THE MAYORS LAST SPEECH.

In acknowledging the graceful COM
pliment the retiring Mayor said that in
turning over the administrative affairs
of the city to bis successor he did it with
feeling of pleasure mixed with pain.
With pleasure because he was rid OF the
heavy responsibility attending city afs
fairs; with pain because he was severing
his official relationship with gentlemen
whom he had learned to love and respect.
He paid a warm and glowing tribute
his successor, said that Hon. Jere
Murphy, like himself, was a Huntsvil-
gian born and reared, whose every in-
terest was centered here, and whose par
ents like his own, "slept the sleep that
knows no waking" in the city cemetery
He bespoke for Mr.. Murphy the hearty
cooperation and harmony of the Board
Then turning TO Mr.. Murphy he SHOOK
him warmly by the hand and conducted

The banse Of tue Physical Deterioration ~
Dwellers In cities.
The general unftness and incapable
ity Of the dwellers in our large hives
OF industry to undergo continued vio-
lent exertion, or to sustain long en-
durance OF fatigue, is a fact requiring
little evidence ~ establish; nor can
they tolerate Che withdrawal OF food
under sustained physical effort for any
prolonged period as compared with the
dwellers w rural districts. II may be
affirmed also that. through the various
factors at work night and day upon
the constitution OF the poorer class OF
town-dwelhers, various forms OF dis
ease are developed, OF which pulmon-
airy consumption is the most familiar,
and which is doing its work in lavish
and unerring fashion. Thus it may be
conceded rs m established. fact that
the townsman Is, on the whole, constl'
tutionally dwaried in tone, and his
life, man for man, shorter, weaker and
more uncertain than the countryman's.
/ hold the opinion that the deteriora-
tion is more in physique, as implied in
the loss of physical or muscular power
Of the body. the attenuation Of muscu-
lar fiber, thd l6ss Of integrity OF cell
structure, and consequent liability to
the invasion of disease, rather than in
actual stature OF inch-measurement.
The true causes OF this deterioration
are neither very obscure nor far to
seek. They are bad air and bad hab-
its. To these may be added prolific
factor operating largely to produce
degeneration of rare, and that Isl fre,
queut tintermarriage, often necessitated
by religious aflinities.-G b. Barron

HAMMERED TO DEATH
George Arthur Killed i'm the Tower al
Factory a.


George Arthur, employed at the
Company, met his death at II o'clock
Monday morning under peculiar cir
cumStanceS.
He, with three other men, one of
whom acts as foreman Of the gang,
was employed at the drying pans. a
part of the work consisted in keeping
the elevator in order. /. e., clearing it
Of chunks Of clay whenever necessary.
AT about five minutes Of II George
concluded that the elevator was not
acting just right, and started up the
several flights of stairs to see what
was the matter. The foreman, know
ing that George had never been up in
the tower before, was somewhat I'M
certain as to his knowledge Of the ele-
vatOr, and about three minutes later,
went up to assist him. When he
reached the top Of the last flight Of
stairs, what was his horror to see the
apparently lifeless body of his late
comrade swiftly revolving with the
elevator shaft, around which his
clothing was firmly wrapped. He i'm
mediately called for help, and, the
machinery btlhS oIDpptu, IDuptlluJ 'h-
dent Holland, assisted by Others, cut
poor Arthur down. His clothing had
been torn from his body down TO the
thighs, and it was found necessary TO
cut the clothing from the body and
then remove it from the shafting with
a chiSel.
Arthur, who was insensible, was re-
moved to the office, and DR.. Dyer
called to attend him. Nothing could
be done for him, however. and he died
in few minutes. Indeed, in twenty
minutes from the time he left the dry
pan he was corpse. His head was
not crushed, but exhibited several
ugly bruises, and a cut about an inch
long, while his hands and arms were
bruised and broken in a horrible
manner.

A man by tn name Of Conrad Fleck'
enstein, a teamster, who lived on the
west side with his wife and two chill
dren. had for some time been trading
with Geo. Fox, getting his groceries
from time to time, and George accom-
modating him and waiting for his
money. A day or two ago Fleckensteir
skipped the town, leaving his family
destitute, and wrote back to his wife
from Wyanette. Mrs. Fleckensteir
gave the letter to Fox, who immedi-
ately sent postals describing him all
along the line west of here, and then
went himself to Wyanette. Here he
learned that his man had departed for
Rock Island, ndinforming the officials
there, he came home, and next day
FleckenStein was arrested in Rock
Island through the description Fox
had given. The latter sent Richard
Norris to Rock Island and met the
man, who promptly paid Fox's bill

The news was received Monday by
Mr.. S. b. Bradford, a relative, that
Mr.. e. M. Galloway, former we'll
known resident Of this county, had
been killed by an accident in Montana
on Friday Dec. 9Th. 1t appears that
Mr.. Galloway, who lives at Como,
Montana, was going over to the home
of Mr.. Geo. w. Galloway, Mr.. Brad
fords uncle, at Corvallis, on the "Cor.
wallis Transfer" a mail wagon, and by
some accident, probably a runaway,
he was thrown out, bursting blood
vessel in his lungs. The accident took
place about two miles from Corvallis,
and Mr.. Galloway, with the rest Of
the passengers, had to walk to town.
Before he got there, however, he gave
out, and but for the assistance Of two
young men would have died in heroad.
With their assistance he reached Mr.
George Galloway's house, but died
there about five minutes after he
reached the house. He was past so
years Of age, and years ago was a resi-
dent Of this county, the village and
post Office Of Galloway, in this county
having been named after him. He
leaves one daughter Mrs. JAS. McClin-
tic, residing in Montana, and another,
Mrs. VIM. Dickerman, of this county,
surviving him.
