Smart oficiated. The body was sent by
express on the , o'clock trian to WiscOn-
sin for burial. Mr.. Atwood was an Odd
Fellow and n delegation of Odd Fellows

There was a miniature geyser yester-
day morning about ten feet from the
water works pump. house aud over the big
main running from the pumps to the
Main street main, suggesting strongly
that something had happened. The
pumps were stopped, the water was shut
of and a gang of men was set to dig
ging. On dncovering the main it was
found that a pipe leading from the main
TO the electric light station had broken
short off. The small gate controlling
the supply to that branch was shut at
once and the pump resumed operations.
The water had to be shut of from the
whole town all the forenoon.

Work ut the Gun-ShOph.

1t was at one time feared that through
the apparent Indifference of Congress the
great gun shops of the navy located here
would be largely. if not completely. closed
On account of the lack of work. and there
was a prospect not SO long ago that many
prosperous mechanics would he thrown out
of employment and forced to leave Wash
ingtOn in search of livelihood elsewhere.
Happily this unfortunate possibility has
been averted. and now there is an imme-
date work on hand that will 2,nploy the
entire force for many months. # not for
several years. The Navy Department
should he thanked by the community for
the foresight displayed in so handling the
force during the months when The work
was slack, owing to the failure of appro-
priations. as to retain practically all the
hands. There We're times when il might
have been matter of economy to reduce
the force, but those in charge Of the plant
realized that this woIId result in a PARTIAL
dlspersement of one of the most efficient
corps of mechanical experts ever organized
In this country. and by various -xpetlients

The End of the World.

Ihlrty-three years ago German Baptist
minister named StangnOwski had a vision
that convinced him that the world would
come to an end September =, 1896. Tomor-
row Is that date and now in New
York city the few followers of the strange
faith founded upon this prophecy are pre-
pairing to ascend to the great joy that
awaits the true believers in the doc
trnes of the Christian Apostolic Church
This little band of millen!alists is led
by an enthTuiast from Germany. Stutzke
by name. who has persuaded many
of them to abandon all thought for their
material future and he has even preached
mothers into the belief that they are justi-
fed under the peculiar doctrine of their
sect iii leaving their little ones to the mis-
cradle fate that is supposed to await all
who do not prepare for the end The main
point of debate with the believers is whether
or not they will wear robes. 1t Is a long
time since there has been a genuine ascen-
sion day excitement and doubtless an I'M
pleasant experience awaits the few score of
enthusiasts who will assemble in Union
Square tomorrow morning.

The Police Court DefalcatiOn.

1t is indeed remarkable that the police
court finances should be so managed as to
permit deficit of over 5000 to be created
without suspicion being aroused. Williams
seems to have been trusted implicitly, al
though his familiars and some Of his su-
perior officers knew OF his loose habits and
his fondness for gaming. There appeared
to be no check upon him other than the
necessities of the police and firemen's relief
fund, which of course needed replenishing
from time to time from the moneys collect
ed by him, and occasionally tine accounts
were scrutinized by the District auditor,
but at such long intervals that pcculation
might easily be praeticed meanwhile Since
these were the only checks the collector
was practically free from surveillance, and
that he improved his opportunity to fill
his private purse from the public funds is
now evident. Perhaps this costly episode
will direct remedial attention 10 the entire
system of fiscal management at the lower
courts. Visitors to those tribunals can not
fail to be impressed with the unmethodical
haste and looseness with which these finan-
cial matters are managed. partly perhaps
through necessity but largely. it is to lie
feared through careless habits, and 1t is
no wonder that there has been a leakage
of serious proportions The Commissioners
and the police judges are engaged now in
making an Investigation into these meth
DDS that promises to secure the public
funds against future encroachments- 1t
should cover not only the specific duties CT
collection but also the entire mode of hand
ling the fines in every branch of the work.
There are several worthy objects supplied
with income from this source and they
should be protected by a prompt applca-
ton of sound business principles.
So far the position occupied by WILL
Jams is concerned certain remedial changes
at once suggest themselves. Appoint a
collector who is not employed TO perform
police duty. bond him to the maximum of
the funds ever to he held by him at one
time. and audit his accounts monthly.

Train Wreckinx

There are too Tany attempts at train
Wrecklng in this vicinity. A few weeks
ago irsinia roads We're attacked. and now
comes wcrd of an effort to derail an ex-
cuFslon train running to Bay Ridge Sunday.
Prompt punishment ought to follow the cap
tIre or the wretcEeS who thus seek to take
human life by wholesale. presumably for the
IurpGse of plumber. 1t is murder in the most
atrocious form when the attempt succeeds
There IS unfortunately an easy chance for
such dastardly work, for the average rail-
road line runs through so many varieties
OF territory. through woods. cuts and I'M
inhabited sections, that often the lack of
intelligence alone stands between the
wrecker and the accomplishment of his
purpose The railroad companies should
seek 10 afford a certain degree of additional
security to an already hazardous mode of
travel by organizing more perfect track
patrols, for IL can not be that all future
attempts to wreck trains made in this
vicinity Will fail as have those of recent
occurrence Doubtless the courts will
grant the most ample punishment to all
who are found thus engaged, and a few
executions of severe sentences would have
wholesome effect.

East and West.

II is to be regretted that Senator Teller,
who is always heard with respect and at
tention, appears to have Joined those men
bent upon giving to the present campaign
q sectional turn and Significance. He has
taken the stump at home, and repels with
warmth observations which, somewhere,
by somebody. have been made in deroga-
ton of the west. The effect of such a
speech at this time before a western audi
ence will necessarily be to fasten the OBJ
jectionable observations on the east, and
still further intiame the sectional spirit

II could not be otherwise. AS Speaker
Reed recently so eloquently stated, the
west Is the child of the east. The east has

brilliant men Of the days q native Of
Massachusetts,. All through the west the
blood of the east Is found, and found in the
high and useful places-in the pulpit. at the
bar, In Journalism. on the bench. in mining
enterprises, behind the counter and con-
trolling the transportation. How. then, Is
it possible for any thinking man In the east
whose words are worth repeating to speak
Of the west except in terms of praise? A
sighting word would be an affront to HIM
self.
1T the unthinking man is TO be quoted
and he Is not worth quoting anywhere-he
may be found In the west slurring the east
as In the east slurring the west. The cow
boy living In the saddle. and looking at life
through the loop of his lasso sets down
the east as tenderfoot and scorns the
creature, while the eastern dawdler, who
aHects foreign manners and customs, and
Is at best but a giIded loafer sets the west
down as cowboy and scOrns him. But
the cowboy no more represents the char
acter and courage and ability which have
made the west a splendid empire than the
effeminate aper in the east represents the
sturdy qualities from which the western
qualities are descended. The representa-
tive men of either section have every rea-
->opSSs
and do respect them. Any other feeling
would be discreditable to the party enter
tanning it,
III VIII be strange thing If the west in
THIS campaign should be arrayed at the
polls against the republican party. The
west In the matter of statehood owes every
thing to that party. 1t has been raised
trom territorial hindrances to the enjoy
nent of its present dignity and independ-
ence by the republican party. Mr. Teller
himself assisted in much of the work, and
mas made more than one successful cam
pafgn at home on the strength of the
party's record of friendship for the west.
And, more than that. every line of legisla-
ton favorable to silver as part of the cir
cuiating medium which has gone upon the
books in the last twenty years has been
placed there by republican votes
Truly. the present is in every way an ex-
traordlnary campaign. Alliances of the
s'rangest character are formed Men who
IN the past have fought each other on the
hlghest and grayest of public issues are
now touching shoulders, some for and
o'hers against silver. and ready to part
company and turn upon each other again
as soon as the silver question is settled.
