POLITICAL
NOTES.

Peter j. Ford had his hearing before the
Legislature yesterday in relation to the
charges he preferred why Detective Bar
ney Money should not DO confirmed for
another four years. Barney was also
heard In his own defence but was unable
to make any very favorable impression
upon the members of the Senate in whose
hands bis future official life rests. Tho
office pays 500 month and Ia snug
berth for the men who has thus far been
fortunate to bask in the emoluments of
the office The two positions are regarded
as asnap.
There is one thing certain and that is
thaIit does not pay for county official to
NEEDLE too much In politios that do not
concern him.
From present indications there will DO
another break In the Senatorial deadlock
before another week has passed. and Mr..
Addicks may gain two or moro votes
retaining the three Regulars that came
ovor last week. The Republican voters
certainly expect United States Senator
TO D" elected and they expect the Republl-
can members to see that their wishes are
carried out, otherwise certain ambitious
young men will DO MS great as other politi-
clans, has beens" They should consult
their constituents and then net as their rep.

NELSON DINGLEY DEAD.

Succumbed to Heart Failure
After a Brave Struggle.
Record of Long and Distinguished Career
In Public Life.

Hon. Nelson Dingley, leader of the
house, chairman Of the ways and means
committee, member of the joint high
commission, passed away at 1870 o'clock
Friday night in his room at the Hamil-
tor5 house, surrounded by wife, daughter
and two of his sons.
His gallant fight for life, which Thurs
day he seemed likely to win, practically
ended at noon Friday, when the fatal
change occurred, and he sank gradually
until his strength was entirely gone. He
was unconscious from noon until he
died, and was, Of course, in no pain. The
end was simply momentary futter of
the heart.
His devoted wife and his daughter,
Miss Edith, who has been nursing him
so faithfully, and his two sons from
SkalamazoO-Messrs. E. n. and H. A
Dingley-were with him all the evening.

appreciation of the women athOme:-
May the ladies Of our church
Nevermore be left in luFch
In matters philanthropic true aud kind
May success attend their way,
May each bright recurring dry
Their hearts and hands in works of mercy
bind.
May their course be as the sun
Shining gladly DER each one,
Warm and vital with its rays of life divine ;
May their courage never flag,
May their efforts never lag,
May grim sorrow never prompt them to repine.
Free their pathway from despair,
From blind wrong and carking care
Strewn with pleasures be their onward going

Strong their purpose. firm their zeal
Toward home, good aud public veal,
For by their strivings comes brighter bet

Sweet harmonics of the soul.

Touch their lips with songs of praise,
Their glad voices upward raise,
Invoking universal righteousness and joy.

When Mr. Dingley was first elected to
congress he received a majority of 5000
votes. He was elected to the Fffty-fifth
congress by a majority of $4,000 votes.
When he entered congress he was made
a member of the committee on bank
ing and currency, serving there eight
years. At the beginning of his con-
gressional career, the country was dis
turbed on the question of the extension
Of charters of the National Bank as
sociation. He Immediately identified
himself with a bill for the extension of
the charters of the banks, and, in the
face of much opposition, helped fight the
bill through. The opposition to the re-
sumption OF specie payments had not
been dissipated, and Mr.. Diugley had
no small part in befriending the gov
eminent in its policy
But it is difficult to name any i'm
pOrtant legigiati0n in congress in the
last Is years W it'll which he was not identi-
fed. While he had been active in finan-
cial matters, he WIS thoroughly in
formed on shipping. It was through
his influence THAI d committee on ship
owners and ship interests was created
AL Tic liONoGs liz w CO CT I4LFt llLstN VI
the minority of that committee, whose
successor has been the present useful
committee on merchant marine and fish
cries. In the Forty eighth, Forty ninth
and Fiftieth congresses there was a
great deal Of agitation in favor Of sub
Sliding American ships to carry the
mails. Nj. DirgIey was a hearty cham
pion of this, and framed a bill which
finally became a law, paying to Amori-
can ships of certain register and speed
a compensation for transporting Amer
lean mails. In the Fifty-first congress
he was given membership by Speakc"
Reed, whose right arm he has been in
recent years, on the ways and means
committee. When in the Fifty-second
congress the Democrats succeeded to
power, Speaker Crisp transferred Mr..
Dingley to the minority of the com
mittea or appropriations. He made
himself a valuable man there, serving
for four years, ana displaying a knowl-
edge Of appropriations hardly surpassed
by any Of lie older members. Presi-
dent Mckinley always had a strong
friendship for Mr. Dingley since they
served together in the house.
Mr.. DlngleyS ldthef was trader,
not particularly well to 10, and the boy
bent himself to work at an early age.
His steadiness OF purpose came from
his old Puritan stock, but his intellectual
ability came from his mother, woman
educated far beyond her station or the
average Of cultivation in those days.
She was a school teacher, and brought
all the discipline and knowledge of her
mind to bear upon the training of her
son, and he found her influence one Of
the greatest factors in his success.

Our townsman. William Cheney,
suffered the loss of a good horsedast
Friday, the result of quitea unusual
runaway. Mr.. Cheney had been up
to HardWck and was driving home
when he met a loaded team between
here and Wolcott. Something about
the load frightened Mr.. Cheney's
horse, which SHE'D to one side of the
road, overturning the sleigh aud
leaving it's occupant in the Twiss
neighborhood. The horse ran full
speed toward this village and had
reached A. g. Vests barn at the
east end OF the "dug way" where the
cutter caught onto a telephone pole,
the horse broke loose and turned
through an open bar way on to the
railroad track and headed back east.
Then the most remarkable feature
of the wild escapade. The frightened
horse, now between the iron rails,
dashed on at top speed toward VOL
colt, over several short tFestlings,
cattle guards and the like to the long
covered clones bridge crossing the
Lamoilie river a short distance this
side of Wolcott village, which was
crossed in safety by the runaway,
travelling over the ties OF the bridge
on which no boards or planks are TO
be found. Having thus escaped in
jury to life or limb in a remarkable
way, the horse deserved a kinder fate
than that in store for it. fora passing
train caught it short distance be-
yond the bridge, tossing the unfortu-
nate beast off into the barbed wire
fence with broken legs but not dead
Later on it was found there and was
put out OF it's misery. Mr.. Cheney
was offered one hundred dollars for
the horse the day previous.
In the result of this runaway we
have attention called TO the lack of
fencing between highway and railway
from aboutthe point where the horse
went on to the track to the bridge.
The train which overlook the horse
was the Morrisville train-gang, max
ing q special run to "the summit"
with a second engine. The train was
stopped to ascertain what was up.
The horse was found but the train
men did not think best to kill it, but
sent the Wolcott section men back.
They reached the horse at about the
time Mr.. Cheney did.

We are informed by Charles Boyn-
ton, who with his mother, recently
bought one half of the bakery block
that he is contemplating putting in
roller mill in the north side of the
building, just back OF the meat-mar-
ket, or the principle bakery room of
the building as it was originally de-
signed and used. 1t is the idea to
put in a first,class mill with power
furnished by agasolene engine SINH
liar to that operated by FL. N. Grey
in Cambridge. The portion of the
building to be occupied if the scheme
goes, is conveniently approached from
the north side with lots of team
room, and it would be desirable to
extend the railroad siding from its
terminus near E. G. Wilson's furni-
ture store across the street and to
an outside platform next the build
ing. There is certainly something in
such a scheme, and this seems to bid
fair to materialize.

Pinafore in 1IorrisviIle.

The entertainment committee con-
nected with the ladies' societies of
the Congregational and the Univer-
salist churches have already taken
steps to be followed up vigorously in
the production of the welI-kuown
popular musical entertainment, the
opera "Pinafore" by local talent here
in Morrisville. The musical talent
within reach in and out of these two
societies is such as to assure a sue
cessful entertainment, on a larger
scale than usually undertaken. Some
thing like six to eight weeks will
elapse before the presentation of the
opera here, and thorough work will
be given the cast and chorus. 1t is
understood that the chorus is to be
drilled by Mrs. G. M. Powers and the
cast will be selected with a view to
the best possible results When
ready it is expected that three pre-
sensations will be given, on two even
ings and in an afternoon matinee.
