THE NEWEST SCHEME OF THE HBER- PARK EI.ECTKIC LIGHT COHrPA3Snr. A Plan to Heat Port Jervis by Steam. Pipes to be Laid tliroiigli the Streets and Radiators Placed in Private and Public Buildings. The Deerpark Electric Light Company is now considering the project o f heating Port Jervis by steam. This is a big project, but it is considered feasible. Already the company has looked over the grounds pretty thoroughly, and is satisfied that the scheme is entirely feasi ble, and it now seems quite likely that it will be fully carried out. The plan is to generate steam at the electric light works, when another large boiler will be added as soon as it is found necessary. Pipes will be laid through the streets and then connected to public build ings and private residences, into which as many radiators will be placed as the own ers or occupants desire. By this means it is thought that houses can he more thoroughly warmed than by the present annoying method of using stoves and being bothered with coal and cinders and ashes, and at less expense. We understand that the electric light company purposes soon making a canvass of the place, with a view of ascertaining the probable number of customers that could be relied on, in case the company finally decides—as it now thinks it will— to go right ahead with the project. LOCAL LA\VI« TENNIS. Tlie Port Jervis Association Beginning its Summer Season Exercises. The Port Jervis Tennis Association Opened the season of '88 on the grounds of Mrs. Josephine Brodhead, Broome and Elizabeth streets, on Saturday afternoon. There was a good attendance. The association has now a membership of about 80 persons and the prospects for a lively season o f this healthful sport are very bright. Its grounds contain two courts now and a third one is in contem plation. A summer house adorns the cen tre of the ground, and numerous seats have been built beneath the trees, which are numerous about the courts. The ground, outside the courts, is covered with a rich matting of grass, and the view from it o f the Delaware valley and hills beyond forms by no means the least o f its attrac- The West End Club, which has its court on the grounds o f Mr. Geo. Malven, is in active operation this year ; most of its members, however, belonging to the Association as well. The Junior Club composed of young players, will be in the field, and with all this array o f tennis talent it is safe to say that the blazer and racquet will be famil iar sights on our streets this summer. WISE POLITICAL “ DOFTS” STTHOEN HEATH LAST NIGHT. \ A u n t M a r y ’* C o n n ers D ie s o f E n la r g e m e n t o f tlie H e a r t , A g e d TiS T e a r s . Mary Conners, aged 75 years, and by her relatives and friends Known as “ Aunt Mary,\ died very suddeoly last night at 10.10, at the residence of her brother-in- law, James Gleason, on East Division street. Sunday she had been around as usual, and came home in the evening, apparently as well as ever, and sat up and talked with the family until nearly 10 o’clock, when all retired. In a few minutes she awoke her niece, Miss Katie Gleason, by her heavy breathing. The latter spoke to her and shook her, hut the only word she Uttered was the exclamation, “ Oh!’’al though she was apparently conscious of her suffering. The others of the family were quickly called, but she died almost before any of them could get into the room. Dr. Hunt was summoned, and said she died of enlargement of the heart.' He had examined her last fall, and found her suffering with this ailment then. The deceased was unmarried. She was born in the county Leitram, Ireland, and had resided in this country about 35 years, and during the past 17 years had made her home in the family of her brother-in- law, Mr. Gleason, whose first wife was her sister. She is survived by a brother in Scotland and by a sister in Port Jervis, Mrs. Martin McCall of Germantown, and by two nieces, the Misses Annie and Katie Gleason, and a nephew, Eddie Gleason, who deeply mourn her loss. She had a great many friends iii town. The funeral will take place Wednesday at 2. p. m. from Mr. Gleason’s residence, and at 2 80 from Sfc. Mary’s church; in terment in St. Mary’s cemetery.

BOB BURDETTE’S ADVISE TO A VOUNG MAN ABOUT TO VOTE. Sit Down anti Tliink Before Vou Vote.

My son, you will cast your first vote for President next November. I don’t want to influence your vote; I don’t want you to vote for a certain man just because other men do. I want you to sit down and thiuk about it before you vote. I want you to bo able to give a reason for your vote. I want you to go to the polls in good company. As a young man of pro gressive ideas, I want you to be abreast with the world and shoulder to shoulder with tho times, when you walk to the polls. I want you on entering politics, to align with the party that has the purest and most progressive record. I don’t care a cent, my boy, whether you are a Repub lican or Democrat. There are honest men, patriotic citizens, good Christians, in both parties. Only I don’t want to see you walk up to the pools and cast your first vote with the party : That upheld slavery as a divine institu- ' That bought and sold men, women and babies like so many mules; That fired on Port Sumter and the American flag; ^ That for nearly five years fought to destroy the Union; That opposed the issue of greenbacks when the government was fairly perishing for the want of them. That organized mobi and riots to oppose the drafts; That swept American commerce from the seas with armed privateers; That 18 the party of Boss Tweed and Jefferson Davis ; That polls its heaviest majorities in the most vicious and ignorant precincts; That is the strongest in the states where the percentage o f illiteracy is the greatest; That has opposed every liberal and pro gressive measure of legislation during the last quarter of a century; That was a defender of slavery; That was a defender o f Mormonism; That slandered Garfield; and That assassinated Lincoln! Now, as I said before, my son, I don’t care whether you are a Republican or Democrat. Choose for yourself. Just keep away from the crowd whose record I have briefly outlined. Find the party to whom this record belongs, and then forever keep away from it. You need not be particular with which party you unite, if you don’t join that one. Always vote against that party, and you will always vote about right. I am a Republican, but I will shake hands with fraternal love with any Democrat who votes against that record. That kind of a Democrat is al ways a good enough Republican for me. P, 8.—^I have never found that kind of a Democrat. T H E INCANDE*SCBNT L I G H T . The work of putting in the incandescent electric light for business places and resi dences, is progressing just as rapidly as possible, and the lines are now nearly ready for use.

Epitome of tlie Arjfument of tlie Rev. W. S. Gallaway Sunday Night. The fifth sermon upon the requested sub jects was preached by Rev. W. 8. Qalla- way last night. Subject, “ Thomas Paine and his relations to Christianity.” .Text, Then said he to Thomas, search hither thy finger, and behold tby hands, and search hither thy hand and thrust it mto my side, and be no more faithless but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, my Lord and my God. John 20:27-28. These words of the Savior were ad dressed to an honest skeptic, resulting in the acknowledgement of the truth, and a firm reliance upon Jesus Christ the Sav ior, and this is the inevitable result with all who will allow the subject to come fairly and fully before the mind. The reason why many young people become indifferent and skeptical and finally infi dels, is they want to get away from moral restraint, and readily accept, as truth,and argue the flippant sayings, bold denials and blasphemous utterances of haters of Christianity. They regard these sayings as truthful and learned, and fail to inves tigate and learn for themselves, how the truth is perverted, and how utterly unre liable the great majority of infidel writers “ In presenting the subject 'o-night,” said the pastor,” we will consider; 1st. Who was Thomas Paine, 2d. His lack of correct religious opin ions, and his relations to Christianity. 8d. Paine as an imperfect model, and young, but bi( fcketch of his life and character, closing with these words : “ While we admit that he was a sharp debater and a vigorous writer, enlivening his compositions with illustrations which render them attractive to the average reader, at the same time we must confess that he lacked the educa tion necessary for inquiry and criticism- His own testimony forever settles his in competency to write upon theological subjects intelligently. Quotations from his own writings, and others who knew him personally, were read, which showe-’ conolusively his ignorance of the Bible and Christianity, against which he wrote. Oonsidcring the grossness of his language, his satire and blasphemy, and the spirit of hatred manifested, the most charitable construction to place upon him and his writings is, that he was soured by the established church of England at that time, and then, influenced by the shallow Infidelity of the French revolutionists, mistakenly instituted his quarrel with the Bible and Christianity, instead of with the corrupt representatives of the Bible and Christianity, The same course is pursued to-day by those who try to smother conscience.” The speaker paid a high compliment to Mr. Paine’s book, “ Common Sense,” and other writings which fired the Ameri can heart, and did so much to inspire the spirit o f patriotism in the colonists, but said these works were written when he professed strongest faith m the Bible and Ohnstianlty. This is the time when his life should have been taken for a model, but in his later years he sank into the lowest depths of Infidelity, and among Other things produced the mischievous book, the “ Age of Reason. ” Here, com petent witnesses were cited, whose united written testimonies were that he was un safe as a guide and an unsuitable model for young men. The only safe guide and perfect model is the Lord Jesus Christ. Study his character, “ reach hither thy LET IT COME AT 0HC& A DEVICE TO AVOID RAILROAD COL LISIONS, ALREADY FATENTED.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., says that C. 8. Wells of that city and George McClain have an electric device to pre vent railroad collisions or the telescoping of trains. The idea is based on a continu ous current from a battery on the engine and a current generated by two electric brushes connecting the rails. These currents extend a half a mile in front of the engine. When two trains ap proach each other, each preceded by the electric current, the connection will be complete when they are within a mile of each other, and bells will sound in cab and rear car. The same effect is produced when one train follows another too closely. In the case of an open switch the cur rent follows the track, and a warning will be given of any engine standing in the O R A N G E COUNTY COURT. L o c a l C a ses B e f o r e th a t B o d y a t G o s h e n th i s M o r n in g . At the County Court this morning at Goshen a number of litigants, jurors, grand jurors and lawyers convened. The first case taken up was that of James B. Hughes vs. the N. Y. L. E. «& W. R. R. Co.,which was argued by Lewis E. Carr and J. W. Lyon, and was then submitted to the court, The next was that of Martin D. Graham vs. Emmet Myers, a case on appeal argued by Wilton Bennett for Myers the appellant and by J. W. Lyon for the respondent. The case of the village vs. Ernest M. Close was then argued by C. E. Cudde- back and Mr. Lyon. This is the case, it may be remembered, in which Close, the auctioneer, contended that the village had no right to impose a fine upon him for having an auction without a license. The decisions in the above cases will be handed down at the next term o f court. One Grand Jury having been out but a short time, presented three additional in dictments against Messrs. Wiltsie and Pol lock, the Newburg Bank breakers, for con version o f the funds o f several depositors.

Mr. T. 0, Crawford, the special repre sentative of the New York World, tele graphs o f Mr, Blaine as follows: Mr. Blaine will be very glad to get back to the United States. Be brings with him as the result of his year of observation abroad a stronger confirmation than ever of hia belief in the system of protection, which he alleges alone keeps our working classes above the degraded and hopeless condition of the laboring men in Europe. On that subject he talks as earnestly in private as he does in public. Mr. Blaine’s friends need not. be at all disturbed about the reports of his ill health. These reports are stupid concoc tions of malice, disproved to the most prejudiced by a mere glance at Mr. Blaine. He is looking to-day as well as he did in London last summer. He is even more alert and vigorous in his walk, as his year o*f rest in Europe has done him a great deal o f good. Although he does not see newspaper representatives at his hotel, yet he is continually coming in and going out during the day in sight o f every one. He drives nearly every day in the Bois de Boulogne. He leaves for England in a few days, and expects to reach London in the neigh borhood o f the 1st of June. He goes there to meet Mr. Andrew Oamegie, who has made up a coaching party to leave Lon don a'DOUt the 5th of June for a straight drive to the north of six or seven hundred miles. The trip is arranged so as to travel about thirty miles each day. It will take a trifle over three weeks, as the party will rest Spndays. The terminus of the drive is the Scottish place taken by Mr. CamegiOi and which is some sixty miles further north than the castle rented by him last summer. This coaching trip will delay Mr. Blaine’s return to the United States for a few weeks. He will probably sail for home early in July. He will be back long before any campaign begins, ready to take hold and assist the nominee o f the Chicago Oonventioru At the time of the Chicago Convention, however, he will be on Mr. Carnegie’s coach approaching the extreme north of Scotland, beyond the range of ordi nary telegraphic communication. I think that few of the originators of the stories of Mr. Blaine’s feeble health would care to take a seat with him on the outside of a coach for three week’s steady driving. But the mere sight of the man is enough to demonstrate Mr. Blame’s condition. It needs no medical expert to pass upon the bright, clear look of his eyes, his good color and the vigor shown in every one of his movements. He has to-day the health that comes to a man aa a reward for a life of simple habits and tastes. L U X U R Y A N D F A S T T I M E .
