Funeral of Sunset Cox,

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Long before
10 O'Clock this morning, the hour set
for the funeral of the late Samuel
Sullivan Cox, the First Presbyterian
church, corner of Fifth avenue and
18th street, began TO fill with the
mourners and admirers of the dead
statesman from humber walks. The
rain poured in torrents the whole
morning, a nasty wind prevailed but
did not keep the crowd away. Be-
fore the services began, the church
was filled and it was necessary to
close the doors, leaving many people
on the outside.

No Sign of Abatement.

PHILADELPHIA, September ia
special to the Public Ledger from Sea
Isle City, n. j., says the storm which
has demolished buildings, washed
away railroad beds, destroyed bridges
and brought down telegraph wires in
a way never before experienced here,
shows no signs of abatement. The
sea wall from which so much was ex-
pected on occasions like the present
has been washed away except small
portion in front of the Continental
hotel. The sand piles which extended
along the beach like a series of bull
warks, are levelled by the heavy
waves, and the board walk. raised
from its fastenings, was dashed
against the buildings along the shore,
broken up and carried to sea. Just
south of the Continental hotel, which
has been prOpped up, "a number OF hous-
es are carried away by the force of the
waves and half a dozen or more of the
finest private cottages swept away.
Several hotels and numerous other
buildings are badly damaged. The
railroad track which connects Sea
Isle City with Ocean City, is broker
and bent like horse shoe. The light
house at the north of the island is
tilted and has been abandoned by
the keeper and family, who were
taken out from the upper floors by
the life saving corps.

A Practical Joke.

Troy, N. ", September 13.-John
Gorden, in the employ of the George
Paper and Pulp company, at Ticonde-
roga, fell asleep last night near
the machinery. Two fellow work
men, it is said in joke,
planned to scare him. They
tied a rope about his feet, and
threw it over a shaft, making 125 rev.
slutons a minute. They could not
cut the rope in time and Gordon was
killed, the body being terribly mutt
lated. One of the perpetrators of the
joke lost his reason from the shock.

WHILE the advocates of female
suffrage are making progress in the
northwest this is what Kansas
paper says concerning so much suf-
frage as is enjoyed by women in that
state:
"A woman cannot vote for justice
of the peace. She has no voice what
ever in State affairs, but her rights,
so far as the elective franchise is con-
cerned, are confined to municipal mat
ters, as these bear directly upon the
interests of the home and family.
The women of Kansas have manifest
ed a disposition to exercise the privi-
lege vouchsafed them under the
present law, though it is quite dorSAs-
full whether any considerable pOr On
of them desire an enlargement of
their rights or responsibilities in
this direction. 1t has been demon
strated IN Kansas, as we'll as else
where, that women, generally speak
ing, have no natural inclination for
politics, and that they are quite
willing to allow the men to admins

country as long as they do so with
an eye single to the good of the
people"
Eye single to the good of the
people," is good. \ political eye
single is generally accepted to mean
an eye single to office.

this morning as sprightly as ever,
with the exception of two blank

Tribune met with a similar accident,

ONE of the crying injustices of this
age is the idea that state can do no
wrong. No matter how unjustly
person may be condemned or
how long they may suffer i'm
prisonment and deprivation of all
rights and no matter how fully
circumstances may afterward exhon-
crate them there is no redress. Prop
erty may be lost and home and
friends and all else by the laws in
justice and there is no redress. A
contemporary says truly:
"a woman has just been liberated
from the Kansas penitentiary after
thirteen years of incarcerati ton under
sentence for poisoning her hus band,
certain evidence having recently come
to light proving her innocent of the
crime. The state, however, makes
no compensation to the wronged wo-
man, and she is simply turned loose
without friend or a dollar, to take
care of herself the best she cam"
That the state can do no wrong is
to the full as monstrous a doctrine
as that the King can do no wrong.
