Presidential Possibilities.

Republican presidential possibili-
ties are too numerous to be satisfy
ing, but they are clearly encouraging
to Mr.. Blaine's friends, who are al
ready actively endeavoring to create
a feeling that he should be nominated
at any cost, the convention adjourn
and thus force him to be the candi-
date. In commenting on this sub
iect the Boston AdcertiSer says,
'sThis plan seems chimerical, but
many of the politicians are urging 1t.
Already it is evident how difficult it
will be to unite upon any of the prom
inent candidates, unless it be Mr.. De-
pew or Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Sherman's
strength is large, and so far all the
Ohio delegates chosen are ostensibly
for him, but everywhere we fird re-
Elected the suspicion that his follow
ing can not be relied upon. Every
delegate from Indiana is pledged for
Harrison and therefore opposed to
Gresham, while in Illinois the Chica-
90 Tribune declares that the feeling
is all for Gresham, and upon its adj
vice Senator Cullom of that state has
withdrawn. Mr.. Allison's support
does not seem to crystalline, while
the movement in favor of Gen. Alger
of Michigan seems TO lack the chief
elements of success. However unde-
servsdly, the downfall of the Ameri-
can exchange, of which he was pres
ident, has injured Gen. Hawley's
prospects, while the logic of events
points more and more clearly, in case
Mr.. Blaine's declination is accepted
as genuine to the choice of Mr.. De-
pew. In that event for the first time
the candidates of the two great par
ties will be from the same state, and
that state New York. - Windsor

Mr.. George KEENAN, will tell in the May
Century how he came to go to Siberia on
the Century expedition. Mr.. KEENAN, had
spent some time in Siberia already in
with the overland telegraph
scheme, and in the summer Of 1884 he
made preliminary excursion to st. Pet
ersburg and Moscow for the purpose of
collecting material, and ascertainine
whether or not obstacles were likely to
be thrown in his way by the Russian Gov
eminent He returned in October, fully
satisfied that his scheme was a practical
one He therefore sailed from New York
for Liverpool in May, 1885. He says
"All my prepossessions were favorable
to the Russian Government and unfavor-
able to the Russian Revolutionists." He
adds that this partly explains the friend
ly attitude toward me which was taken
Dy the Russian Government, the permits
sion which was given me to inspect pris-
ons and mines, aud the comparative i'm
munity from arrest, detention, and
imprisonment which | enjoyed. even when
nv movements and associations were
such as justly to render inc an object of
suspicion to the local Siberian authori-
ties"

A Specimen Veto.

The President is again devoting
some of his leisure to the writing of
vetoes of private pension bills, and
the administration organs are full of
praise for his industry in this par
ticular. One of the bills upon which
he has exercised his talents proposed
to give a small pension to the widow
of DIR. H. II. Langdon of Burlington,
VT. The circumstances of this case,
as narrated by the Free Press of that
city, are interesting. DR.. Langdon
was an excellent physician with a
large practice. He surrendered all
his prospects at home to serve as
assistant surgeon of the Seventh
Vermont Regiment. He was with
that regiment in six months of hard
service in the Louisiana swamps
which carried three hundred men of
the regiment to their graves, and so
enfeebled the remainder that it was
hard to find enough well men to bury
the dead. This terrible experience
broke down his health, and he re-
signed and came home a confirmed
invalid, with chronic inflammation OF
the liver and diarrhoea. He was
able after a time to resume in part
the practice of his profession, and
so long as he could do so, he did not
apply for pension. But self-sup-
port becoming difficult by reason OF
the progress Of his malady, he ap-
piled for pension in 1880, and one
was granted him in January, 1881
In September of the same year he
died, and his widows claim for Q

anything in the gift of the church.
If the conference should take a no.
ton of that kind it could send the
Chaplain into Bishops chair with
scarcely any opposition, and this con-
tingency may arise. Many think Dr.
Buckley would be made a Bishop
were it not for his superb adaptation
to editorial duties.

Governor Ormsbee's Arbor Day
Proclamation

In continuation of custom of some Of
my predecessors, and as | believe, in ac-
cordapce with the wish of the people OF
this State. as we'll as for the pubic god,
/ do hereby designate Friday, May 4Lh,
Arbor Day. And advise that it he OBJ
served as day for planting trees, shrubs
and flow ers, To the end that the waste
and barren places be made more valuable
and fruitful, and our homes more attrac-
tive.
MAY our public and private grounds
and commons be beautifed, and the
thoughts and attention of the rising gem
Grafton turned, for the day at least, in the
direction suggested by the natural OBJ
servance of the occasion.
| recommend that the youth in the
schools aud colleges be invited and en-
couraged by their teachers to observe the
occasion, as far as may be, by collective
action, and that village neighbOrhoods
and communities in like manner observe
the day.
And | do hereby call the attention of
the Town dulnOllJleS InGOuSnOuL Luio
State to- the fact that in too many instan-
ces the old cemeteries and burial grounds
are greatly neglected, in fact, seemingly
forgotten by the living, and | suggest
that wherever this condition of things
exists, such a course be taken as to make
it thing of the past. Surely, there is
hardly a higher duty than that of the liv
ing to the dead, and the full and cheerful
performance of that duty is everywhere
received as evidence of correct living;
and it is certain that the occasion is a
fitting one to be observed by performance
of this duty.
Given under my hand and seal of the
State, in the Executive Chamber ut Bran
don, this seventeenth day of April, A. ID.

The third party prohibitionists are
busily engaged in preparations for
their national convention which meets
at Indianapolis on the 3Oth of May,
and there promises to be lively
struggle for the presidential nominal
ton. st. John appears to have drop
ped out of consideration, and Clinton
B. Fisk of New Jersey seems to be
the coming man, but he is not to have
a clear field, for Kentucky has
ssfavorite son. The state conven
ton which met at Louisville, last
week, unanimously endorsed Green
CLAW Smith as its first choice, and he
showed his sympathy with the move
ment by proposing that all the dele
gates from the state meet at Louis
vile and proceed to Indianapolis In
special cars and with band of mu-
sic. Green Clay Smith has run for
president before, though probably
few people remember the fact. 1t
was in 1876, but he polled only ol0
votes in his own state, and 1922 IN
the whole country.

The eccentric but effective crusad-
ers. Sam Small and Sam Jones, have
been tilling with effect in Georgia
of late against the maintenance of
of the internal revenue laws. In
speech at Atlanta recently, Mr..
Small poured hot shot into the in
consistent democracy, saying, among
other things: every democratic
state convention for years past has
called for the repeal of the internal
revenue laws. The legislature of
Georgia has by resolution demanded
their repeal, yet ten members OF
congress from Georgia sit up there
at Washington and misrepresent the
people down here by voting to keep
the tax on. And Cleveland, fresh
from the Buffalo breweries, comes to
Washington and says the revenue
tax must be kept on Mr.. Small
finds and strikes weak joints in the
democratic harness with no small
force.

THE LATE DEACON MARSH.

Ills Sudden Death-For Forty Years Engaged at Mallory. Wheeler G Co.'s A Loss to West Haven-A Bse1uI Life.
 A COURIER representative visited the house of mourning and deep afaiction of the late Deacon E. E. Marsh at the corner of Center street and First avenue, West Haven, yester- day morning.
 Mir. E. E. Marsh and his son, MT. S. E. Marsh, as usual Saturday morning went to their place of employment at the Mallory, Wheeler & Co. foundry, where Deacon Marsh was foreman of the gray iron department and where his son is employed. Deacon Marsh had complained three or four days of not feeling quite as we'll as usual, but no serious results were apprehended by himself or his family.
 About twenty minutes past one o'clock on Saturday afternoon his son went into the office and found his father dead. He had just removed his coat and sat down in chair when stricken by death, and he had probably been dead but few moments when the son made the terrible discovery. Dr. Frank Fl. Whittemore was sent for, as it was not quite certain whether or not the superintendent was dead. The doctor pro- nounoed him dead and announced the cause of his demise to have been neuralgia of the heart.
 To the son and a nephew, Mir Charles s. Marsh of Fair Haven, who was employed at Mallory, Wheeler 6 Co.'s, was allotted the task of conveying the sad tidings to the mother and wife.
 The sudden termination of Deacon Marshs life was pronounced by physicians to be an- gina peetoris (neuralgia of the heart), heart affection which was brought upon deceased, his widow informed the reporter, by his ex- ertions in aiding to subdue the conhagration of the Congregational church in West Haven about eight years ago. At times the com plaint mad been very troublesome. Four years ago deceased had an attack in one arm which seemed to be paralysis. He lost entirely the use of the arm for while, but eventually entirely recovered its use.
 Deacon Marsh was in the employ of the Mallory & Wheeler company forty years and had been superintendent or foreman thirty five years. For a nnmber of years Deacon Marsh was superintendent of the Sunday school of the Congregational church over which Rev. Mir. Squires presides. He was loved and highly esteemed by the Sunday school scholars and members of the church and the inhabitants of West Haven.
 MT. Marsh's age was ffty-eight years, eleven months and twenty days. He leaves widow and four children, Mrs. Hiram D. Thompson, Mrs. Charles E. Graham, Mr. Two brothers survive him, residents of Eliza beth N.J., Mr. J. Edwards Marsh and Jonas E. Marsh; also 8 nephew in Fair Haven, Charles s. Marsh, and one in Elizabeth, N.J., connected with the law firm of Gilhooly & Marsh.
 The funeral services will be at the Conere. gational church., the time not yet decided.

Imposing Funeral Services over the
 Remains of John McDonOugh.
 The funeral of Councilman-elect John Me- Donough of the Seventh ward was held yes terdsy and was one of the largest attended ever held in this city. Elm City council K of O., and the other local organizations of which the deceased was member marched to the house, corner of Wallace and Hum phrey streets, headed by the American band. The remains were then escorted to St. Pat rick's church. The church edi6ee was crowded and it is estimated that seven thou sand people were in and around the church. Rev. Father Russell conducted the funeral services. As the remains were brought out of the church the band played dirge. Fol lowing the hearse to St. Bernard's cemetery, where the interment took place were about forty hacks and many private carriages, be- sides the local lodges and the band The coffin was literally buried in floral displays, SO many were there that had been contrib uted. The deceased was one of those who were largely instrumental in building up the Knights of Columbus. For years he had been member of St. Patrick's church. Mrs. Rose McDonough, his mother, who resides at 121 Asylum street. is one of the oldest Irish residents in the city. The following acted as bearers yesterday: Henry F. Conlan, John Shaughnessey and James Brennan in behalf of the Knights of Columbus; John J, Carr, John P. Carney, Terrence B. Kelly and John McCrann
