Officials from the District Attornej’s office of Brookljra, Kings county, came to Goshen, on Monday, with warrants charging Edwin North alias Norton with burglary in the first degree in that city, and insisted upon the right to arraign him and try him at once upon these charges on the ground that they were both com mitted before the robbery o f Dn Wick ham’s hcuse in Port Jervis, and the offenses were much more serious than the offense here, which at the most is but burglary in the third degree. The officials of Brooklyn state that Judge Moore once sentenced North to a 15-years’ term of imprisonment from Brooklyn, which term h e served, less the usual com- mutation for good behavior. That North is believed to be a desperate character, and that his recent depredations in Brooklyn were committed in the section of the city where Lyman 8. Weeks was shot and killed by a burglar, were rea sons why the officials and complainants insisted upon the transfer of North to Brooklyn, and he was taken to that city Monday. 'The charge here in this county will be prosecuted to indictment when the Grand Juiy meets in April next at Newburg, and i f North is not for any reason tried and sentenced from Brooklyn, he will be detained there and forthwith returned to be tried on the charges pending against him in this county. It seems from tbe statement of the Brooklyn officials that North is an old offender who has of late been enabled to evade the police of tua'. city, and it was not until he was bvougiit to this county, tliat Police Superintendent Campbell of Brooklyn discovered that he was the of fender for whom fruitless search had been made a long time. The officers who came for North were immediately recognizxl by him,and when they informed him that they bad properly and some of tbe pawn tickets represent ing the property which he had stolen from the different residences from Brooklyn, and that bis early conviction was assured by such positive evidences of bis guilt, North simply remarked that “ he under stood his business,” and cheerfully re turned to Brooklyn, N. T. It is probable that North will be ar raigned before Judge Moore of the Court of General Sessions to daj', and that his trial will very soon follow; and as Judge Moore has once before sentenced him, it is probable that but little mercy will be shown him in this occasion. In iusUee to Dr. Wickham, it is but fair and rignt to add that he has stood firmly and courageously, and incurred much expense and great mental suffering as the prosecutor and complainant against North; and the transfer of North to Brooklyn, while it necessarily relieves the Doctor of much anxiety and annoy- jincc, yet he will persistently follow up and willingly continue the prosecution. The act of the Brooklyn officials was a matter over which the Doctor and his friends had no control, and as the punish ment which North will receive at Brook lyn will double that which he could possi bly receive here, the friends of Dr. Wickham can congratulate themselves on a continued riddance of this most danger- i)us character. W H A T T H E B L IZ Z A R D D I D . The r<)Of of Moses Van Auken’s house near Ooleville, N. J., was blown off dur ing the blizzard of Monday night of last week.

It is a total A man whose last name is Simpson and whose first name, could not be learned, was killed Monday morning at 3 o’clock, L- Morse colliery crossing o f the Jeffer son branch of the Erie railroad not far from Carbondale. He was badly muti lated. It is said that he was intoxicated and the engineer saw him upon the track, but could not stop his train in time to prevent running over him. He was from Forest City and has a brother in Carbou- dale. It is supposed that he was going home and was so stupefied on the way that he lay down upon the track. The remains were taken to Carbondale. An Erie conductor informs T hk U nion that the only change of names recently noted on the Delaware division are: Brie Junction (not Summit, as previously stated, but which is Summit yet) to Linesboro; bridge No. 9, between Nar- rowsburg and Mast Hope, to Tusien.

J., March 19, living with George Moody, with whom she had eloped from her home in Binghamton a mouth ago. The husband confronted the woman in a second ward bearding house with Chief of Police McChesney of Trenton, and ex- Sheriff Black of Binghamton. She cried aloud for mercy and forglvenes.s, but Mr. Ciisey was deaf to her. He married her seventeen years ago and lived happily with her until last Sum mer, when she met Jloody at a festival. In Trentoii Moody worked at haruess- makiog. A brother of Casey’s was on the Philadelphia base ball club last year, and another was with tbe Newark, N. J„ H E N R Y B E R G H ’.S W I L L . The will of the late Henry Bergh was filed for probate in New York, Monday. One singular thing about the will is that its codicils, two iu number, have but one witness each, which under the statute precludes them being probated. These defects, however, do not affect the will. The testator bequeaths a lot of land with buildings, in Warren street, to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The remainder o f his properly goes to his family. The testator requests his nephew, Henry Bergh, to devote his life to the humane work of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals. WHY THIS DIFFERENCE? Some o f our merchants get their crock ery shipped from the factories at Trenton, N.

The old folks’ concert, given at the Presbyterian church, Tuesday evening, was one of the pleasantest entertainments afforded the people of Port Jervis this season. The evening was a little wet, but this did not prevent .a large turoout. The church was not over-crowded, but all the seating capacity was utilized in the nave of the church as well as in the gal- The church was made to appear some what antique with an old-fashioned fire place, plants and wax candles. The char acters who figured in the exercises, were also antiquated iu appearance. They were attired in seventeenth century costumes, and betrayed many of the characteristics of thc-ir two-liundred-years-ago ancestors. The audience was not only large but intelligent and appreciative. When a good point was made it was promptly recognized and applauded. There were many good things in the large program, whitch kept the audience iu good cheer, and dispelle 1 tbe monotony that usually creeps into exercise.s of this class. There were some boys in the audience, however, who succeeded in making t'iemgelve.s con- spicuously disagreeable, by keeping up an almost constant clapping of bauds to the annoyance of both the actors nod the audience. Boysthat are just smart enough to go out and make themselves so con spicuous in places of this kind, would be better oft' in bed or in a private lecture room with an instructor on morals and gentlemanly conduct.

Prof. Tunehyster being hoarse from the effects of a cold was unable to sing bis solo, but read the beautiful words of tbe old, familiar song. Eliab Overfleld substituted, “ The Boy” for ‘ The new church organ,” between the licst and second parts, giviug as a reason that he was more familiar with the former than with the latter Eliab got in many good points during the exercises, and did much to keep up the spirits of the exercises and the aucllenco. Prof. Tune- liyster’s hoarseness did not interfere with his ability to sway the rod, and keep the choruses in perfect time. The exercises were all well rendered and some of them are worthy of special mention' There were frequent encores and almost every exercise was tecelvtd with evidence of hearty appreciation. The audience joined the clioir near the close ill singing the “ o‘d hundred dox- ology,” and made the old edifice fairly tremble with air vibiatioiis. This ended the exercises, and the happy listeners wended tlieir way througli wet streets t<> their clieerful fire.sides. —In these days of r,dultemtlou, we think it is good policy to use that which y o u k n o v /lob e strictly pure.

Engineer John Roney died at hia resi dence on East Division street at 8.15 this morning, of consumption, aged 38 year?, 11 months and 6 days. The funeral will probably take place on Sunday, although the arrangements have not yet been com pleted. Mr. Roney was born in New York city, and he was the youngest child o f Martin and Anna Rooney. The parents died when he was very small, and the children became separated, so that it is not known where any o f the others are, Mr. Roney had been connected with the Erie road many years, and had run an engine on the Eastern division for a long time. He was one o f the most careful and reliable engineers, and was held in high esteem by the railroad company. During the past two years he had been suffering with consumption, but he re mained at his post on his engine until last fall, when he became so weak that he could no longer attend to his duties. He was a good citizen and neighbor, and the family have the sympathy of the com munity in their affliction. He is survived by his wife and one child, Willie, aged about six years. THE TELEPHONE DECIfilON. The B ell Patent Made Valid and the Monopoly Made Stvongev. Four of the nine Supreme Judges, or less than a majority of the Supreme Court of the United States, Monday concurred iu a decision sii^taiaing the validity of the Bell telephone patents. Tbe decision, though only' that of minority, will stand as the final decree of the Court, as Jus tices Gray and Lamar did not sit in the case, thus reducing the number of Judges on the bench to seven, four of whom were In favor of sustaining the patents and three —Bradley, Field and Harlan—uniting iu a dissenting opinion. It is unfortunate that the patent is sus tained by a margin too narrow to carry with the decision the cordial acquiescence of the public, which is taxed to pay an enormous royalty for the use of this now very necessary instrument. The decision of Monday covered five cases and reviews the charges that Bell secured his patent by stealing Ins rival’s inventions, as well as the claim that Reis, Drawbaugh and others had made pi’actic- ally the same invention prior to Bell. The dissenting opinion of the three min ority Judges is founded upon the Draw baugh claim. They were of the opinion that Drawbaugh was the first inventor o f tlie speaking telephone, allhougU at the lime unconsoious of its value. SULLIVAN COUNTY ITEMS.

Tlio case of mayhem, developed yester day afternoon at the Ellis Honse in this place, has suddenly collapsed. The cannibal Cooper who chewed the nose from his friend Simoud, as stated yesterday, was held in the lock-up, last night. Constable Harneit had found him in the reai\ car of train Nine, just as that train was ready at 3 p. m., yesterday, to .start out, aud he lodged him in the “ cooler.” During the afternoon the Pond Eddy quarrymen, who are interested in the ca.'e, held a council of war or of peace, as the sequel proves, ai:d induced the badly lacerated Simond to make no appearance against the prisoner Cooper. What the considerations were that so suddenly brought this state of belligerency to one of amity, is known best by the parties themselves. But certain it is that Cooper was released from the lock-up, and, so far as we can find out, the parlies are now in blissful long-range contempla tion of Port Jervis whisky at their respec tive domiciies m Pond Eddy.

The Depew strength comes very largely from counties that say they were for Blaine, but have substituted Depew. The Lincoln strength comes much in the same way. The Depew sections are Albany, Oswego, Schoharie, Putnam, Orleans, Montgomery, Schenectady, Otsego, Orange, Erie, Richmond, Kings, Queens and Sul livan counties.

At about 11 o’clock that forenoon he started for homa The snow was so deep that, when he got part the way up the mountain, he could get no farther with the sleigh, and he un hitched his team. About one-fourth of a mile from home he was met by his hired man, Barnes. Tbe hoy who goes around with Mr. Seeley nearly perished by this time. The snow banks were so deep that they could get the team no further, and they started with the boy for the house. They had to rub him for nearly an hour before he recovered.
