COL. GEORGE W. HOOKER.

The Brattleboro Phoenix pays editorial
ly an appreCiative tribute to the late Col
Hooker from which we take the follow
ing paragraphs and add our own testimony
to their truth:
There are three principal aspects TO his
life's record which appeal to public inter-
est: Col. Hooker as soldier, as man
in public life, as a citizen of Brattleboro.
No drawer soldier ever lived" is the
sincere tribute OF one Of his old comrades,
who knew him in battle and in biVouaC.
On the field of battle he faced death and
privatons absolutely without fear, and
with the same cheerfulness which made
it pleasure to meet him through all his
later years What he braved and what
he endured in the Civil War none of us
wholly know. Wounded five times at Cold
Har0or, and supposed to be beyond the
reach of surgical skill. he recovered and
returned to the field for still further eff
ficient service. All the world Loves a sol
der. and Col Hooker was the bind of a
soldier to win our admiration.
Col Hooker undoubtedly enjoyed public
life. He liked other men, and, with his
attractive presence and possessed Of that
indetinable quality which, for lack of d
better word we call magnetic, men in
stinctively became his friends.
The two most important public positions
which he ever filled were as sergeant at
arms Of the House of Representatives, in
the 47th Congress, and as secretary of the
republican national committee in the cam
paien which resulted in the election OF
President Garfield. In our own State, the
most notable work in his legislative caree,
was the introduction of the corporation
tax law.
But ii is as the man. as a peculiarly
original and loVable character that he vii
! he longest remembered. Col. Hooker was
an optimlst. II was habitual with him tC
meet everything and everybody with
smile and a pleasant word. Some OF his
last words were CHARACTERISTIC, Il never
felt better in my life.
That was Col. Hooker all over. The
| bright and sunny side appealed to him
! But there were in him many veins of tn,
humorous and philosophical. EpigramAtiC
in hts remarks. now that he is gone. many
OF his sayings come back to us almost will

Col. Hooker was Col. Hooker. No or,
had to think or speak for him. disagree,
with him at times we might. but our Xix
I ing for him never changed What Brat
tleboro has lost. and what we all have
lost, individually and collectively, we shai

words, his voice of counsel and comrado

OORRIGAN FIGHTS FOB LIFE.

Condition of the Pneumonia Strick-
en- Archbishop Ii Serious.
New York, April 26.-A bulletin is
sued by the doctors in attendance on
Archbishop Corrigan, who is i'll with
pneumonia, says:
archbishop Corrigan has an attack
of pneumonia. He has passed a com
Portable night and is resting easily.
There are no unusual symptoms"
Great concern was expressed when
the serious illness of the archbishop
became known. His advanced age and
the fact that for over two months he
has been in poor health gave his seri-
GUS illness an even graver aspect.
The first intimation that the arch
bishop was threatened with pneumonia
was received when his condition be-
came such that his private secretary
sent for his grace's regular physician,
DR.. E. l.. Reyes of 1 East Seventy
fourth street
The physician Immediately pronounc-
ed the case one of congestion of the
right lung, with symptoms Of pneumo-
mia. DR.. Delafield was called in con-
sultation, and the two physicians &C.
knowledged that the archbishop had
developed pneumonia of virulent
type. His temperature was 102.

A PLEA FOR VENGEANCE
Pompton Lakes Mayor Urges Citizens
to Avenge Eta 0dell.
REMARKABLE PROCLAMATION
Declaration That Efforts Have Been
Made to Suppress the Facts In
Connection with WanaQue
Bellies Death.

Pompton, N. j., April ~. After
meeting of the prominent residents of
Pompton Lakes, Wanaque, Midvale and
Butler at the Pompton Lakes hotel
Mayor G. G. Romaine drafted and is
sued proclamation, which will be cir
culated throughout this part of the
county, calling for extraordinary meas
ures in connection with the mysterious
poisoning Of Marietta Odell, who died
in her boarding house at Wanaque last
Saturday.
This proclamation of the mayor, aft
er warning young women not to make
the acquaintance Of strangers, calls on
the citizens of the community to take
the law in their own hands, urging
them to take steps which will not per-
NIT of the repetition of the Odell case.
The proclamation, which already has
begun to stir the people. reads:
Whereas 1t has come to my notice that
certain young woman of estimable char
actsr has met death presumably by foul
means and at the hands of a man or men
with Interior purposes, and
Whereas. The guilty person has not been
apprehended and the efforts to arrest such
guilty person appear to be insufficient.
Therefore I, as mayor Of the borough of
Pompton Lakes, N. j., call on the resi-
dents Of the section Of the state lying adj
jacent thereto to take extraordinary pre-
cautions. Young women should not con-
sent to the approaches Of strangers who
are now appearing on our highways and
the men Of the community should take
such steps to rebuke said affronts as to
guarantee that they would not be re-
peated.
the facts in connection with the death of
Marietta Odell 1t Is desired that all in
formation concerning this dastardly deed
be furnished to myself or other local and
interested officials.
The good name Of our vicinity must not
be furnished by permitting this crime to
60 unsolved, and the guilty must be
brought to justice. c. c. ROMAINE,
Mayor, Borough of Pompton Lakes. N. J.
Reward offered.
A reward of $500 has been offered
by two leading citizens of Wanaque
for information leading to the arrest
of the poisoner or prisoners of the
girl
Shocked by the odium brought upon
the little town by the mysterious death
of the Wanaque belle, John G. Drew
and Edward r. Riker jointly offer
$500 as the nucleus of a fund which
| they hope will lead to the detection of
her slayer.
DR.. Shippey, who took Miss Odelrs
antemortem statement. admits that the
girl made complete statement which
he gave to County Physician Mcbride.
| 1t is said that the police are planning
| to summon the suspected poisoner to
testify at the inquest, probably next
Saturday, and at the proper time to
accuse him of having caused Eta
Odelrs death.
