Ed. HERALD 1T appears the opponents of
Mr.. Bogart wont allow the case to rest, even
after jury trial, and like Banquo's ghost
will not down. Your suggestion to allow the
matter to rest, together with your apparent
desire to sschew sensational news, is heartily
commended by citizens Of all classes
overheard q conversation between a repre-
sentative of the News by the name of
Fowler, 1 believe, and newspaper man
from Mahanoy City, which convnces me
that our people are being deceived in this
Bogart affair. From this conversation it is
learned that the News proposes to publish
the verbatum report Of the trial, and to
cover up its tracks and to avoid the just
charge of sensatonalism it will publish a
communication, in its issue this evening,
January 12, and sign it Protestant" where
in the HERALD will be criticised and its own
paper commended in the one and the same
breath. They will also make the claim, as a
bluff that number of Protestants demand
the publication of this testimony. The two
papers have also entered into a compact to
attack your paper, and at the same time to
defend one another from the charge of SEN
sAtionalism. So you can see the deep laid
scheme. I send you this for publication so
the public can see in advance the object to be
gained by these two responsible CD news
papers, in their you tickle me and I'll tickle
you" scheme. Just watch further develop
ments and see if I am not right.

Death From Tight Lacing.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Vain of her figure
and the small girth of her waist, Matilda
Barthoulot tightened day by day the
stays that bound her. One day, about a
year ago, something seemed to sink with
in her body. Then her sufferings began.
They ara now ended, and to day Matilda
lies suicide, having hanged herself to
the transom of her doorway.
1t was fear OF impending insanity, in
duced by tight lacing, that drove the girl
to kill herself. She suffered great deal,
and specialists told her the injury to her
spine was incurable.
Matilda took every precaution when
she decided to end her life, and wrote q
long letter to her father, mother and
sister, explaining her reasons for self-de-
struction. After writing this she care
fully knotted bit OF clothes line to the
transom, stepped on chair, adjusted the
moose, and then kicked the chair from
under her.
The girl lived with her father, Charles
Carthoulot, an engraver, at No G3l Park
avenue, Williamsburg. He discovered
her body, and cut it down. The ink of
the explanatory letter was hardly dry.
This letter reads in part:
'.Can ever forget the feelings when I
udo Oh Lldt ldLdl W dlSG auo LILY
feelings of horror when my spine sank
in Yes, my beloved ones, am in per-
feet misery, and have not one minutes
rest. I do look we'll but that means
nothing. My body, when I lay down, is
all sunk in, and the principal reason why
I cannot live. I cannot stand the least
clothing, and cannot rest no more like
other people. My sister, darling, be
careful that such fate never overtakes
you. God knows half the time did not
know what was doing. My great fault
was worrying too much, and that made
me 80 different from other people that
did not realize what could happen to me.
My whole system is affected. get
worse all the time. My eyes are getting
weaker, and if I lived longer think I
would 20 crazy. Oh, don't cry; don't
grieve. If you knew my misery you
would not want me to live day."
The father said that the sufferings of
his daughter were beyond description.
Her ribs and spine were so distorted by
the tightness Of her stays that she could
not more than breathe without greatest
discomfort, Her mother, who has been
insane for four years was taken on March
last to the Flatbush Asylum. Matilda
thought her fate was to be the same -

A Tribute Of Respect.

AT meeting of the Session of the Pres.
byterian Church of this city last Sunday
the following tribute OF respect to the
memory of the late Capt. w. S. Sharpe
was unanimously adopted:
After having been denied through
bodily infirmities for quite number of
years the privilege of attendance at the
sanctuary and active Christian service,
our brother, Capt. Vim s. Sharpe, on
Nov. 4th, 1896. entered upon that rest that
remaineth to the people Of God.
Hin was an unusually severe case Of in
tense suffering, yet he bore his Affections
an extreme nervous disorder-with for
titude which only Christian can display.
One Of his favorite expressions, when rack.
ed with pain, was, Tho. He slay me, vet
will trust in Him." Darkness of spirit
sometimes disturbed him at his un nwonted
and protracted sufferings, yet he ever turn
ed to the Word of God for his comfort, and
when the end came he died strong in the
faith.
Capt. Sharpe was, so long as his health
remained to him, very active Christian.
The prayer meeting seemed necessity to
his large business; and the surviving
members of his Sabbath School class can
testify to his faithfulness as q teacher.
He was ordained and installed an Elder
Feb. 25th, 1866, and so long as he could
attend the meetings of the Session he gave
the Church the benefit of bis practical
wisdom, and these counsels were missed
years before he passed away. But his
prayers and his aims have come up for
memor rial before God.
We, the Elders of this Church, desire to
place on record this testimonial to his
worth.-this expression of our appreciation
of him as brother, aad our sense of loss
in his removal from us. Also, we wish to
express to the tereaved wife and children
our sympathy with them in their loss,
together with the prayer that they may ali
at length reach that home into which We
confidently trust our departed brother has
entered through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Fire at HOnea Path.

A correspondent of the Columbia State
gives the following account of fire at
Honea Path on Friday, 122nd insr.: cat
o'clock this afternoon J. J. Mattison's
general merchandise store was discovered
to be on fire and our citizens went to
work with will to save the building, but
ell ellorts were in vain, as brisk west
wind was blowing and the flames were
rapidly spreading. AS soon as it was
evident that the building could not be
saved, the crowd began removing the
goods from the storo. Adjoining the
building was the postoflice and Callahan
& Co g store and !. B. Armstrong; Jew.
elry store, all of which were consumed.
"By heroic efforts the fire was at last
checked, thus saving a number of ware.
houses and probably the railroad depot
and M. B. NGcGees residence. The fire is
supposed to have started from defective
hue, as it was first discovered in the upper
story Of the building
"The loss on buildings is as follows: ]
R. Donald. 81 500; insurance S525. R. NJ
Shirley. $500; insurance $lC0 NJ. J. Brock
$500; fully covered hy insurance
Nearly all the goods were recovered
from the buildings, but the owners will
suffer heavy lose, as the goods were badly
damaged while being removed. Much
credit Ia due the colored citizens for theil
manly and noble work in helping to check
the flames. For while it seemed impos.
sible to save several adjoining buildings
but J hard work the flames were checked
che owners of the destroyed property
will rebuild at once"
