Lines by Josie Crook
On the death Of John H. Crook, VIII
died April 18th, 1889.
o, Grandpa. dear. you've left Us here,
In this cold world TO roam;
While thou hast gone TO dwell forever
In thy eternal home.
Farewell. dear Grandpa, We must say
Farewell to thee. so soon:
Thou hast gone from earth away,
Beyond esrth's sun and moon.
Beyond the stars, that brightly shine
Upon thy grave 80 low:
Beyond earth's darkness 70 thy shrine
Where saints delight TO go.
For two long DAYS You suffered pain.
But meekly by bore II ell,
You did not murmur nor complain,
But waited Gods last call.
Yet God knows best, His name be blest,
lie doeth all things well.
| He took You 10 your heavenly rest,
In highest joys 70 dwell.
Then Farewell. Grandpa. till We meet
AT home in Heaven above,
To sing Gods praise In music sweet,
| And dwell In Jesus love.

The President Expected Home To-Day
 After Trip to Maryland.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The President stole silently away for short hunting trip in Maryland, but is expected at the White House sometime tomorrow.
 The excursion was arranged by eX- Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, who accompanied the President, but the proposed destination of the party was kept secret. and even Private Secretary Halford was ignorant of the Presidents whereabouts.
 From the fact that E. R. Knight, of Triumph, Maryland, accompanied the President and General Sewell, it is be- lieved that they are quartered at his residence near the above-named place. Mr. Knight is a noted duck hunter, and has sent presents of canvasbacks and redheads to the White House.

TRIED TO KILL HIS UNCLE.
A Skeleton in the Paterson Closet Leads
 to an Attempt at Murder.

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., Nov. 15.-Im- mense excitement was caused here last night over the attempt made by John Paterson, son of millionaire Zekiel Paterson, to shoot William Paterson, his fathers brother. William Paterson is also a millionaire.
 At 9 o'clock last night he met his nephew in front of Zekiel's residence on George street. The two men were sud denly seen to clinch and then fall and roll about in the mud. Young Paterson drew revolver and levelled it at his uncle's head. Just as he was about to fire policeman appeared on the scene and caught young Paterson's arm and took the pistol from him.
 A large crowd gathered about the Pat erson mansion, eager to learn the cause of the trouble. Young Paterson was taken to jail and locked up. He refused to make any statement regarding the trouble between him and his uncle. The latter also declined to talk about the affair, and said that it was a little family matter with which the public had nothing to do.
 It is not believed that the uncle will press the charge against young Pater- son.
 The PatersoS family are well known in this part of New Jersey, and the Pat erSon brothers are known all over the State on account of their extensive spec ulations in coal and iron.

 ATLANTA. Ga. Nov. 15.-The Knights of Labor Convention received dele gation from the city and State w. c. T. U. societies. A speech was made by Miss Stokes during which sho congratulated Master Workman Powderly on having excluded rum sell CTS from the order, and on being him self Prohibitionist.
 Mr. Powderly replied by answering that they would always find their firm est allies among the Knights of Labor.
 When the ladies had withdrawn the report Of the Law Committee was taken up the reading of which was postponed.
 Some very important changes in the bylaws and constitution were sug gested. The most important change made was to allow the transfer of a To- cal assembly to any District Assembly or to the General Assembly without the consent of either the District, National Trade or State Assembly, as heretofore required. It was proposed to amend the fourth plank of the platform. and a long discussion followed. The matter will be taken up and settled on Monday.

 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.-The consid- eration of tho application of C. Oscar Beasley on behalf of Porter r. Core and Mrs. Emma D. Coolidge for c3.nl- 7- sion in lunacy for Mrs. Josepn na Cope was to have been heard yesterday, but owing to another case. wa' pos poned by Judge Hore until to-day.
