aged one. who twenty-four years Agowo
put away for the resurrection
About eighty years ago. and just boz
iore their marriage day, my father and
mother stood up In the old meeting
at Somerville, N. J., and took
upon then the vow Of the Christian.
Through . long life Of vicissitude my
mother lived harmlessly and u~scfuliy,
and came to her end in peace. No child
OF want ever came to her door and WAS
turncd away empty. No one In sorrow
came to her but was comforted. No one
asked her the way to be saved but she
pointed him to the cross When the
angel Of life came TO . neighbours dwell
ing she was there to rejoice at the start
Ing OF another immortal spirit When
tho angel Of death camo to that dwell
Ing she was there to robe the departed
for the burial.
We had often heard her, when leading
family prayers in the absence of my
father, say: 20 Lord, I ask not for my
children wealth or honor, but I do ask
that they may nil be tho subjects of Thy
comforting gracer' Her eleven children
brought into the kingdom Of God, she
had but one moro wish, and that was
that she might see her long.absent mis-
sionary son, and when the ship from
China anchored in New York harbor,
and the long-absent one passed over the
threshold OF his p~aternal home, she said:
Now, Lord, lettest thou Thy servant
dnnart In nnarn fnr 4, n ., n 80 ,-,z

The prayer was soon answeredi
1t was an autumnal day when we
gathered from afar. and found only tho
house from which the soul had ficd
forever. She looked very natural. tho
hands very much as when they wero
employed In kindness for tho children.
Whatever else we forget we never for
get the look of mothers hands AS NO
stood by tho casket we could not help
but say: Doesn't she look beautiful?''
1t was n cloudlcssday when, with hoavY
hearts, we carried her out to the last
resting-plnco. Tho withercd leaves
crumbled under hoof and wheel as We
passed, and tho sun shcne on tho Rar;-

AN INDIAN FIGHT.
Ghost Dancers and Anti Messiah Reds
Slaughter Each Other.

Ghost Dancers and Anti Messiah Reds
Slaughter Each Other. ,
VALENTINE, Neb., Nov. 21.-The Ghost
Dancers and anti-Messiah reds were in
collision 90 miles from Pine Ridge. The
row seems to have been desperate.
Two runners reached Nashville with
the news that during the fight between
90 and go Indians were killed. These
runners were unable to give details, how
ever, and the probability is that the above
number may represent the number in
jured. Indians do not usually slaughter
each other under such circumstances.
Acknowledgement Dollard of South
Dakota had heard the rumor of the fight
and the killing, but he could not con-
firm it.
Longpipe, he said, was full of refugees.
At rough estimate, / 200 men, women
and children have fad from the country
north of the railroad and about the Pine
Ridge Agency. Every freight train that
stopped at the small side tracks west of
here was besieged by people demanding
to be carried East. The entire country is
thoroughly aroused, and everybody who
can get away is doing SO.

General Miles TelegraPhs the War Do
partment that There Are Signs of an
Uprlsing-The Ghost Dancers Working
for an Outbreak-General Brooke Ar
rIvss on the Scene After a Heavy March.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Secretary Proc
tor and General Schofield have been in
receipt to-day of many dispatches from
General Miles indicating that the In
dams at Rosebud and Pine Ridge agen-
cies are still giving signs of an uprising
Though the War Department doubts very
much that a revolt will occur, orders
have been issued for the concentration of
troops at the two agencies mentioned,
and the utmost care is to be taken that
the white settlers shall be protected.
General McKeever said to-day that the
Government would within the next "a
hours have troops enough upon the
scene to suppress any outbreak.
Just after noon General Miles tele-
graphed that the ghost dancers at the
Rosebud Agency had left the reservation
and visited the Pine Ridge Agency, where
they were doing their utmost to provoke
an uprising. He also stated that the In
dian agent at this point had been com
PEELED to abandon his post on account OF
the hostile attitude of the Sioux. He
added that more troops have been ordered
to Pine Ridge, and he believed the force
available would be sufficient to quell
any rebellion.

Mackintoshes in stock and can fit any

you can select from, it will not take
long to make it, when it is done it will

a great many of them) to the big fam

SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH.

They Suffer Terribly from Cold on Their
Way to Pine Ridge Agency.
PINE RIDGE, S. D., Nov. 21.-General
Brooke and the military, numbering a
few less than 400, arrived at Pine Ridge
Agency at u. m. after the toughest
forced marche ever experienced by the
Oldest members of the command.
The troops suffered terribly from the
cold during the march of 25 miles, which
was begun at 10 o'clock. The roads are
so rough that several wagons were over
turned on the way, and a teamster named
Burke, from Fort Omaha, was buried
under one of them, his hip being broken.
Many long delays were caused by such
accidents. There were no hostiles to
meet the soldiers when they arrived at
the agency, and they at once went into
camp on a plateau commanding the en-
tire valley.
Jack Red Cloud and lot of the fanatics
were at Wounded Knee, % miles away,
putting the finishing touches on a four
days ghost dance.
The Indian police have all resumed
their duty. There are seldom any In
dams about the agency excepting on issue
days, consequently there is a lack of hos
tiles about the post, most all of them
being down on the reservation at the
various villages, where they are holding
their horses in defiance of the orders OF
the agent. The next issue day is Monday.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 21.-fhe Flour
City National Bank officials had a sur-
prise sprung upon them shortly after
opening for business. A letter from the
National Banb. of Commerce in New York
city was received announcing that $50, 600
han been sent by express, Casper tele-
graphic order.''
AS the bank had not sent anysorder OF
the kind, there was the hvelies6 kind OF
hustling to fipd out who had peEpetrated
the fraud. A clerk was sent I'd the ex-
press Office, where it was ascertained that
at 8 o'clock enc Moses S. Marks, formerly
an attache Of the bank, had called and
received the money in $40 and $40 bills.
Inquiry established the fact that Marks
had wired for the money yesterday, sign:
ing Cashier William A. Waters names to
the message. The Bank of Commerce
sent the money without hesitation, as it
is the New York agent for the Rochester
bank. -
Marks disappeared with the doodle
He is a young man who has hitherto
borne an excellent reputation, and the
express people, believing him still to be
still connected with tie bank, handed
him over the money at once, as he was
well known to them.

ntshed stock Of war stories, saws the
Memphis Democrat. At the hotels
many were gathered in one cozy room
and group was seated spinning yarn
after yarn.
One gray-haired veteran, who lost a
limb at Shiloh, had caught the attention
for moment and broke out:
"You fellows that were not in my di-
vision missed half the good fighting;
and speaking Of heavy fighting reminds
me of the time was taught the best
lesson of my life. The great moral Of
that lesson was: Don't complain about
your bread and butter
II was a long, lank soldier, with an
appetite like a cotton gin, and during
the several weeks we were behind the
entrenchments had to tighten my belt
an inch each day.
"Rations were short, and the boys on
our line set up a general howl. I
went up to the commissary sergeant one
day and facetiously asked him for some
chicken broth.
HE looked at me gravely a moment,
and then, reaching his arm down into a
barrel, pulled out piece of hard-taclS
and handed it to me, with this curt re-
mark: MY dear boy, your appetite's big
ger than your belly
IL Tapped my well-tried teeth over
the rough morsel, but could only make
dent in 1t. Then looking reproachful-
ly at the sergeant I stored it away in the
breast pocket of my coat and returned to
duty,
1.-THE next day marked incessant fir
ing upon the part of the line pitted
against us, and later in the day we made
grand charge. In the midst Of the
roar of battle l forgot all tc1aerity and
rushed madly on with the rest Of the
boys. Suddenly l received = terrific
blow in the breast, and found 'Yank'
had stuck a bayonet in my breast, but
! could feel no sharp pain. Imagine
my surprise when I saw that he could
not pull the weapon from the coat.
81 captured that fellow, and when the
battle was over 1 discovered that the
bayonet point had lodged in the tough
hard-tack, and had snapped as my assail-
ant tried to extricate 1t. Yes, sir, that
hard-tack saved my life, and kept it
for some time afterward.'
The other veterans in the group
smiled at this unusual recital, and one
of them asked him what he had done
with the hard-tack.
"Well. you see, replied the unabashed
relator, ''we got pretty hungry after
ward, and had to eat the darned stuff
after throwing the broken bayonet
away"
Then the veterans broke into loud
outlaws, and the man that told the yarn
admitted the fb by joining with them.

THE BARKER CRASH
Great Sympathy Expressed for
the Old Banking House.
THE ASSIGNMENT UNAVOIDABLE
The Liabilities Estimated at 100000
and Creditors Not Numerous.

Wharton Bankers Son-in-Law Appointed
Assignee-OmcialR Reports at Washing
ton Show an Improved Financial COndI-
-tiOn at Money CeDtres-Rumors About
the Union Pacific Road.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-The failure of
the well-known banking firm of Barker
Brothers was a surprise to the street.
The liabilities are said to be about So, 000,-
600 and the creditors are not numerous.
The firm consists of Wharton Barker,
Abram Barker and Joseph Wharton. Mr..
Wharton Barker is President of the
Finance Company. The firm also con-
trolls the Wharton Switch Company,
and gained neutrality-suspicious. some
time ago by the Chinese inter-telegraph-
ing banking scheme. They are also the
Philadelphia correspondents of the
Earrings, the great London bankers.
1t is said the failure was due to their in
ability to put acceptable collaterals with
the banks. They were largely interested
in outside ventures, which did not COM
mand a ready market.
The firm has of late been doing very
little business through the Stock Ex-
change. An assignment has been made
to Edward Mellor, who is the son-in-law
of Wharton Barker.
The names of the Investment Company
of Philadelphia, of which Wharton Bar
ton was a prominent director, and the
Finance Company of Pennsylvania, of
which he was the president, were con-
nected in various alarming ways with
the rumors succeeding the assignment,
but the reports were highly exaggerated
in all important particulars. The Finance
Company is, however, indirectly involved
A syndicate has agreed to advance ST.
DOC, 900 to protect it's obligations and no
further apprehension regarding its affairs
is felt.
Much sympathy is expressed for Abra-
ham Barker, the venerable head of the
firm, and many well-known men in all
kinds of business called on him to assure
him of their sympathy and esteem. Mr.
Barker was very much affected. He said
he thought it very hard after a business
career of SO years to be thus overwhelmed
by financial cyclone. During the past
few days he said he had devoted all his
time and financial ability to raising
money for the help of others, and VIII en-
his own time of need came those who
were indebted to the house failed to meet
their obligations, and suspension became
inevitable.

PAcIFYINe AN INEsRIATE.

POlItoness Was the Only Method by Which
He Could BE Reached.
This is what happened, according to
the New York Sun, on q Nostrand ave-
nue. horse-car in Brooklyn few nights
ago: An inebriated gentleman had
affixed himself to the rear platform and
was taking up the whole of it, swAying
and humping from side to side, threat
ening at times to tumble off, and ap-
pearing at other times to contemplate
full length launch down the aisle.
When few of the passengers had got
OF, the conductor took this passenger
by the arm and said: "There's room for
you now. Go in and sit down.
"I'll not go in and sit down."
"You are in everybody's way on the
platform"
"I'll shtay on the platform"
you'll either sit down or get Of"
"I'1l nayther do the wan nor the
other"
"I'll see about that" And stopping
the car the conductor summoned the
driver, and both Of them undertook the
ejectment of their obstreperous passen-
ger. He was a big fellow, and their
attack sobered him little, for no sooner
would they detach one Of his hands
from the rail than he would clutch it
with the other. The scufding and the
talk frightened the women and children
in the car, and every few moments the
intoxicated party would remark: when
buffers says they're goin' to pit me of I
like to see thin do 1t. Gwan now.
Chuck me off,"
At last, in disgust and despair, tho
conductor gave up the attempt and,
sending the driver forward. the journey
was resumed. When the car was under
way the unfortunate said 10 the con-
ductor: ttAv you had threated me like
gintleman and axed me 10 git' Oh, I'd
ha' got Off"
"Well, then, get en-"
"Say place"
please
'"Tha's all right. Shsop the cyar."
And, sure enough. when the horses were
refined in the inebriate dismounted.
As he rolled away into the darkness he
was heard TO comment on buffers as
says they're able to pit me OF, an
wouldn't they have foine time a-doin'

the great blessings which have been be-
slowed upon us, and those of our house
hold. This time last year old rookeries

out to us with an unspairing hand. We
are thankful to know that all our custom
ers have grown prosperous along with
ourselves and enjoyed the blessings OF
good health. We are thankful to know
that the death rate was low this year.
When you buy Chamber Suit or Stove,
VIC have some chance of selling you some
thing else: but when we sell coffin there
is no chance of selling that brother or sis
ter any more. They have gone to some
other planet to do their trading. We are
thankful for being the sole agents of the
Indianapolis Lounge Co. Their Lounges
are world renowned, and we hope that
every house in New Haven and Litchheld
counties will have one in this coming
year. We are thankful for having the
sole agency of the celebrated Quaker
Ranges. Your wife is always smiling
while she is working over Quaker Range.
They bring peace and comfort to every

thankful when we find in looking over the
