| Last Friday near at Doe Run was instituted
Pendleton Lodge, No. -, A. F. & A. NJ
The ceIemonies were conducted by Rob-,
Brown, Dist. Deputy G. L. Pennington
! Fredericktown, Bismarck, Iron Mountain
Blackwell Libertyyille. Irondale, Potosf,
IrOnton, and other towns had deputations in
attendance-to the number of probably one
hundred. The principal officers installed
for the new lodge were: F. p. Graves, W.
NJ; a. j. Norwine, S. w; and DIR. finch,
J. w. During the day and evening work in
the third degree was eXemplIfied, and a
grand banquet followed. The Pennington
Glee Club rendered number of popular
| songs, and one Of the chief features of the
evening were ecitations-"H Hubby" and
"BobolInk''-by Miss Genevieve Fisher,
whose fame as an el0cutionist is established
throughout Southern Missouri. Her rendl-
ton of ''Bobolink" was most excellent and
captured the delighted auditors. The ban
quet concluded the days proceedings, and
the visitors departed for their honestly
rail, on horseback, in vehicles, or afoot,
where distance and opportunity rendered
the last named method of locomOtion desir-
able. All the>attendants from this neigh
borhood returned in safety, and express
themselves delighted with their trip and
experience.
The beer car last Sunday stood on the
side-tIack, closed, deserted and lonely
This was as it should have been, and the
officers of the county and township are en-
titled 10 the thanks of the community for the
extra vigilance they exercised, nipping the
shell-game and other proposed games of
fortune in the bud. 1t is to be regretted
that the resident saloon men of Pilot Knob
did not follow the enforced example of the
beer-car people: but we understand their
bar-roOms were wide open-from the side
doOrs-and that beer and whisky flowed
without stint or other let than the ability of
the thirsty to buy. This Is all wrong, and
must not be allowed to pass unnoticed or
unpublished. Pilot Knob is no more favored
by the law than in Ironton, or any other
town, aud the dignity of the law must be
indicated. II all saloon men were law
abiding, local option and other forms of
prohibition could never win the support and
men; but when the people are forced to
make a choice between it and an utter and
continued contempt of the laws regulating
the sale of liquors, they make the fur fly.
And don't you forget it, gentlemen saloon
keepers of Pilot Knob, if you don't work
speedy reform in this matter OF Sunday SELL
ing, your fur will fly.

Obituary.

Died. of pneumonia. at her home at De
Are, Mo-, May 14th, 1891, Mrs. MATILDA f.
wife of R. NJ. Omohundro.
| Deceased was born in Essex county, Va.
February ID, 1923, being 65 years, 2 month";
and % days of age. Mrs. Omohundro wa
converted early in life, united with the Bap
fist church, and lived consistent Christian
for over fifty years. She was noble Chris
tian woman universally beloved by all wht
knew her. In all the relations of life sht
was an exemplary, faithful Christian. She
was loved by her church and was ever true
and faithful to its vows. In social life she
was model of Christian refinement, grace
| and cultured womanhood; quiet unostenta'
| tious, her life was uniformly good and pure
| and was felt as a power only for good by al
who came in contact with her. | doubt il
any one ever heard word fall from her lip:
that could possibly do injury to another
Society was made purer, better and lifted te
higher plane by her presence and influ
ence. But it was in her home that hel
Christian character shone with brightes
lustre. She felt as every wife and mother
should feel, that her great work was in hel
home, to bless and keep her husband anC
children, and to make home pure and at.
tractive.
She leaves husband and five children te
mourn her loss. May they feel that theil
loss is her eternal gain, and may the life and
light of that wife and mother still be cher.
ished as q sacred memory among each OF
them, and guide them to that happy home
above. She was not only one of the main
pillars of our church, but contributed large
iy towards building it, and, thank God, she
lived to see the last dollar paid on it, which
freed it from debt.
The funeral services were conducted in
the Baptist church on the 10th by Rev. V. T.
Settle, our old pastor. assisted by Bro. Wat
son, our present pastor, after which her re-
mains were taken to Annapolis and laid be-
side her brother, Judge Jos. G. Clarkson,
who died last January, and who faced death
as calm as he did on the battlefelds of Vir-
ginia.
"But he has fought his last fight,
He has Won his last battle,
No sound can awaken him to glory again"
Now, Uncle Dick, as we all call you, you
are not left alone, God is with you, stand up
bravely, ever be waiting and ching, for
the time will soon come when she will beckon
you to come over to that bright home, and
you, dear children, who survive her, strive
to live so that when death shall call you that
you will be prepared to meet your mother
who has gone before you. May God help
each of you and your dear father to bear
your loss, is the prayer of ISAAC.

He Further Vigorously Defends the
 Committees Report and Replies to
 His Assailants.
 HARTFORD. Aug. 5.-Ex-Speaker Case publishes to-day letter in reply to re- cent article in the New Haven Palladium. All the explanations given, he says, are elusive and palter with the issue. My de- fence of the report confined itself to the exact limitations of the attack upon it in the open letter of MT. Harrison.
 The Palladium, MT. Case says, explains for one thing that MT. Harrison too has, tily claimed the attribute of eternal recti- tude for his newspaper-that really the Palladium is only occasionally eternalIy right, say once month for two months running, when MT. Harrison's knowledge inspires it's columns At other times it is in the hands of some victims of misin- formation, whose duty it is to have been imposed upon, whenever an inconvenient editorial is to be accounted for.
 It further explains that the answer in the quo warranto case, which MT. Harrison drew and sent into the conference as his own, was not his at all, but merely sort
 
 wins notes. To the unsophisticated mind this seems to say that MT. Harrison drew an answer which he believed to be radically untrue, and the effect of which, if success | ful, would be to consummate "a contempti- ble political robbery, but he did it simply | in a clerical way and disclaims all respon- | sibility therefor because he did it at the request of his client. This is doubtless the best explanation which the Palladium can | make. The haunting question is whether | it is better than no explanation at all About this there may be some difference of opinion, though I think not.
 MT. Case then demands that the root of | the whole matter be faced. What in a nutshell is the whole report. MT. Case then cites the committees finding, which l was, in short, that upon the face of the turns no person has 8 majority of the | votes, and that further probing could not be done, because the senate blocked the way. MT. Case challenges anyone to fair ly pronounce such a report as dishonest. On the returns they were required to re- port whether any person had a majority or not. They could not report majority without abandoning the proposition that the returns must show that votes returned | as rejected were legally rejected. The on ly other conclusion which the evidence supports-and it must support some con- clusion is that there was no legal choice. MT. Case further denies having obstruct- ed any settlement of the trouble, and as- serts that the action in the quo warranto case was submitted to General Merwin and approved by him.

TO REMAIN A YEAR MORE.

Compliment to n Faithful Pastor.
 On Tuesday evening the Rev., James Coote, the efficient and beloved pastor of Grace M. E. church, was highly compli- mented by receiving the unanimous invita- tion of a largely attended meeting of his official board to continue his pastoral rela- tions with the church for fourth year, beginning next April. This action is all the more timely and graceful as it comes 50 soon after the serious illness of all the members of MT. Coote's family, and is but one of very many tokens of the esteem and love entertained for them by their people, One hundred and twenty-five new mem bers have been received by MT. .Coote since the church was dedicated two years ago, besides number of probationers yet to be advanced to full connection.

Mrs. wtlcox,s Runsalow.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is expected back at her Short Beach summer home shortly, and the favored ones are looking forward to hop at the Bungalow. The ridiculous stories and descriptions of the Wilcox Bungalow in some of the New York papers prompt G. A. Reckard, the artist, under whose direction it was built, to give the only correct description. Robert Will COX, not his wife, built the house and bought the bluff on which it stands.
 The Bungalow is large, low, frame building, strongly framed with heavy timbers to resist the heavy storms. The roof is steep and relieved by dormer win dows and huge chimney. Wide verandas run along two sides of the house and one end overhangs the cliff on the east, under which splashes the waters of the sound.
 The rocks in front are a superb sight on a stormy day and the point is thronged when the surf runs high. Beautiful trees surround the back entrance and every natural beauty has been preserved as much as possible, even stairway in the cliff on the east way is met by the project ing veranda. Rugged stone steps lead to Guo lTOuU oOOl, Wu1Ch AS fcI1tdO1o O1u timer It is a "half door," opening half, or all as one pleases. It is one hundred and fifty years old and was picked up by MT. Reckard.
 The interior of the Bungalow is open in half to the rafters with stairway design ed by the artist, leading to spacious room up stairs to be used later as billiard room. The extreme heighth of the roof with windows worked by cords in the gables and dormers, makes the house with out exception, the coolest house on the shore.
 To provide against the chill autumn days huge fire place occupies one corner of the large front room and in the sides and under the great overhanging slab of g mantle are cuby and bottle holes, from whose cosy recesses smile costly old stem and mug and the punch bowl with Japa- nese devil in the bottom of it complete the picture of corner that Dickens could have "writ about"
 anese bell, and the desk bears, but not without grooming, an ink bottle weighing fifteen or twenty pounds and holding about quart of ink. The rooms are full of curios and decorations. Mrs. Wilcox's nest is the envy of the ladies. The bath room is equal to city room in it's ap- pointments, and in fact there has not been dissenting voice as to the Bungalows complete success. 'tThe walls don't wind or unwind" 1" but Mrs. Wilcox expects to unwind" many yarns and poems in her ideal home.

 BLANKv1LLE, N. H., August 5, 1891> Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I came to this quiet place flor a change" last Saturday. I have found itl It is not at all like New Haven.
 am stopping at the village tavern, which, much to my disgust, has all the "modern improvementsn-w water, electric lights and billiard table (upon which nobody plays as yet.) An immense barn capable of stabling hundred horses is building across the way. It is sided with iron painted and pointed" to imi- tate brick.
 The Amy murder at Hanover, four miles away, is an all-absorbing topic of conversation in the barroom, or rather office. Barrooms are not visible in New Hampshire.) ...-. ..
 As was reading the Boston paper Sun- day evening in the office, could not help listening to the conversation of three sturdy New Hampshire young men upon chief chi speaker speaker, "that Christie used 't to be be out walking and strollin' around nights with Amy till or 10 o'clock. I don't mean that there was anything out O character, or that she done anything i'm proper, but I kinder think as how she may have led him on, and then told him she didn't want him. Yeou know what mean. Lot O them city girls do it, ye know" "Yis," said one of the others, tFlirtin', they call it daown to Boston. But lord! them city girls don't think nothin' O bein' aout till 10 o'clock, ye know" t.Kinder seems," said the first, ''as if Christie want so sharp as her sister l might say. She oughter't ter stopped | when Amy hailed her." "Ye can't most ginerally alters tell what ye'd do under sech circumstances. Was sorter taken by surprise, ye know," rejoined the other. Talking with man chopping wood by the roadside, I announced my intention o1 walking over to see the 'murder spot" as they style it here. "Wall," says he, ssye'l want ter go armed. Tain't exactly safe or them back roads naow. Jest as likely as not Almy's skulkin' right round there naow, in some cave he's dug in the side hill"
 Passing house in the country last Sun. day afternoon the driver pointed it out as the scene of another dreadful murder. Il 1 is strange how crime crops out in these quiet country places.
 Seeing church opened I stopped and entered. An Episcopal clergyman wal | holding forth to congregation of some twenty-five people. The edifice was {
 Fsunicn meeting house." Except this little "mission," organized about year ago there is no church organization in the
 town. Not one-fourth of the population
 are church goers.
 Judging from the well kept houses here | and hereabouts farming must pay fairly | well. The land is evidently fertile. Corr | and oats seem to be the principal crops Hay is better than in Connecticut. There is sturdiness about New Hamp shire and Vermont men that I like. Why l is it that those who are born and raised il
 mountainous regions are more hardy ,mor'
 enterprising and more pushing than tn
 dwellers upon the plains and in low coun | tries?
 Will write you from the "murder spot
 tomorrow. RAMBLER.

The Market Comparatively Active During the Forenoon-Almost Com- pIete Stagnation in Prices in the Afternoon,

NEW YORK, August 5.
 Railroad bonds were @ little more active and followed closely the temper of the share list, be- ing, as rule, heavy in the forenoon and stronger later in the day, There were few marked move ments, however and no material declines. The Richmond Terminal sizes shot up per cent. to 90 and Reading seconds rose 1N to 3416. The trading reached a total of $611,0o0.
 The stock market was comparatively active during the forenoon, when all the business of importance was done and very dull in the after noon, with almost complete stagnation in prices. The market was narrow and less than ten stocks furnished the majority of the bushes done. The raids in the early portion of the day with the re- covery after the pressure was removed, were the occasion of the greater portion of the business of the day, but the final rally brought the figures up to respectable number. Prices continued to fiuctuate within narrow limits, with general up- ward tendency, throughout the afternoon, until in the last hour when the effort to cover assumed larger proportions The market finally closed quiet, but stronger, at the best prices of the day Closing prices:
