BOARD OF FREEHOLpERS.
The Business of the Session Frf-
0av

! Adys
The session of the Board of Free
holders Wednesday was the shortest
held in some time, and there was not
great deal of business done,
The Township Committee of Maurice
River presented the necessary papers
appointing q Freeholder to fill the
vacancy id the Board caused by the
death OF Sainuel L. Russell. The gen.
tleman appointed to fill the vacancy,
Is Henry d. Paullin, of Dorchester, a
Republican. Mr.. Paullin was present
and the Clerk gave him the oath Of
Office.
Mr.. Slough, of the Second ward.
presented a notice to the Board which
had been served upon him by the City
Recorder, ordering the Freeholders to
pave the walk over the South Avenue
bridge. The matter was considerably
discussed and the members of the
Board agreed that the county did not
own the walk over the bridge, nor any
property inside the street line, and a
motion to pave the walk was defeated
unanimously.
Mr.. Phoenix Cosier reported the
need of entire new wood work over
the iron bridge at the Landing, the
cost to be about 5000. The Board
agreed that he should proceed with
the work.
Mr.. Bacon, of Greenwich, at this
point arose and addressed the Board.
saying, "Mr. Director: 1t is with deep
regret and most profound SORROW that
rise to announce the death of col
league In this Board. For the first
time in my eleven years. membership
In the Board, has one of its members
been stricken by the hand of death.
Samuel Russell, young active and
useful member, has died; and to-day
we mourn the loss of one, whom we
had learned to respect, honor and love,
deem it fitting, Mr.. Director, and
would therefore move that commit
tee OF three be appointed to draw suit
able resolutions upon the death of our
esteemed friend and colleague, and
present them to this Board.n
The motion was unanimously passed
and the Director appointed Messrs.
Bacon, White and Richards. The res
olutions will be presented at the next
meeting of the Board.
After other unimportant business,
the Board adjourned to meet one
month hence-the second Wednesday
in December. This meeting is fixed
by law, and annually at this time a
Steward and Stewardess of the Aims

A SUNDAY FIRE.
Boys Playing with Matches Fire
the Barn of Wilbert
Brooks.

About half-past twelve o'clock Sum-
day afternoon, an alarm of fire was
turned In, and the department was
hurried out on the Shiloh pike, lust
west of the Central railroad, where
fire had been discovered in the barn
of Wilbert Brooks, the harness maker.
The barn was substantial building
rather small. and directly in the rear
of Mr.. Brooks house. A couple of
boys had been playing back of the
barn with matches, and had fired some
corn stalks, which soon spread to the
barn. An alarm was Immediately
turned in, and the neighbors began
saving the property in the barn, see.
ing Immediately that it was impossible
to extinguish the flames.
The horse and wagons, harness and
other barn utensils were quickly got
ten out and taken to place of safety,
and the fire then consumed the build
ing and hay. When the department
reached the scene, there was no chance
of saving the building, and the fire
spent itself when the structure had
been burned to the ground.
The building was insured in one of
the companies for which BENZ. Powell
is agent, and the insurance will be suf-
icient to cover the loss.
The alarm caused great crowd Of
people to gather, and hundreds went
out to the place where the fire oe-
CURED. For such long distance, the
department was on hand promptly.

Convention of the National Society.
The elderly gentleman attended the
session of the Society at its meeting

four years ago, when he was ninety
six years of age.
I'm religious views, DIR. Fithian has
always been a Presbyterian, and has
been liberal supporter as we'll as a
member of the Greenwich Presbyter-
ian Church, of which his father and
grand. father were elders. During his
entire life, the Doctor has been an ac-
tive worker in this historic church,
and a sketch of the church written by
him years ago, gives Its earliest history
as 100. This history was a most ad-
mirable one. and In its preparation
the venerable doctor bestowed the ut
most pains in gathering information
from all accessible sources. He has
lived for sixty years directly opposite
the building, which In 1885, he with
Thomas E. Hunt and Phillip Fithian,
as committee, built for the church.
For nearly fifty years he led the sing

can, coming from old line Whig stock,
his father having been a Whig during
the Revolution, and after the adoption
of the Constitution. Federalist. His
father served as member of both
Houses of the Legislature, and was
the first Sheriff In Cumberland county,
besides having sat as Common Pleas
Judge. DR.. Fithian was never partic-
ularly interested in politics, other than
faithfully voting his principles at every
election. 1t is a remarkable fact that
this aged physician has lived under
the administration Of every, President
the United States !, ever had, his
birth occurring during the second
term of the immortal Washington.

THE POST OFFICE.
Candidates Talked of to Succeed

Candidates Talked of to Succeed
MIR. Hewitt.
The Democrats having won their
victory, are already talking of the
changes to be made in the Offices of
the country. Local Democrats are
looking toward the Post Office with
especial envious eyes, and claim that
it will be rich berth for some good
Cleveland man. Early in the cam
paign it was declared that F. Nj.
Porch could have the Office, or name
the man, for sacrificing himself as a
candidate for Congress. But now it is
said that Mr.. Porch will not endeavor
to exercise any authority in the mat
ter.
There are other names mentioned
now ia connection with the office.
Whether authorized OR not is un-
known, but a prominent Democrat
this morning declared that the coming
Postmaster would be ex-Freeholder
Charles Fl. Pierson of East Commerce
street.
The change is not likely to be made
for year yet, as Mr.. Cleveland will
not take possession of the White
House until next March, and it is
probable that he will appoint his cab
met ministers, foreign ministers and
other important officers before he gets
down to the Bridgeton Post Office.
Whoever the new man is, and when
ever he takes charge he will find that
it will be difficult to give this city a
better Post Office administration than
the people at present enjoy.

Forcible Situation.

A boy selling peanuts had nc
measure. He sold eight for a cent,
but inquirers thought them dear and
did not buy. Later he said II give
for a cent as many as you can take up
into your hand" and this apparently
more liberal offer built up a lively
trade. The boy had discovered that
taking one person with another, the
average handful was less than eight.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW.
The Premiums Awarded by the
judges.

Owing to the storm, the Chrysan.
themum Show Wednesday was not az
we'll attended as might have been de.
sired; yet, quite a goodly number
braved the elements for the sake of
witnessing the beautiful display of ma
ture's gifts.
The work of assigning premiums
was accomplished, which, to the schol-
ars of the school at least, was very
important affair. The plants exhibited
by the scholars were all worthy OF
commendation, and each one may we'll
feel proud of their success the past
year. The first premium was award
ed to Miss Mary W. Hampton; the
second to Helen T. Reeves, third to
Miss Evelyn Hort, fourth, Helen L..
Janvier.
The work of the amateurs also de-
serves especial mention; not one ex.
hibitor in this department but that
has some plant or plants of especial
merit, and well worth more than a
passing notice; to Stacy w. Newcomb
was assigned the first premium, to
James bennington the second.
Among the local florists, best collec.
tlon OF plants, the premium was
awarded VIM. M. Henderson, of Ce-
darville; second to s. Edwards & Sons.
Richard Bagg, in his fine collection,
has some beautiful specimens of the
Lillian Bird" the best on exhibition;
also some magnificent seedlings. M.
Goodwin Il Co., also has a small but
beautiful variety.
There being but one collection of
cut sprays in vases, the exhibitor, Mr..
Henderson, received the award, as also
for cut carnations.
A number of other choice plants and
bulbs are on exhibition and for sale.
and the entire collection forms a most
beautiful appearance. which should be
viewed by both gas and daylight, in
order to get a fair idea of the various
colorings.
Near the centre of the room is a
splendid Seeding that the committee
purchased in Philadelphia. 1t is of
the Japanese variety, and was un-
known. The Seeding was purchased
by James ]. Reeves, Esq, and will be
named Mrs. Mary B. Reeves. 1t is a
beautiful flower.
Another, and one of the finest varie-
ties of chrysanthemum, is large yell
low one, brought here from German
town, and known as the Col. VIM. B.
Smith. The Mermaid is another new
one and very fine. Crotons are new,
and one of the managers says, are
readily sold.
The exhibition is in advance of that
of year ago, and the flowers are be-
ing readily sold
The judges who awarded the pre-
miums last week were DR.. and Mrs. G.
H. Dare, Mrs. J. A. Maxwell Mrs. Geo.
w. MCGOWAN and Miss Eva Seeley.
General satisfaction was felt over their
awards.

TO Indianapolis Alter
March 4.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Mr. Russell B.
Harrison, son of the President, was at
the Plaza Hotel to-day and saw Chair
man Carter. A reporter asked him
whether there was any truth in the
report that his father intended to live
in Boston after he retired from the
White House.
He stated the President would re-
turn to Indianapolis and pass the
remainder of his days among his assoc
iates and friends. He spoke of the
great family affliction and intimated
that his father was not disheartened
by the result of the election because
he could retire to quiet life now.

EDUCATIONAL.

The public schools of the United States
are going to make a splendid showing at
the worlds fair. The Roman Catholics
are also to have a national Catholic educa-
tiOnal exhibit, which will be notable feat
ure of the show. All Catholic schools and
institutes of learning are oonfessedly very
thorough. 1t would be well if every sect
of the Christian religion were to follow
the example of the Catholics and were to
illustrate the methods, while exhibiting
the products, of their schools and colleges.
The result could not be other than benefi-
cial to ALL while the extent of the fair
would be greatly enlarged and its value en-
hanced Certainly in such vast and
unique exhibition, which is intended to
illustrate the growth and the progress of
the civilization of the world, education
should hold no mean place, and the COOP
Grafton of all religious bodies is very ear
nestly to be desired.

A REVELATION.

The Homestead difficulty opened the
eyes of the southern congressman especi-
ally, Old Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
used to tell them, when he was alive, that
his constituents were workingmen, but
that they all had good homes, with piano
or an organ in the parlor. He contended
that protection brought them good wages
and that they lived as pleasantly as the
southern nabOb. Oates, of Alabama, chair
man Of the house committee that inYesti-
gated the Homestead trouble, told a New
York reporter: "The man who goes to
Homestead with an idea that he is going
to find a lot of ragged, half starved and ig-
norant strikers, will have a great surprise
before him. 1t is a revelation In the way
of community of workingmen. They are
men of thought and action and indepsnd-
ence. They have their homes, and the
skilled workmen earn from $65 to $275 per
month. The laborers get from 81 to $3.50
per day. 1t is not poverty stricken com
munity by any means"
The leader of the locked out men, Hugh
O'Donnell, told the congressional com
mlttee that his wages averaged $144 per
month, eight hours work day, under the
old scale, and that the proposed new scale
did not affect them That is, O'Donnell,
as a worker in the Homestead mill, earned
about 81 800 year-more than nine-tenths
of all the olergymen in this state earn
More than nine-tenths of all the teachers.
More than half Of all the lawyers. As
much as most of the farmers. Six
times as much as most of the ordinary
farm laborers. Yet even ODonneu was
not one of the best paid at Homestead. The
testimony showed that some of the work
men received $3.50 to $3.50 month-that is,
$1,000 to $500 yearl But O'Donnen was
not starved. He was paid S1,SOO a year,
and the scale he refused didn't cut him
down.
