A meeting of the executive committee of
the State Firemen's association was held
yesterday at the City Hall. Those present
were: President Hendrick, New Haven; Chief
H. J. Eaton of the Hartford fire department;
Samuel G. Snagg, Waterbury; Chief Daniels
of Willimantic, Chief Jones of Westport, the
secretary, and A. j. Kennedy, this city.
The secretary read the proceedings of the
convention held recently in Bridgeport of
the State association. In this were a num-
Der of votes passed touching minor mat
tiers, such as the payment of bills, the execu-
tive committee in some instances having been
instructed with power to act" In these
cases the executive committee took action,
some of the small claims against the associa-
ton, however, being laid upon the table for
further enlightenment to the propriety of
paying them. The award made to the fam
lily of Captain Edward S. Davis of No. En-
CINE company was found approved.
Mrs Harriet EBeecher stoves Health.
A letter received by a friend from Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe alleviates the alarm
of her friends as to her health. She writes:

consider der nv health as shaft sred BY any means.
but only enfeebled and requiring care am now
seeking restoration by daily open air exercise. With
best wishes, truly your friend.

back such a man as Mr.. Hume2 Do they
wish to deny to missionaries what they grant
to their pastersa Are they ready to take the
responsibility of withholding from service
men whom by all the signs of spiritual earn
estness and power God has called and who
offer themselves, moved as they believe by
the spirit of God and in love to Christ and
their fellow-men, to go to the heather to
preach Christ and him only? 1t is said that
the suspicion of laxity in doctrine, even
though unjust, will repel some conservative
donors. This is a double-edged sword. 1t is
wise not to handle it. The argument always
springs up when a contest arises for prin-
ciple. The answer given by a missionary
of the board is conclusive-Hthe board wants
menl" The Review then shows that the
necessity of harmony in foreign missions in
sisted upon in DIR. A. G.. Thompson's recent
Missions" in no way initiates against these
missionaries, as both the Japan and India
missions of the American board are practi-
cally unanimous in their favor.

Saved From Suicide by His Son.
HYDE PARK, Mass, Sept. CIV. S. Law
renee, wood polisher in piano factory in
Boston, left his house at Readville yesterday
with rope. His wife saw him, but did not
suspect anything. Not returning she became
alarmed and sent her son, sixteen years old,
to look for his father. The boy found his
parent hanging to tree unconscious. He
elm he'd the tree and emf his father down
the two falling to the ground together. A
physician was summoned and restoratives
applied and this morning Lawrence was as
well as could be expected.

@-The funeral of ex-President Arthur took
place from his late residence, Lexington avenue,
New York city, on Monday morning. 1t was the
desire of his family that it should be private, all
tenders of military and civic honors having been
respectfully declined. Besides the members of
the family there were at the house President
Cleveland and members of his Cabinet, commit
tees Of the Senate and House of Representatives,
members of the Cabinet of the ex-President, who
acted as pail bearers and a number of intimate
friends and prominent citizens. At $50 the pro-
cession moved from the house to the Church of
the Heavenly Rest, where detachments of U. s.
marines and artillery were drawn up in line. The
easket was removed to the chancel and after the
beautiful services of the Episcopal Church had
been performed in most solemn and impressive
manner, it was replaced in the hearse and the
procession moved to the Grand Central Depot,
where special train was in waiting. At Alba
ny, where the interment was made, an immense
concourse of people met the funeral. Bishop
Doane conducted the services at the grave, which
was by the side of the remains of his late wife, to
whom in life he was SO devotedly attached. The
funeral ceremonies were very simple and impress
sive throughout and much feeling was manifested
by the family and friends.

ing for family weekly newspaper of the first
class-such, for instance, as The Independent, of

cation for habitual and careful reading to the ex-
cusion of all others, we should choose unhesita-
tingly The Independent. 1t is religious, lit
erary, an educational, story an art, scientific,
an agricultural, financial, and polical paper
combined. 1t has 80 folio pages and 81 depart
ments. No matter what persons religion, poll
tics or profession may be, no matter what the age,
sex, employment or condition may be- The hide
pendent will prove help, an instructor, an edu-
Gator. Our readers can do no less than to send
postal for free specimen copy, or for thirty
cents the paper will be sent month, enabling
one to judge of its merits more critically. Its
yearly subscription is $500, or two years for
$500. Address, The Independent, 251 Broadway,

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.

Hon. Barnes Compton delivered lecture in
Brightwood NJ. E. Church, Washington, on
Thanksgiving evening.
The story is again being circulated in Wash
ington that Secretary Lamar will be married very
soon to wealthy widow.
The President has appointed Col. John Moore,
of the Medical Department, Surgeon General of
the Army to succeed Surgeon General Murray,
retired.
There were erected in Washington during the
past year 2,012 dwelings-779 more than in the
previous year-and the excess in value was ST.
276,O35.
The President has extended an invitation to
his sister, Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland to spend
the Christmas holidays with him at his country
place, near Washington.
Alta lunch given by Mrs. Secretary Whitney on
Tuesday afternoon to a number of ladies, includ-
ing Mrs. Cleveland, seven courses were served,
with four different kinds of wine.
The President has nearly completed his mes
sage to Congress, and his Cabinet has been en-
gagged in considering it. 1t is understood that it
will be much shorter than the one submitted to
the last Congress.
Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, was in Washing
ton few days ago. He is as rank as ever in his
free trade ideas and proposes to fight right along
on that line. He is undismayed by his late de-
feat for Congress.
During the past fiscal year there were 1914
postmasters appointed. The estimated revenue
of the Posto6ice Department for 1888 is S50,612,-
506.46, while the total disbursements are estimated
at $55, 342, 150.l5.
Warrants were issued in Washington on Sat-
urday for the payment of S7OO,S5O to Maryland
pensioners alone for the quarter just ended. The
total amount paid out for the entire country for
the same quarter was S11,7S0,2 25.
The U. S. Treasury is flooded with money,
over 100000 more having been received thus
far this month than in the corresponding period
of last year. Last year the surplus in the treas
ury was 500. 100000, and this year it promises to
be decidedly larger.
1t is now said that Secretary Manning's
health is in too delicate state to stand the work
and responsibility of the Treasury portfolio, and
that he will be obliged to retire very shortly 1t is
certain that he is nothing like the man he was
before he went into the Treasury.

TT The Lancaster (Pa.) Eraminer says it is
q most pleasant thing to read the eulogies on ex.
President Arthur. They are sincere for they are
confined to no party paper. All the journals in
the land are laying tributes of respect upon his
grave-simply because he did his duty without
fear or favor and conducted an administration so
honest and pure that all men honored him. In
all respects he was the model gentleman-and to
be this includes all the virtues.

@-The contest over the will of Gustavus
Nicholson, the Baltimore banker who died March
10th, 1885, has been compromised, but the basis
upon which the settlement was reached has not
been made public. Mr.. Nicholson was bachelor
and left his estate, valued at $16O, 900, to his
brother Mr.. Isaac L. Nicholson, head of the bank
ing house of Nicholson Co., except a few small
requests. The children of another brother of the
deceased made an effort to break the will, and
when the case was tried last April the jury failed
to agree. A deed conveying all the interest of
the contestants to Isaac L. Nicholson has now
been placed on record, and the case has been en-
