THREATS OF f RIOT.
Street Railway Trouble in Philadelphia
 Breaks Out AfrCsh.

l
 Breaks Out Afrcsh.
 Philadelphia, Dec 25-The street railway trouble broke out afresh to-day on the Girard avenue branch, and as a consequence no cars are running on that line.
 The men claim that the division su- p-rintendent. in sending out cars this morning, gave preference to the new men, The old men stood around and saw nearly all the cars going out with imported motormen and conductors and finally they started a revolt, Distinctions were piled on the tracks and threats were made of riot if at tempts were made to remove them. A squad of mounted police was called for, and the scene of the trouble was soon surrounded by a bowling mob of ten thousand people, who, however, did not molest the cars.
 The brick stable attached to the hand some residence of John Lowber Welsh, president of the Union Traction com pany, in Germantown, was burned to the ground this morning The fire is jt3elieved to be of incendiary origin.
 There is a bitter feeling against MT Welsh because of his attitude towards the strikers, and it is supposed that some sympathizers set fire to the stable in a spirit of revenge. The authorities are making an investigation.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. JAMIE NJ. MARKERT, eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. GEO. NJ.
GRAFTON, was born in Edgetield Coun-
ty S. G. Oct. 10Th, 1872. Left father
less while quite young she grew up
under the care of pious mother. She
developed a bright, intelligent mind,
and early in life embraced religion,
united with Dothan Nj. E. Church, of
which she remained consistent men,
Der until her death.
The writer of this imperfect trib-
ute knew sweet JAMIE from her In
fancy, and more amiable, dutiful
daughter, and loving sister, I have
never known. And after the death OF
her mother, she gave a mothers care,
to her sisters and brother, and how
we'll she filled her place, their aching
hearts give evidence. During her short
married life, she was the idol of fond
husband, and after the birth of her
child, consumption laid its blightyiEg
hand upon her, and she faded swiftly
away. The tender and loving care of
ner husband, and devoted sisters,
was powerless to stay the step of the
black winged angel of death. All that
love could suggest was tried, but in
vain! Death loves q shining mark,
and this beautiful woman, lovely in
face, still more lovely in character,
of amiable disposition, and above all,
a follower of the Saviour, was indeed
a shining mark, for his fatal arrow.
All who knew her loved her. Her hand
was ever ready to help the poor and
sick, and she was always thoughtful
of others. She did not complain, but
bore her suffering with patience,
and resignation to God with no fear
Of death. She was so young to die,
when life seemed so fair, and sweet
to her. On the morning of Feb. 10th
1895, "God touched her with his fin
ger and she slept" He doeth all things
for the best, and though their hearts
bleed, and nature shrinks, let her low
ed ones look up, and see the silver lin
ing to the dark cloud of sorrow, for,
ale giveth his beloved Sleep" She was
laid to rest in snow storm, and as
watched the falling flakes, thought,
(though sad,) how appropriate IL
seemed, and emblematic, of the pure
and beautiful life of her, who sleeps
beneath its mantle. She has heard the
welcome plaudit, "enter thou into the
Joy of thy Lord" Let us follow her
good example, and at our last hour we
too, shall enter into Heavens eternal
rest.

HARPER's WEEKLY is pictorial his
tory of the times. 1t presents every
important event promptly, accurately,
and exhaustively in illustration and
descriptive text of the highest order.
The matter in which, during 1894, it
has treated the Chicago Railway
Strikes and the China-Japanese War,
and the amount of light it was able to
throw on Korea the instant attention
was directed to that little-known
country, are examples of its almost
boundless resources. Julian Ralph, the
distinguished writer and correspond
ent, has been sent to the seat of war,
and there joined by c. D. Weldon, the
well-known American artist, now for
many years resident in Japan, who has
beer engaged to cooperate with Mr..
Ralph in sending to HARPER's WEEKLY
exclusive information and illustration.
During 1895 every vital question
will be discussed with vigor and with
out prejudice in the editorial columns,
and also in special articles by the high
est authorities in each department..
Portraits of the men and women who
are making history, and powerful and
caustic political cartoons, will continue
to be characteristic features. This
Busy World, with its keen and kindly
comment on the lesser doings of the
day, will remain regular department..
Fiction. There will be two powerful
serials, both handsomely illustrated

of olden days by StanleYJ. 'Weymar,

Make O Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce
people to keep track of their bright
ideas we offer a prize of one hun
dred dollars to be paid on the first
of every month to the person who
submits to us the most meritorious
invention during the preceding
month. We will also advertise
the invention free of charge in the
National Recorder" a weekly
newspaper, published in Washing
ton, D. c., which has all extensive
circulation throughout the United
States and is devoted to the inter-
ests of inventors.
Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent
something strikes most people as
being very difficult; this delusion
the Company wishes to dispel. 1t
is the simple things and small in
ventions that make the greatest
amount of money, and the complex
ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or
another, conceives an idea, which,
if patented, would probably be
worth to him a fortune. Unfortu-
nately such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought. The SIM
pie inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and
down without breaking the pas
senger's back, the sauce pan, the
collar button, the nut lock, the
bottle stopper, the snow shovel,
are things that almost everyone
sees some way of improving upon,
and it is these kind of inventions
that bring the greatest returns to
the author.
The prize we offer will be paid
at the eud of each month, whether
the application has been acted
; unon by the Patent Office or not.
Every competition must apply for
patent OH his invention through
US, and whether he secures the
prize or not, the inventor will have
a valuable present.
