Anther Enterprise.

Another enterprise joins the large
number in this city, it being the new
funnel manufactory of Mr.. Augustus
Gersdorf, late prominent business
man of Washington, d. G. The new
factory, a very pretty one from an
architectural point of view, 2Sx42, will
be built Immediately by Mr.. A. T.
Randolph, on lot on Elm street, pur-
chased of Mr.. Samuel Butler The
machines, boiler, and engine, steam
fitting etc., will be put in by the
Ferracute Machine Company, at u
cost of from $4,000 to $4,000. The new
works will be under the management
of capable man and will employ about
seven laen, all of whom will be hired
in this city.
The funnel which has heretofore de-
scribed, is a splendid invention. The
funnel is pressed from one piece OF
tin, having no seams in which dirt can
accumulate. AT the top it is so
shaped that it cannot run over and the
spout is triangular shaped, so that the
mouth of bottle will not be filled up,
but allow places for the venting of air
Six sizes of these tunnels will be made,
ranging from Nos. 4 to 8. The new
funnel can be made much cheaper by
machinery than the old ones, and they
will be much more desirable. Beside
the other advantages there will be a

1t is generally thought in legal cir
cles that when the Supreme Court
reads its opinion it will set aside the
verdict of guilty in the case of Barclay
Peak, now under sentence of death for
numbering his cousin, Katie Anderson.
The opinion will be rendered next
week. Prosecutor Hendrickson states
that he has long since made up his
mind that there was trouble on The
Supreme Bench about Peaks case
He expects that Chief Justice Beasley
will rule some nice questions of evi
dence in favor of his life. The Supreme
Court judges, he thinks, will take the
ground, in reference to the dying de-
clarations, that what Katie Anderson
said did not constitute the dying
statement insomuch that she expressed
the hope that she would get WELL

A defect in the State Constitution, it
is claimed, has been discovered, and is
creating much talk in legal and politi-
cal circle. The Constitution provides
that Judges of the Courts of Common
Pleas shall be appointed by the Senate
and General Assembly in joint meet
ing" In 1875 the Constitution was
amended by adding: "And Judges
of the Inferior Courts of Common Pleas
shall be nominated by the Governor
and appointed by him with advice
of the Senate" The section creating
Common Pleas Judges was allowed to
remain in the Constitution, and now
it is held that the Judges appointed
since 1875 have not power to act as
such. Since the amendment to the
Constitution in the year named no
Common Pleas Judges have been APP
pointed by the Legislature, but the
Governor has been making all the ap-
pointments. 1t is held that all the
business transacted by the inferior
Courts of Common Pleas has been

over charges made against the
local Baptist preacher, Rev. William
Key Lord. The scandal has been
brewing since early last Summer, and
within few days the preacher will be
called upon to answer the accusation
OF his illegal victim before a court OF
justice and before tribunal composed
of forty five preachers and deacons of
his own denomination.
His aceuser is Miss Carrie Pharo. a
member of his congregation, and, until
last Fall, an intimate friend of lis
family Rumor had coupled their
names together more intimately than
their relations as pastor and parish
oler justified, as far back as LIST July.
but there was nothing is the way of a
tangible charge made until about two
weeks ago, when Miss Pharo was taken
suddenly and violently i'll. DR.. Price,
- ANt0>Ci wi, VIM 10 hlSO one OF tue
deaeons of the West Creek Baptist
Church, was called in, and after an
examination declared that the girl was
in delicate condition. She then for
naliy accused her pastor of having
assaulted her in his own house some
day last July. This charge was com
muaicated to the other deacons by
DIR. Price. The other deacons are
Charles Cox, Sr., and B. Phoro, both
of this village. They called on Miss
Pharo, when she reiterated her charge
and described the alleged assault in
detail
After the talk with the girl the
deacons notified Mr. Lord to suspend
his duties as pastor of the Baptist
Church, until the charges had been
investigated by the council of the asso-
citation to which the church belongs.
This council was summoned imme-
dlately, and will convene there on next
Thursday. The local church belongs
to what is known as the Middle or
Camden Association, and the council
that will sit in judgment on the case
will be composed of the ministers from
fifteen churches of the association, and
two deacons from each church.

The West Jersey Railroad Company
and Cassidy Brothers, the lime dealers,
are having some differences which are
likely to grow into an interesting lita-
CATION. The trouble as we under.
stand it from one interested, is as fol
lows: The West Jersey Railroad COM
pany ran their tracks from the trestle
at Pine street across the river at Grove
street, to reach the lower factory of
Getsinger & Sons glass works. To do
this, they crossed on riparian rights,
which are claimed by Cassidy Brothers.
Through Grey & Grey, lawyers of
Camden, the Cassidy brothers received
the riparian rights attached to this
particular property, and immediately
upon receiving the same, issued no.
tice to the company to discontinue the
running of trains oyer the property.
The price paid for the riparian rights
held by Cassidy, it is said, cost them
$S10. The company occupy just one
eight of this right and offered to settle
the matter for $500, but the price de-
manded was $4,000. Getsinger & Son
gave the Cassidy Brothers to under
stand, that they would brin suit for
damages for every day trains We're kept
out Of their yards, and the notice was
withdrawn, and trains are now run
ming as usual. 1t is quite likely that
a suit will soon be commenced to set
tie the matter.

WRECKED BY CYCLONE.
Mount Vernon, ILL.,, Nearly
Destroyed by Tempest
and Flame.

Mt. Vernon, Ill, a town of about
5000 people, on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, seventy-fve miles
east OF st. Louis, was struck by a cy
clone at five O'Clock yesterday after
noon, and score of houses were blown
down. Fire broke out in the ruins,
and for time the whole town seemed
doomed. The list of known casualties
at present is as follows:
KILLED-Mrs. Russell Dewey, John
L. Waters and baby, Henry Waters,
David f. Yearwood and wife, John E.
Murray, locomotive engineer named
Cummings, Mary Westbroth, James
Pearson, Mrs. Holcomb, Dr. John

and Commercial Hotel. Every house
north of Evans Mill for 500 yards was
blown down, The storm came from
| the southwest, the direction from
which nearly all Mississippi Valley cy-
clones come, and was over in a few
seconds. Mount Vernon is one of the
most enterprising towns of Southern
Illinois. 1t is the seat of the State
Supreme Court for the southern por-
ton of the State, and the machine
shops of the Louisville and Nashville
Road are located there.
Nearly every house on the Court
house Square, except on the north
side, was demolished. The list includes

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Two Tons Of Lumber Fall
upon Henry Griner

Thursday afternoon Contractor A.
f. Randolph hired David Bowen,
Frank Mead and Henry Griner to un-
depot at Pearl and Lemon streets.
The car was on the new track neais
est toward Orange street. Great
heavy timber it was, loaded on fiat
car, and piled high above the sides of
the car. Mr.. Bowen had climbed upon
the car and pullel the stakes from the
iron sockets, leaving the lumber un-
supported, but at this time it did not
fall. Mr.. Griner and Mr.. Mead were
on the ground beside the car, in the
act of raising skids to allow the lumber
to slide down to terra firma. While
SO doing, and without an instant
warning, part of the heavy load,
weighing at least two tons, slipped off
the car and catching Griner under il,
crushed him to the earth. The lum-
Der struck Mead but only injured
him slightly.
Willing hands immediately threw
the lumber from off the unfortunate
man, and he was tenderly raised,
placed into a wagon and taken to his
home on Atlantic street.
His wife who had parted with the
husband at noon in his full health and
usual good spirits, was grief stricken
when she saw him again crushed and
suffering, carried into the house and
laid upon the settee in the dining
room. Physicians were hastily sent
for, while friends did what they could
to relieve his suffering. 1t was ter
rible sight, the broken leg of the man,
with the bone protruding four or five
inches, an arm hanging 1T his right
side broken in two places, while his
head was bleeding from terrible cuts.
All the while he complained of ter
rible feeling in his chest and said his
back was broken.
To his wife he would tearfully say
II am going to leave you wifey, can't
live, oh God that pain.n Little wonder
was it that the scene brought tears to
the eyes of all in the room.
DR.. Glover, brother-in- law of DR.. 7. ]
Smith, was the first of the physicians
to arrive, and he was soon joined by
Drs. J. B. Bowen and Matt Elmer. A
consultation was had and the injuries
investigated and the poor man was
told that death would soon relieve his
sufferings Nothing was done with
the crushed limbs, the attention of the
medical gentlemen being given tc
easing the pain. Thus he lay until
about twenty minutes of five. three
hours after his injuries, when he died
His breast was terribly hurt and
internally he was literally crushed
and death coming as soon as it did
was a great relief,
Mr.. Griner was a man about fifty
years of age, and is well known nail
cutter, lately he has been in the West
He leaves a wife and one or two step
children. The sad accident cast a
feeling of gloom over the whole com
munity and the sorrowing widow
has the sympathy of all in her be-
reavment.
