paying them at present
and the good the circulation of thi'
money would be to the citizens IL
general.
1t would give me the greatest plea
sure il / thought our city fathers hat
the interest of the citizens at heari
when they were rushing this parl
business through, but defy any maj
to shew me where the minority evel
before voted with the majority for suci
unnecessary expenses. 1t has alway
been the custom for the minority Il
vote against the majority, and theI
when the election came off to show
what their party had done. l saw In tn
Morning News of last week lette
from the honorable Mr.. Cause, statinI
that the heavy tax payers are all II
favor Of the park, and that the onl.
ones opposed to it were the small Ia.
payers. 1 agree with the gentlema
there. 1t Ia the small tax payer tina
has the right to be interested. If MI
Cause would work fifteen or twent
| years to earn little home he would h
iuterested also. He has never lost muc
sweat In earning the millions he own
and If our city fathers are allowed to &
on as they are at present, increasing th
debt of the city, poor mans taxes wi
be heavier on him than rent shoul
be. Yours, A CITIZEN.

A FreRk of Nature.

Nellie Drummond, colored woman
living at Onancock, Va, gave birth
several days ago TO a male child pre-
senting a remarkable freak of nature.
The child has what at first sight ap-
peaas to be two heads. From the back
OF its neck protrudes a large sack or
bladder as large as the head, and par
TALLY covered with hair. The child is
still living. On examination the sack
was found to contain a watery sub
stance, slightly tinged with blood.
The doctors say that if the child lives
till August its life can possibly be
saved by cutting off the excrescence'
1t is said that the child spoke as soon
as 1t was born, calling it's mother dis
tinctly three times, and creating a
great sensation among the colored peo
pie of this region. Large crowds Of
people, white and colored, have gone Il
the house to see the child. The mother
is widow, whose husband died sew
eral months ago.

William Shaw, a laborer OH the Bal

with an accident about 6 o'clock on
Monday evening which resulted in his
death about two hours afterwards.
Shaw, with several fellow workmeD,
had got on a fat car near the Shellpot
creek to go to his boarding house, and
was standing up. AS the engine at
tached to the cars started he was thrown
forward and fell under the wheels,
which passed over both legs above the
knees, crushing them badly. He was
picked up and brought in to Shallcross
and Lowering avenues, where DIR. Pal
mer did ali in his power to ease his pain
until the arrival Of the ambulance, when
he was taken to the County Hospital.
The crushed limbs were ambutated By
Drs. Springer, Palmer and Wallace,
but the unfortunate man was too much
exhausted to rally, and died in about
fifteen minutes after the operation was
finished.
He was about 40 years of age and had
no relatives in this city, having com,
here from New York. Since coming Il
this city he has boarded with Esther

The New Revolver.

About 10 O'Clock Sunday morning
Officer Socrates II. Kemon of the Nine
tsenth District, Philadelphia, walked
into the station house and taking out
his new Smith & Wesson revolver, asked
Sergeant Thomas Brown, who was be-
hind the desk. how to work 1t.
"This thing is stiff" said Kemon,
laying the revolver on the desk, land
don't work right"
Sergeant Brown was making out his
report at the time and, pushing 1t TO
one side, he picked up the revolver and
began to explain to Kemon how 1t was
worked. Kemon jumped mp on the
railing In front of the desk and sitting
there closely watched Brown. While
the latter was handling the weapon it
suddenly went off and the ball struck
Kemon in the back of the neck, passing
out of the right cheek, and then taking
an upward course went through the
window jamb and struck the brick
wall, bounding back half way across
the room. Brown dropped the pistol
on the desk, and seeing the blood squirt.
ing from Kemon's 9 neck hurried to his
| assistance. He led the wounded man
over to q chair and sat him down. The
officers on the second floor. hearing the
shot, hurried down stairs to ascertain
what 1t was and were startled to see the
blood streaming from Kemon's face.
at was an accident" said the
wounded man, land Sarg is not to
blame"
A stretcher was brought out and four
officers carried their wounded comrade
to the Pennsylvania Hospital. After
he left the station-house Sergeant
Brown, who was greatly affected by
the accident, suddenly dropped to the
floor in faint. He was restored In q
few minutes, but was 80 nervous that
he was compelled to 90 off duty.
At the Pennsylvania Hospital Kemon
was treated by DIR. Penrose who said
the wound WAS not dangerous and that
the officer would be about again In a
short time. Kemon, hearing that
Brown was worrying great deal about
the accident, sent for him last evening
and the Sergeant visited him at the
hospital. The Injured man told Brown
, that there was no occasion for him to
3 feel bad about the affair, that the shoot
!, ing was pure accident, and as his in
Ijuries were not serious he would be
! around in a few days. Brown felt 80
3 badly that he could hardly express his
| | feelings. Both men are fast friends
| and Brown appears to suffer more from
the accident than Kemon.
On Monday he was very much i'm
Iproved, and will probably be able to
report for duty in q week. 1t would be
hard to find more deeply concerned
= | and worried man than Sergeant Brown,
He says he never had anything in hi,
i life TO affect him so. He passed through
some of the bloodiest battles OF the war

HINToN,W w. Virginia, June 8, 1885,
The weather Is exceedingly warm,
and our farmers are improving the time
by ploughing for corn, believing in the
old adage. "better late than never"
Last Saturday we cut "bee tree" fifty
feet in height; in the operation, to save
shattering the tree, which was hollow,
we sent lad shining II up to the top
with a cord by which to haul up rope,
which we had thrown over the fork of q
sound tree in order to ease the tree
down after cutting. When the lad got
there he found a black snake in the
hollow of the tree and punched him
out; as soon as the black reptile struck
the ground my dog made ribbons out
of him. We cut the tree, and in cut
ting out the piece where the bees were
we behesded another black snake, and
found that these two snakes had been
wintering on the honey and had eaten
all but q small portion. Getting the
bees in q nice new hive they seemed
glad Of the change, for they have now
quite large quantity OF comb aud bid
