J., Feb. 4.—Prominent citizen* and taxpayers from all parts of Union -county met on Saturday at the Elizabeth Court house to discuss a general road bill to be submitted to the legislature. State Senator Miller and Assemblymen Vorhees and Ulrich, of Union county, were present. The bill is entitled "An act to enable boards of chosen freeholders to acquire, improve and maintain public roads," and its object is to give the freeeholders full control of all county roads in the state and to have power to repair them at the expense of taxpayers. It is proposed to either levy a special tax to pay for such improvements or to issue bonds of the county at 5 per cent interest to raise the money to pay for the njprk, the roads to be paved at least twelve feefWide in the center.

Some New Conclusions About Time. Cleveland Will Become a New York A meeting of the fire commissioners, the superintendent and the chief will be held to consider the building laws, which are blamed greatly. Chief Hornig urges that builders be made to divide wide buildings with a fire wall every fifty feet. If such a wall had been put in the great Root & Keating building, where the flames started, the flames oould have been controlled. The chief thinks another defect in the building was made noticeable. Roofs here are laid directly upon the walls, and it was in this weak spot that the flames gained entrance to the Jewett building. If thereof had been battlemented and the walls built above the roof a foot or two the building could have been saved. The iron front wall of the Jewett building crashed through the pavement on Seneca street and opened the natural gas main.

New York, Feb. 4.—A gang of urchins, none of whom appeared to be more than 14 years of age, congregated on First avenue, around Thirty-fourth street, shortly after noon. The cars of the Twenty-third street cross town, and the Forty-second street cross town, and Thirty-fourth street ferry lines were running up to 1 o'clock with more or less regularity, and without any incident of note. On the avenue, between Twenty-fifth and Forty-second streets, a large number of boys were playing, as had been their wont on Sunday afternoon. Indianapolis, Feb. 4.—Presidentelect Harrison is said to have completed his inaugural address. Though it is still subject to revision there is little probability that any material changes will be made and it is believed that the labor, so for as his stenographer is concerned, is finished. Washington, Feb. 4.—The commissioner of pensions has informed the secretary of the interior that there will be a deficiency in the amount necessary for the payment of pensions for the current fiscal year over and above existing appropriations of about #8,000,000. He Many revolutionary relics have recently been dug up in Bucks county, Pa. Brooklyn, Feb. 3.—A jubileo sermon was preached this morning by the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., at an especial communion for the reception of 340 persons, making the present communicant membership of the Brooklyn Tabernacle 4,428. This is also moving day in this church. The annual rental of pews has just occurred and today many of the congregation occupy new places. The pews brought higher premiums this year than ever beforo and tho income of the church this year will bo $34,904. But both plans are observed in this church. A vast space is kept free from all expense and only a part of the building is mapped off for rent. Dr. Tulmage took his text from tho fifteenth chapter of Luke, twenty-third verse: "Bring hither tho fat toil calf and kill it." Dr. Talmage said: Philip Farley, a New York policeman, got drunk while on duty aud severely clubbed several people, one of whom, Mrs. Amelia Hamilton, may dia One-third of the cost is to be paid by the city or township through which the roads run and the balance to be assessed on the county at large. A civil engineer is to be employed to make out plans for all improvements determined upon and to get a reasonable compensation for his labor. recommends that congress be asked to appropriate this amount to prevent the stoppage of the payment of pensions. The commissioner states that from July 1, 1888, to Jan. 81,1889, 84,042 pension certificates of various kinds have been issued, which is 24,489 in excess of the issue during the corresponding period of last year. He says that he knows of no reason why the same ratio of increase will not continue during the ensuing five months of the present fiscal year. The average value of pensions upon the rolls is being increased by the granting of applications for increased pensions. He states that the increased disbursements for pensions during the present year results in fact from the operations of the act of congress June 7, 1888, granting arrears of pensions to widows of the war of 1861, and that of Aug. 29, 1888, increasing the rate for total and partial deafness. The amount appropriated for army and navy pensions during the current year is $80,473,000. In preparing the address, Harrison has dictated a paragraph at a time, and when the matter was written he revised it carefully and then redictated the whole from the revised copy. Many of the paragraphs have been subjected to as many as three revisions, and not infrequently a whole paragraph has been copied because it was thought best to leave out or substitute some particular word. Mrs. Katharine Fox died at Tuscarora, N. Y., aged 102 years. The strike of the McConnellsville coke burners is not general. A new soft coal syndicate has been organized in Altoona, Pa., to operate in Hastings and Cambria counties, Pa The regular police patrol only were on the beat when some gamin far up the avenue shouted out: MWhat's the matter with givin* the scabs the rassle?" That was sufficient. The word flew through the avenue and caught the fancy of the boys. Before the police knew anything was happening a break had been made for a wagon standing near the curb at Thirtieth street It was dragged out upon the track and literally strewn all over it, amid the wildest enthusiasm. The cheering could be heard for blocks away, and the tenements that abound in the district seemed to open and pour out boys of all ages and sizes in most luxuriant profusion. The police charged fhem, and then the tumult began. Men who were passing protested that children should not be clubbed, and they hissed and jeered the officers, while from the windows of the houses willing hands not infrequently threw out buckets of water on the heads of the finest The latter wore few in numbers and bunched together, so when they got out of the scuffle in which they were for the moment engaged they found that a smaller brigade further down the avenue had captured two trucks from somewhere and run them on the track. A car chanced along at the time and a regular blockade ensued. A BATTLE WITH RODENTS. There is a crisis in the anthracite coal trade arising from the mild weather, the quantity on hand at tide water aud the unwillingness of oonsumers to make contracts. Silas Berry Savagely Attacked by a These facts have caused considerable excitement here. The latest estimate places the lofis at $2,000,000. All the buildings except tha Arlington hotel will be rebuilt. Newton, N. J., Feb. 4.—Silas Berry, a young man who works on a farm near here, had a desperate conflict with rats. On the farm is a deep brick vault for the storage of Jrewers' grain. This was packed in so tight last summer that it was necessary to to cut it out with a spade Thus far about one-half has been taken out and in such a way as to leave a dark hole in the vault Berry descended into the hole by means of a ladder, and soon he felt a large rat climbing up his trousers leg. He kicked, the rat squealed, and one of the assistants on the outside opened a trap door, letting in a flood of light Then, just on a level with his head, Berry saw scores of rodents looking at him. They made for him from all directions and a desperate fight ensued. There were about 100 of the rats and Berry had no weapons but his hands and heavy books. It was twenty minutes before any help arrived, and then Berry was taken out of the pit in a fainting condition and oovered with blood from many cuts and scratches. He killed sixty of the pests in his desperate fight Troop of the Pests. -In the preparation of the address Harrison has been very methodical and very careful. He has not depended upon his own memory 'or anything, but has been careful to consult records and secure absolute data upon which to base his statements or from which to draw his conclusions. The Presque Isle Gas company has abandoned its natural gas well, which it organized to sink for the sake of testing the resources of the Trenton rock underlying Erie. The well is 4,500 feet deep and cost (15,000. A PHILADELPHIA TRAGEDY. Joy! Joy! Joy! We banquet today over this accession of 240 persons to whom I have given the right hand of fellowship, making our prosent communicant membership four thousand five hundred and eight. Is it not appropriate that we spread the banquet! Reputable citizens of Jersey City suspect that the new charter which is soon to be introduced in the legislature is a political job of the worst description. Annie Klaus Murdered by Her Lover, Who Lived a Double Life—lie Then During the two months which the inaugnral address has been under consideration he has carefully considered the position of his party on all public questions, but especially upon the acts of the senate regarding the more important matters that have been discussed, or upon which the two parties have differed It is therefore pretty certain that he will not venture out of the beaten paths in his address, but every utterance will be in line with the policy pursued by the party to which he owes his election to the presidency. Kills Himself. Philadelphia, Feb. 4.—Annie Klaus, a pretty girl, the daughter of a well known shoe dealer, was found on a lot at Hope street an-l Montgomery avenue Saturday night with a bullet in her brain. She died without gaining consciousness. The body was not identified until yesterday morning, but before daylight the murderer had been run down and had killed himself, after having tried to kill his wife. George Taylor, of Barkhamstead, Conn., had a serious encounter with a Canada lynx, which he finally killed. In all ages of the world it has been customary to celebrate joyful events by festivity— the signing of treaties, the proclamation of peace, tho Christmas, the marriage. However much on other days of the year our table may have stinted supply, on Thanksgiving day there must be something bounteous. And all the comfortable homes of Christendom have at some time celebrated joyful events by banquet and festivity. THE WEEK IN CONGRESS. The Samoan question will come up in a new form during the week, and it is likely more decided action will be taken. Senator Frye raid that what he expected the senate committee on foreign relations to do was to report a resolution giving the president authority to demand that the status at the time of the conference of 1887 be restored. The committee is now acting under a resolution of instructions from the senate, but no special meeting has been called, and the resolution, if reported, may not come before the senate before Wednesday or Thursday. Meantime the Pacific railroad funding bill is expected to come up to-day at 2 o'clock, and the Sherman anti-trust bill early in the week. The legislative, executive and judicial appropriar tion bill will be reported to the senate  and the committee expects to call it up tomorrow. It will consume at least one of the afternoons of the week. WENT DOWN WITH THE BRIDGE. Fourteen Persona Killed and Mnny Injured on a French Railway. Brussels, Feb. 4.—A terrible railroad aocident occurred yesterday near GroenendaeL A train bound from Brussels for Narnur struck a pillar of a bridge near that place, causing the bridge to collapse. The train was carried down- with it and completely wrecked. Fourteen persons were killed outright, and fifty others were injured. Matters of minor importance have not been enlarged upon and many which might seem to deserve more extended notice have been dropped with a bare reference. The murderer was Otto Kayser, a street car conductor. He had been leading a double life for years. He first met the girl he killed during the bi-centennial In the fall of 1883. She bore an excellent reputation. Kayser was known as a quiet, peaceable man, in love with his wife and two little children. Something has happened in the old homestead greater than anything that has ever happened before. A favorite son whom tho world supposed would becomo a vagabond and outlaw forever has got tired of sight seeing and has returned to his father's house. Tho world said ho never would como back. The old man always said his sou would come. Ho bad been looking for him day after day and year after year. Ho know he would come bade. Now, having returnod to his father's house, the father proclaims "celebration. The civil service, the development of the south, which he refers to as "a section of our great republic," and the admission of certain territories to the sisterhood of states, are discussed in separate paragraphs, and his views are fully given on each. HARRY INGRAM'S RETURN. Some few Indies who were passengers got out of it, and then the gamins stood back and pelted it with whatever they could lay their bands on. Superintendent McLean of the car line at once communicated with Capt. Ryan, who was up at the Fourth avenue road stables, and he despatched twenty of the reserves. By the time they arrived the avenue was blocked and jammed with people. Everybody was pushing and jostling and shouting. The police were powerless. They became hemmed in near the car depot, and the rest of the line was in the possession of the boys. They piled it with everything movable they could find for blocks away. Back yards contributed wood, and the stores were levied on i'or anything and everything tl»t could be utilized as an obstruction. He Finds His Cruelly Deserted Wife Happy The bodies of all the persons killed have been brought here. Fifteen persons, all mortally injured, lie at Hoeylaert, near the scene of the disaster. Among them are several young children. The minister of railroads has visited the injured, most of whom are suffering from fractured legs. Masses of masonry block the line, and they will probably have to be removed by the aid of dynamite. Annie left her home, 1,637 North Second street, about 8 o'clock Saturday night and met Kayser at Second and Putnan streets, a stone's throw from her father's shoe store. She passed her home with Kayser and walked with him to the lot where he shot her. It is believed that she did not make an appointment with Kayser, but that they met by accident and that she walked along not thinking where she was going. Annie had always known Kayser as "Tom Lynn." She had been told that he was married, but she did not know It positively. She was passionately in love with him. In H New Home. The subject of protection to American industries is treated at greater length than any other, and his utterances will prove more moderate than is generally expected. He will concede that the tariff law should be revised, and will suggest that a careful study of its provisions will show irregularities that should be remedied by proper legislation. Harrisburo, Feb. 4.—Seven years ago Harry Ingram, a printer, left his wife and three children in this city, and departed for the east in search of work. Mrs. Ingram did needle work to support herself and children, but she was able to provide only scantily the necessaries of life. Three years after her husband's departure Mrs. Ingram heard that he had died in New York, the result of dissipation, and she married James Hurst, a hard working mechanic. There were two children born in the Hurst family, and Mr. Hurst was a kind father to all of the children in the house. A few days ago Ingram returned to the city. He was a tramp, and was dirty and ragged. He went to his wife's home and intended to make it his headquarters, but was turned out and forbidden to enter. This made him angry, and he threatened to prosecute his wife and take his children away. Mrs, Hurst fears that he will carry out his threat. Senator Hale expects to call up the census bill tho latter part of the week, and it will probably occupy the senate's attention for two days or more. Senator Chandler expects to ask the senate to take up his Louisiana elections resolution about Thursday. The report of the committee on privileges and elections on the Washington county (Tex.) outrages will be presented to the senate early in the week, but it is not likely to be called up for action. The Indepenpance Beige hints that the line was under repair at the place where the train was derailed. WHEN A LOST SOUL COMES HOME TO GOO. There is a calf in the paddock that has been kept up and fed to utmost capacity so ns to be ready for some occasion of joy that might como along. Ahl there never will bo a grander day on the old homestead than this day. Let the butchers do their work, and the housekeepers bring into the table tho smoking meat. The musicians will take their places, and the gay groups will move up and down the floor. All the friends and neighbors are gathered in, and extra supply is sent out to the table of the servants. The father presides at the table, and says grace, and thanks God that his long absent boy is home again. Oh! how they missed him; how glad thoy are to havo him back. One brother indeed stands pouting at the back door and says: "This is a great ado about nothing; this bod boy should have been chastened instead of greeted; veal is too good for him!" But the father says: "Nothing is too good, nothing is good enough." There sits the young man, glad at the hearty reception, but a shadow of sorrow flitting across his brow at tho remembrance of the trouble he had seen. All ready now. Let the covers lift. Music. Ho was dead and he is alive again! He was lost and he is found! By such bold imagery does the Bible set forth tho merry making when a soul comes home to God. A short paragraph is also devoted to the Chinese question, and the subject of Mormonism is handled as one of more than subordinate importance. He will t&ka the ground that the law prohibiting Chinese immigration should lje strictly inforced; that all violations of it should be severely punished, and that under no circumstances should the protection thus afforded to American laborers be abridged. A ftoft CohI Syndicate. After he shot her Kayser went to his home, at 2,738 Kensington avenue, where he fou ad his wife and her mother. He was very m ach excited, but, after walking up and down the sitting room several times, he went to bed. At 5 o'clock he was aroused by the police, who were hunting Annie Klaus' murderer. Kayser raised the window sash and Lieut. Scott told him he was wanted. Altoona, Pa., Feb. 4.—A soft coal syndicate has been organized by eastern capitalists to develop the rich coal lands about the towns of Frugality and Hastings in Cambria county. The syndicate includes Vice President-elect Levi P. Morton, Governor James A. Beaver and First Vice President Frank C. Thompson, of the Pennsylvania railroad. The house evidently means to settle down to work during this week. Beside the usual day sessions, four night sessions have been agreed upon—Monday and Wednesday night for consideration of the Indian appropriation bill, Tuesday night for consideration of business from the distriot of Columbia committee, and Friday night for the consideration of pension bills. The reserves that had been sent for came through Thirty-fifth street, but they couldn't get within a block of the gang, so densely packed was the street. At least 0,000 people must have been pulled or got shoved into the lines, and once in retreat was impossible. The temper of the crowd was not improved by its close quarters, and danger was imminent from people living in the houses throwing missiles. An alarm was finally sent to polico headquarters, and Inspectors Steers "Shd Byrnes, with two detachments of men, came flying up on the patrol wagons. They formed in what is known as the "riot square," and in less than twenty minutes they had the avenuo clear. For more than an hour it was placed practically under martial law. Nq one was allowed to come out of or go in any of the houses, and all windows were ordered olosed. The latter action was rendered necessary because of some misjlcs that had been thrown at the officers. There were several rumors that shots had been fired, but they lacked verification. The speck of polygamy in the territories adjoining Utah is discussed, and legislation to prevent it from securing the foothold obtained in Utah is recommended: He hurried back to his room, picked up a razor, and rushing to the bed where his sleeping wife lay with her two baby boys, he drew the razor across her throat, making a gash four inches long. She raised up in bed with a scream, and her husband drew the razor across the left side of her neck, making a deep cut twelve inches long that reached from ear to ear and down to her right shoulder blade. Mrs. Kayser caught up her youngest child in her arms while the blood gushed from the gaping wounds in her throat, and rushing down stairs she opened the front door. There is no truth, so Harrison's personal friends say, in the report that parts of the address have been submitted to distinguished Republican visitors, and other parties sent east for the purpose of advice as to the pertinency of the subject matter and the advisability of the utterances. Harrison, they say, has not shown the address, or any part of it, to his callers. Maysville, Ky., Feb. 4.—C. S. Leach, for several years city treasurer of this place, has not been seen last Thursday. His mysterious absence was explained at a meeting of the city council Saturday night, when it was found that Leach's accounts showed an apparent shortage of $4,200. He has always been highly respected by the community. Another Mlnsing Treasurer, Mr. Pope's Denial. Mr. Blanchard has filed with the speaker a petition signed by 188 members of congress, asking bim to recognize Mr. Blanchard to move a suspension of the rules to pass the river and harbor bill Representative Tim Campbell is anxious to secure the passage of the bill to pension Mrs. Gen. Sheridan, and Mr. Dunn, if recognized by the speaker, will move the passage of the international copyright bill. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 4.—Frank Pope, the attorney engaged in securing evidence in the contested election case of the Second congressional district, returned from Madison. He says that the reports of danger to his life by lynchers has been greatly exaggerated. A public meeting was held at Madison upon his arrival, the object of his visit being erroneously supposed to be the arrest of citizens and their prosecution in the United States court. There was no outbreak, however, or any actual preparations for violence. Mr. Pope will return to Madison on Thursday and resume his work of collecting testimony. He has discussed the subject matter only with his law partner, who has told confidential friends certain points that it would contain. From these it is known that the subjects quoted will be discussed, but it is impossible to get fuller details. Protesting: Against Abase of O'Brien. Dublin, Feb. 4.—An immense'mass meeting was held in Phoenix park yesterday to protest against the government's treatment of Mr. O'Brien in Clonmel jail Resolutions were passed and speeches made calling upon the government to stop the proceedings which endanger Mr. O'Brien's life and must certainly lead to public disorder. Detective Goyer and Lieut. Scott hurried up staire. Stretched on the bed, with his eldest son peacefully sleeping at his side, Kayser was gasping, while the blood poured out of his throat over the sheets and pillow cases. He had cut his throat the moment his wife fled down stairs. He lived but a few minutes. His wife has a small chance of re- Mr. Townsend will, at the first opportunity, call up the army appropriation bill, and Mr. Crisp has two contested election cases on hand which he has been endeavoring to have considered for the past three weeks. The Nicaraguau conference report is on the table and Mr. Clardy will call it up as soon as possible. The report is likely to give to an extended debate. As the session draws to a close the bills that are being pushed forward are so numerous that any of them may at any time engage the attention of the house to the exclusion of measures assigned a given time for consideration. John C. New and Attorney General Michener held a two hours conference with Gen. Harrison, and there is little doubt but that New'a appointment as secretary of the treasury was the subject of conversation. Evidences of Gen. Harrison's kindly feeling toward New are coming out every hour, and politicians believe that Senator Allison's declination has given Indiana a oabinet appointment Mr. New left for New York to-day, and it is generally believed that he is the bearer of an important message to Warner Miller from the president-elect That no strikers were engaged in the melee may fairly be assumed from the fact that they have no quarrel with the Twenty-third street line in particular. It was very generally conceded by the policemen that it arose from the pranks of several hundred youngsters, who could pot be clubbed out of existence.Evansville, Ind., Feb. 4.—George Heidel, a young farmer, residing about nine miles below this city, lost his life in a singular manner. Adjoining his farm was that of William Tompkins, a negro, who for several days past has been engaged in clearing up a piece of new ground. Knowing him to be very superstitious, Heidel resolved upon a practical joke, and at night he rushed from a hiding place, robed in a white sheet The negro in his fright struck out with an ax he held in his hand, splitting the head of the unfortunate joker squarely open to the shoulders, killing him instantly. A Joktr'i Frightful D«ath. CnmmlMlona In th« Mlllt.la. I. First of all thero is the now convert's joy. It is no tamo thing to become a Christian. The most tremendous moment in a man's life is when he surrenders himself to God. Tho grandest time on tho father's homestead is when the boy comes back. Among the great throng who in tho parlors of this church professed Christ one night was a young man who next morning rang my door bell and said: "Sir, X cannot contain myself with the joy I feel; I came hero this morning to express it. I have found more joy in five minutes in serving God than in all tho years of my prodigality, and I came to say so." What passed between Annie Klaus and her murderer just before he shot her will never be known. covery. Albany, Feb. 4.—Commissions have been issued by the commander in chief to Charles Muecke as first lieutenant of the Ninth regiment, Walter Bryant Hotchkiss as second lieutenant of the Twenty-second regiment, William T. Gouch as captain, and Henry Deike as first lieutenant of the Seventy-first regiment.  On the Sixth Avenue line there was some disturbance in Carmine street, but none of any consequence. Montreal, Feb. 4.—Joseph A Moore is here, and detectives are on a hot trail for him. A representative of the estate of Eugene Wetherill, Emma Abbott's husband, is here trying to got him arrested on account of a real estate transaction. Some months ago Wetherill purchased a block here for $38,- OIX), paying the money over to Moore as the agent for the Connecticut Mutual Insurance company, who owned it, and it is believed he never properly accounted for it, and the title is therefore in jeopardy. When the news of Moore's downfall became known his daughter, Julia, who was attending school at Smith college, started at once for home. She arrived just as her father was preparing to fly to Canada, and, wit lout unpacking her trunk's, she decided to go with him, and go she did, in spite of the protests of her family. Mr. M»»ore In Montreal. GROVKR CLEVELAND, ATTORNEY AT LAW. The Fourth Avenue line ran sixty-seven cars until t) o'clock. To-day it will attempt to send out its regular number. Capt. Ryan will make an effort to see Second avenue cars safely along to-day, and the Broadway have informed the police that they will run until 9 o'clock in the evening. A N«w Copper Vein. The following official statement from the executive mansion reached the United Press bureau: President Cleveland will return to the state of New York to reside on the expiration of his term of office, and will, on March 5, resume the practice of his profession in New York city, having associated himself as counsel with the law firm of Bangs, Stetson, Tracy & MacVeagh. New Haven, Feb. 4.—A new and promising vein of copper ore was struck on Saturday in the copper mine of the Bristol Copper and Silver Mining company, on the 180 foot level. The workmen were engaged in running a side drift from the old tunnel, when a rich showing was discovered in one corner of the drift Further investigations revealed a large and well stocked vein. The discovery is of great importance to the mine owners, and promises to prolong the profitable working of the mine lor an indefinite length of time. Discouraging Outlortlc for Miiifrn. Wilkesbakre, Pa., Feb. 4.—Out of SO,000 mine laborers in the Luzerne district, only 9,000 obtained steady work during January. Tfcu falling off of# wages as compared with the same month last year is $97,335. The outlook for February is still worse. Business of all kinds is greatly depressed. A Whole Family Drowned. Whatever aspect matters assumed during the past week, it developed yesterday that the real flght for the supremacy has not yet been fought. All talk now of a conference has ceased, and tlje men l»ve settled dowij into dogged resistance. At their headquarters the idea was scouted that many of the Knights were showing the white feather, and they rather flatly contradicted the claims of the companies that the men were coming to them. Bismarck, D. T., Feb. 4.—The warm weather which lias prevailed in this section has so honeycombed the ice in the Missouri river that travel is beset with great danger. An entire family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs, Olsen and three children, are reported to liave been drowned while attempting to cross the river in a wagon, fifteen miles north of the city. The team broke through the ice and pulled the wagon and occupants with them. There was no one present to rescue them, and the swift cvirrent carried them away before a man who saw them from the shore coiild reach them, You have soen, perhaps, a man running for his physical liberty and the officers of the law after him, and you saw him escape, or afterward you heard tho judge had pardoned him, and how great was the glee of that rescued man; but it is a very tamo thing that, compared with tho running for one's everlasting life—tho terrors of tho law after him, but Christ coming in to pardon and bless and rescuo and save. You remember John Bunyanin his great story tells how the Pilgrim put his fingers in his ears, and ran, crying: "Life, lifo, eternal lifel" A poor car driver in this city somo years ago, after having had a struggle to support his family, suddenly was informed that a large inheritance was his, and there was joy amounting to bewilderment; but that is a small thing compared with tho experienco of ono when ho has put in his hands tho titlo deed to tho joys, tho raptures, tho splendors of Hcuvcn, and ho can truly say: "Its mansions aro mine, its temples aro mine, its songs are mino, its God is mine!'' IjOOKINO FOR A SUBURBAN RETREAT. The Capital says that President-elect Harrison is negotiating for a country seat at Avenal, Montgomery county, Md., which is ton miles northeast of Washington, on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Ten I'ernonit Dron London, Feb. 4.—The British Ft earner Lymington was wrecked at Ilfrancombe, in County Devon. Before a rescue of those aboard of her was possible the steamer rolled on her side and sank. Ten persons were drowned. Their cries for help could be heard on shore. Newbubg, N. Y., Feb. 4.—The second annual state convention of the Young Women's Christian Association of New York state will be held in this city Feb. 15 to 17. Willi.un IHaikie will address one of the meetings on the subject of "Physical Culture." Mis« Nettie Dunn, national secretary of the Young Women's Christian association, will take part Miss Reynolds, of the Brooklyn association, and Miss Rebecca Morse, of New York, will also be present and participate.
