From The Philadelphia Press.

from the fttfddefph1d Press.
One evening W. j. Florence. the actor. sat
in the club room telling of his exploits on a
salmon river in New Brunswick. How many
salmon did you catchY' a visitor inquired.
Florence nearly fell from his chair at the
ignorance displayed in the question. Fish
ermen, sir" said he, with freezing hauteur,
"never use the word catch as you apply it.
They kill salmon. They never catch Them"
The rebuked listener turned scarlet but
made no response. A moment afterward
Laurence Jerome, tine father of Lay Ran
dolph Churchill, and an excellent story
teller, began TO talk of his adventures on a
salmon stream. He was descr bing himself
as standing ON bank at daybreak whipping
a JACK Scott" over the water, when he
hooked a big salmon. 81 was so excited" he
said, that | cropped my slungshot in the
water and lost the fish"
dropped what?' Florence asked, in open
eyed astCnlshmeLt
"Mv slungshot," Jerome replied.
"Why, - hat could you do with a slungshot
at such time?' Florence inquired.
Best thing in the world to kill a salmon
with,' Jerome said. going right on with his
story, while everybody roared.

The City Council, it seems, hasn't got
through with its new extension troubles.
1t is reported that the owner of a lot in
the extension has begun suit against the
city to compel it to open lane for his es-
pecial benefit, and the proprietor of
number of lots in the extension has sold
one, it is said, which virtually closes one
of the best built up thoroughfares. The
price paid for the lot was $3.50, and it is
not improbable that when the city gets
ready to open the thoroughfare 1T will
have to pay a very pretty price for so
much of this lot as it reeds.
The parties who brought the suit and
sold the lot are not ''bloated landholders.'
They are among those who wanted so
many streets opened when the discussion
of plans for the new extension was going
on.
The dO-nothIng policy Of the City Coun-
Gil, relative to the extension, is also re-
tardng the improvement of the city.
Many of those who bought lots under the
old plan have had their property so cut
upby the imaginary streets suggested by
Councilmen that they don't know where
to build, and those who are depending
upon the loan associations for money
with which TO build houses are doomed
to disappointment because their lots are
of doubtful value.
1t is a great misfortune that the ma
i0rity of the Council were not sufficiently
Independent to do what they understood
was for the best interest of the city, in the
matter OF this new extension. when they
had the opportunity. 1t may not be too
late now to rectify the mistake. The mis-
take was in listening to few lot owners
instead of acting alone for the interests Of
the city. The plan that ought to have
been adopted was that which called for
large blocks and the securing of the
streets at once.
The mistake TO which we have called
attention, and the delay in opening streets,
will, 10 the near future, become heavy
burden upon the city in the shape of taxes
to meet the expense of buying land for
streets, and removing buildings which
are now being erected, and which will
continue to be erected, on land which will
be required for streets. Short-sighted
people are not those who build cities
though they may make money for them
selves.

THE LATE SAMUEL LAUGHLTN.
The Funeral One of the Largest in the
History of the City.

The Funeral One of the Largest I'm the
History of the City.
The funeral services over the remains of
the late Samuel Laughlin took place
at the family residence, corner of Chap
lin and Fourteenth streets, yesterday
afternoon, and were of a peculiarly solemn
and impressive character. The body ar
rived on the early morning train over the
b. & o. from Chicago, and was met at the
depot in this city by detachment
of Knights Of Cyrene COmmandry
No. 7, X. II. The body, which
was enclosed in a handsome casket,
was at once conveyed to the family resi-
dence, where it was laid in the parlors on
the south side of the house, and the many
floral offerings from relatives and friends
placed about and upon the coffin. These
floral offerings, number of which were
from the business associates and employees
of the various industrial establishments in
which Mr.. Laughlin was interested, have
probably never been surpassed in this city
either in design or beauty, and they elo-
quently attested the high esteem in
which the deceased was held.
At 12 o'clock, the arrangements for
the obsequies having been completed, the
doors of the residence were opened to the
public, and for the succeeding hour and
half an almost uninterrupted stream of
citizens filed past the casket and took
last look at the features of the dead.
Among the multitude OF mourners were
several hundred employees Of the mill and
steel plant at Martins Ferry and Mingo
the latter having come down on the p, G.
and st, l.. on special train, the cars of
which were draped in mourning.
At 9 o'clock the services were commence
ed, being conducted by Rev. DR.. d. A.
Cunningham, pastor of the First Prebyte-
rian Church, at which Mr.. I.aughlin wor-
shipped, he being assisted by Rev. DR..
Cooke, pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church. "Rock of Ages" Mr.. Laughlin's
lavorite hymn, was sung bya choir con-
sisting of Mrs. +. J. Norton, Miss Birdie
Harrison of Piedmont, and Messrs. Will
Day and Joe Rhees. At the conclusion
of thd services the pail
bearers Messrs. W. H. Holloway, L. S.
Delaplaine, ST., A. j. Clarke, Col. Robert
White, George r. Taylor, J. W. Ross,
John J. Jones, and II. K. List, bore the
body to the hearse, and few moments
later the mournful procession was wend-
ing its way to Greenwood, where the re-
mains were consigned to earth.
