 John Kelly and Edward Keenan were before the police court this morning charged with breach of peace Saturday evening at the Italian castle on Railroad hill. From the testimony it appears that some one stoned the Italian house with the effect of causing the Italians to get their guns. A lively fusilage of lead was kept up for time until the Italians were driven in the house with stones. Mrs Charles Daley who owns the property tes- tifed that stone was thrown through the window and chair demolished. Kelly and Keenan said they were at the Circus Royal at the time and the court gave them the benefit of the doubt and found them not guilty.
 John Cunningham charged with entering his sisters room on the,second story of her house by means of a ladder, breaking open her bureau and stealing $50. He pleaded guilty and was bound over. Mike Moran, who was with Cunningham when he stole the money paid $35 for nolle.
 James Kelly an Ansonla man got into a fight last night with an Englishman who he said was running down the American flag. James was a member of the 14th, c. V., and would not stand it. Theodore Divers window was broken in the scrim- age. The court taking into consideration Kelly's patriotism allowed him to go, after paying for the window.

SCHOOL MATTERS.

Relief For the Sperry Street School
 Land at the Brooklyn School to Be
 Sold.
 There was very poor attendance at the school meeting called last night, for the purpose of buying land on which to build an addition to the Sperry street school and of selling a worthless triangular strip of land from the Meadow Lane property F. B. Rice, one of the district committee, said that land south of the Sperry street school could be purchased, which would answer the purpose to Q letter. It is "A feet front, and as deep as the school prop erty. It could be purchased for $3, 361.
 Prof M. s. Crosby explained the urgent two rooms which require three teachers There is also great pressure from that school for promotion to the High school building, but there is no room at the latter building, which averages sixty pupils to 8 room. As consequence the scholars have to remain at Sperry street, necessitating three or four grades to room, and mak- ing it extremely troublesome for the teach CTS. The district line for this district have been purposely cut down, but the popula- tion increases very fast It was voted to purchase the land
 An animated debate as to the advisabil- ity of selling the strip of land from the Meadow Lane property followed. The strip is at the upper end of the lot, is about 100 feet long and 45 feet wide at the south end, from which it tapers to point. It is entirely useless as a play ground and the district would be obliged to lay considerable money out on it. It would be of no use to anyone except the property owners adjoining. It was voted to dispose of the land for the amount of the sewer assessment

At regular meeting of Star OF the West
Lodge, No. 1873, A. F. and A. NJ, ,held.on the
evening of November 18th, 1888, among other
proceedings the following were bad:
Your committee, to whom was assigned
the duty of reporting resolutions expressing
the sense of this Lodge upon the death of
our late Brother Charles Kindel, beg leave
to report the following:
Bro. Charles kindel was a Master Mason,
initiated in this Lodge over quarter Of a
century ago, and during that time was an
active working member, fully realizing and
appreciating the principles of Masonry
much more so in practice than in profess
ion; faithful, honest, and true TO every trust
reposed in him; just to all alike, without re-
gard to station or position in life.
Our worthy Brother departed this life
November 2nd, 1888. after protracted ILL
ness, during which time he exhibited true
Christian fortitude which only those having
faith in a future beyond the grave conid
practice. Called from earthly labor to eter-
nal rest. from life's troubles and cares to
the peace of the tomb, may that rest be a.
sweet and peaceful as his death was calm
and lovely.
His remains were deposited In the Mason

to the CONSERVATION of many widows and

nouncement, the wedding came off at 8
O'Clock P. NJ. Elder Brown performed the
rite in the way such things ought to be done;
G. A. Maston and Miss Bergman acting as
walters. To say that the bride and groom
looked their very best, must suffice for the
present. They were the recipients of many
handsome and useful presents from their
admiring friends. AS befitting finale to
the affair, the invited guests partook of the
splendid supper furnished by Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Williams
On the same night there was an oldfas
ioned corn -husklng and quilting held at the
house of Mr.. Boyd. From the report we
have, there were over hundred bushels of
corn husked, and general good time had by
all.
This event was followed on the 18th inst.
by the quiet wedding of Mr.. Hillard Smith,
Of Mineral Point, and Mrs. Mamie Merrill,
of Ironton, at the residence of the bride, Rev.
McAllister performing the ceremony. Mrs.

OBITUARY.
We are sorry to have to chronicle the death
of an old and esteemed friend and relative,
grandfather Miner. Mr.. Milton Miner died
November 10th, 1888, of dropsy and a COM
bination of other diseases, his health having
been impaired several years ago. He was
an old citizen of Reynolds county, having
lived on the farm where he died for thirty
five years, and reared large family, several
of whom are married and have large fami-
lies. Five Of them haye crossed the Jordan
of death and gone on before, and no doubt
they were waiting and watching for their
dear old father, as all of them, it is believed,
died in the triumph of Savior's love. Mr..
Miner was member of the Missionary Bap-
tist Church at Black, known as Black River
Church, and has been devoted member and
Christian for about twenty five years-near-
ly eyer since there was a church at that
place. He was born in North Carolina, and
came from Kentucky to this country when a
mere boy. He was 70 years old. He leaves
a wife and eightHhlldren to mourn his de-
parture, and hot of friends, and they all
have the sympathy ofthe community in their
sad bereavement.
Why do we mourn, dear friends,
Or shake at deaths alarm?
'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call him to His arms.
The pains Of death are past;
His labors and sorrows cease;
And, life's long warfare closed at last.
His soul is found in peace.
With US his name shall live
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed with all our hearts can give,t
Our praises and our tears.
Who would not wish to die like those
Whom Gods own spirit deigns to blesss
To sink In that soft repose,
Then rise to perfect happinesss
