An Unhappy Coincidence.

Dr. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven, after his active pastorate had ceased. was accustomed to sit in the pulpit, and, if a stranger preached, to introduce him to the congregation. One Sunday he said: ''The first pastor of this church was the Rev. John Davenport" and he proceeded to pronounce brief eulogy upon him. ''The grandson of that pastor was the Rev. John Davenport, of Stamford. The son of that pastor was the Rev. James Davenport of Southold, L. I. We are today to be addressed by ineal de- scendant of John Davenport, our first pastor" The minister thus introduced was observed to be blushing violently, and the occasion of his embarrassment became evident when he announced his text: Visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

 PARIS, March 22-1n the chamber of depu- ties yesterday Deputy Laur interpolated the government regarding the copper crisis He demanded that the provisions of the penal code be put in operation against the monopo- lies which had brought about the disaster. He accused the firm of Rothschilds of caus- ing a crisis leading to an international plot against the French market
 M Rouvler, minister of finance, said that the Compton d'Escompte if unassisted would have been obliged to suspend. It deserved the solicitude of the government.
 If any loss occurred in connection with the first loan made the company by the Bank of France the loss would be borne by cap talists and not by the bank. The second advance was made by the Bank of France and fifty capitalists. The doors of the Compton IFS compte would therefore not be closed.
 Deputy Laur finally withdrew his motion, and the chamber by vote of 339 to 312 adopted the order of the day.
 M. Rouvier promised that the government would take the necessary steps to ascertain the syndicates responsibilities and make the law respected.
 When the bourse closed Compton d'Es- compte was quoted at 137 francs 50 cents. Societe des Metaux and Rio Tinto unchanged.

 MANASQuAS, <. J., March 22.-At a few minutes before noon yc.t'T.lay the residents of this pi, tty lite vi,.age and the places lying adjacent were s'uistn:iy startled by a terrific explosion. Vi:.., the surprise and excitement cccasjcned i.y ,Ee report had in a measur. suh,ieicd all vcsti.af'ca revea led the fact that large ausn,iti of dynamite contained il lie m'xin., Il Use of the United States Dynamite work, at TC.:ls River N J., had eXplodsu from so.ne unknown cause. These works consist of Ii nun,i,rr O: i.liltlings situat near the sh'!re, and have long been 9 cause of apprehension to the residents of the locality.
 Two men, Charles Nico as and Thomas Haggerty, Were engaGei i'll the wrecked building when the explosion occurred. Nich- olns was killed instantly, his body being liter ally blown to atoms, while Haggcrty, his fellow workman, was taken from the ruins of the building while still alive, but in an apparently dying cond. .tion, his body being mutilated in fearful manner
 Wiling hands inlined.a ey placed his in- animate form on an improvised stretcher, and removed him to Q Eeighboring house. He was at once attended by tho nearest phy- sician, who, after a brief examination, pro nounced his recovery almo.t impossible in view of the severity of the inj ur.es he had sustained. Nicholas had long resided in Man chester, N. J., where he was well known and widely respected. He leaves a wife and three children, respectively s, 10 and 14 years of age. Hagger,y was unmarried.
 As Haggerty has remained in an uncon- scious condition ever since he was taken from the ruins, it has been impossible to earn from his lips any thing which could throw any light on the cause of the terrible tragedy, md it may never be revealed.
 Both of the men bore an excellent reputa- tion among their fellow workmen as careful men, not given to running unnecessary risks while engaged in their hazardous occupation A coroners inquest will be held as soon as possible.
 The residents are greatly excited over the terrible affair, and are beginning to fear for the future, owing to the proximity of these dangerous dynamite works. It is probable that some action will be taken by the local authorities to lessen the danger, if possible.
 The buildings in this and ne,ghboring villages were shaken by the explosion, the shock being distinctly felt for some miles

THF democrats claim the honor OF adj
hitting the new states, and, with the
usual amount of unadulterated gall that
the average democratic leader possesses,
they declare that republicans are liars
when they assert the contrary, Yet
Charlie Voorhees, said, last fall, that his
defeat was due to the democratic opposi-
ton to the admission of Washington,
and the committees who went to the ma
tional capital from Dakota to lobby for
admission were repeatedly told by prom
inent democrats, that as long as Dakota
was so strongly republican they need not
expect admission while the democrats
were in power. There is no credit due
them for admitting these territories after
the power to prevent their admission
had left their hands.
