The number of names added to the lists of
enrolled Republicans in the various districts
shows a healthy degree of political activity.
In every district considerable accession is re-
corded in some districts the number of addi-
tional names is large. Probably the interest
aroused by the Presidential campaign is the
cause of the good showing made yesterday.

Although snow had ceased falling yesterday
over most of the large region where travel
was seriously inter tered with on the previous
day, the railroad companies had almost unpre-
cedented difficulties in getting their trains
running, and in many cases they were unable
to accomplish so much. This was because OF
the high winds, which raised huge and I'M
passablc drifts. In this city the velocity Of
the wind was so great as TO derange the ane-
mometer for a time; still speed Of over
sixty miles an hour W. recorded AS soon as
the gale gives the railway officials a chance
TO make their work of clearing the tracks
effective travel will be resumed. Not the
quantity of snow, but the way the wind has
packed il together, has caused the trouble

The long-delaycd excise cases were at last
taken up yesterday in one of the branches OF
the General Sessions Court. The disposition
made of the two that were tried. however,
does not encourage the hope that violators OF
The excise laws are about to get their due.
There were acquittals in both cases from lack
of evidence that liquor was actually sold on
Sunday, and the Assistant District-Attorney IN
charge went 10 the length of crtlclSng me
police for being too yigilant in making arrests.
Why shouldn't the fact that saloon is open
on Sunday or after / a. m. on other days be
sufficient evidence of the proprietors intention
TO break the law if he gets chance? 1t ought
not to be necessary TO have witnesses swear
that they saw liquor sold and that they knew
what was sold by tasting it. The law as it
stands compels the procuring Of evidence by
spies. unless an accidental discovery that liquor
is sold is made

OHRIsTmAs TREE FESTIVAL.
Enjoyable Entertainmeu


 An enjoyable entertainment, consisting of a Christmas tree for the children and inter- esting exercises for all, was given last night in the lecture room of the Church of the Messiah. The children gathered in large numbers, while many "ehiidren of larger growth" also were present to enjoy them selves in witnessing the happiness of the lit- tie ones. The lecture room was tastily trim med with evergreens, and on the platform was a large Christmas tree laden with toys and ''goodies" in the shape of oranges, can dies and other toothsome articles. 0. E. Raymond, the superintendent of the Sunday school, conducted the exercises. Roger Sher- man, clerk of the society, called out the names of the children and handed them presents from the tree. No one in the room was forgotten by MT. Sherman, who kept the audience in the happiest condition by his sallies of wit and humor. MT. Sherman oorn- manded silence, and in impressive tones re- quested Rev. MT. Squires to appear before him. He then proceeded to recount all the good qualities which he and the society knew their worthy and faithful pastor possessed. And as a small token of the esteem and affection held for him they had delegated the speaker to present fine lamp and an elegant easy chair to himself and wife. Rev. MT. Squires in accepting the gifts, alluded to the pleasant relationship ex- isting between the society and himself and after thanking them heartily for the presents pledged himself to continue his ministration in their behalf and try to labor harder in the future in his work for God and humanity. Mrs. Squires, the estimable wife of the pas tor, made a few remarks, which added to the interest of the occasion. After Christmas hymn by the children the pleasant gathering was dismissed.

Death of Mrg. Mary A. BHnnelI-A Be-
 loved Mother In Israel Passes Away
 at she Good old Age of Ninety.
 Wearied with life's journey well nigh spanning a century, Mrs. Mary A. Bunnell yesterday sank into repose. Her work was finished and she slept. Peacefully as the tired child loses itself in dreamland, imper- ceptibIy as the fickering light fades out when the oil is exhausted, she passed from life to death. Her past was linked with a by-gone century; her future is the future of immor- tality. For nearly ninety years she had journeyed along life's highway, and exhaust ed nature cried for rest. Struggle there was none, for to her death was but the slumber from which she should awaken with renewed life. Her friends and children were about her as the sands of her life ran out, and lock- ing from them to those who had gone before, she passed from one group to the other. A fervent religious feeling and an ever-active conscience had prompted her every action throughout her life, and with nothing in her past to regret she painlessly, confidently, an- swered the summons from the unseen hand So her pure life ended; 80 her sorrowing friends are bereft of the inspiration which none knew her but to feel.
 Mrs. Bunnell was born in Orange, Conn.,, June 9, 1799, and was one of six sisters, three of whom survive her. She had resided in this city for nearly seventy years, and for more than half century had been member of Trinity church. Her three children, Hen ry H. Bunnell (of Bunnel1 & Scranton), Charles s. Bunnell and Mrs. Alfred w.. Phelps, are all living.
 The funeral services will be held at the late residence of the deceased, No. 10 Washing ton street, at 3 o'clock next Saturday after noon
