Frank Dalrymple, living ingr over H i m - T h e Body FriK h tfally M a n g led-C o n flicting Opinions as to apple tree. H o w It H a p p e n e d . j trace of the hirds was obtained until Charles Speidel, ae:ed 17 years, son of conductor Martin Speidel of the Delaware division, was killed by the cars in the upper end of the Brie yara in this place, at about 5.30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. The mangled remains were found lying along the track in a switch and near a “ frog ” by some of the men on conductor Hoar’s train, which was being made up to go out, some of the cars of which had run over him. No one saw the accident. One theory was that he had caught his foot in the “ frog \ and was unable to get out of the way of the cars that were backing down. Another was that he jumped from a ca boose and fell under the wheels. Another theory was that hq had been putting on brakes on a flat car and fell to the track. The body was removed to the undertak ing establishment of Oarley & Terwilliger, and Coroner Marsh was summoned. A jury was impanneled and the inquest will he held to-night, after the return of con ductor Hoar’s gang. The wheels had run over the left ankle and thence up to the tight thigh and upon the body, crushing the latter terribly. Conductor Speidle was formerlyflagman on conductor Hoar’s train, by which the lad was killed. The funeral will take place at 11 o’clock to-morrow forenoon, from the house at Germantown and the remains will be in terred at Quarry Hill. A W E E E P E E S E E V E D E A M I I iY . There Is living in Rockland county a family, four members of which have passed the age of four-score years, and all in apparently perfect health. The name of this family is Gurnee, and the respect ive ages are as follows: Catharine L. Gurnee, living at Spring Valley, 91 years; Hannah Gurnee, at Nyack,in her ninetieth year ; Halstead Gurnee, residing at pres ent at Goshen, Orange county, in bis ninetieth year, and a married sister, Abi gail Onderdont, living near Pomona, Rockland county, aged 93 years. Hannah and Halstead Gurnee, in their ninetieth year, are twins. The father of this family was Gen. Benjamin Gurnee, who was born Nov. 11th, 1767, and who died about 30 years ago. Their grandfather, John Gurnee, was one of the first settlers of Rockland county, and was born in 1729. A N A U T H O E I T X O N D O G S . 01. Carpenter, the Front street market- man, in addition to being a graat fisher man, is now becoming a famous dog con noisieur. He has a Gordon setter that he declares he would not take $100 for, and a few days ago he received from New York a famous setter with a record so long that it nearly paralyzed Mr. Carpen ter. He is of the opinion that it goes back to somewhere near the flood, and we suspect he would be claiming a still more ancient lineage were he not fearful that he would be accused of unpardonable anachronism. TUNNEBING H A W K MOUNTAIN. The workmen in the employ of the Ontario and Western, who are tunneling at the famous Zig Zig at Hawk Mountain, near Walton, are down 154 feet in the first well. Rock was found most of the way, and makes the outlook therefore favorable for tunneling. Saturday as a boring machine was being moved, one of workmen, whose name was not learned, had his head caught between the machine and a tree. The head was cut badly and his left ear was nearly severed. BUEGBAEY AT COBEVTCBBE. The general store of Timothy Vail at Coleville, Sussex county, N. J., was ent ered and robbed, Friday night. Goods to the value of $28, mostly boots, shoes and jiocket knives, were taken. The thieves gained an entrance by breaking out a por tion of one of the front windows. EBOW EES AND FUNERAB DESIG NS.

Last night an elderly man from up the -country stopped at one of our leading hotels and after retiring remembering he had not taken a dose of Kemp’s Bal sam, he rose to get it, and noticing the strong smell of gas, shut it off, and fatal •coDstquences were avoided. Did Kemp’s Balsam save his life ? It has saved the lives of many suffering with coughs and molds. At all druggists’, at 59 cents the following Sunday, seven days later, when the peculiar actions of a dog led to an investigation of a snow bank near the barn, and digging into which they found the turkeys huddled together, alive and apptr nlly well. Robert G. Snook of Lafayette, Sussex county, had two large birds that had long roosted in a tree near the house. March 12th and 13th they refused to leave the tree. On the 14;h bo’h were missing. Late that afternoon one of the birds was found, nearly frozen to death, under a stack of corn. On Thursday of the fol lowing week the other was found in a snow bank, alive and well. Raymond Snyder, a neighbor of Mr. Snook, also lost a 30-pound gobbler. Hearing about Mr. Snook finding his m a snow-bank, he made search for his own bird, and digging around the tree, found it in a bank. It was in good condition. D EATH OF CHAEBES BOGES. Charles Loges, aged 18 years and 6 months, died at 3 o’clock this morning of lencocythemia, at the residence of Michael Schauer of Germantown. He was the only son of the late Adolph Loges, and the lad IS survived by no relative except an uncle in New York or Brooklyn. Since the death of the father, about two years ago, the boy had lived with his guardian, Mr. Schauer, and the latter and hia family have for months watched by the bedside and have done everything in their power for the young man’s comfort. The fun eral will take place on Friday at 2 p. m. from the house and at 2 30 from the Lutheran church. COAB IN DUTCHESS COUNTY. William Tanner is developing a coal mine on hia far m in the town of La Grange, in Dutchess county. The coal is found a t a depth of thirteen feet and although the vein is not large it is hoptd that it will be come larger as greater depths are reached. The coal is not as heavy- as anthracite hut it burns with a bright, clear flame, It is not probable that the mine will ever amount to anything from a commercial standpiint but Mr. Tanner may be able to supply his own need. DO SOM ETHING OE GET OUT. Many people would like to know what has become of that sewer commission for this place. Year after year the earth, particularly in the lower part of town, is becoming saturated with the filth of cess pools and offal, and one of these days the wells, reeking with vileness, will precip itate an epidemic, even if the air itself does not become polluted enough to do so. It is high time this commissionjdid some thing, or else made way for another that will. FEKSONAB. —Mr. L. P. Farmer, the gentlemanly General Passenger Agent of the Erie road, made a call at T he U nion office to day.

The Speaker of the Assembly has an nounced that all passes to the floor were revoked and that only memhera or officials would be admitted to the floor for the re mainder of the session except by a resolu tion of the House.

The Press of New York has obtained the views upon the tariff bill of 74 mayors repres-nting a population of 1.088,399, according to the census of 1880, and probably 1,2-50 000, as thing.s stands to day.

A merrier gathering is not often seen. The younger people amused themselves by playing various games while the older ones held converse with each other, until long in the stilly hours of night, when they partook of a bountiful repast which the hosteis had prepared for them. After which, amidst the jingling of sleigh bells and peals of laughter, they started for their respective homes. John Facine is making good time in the saw mill, and is turning out some fine lumber.

A Certificate of Illness f rom H is F h v s ician. Talceii to E o ckville Center and H e ld in B a il—\What He h a s to Say on th e Subject. At Rockville Centre, L. L, the Rev. J. M. Sutherland, “ SenatorBob Hart,” was held Tuesday in $1,000 bail for examina tion on Saturday next. When the pri soner appeared before Justice Demott he was accompanied by ex-Justice Olemence Matthews, Benjamin A. Morrison and Francis Russell of Brooklyn. The Tribune says he is a stoutly built man of fifty-two, with a clean shaven face and dark hair, sprinkled with gray. On Friday the wanant for hia arrest was issued, charging him with assault on Stella Brightman, daughter of James Brightman of Rockville Centre. Ever since then Constable Theodore Wright has been looking for him. Mr. Matthews found Hart at Mr. Rus sell’s house, No. 123 Lewis street, Brook lyn. He had a talk with him and was finally persuaded to act as counsel in con cert with Mr. Morrison. Hart or Suther land, was sick, and when urged by Mr, Matthews to appear and answer the charges against him, replied that his phy sician, Dr. P. D. Leyes, had positively forbidden him to leave the house. Mr. Matthews insisted, and finally he says the doctor consented, giving at the same ) time a certificate that his patient was suf fering from bronchial trouble. This, Sutherland says, was the reason he did not appear before. To a reporter Sutherland said : “ I would prefer to maintain silence upon this subject until it comes up regularly, when I am examined in court. I shall remain here at the house of my friend, Mr. Russell, until Saturday. AN OTHBE P I E E AT BIBEETY . A correspondent of the Middletown Press says that Liberty has once more suffered a disastrous fire. The large and handsome boardmg house of 0. M. Bin- nell took fire Saturday morninff, about 10 o’clock, and was burned together with a partially completed dwelling belonsing to the Weber brothers of that place. Bon- nell’s residence was valued at $3,500; Insured for $1,750. The Weber building, $700; no insurance. The Hook and Ladder Company did some noble work, saving an adjoining dwelling house. FA EM EES FIG H T IN G T H E I E FE IE N D S Judging from the statement in the New ton Herald last week, Deckertown people have not outgrown the idea that crows ought to be exterminated. A raid was made on a large flock of t’neae birds roost ing near that place, the other night. The farmer who has not yet learned that nearly all birds, including crows, do more good than harm, is sadly behind the times, and ought to investigate the matter instead of accepting the worn-out abiurdities handed down to him. IT KIBBS T H E M EVERY T IM E . Joseph Lamora and Harry Wells, about 17 years old, while playing in an upstairs room at Glen Falls, Sunday, found two revolvers. They began snapping them at each other, supposing them to he empty. The fifth time Wells snapped his revolver Lamora dropped to the flior. a bullet having struck him just above the left eye.

Four gangs have been laid off the Dela ware division. Railroad men are specu lating, in groups all around the d« pot, as to the ciuses of the sudden stoppage of the excessive freight traffic, and some are inclined to think that it is only remotely connected with the strike but is intended more as a menace to the men. Hiram F. McMullen, ear inspector on the N. Y.. O. & W. railroad, while in specting a car at Sidney at 3 30 Tuesday afternoon, was run over and instantly killed. He was 46 years old and unmar ried, but leaves an aged mother dependent. A dispatch from Harpursville to the Binghamton Republican says that a dis astrous wreck occurred at the Harpurs ville switch on the Jefferson branch of the D. & H. Canal company’s railroad Tues day morning about 2 o’clock. An empty coal train running at a rapid rate collided with a loaded coal train running toward Nineveh Junction. The engines were thrown from the northeast side of the track and carried four cars witji them. Both engines and the four cars were com pletely wrecked. Two of the cars were loaded with coal and the black diamonds are strewn over the engines and along the track. The fireman, Bernard Carpenter, was severely Injured in jumping from the train, by strising his side on the fence post at the cattle guard near the “ Harpur Manor ” croasing. It is eported that he is severely injured internally and may die. He lived at Carbondale, Ra. No it her person was hurt, all having jumped 'rom the train before the collision. The oiame is laid upon the oispatcher, who, it IS claimed, had ordered the empty coaler to leave Nineveh Junction before the coal train from Carbondale had reported.
