The Fair Of Post 155.

The fair of Post l55. Mt. Washington. Will
commence on the 18th inst. with the most fav-
orable prospects. The ladies of the Grand
Army of Circle No. 81 are hard at work and 1t
is questionable whether anyone entering
Slater's Rink during the continuance OF the
entertainment will get out as rich as he en-
tered, except for goods. The motto is to let no
man guilty of having dollar escape, and 1t
will be acted up TO, as the post needs the money
badly, having had such heavy mortality
within the last few years, which, If 1t continue
at the same rate, will render the organization
almost extinct in couple OF years more. The
relief and burial funds are consequently in need
of remuneration.

Death of Mrs HIP. Massey.

Mrs. Susan A. Massey, wife of Henry
P. Massey, residing near this town,
ended her life of suffering on Sunday
night last shortly after - o'clock, in
the 57th year of her age. Hers has
been a case that has excited much in
terest outside of the circle of relatives
and sympathizing friends Something
over a year ago, ,the-15th OfOctober-
she accidentally fell down flight of
stairs at her dwelling, in the fall re-
Ceiving injuries that completely paral-
yZed her body and made her helpless
invalid. After some months she re-
covered a partial movement of the
upper part of her body but not in a
very helpful sense. In the midst of
her other Affections incident to
broken neck and paralyzed body, in
the winter she had a severe attack of
pneumonia in which she suffered
greatly from difficulty in properly ex-
pectOrating. With all the chances
against her she actually pulled through
and recovered from this disease. But
another and more fatal malady,
Bright's disease, resulting from the
low state of nervous vitality cOnse-
quent upon her injuries, was what
finally ended her life.
Some weeks ago an article appeared
in one Of the Philadelphia papers
which was widely copied, statement
that Mrs NJ. had been living all these
months with broken neck. This of
course excited great interest with the
medical fraternity as we'll as the pub
lie generally, for it is rare in cases
where they survive such injuries at all.
| that it exceeds a few weeks. In an
autopsy made by DR.. Dwight on Mon
day he found his suppOsitiOns were not
only correct as to the fracture of the
neck but that one of the vertebrB had
at the same time been dislocated Just
above the shoulder. The broken YER
zebra had in the meantime united and
healed and the disease of the spinal
cord produced by the injury having
subsided she might have lived for
sometime yet but for other causes
Hers is rare case in medical surgery
and for the interest and benefit of the
profession will probably be described
scientifically in one of the medical
journals.
All was done for Mrs. Massey that
could be done medically and by hel
friends to help or alleviate her cOndi
ton. Her mental faculties were un
disturbed until temporarily toward thu
last, yet in the midst of her long aflic
ton she war ever patient and uncom
plaining-the embodiment of Christian
resignation to await the summon
when the Master should say it wa
enough, and would relieve the sou
from its earthly letters. She had beel
for years a member of the Presbyte
rian church and took great pleasure il
its communion. She leaves four chill
dren, all grown. The remains will b
buried this afternoon in the Odd Fel
lows cemetery.

The Dill Case.

The Dover correspondent of the
Morning nelUs makes the following
curious statement in the issue of that
paper yesterday:
The feeling engendered by the Dill
case, which was concluded on Wednes-
day morning last, has and will con-
tinue to be deepened and embittered
by time. 1t was shown plainly during
the trial that the "sides" We're string
emily marked politically. There were
Wolcottites and Saulsburyites inter
ested in the trial, both in and out of
the court room, and the WolcOttites
were Dillites or friends of the prisoner
while the -WolcOttites were also
anti. Dillites. This condition of affairs
was so marked that all people noted il
before the case had consumed a day OF
the courts time. Its progress was
noted with an interest that has never
been equalled by any trial in this court,
and the chances of the prisoner, with
the opinions as to his guilt or inno-
cence, were canvassed nightly at all
the local resorts to the exclu-
sion of almost every other topic.
This being the caseit is no wonder
that the conclusion raised an Outspo
ken sentiment from those in favor oil
the prisoner, and these gave expression
to their opinion of Chief Justice
Comegy's charge to the jury in plain
English

Changes of Schedule in Time Table.

New time schedules went into effect
on all of the railroads Monday. The
most radical changes were on the Del
aware railroad where one new Norfolk
express train is placed on the road
each way and the times of several
other trains are changed. 1t is de-
signed to run the Delaware railroad
trains in connection with the N. Y, T..
& n. railroad, so as to secure the south
bound mails which are now carried on
the south. bound fast mail. 1t is
claimed that seven hours in time are
gained by taking the mails over the
Peninsular route. The only source of
delay which might be experienced
would be in crossing from Cape Charles
to Norfolk, but the new steamer New
York, is built to Obviate the cause of
much delay, as she is built for sea SER
vice, and it is expected that she will
be able to cross in the toughest
weather. The run from New York to
Norfolk is expected to be made within
IL hours. The morning trains on the
Delaware railroad run very much as
heretofore from Wilmington. The
new Norfolk express leaving Whining
ton at 1920 P. NJ. will take the place Of
the Delaware connection formerly leav-
ing at 1856 p. NJ. The $50 p. NJ. train
will leave as heretofore, but new train
will leave Wilmington for the Della
ware division at 4.48 Pm. The train
which now leaves Wilmington at 6.25
p. NJ, will leave at p. NJ. A new
Norfolk express train will leave Will
mington at sos p. NJ. In place of the
Delaware train that reached Whining
ton at 6.35 p. NJ, there will be a new
connection which will leave Whining
ton about Z .35 P. NJ.

took up prohibition. The complications
which brought about his election were
the railroad question and other Ques-
tiOns growing out of it, 1t is well
known that the Republican party in
Iowa has suffered for the last five years
because of its advocacy of prohibition,
but it would have lost more if it had not
taken it up. Another great loss is the

who went to Dakota, but we have

of the defeat of her husbands party
she said
'The defeat is great surprise and
an unfortunate thing for temperance.

"Ihe people of Iowa have taken high

people know that such principle will
not be easily abandoned, for they con.

nevertheless. The Philadelphia Ledger
in noting the predictions that were
made last year about the prospects of
1889 says:
The year is now drawing to a close,
and, instead of being one of business
inaction and dull trade, it has been
one, so far, of even more than usual
activity, especially in respect of the
iron and steel and coal industries.
That the activity is general is demon
strated by the widespread complaint
of the lack of adequate transportation
facilities. There, is apparently, not
an important railway system any
where the traffic of which is not con-
gested, in consequence of the usual
masses of freight thrown upon it. The
truth appears to be that the transpOr-
tation companies were somewhat mis-
led by the frequent predictions of their
own customers to the effect that the
| present year would be an inactive one
and that they made no more than or
dinary provisions for period of prob
able dullness in trade, although it is
stated that the Pennsylvania Railroad
| Company has built as many as slH
thousand cars since the first of Janu'
airy last.
There is no better indication as &
rule, of the actual condition of The
country's business than the activity Ol
inactivity of the railroads. But the
country's business grows at such tire
mendOus pace as to seem to make i
difficult for the railroads to keep steI
with them, and the present or recent
inability of the carrying companies t.
handle promptly all the traffic which j
thrown upon their lines is apparent,
due less to their lack of extension @
their facilities of transportation tha
to the extraordinary and unexpecte
increase of the cOuntry's trade as
represented by its commerce, manu-
features and agriculture.

The Pan-American tourists are ex-
pected to return to their headquarters
in Washington to-day. They will
then resume the consideration of the
subjects for which they came from
their southern homes. The excursion
lists have been the recipients of many
presents from American manufacturers
in the various cities they have visited.
So liberal have been the gifts to the
delegates that a stOreroom has been
fitted up for the reception of the vari-
Gus articles. In almost every Western
and New England establishment the
visitors were presented with souvenirs
of the business houses, and some OF
them were so unwieldy that they were
expressed direct to the homes of the
several delegates.

Pretty Wedding near Smyrna.

A very pretty wedding was solemn
lied at the residence of the brides
parent, Gideon E. Rothwell, near town,
this afternoon, the contracting parties
being Miss Lille r. Rothwell and
James M. Shafer, of Mt. Union, Pa.
Shortly after two o'clock, the bridal
couple, proceeded by Miss Ida Arm
strong, as bridesmaid, and Alexander
H. Reynolds, as grOomsman, entered
the parlor to the strains of the wedding
march played by Miss Ella P. Sharp of
Harrington, and advanced to where
the Rev. w. S. Robinson was waiting,
under an umbrella of chrysan-
themums, to make them husband
and wife. The bride wore handsome
faille silk and the bridesmaid satin,
both with rOsebuds, while the gentle
men wore the conventional black. The
parlOr was prettily decorated with
flowers of various kinds. Quite num-
Der of friends and relatives from a
distance were in attendance, and the
presents were numerous and valuable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shafer left Immediately
after the wedding supper for tour to
Washington and other cities, and will
reach their new home in Mt. Union on
Saturday and hold a reception there
| that evening.
