Although they had been go intimate at home
there was little in the life they were to lead
here to hold the two men together. unless the
stronger Mr.. Hill bachelor and lived at
a hotel He rarely went out in the evening
He kept staff OF clerks and worked all the
time either in keeping up with his Senatorial
duties or with his partys management in New
York He never appeared in the public dining
room OF his hotel because ne considered the
time wasted there in waiting for meals. He
had a small table spread in his own apartments
so that he could 20 on with his work while
dispatching the rcpast. II was nothing unusual
for visitors to find him at table debating to a
stenographer while industriousy plying knife
and fork And during the Senate's sessions he
was usually in the thick Of the fray, and meas
uring swords as often with men on his own as
on the other side Of the chamber. Mr.. Murphy.
on the other hand, being man OF family was
called upon to take life more leisurely. Be
sides. il comported with his nature to do so.
He established himself with his family IN
fine roomy mansion and entered into the social
life OF the town. He struck a slow and com
Portable gait He never hurried There did
not indeed seem to be much for him TO do.
He must have see. as everybody else did, that
the Senate was not the place for him. The
work was such as ne had never before under
taken He was not a student. lie knew moth
ing about law He no speaker. He could
not hope 10 participate in any Of the debates
no matter how interesting they might become
or how materially they might affect New -Yorks
Interests And SO he attended committee
meetings and voted there. attended the Senates
sess ions and voted there. and that comprised
his whole Senatorial activity. Meanwhile ms
colleague was living the Hfc Of a political
ascctic studying. sohcming, writing and speak
ing and in a wOrd. doing everything that
properly befell a NeW-York man to do. The
firm name was Hill d co. The silent partner
did not count. Except by his vote ne was un
known. II there was work TO be done, "A speech
10 be made or a conference TO be held in New
Yorks interests Mr.. Hill came forward az the
States representative Mr.. Murphy in those
fields was all but helpless He could not have
liked the situation and II shortly became ap-
parcnt that he did not.

Although there were reports TO mat erect
there was never a violent quarrel between Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Murphy. They always remained
on speaking terms. They were very frank with
each other at times. Both expressed themselves
with some freedom But II Murphy and
"Hill'' as Of old and after time they returned
to something Of their former intimacy. But the
Washington life had revealed the two men to
each other, each in his true proportions and
the old relations in their entirety were now i'm
possible. Mr. Murphy saw Mr.. Hill wrestler
in the Senate with the pick of that body, anu
Mr.. Hill Mr.. Murphy a helpless looker-on
And no soothing touch was administered to the
situation when upon Mr. IIls defeat for re-
election people talked very freely about the
hard luck Of the New-York Democracy in losing
from such "A body a man who had many qualiii-
cations for service in il and retaining one VINO

this time, too. as to what is 10 become Of Mr..
Murphy in case OF his reelection. When he
drew away from Mr.. Hill he attached himself
to Mr.. German, and has ever since been among
Mr. Germans followers. But the Maryland
Senator, like others, has felt the rough hand
OF defeat and is about to retire 20 private life.
His term Will expire on March next. II Mr..
Murphy returns to the Senate he will find his
old leader gone and a number of new faces ON

Another Landmark Gone.

The tall spire of the Baptist church, which
has been prominent landmark in approach
ing the city since 1870 is being taken down.
The church was remodeled in 1869 10. at a
cost of about So 900, and this spire was erect
ed. 1t stood l59 feet high and as surmount-
ed by a cross s feet high. OF late the spire
has become weak and the assessors decided
to take it down. The job was let to Sanford
Howard, who began work last week. After
stripping off some of the outside boarding as
high up as men could work inside line was
put around the spire and pushed up as far
as possible. This line was led to the op-
posite side of the street and made fast
At this stage of the work Thursday night
a rain came on and continued to Saturday
night and some fear was experienced that
the shrinking of the line from the wet might
pull the spire over. 1t stood the test, how
ever, and Mr.. Howard resumed work Mon
day morning. He first went up inside the
spire and sawed off the upright timbers,
which were eight in number Of Axe spruce
cutting them u feet below the base of the
cross. When all was ready the street was
| cleared OF travel and crew of men pull
ed at the rope which led to the spire. At
about o'clock the top of the spire with the
cross attached pitched forward into the street
below. There was no turning of the spire in
the air, but it toppled over and came strai chit
down, alighting on the head of the cross in
the gutter close to the sidewalk. When the
cross fell over upon its side it broke one or
more panhs in the sidewalk. While most
of the ti1nbers in the framework We're sound
weak spots We're occasionally found
and the cap of the spre where it united
| with the cross was IN bad condition. The
| cap was circular, about feet in diameter,
and upon it rested similar cap at the base
| of the cross. The spikes by which these
| caps We're fastened together had rotted off,
| through the cap and formed the upright of
the cross was completely rotted away at the
| point of the iuncture, and could be picked
apart with the fingers. Those who saw this
| part OF the spire wonder how it could have
withstood the high winds at that elevation
| and not toppled over long ago. The work of
| taking down the remainder of the spire Will
! be continued as weather permits. 1t is being
| taken apart and sent down piece by piece,
| The top of the belfry will be neatly finished
and it is estimated that the cost of taking
down the spire and making the necessary re-
pairs in connection with it will cost about
$780, and the money will be furnished by
| the Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor.

FISH AND GAME. The open season on
partridges began Sept. 20th Many hunt
ers who have been out after woodcock
since the first of September tell conflict
ing stories as to whether the partridges
are to De plenty this year. Some report
that they have started large hocks, and
others say that they have started none at
all. The fact is that at this season of the
year the focks have not broken up, and
one who comes upon a flock starts so
many birds that he is likely to get the i'm
preston that they are plenty. On the
other hand one may go through a woods
in which there were several f1ocks with
out starting any of them, The birds are
1t present found in the lowlands and pas
lures. Later when the tlocks have broken
up they seek the higher land and thicker
woods. .... The fish and game commission
erS have made the allotments of the fish
from the different hatcheries to the places
where they have been as Led for and where
they are entitled to go, They have had
thus far this year 125 applications for fry
to put into waters in all parts of the State.
..... The influx of sportsmen has begun in
earnest and every train into Aroostook
carries its load of hunters in backwoods
togs designed and fitted 10y Boston and
New Y York tailors. Deer are reported in
great numbers all along the line Of the
Bangor and Aroostook line.... The Dam
ariscotta Herald reports that Fish Warden
Hanna has been on service in Casco bay
20 days and in that time has captured 20
vioatoIs of the lobster law the aggregate
fines amounting to s.. 500.

DonnellY says that for the first time
in history the party controlling the
has carried the coun-
try and secured control of the house
at the election occurring in the mid
die Of the presidential term, Don
nelly seems TO be about as lame on his
history as on his politics. It is the
first time the feat has been accom-
plished in nearly generation, but at
the congressional election in 1870,
during Grants first term, the Re.
punlicans elected the house, and if
memory serves us right, the house
had also been continuously Republi-
can since 1860 Donuelly would do
well to brush up little on history.
