WARM WORDS.

Upon the question of the adoption OF
the resolution Mr.. Mcdonald stated that
be had seen this resolution providing
for the sale) presented in the House of
Delegates while other business was under
consideration and hurriedly advanced to
its adoption. He was surprised to see
the same haste in the Senate. The State
had better lose its shares than be party
TO the fraud. II was the duty to find
how it was that stock the par value of
which was 500 was worth only 81. 80 orS3.
Ii those in management had robbed the
State there was place up yonder point
ing toward the penitentiary) where they
should be placed.
Here Mr.. Wickham interposed, asking
if the Senator referred 10 him.
Mr.. Mcdonald in response said he did
not charge the gentleman with fraud,
but that if he had been party to fraud
he was but man as others, and should
be punished IN q similar manner.
Mr.. Wickham, i'll very excited man.
ner, sprang to his feet and with bis eyes
flashing fire and shaking his fist, said
"If the gentleman dares to insinuate
that any concern in which / am engaged
is guilty of fraud will place him by
death whore the hand of God will not
reach him"
Every member present by this time
had dropped everything ami was paying
sole attention to the dispute.
To this declaration Of Mr.. Wickbam
Mr.. Mcdonald, while the President was.
rapping for order, responded: al am
not afraid have lived too long"
MIR. Heaton here called the Chairs

'ELL IlER INTEREST,".

Mr.. Koiner at once called up the JOINT
resolution authorizing tine sale OF the
State interest in the road. and it was
after some filibustering adopted.
At3 o'clock the Senate, without trans
acting further business, adjourned.

in the country were in the hands OF re-
ceiyers and the stock almost worthless.
II the property is sold by a decree of the
court the States interest should go
with the rest. If the Governor
and his colleagues consider that it
il not best to allow the committee TO sell
them in the best way possible the
State must take whatever the market will
give for them. He did not think that the
State could improve her condition except
by taking the risk of losing oil by wait
ing until the road is recognized through
fear that then the stocks might boom.
Mr.. Williams then withdrew his reso-
Iution to commit 10 the Committee on
General Laws, on the ground that he
presented it because the character OF one
of the members had been impugned. As
the Senator from Northumb erland NC
Donald) had disclaimed any such inten-
ton he thought it advisable to withdraw
it
Mr. Mcdonald replied that he thought
the subject worthy of investigation, and
refused to be catechised by any one.
Mr. Lovenstein renewed his motion
10 Law upon the table, and Mr. Heaton
withdrew his to refer the matter to the
Committee on Finance. The vote to lay
on the table resulted as follows:

LIZZIE 5. MARSH The tidings of the
death of Lizzie 5. Marsh causes gre:
sorrow not only to her family. but to
our whole village. She was favoritt
among our young people. When she left
US that evening for the West ia thai
pleasant party of friends we hoped she
might return restored in health and live
long and happy life. But our hopes
are sadly disappointed. In the home
where she died kind and loving friends
ministered to her as devotedly as moth
er and sister. Many were the tears shed
at her funeral, which was held at her
old home in Bethel. so dear to her, where
she had filled "a mothers place. Her flu
neral was attended by Rev. 5. A. Parker.
who had known her since she Was a
child and who felt personal loss in her
death. Ever faithful te duty, helpful
and active in her home, her words full of
sparkle and wit. genial and loving in
spirit, her death is lamented by us all.
Her memory will be tenderly cherished.
Her life and character will be an inspi-
ration and comfort to those who knew
her. She had seen only 80 years. Thus
early she has left US. She died in the
home of Mrs. G.. W. Woodbury. at St.
Paul, Mimi, Nov. 30, 1855. She was
buried beside her mother in the GENE
terry at Bethel. Dec. 9Th. She leaves a

RODNEY 5. SHEDD Mr.. Shedd wa,
one of the old residents Of Bethel. hav.
ing been born here seventy years ago
He and his wife have lived together
forty-eight years, the last twenty-eight
their home has been in the house on the
Corner" where so many neighbors and
friends have been accustomed TO drop in
for a social hour. For the last few weeks
a shadow has been deepening over that
home aud Friday, Dee. 5th, the husband
and father gently passed away. His life
has been active, useful and industrious.
While he has labored for his family he
has helped the world. Only three of the
large family in which he was born sur
vive him. Thinking of his brothers far
away he said TO his wife, ut seems as
though | could not die without seeing
those boys again" Strong were the ties
that bound him TO his friends. Since the
death of his son, his only child, he has
walked In great shadow. His last days
were full Of gratitude, quiet and peace.
His wife has much TO comfort her in her
sorrow. The funeral service was at
tended by Rev. ). A. Parker at his late
home where a large number of relatives
and friends came and looked on his IA
miliar face for the last time. ). A. p.

no goods to sell at 40 per cent

pulling up pretty close to the
front and Murphy thought to
do his share in getting in an extra run
or two by stealing a few more bases
than usual. He therefore appeared on
the field one afternoon with a long pair
of white cotton gloves which reached to
his shoulders. These he carried over to
the vicinity of first base and quietly laid
them down to sun. The bleaching
boards caught on to what they were and
began guying him at once. Pretty soon
Murphy made base hit and donned the
gloves. The pitcher, observing that the
gauntlet had been thrown down to him,
gave the catcher a wink, pitched an
easy one wide, and Murphy was easily
caught. This tickled the crowd i'm
mensely. Murphy laid the whole trOu
BILE to the gloves and threw them away
in disgust. Though not the heaviest
batter in the st. Paul team, Manager
Barnes rarely gave him other than first
place in the batting list, as he was rea-
sonabiy sure to paste the ball over back
of second base, and, once on base, he
is hard to keep there. His fielding has
always been a marvel of accuracy, and
his errors have generally resulted from
taking desperate chances. In game
last summer on the st. Paul grounds
sky scraper was driven to Murphy'S
garden. The crowd was paralyzed to
see the fleet-fOOted fielder plunge off
through space in an opposite direction,
but, after running twenty feet, he
whirled about and got under the ball in
time to retire the side at time when it
had chance to tie the score. Muir

HEARD AT MINNEAPOLIS.
Donaldson Glad Mitchell Staid-
CarGiff's Views.

John Donaldson smiled when he read
the dispatches announcing that Sullivan
had not won in the fight with Mitchell.
"That suits me to t." he exclaimed.
81 do not mean that l would be glad to
see an Englishman whip Sullivan, hut
l would like to see him whipped by
some one. He has been travelling
around long enough now, and it's time
he was put away"
Patsy Cardiff did not take much stock
in the report of the fight. ga rep ort of
this kind" said he, lis subject to a
good deal of suspicion, as it is hard to
tell who got at the Associated Press re-
porter first. 1t seems to me that the
whole thing is possible, but highly i'm
probable. In fight where London
prize ring rules govern, big man has
no advantage over a small man, and for
that reason Mitchell may have stood up
the thlrty-nine rounds"
