DEATH OF BERNARD PETERS.
Brief Abstract from Sketch of the Life OF
the Deceased.


the Deceased.
The following brief abstract from
sketch of the life of Mr.. B. Peters is
taken from last Fridays Brooklyn
Daily Times:
Bernard Peters, for many years ed
itor and proprietor of the Brooklyn
Times, died at his country home at
Marketable, Conn, yesterday.
On January /, 1895, Mr. Peters was
afflicted with a paralytic stroke, from
which he never fully recovered, and
the disease gradually affected his
whole system. He leaves widow and
three children, Mrs. James A. Sperry,
Mrs. William C. Bryant and Thomas
Pollock Peters.
Preliminary services were held at
noon to-day at Mr.. Peters late home,
in Marketable, at which the Rev. T. S.
Ockford, rector of the P. E. church,
of Marketable, officiated.
The body will be brought to his late
Brooklyn residence, SO Lee avenue, to-
day, and funeral services will be held
at All Souls church, South Ninth
street, tomorrow evening The pail
bearers will be B. w. Wilson, Sr,
Felix Campbell Edward Merritt, John
Mollenhauer, George H. Fisher, OAR
win r. James, Andrew D. Baird, Gen.
C. T. Christensen, William Dick, Ar
thur c. Thomas, William Lamb, J. w.
Van de Water, Francis n. Young,
George B. Whiting, T. S. Ockford. The
interment will be on Sunday morning
at Cypress Hills cemetery.
Bernard Peters was born in Burck-
tenn, in the Palatinate of the Rhine,
in October, 1927, but with his father
John Phillip Peters, came to the United
States in 1884 and settled in Marietta,
Ohio, where he received a common
school education His first business ex-
perience was gained as clerk in a gem
eral store, but he was ambitious of a
wider scope for his talents and he stud
led law with Ferdinand Buell., one Of
the leading lawyers OF the Western
Reserve, who was one of the examiners
of the late President, Rutherford b.
Hayes. on his admission to the bar
This training was of inestimable adj
vantage to Mr. Peters in later years,
when dealing with great and complex
political problems. but the bent Of his
mind was not towards legal practice,
and in 1S4S he entered the Liberal In
stitute at Clinton, n. Y.-then and for
many years thereafter presided over
by the Rev. Dr. Thomas ]. Sawyer, be-
tween whom and Mr.. Peters there
sprnug up lifelong and warm friend
ship-and took UP the study Of theolo-
gy. While at school at Clinton Insti
tute he supported himself, after the
manner of students with more ambition
than wealth in those days. by teaching
school in the summer months. It was
while so engaged in that section of the
Old Dominion, which is now West Vir-
ginia, that Mr. Peters met Miss Cam
lila w. Pollock, to whom he was mar
ried in 1851, the year before he was
graduated. Mr. Peters was ordained as
clergyman in the Universalist Church
in 1852. and his first charge was of the
Second Universalist Church Of Cincin-

WHY THIS DIFFERENCE?

To the Editor Of the Register.
The evening paper of yesterday con-
taing a number of letters telling us
what a bad thing it would be for the
city to have competition in the tele-
phone business, while in another part
of the paper it tells what a good thing
it would be TO have street car compe-
tition. If it is bad in the one instance.
why not in the other? The News peo-
pie argue on all sides of all questions,
and then get in the middle. All fran
chises don't look alike to your even
ing contemporary with respect 20 the
city's interest.

A LONDON VIEW.

LONDON, July 1S.-Most of the
morning papers comment upon the
Joint statement of the American cor
respondents in Manila regarding the
censorship there.
The Times says:
Gen. Otis cannot conceal nor ex-
plain away the great fact that he fails
to bring the war to an end. He might
just as we'll cease playing the ostrich
and allow the correspondents to tell
the public what they see"
The Daily News says:
1.-THE moral of it is that the CORES
pondents will turn when you tread TOO
hard upon him and that his determina-
ton to let the cat out Of the bag may
still prove to be a blessing to modern
States"

CABINET TO DISCUSS IT.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Manila
dispatch sent from Hong Kong by the
newspapermen will be taken up by the
cabinet tomorrow. So far as can be
learned nothing has been done or decided
on concerning the communication. Off
Gals are exceptionally reticent on the SUBJ
jeet and it could not even be ascertained
whether the newspaper card had been ca
b!ed to Gen. Otis, though it is presur~cd
sthat this has been done since otherwise
he would not learn of 1t in the ordinary
course of things for some weeks when
American or European mails reach him.
1t was said tonight by prominent army
officer that Cen Otis probably would be
left free to act on the card as he thought
best. Nothing, he added, has been heard
from Gen. Otis on the subject.

aComplaints were made by several
of the assistants and clerks that our

direct application for information from
people in no way connected Win the
Office or the public business.
'As matter of protection OF the
public interests and good admlnlstra-

The censure of the so-called censored
press is without just cause and evident
ly made under misapprenension OF

received from Gen. Otis that has not
been given to the press promptly on the

every fair-minded representative OF the

THE standing instruction of the

ing the rumor from New York that the
engineers on the Brooklyn elevated
railroad would strike in sympathy with
the operatives of the trolley lines IN
that city, T. S. Ingraham, first grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, said tonight: There
will be no sympathy strike of the

LOUISVILLE, KY, July IA spe-
cial to the Courier Journal from Lon
don, KY, tells of report reaching
there of the outbreak of another feud
in Clay county by which five men lost
their lives to-day.
The dead are said to be:
Robert Philpot.
Ed. Fisher.
Aaron Morris.
Jim Griffin.
Hugh Griffin.
These fatalities resulted from a
pitched battle fought near Little
Goose creek, three miles from Man
chester.
The feud dates back nearly two
years. On Christmas, 1897, James
Philpot was killed by Aaron Morris,
but before he died he shot and killed
VIM Bundy, friend of Morris. The
Morrises and Griffins were closely af-
filiated. Since then the feeling be-
tween the two factions has been very
bitetr and it has been aroused recent
ly by the White-Baker hostilities. The
Philpots, who are the strongest faction
in the mountains, numbering about
$50 voters, openly espoused the cause
of the Bakers, while the Griffins took
sides with the Whites. The story that
reaches here from Manchester is to the
effect that Bob Philpot was arrested
this morning by Deputy Sheriff Wash
Thacker.
While very circumstantial in other re-
spects the report does not show clearly
the origin of the trouble nor give the rea-
son for Philpot's arrest. 1t is said that
while Thacker was taking Philpot's bond
the latter was shot from behind by mem
Der of crowd that had gathered. This
precpitated a general fight with Win
chesters and revolvers, which was partic-
ipated in by George, Granville, Robert and
and Aaron Morris, Hugh, Jim and Greer
Griffin on the other. The battle began al
about o'clock and ragged fiercely for ter
or fifteen minutes. When il was over il
was found that the five men mentioned
above had been killed outright three o,
the belligerents were seriously wounded
while Peter Philpot was the only one on
either side to escape injury.
Granville Phipot is said to be one OF
the most seriously wounded. He is q
union veteran, having lOSl d leg at stone
River. He is an ex-member of the Ken
lucky legislature and has killed thirteen
or fourteen.
Ed. Fisher, who is reported dead, was an.
other man with several hicks in his cane
He was but % years of age, but was said
to have killed three men.
The story of this battle caused consterna-
ton here, Notwithstanding the fact that
serious trouble has been expected to break
out among the mountaineers of Clay coun-
ty ever since the ASSASSINATION of Ton
Baker several weeks ago. An effort was al
once begun to secure deputies to go to the
seat of the trouble and artemt to restore
quiet, but up TO a late hour in the after
noon there had not been enough responses
to make up a force that would command
respect. The situation at Manchester is
deplorabe. Since morning the place has
been in a state of terror, scarcely any one
daring to venture out of doors. Business
is suspended and the residents are momen-
tarily expecting a renewal of hostilities

gems, took a prominent part in the
work of rescue. After securing the
electric lights it was decided to force
air into the mine for the purpose Of
driving out the gas and enabling the
searchers to penetrate the mine to
greater distance Sections of hose
were secured from the Atlantic. Nj
agara and Eighth ward houses and con-
nected together. The long line of hose
was run from the mouth of the mine 10
the Belmont blast furnace, where a
connection was made about l0:30
O'Clock. The connection was made
with the machinery for forcing the
blast into the furnace.
This was a happy idea. as the air
was sent into the mine under consid-
cradle pressure, and the desired results
were gradually obtained. As the air
was forced into the mine the search
ers were enabled to proceed farther
with their electric lights.
By midnight the rescuing crew had
gone far enough into the mine to dis
cover the electric light which had been
carried inside by Charles Seamon, and
word was sent back to the mouth of
the mine. At two o'clock this morn
ing word came that the party had not
yet succeeded in reaching Seamon.

STILL AT WORK.


2:30 a. m.-Mine Inspector McGough,
of the Belmont, Ohio, district, is re-
ported in charge of the operations, and
is working in conjunction with the po-
lice, firemen and citizens. Fire Chief
Cline and Police Chief Clemans are on
duty.
a. NAT this hour 1,150 feet of
fire hose had been run into the mine,
and the men a few feet in advance OF
the nozzle could see the electric light
which had been carried by Seamon,
but could not reach it. Two hundred
and fifty feet more hose was ordered
into the mine, and with this advantage
they were confident Seamon could be
reached That he was dead was be-
yond a doubt. He was Twenty-Five
years of age and worked at the La
Belle. His death was universally de-
plored.
3:30-There are still two hundred and
fifty or three hundred people at the
mouth of the mine, quite number OF
them women. The hose has been taken
in, but the connections do not appear
to be complete, as the work, in the bad
atmosphere, is necessarily very dill
cult.
3:45 a. m.-The men are all out for
air, not being able to stand it any lon
ger. William Scott, of West Wheeling,
is the Ohio Mine boss whose aid was
called in. but the general work of res
cue is in charge of Mayor Sweeney
Mr.. Scott says no one could live in the
mine for half an hour, which indicates
both Campbell and Seamon are past
hope. Many people are still about the
mouth of the mine, and work will be
resumed and continued until the bodies
are reached
One of the workers was overcome,
and had to be led out when the last OF
the men come to the surface. HIS
name was not ascertained.

But. although earnestly devoted to
Republican principles and ardent in
debate, Mr. Peters had no personal en-
mites, and never Intentionally wrote
a line or uttered a word of unkind
personality. Appeal TO reason and
not to passion" was his constant in
junction to the younger writers on
his staff. "Vituperation is not argu-
ment, and sarcasm directed against
the weaknesses or foibles of an OPP
ponent may amuse your foolish friends
but it will never win you a vote from
YOUR opponents" He was vehement
in denunciation of opinions and doc
trines which he believed to be detri-
mental to the community, but he had
the largest tolerance and charity for
those who entertained opinions the
most Numerically opposed to his own
And as it was in politics, so it was in
all the relations of life. The capacity
for entertaining or cherishing personal
malice or private grudge seemed
wholly absent from his nature, and he
was always ready to befriend even
those who had misrepresented or
wronged him without hint or appar-
emily a thought that he was returning
good for evil.
