first one of the name was kidnapped in Eng

Mrs FRYE, wife of the senator from Maine;
Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of the senator from

ming, is woman of national fame and
long revolutionary lineage. She is con-
rected by marriage and ties of blood with
many of the noted historic families of
early New York and is a general favorfte
IN the exclusive society circles of New
York and Washington. Mrs. Manning is
woman who draws attention in any crowd
being of commanding, though slender fig-
ure She has the qualities of mind and
heart that attract, and the dignity of
presence that require instant attention and
respect. While the contest was spirited, no
bitterness remains, and the friends of the
rival candidates have shaken hands. 1t

long Withstand Mrs. Manning's charm of
mind and manner

Personal Sketches.
Mrs Albert D. Brockett, vice president
general in charge of organization, is serv-
ing her second term. She has a distin-
guished ancestry, but is so modest that she
does not care to exploit it. She makes an
efficient and faithful officer.
The first vice president general, Mrs. Rus
sell A. Alger wife of the Secretary of War,
is one of the most beautiful women in a
cabinet where there are many handsome
women. She has clear strain of fighting
blood from the revolutionary war to now.
Mrs. Martha Lydia Poland Thurston's s
American ancestry begins with a romance.
The Polands came to Massachusetts very
early in the history of the coicny. The
third and fourth generations of the Polands
are buried in North Brookfield. They were
instrumental in bringing about the educa-

section Of train No. Sc. of the c. & o.
railroad know that when their train
pulled out near Newark that the engt-
neer, jeremiah OIBrien, was cold in
death. The train was made up Of yell
low cars bound for New York, and was
a through train, the only stop sched-
ule being Prices, near Newark, where
water Is taken.
The train pulled up at the water
tower where IL is the custom of the
fireman to make the connections with
the tower. When the train had come
to a standstill, William Brady. the fire.
man, alighted from the cab and con-
nected the hose of the tower TO the
boiler of the engine. The necessary
quantity of water was taken on, and
the fireman stopped the flow of water
and climbed into the cab to throw off
the hose. This being done he took his
position in the cab and gave three pulls
to the bell. The engine did not start.
He turned TO see what the matter was
when the dead body Of the engineer
confronted him. He pulled at his
sleeve, thinking that he was asleep, but
jeremiah O'Brien had gone to his last
sleep.
The conductor ran to the cab to as
certain what was OBTAINING the train,
and the fireman pointed to the body OF
the engineer.
The body was carried to the baggage
coach and the fireman ran the train
into Wilmington, where Deputy CorO-
ner Chandler took charge of the body.
Death was due to paralysis of the
heart. No inquest will be held, as death
was natural. O'Brien had been in the
employ of the railroad for about forty
years, and was a close friend of Engi-
neer Speakman, who also died sudden
ly this week. His home is in Philadel-
phia. The body will be shipped there
