some time with complication Of die
eases and his death was not unlocked

Dr.. Maxwell was favorite pastor
Of the First Presbyterian Church in
this city for a number of years preced-
ing the late DIR. Broedhead. He was
greatly beloved by the congregation,
and was highly esteemed by our citi-
zens generally. For time he did cdi-
torial work on the newspapers here,
principally in connection with the
Daily Chronicle, which was the first
daily paper started here.
MFR. Maxwell came. to the First
Church in May 1874, or thereabouts,
and remained Six years. No pastor in
Bridgeton ever made himself SO be.
loved, and won such universal esteem
in such short length of time as he did.
He was popular, not in the sense of
pleasing the multitude, but in that
higher and nobler sense, of ''going
about doing good" He was an eio
quent and ready preacher, possessed
of all the graces of pleasing oratory
he was an earnest preacher, sincerity
being stamped upon his utterances.
His earnestness and eloquence was
equalled by his zsal, for he was always

ever ready whenever a situation for
usefulness presented itself. Affable

his parishioners, but of the general

His influence here was felt in every
branch of public prosperity and no

public affairs here than he did.
In sermon and lecture, with tongue
and pen, he was ever ready to do

BIRCHALL'S FATAL DROP
The Murderer Executed This
Morning
FOR SLAYING F. c. BENWELl.
The Fatal Drop is Sprung at
500 o'clock.
The Sequel of n Celebrated Case That In
terested Twp Nations--4t Daring Con-
spiracy Which Involved Human
Slaughter.

WooDsTocK, ONT, Nov. 12.- Birchall
has made his will. The last testament
was drawn up by one of the prisoners
solicitors, and was witnessed by the day
guard. Turnkey Forbes and Mr.. Leet-
ham, Birchalls college friend, are ap-
pointed executors, and all of his effects,
including a legacy which he says is
coming to him, are bequeathed to his
wife.
For the past two days Birchall has
been even unusually particular about
his dress and personal appearance, and
has been in particularly good spirits.
He was much interested yesterday in
the music Of a passing band belonging
to small minstrel show, and INDUCED
in an interesting criticism on the play
ing.
The sheriff himself is more disturbed
and agitated over the coming execution
than the condemned man. He has ad-
ditional grounds for trepidation now in
that the unusual permission to hold
private interview with his wife has been
granted to Birchall by the Department
Of Justice, and having been unable to
disabuse his mind of the fear that the
prisoner will yet by suicide cheat the
gallows the good county officer sees in
his mental eye terrible possibilities
through this meeting.

TIE CRE.iMERY EIRE.
Undoubtedly the Work of an Incendiary-.
To be Rebuilt at Once.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
M1pDLETowN, Nov l3.-The burning of
the large creamery at this place early yes
terday morning was a misfortune that is
severely felt in this community. The
building and its contents are to-day COM
plete ruin. The loss will not be quite so
heavy as was first thought, but will ag-
gregate at least $4,000 There was an in
surance of 5000 on the building and ma
chinery.
Later developments lead every one to
believe that the fire was of incendiary
origin. The fire in the engine had been
banked at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and
the place was fastened as usual for the
night. When the first person arrived on
the scene the engineroom door was open
and the engine was running at full speed
Every indication goes to show that the fire
was started by some unknown party, but
what could have been their motive is not
known. The directors of the company and
the insurance people will offer big reward
for the arrest and conviction of the incen-
diary.
The burning of the creamery has caused
quite furry among the adjoining con-
Germs. The Summit Bridge, Odessa, Sassa-
fras and Townsend creameries will all
profit by the loss of the one here as the
farmers will take their milk to them until
the Middletown creamery is rebuilt, which
will probably not be long as steps have
already been taken to secure suitable To-
cation. 1t is stated that the Odessa cream
cry will only take milk from the farmers
now upon the conditions that they sign an
agreement to patronize them after the
Mlddletown creamery is rebuilt.

The cases of Paul Ward and Daniel
Mcguire charged with assault on Samuel
N. Trump at the Twenty-sixth district
polls on election day were heard by
Judge Ball last night week. Mr.. Trump
stated he was struck by Ward in the
face. There was a great crowd at the
window and two deputy marshals at
tempted to quiet matters. Ward, who
was deputy sheriff, considered that the
deputy marshals had no right to inter
fere. Alteration and confusion fol
lowed. II was then that the assault took
place. There was no proof that Mcguire
struck any blow and the case against
him was dismissed. James Il. Writ tes-
titled he saw Deputy Sheriff Ward strike
Mr.. Trump. Officer Russell gave similar
evidence. Joseph Sinex, another wit
ness, testified that Mr.. Trump called
Ward a liar. He did not see the latter
strike NJ. Trump. Deputy Sheriff VIII
liam Forsythe heard the defendant make
threats against Mr. Trump and saw
Ward thrust his hand backward at Mr..
Trump, but not with any violence. The
court fined Ward $5 and costs. The
latter with fine amounted To 1880.

SOFT AND PRETTY HANDS.
Any Lady Can Have Perfect Beauties If She
Has Patience and Common Sense.

Any Lady Can Have p rfect Beauties, IL She
Has Patience and Common Sense.
From the PittsburG Dispatch.
The proper care of the hands is much sim
pier thing than the manicure artists wish one to
believe. 1t only needs everyday watchfulness
and little knowledge of what to do and what
to avoid. The appliances are very simpe-good
soap, Turkish toweling washrag glycerine, al
mond -four, nail scissors, chamois polisher,
flat, dullpointed pusher, Ga silver letteropener
is just the right shape,) and, last but not least,
plenty of hot water.
The nails should be cut regularly once a week
before washing, for il soft one is apt to cut them
too short. When washing rub diligently every
knuckle and every nail with the rag. The hand
cannot be rubbed too long. With the nail of
one finger push down the flesh around another
and clean the nails with one another while still
in the hot suds. Then rinse and put on glycer-
inc, rubbing very long; then rinse this off and
put on almond flour, which will give softness
and gloss to the skin. When this is rinsed off
and the hands dried carefully the result is a sue
cess.
If not satisfied with the cleanliness of the
nail use Il soft pocket handkerchief with your
nail. Never use either scissors or anything
sharp under the nail. If cleaner is necessary,
fold piece of the edge of newspaper into
point and use that The constant rubbing of
the nails with the washrag will keep the 'sel-
vage' pushed down; if not, use the letter
opener carefully, so as not to break the edge.
Then polish the nails with the chamos rubber,
and finally rub the nails upon your cheek and
all the oil necessary will be obtained.
Should any stain, like shoe polish or ink, get
under the nail, put on some cold cream, and
after rubbing carefully rinse off with hot water
Never use any acid on the hands Stains from
kid gloves can be removed with cold cream
When the hands are very tired from any kind
Of work let them stay in very hot water as long
as possible, and follow with rubbing with glyce-
rinc as long as your patience holds out.
When fruit picking and preserving time comes
rub little butter on the finger tips and under
the nails; then rinse off with hot water before
using soap, as the soap is apt to set the stain.

TO CURE SEA-SICKNESS.
A Remedy That is Proposed by a Navy
Surgeon.

Remedy That is Proposed by a Navy
Surgeon.
From the New York Sun.
Charles w. Hamilton, Navy surgeon, pub
fishes his plan for curing sea-sickness "The
successful treatment of sea-sickness, which
surgeons afoat have so much to do WITH and
which generally they are unable effectively to
alleviate, must prove my excuse for bringing
before the profession the curative effect of kola,
(sterculia acuminata.) In the few cases which
| have lately had to deal with l have found the
internal administration of the seed of the kola
a most successful remedy. Half to one drachm
of the seed chewed slowly was followed, in
about forty minutes, by complete cessation of
the various symptoms of NAL de mer; the de-
preston, vomiting, and giddiness disappeared; :;
the hearts action was regulated and strength
ened, and aconidence was felt in heavy weather
that my cases never before experienced during
the many years that they served in the royal
navy, and had tried the usual remedies pre-
of preventing sea-sickness in those susceptible
of it is known, and venture to believe that in
the kola, or its alkaloid, we have one, and that
a larger trial of this drug will tend to support
my opinion. From its well-known sustaining
and invigorating properties during fatigue, for
which it is daily used by the natives on the
west coast of Africa and the Soudan, its action
in sea-sicllness seems to be the giving tone to
the nervous system, proving stimulant-act-
ing generally and locally"
