a Novel Hnisoda.

The following, vouched for as being abso-
lutely correct, is furnished to the New York
Herald by Bauch O'Brien:
Several years before the war nv father
Judge Thomas n. O'Brien, now of Colorado
was resident OF Washington. The lady who
atterward became my mother lived in Wash
lngton, and 1t was during their courtship that
the interesting episode occurred. MY father
who was an inveterate smoker, had lust paid
an evening visit to his sweetheart and upon
leaving the house produced a cigar for his
inevitable smoke and then discovered that he
had no match. Observing a man approaching
IN the distance, my father walked on toward
him, and upon meeting the gentleman stopped
HIM with, 1 beg your pardon, sir, but will you
obliRe me with lightr Without an instant s
hesitation the gentleman reached his right
hand around to his hip pocket and drew out a
revolver, with his left hand removed the
lighted cigar from his mouth, placed the cigar
in the muzze of the revolver and extending that
toward my father, said coolly, Certainly sir
In the glare of the lamp on the opposite corner
my father recognized Mr.. Davis. At the time
referred to the sandbagger and footpad was
holding forth royalty in the capital, and Mr..
Davis had simply been prepared for the gentry
who were in the habit of asking the time of
night or for light. My father accepted the
light thus offered and some time afterward
unon being introduced to Mr.. Davis, spoke of
his nocturnal encounter, and through the gen
eral explanation and laugh that followed an
acquaintance sprang up that continued to the
opening of the war" ~.

Hard Up for SENATORIAL Timher.

The republicans of the Montana legisla-
ture are talking about sending B. Platt
Carpenter to the United States Senate.
Isn't this a little premature II justice is
done, they won't send anybody to the
senate. There can be no joint ballot until
both branches of the legislature are organ
lied, and the prospect of organization
doesn't seem to be very fiattering.
Carpenter is the sort Of man likely to
be acceptable to party that is willing to
profit by fraud. He has figured in quite an
interesting and not at all creditable way in
republican politics. He is the man whose
treachery made possible the nomination of
Charles ]. Folger for governor by the re-
publicans Of New York in 1892. The
popular feeling was for Gov. Cornell, who
was about completing a term. but the
Arthur administration wanted Folger to be
nominated. Carpenter was a warm sup
porter of Cornell, whose canvass he was
conducting, but when the convention met,
he deserted him, induced the Duchess county
delegation to vote for Folger, and
secured Folger's nomination. He was himself
nominated for lieutenant governor, and few
ton was part Of the reward for his treach-
cry. These things are still fresh in the
memory of many people. The republicans
of New York were greatly embittered, and
Folger was disposed to withdraw from the
race under the fearful storm of Indignation.
At the election, Mr.. Cleveland received the
unparalleled majority of $4,000, and Car
penter's vote was even less than Folger's.
Spurned by his party, Carpenter was ap-
pointed by President Arthur governor of
Montana as further reward for his treach-
cry.
This is the man whom the Montana repub-
licans want to honor. In the meantime,
what are they going to do with Russell

lations of Montana politics to be barren of

The Philadelphia Inquirer said few
days ago that the color line had almost
been obliterated in that city, but the H.
Quirer was mistaken. 1t was talking for
political effect. The truth is that the color
line is as closely drawn in Philadelphia as 1t
ever was. The republican newspapers of
the Quaker City may coddle the colored cit
izen, but, nevertheless, the colored citizen
knows that he is tolerated, and not loved.
He doesn't stop at the hotels, he DOESN'T &C.
cupy front seat at the theaters, and he
doesn't sit side by side with white man at
a restaurant table.

The Gainesville Tragedy.

The killing of Louis Witouski, the
may OF Of Starke, Fla, by A. B. Thrasher
lawyer Of Gainesville, Fla, in the latter
city On Wednesday. is unnecessarily clothed
IL good deal of mystery. Our dispatches
have gwen the facts as far as they are
known. Why the coroner's inquest should
have been held in secret is about as mystic
rious as the killing. The facts will have TO
come out some time, aud why should they
not be made public now
Louis WitOuski was a prominent mer-
chant of Starke, as well as mayor of that
city. He was also member Of the board
Of commissioners Of Bradford county. The
fact that no weapon was found upon his
person is regarded as satisfactory evidence
that he did not go to the lawyers Office with
the purpose Of doing any violent act. 1t
cannot very well be said, therefore, that
the lawyer shot him in self-dofense.
1t is asserted that woman is mixsi up
in the matter, and that the woman is a sis
ter-in-law Of tie lawyer. The woman was
recently an employe of Witouski j, and it is
said that he charged her with having been
false 20 the trust which he repossd in her.
He went to Gainesville 10 see her and get
settlement, and threatened to make public
the charge which he made against her.
If this story is not true, it is very unjust
TO the woman, and makes it clear that
everything known with respect to the trag-
edy ought to have been made public at the
coroner's inquest. The lawyer. however.
has made no statement, as far as we know.
and it is doubtless in his power to say
whether or not the story is true.
But whether the story is true or not, it
does not excuse the shooting Unless there
are other developments putting the tragedy
in a different light from that in which it
at present appears. the shooting Of Wit
kovski was unprovoked. He was invited to
the lawyers Office, and was there killed.

The Massachusetts, people who were so
enthusiastic over Mr.. Cleveland in Boston
the other day should have shown a little
more enthusiasm for him at the polls last
November. The republican majority in
that state In 1888 was considerably greater
than in 1884. The unusual display of en-
thusiasm for the ex- President at this time.
however, may possibly be owing to the fact
that Massachusetts, realizes what a great
mistake the country made in electing Gen.
Harrison President.

The st. Louis Republic attempts to show
that Attorney General Miller was not sin
cere when he deprecated violations of the
federal election laws at last falls congress
sional elections, and it produces a very
strong argument to show that he was not.
Mr.. Miller, it says, had his attention called
to such violations in st. Louis, but did
nothing to punish the violators. On the
contrary, he encouraged them by appoint
ing as district attorney a man who was
very active in raising the corruption fund
by means of which the frauds were perpe-
trated. The Republic should know, how
ever, that the attorney general did not re-
fer to actual republican frauds BE was
striking at imaginary democratic frauds.

The Rev. Dr. Rainsford, of st. Georges
Episcopal church, New York, is said to be
one of the best ''shots" in that city. He is
SO fond of hunting game that he sometimes
violates the game law, and few days ago
he was arraigned before Justices court
for having done so. He said that he did
not violate the law on the occasion referred
to, but that he had done so previously, and
he felt morally bound to pay the penalty
The justice fined him s25 and costs. A
conscientious man like DR.. Rainsford can't
afford to go hunting out of season very
often, unless he is quite wealthy.

1t seems that Mrs. Wilson Waddington
has not yet received her divorce. That she
has not is no fault of the defendant, how
ever. He has made no effort to prevent
her from obtaining it, and his actions indi-
cate that he will be glad when she does.
The judge says that she must appear per-
sonally in court before the case is decided,
and as she is quite i'll. she will not be able to
do so for some time. The judge says also
that he wants New York to stop dumping
its divorce cases into Chicago. The best
way to bring about that result is for nli-
nois to make more stringent divorce laws.

The only matter of general interest in
the recent death, at Somerville, Mass, Of
Mrs. Mary Tyler is that Mrs. Tyler was
said TO be the heroine of the celebrated
rhyme beginning "Mary had little
lamb" The Boston Transcript denies that
she was, but she has long been considered
so by people who interested themselves in
the matter. Mrs. Tyler was IS years old,
and she was little Mary Sawyer when her
lamb followed her to school one day more
than half century ago.

The YOUNGSTOWN Charity.

The relief committee that was charged
with the duty of distributing the money
that was donated to the sufferers of the
Conemaugh valley disaster has completed
its work and closed its books. The total
amount of the donations of which the COM
mission had any knowledge was something
over "a ,000, 600. There were, OF course, many
hundreds of thousands of dollars distributed
by benevolent organizations and religious
bodies which did not pass through the
hands Of the relief commission.
The charity is spoken of as the most
colossal one of modern times. Contribu-
tons were freely made in every part of the
country for the sufferers, and large sums
were sent to them from Europe. Only the
other day the ex-minister to Turkey, Mr..
Sraus, in defending the Sultan of Turkey
against a charge that had appeared in the
public prints, called attention to the fact
that the Sultan had contributed out of his
private purse several thousand dollars to
the Johnstown relief fund.
The work of the relief commission ap-
pears to have been quite satisfactory. 1t
was subjected to considerable criticism for
delays In distributing money IN its posses
son, but in announcing the end of its work
it took occasion to say that these delays
were unavoidable, and that if the distribu-
ton had been made before a well-digested
plan for giving the money to the most de-
serving had been adopted the large part of
the charity probably would have been
seeuredAby those least entitled to it.
dtwill be a long time before the Cone
maugh valley is as dourishing as it once
was Johnstown, however, is being rapidly
rebuilt, and the most important Of the mills
and factories of the valley are again in
operation. The people are hopeful about
the future, and doubtless within few years
| the great disaster will have been about for
| gotten by all except those who were suffer
| ers from it.
