Thanks Mr.. Rovce.

We, the undersigned, hereby tender
to the Hon. (?) John O. Royce, our
most insincere thanks for the insult
offered to us individually, in the
write up of the "Nigger show" by
the methodist quire," as it appeared
in that great moral and religious y
sheet issued weekly from the truth
factory ~ in the basement of the
building corner Third and + streets,
and which is known to the public as
the Plillipsburg Dispatch
We are very grateful that our
church is held up in such hattel-
ing light to the gaze Of those who
we're not at the niger show, and who
have ne means of knowing that every
performance mentioned in the article
is falsehood and a SANDER on the
church. We cannot help but appre-
ciate the position in which our pastor
is placed, and words seem scarcely
adequate to express our thanks for
the insult offered to him. Surely
such kindness on the part of Mr.
Royce will no. soon be forgotten.

The peoples party members of the
house are giving their republican
brethren a taste of Tom Reedism.
The republicans object to the passage
of any measures, and hope by diIatory
motions to kill time. The populists
however do not propose to be ham
pered in this way, and yesterday
transacted business, regardless of
the republican protest. The major
ity should rule and should transact
public business without permitting
the minority to block legislation.

THE desperate poor of New York
fought fercelY Tuesday night for a
chance to obtain work at shoveling
snow from the streets. Contractor
Furman started out his wagons load
ed with shovels after 7 o'clock.
When the wagons appeared in the
street, there was rush of hungry,
desperate men toward them The
police we're summoned to half q
dozen different places in the streets
crossing Broadway below Fourteenth
street. The mobs were packed dem
sely around the supply wagons. The
men who had been in the front rank
had secured shovels and had them
torn from their hands. The weak
we're thrown from their places and
the strong forged by main strength
to the front.
In places the police were obliged to
draw clubs and dispense the frenzied

prettily attired in organdle over

After the ceremony the guests repaired

4 Magnetic Island.

Everybody has read stories of mys-
ferrous islands exercising an irresisti-
bic attraction on ships passing near
them These, Of course, are pure in
ventions; but there is an island named
Bornholm in the Baltic sea near the
coast of Denmark whose rocks, accord
Ing TO a Vienna journal, Der Stein der
Weisen, are so strongly magnetic that
they affect the compasses of passing
ships, even as far as nine miles away.
In this manner Bornholm may be said
TO turn vessels out of their course, since
an error of the compass needle may
cause a corresponding error in the
steering of a ship.

WILL In a GRAVE.
IL Was Found After Thirty Years IN
"a buried Family bible.

a Buried Family Bible.
After living in mans coffin for more
than 80 years a will has been eXhuHeu
nj Leavenworth. Ind, and its terms are
likely to increase a troublesome huga-
tion among the heirs of the man who
had the document buried with him, says
a local exchange.
Jacob Kissinger wassthe man. Inc
will was found by accident, because,
when Kissinger died, although the Will
was believed to have been made, nobody
could find it. So the heirs went TO law,
and have been at il for three decades.
A few days ago a dispute arose which
could be cleared up by the family Blple'
So the old grave was opened and the
Book taken out. 1t was in good state
of preservation, and when opened, TO
the surprise of everyone, disclosed the
old mans will.
BY the terms Of the document found
in the grave, the property of kissingen
was divided equally among five children,
one of them a resident of Germany and
born of Kissingen's first wife. Anu
this is where the new trouble begins.
None of the four American heirs ever
ard of the fathers first marriage, and
not one of them guessed that he had a
Brother in Europe.
The German heir. of course, has been
in ignorance, too, Of the existence of his
American brothers, and the property
and money bequeathed to him. If he
presses his claim now il is said that the
four brothers who live here will have
quite a hole made in their purses wher
they pay him what is his by his fathers
