RUN DOWN BY A HORSE CAR.
His Left Arm “for. Badly Crushed. and
Paralysis llesulted—The Shock to
His Nervous Systenl Was Too
Great to Be Overcome.
NEW YORK. Feb. 11..—James Redpath,
the famous Irish nationalist, journalist
and lecturer, and the vice president of the
Anti-Poverty society. who was run down
by a Fourth avenue horse car opposite the
postoflice, died at 9:05 a. in. Tuesday, at
St. Luke‘s hospital, from the effect of his
injuries. Mrs. Redpath and her daughter,
Mrs. Sanner. \vere at his bedside when he -
died. and had been with him ever since
Monday morning. Dr. Robert Abbe, the
visiting surgeon at St. Luke’s, was also
present.
The accident which caused the death of
Mr. Bedpath occurred 'last Friday after-
noon. He was
crossing Park row
to the postoflice,
near the corner of
Beekman street.
when he found
himself directly in
front of a Madison
avenue car and his
way blocked by a [3/1. '

knocked down and thrown under the car,
which dragged him for some distance be-
fore it was brought to a standstill.
Paralysis and Shock.
The wheel of the car passed over the left
arm as it was bent inward. bruising and
lacerating all the smaller bones and crush-
ing the muscles. which resulted in pa—
ralysis of the arm and almost the entire left
side of the body. The accident also caused
a terrible shock to the nervous system,
and the physicians at St. Luke’s could at
no time pronounce him out of danger.
Monday his condition for the first time
seemed to improve. and at night the bul-
letins were encouraging.
Dr. Abbe thought that his arm as well
as his life might be saved with proper care.
Early Tuesday morning, however, he be-
gan to sink rapidly, and the nervous en-
ergy which had kept him up during all the
days of his terrible suffering finally began
to fail. During his last moments he was
apparently free from pain, and his death
was calm and peaceful. ’

and editor, and was long connected with
The New York Tribune, for which he re-
ported the border warfare in Kansas,

[‘HE ISSUE SHARPLY DEFINED.
A Liberal Victory. in Canada’s Election
“'ould Foreshadow Annexation.
TORONTO, Feb. 11.—-Sir John Macdonald
has published an address to the electors 01
Canada, in which he says that commercial
questions are now foremost in the public
mind, as they were in 1885 and 1887, and in-
sists that the government policy is the
same now as it has been for thirteen years,
and that its object is to build up on this.
continent under the. flag of En gland a. great
and powerful nation. He adds:
“To you Canadians I appeal, and I ask
you. \Vhat have you to gain by surrender-
ing that which we possess, the privilege of
making our own treaties with foreign
countries? And in our relations with the
outside world we enjoy ”the prestige in-
spired by a consciousness of the fact that
behind us towers the majesty of England.
The great question which you will shortly
be called upon to determine resolves itseli
into this: Shall we endanger our possession
of the great heritage bequeathed to us by
our fathers and submit ourselves to direct
taxation for the privilege of having our
tariff fixed at \Vashington, with the pros-
pect of ultimately becoming a portion 01
the American union?
“I commend these issues to your deter-
mination and to the judgment of the whole
people of Canada, with an unclouded con- ;
fidence that you will proclaim to the world i
your resolve to show yourselves not un- !
worthy of the proud distinction you enjoy l
; of being numbered among the most dutiful g
and loyal subjects of our beloved queen. A l
British subject I was born, a British sub-L,
ject I will die. With my utmost strength, 3
with my latest breath, will I oppose the!
veiled treason which attempts by sordid,

l
people from their allegiance.”

became superintendent of education in
Charleston, S. C., where he founded col-
ored schools and an orphan asylum, and
established at Boston in 1808 the ltedpath
Lyceum Bureau.
A Friend to Ireland.
He was an ardent advocate of “rights in i
Ireland” and a pronounced abolitionist. ‘
He was the author of “The Roving Editor:
A Handbook to Kansas Territory” “The
Public Life of Capt. John Brown,” “Echoes
of Harper’s Ferry,” and “A Guide to
Hayti." One of his latest ventures was
Redpath‘s \Veekly, which suspended re-
cently. He has been associated of late
with The North American Review.
About three years ago Mr. Rcdpath was
stricken with paralysis, and it was an-
' nounced at one of the Anti—Poverty meet—
ings that he was dying. After a long and
lingering illness, however, he recovered,
and it was a. woman who nursed him back
to life and health. She was Mrs. Carrie
Chorpenning. of \Vashington, whom he
had long known. A few months after his
recovery had been complete, in September,
1888, Mr. liedpath and Mrs. Chorpenning
were married. She has since been a de-
voted wife, and the romance of their lives
has served to bring them closer together in
the ties of mutual affection.
Blown from a Train.
SYRACUSE, Feb. 11..—A passenger, fairly
well dressed, apparently‘about 35 years of
age. was blown by the heavy wind from a
\Vest Shore train, near Jordan, Onondaga
county. \Vhen picked up he was uncon—
scious. He was brought here and taken to
St. Joseph’s hospital, where he died. .On
his person was a card bearing the name
“Louis \Veinman.” At the hospital he
s )oke incoherently of New York and
Brooklyn, and it was gathered that he had
a mother living in one or the other of'these
cities. The impression was also gained that
the man himself had come from San Fran-
cisco.
A Law and Order Victory.
()GDEN, Utah,- Feb. 11.——The election here
resulted in the defeat of J. IV. McNutt,
regular Liberal candidate for mayor.
Turner. candidate of the Citizen’s faction,
received a motiority of 0 ion total vote of
3,200. The successful candidate was elect-
ed by a. combination of anti-ring Liberals
and Mormons. The Liberals elect the re—
mainder of the city ticket and a majority
of the city council. The vote is a victory
for the law and order element. The vote
showed the Gentiles in the city outnum-
bered the Mormons four to one.

VANDAIJA, Ills, Feb. 11.—Peter Jack-
son, the colored pugilist, stopped in this
city a few hours on his way to New Or—
leans. Hc said he did not like prize fight—
ing and intends to quit it, but that before

A New Boston Fad.
Bosrox, Mass, Feb. 11.—A movement

has issued a. manifesto, saying, “Nova
Scotians seem in many cases to have lost =
heart when they see their own country,
with such great possibilities, bound hand .
and foot with trade restrictions and tariffs. i
that would disgrace the Middle Ages.
“All that could be done has been done by j
the government to prevent reciprocity. In ,
all their intercourse with the American
friendly and insolent spirit. The petty
customs regulation by which their fisher-
men were harasscd, excited, as might be ex-
pected, a feeling of deep irritation and re-
sentment in the American mind.
“What the Liberal party is aiming at is
to remove the barriers to continental com-
merce as far as possible; to show to our
American neighbors that we are willing to
trade with them if they are willing to
trade with us, and to enter any arrange-
ment with that object in view that would
be mutually advantageous.”
The Figures “’cre Cooked.
BUFFALO, Fob. li.~'l_‘he_re was a dramatic
scene at the mayor's office Tuesday morn-
ing when Chief Operator O’Brien, of the
police telegraph system, admitted that the
record furnished by him to the police
board in regard to ex—Superintendent of
Police Martin Morin‘s term of service was
incorrect. Morin was retired by the board
on the 21st day of January last, and was
granted a pension of $1,000 per year on the
claim that he had served twenty years on
the force. The granting of the pension
caused much adverse comment, and about
a week ago a charge was made that Morin
had served less than twenty years, and
that the figures had been “cooked.” The
police board ordered an investigation to be
held, and a careful revision of the different
terms of Morin’s service showed that he
had not served a. full twenty years. O’Brien
was. examined and broke down, making
the above admission. Commissioner Illig
denounced him in vigorous terms for “get-
ting the commissioners in a hole.” The
board then rescinded its action in giving
Morin a pension.
A Daring Piece of Work.
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.—A most. daring rob-
bery was committed in the residence of
Lewis Adler, proprietor of Adler’s Halstead
Street Opera house. The burglar was let
into the house by his wife, who is Mr.
Adler’s servant girl. As a part of the plan
he tied her to a bedstead, and then entered
the room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Adler
and. when he had frightened them into
silence by displaying a cocked revolver,
broke open a bureaudrawer and carried
off about $1,500 worth of diamonds and
other jewelry. The servant girl was ar-
rest-ed and confessed last night. The police
are searching for the burglar.
Machines Cause Trouble.
AVON, Mass, Feb. 11.—The forty lasters
in the shoe shop of John Peach quit work.
The trouble started when lasting machines
were put in, the union submitting a scale
of prices which Mr. Peach declared he
could not pay with any profit to himself.
Mr. Peach says the union men do not
want to give the machinesa-fair trial. He
declares the machines havecome to stay,
and there is no use in fighting against
them. About 300 hands are employed in
the shop.
Eaten 'by a Cat.
CLINTONVILLE, Wis, Feb. 11.—Charles
Knack, of Lecroplis, shot and killed his
wife and himself last week. The bodies
have just been found. The face of Mrs.
Knack had been partly eaten 01f by a cat
which was in the room. Knack and his
wife did not live agreeably together, and
it is supposed that the deed was done dur-
ing a quarrel. They were both advanced
in years.
A “fawning to Baggage Sinashers.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. 31., Feb. 11.—A small
trunk containing a photographer’s outfit
exploded while being transferred from the
eastern train to the El Paso train. Richard
Gensey had hold of the trunk at the time,
and was badly cut over the body, face and
head. Fred Hand and George Miller were
badly hurt. The car was blown into kin~
dling wood.
The Frame Was Empty.
DETROIT, Feb. 11.—On opening the Art.
museum last Friday the janitor noticed an
empty frame from which a. picture had
been cut by some unknown thief. The
stolen picture was a Peter Neefs, 8 by 10,
and known as the “Interior of a Gothic
Church.” It was painted in 1640 or there
abouts and was valued at $15,000.
A “'atchniun Burned to Death.
anrsnunc, Pa, Feb. 11.—The Lewis-
burg furniture factory was partially de-
stroyed by fire. The cause of the fire was
the explosion of a lantern. The flames
caught the clothing of the watchman,
Jonas Fry, who was so badly burned that
he died.
He Had £280,000, but Suicided.
l .0.\'1)0‘.- Feb. 11.—Charles Pratt, an En-

at Annccy, France, proves to have been
the heir to'a fortune of £280,000, which re-

A NEW BOARDER STORY.
A FIRST NIGHT IN A THEATRICAL
BOARDING HOUSE.
| ,. ____-__.- - .-
Why One Old Boarder Cannot. Be Expected '
to Admire the Stagev-A Harrowing Ex-
perience of One Man That May Be
Easily Duplicated Many Times.
“I s’pose I’ve never told you about that
winter I spent in West —--— street. It may
teach you something and be awarning if
you ever feel like turning into a high class
emotional actor, so I don’t. mind letting
you into the secret. I’ve been knocking
round in boarding houses so many years I
thought I knew every freak that the world
could show. I’d seen poker sharps and
bunco steerers, to say nothing of kittenish
old maids, grass widows and every other
serpent that was shut out of paradise with
Adam and Eve.
“Well, I was told that Mrs. Dolittle, in
Vl’est— street, kept a nice, quiet house,
irrepr'oachable references given and re-
quired and all the rest of it. I went there
with a Bible in my pocket, my certificate
of birth and baptism in my hand, and sev-
enteen business testimonials, in a Glad-
stone bag. Mrs. D. seemed pleased, and I
engaged a room. I was a stranger, and
she took me in. -
“The first night I spent there I knew no
one in particular, so when I went down to
dinner I tried to size up the company col—
lectively. There seemed to be an unusual
lot of young people. Four young women,
two dark and two fair; three blonde young
men, one very white, one medium, hair
short on top of his head, one red cheeked,
one lookingvery pious.
THE PEOPLE.
“Just opposite me set a. middle aged
young woman with a snub nose, who talked
all the time. I’d seen that sort before.
Very funny at other folks’ expense. Dis—
appointed in life and devoted to lies. Oh,
yes! I knew what she was like, so I just
said, ‘Quicksand,’ and passed by on the
other side. But I thought the rest of them
would bear watching. The dinner was the
I regulation meal, and when it was overI
went up to the fourth floor hall bedroom.
“I sat down and began to read the paper.
Pretty soon a low, groaning noise was
heard, evidently a woman’s voice, getting
louder and louder, till it resembled a. roar-
ing .Niagara, oh-o-o-h-A-A—H-lla, ha, ha,
ha, ha, dying away in a demoniac laugh.
It was startling, but I knew that queer
things happen in boarding houses, so I sat
still. In a. minute a new voice began, ‘Oh,
young Lochinvar! Oh, young Lochinvar!
Oh, young Lochinvar!’ There’s a maniac in
this house, I thought. I got up, examined
the lock and sat down again reassured.
Then came the sound of blows—awful
blows—not one or two, but innumerable,
and after each one a. strange shaking of the
house, as if a. body had been flung violently
to the floor. ‘There’s murder here, sure!’
said I, and rushed into the hall. Another
voice, masculine this time, trombone qual-
ity: ‘I dare do all that may become a. man.
“Who dares do more is none!’
“ ‘I say, Duke, which one you going
home with to—night?’ ‘Which one? All
three.’ ‘Oh, you! Oh, you are a masher!
How’ll you manage it?’ ‘Take Carrie
home after first act from the Star; rush up
to Daly’s and get Minnie end of second act;
go on to K. & B.’s and bring Bessie out at
121’ ‘Oh, you old sinner! Oh, you wicked
old wretCh!’ accompanied with shrieks of
laughter in mingled soprano, tenor and
bass voices.
WHAT IT MEANT.
“Once more those terrific blows, but this
time there was something queer about
them. It sounded as if some one were
jumping off a step ladder. A dismayed
feminine voice exclaimed: “Oh, Jenny, I’ve
kicked my second slipper into the street
and the first one over the folding bed!
What’ll I do?’
“ ‘I don’t know; don’t bother me. Can’t
you see I’m trying to get my lines? I’ll
speak to him like a saucy lackey—m—m
——m.’ ‘Ladies, any one at home to—night?’
‘Oh, yes; come in, Hamlet; come, in, Ham,
old boyl’ Deep contralto-‘Hamlet, thou
hast thy father much ofiended.’ Tenor—
‘Mother, you have my father much of-
fended.’
“ ‘Oh, this is awful!’ said I to myself.
“Why, the house is filled with raving,
crazy lunatics!’ Just then the girl came
up the stairs with pitchers of icewater.
“ ‘My good girl,’ I gasped, ‘in Heaven’s
name, tell me what’s the matter! “That is
it? Who’s crazy in this house? \Vhat’s
the matter with the men?’
“The girl grinned. Her name was Maria,
and a very pretty- girl she was. ‘Crazy?’
she said, ‘not a. bit of it. Why, they’re all
going on the stage.’
“ ‘All? Who?’
“ ‘Why, those four young ladies and that
fair young man you saw at dinner.’
“ ‘Which one? The one with thin hair?’
“ ‘He? Oh, dear no! He’s a sweet young
man. He has lots of friends on the stage-—
ladies, you know, and he goes every night
and takes ’em home after they come off.
Says he has to work pretty hard! Can’t
take more than four home in a night! Says
he has to work pretty hard to do that!
Never gets round to each one more than
once a week. Oh, we all love him! He
says he never means to go on the stage: he
_ knows it all by heart.’
EXPLANATIONS. ..
“ ‘Well, who are the other young men?’
“ ‘That nice fair one is a minister’s son.
He wanted to play Hamlet, but they told
him he’d do better in a. variety show. One
of those fair young ladies is what they call
an ingenue. I don’t know what that is,
but she wears garden hats and has her hair
down her back most of the time, and the
other one. she’s what they call a. song and
dance artist. She can kick six feet higher
than her own head. One of those dark
young ladies is trying to get into light
opera. '
“ ‘She had to move out of three boarding
houses. She works hard. She Sings every
night till 12 o’clock and begins every morn-
ing at 7. That other dark young lad y—
they Call her Mrs. Siddons, ’cause her
teacher says she’s got tears in her voice. It
sounds like a. sore throat to me. Why.’
added Maria, ‘every one in the house is go‘
ing op the stage ’cept that red checked
young man—~he’s a. Sunday school teacher,
and his mother won’t have it—and that
young woman that sat opposite to you.’
“ ‘And why in the name of Shakespeare
isn’t she going on?” _
“ ‘Well, you see, they say she was born
for a. critic, and a manager wouldn’t dare
to take her in his company because she’d
be sure to be shot inside of twenty-four
hours. Why, I’m studying for the stage
myself! I go and take a. lesson whenever
it’s my Thursday out—but I’ve got a broth-
ermhe’s a mean old thing—said if he ever
cauaht me on any stage, unless it was a
Fift avenue rapid transit, he’d come on

People Who Never Go to the Box Office.

near a box office to buy tickets. There was
a time when every man bought his own
But of late years press of: business
has broken up the long line which used to
stretch from the window of the ticket

are men who furnish tickets to the best
paying theatre goers of the city. Iknow
one man who has an office down town who
sells between $300 and $500 worth of tickets
every day, and when there is an opera
season or an extra attraction his receipts
are larger. Of course he. has the sanction
ofthc lcadim: houses, which furnish him
so many seats: a day. He knows his cus.
tomers, and they are people who want the
best there is in the house.
He makes selections himself, and his
patrons never complain. He knows the
coming attractions of course in advance of
the average goer, and notifies his patrons
of the dates of the same, asking how many
tickets will be . wanted, and {or what
nights. \Vbcn he receives answers, if they
are favorable. he selects the seats, and
sends the tickets by mail. The transaction
is strictly commercial. At the end of thir—
ty days he sends his bill for tickets fur-
nished, and gets his remittances promptly.
The people who patronize him pay more
for their seats than they would at the box
office, but they are willing to pay extra for
the comfort of being served. This extra. is
the compensation of the broker. It has
become a thriving business with him.”—

The Bad Compliment.
ltiscnrions to note that the bad com-
pliment. proper, in its elementary form,
constitutes the lowest and most rudimen—
tary development of humor. It has been
said that this faculty, the sense or percep-
tion of humor, is the only real mental or
moral attribute which distinguishes the
rich from the poor, and is the only pleas-
ure which the lowly'born are incapable of
sharing in some degree or other with those
above them in the social scale; but they
undoubtedly have a consciousness of the
ridiculous, apt to be tickled by the appro-
priately oral-apropos. That this should

sions which we derive from them than

A Cruel Process.
A case of secret society initiation occur-
red at Harvard only ten years ago which
passes for cruelty, if not for ghastliness.
An applicant for admission to a secret so-
ciety was taken to the gymnasium by
night, and first pulled up by tackles fast-
ened to his wrists and after that by the
thumbs. His treatment was more than
the student could stand, and he nearly died
from the effects of it.
Another case was of a more pleasant
The neophyte was led blindfolded
of Boston’s
crooked streets until he was thoroughly
mystified. Then he was taken to the high-

and made to lean over the rail, when the
blindfold was suddenly whisked off. The
sensation of that moment, the student at-
terward said, unexpectedly finding himself
in the glare of the lights and looking for

plussed when the listener retorted: f‘You
are a profound scholar; you know every-
thing. Tell me, then, why you wear those
two superfluous buttons on the back of
your coat.” Whether the China-man re-
ceived a satisfactory answer to his query or
not will probably never be known; but one
thing is certain, it set investigators to
work, and it has since been ascertained
that the two buttons are the survival of a
semi—barbaric custom, and that they were
originally sewed on to hold up a belt at a
time when every gentleman wore a sword.

I 'A Grand Excursion.
The Georgia-Alabama Investment &
Development Company has inaugu-
rated, and will conduct under its own
management and auspices, a ten days
excursion to Washington, D. C.,- Talla-
poosa, Ga, and Birmingham, Ala.
The train will leave Boston on the
evening of Tuesday, February 17, and
New York Wednesday morning. It
will be a special Pullman vestibule
train, consisting of four sleeper
coaches, one dining car, one. parlor
smoking car, with barber shop, bath
rooms, library, etc., and run over the
New York & New England, Pennsylva-
nia, and Piedmont Air Line roads.
This is the quickest, safest and most in-
teresting route for the tourist. The
trip will last ten days and all expenses
will be settled by the company and cov-
ered by $75 from Boston and $70 from
New York. The company has been led
to offer this rare excursion because of
receiving so many applications from
people who desire to visit and inspect
its properties, as an investment.
The route will be by the N. Y. it. N.

of the great battlefields and by way of
the national capitol.
Ample opportunity will be afforded
in \Vashington for the excursionists to
inspect thecity, visit Congress, etc.,
and for sight seeing in Atlanta, Bir-
mingham, and Anniston.
The train will be an exact counter-
part of the New York and Chicago
“Limited,” run on the Pennsylvania
and N ew York Central railroads, and
will be in charge of representatives of
each of the three lines of roads over
which the train will pass.
The number of cxcursionists will be,
limited to one hundred. and applica-
tions for sleeper accommodations will
be booked in the order received. The
special train will be the finest equipped
and most- magnificent that can be pro-
cured in America, and it is intended to
make the excursion one select in every
particular. and no expense will be
spared to make the. trip a delightful
one to all who shall accompany it.
The rate for this excursion has been
made at $575 per passenger, which in—
cludes railroad fare, sleeping car, car-
riage drives, meals, and every expense
for the entire trip. Tickets will be is-
sued to the excursionists on leaving
Boston. with proper coupons entitling
them to all expense during the ten
days.
The rate from New York city will be
$35 less than from Boston, or $70, and
passengers can join excursion at any
of the points named in the itinerary.
Those who desire to accompany this
excursion should write or call at the
Boston oflice of this company (41‘ once,
where diagrams are on file and sleep-
ing accommodations can be secured.
As the number that can be accommo—
dated 011 this trip is confined to one
hundred. a deposit of $15 will be re-
quired at the time of the application
and the assignment of berths. The
balance payable at the time of leaving
Boston or New York when tickets with
coupons attached, covering the entire
expense of the trip, will be delivered to
each of the excursionists.
Ladies are especially invited, and a
considerable number have already sig-
nified their intention of going.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, president
of the company, will accompany the '
excursion, it being his first visit south
of Richmond since the war, and many
of the other officers and directors of
the company will be among the num-
ber. Hon. James W". Hyatt, Treasurer
of the company, also expects to go. .
It is intended to make the excursion
a select and delightful one in every
particular. and no pains or expense will
be spared by the company to make it a
trip long to be remembered by those
who accompany it, and it will afford the
best opportunity of the year for seeing
the growth of the new South, in a way
that will not be fatiguing, but a. con-
tinual round of pleasant surprises from
time of leaving until the return, com-
pleting a trip of nearly 4, 000 miles
through the heart of the New South in
a palatial train, at an expense of $7 per
day. per passenger.
Applications for sleeping accommo-
dations should be made, enclosing $15,
as soon as possible to the Boston oflice
of the company, as the number will
probably be filled in a very short time,
and under the terms by which the spec-
ial limited train is chartered, the num-
ber must be confined strictly to one
hundred.
