ments by which the Philadelphia and
Reading road through its leased line the
Lehigh Valley, will hereafter use the
Great Northern as an outlet to the Pacific

been consolidated.
The railroads have already commenced

cliDed.

bany car shops a week ago the largest
locomotive in the United States. The

nue., committed suicide Saturday after
noon in Room No. 20 of the International
Hotel. Park Row, New York, by shooting
himself in the right temple with thirty
eight calibre revolver. Trested's mind
has been unbalanced Ior some time past
and this, together with the disgrace of
having been arrested for criminalIy as
saulting ten year old Lottie Adler, drove
him to suicide.
That Mr.. Irested was much affected by
his arrest for such crime is shown by a
letter written by him short time before
he took his life. The letter which was
found in his pockets read as follows
AsroR HOUSE. Sept "a, 1892.

tional Hotel Saturday afternoon as e. II.
1res ed, PhiIadelphia, Pa. He was as
signed to room No. 20. at the dinner
hour a hall servant knocked at his door

clutched in his right hand and blood
oozing from an ugly wound In his head
DIR. Cantwell was at once summoned
The door was forced open and the doctor
reported that the man had been dead
from ten to fifteen hours. There was
every indication that the suicide had
been committed after due deliberation and
preparation. The letter of explanation
and businets card had been placed on q
bureau. Trested had washed his face
and hands before ending his life.
Mr.. Trested was sixty five years old. He

Charles ormsby. of No. $50 News


Charles Ormsby, of No. $50 Newark
avenue. a few days ago succeeded in
making record for himself as
one of the biggest Ioafers in
this city. He was on a horse car. There
was no vacant seat and he was compelled
to stand. A ten-year-old girl was also
standing.
After they had ridden short distance,
a passenger got up and the child sat
down. Ormsby demanded the seat
from the girl. A lady sitting next
to her refused to permit the
fellow to deprive che child of her seat,
and Ormsby then became insulting. He
made faces" at the lady and an
moved her greatly. Finally when the
woman got off the car, Ormsby
clutched her by the throat and choked.
her. He was arrested and today had an
examination before Justice Davis, whe
held him in 500 bail for the action OF the
Grand Jury.

Their Relation to the Present Style of
Interior Decoration.
To keep pace with the progress made in the
interior decoration of dwellings, the carpet
manufacturer has been obliged to produce
floor covering whose delicacy of tone, artistic
design and harmony of colorings, would form a
suitable background for the present style of
wall decorations, and the material covered fur

Visiting the large and well-known carpet
establishment of Messrs. John and James Dob
son, New York City, we were shown some of the
choicest productions of their looms The pre-

every degree of conception and color. and in the

the West Bergen Battery and League No.
2. Two bands furnished music. After
the parade was over the marchers stopped
in front OF headquarters, and a shower of
Roman candles and the, explosion of noisy
bombs attracted number of people to the
place. The most Of them were apparently
women on their way to Newark avenue to
do the regular Saturday night shopping.
The master of ceremonies was John
Anness, President of League No. 2.
When the banner was stretched across
the street the prevalent enthusiasm
found vent in a feeble cheer, and then
President Anness, after making few re-
marks, introduced Alderman Max Sal
niger, who made speech What he said
will remain forever a mystery, tor the
audience grew noisy, and his words were
heard with difficulty. Colonel Fair
mount, a veteran of the Ninety-sixtn,
New York Volunteers. succeeded Salinger
and made the speech of the evening.
When he had finished, the members Of
the visiting clubs were invited to take
some refreshments, and with one accord
sandwiches and two and one-half barrels
of lager Then they went home. or at
least started in that direction.

There are q number of persons who like

tensibly to hire for different departments
of household work marry bsfare they learn

not hire in families at all, or rarely. The
Chinese is really then tho only reliable do

very hard on us who have lnbored through

our lives to be forced to depend Upon tho
totally unreliable labor referred to. We

THE president has approved the bill
providing for the establishment OF a
military post at Helena and the fort is q
fixed fact. Under the provisions OF the
act the appropriation becomes available
as soon as the land necessary for the
site passes into the possession q the
government. The secretary Of war
doubtless will designate a force OF Of
icers to select the ground in a very
short time and if our citizens do their
part in securing necessary %tranfers Of
lands, work can begin this summer.
Some Of the buildings ought to be com
pleted before winter sets il if there is
no delay in getting the site. The ap-
preparation for the beginning OF the
work will be sufficient for the short
season in which outdoor operations can
be carried on, and BY the time work is
resumed next spring congress undoubt-
eddy will have appropriated a further
sum. It will be many years before the
great fortress is finished, but it can be

Chairman Clarkson of the republican
