YOUNG girls have often enough been
cautioned against the great danger Of
replying to matrimonial advertise
ments. A young English girl came to
grief in this way in New York city.
She answered one of these notices; and,
on their meeting. after five minutes
interview, he proposed marriage. Ten
minutes after the wedding she deserted
him in the street because he told her he
already had wife and three children
living in Hoboken. The following day
de was arrested in Hoboken and gave
bonds for the support Of his FIRST wife.
Then he fled either to Boston, Mass, OF
to Akron, o. The scoundrel was teach
or of fencing of the Young Mems
Christian association Of Hoboken.

THE latest development in the
growth of American trusts, is the es-
tablishment of great railroad organi-
cation, to include al! the railroads in
the country. A central clearing house
is to be established in which rates will
be- fixed, and the combined earnings
aggregated and divided. The origina.
tors Of the movement are the great cap.
italists of the East, who have failed to
get their usual dividends on account OF
rate wars and state legislation. It is
announced that rates twill not be alb
normally high, y but the whole business
will be done on paying basis, which
means that enough will be gotten out
Of the traffic. to pay good large dividends
on the. few billions Of watered stock
represented In American railroads.
There seems to be 3 glorious future for
trusts IN this country.

"phe Celtic American Club"

The Celtic American club, which has
just started in st. Paul, promises to be
one of the finest social and literary, as
well as patriotic clubs ever organized In
the Northwest. Many of the very best
young men Of lrish-American blood
have already signi6ed their Intentions
OF joining Such q club. The temporary
officers are: Dr.. Men anlara, president;
James O'SullivaD, secretary; Hon.
John w, Willis, treasurer. The peg
manent organization will be perfected
ON the first Thursday in January. 1889.
On next Sunday afternoon at 2:30, an
interesting programme will be rendered

THE debate upon the scandalous i'm.
prisonment of Tom MoroneY, says the
Dublin Freeman, must force the execu~
tive to release him. The brave fellow
is close on two years in prison, and all
because he honorably refused to betray
the confidence and trust Of his neigh
bors. Talk about MoroneY having set
the law at detiance! The theft, the for
ger, the wife kicker, and tho respectable
Belfast merchant who thrives on the
profits OF his wholesale swindling, set
the law at defiance, but they suffer only
a third, fourth or a fifth of the term
of Imprisonment which Moroney has
already undergone. DR.. Kenny. in
seconding Mr.. Bradlaugh's motion for
the adjournment of the House. spoke
with considerable bitterness, but. one
who knows the lion-hearted campaign
er, and has heard Of his treatment by
hsi jailers, and the effects the prolonged
imprisonment are beginning to have
upon him, could speak on the subject,
but with intense and deep-rooted indig-
nation. That the government has not
been ignorant of Moroney's condition,
the report of the medical officer of the
prison, which Mr.. Healy read, puts
beyond doubt. Mr.. Balfour says the
matter has been under the considera-
ton of the Lord Justices for the past
six days. Even now may We hope that
common Justice and common humanity
will prevail with Moroney's iailers.

Death Of Hugh ]. Fox.

Shortly after The IRISH STANDARD
had gone to press last week an accident
occurred which resulted in the death of
Hugh j. Fox, member of the fire de-
partment, stationed at No. engine
house, South Minneapolis. Early Fri
day afternoon of last week, Mr.. Fox
had occasion to exercise one of the fire
teams, and it was while in the perform.
ance of this duty that the team ran
away, throwing him to the ground in
such way as to allow the heavy wheels
to pass over his back, breaking four of
his ribs and otherwise injuring him in
ternally, from which he died in few
hours.
MIR. Eek was born in Damolly, New
ny, county Down, Ireland, in 1862, and
had been a resident of Minneapolis for
the past eight years, In 1855 he be-
came member Of the Minneapolis fire
department and more popular young
man among his fellowmen perhaps did
not exist. He leaves q widowed moth
er, three brothers and three sisters to
mourn their loss. Steady and indus
trious in his habits, faithful always to
the care Of his home and all its inter-
ests, were cbaracter1sticsth that deserved
lily drew about him friendships that
could not easily be broken. His funer-
al, (which occurred Sunday afternoon,
December Is, was attended by large
concourse Of people. 1t was held un-
der the auspices Of the Minneapolis
fire department and A.. o. Ell. divisions
of this city. About thirty tiremen
from st. Paul were also present Sid
Wells and Plummer drum corps bands
led the different organizations in the
funeral procession and the remains were
inferred in the Immaculate Conception
cemetery. Among the many beautiful
floral tributes received at the home Of
deceased, following his death at ZIG
Twenty second avenue south, were the
following: A large caoss and fireman's
badge from St. Paul fire departments;
pillow and cross, large wreath, from
Minneap& lis fire department.; 6reman's
helmet from members of Hose Co., No.
Z; Cross and harp from the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians; anchor from E.
Holmes. From the house the remains
were taken to Holy Rosary church,
where many saw for the last time the
face of he whom they had loved and re-
spected in life. 1t was to the credit Of
the Ancient Order of Hiberninns: Of
whom he had been good and faithful
member, that they turned out SO we'll
in attendance at the last sad rites of
their deceased brother.

DEATH VISITS ANOTHER
HOME.

WHY do we mourn departing friends
Or shake at death g alarms?
IT'S but the voice that Jesus sends
To call loved-ones to His arms.
Mrs. Carrie Elliott, wife Of w. V.
Elliott, Esq, after a long and pro
tracted illness, quietly passed into
rest Wednesday night about 11:45
O'Clock, in the 42d year of her age.
Mrs. Elliott was a resident of Lima,
Ohio, and moved to Edenton about
months since. She was devoted
member of the Presbyterian Church
AS a wife she was kind and faithful;
as a mother she was gentle and
loving. and as a friend she was ever
faithful. Living, though but shmt
time in Edenton, she made many
friends; none knew her but TO love
her. Inner long and painful suffering
she bore it bravely, not murmur
was ever heard, and in this hour OF sad
bereavment, we extend our heart felt
sympathy to the bereaved family and
the heart broken friends.
The funeral service will take place
To dav at the Methodist Church at
10 o'clock. She will be buried in,
St. Paul's Cemetery, to await final
resurrection
When the last trumpet's awful voice
This rending earth shall shake
When opening graves shall yield their
charge,
And dust to life awake.

tracted illness. The next term Of this
School will begin December 9Th, 1887.
A special feature of the law incorpo-
rating our school is that every resident
patron is credited with the Public
funds apportioned to his children under
the school law OF the State.
Resident children who are dependent
upon the Public School funds for educa-
ton are received into the School at any
time without charge.
This school and system offers the best
educational advantages attainable IL

grades of advancement, among teachers
employed for each grade, better and
more efficient instruction is obtained at
less cost than can be had otherwise.

We acknowledge a very pleasant
call on yesterday from Mr.. A. Bristol,
of the fish firm Of S. L. Storer & Co..
New York. Heis clever gentleman
and we are always glad to take his
hand.
tits rumored that the A. S. n. Co.,
Capt. J. H. Bogart, Supt., will soon
place another steamer on the line
from Franklin to Edenton and Ply
mouth, giving it's patrons, with Str.
Chowan), a daily line.
Owing to a feeble indisposition,
Rev. F. M. Satterwhite did not preach
at the Baptist church Sunday. Rev.
DR.. Bogert filed his pulpit at night,
preaching a strong and forcible ser
mon to an appreciative congregation.
r. B. Hayes gives notice that he is
now soliciting consignments of fish,
truck, &c. for some of the best and
most reliable firms in Baltimore Phila-
delphia and New York. Consult him
before making consignments through
other parties.
Rev. J. T. Whitley, Of E. City,
preached at the Methodist Church,
Friday night last. plain. strong and
forcible sermon, taking for his text,
Choose ye this day whom ye will
serve.'' He drew the line SO plainly
that many could not resist and gave
themselves to Christ. Rev. Mr.. Camp
bell, P. E., preached Monday and
Rev. J. VIM. Lee on Wednesday
night. The meeting is a profitable
one.
Merchants, why not make it a
point to handle one kind of goods?
This would surely benefit the town.
We have now two wholesale and
retail Grocery stores, that is certainly
selling piles ofgoods. Give Edentor
a wholesale and retail Dry Goods
house, a Hardware, Notion and
Liquor house, then we would soon
number "a 1" and draw lots Of trade
