THE EASTER REGISTER.
The Edition of Sunday Next Will BE a
Mammoth Newspaper.

The Edition of Sunday Next VIII be
Mammoth Newspaper.
The Easter number of the Sunday
Register will be issued next Sunday,
and will be the greatest newspaper ever
issued in this city, in point of general
popular interest. Easter will be the
predominating feature OF. the issue, and
many Illustrations and large proper
ton of the text will have more or less
close relation to that joyous time. But
while this festival of the Church will
afford the general motif of the number,
there will be the. usual large number
of miscellaneous features of popular
interest. and in addition all the news of
the city, of the neighborhood, of the
State, of the nation, and of the world.
In a word, although the number will
have great and distinctive literary
merit, the newspaper feature will not
only not be lost sight of, but will be
stronger than usual.
Buy the Easter Register Out next
Sunday.

At the Cathedral, This Morning, for the
Repose of the Soul of the Late Very Rev.
Father Parke.
Two years ago to-day occurred the
terrible disaster of the collapse of the
building on the northeast corner Of
Main street and the continuation OF
Thirteenth street causing the instant
death of Very Rev. II. f. Packe, Vicar
General of the diocese of Wheeling, and
of several others, including the tele-
graph boy with whom the reverend
gentleman was conversing at the time
of the accident. The details of the
catastrophe are fresh in the minds OF
our citizens. In that awful visitation
persisted a clergyman who was famil-
lar figure to our people and was beloved
by all without regard to race, color, or
creed by reason of his manly attributes,
his Astounding and yet unostentatious
charity, and his thorough goodness OF
heart Many Of the poor and the aflilct-
ed have had cause to rue that day OF his
sudden taking off His list of pension
ers was extensive; in fact all his life he
went about doing good.

Elm Grove seems TO be prolific Of train
jumpers. \ half dozen parties were ar
rested out there several days ago by De-
tective Shorts for jumping on B. * O..
freights. \ great deal of complaint has
been sent in to Is. &, o. headquarters about
the extensive practice of train jumping in
dulged in by Elm Grove citizens. Several
serious accidents have resulted from this
cause. The practice grew 10 such proper
lions that il seemed that almost the entire
population Of Elm Grove used the 3. & O.
freight line as a mode OF conveyance TO
and from the city. The =. & o. Company
were determined to stop this habit and so
instructed Detective Shorts. Shorts COM
menced the campaign by landing several In
ian a few days ago. Constable Anderson
was sent out yesterday and arrested five
more. Frank Brown. Sam Austin. John
Gibson and John Harris were arrested and
brought before Squire Fitzpatrick. Two OF
the defendants were given trial yesterday
and the others will be glTen hearing to-
day. Austin was fined s. and costs and in
default of payment was sent 10 jail for
ten davs. Browns case was dismissed.
peculiar fact was connected with this
case. 1t seems that it was Browns twin
brother Edward who was wanted and that
the defendant was arrested by mistake
owing 10 the fact that the brothers look
and dress alike and it Is a very difficult
matter TO distinguish each other. Brown
was accordingly relea:ed and Browns
brother will be looked after.
