LAST OF THE SERIES.
Mrs. Richards Reviews the Writers Of the
Victorian Age.

Mrs. +. 7. Richards delivered the
last of the series of lectures on English
literature last evening at the residence
of Mrs. Thomas Dickson, on Wash
ington avenue. The lecturer gave
general review of the Victorian age,
from 1897 to 1865, dwelling upon the
characteristics of the period and the
;,ordinaIy mental activity dis
played, as well as the multiplication of
books, which was unprecedented.
The characteristics of the age We're
afterward given in detail, and among
those enumerated We're the originality,
variety and strength of poetical liter
ature; the extension and range of ro-
nance: the spread of historical litera-
ture; the broad extent of scientific writ
emulation of practical knowledge; the
influence of German literature on Eng
lish writers: the variety and depth of
periodical writing, which inaugurated
the dynasty of reviews and the num-
Der and prominence of women writer's,
who were no longer noticed by fine
words, due to courtesy, but received
their mead of praise by right rather
than favor.
The novels with q purpose" were
then discussed and the palm of the
age awarded to Charles Kingsley, upon
whose works Mrs. Richards passed q
warm eulogium.

AS soon as the lads feet touched the
pavement and before the Mortified mo-
little fellow attempted to bolt across
the track in front of the car and toward
the store. He miscalculated his own
effort and the speed Of the car, which
ran him down and ground him beneath
the board in front of the wheels. The
car traversed possibly forty or fifty
feet before Ii could be stopped.
The body rested between the wheels
and was scarcely recognizable the
head was crushed and stripped of flesh
and scalp on the right side. the trunk
twisted and hand and foot nearly
severed. Someone unwisely sent for the
father. who was suffered to view the
sickening sight.

w. Il. Purvis carried the mangled body
to the house, where it was laid upon a
bed to await the arrival of the coroner

Cantwell were found by Patrolman
Reese Jones in the dispatchers' Office on
Franklin avenue, and after being
granted a visit to the office of General

ployes has been long in the service of
the company and are considered compe-
tent and careful men.

the fatality and empaneled the follow
ing jury: NJ. NJ Evans w. a. Raub, +.
Il. Sprague, George r. Millet, August
Gerelie and John j. Kelley, who viewed
