DEATH OF JOSEPH REEVES.
The Close of an EminentIy Chris
fian Life i'm the Death OF an
Upright Citizen.

Joseph Reeves died at his home on
Pearl st, Saturday morning, about 2
o'clock. Mr.. Reeves was one of our
oldest citizens, being in his SD year at
the time of his death; he was 80 years
old October 1st, last.
The death of Mr.. Reeves takes from
ourssmidst q ripe Christian, whose life
was as pure stream which from it's
source to its emptying into the great
sea, freshened and blessed all upon its
borders. He was a man of exalted
piety and character, and with sweet
ness of disposition which marked the
course of his long life to the very end.
About two weeks ago, Mr.. Reeves was
prostrated with severe cold, and the
intense heat of the weather coming on
together with his advanced age, COM
plications were brought on which
proved fatal. His death was peaceful,
and, like his life, full of Christian hope.
From the first OF his sickness he seemed
to be impressed that his hours were
numbered, and talked to his family and
friends with that view upon his mind.
Mr.. Reeves was never a. man to pre-
crastinate, and over and again he.told
them that his peace had been made
| with God long ago, and he was not
only ready for the summons. but more
than ready.
He retained his full consciousness to
the last moment.
Joseph Reeves was born on North
Laurel street in this city, and spent his
whole life here; he was the brother Of
the late johnson and Samuel Reeves,
and of Mrs. Mary Fithian of Pine
street, who survives him.
He was twice married, his second
wife surviving him. He leaves three
daughters; one by his first merriage is
the wife of Mr.. Robert Todd, and re-
sides in Edinburgh, Scotland the sec
ond married the Rev. VIM. Dayton
Roberts, and resides in Philadelphia;
and the youngest, Miss Mary, lives at
home. For sixty-six years-two gen
erations, Mr.. Reeves was employed in
the Cumberland Nail & Iron Works,
he being a mailer by trade; for a num-
Der of years past he was foreman OF
the back mill;" he quit the works on
his S0th birthday.
He was member of the First Fresby-
terian Church, ever since he was boy,
aud was the senior Elder of that
church.
His first wife was Miss Jane Holmes,
a daughter of the late Jonathan Hol.

Illustrative Nap Drawing.

Prof. G. H. Pletts has adopted a
very unique and comprehensive way
of showing the staple productions OF
the states, the maps of which are
drawn by the pupils in the grammer
department of the Second Ward
School. He procured small vials in
which samples Of these productions
are placed and then they are attached
to the maps. Substances of wood. the
metals, fabrics and the like are atttch-
ed to the maps as they arr.
For instance New Jersey map has
a bottle of glass sand attached to it,
and pieces Of zinc and copper Ver-
mont has vial of butter and cheese,
representing its dairy products North
Carolina has vials of rurpintine, tar, a
chunk of rcsia and piece of pine
lumber

IVY HALL COMMENCEMENT,
A BRILLIANT CLOSING OFF TaIE
SCHOOL YEAR.
Mid Ferns and Flowers. Yo1ag
Ladies BID Farewell go Teach

A more beautiful scene than thai
presented at the First Presby terian
Church, last nights very seldom en-
joyed. The occasion was the Com
mencement exercises of Ivy Hail. In
years past there have been successful
commandments at Ivy Hall, but none
more so than given by the class Of 30.
The entire front OF the Presbyterian
Church last night was a mass of ferns,
plants and flowers. Platforms had
been erected upon either side Of he

ferns, plants and flowers. Here the

of composing the class Of 80, sat. On
one side,upo the platform, sat q NUN

The opening march was played hy
Prof. Presson Miller, upon the pipe

prayer, and Prof. Miller rendered On
the organ ''Carillou De Louis XIV.n
Miss Katharine Chickerine Hort, Of
this city, read an essay and delivered
the salutatory il mcst pleasing man
ner. A chorus was sung "Come where
Flowers are Blooming, and this vas
followed by an essay "And what Fol-
lows" by Miss Maude Alma Horner,
of Bridgeton. The essay was espe-
cially well written, while its delivery
won for the young lady golden opln-
ions. In the minds Of very many
the essay was the best selection of the
evening. Prof. Miller rendered the
overture "Tancred," and Miss Pearl
Lacy Pierce, of Rancho Grande, Texas,
delivered pleasing essay "Womanly
Industries.
The chorus ''On Life's journey
preceded a. very interesting essay so
ciety better than Solitu6e,n by Miss
Mary Sellers, of this city. The chorus

rendered, and Miss Harriet Denison

valedictory. As valedictorian Miss
Reeves made a lasting impression, her
remarks being most appropriate.

He was especially desirous Of impress

the fact that education was rot com
plete with the closing OF school books.
Many advanced that opinion, but it
was a mistaken idea. While one lives.
one has much to learn. With sound
advice to the young ladies, DR.. CatteM
closed an excellent address.
The dietton was pronounced by
Rev. Geo. S. Sykes, Of Red Bank.
A large table was filed with
exquisite presents for the young
ladies, which they received after the
exercises.

SHADELAND.-W call our attention to
the ad. of Messrs. Powell Bros, whose
stock has become so we'll known through
out America that no argument is needed
to convince one desiring choice animals
of any breed, of the wisdom of visiting
their establishment before making Sc
lection. They feel justified in saying
that their experience as breeders and i'm
porters, their facilities, low rates OF
transportation, large numbers constantly
on hand (now being over 1000 head OF

their business enables them to offer in

The Mormons having been out-vot-
ed in the municipal contest in Salt
Lake City have followed the example
of their democratic sympathizers in
the East, and are trying to steal the
official records of the election with
the view of frustrating the will Of the
people. Two attempts at theft have
been made, the second on Saturday
evening, but the records having been
placed in a safe deposit vault, no
booty of any consequence was OBJ
tanned. Such methods as these will
not succeed in Salt Lake City any
more than in Jersey City.

FIorida's Foes.

We note in the Florida Times I'm
ion long Washington communica
ton headed as above. The occasion
grew out of statement that had been
made in Washington by a [. 5. Off
cial that it was impossible to enforce
the laws, punish murderers, subpoena
witnesses, ETC., on account of the
condition of feeling and the presence
of outlaws and murderers. Since the
article appeared, u. $. marshal has
beed shot down in cold blood in the
same county, and there is evidence
of an attempt to nullify the law and
defy the authorities of the country.
When the Times Union and all other
papers of the South set themselves
at work to so change public sentiment
as to make obedience to law, all law,
the will and the purpose of the peO-
pie, such murder will not occur and
public sentiment will maintain the
law. The South by acts of violence,
by refusing the right of suffrage,
by a rekindled spirit of antipathy
toward the North, is her own worst
enemy. The lesson of obedience to
law, justice, humanity and decency
ought to have been learned ere this.
If the present spirit prevails and
fraud, dishonesty in elections, and
murder are to continue, there will be a
retaliation such as woswitnessed in the
days of the rebellion. There is
great deal of forbearance in the North
but inh umanity, law-breaking, mur
der, and treason call for redess, stern,
and if necessary, relentless.

Lieutenant-governor Woodbury. and
Hon. Carroll S. Page are the two
most prominent names thus far men
toned for the republican nomination
for governor. with the chances great

If Mr.. Page is elected governor,
next fall, the State of Vermont will
be run on business principles the next
two years; and, without any dispar-
agement of other candidates, the Re
porter can be counted for Carroll S.
Page.-Springfeld Reporter.
Hon. c. S. Page of Hyde Park, we
think, would be a good man for Gov
ernor, and would run well. His great
business capacity, coupled with long
experience in holding important offices
in the state, render him very eff
cient person for the gubernatorial

We think from the present outlook
that the gubernatorial contest lies
between Page, Batchelder, Woodbury.
and Hooker, all meritorious men of
prominence and ability. Each is
strong in influence in his various
paths of life, and has strong back
ings. May the best man win-and
that man, we think, will be Carroll

The fight over the new code of
rules can hardly be called skirmish,
for when it came to a vote their adOp-
ton was made without a struggle.
The absentees were more numerous
on the Democratic than on the Re-
publican side and Speaker Reed found
no difficulty in fixing a quorum with
out resorting to counting non-voters.
At o'clock on Friday, as provided
by the Springer resolution, Mr.. Reed
declared that the hour had arrived
for the vote and it was taken without
demonstration or unusual incidents.
Mr.. Carlisle had advised a peaceful
course and his advice was taken.
The mill in the Senate was grind
ing unusually fast on Friday, sixty
bills being passed. You could hear
the buzzing of the wheels. There
came clog when bill to pension
one David Peterson tried to 60
through. 1t was passed on the sup
position that the calender was gospel
and if it was set down there as re-
ported favorably, it must be all right.
Subsequently Senator Cockrell called
the attention of the Senate to the fact
that the bill had beeu in reality re-
ported unfavorably, and the measure
was taken back and killed, after
which the busy mill went blithely on
its way.
The SEVENTEEN birthday of that
surprising woman, Susan B. Antho-
ny, was celebrated Saturday by a
dinner at the Riggs house, given by
her admirers. Two hundred and fifty
covers were laid and the flow of wit
aud humor was said to be simply
stunning. Miss Anthony has aged
very little in the last decade and it
seems hard to realize that she has
reached her seventieth year. In this
she resembles the greater number of
people who are continually before
Congress with bills that they enter
tain no reasonable hope of having
passed. They rarely show the ap-
proach of old age. AS in mad houses,
the victims are kept youthful by their
imaginations. Miss Anthony speaks
as quickly and uncompromisingly as
ever and the eyes between the wide
trimmed glasses flash with the defiant
light that has grown so familiar to
everyone.
Civil Service Commissioner Roose-
veit has been about the House for
two or three days trying to find out
why the committee appointed to in
vestigate the Civil Service Commits
sion does not commence its lahors.
The committee promised to 60 to
work but thus far heve only decided
one question, and that would seem to
be one requiring no particular mental
exertion, being only as to taking up
the charges against the present COM
mission first, which was decided in
the affirmative. There can be no
doubt of Mr.. Roosevelt's anxiety to
have the investigation begin at once.
He is naturally an impetus man and
delay is to him bugbear. He says
that he wants no whiUe-washing re-
port. Commissioner Lyman does
not say what he wants, but it is to be
presumed that he desires to get out
of the trouble as easily as possible,
/ for his skirts are blackened with the
mud of two administrations.

and ordered Isaac to remove his
clothing which was minutely examin-
ed, as were his shoes, stockings and
hat. Upon the shirt, drawers and
trowsers blood spots were found, in
some instances as large as silver
dollar. The spots also bore evidence
of having been rubbed, in an attempt
to remove them. A searching party
was then organized and Sawtelle's
body was found at 1 :15 o'clock in
the afternoon in the woods near Leb-
anon, Me. The head and arms were
missing. The body was found pro-
truding from roughly made grave,
and there was bullet wound near
the heart. The spot was only about
three yards from where Thursday an
ak was found wrapped in paper, which
had been bought by Isaac B. Saw
telle, the dead mans brother, at
Rochester, N. H., a few days ago.
TIE hardware dealer who sold it iden-
tilted Isaac as the buyer. The only
clothing on the body was pair of
socks. The finding of the body shows
conclusively that a horrible murder
has been committed and the outlook
for the accused prisoner, Isaac b.
Sawtelle, is darker than ever before.
Yet, it is claimed by some, that as
Isaac undoubtedly had confederates
the murder itself may have been com
mitted by them, although the prison
Ell himself may have been responsible
for it. The case is one of the most
interesting in the criminal history of
New England, and although it has
apparently been shrouded in mystery
from the beginning, the work of the
detectives upon the case has been so
thorough that a complete chain of ev-
idence against the prisoner, from the
time of his leaving his brother Hi
rams house until the finding of the
latter's body, is laid bare, and shows
so little attempt on Isaac's part to
cover his tracks, that it seems strange
that any one could have been mysti-
fed as to his intentions or actions.
