The Unfortunate Man Who Opens a Stand for Easiness at the Corner of Pike and Front Streets To-Morrow—Horr Both of His Eimhs were Crushed hy the To-morrow evening Charles H. Clark will open his little place of business at the stand recently built for Hm on Front street, near Pike. He will keep fruits, nuts, confectionery, cigars, and notions, and his misfortune o f losing both legs will make every one doubly interested in his success. Mr. Clark’s life history is an interesting one. He was born in Philadelphia in 1843, and his father was blown up at a powder- mill near that city. His widowed mother then removed to Port Jervis, while he was yet a babe, and lived at or near Carpen ter’s Point. Some years later she was killed on the track not far from black rock cut by train No. 1, she having been taking his dinner to her second husband, named Bltis, who was working on the Until 12 or 13 years old young Clark was employed around town, having worked for Benjamin Yan Fleet on his farm and also in E. Slauson’s and A. Gor don’s stables. Before his mother died he ran away from home and went to Bridge port, Conn., where he found employment with P. T. Barnum, the great showman, which whom he remained three years, traveling aU over the country. Later he was two years with circusman John Eob- ioBon o f OincinnatL He then went to Denver, Col., and thence to the San Juan mountains, 450 miles southwest o f Denver, where he en gaged in silver mining aad prospecting. He worked some time in the Green Moun- tainmine, and also took up three locations. About 18 months later he left with $3,- 000 in his pocket,having sold a fissure vein near Georgetown. He next engaged in getting out ties at Mohawk, near George town, Col., for the Colorado Central road. Six months later he returned to the East, going to Albany. T h is was in 1873. He went to New Fork and took apleasure trip on one of the Anchor line steamers, landing at Glasgow, Scotland, where he remained two momhs, then went to Edinburg, and remained there three months, and there saw Qieen Victoria. Thence he went to Newcastle-on-Tyae, England, and went by slow journeys to London, Liverpool and other places in England. From Liverpool he took passage on a sailing vessel for Canada. The vessel was the ship “ City of London.” It had a tempestuous voyage, losing two sailors ovei board and four of the five rigs of sails were carried away. Althcugfa he paid $30 for his passage, the Captain compelled him to sign articles to go before the mast. The trip should have been made in three weeks, but it took six. At Montreal he got h is f 20 back and $47 besides for his labor on the vessel. He traveled all through Canada and in 1875 came to Port Jervis, and on the morning o f the ice gorge began work for Mr. A. Gordon at the Minismk House stables. Nine months later he started for California. For some time he was em ployed among the big redwood trees on the Simon Creek in Humbolt county, boarding in a house ou the stuo-p of a tree 90 leet around and 30 feet in diame- He went thence to San Francisco, and was employed by Gov. Leland Stanford taking care of his trotting horses, and later became his private coachman. He next went to Colorado, bought a horse and saddle and rode across the country to Old saddle and rode a< Mexico, and then returned through Ari zona and New Mexico to Texas, where he sold his horse and engaged with George A.

He made a grab for the dangling coupling pin of the tank but missed it, and the wheels crushed his limbi, rolling him over. Strange to say he came out under the pilot, alive and conscious—one of the most remarkable cases on record. He sayi that, while the wheels were passing ovei his Hmbs, it felt as if a thousand knives being thrust into him. He was brought to Port Jervis, and that afternoon Dr. Hunt removed the shattered bones, leaving the two stumps just below knee. Eight weeks later he was able to get around. The Erie company allowed ,him half time for a lew months, and, al though promising to care for him, left him to his fate. TWO WEDDINGS. One on Sunday Afternoon and the Other in the Evening. Joseph Roeder and Maggie May Lott were united in marriage at 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon, at the church ot the Immaculate Conception, by the Rev. M. Salley. Tne groomsman was Joseph S-eigerwald and the bridesmaid Miss Mary Hamilton. Only a few invited friends were present. The couple are residents of Sparrowbush. KADHI-SOHMIDT. Christian Ktdel and Miss Lizzie Schmidt were united in marriage at the Star Hotel at 9 o’clock Sunday evening, a clertryman from Narrowsburg officiating. The groomsmen were John Schmidt and Jacob Kadel, jr., and the bridesmaids Misses Lizzie Kidel and Paulina Tesch. The bride wore a peacock blue gown, handsomely trimmed. After the ceremony a reception and supper followed. The clergyman gave the couple a bit of good advice in a neat address, the moral of which was appre ciated by all. Many useful and handsome presents were made the bride, among them being an elegant bed-room set from J. Kadel, sr., a marble top center table from John Schmidt, a toilet set from J. Kadel, jr., a tea set from J. Kadel of the Park Hotel, a silver sugar dish, silver knives, etc., from Paulina Tesch, Mrs. DeWitt and Mrs. Fenner, and a visiting card stand from the Elias Brewing Company of New York. THAT BOIEER EXPLOSION. Funerals of tHe Victims—Speculating on the Cause of the Disaster. The body of Allen Boice, the fireman killed at Crgigville, Friday night, was brought to Port Jervis, Saturday, on the Mountain Express. Here the remains were placed in charge of undertaker Goodale who dressed them, and that evening they were placed on train No. 8 and taken to Patcbogue, L. I They were accompanied by engineers Ed. Harding and John P. Walsh, as representatives of the Fireman’s Brotherhood. The funeral will take place to-morrow evening at Patcbogue at 7.30. Tne funeral of engineer James Clark will take place Tuesday at 9.30 from the house on King street, and at 10 o ’clock from the church of the Immaculate Con ception; the remains will be interredin the cemetery at this place. The cause of the explosion is still mys terious. There is much speculation about it. Some say it -was caused by the water being allowed to get too low, another that tne iron was nearly rotten by “ mud rust,” and many others say that in all probabil ity the safety valves did not work, as is often the case. s u p e r v i s o k \ b r e n n a n d e a d . TUe Aged Newbnrger Does Not Bally from His Paralytic Stroke. Ex-Supervisor Patrick Brennan o fNew- burg, who was suddenly stricken with piralysis while down town on Thursday, died at his home in the First Ward Fri day morning, at 10 30 o’clock. He never rallied from the shock o f the stroke, and was unconscious up to the time of his death. Mr. Brennan was seventy-two years of age. He was born in Lochmore county, lipperary, Ireland, on March 14th, 1816, and came to this country in 1837, settling in Newburg. Mr. Brennan was always a prominent Democrat, and for twelve years he represented the First Ward in the Board of Supervisors. For four years he was Keeper at Washington’s head quarters. He was noted most, however, for his numerous progeny, being the father o f twenty five children, ten by his first wife and fifteen by his second wife, who survives him. Eleven o f the children are still living. One of Mr. Brennan’s sons died by a paralytic stroke similar to that of bis father .—JSewbwrg News, NEWBUBG’S FUGITIVE BANKERS. Arthur V. Wiltsie and John M. Pollock, bankers of Newburg, N. Y., who ran away from home ten days ago, leaving un- satisfied claims to the atnotmt o f $100,000, were captured in New York city Saturday and returned to Newburg, where they were lodged in jail. —Infants and chiluien’s wear in large variety at G.

She is out in all weathers, and is able to ride a mustang on a full run. The foregoing has been the rounds of the papers, and many eom- ments have been made as to the cause of her health and endurance. It is a very simple matter, when it is known that she is constantly supplied with Steele’s Little Bile Pills, which keep her liver in a healthy condition, and induce a healthy circulation of the blood, assuring her a good appetite, good digestion, and conse quently sound sleep.

The work of letting the water into the D. & H, canal, wlrch ^as txptcted to be begun on Saturday, received a temporary set back by the heavy rain of last Thurs day night. Considerable damage was done to the gates at Bolton Basin, a few miles west of this village, by the turbulent little brook, which empties there, rising rapidly and carrying down much ice and drift wood. The work of repairing the damage was begun at once and is now about remedied. This is the same spot where the big break occurred two or three years ago. The work of filling the canal was begun at an early hour this morning. If nothing else occurs to hinder the carrying out of the program, navigation will be resumed in a few days. Then look out for a blue streak of profanity from Honesdale to Rondout. Ben faharp thinks that if this current could be harnessed and utilized like electricity it would be powerful enough to run all the boats the year through and thus dispense with the patient four-legged brutes. A SHORT TEMPERANCE SERMON. The boy Doran, who was so badly frozen on town meeting night, while under the influence of liquor, on the Gilman road, will lose all o f the toes on each foot except the little ones. That he was not frozen to death is an unexplained mystery. The night was a bitter cold one. The lad who is not yet 16 years old was dropped from his sleigh at 10 o’clock in the even ing and lay in the road unconscious until 5 o’clock the next morning, seven hours, when he roused himself from the stupor and managed to crawl to the house of 'Thomas Purcell, and later was removed to his father’s residence eastof Monticello. Here is a whole temperance sermon con densed in a few words .—Monticello Watch- HEARD THE CRY OF A PANTHEB. The JeffersonvillejRgccrif says that while a man was on h is way from SbanleyPond to Roscoe place the other night, he heard on a mountain which used to be called “ Big Round H ill,’’ cries of a panther. The cries were very shrill, like those of a person in distress and at intervals o f about five minutes. Every cry seemed to be in a little different direction and nearer to him- The man, had no weapons of any kind, not even a j ick-knife with which to defend himself, and so he increased his speed to a 20miles-an-hour gait, until a safe neighborhood was reached. SUNDAY MORNING FIRE. Shortly before 6 o ’clock, Sunday morn ing, a general alarm of fire was sounded for district No. 2. It was in the roof of the Erie boiler room between the round house and the sand-house. Sparks had set fire to the roof of the room and burned a considerable holethrough. The excellent arrangements o f the company for prevent ing the spread o f fires came in good use here, and the flames were extinguished before any o f the fire companies arrived, and the damge done was only trifling. A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. Patrick Mioaham, a helper in the Le high blacksmith shop at Sayre, near Waverly, N. Y., while at work Tuesday afternoon, was struck in the left eye by a piece of red hot iron, embedding itself m the socket about two inches, burning the eye out. The iron had to be removed with a pair of tongs. The injured man was removed to the Packer hospital where he lies in a critical condition. MONTE CRISTO ^O-MORROW. At the Opera House to-morrow night the great play of Monte Oristo will be given. Mr. Benedict plays the role of the sailor, a prisoner of 16 years, Priest “ Abbe Busoni,” “ Solomon Von Gripp,” the Jew, and “ Monte Oristo.” In all his acting his emotions are realistic. He is supported by a good company. THE PRESBYTERY OF HUDSON. The Presbytery of Hmlsjn will meet in the First church at Washingtonville on Monday, April 16i:h, at 7.30 p. m.

THE GENIAL BUNSTREL CLERGYMAN DIES BY HIS OWN HAND. Driven to Despair by the Persecutions at tbe RocUville Charge- He Talces Mor phine at the New York Hotel—His Last Letter—The Trumped-up Charge Against the Man. Poor Bob Hart I Dead, and by his own hand ! Tired of life and pursued by fate, the oneJime ch^’ery minstrel, whose fame ex tended the breadth and length of these United States, and whose inimitable per formance behind the footlights brought delight and contentment to the hearts of thousands, served upon himself that last dread summons which took him into the realms of the dim hereafter. The information was made public Sat urday that the Rev. James M. Suther land, otherwise famous in years gone by “Senator” Bob Hart, of the minstrel stage, bad been found dead in bed at the Magnolia Hotel, No. 203 Chambers street. New York. It was at first reported that tbe cause of his death was heart disease, but later on it was ascertained that he died from mor phine administered by himself with the intent to take his life. Coroner Eidman found in one of the pockets of the suicide the following let ter, addressed to lawyer Russel: “ I wish to leave my dying statement as I go before my Maker. I never com mitted the crime against Stella Bnghtman. This act will be called cowardly, but my life has been blasted and I cannot blast others.ers. 1 cannot bear the thought of oth lunatic asylum and my brain is away. God bless you, Aleck Russel.

At the hearing which waste have been held at Rockville Center to-day he would have been iriu o&ph- antly acquitted. The evidence which he would have produced has never come out. His Side of the story has not been printed. If tbe examination had taken place, James Brigbtman, the father of the girl, would have been in jail before night under arrest for perjury. The truth of the matter is that Brigbtman had sworn to break Suth erland as a clergyman, oecause tbe latter would not consent to the admission to the church o f the woman he (Brigbtman) was living with.” Justice De Mott’s Court at Eockville Centre was packed Saturday with those who bad come to witness the discomfiture of “ Senator” Bob Hart, and most of those present openly expressed their disappoint ment when the announcement was made by Counsellor Morrison for the defence that his client was dead. The majority seemed to feel that they had been deprived of a treat, and few expressions of pity for the sad fate o f tbe man whom most of the people knew and bad professed to regard as a friend, were heard. He arrived at tbe hotel on Friday even ing, and insisted on drinking whisky with some frieuda In the aflernoon he re turned. His manner then was so agitated to lead his friends to believe that he had been drinking freely. He drank whisky again and finally his friend Wright took him up to his (Wright’s) room. No. 39, on the third floor, to rest awhile. There he was found dead a few hours later, and when Coroner Eidman and his deputy. Dr. Scholer, subsequently inves tigated the case they ascertained, beyond a doubt, that he had died from morphine poisoning and that he had administered tbe poison with his own hand. The sad and untimely death of “ Bob Hart ” will nowhere be regretted more than in Port Jervis, wheie he was so well known, and where he took his first start in life, now so abruptly ended. The charge lade by Stella Brigbtman unquestionably drove ’nim to commit the rash act. With his dying breath he declares it false and his most intimate friends assert that it was trumped up for the gratification ot spite. No matter who is telling the truth the accused has gone before a higher judge. Let us be more charitable than the morbid crowd who assembled in the little court room in Rockville. No matter' what his errois or shortcomings may have been, let ua throw the mantle of charity around him. True, he was not all he might have been, but he bad a heart la tbe right place for all that. Let those who are so prone to pick at his frailties re member that “ to err is human, to forgive divine.” “ Bob Hart” had many geod traits, as can be attested by the older resi dents of Port Jervis who knew him when he was in his prime. He was kind, whole-souled and generous, and ever ready to share his last dime with an ac quaintance. He died poor. That is the best proof of his liberality. He was born in Monroe, this county, 54 years ago, and is survived by bis wife, formerly Charlotte Lindley (not Price as stated the other day) of this village, and his mother and three brothers, Tbe funeral was held this afternoon at 156 Lefferts Place, Brooklyn, and the remains will be brought to this village for interment in Laurel Grove Cemetery. “ Hart” made his debut on the stage of the Variety Theatre at 600 Broadway, New York, then under the management of the redoubtable George Lea of this village. It is a singular coincidence that the death of the one and the notice of the retirement from active pub lic life of the other should have been an nounced on the same day. An excellent sketch of “ Hart’s ” early career in Port Jervis will be found in last Monday’s U nion . TO PROTECT BOB HART’S MEMORY. His BrotUer Threatens to Prosecute the Brlghtmans. All day long yesterday streams o f visi- tors and friends, poured into the quaint little cottage of JNo. 156 Lefferts place, Brooklyn, the home of the deceased evangelist, Robert Hutherland. The remains, encased in a handsome rosewood casket, rested in a corner on the parlor floor, and the face seemed natutal even in death. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2 o’clock and the body will be taken to Port Jervis to morrow for interment. Tne family continue to feel deeply ag grieved at tne charges against the de ceased, made by tne people ot Rockville Centre, and Mr. Harry Batherland, a orother of the dead man, said yesterday that as soon as possible he intended to take decisive steps toward making the Brightmans prove their assertions or stand tne consequences.— N .

E, church, yester day, was largely attended by an enthusi astic audience. The whole front of the audience room was completely packed with potted flowers, tastefully arranged, and over the pulpit were suspended in letters of evergreen “ Thrice Welcome.” A welcome hymn had been arranged and printed by the choir and was circulated among the audience. As the pastor en tered the whole congregation arose and heartily sang: * Welcome home, beloved Pastor! Earnest prayers were not in vain ; God has heard, and in His mercy Brought thee to thy charge again; Welcome home, beloved Pastor I He who calmed the waves to sleep. He who stilled the raging tempest, Led thee safely o’er the deep. Now with joy our eyes behold thee, While the dews o f heavenly grace. From our Father’s throue descending.

The subject, “ Tbe Resurrection” from the text “ Toe Lord is risen,” Luke 24:34, accompanied by “ How are the dead raised,” Cor. 6:35, was powerfully ugndled and listened to with attemionby crowded house.
