TIRES OF BEING MAYOR.
Van Wych, Chief Executive of New
York City, Would Like TO
Resign His Job.

Mayor Robert a. Van Wyck is really
tired of bis Office, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. To personal friend in taking
abou. it he SAID:
mo; I don't enjoy the position at all,
and shall be glad when am relieved
of it"
1t is not the first time he has made
this statement, and it is probably due
to this fact that the rumors have spread
that be intends reEigning.
"It is quite certain" said one of the
members of the Tammany organiza-
ton, that the organization does not
propose to allow the mayor TO get out at
present. 1t is too early IN the proceed
ing. l know that the original plan was
70 have Van Wyck serve out his term
us mayor and then TO give him fudge
ship, which would round out his polit-
ical career with honor and profit.
IF GuggeDheimer were tc be his sue
cessor for the full term there would
not be any objection, because there are
quite a number of men in the organiza-
ton who prefer Cuggenheimer's suave
manner to the brusqueness of Van
Wyck."

MEET AFTER MANY YEARS.
An interesting Remfniscence OF the
Late civil war nt n HnrtsviIIe,
Ind, Wedding.

There is a coed war story In connec-
ton with the life of Mrs. John Ander-
son, who died few days ago at uarts-
vile, Ind.
Mrs. Anderson's maiden name was
Frances Schofield, and at the beginning
of the late civil war she resided with
hei' parents at Cartersville, Ga. They
were northern sympathizers, and as this
was known they decided it was best
10 leave their southern home for the
north. Just before leaving, however,
u company of union soldiers passed
their home. One of them, who was
hungry, stopped and asked for some
thing to eat. The young woman took
from their lunch basket, which they
had prepared for the journey, a chicken
and some bread for the hungry soldier.
Years passed, but the act of Kindness
was never forgotten. After coming
north the young woman married john
.tnderson, aud they removed to this
county. A few years ago, however,
daughter of Mrs. Anderson was mar
ri.ed TO DR.. Fugate, whose father was
present at the wedding. The appear
ance of the elder Fugate brought to the
inird of Mrs Anderson her departure
from her southern home and the sol
der whom she had fed, but thinking
possibly II was only resemblance. said
nothing and dismissed the matter from
her mind. But during the evening,
however, in conversation with the wom-
ans husband, Mr.. Fugate related the
facts Of a weary march, and how
young girl fed him with chicken and
fresh bread when he was almost starved.
Mrs. Anderson overheard the story, and
au interesting reunion followed.

SEEKING A CHANGE.
Diamond Pants Company Contemplates
Removing to Cambridge.

In regard to the contemplated re-
moval of the Diamond Pants Company
from this city to Cambridge, the Daily
Sun says:
There was quite good represe nta-
tion of business men at the citizens
meeting at the Probate Court Room
last night. Mayor Luccock was chosen
chairman and q. P. Woodwork secre-
tary. Fl. E. Smith addressed the meet
ing and explained the situation. He
said that the Diamond Shirt and Pant
aloon company were seriously dam
aged by the late food; that the firm
had building in Marietta SSx1OO feet
and last season a brick building was
erected dn one side partially shutting
off the light and that o building was
now in course of erection on the other
side, which would entirely shut off the
light, and they were compelled to
move. The proprietors, Morris &
Pickering, were in the city yesterday
and met the committee of the Improve
ment Building and Loan company as
stated in last nights Sun. The gen.
tlemen went on to Columbus where
they have been invited to locate.
Mr.. Smith said that if the plant To-
Gated in this city it would employ at
least eighty.five people, most of whom
would be girls, who would make from
seventy cents to dollar day. Car
man, Smith & Co. made them a propo-
sition to put $40, 900 in the plant and
take $40 1000 per year of their product
if they would move to this city. This
firm is now handling their goods and
Mr.. Smith stated that they are very
satisfactory, and the best goods of the
kind they had ever handled. The
plant practically has no competition in
the state or country; they have been
in the business twelve years and their
success is assured. n
The firm stated they would not move
for less than $4,000, as the removal
will necessitate the training Of new
girls.

VANDERBILT Is PATRIOTIC.
William X. Leads the Singing of
Rousinx National Airs at a New
York Music Hall.

William K. Vanderbilt, millionaire
among ali the Vanderbilt nillionaires,
is patriotic, and is not aperse under any
circumstances to giving the love of
country voice. 1t all happened at Weber
& Fields music hall, New York city, the
other night.
The overture between acts was q sim
pie rendition of MY Country, 'Tis of
Thee" A murmur crept over the
crowd in the orchestra chairs and the
boxes. Suddenly u gentleman in even
ing dress, who occupied one of the
boxes in the lower tier, sprang to his
feet. and waving his handkerchief like
baton began to sing the words TO the
popular air. The crowd joined him. and
the little theater rang with the volume
Of sound.
Then this patriotic person asked in
tones loud enough for all the house to
hear that "The Star-Spangled Banner"
might be given. Stromberg swung his
stick and the orchestra broke into the
patriotic tune. The gentleman leaned
over the box rail so that everybody
might see and hear, and began 10 sing
the sorg. Again the house rose with
him, and again did all the patriotism Of
the American heart have vociferous ex-
preston.
After it was all over and the enthu-
siasrn had in measure subsided, there
were inquiries as to the personality of
the distingushed-Iooking man who had
created all the enthusiasm. Some man
about town, one of the kind who knows
everybody, said: why, that is William
Il. Vanderbilt !" And Il wassn

MARIETTA, Nov. 2S, 1897.
1t may perhaps not be interesting to
some of your readers to learn of the
impression Marietta has made on a
gentleman who has been some little
time amongst you, and whose dedue-
tions are the result of close personal
observations, confirmed by informa-
tion from all classes of your people
which his position has enabled him to
come in contact with.
With the exception of two great eve
sores, Of which anon, your town pre-
sents as inviting an appearance as any
of its size in the Buckeye land. Your
streets are broad, well laid out at right
angles. and most of them exceedingly
we'll paved. The slight elevation to
east and west removes that monotony
that so snrfeits. Your private dwell
lings are attractive-some from their
antiquity, modern ones from taste dis
played and elegance, and nearly all
FROM their appearance of neatness and
thrift. The houses of the really desti-
tute are but few
The modern idea that Incidence and
an old name are the only sesames to
admission into good society, does not
seem to prevail here. On the con-
trary, labor is held in high esteem,
and is no bar to moving in good cir
cles. providing that breeding and in
telligence go with it. Herce every
member of each family adds his or her

any of the larger cities, and the service
is excellent. Your manufacturing in
terests are manifold, creditable, and
steadily increasing; and gradually old
er idens are giving way to newer and
more progressive ones. But your pub
lie buildings-with some few credita-
BILE exceptions-lack the elegance, air
mess and architectural graceful out
lines of modern structures. The same
criticism applies to most all of your
business houses,
But oh, We shades of Romulus! how
they would darken and frown did they
but ken that the name Of the historic
Tiber that washed the seven hills on
which thou foundedst the mighty Rome,
was borne by little streamlet in the
county of Washington, and its chief
city, and that this parody on its name
was allowed to remain there, breeder
Of pestilent fevers; and that other eye
sore-that dumping ground known as
the Ice Harbor Lot" on Front street.
Proper re representation to the Govern
ment would give you an attractive
park with Government and City build
ings in the center, and the sequence to
that improvement would be the erec-
tion of modern and airy storerooms on
the opposite side Of Front street.
Nor are you behind in modern ideas
Of social progress. Your ladies have
organized numberless clubs, of which

Front.

The schooner William johnson is long
overdue to arrive at this port. She Is
bound here with cargo of coal from
Philadelphia and was last spoken off
Cape Cod on Monday night, over week
ago. This was before the big storm and
she was then reported to be leaking bad
~. The johnson is Maine built vessel
and was owned in Somer's Point, N. J.
The shipping men in this port are very
much worried because of her non
appearance.
The schooner Puritan was towed to
Gloucester yesterday by the tow boat
Belknap.
An attempt was made yesterday to
raise the sunken scow off the South
Portland ferry slip. 1t was not success
full and so the wreck was towed further
down the harbor and plainly marked by
three buoys.
The dredging company has purchased
a new tow boat in Baltimore. She is
about the size of the Knickerbocker ano
will soon arrive in this port where she
will be used in towing mud scows.
There was a big arrival OF fishermen

oRoNo INVESTIGATION ENDED.

Bangor, February S.-The hearing as
to the cause of the Maine Central wreck
at Orono on the afternoon of January 80,
was finished today noon.
The session opened in the morning at
Orono and after examining several Wit
nesses including the coroners who were
called to the scene and the physicians
who attended some of the patients, the
board adjourned and went to Oldtown,
where they took the testimony of Mail
Clerk o. E. W. Hinckley, who was in
the mail car on the afternoon OF the accl-
dent.
The board then came to Bangor and
took the testimony.of Mail Clerk W. r..
G. Chaplin of the Bangor & Vanceboro
run, and who was in charge OF the mail
car on the afternoon of the wreck.
Chaplin's testimony was the most i'm
portant introduced during the hearing.
He testified - that he was standing at She
letter case in the car at the time OF the
accident and the first thing that he no.
ticed unusual was that the car was OH
the iron end the wheels were humping
over the sleepers.
He said that he could positively state
| that the brakes were not applied before
the accident took place and this state
ment explodes the theory many have had
that the setting of the air-brakes caused
the train to jump the track.
The commissioners will make their re-
port in few days.
