which exploded Wednesday night at the
forks of the road, in Lawrenceville, damag-
ing the conduit of the Citizens Traction

the cable rubbing across the exposed sur

THE KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

On last Wednesday night as I was
about to wind my way homeward my
footsteps were suddenly checked by a
kind welcome to be present at a sup
per that was just about to lie served at
the Exchange Hotel, by that esteem
ed body known as the Knights of
Honor. Not being accustomed to re-
fuse the command of friend | Weld
ed to bis invitation and soon found
myself entering the threshold of that
massive building, where many of my
friends and acquaintance had already
assembled, no doubt with the determi-
nation of having pleasant evening
Nor were their expectations shattered,
for just about the hour of ten the angel
Of deIiverance came with outstretched
arms aud administered unto the wants
of those who know what a good thing
is, and appreciate 1t equally as we'll
when once obtained;--f for, without cx-
aggerating there was served everything
that heart could wish OF soul desire,
Efter which were first honored with a
few remarks from DR.. johnson well
coming Mr.. Goodwin into their body
as brother Knight, to which Mr..
Goodwin responded in very few but
well chosen words.
Next arose Mr.. D. J. Searcy, who
spoke Of the beginning of this society
called the Knights of Honor; that its
sole purpose at first was speculative
one, but had since been converted into
a social and beneficial fraternity, and
the vast amount of good that had been
achieved by the means and through
the instrumentality of this body, and
urged especially upon the ladies the
great Importance of bringing their in
huence to bear upon their brothers
and husbands to join this noble organ
ization and attend the meetings
their only assessment was $500 per
month, or s24 90 per year, which is
comparatively nothing to what many
men spend for things that are value
less, and sever this mortal coil, leav-
ing their families in destitute eircum-
stances. He further clearly demon
strated the proposition that no person
could possibly live long enough (hav-
ing to be nineteen before he can be
admitted to expend the sum ofs20o0,
which is the amount their families
would receive at their death. Several
others made few remarks, but all to
the effect that this is a noble and good
institution, and that good results had
often been witnessed, and therefore
should he encouraged.
AS | was not present at the install
lation of officers | am not able to
give an account Of the proceedings,
but | believe that | may truthfully
say that all enjoyed a pleasant eve
ming, and many were for the first time
made sad when the time came for
them to seek their couch for a short
repose. GUEST.

They Deserve It.

No matter what the croakers may
say, the outgoing members of the City
Council deserve the paudits of their
respective constituencies. That they
have labored earnestly and we'll to
leeislate for the interests of Alexan-
dria, no one can deny; that they have
succeeded is certain, by the "marks
they leave behind.
And all this too, when they have
had to contend with reverSes of the
worst kind, with no word Of praise or
encouragement from any one-not
even those who knew the true inward
ness of the condition of Corporation
matters. The financial condition of
the Town has not been lowered-they
leave money in the Treasury, quite a
large SUN, for the new City Council to
work with. Since the term of the
present Council we have seen the
Compress build, the plank road to the
I. Il p. depot has been completed,
the City Hall has been repaired tho
roughly, and last though not least, a
fine Artesian Well is just now in read
mess in the City Square.
We ask in all fairness, is this not a
good record-has there been prece-
ding board which has done as we'll?
No. Then let them retire, and let the
praise and good will of the people &C
company them. Gentlemen, you have
done your duty we'll.

British bulldog 44-calibre pistol. The
ball entered the deceased's mouth and
it is thought broke his neck, from
which he died instantly. The two
were playing with the pistol, cooking
and unlocking it. So close was Bish-
op to Martin that when the pistol was
fred his face was burnt by the powder
from the pistol.
