une grele de coups ct une s6rie de

Your Masonic readers may remember
reading an article in your 1887 ed tion,
as to piece of cedar of Lebanon, presen-
ted to H. T. Eaton by Warren B. Bick-
ford, P. NJ, of Hiram Lodge, No. 10
Washington, D. G. Brother Bickford,
on Christmas, presented Bro. Eaton with
a gavel, made from piece of an apple
tree from Mount Vernon, Va, the home
of our illustrious brother, Gen. Geo.
Washington. In order that all Masons
in the Second Masonic District, together
with visiting brethren, may be able to
see this highly priced gaYel, it will be
used at the District meeting, Feb. 7th,
together with the piece of cedar, above
referred to. We brusb all brothers pras-
ent will inspect these two valuable pres
ents, as we doubt if any Lodge in the
country can produce either, certainly not

The community was saddened by the
intelligence of the sudden death (from
pneumonia) of Mrs. S. MaIsham. mother
of Mrs. H. r. Eaton, which occurred at
her home in Slingerlands, N. Y, January
10th. Mrs. Eaton was summoned by tel
egraph, but owing to an accident on the
B. & r. railway, was unable to reach
home until after her death. Mr.. and
Mrs. Marsham resided here some years
since, where they made many friends
who extend their heartfelt sympathy to
the afflicted. Nay the God in whom she
trusted be their comfort and support.

Mrs. Herbert K. Curtis of Rutland, on
her way to visit her mother, Mrs. Daniel
E. Purdy, was seriously injured in the
railroad accident Monday. We cOndense
from the Herald the following Particu-

NJ. was derailed between Gibson avenue
and Park street that afternoon, killing
one passenger. Edward L. Cobb of Wal
lingford, and injuring several others.
The train consisted of engine and tender,
combination smoking and baggage car,
day coach and Wagner drawing room car,
in the order mentioned. The engine
tipped half way over and the engineer
and fireman prepared to jump, but the
coupling between the first car and the
tender broke, and the engine went back
on the rails, and was stopped near Park
street. The three overturned cars in the
field 10 feet below the track and twice
that distance from it presented a terrible
appearance. They were all badly
wrecked, and the passengers-and fortu-
nately they were few-crawled out of the
debris as best they could. There were
from six to nine passengers only on the
train, several on board varying in their
statements of the number, and to this
circumstance alone is due the small loss

of life Edward l.. Cobb of Wallingford,
the only person killed, was hurled
through the window by the force of the
fall, and was when found, under the car,
horribly crushed. He must have died in
stantly. Mr.. Cobb was about fifty years
of age, and was travelling salesman for
Boston grocery firm, and a prominent
citizen of Wallingford. He leaves wild
ow and one daughter, Mrs. Stephen G.
Saunders of the same town. Mrs. Curtis
was found doubled up partly under the
car, but was removed without difficulty.
She had bad bruise on the back of her
neck, her wrist is badly cut and there are
fears of internal injury. She is also suf-
fering from the shock. Charles f. Clark,
who was the conductor of the train, was
considerably burned and otherwise in
jured, though not seriously George
Harrington of Troy, baggage man, was
badly injured in the hip and back. Thos.
Dormady of Troy bad cut on the
head. The conductor on the drawing
room and sleeping car, whose name is
Lewis Tunney, was hurt on the wrist and
back, but HE injuries are not ssrious
P. S. Carrigan of West Rutland had three
ribs broken, and his son was slightly in
jured. The cause of the accident is not
yet determined. Col. Bennett of Ben
nington, superintendent of the road,
said last evening that there appeared
little doubt that the rear car left the
track first and pulled the others off, and
the wheels left the iron at the frog, but
he did not know why. The wheels of
that car are considered the best made,
the frog at the switch is steel and of the
best construction, the car was inspected
at the station and was supposed to be in
perfect order and the track was consi-
dered in perfect condition.
The Conductor tells the Troy Telegram:
''The train was a solid vestibuled one of
three cars; buffet and baggage car in
front, a coach in the centre and the draw
ing room car "Nokomis" in the rear.
The last two cars were built for DIR.
Webb's Adirondack road but were pur-
chased by the Central Vermont. l was
in the coach at the time of the accident
and the sensations which 1 experienced
as we toppled over the embankment fif-
teen feet deep, and settled with crash
at the bottom, would be impossible for
me to describe. was not injured in the
least After we came to staRdstill and
had collected our senses, we commenced
to get the passengers out. We found
Mrs. Curtis under the car with her feet
sticking through window into the in
terrier. She was probably thrown
through the window and fortunately
there was sufficient depression in the
ground where she fell to keep the car
from resting on her. The poor woman's
nerves received terrible shock but other
wise she was but slightly injured and we
pulled her back into the car"
1.-THE condition of Mrs. Curtis is con-
sidered precarious, and her friends in
Bennington fear the worst.-ED.]

The assaults made upon Presi-
dent Harrison by the alleged civil service
reformers of the Democratic party are
about the meanest demonstrations of hy-
poerisy that we have ever heard of. The
pretense that Cleveland cares a rap for
civil service reform is sheer imposition,
rank and preposterous. His civil service
reform in his first term consisted in half
dozen cases, that were made conspicu-
GUS for as many Mugwump editors to
serve them as an excuse for groveling at
his feet. Adlai Stevenson, the Vice
President-elect, was the butcher of more
men in Office because they were honest
and capable Republicans than were ever
turned out of Office on account of their
political principles in the whole course
of the history of the government of the
nations of the earth, and he is to preside
in the Senate for that reason. He espe-
cially demoralized the postal service
with the bloody brutality of his parti-
sanism. Cleveland proposes to be more
bitterly than ever Democrat this time,
and the Tammany people and the Mug
wump leaders will roll together in the
dirt and shout for joy whatever he does,
so he ladies out the spoils soup hot and
free. His talk of types is insincere
If he cares anything for the civil service
reform idea, it is in shape that has not
been seriously before the people for bust
ness consideration. tits this: Cleveland
may be playing for two consecutive
terms. He has broken the Presidential
records and is just the man to get the
conceit in him of doing it again. The
excuse will be that two terms together
eight years straight are required to fill
the offices with Democrats and establish
them as a permanent British or Chinese
civil service reform army fortified in
place. e.-BrookLyn Standard Union.

NEWS AND NOTEs.


Union soldiers who fought there will
not relish the fact that the bill or mark
ing the battle lines at Gettysburg was
thrown over in the House last week bv
the fili6ustering of the Texas delegation.
1t will be good thing for the coun-
try If the reports of the growth of the
textile industry in 1892, summarized by
the Te1tite World, can be duplicated in
1896. The figures are likely to tell diff
ferent story then.

The jury to whom was committed the
charges against Hugh Dempsey of COM
plicity in poisoning the non-union men
working in the mills at Homestead last
summon, havo found him guilty Nobody
is surprised at the verdict, but still il is
most significant on account of Dempsey's
connection with the Knights of Labor.
Since the beginning of the trial the
branch with which he is connected has
reelected him to the position of Master
Workman. Unless they drop him now
the Knights practically endorse practices
as infamous as those of the Malta. They
can't afford to do it. Dempsey must be
turned down.
Slowly but surely the idea has gained
ground during those twelve years that

The School Management committee
of the Chicago Board of Education has
decided to urge that clay modelling be
dropped from among the studies in the
public schools. This decision is based
on the statement that the scholars have
no time to give to such special work
which is not Immediately educational.
This last would seem to be begging
of the question. 1t is the opinion of
many prominent educators that clay
modelling under competent teachers is q
means of valuable mental training. Per
haps the hitch at Chicago is in the quail
ty of the teachers.

Following closely other illustrious
men, James G.. Blaine passed to the bet
ter life at II o'clock to-day. His death
has not been unexpected for several
weeks, and yet it had been hoped that
his end be not just yet. Ex-Secretary
Blaine has for years been anotable figure
before the world. Placing the United
States first in his affections he was not
the statesman to commend himself par
ticularly to the favor of John Bull or
other rivals or JnIs great repuDnc, out
he was more than a match for them when
it came to diplomacy. Under Blaine the
United States came out first every time.
He was admired by the masses and the
enthuriasm of his name swept the coIn-
try, as none other, whenever he came up
for office. We have always felt it to
have been cruel fate that permitted the
ALTERATION of Dr.. Burchard to rob him
of the Presidency in 1884; or that con-
spired to give circumstances the oppor-
tunity to allow handful of Mugwumps
and Prohlbitionists to WELD the balance
of power in favor of Cleveland that year
either of the three classes of which
turned the scale. And yet Blaine show
ed the nobility of his greatness by y-pur-
suing the even tenor of his way, although
the disappointment and sense of injus-
tice at the hands of the people must
have been intense. He will be known in
history as one of the foremost men the
world has ever produced. His latest
policy of reciprocity with the South
American countries will yet be vindicated
even by his political enemies. The time
will come when the Democracy, always
years in the rear of the procession,
will be glad to extend reciprocity on the
lines marked outby the dead statesman
and staunch American, Blaine.
