PRICB THREE CENTS NEWS FROM STEEL WAYS MITCH COMMENT ON T H E ACTION OF T H E E R I E COaiFANT On t h e O rder to D e p rive Hie M ontieello People of Hie Use of Hie E ric Yard. OHier R a ilroad Item s . People are commenting more and more mifavorabiy upon the action of the Erie company in notifying the Montieello railroad people that the latter can not nse the Erie yard in this place after June 1st. It IS considered a very undiplomatic movement, to say the least, on the part of the Eric, and it will do that company more harm than good, in the long run. At least that is the opinion generally expressed by the people. Of course it will greatly inconvenieuce the Montieello railroad people, for a time, as they will be put to dire extremes for terminal facilities at this end of the Hue. Added to this would be tlie annoyance to which the company would be subjected were the engine or cars to break down so as to need maebiue-shop repairs. How the company would manage it, in such an event, it is difficult to foretell. It is hoped that the Erie company will reconsider this harsh order, for it has nothing but enmity to gain by persisting in it. It is generally understood that this movement on the part of the Brie is simply an effort to crush out the Monti- cello railroad company as a competing line and force it to sell or lease its fran chise to the Erie. But will it succeed ? RAILROAD NEW S . Item s of In t e r e s t from th e G reat Iro n Thoronglifares. The Erie Railway has increased its ser vice to Cleveland, and in addition to the through sleeper on the train leaving New York at .'ip. m., it will run a drawing room car to Hornellsville, there connect ing with a sleeper reaching Cleveland on the following morning. As HornellsviUe is a meal station the change is made with out any inconvenience to passengers. The Erie’s new system of running long xrains of freight and coal cars as double headers, with a single train’s crew is not likely to prove a profitable venture. The great s train on the couplings o f tw o m o - gul engines pulling on a train of 69 to 80 cars is m o re th a n they can sometimes bear, especially when a start is made on an up grade or in passing over a summit or grade where the strain is very great. Yesterday, a freiglit train of this kind broke m two at Otterkill, coming together again, several cars were smashed and others damaged, and the tracks were blocked for some lime. This morning, a similar accident occurred at the Summit west of this village, where two cars were demolished, several were damaged and both tracks were blocked for two hour.s, until cleared by the Port Jervis wreckers. — Monday’^ MiMUhtmt.

The rain almost poured down all night long Temperature rose during the night, Itaving us to-d ay with warm, threatening weather. Evidently those conditions will remain without much change during Wednesday. D E A T H OF A CHIT-D. Peter 0. Rosencranse, the son of I’. ().

AT T H E “ BARN PA R T Y .\ A Very E n joyable R eoeptlon Ui> Tow n L a st Evening. It rained “ pitchforks ” last night, but that did not interfere with the success of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Farmim’a reception and “ barn party.” The reception was one of the largest held in Port Jervis during many months, and one of the most brilliant, too. At 9 o’clock the spacious rooms of the elegant house on Broome street were crowded to their utmost capacity, with young ami old. It was notably a brilliant assem blage of moat of the best known people of Port Jervis who were desirous ofshowing by tbeir presence their appreciation of the lavish hospitality extended by Mr. and Mrs. Parnum. Among those present from a distance were Mr, and Frank Vaii- derbeck and their son of Jersey City, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Barnes of New York, Miss Holmes of Paterson, Mr.-^. J. H. Sirich of Baltimore, a niece of Mrs. Far- nuni. Miss Lohmaii of Iloucsdale, Pa., and Messrs. James Hagan, George Ise- man and W. Millspaugh of Middletown. Soon after 9 o’clock the younger guests were invited to the new and elegant barn iu the rear of Mr. Farnum’s grounds.\ Here a genuine surprise awaited most of them. The barn, which lias been de scribed at length in T h e U nion , was brightly lighted and thrown open to the guests from the front door to most remote manger in therear. Everything about the place glittered. The wall, ceilings and floors in their bright varnish, the brass mountings and hinges on doors and stalls. Not a speck o f anything like dirt was ap parent and the ladies in their rich cos- tumes were as free from marring them as in the adjacent drawing room. In one corner of the spacious cariiage room d u n e ’s orchestra presided and fur nished dancing music until an early hour this morning. During the earlier hours of the evening the barn was crowded with the dancers and on-lookers, Mr. George Parnum and Miss Milly Farnum, son and daughter of th?hosts, strove at the “ barn party” to make their young guests pass the evening pleasantly and they succeeded admirably. At midnight refreshments were fur nished in the house and soon after the older guests retired while the younger ones c o n tinued dancing i n th e barn.

Their son Gilbert and wife are at the same place. Geo. Clark spent a part of last week at his father’s. Mr. Miller of Scranton spent a few days at S. Clark’s last week. Willie Moore has a gang o f men work ing on the new railroad, near where the murderer Wm. Palmer is buried. This being known to the elder part o f the com munity, has called to mind many of the circumstances connected therewith, which lany of the younpr portion o f onr com munity knew nothing about. D. C. Tarket still lies in a very critical condition. Dr. Writer attends him. The sad news o f the death of Mrs. Wm, Wood, a resident of Middletown, who formerly lived here, was a shock to all. She was taken ill on Saturday morning and died last night. She was a daughter of Lewis Decker of Oakland Valley. A faithful wife and mother, she will be greatly missed by the surviving husband and four children. M i ‘3. Ellsworth Tyrell of Finchville is at her mother’s. The Rev. S. D. Harris preached an ex cellent sermon yesterday from a clause in Luke 11th ch. 1st verse, viz. “ Lord, teach me to pray. ” He thought many would be shocked if their prayers were answered. Many were not answered because the head and the heart were not right. He handled the subject well and kept the close atten tion of his congregation from beginning to German measles at present to be confined to the elder portion of the com- mnnity. They have been distributed among the rising generation pretty thor oughly. The Sunday school, which keeps up the attendance well, will hold Children’s Day June lOtb. W e noticed among the congregation on Sunday Miss Alice Tillison, teacher at Godeffroy, also some friends from Never- sink Locks and Prospect Hill. Mrs. Ezra Tillison is much improved since our last writing. Isaac Cuddeback’s new harness improves much the appearance of his sorrel team.

A Now Yoi-U Wi-iiei- Shows H iat tUo M a r k e t V alue o f Stocks H a s now ProTiably Koaolip.l Hio M inim u m —A FnrH ier use for G.as. In the Now York Fun of Monday ap pears an interesting article from the pen of Matthew lilarshall on the subject of “ The Future of Gas Stocks” iu which the prob able C'fficts of the competition of the elec tric light on gas and its resulting effects on tlie price of gas companies’ stocks are carefully considered. The author mentions the great decrease in the dividends paid by the gas comp’an- ies of New York city and the correspond ing decline iu the market value of their stocks, but asserts it, as his belief, that the cause of this condition of affairs is not the competition of electric light, but rather the legislation which fixed the price of gas at $1.25 per thousand feet. Mr. Marshall expresses himself as firm in the belief that the worst has already been experienced by the holders of gas stocks, and that prices will not fall below the present point. His reasons for this belief are that many years must elapse before the incandescent electric light, which now costs four times as much as gas, can be furnished for in terior illumination at prices which will make it a formidable competitor, while the use of the brilliant aic lights in the streets makes necessary in business places, the use of a greatly increased quantity of gas, or the store will seem by contrast dark and cheerless, and in proof of this statement cites the fact that although electricity has displaced gas in some places, New Y'ork city now consumes 40 per cent, more gas than it did three years Mr. Marshall says further that there is another use for gas which is as yet in its infancy—its use for cooking and heating purposes, which promises indefinite de- velopmen*^, and which is steadily on the increase, and as its safety, cheapness, con venience are understood and appreciated, the use of gas for domestic purposes will become more and more general. A M YSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE. A curious and, thus far, inexplicable circumstance occurred at the residence of Samuel Young of the Delaware and Hud son Canal Company at Sidney, Delaware county, early Sunday morning. Shortly after midnight the family was awakened by the sound of shattered glass. A light Was procured, the family aroused, and be fore the parlor could be reached every picture in the room, many of them valua ble ones, had fallen to the fliorfrom their fastenings on the walls. The eords which held them appeared as if cut by a knife, yet the house was securely locked and a search failed to reveal any person who might have committed the malicious act. The occurrence has caused the family no little alarm, and is the myotery of tlie .SHE W OULDN’T ATTEND BAB. Elias Bloomer of Union Vale, Dutchess county, was arrested in Poughkeepsie, on W ednesday, w h ile try in g to force his daughter Minnie into a wagon and go home with him. When taken before the Recorder of that city, Minnie said that her father’s home was not a fit place for her, ibecause he kept a saloon and insisted that she should tend bar. She had there fore left home and obtained employment in the city. The Recorder gave Minnie her freedom, and fined her father $5. He afterward remitted the fine, as Bloomer promised to molest his daughter no further. T H E LAST S H O W -B U T T H E BEST.

It is said to be very rare indeed, that child ren are born without the organ in ques tion, and without its help, m the pro cesses of digestion and assimilation, death must result before many days. T H E INCANDESCENT L IG H T . Notwithstanding the severe thunder storm which raged all last night, the new incandescent electric light worked better than on the previous night, so the users say. A few of the more blinding flashes of lightning extinguished the lights for an instant—as they always do the electric lights—but tliis did not greatly impair the usefulness of the service. The speed of the engine is now the better gauged, and tbe managers claim that the light will get better all the time. WILL T h e b e b e another train ?

In Virginia lightning struck and killed several people. In Nebraska there were fearful “ cloudbursts,” wash ing away houses and doing immense dam age. In Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and other parts severe storms o f wind and rain occurred. A tremendous wind storm struck Oil City Monday afternoon. The damage is conflmed principally to the Arlington Hotel recently finished in elegant style. The roof was ripped up, and the chimneys, toppling over, crashed through flooding seven rooms on the top floor, covering the carpets with brick and mortar. The guests in the hotel were panic stricken, and the greatest consternation prevailed. The damage done in Oil City, $1,500, and on Petroleum Bridge, $200. At Clintonville several miles distant, several dwellings and business houses were wrecked, and oil derricks were blown down in all parts of the fields. The Southern Tier of New York was visited by a terrible storm Monday after noon. Great damage was done at Wells- ville, the Baptist church and twenty or more business blocks losing their roofs by tbe terrible wind. The interior of the church was badly wrecked. Portions of the roof were carried with great force against other buildings and much damage resulted. Plate glass as well as many other windows were shattered, heavy rain adding to the damage. At Allentown, N. Y’’., the churdh and many other buildings were wrecked badly. Many derricks were blown down in the Alleghany oil field, and trees were up rooted all along the course of the storm as far east as Elmira. A circus was just closing its performance at Wellsville when the storm came on. The tent was lowered, and anchored out, and the people escaped only two or three being injured. The small tents were blown away. DECORATION DAY SERVICES. The P rogram for th e Exercises in th e Af ternoon anil Evening.

K a tie Anderson’s Mni’derer Suriirises A ll a n d w ill h e I m p risoned f o r Life. There was a great sensation at Mount Holly, N. J., in the trial of Barclay W. Peak for the murder of Katie Anderson, Saturday morning. At the opening of court Peak entered a plea of guilty to the indictment, to the utter surprise o f every body connected with the case, except, possibly, his own lawyers. The action o f the CJourt Friday in ex cluding the dying declaration of the mur dered girl, which was the testimony on which the former conviction was obtained by the state, almost assured the acquittal of the accused ora disagreement of the jury. Why Peak should have pleaded guilty at the last moment, under these circumstances, is one of the most remarka ble features o f this celebrated case. Peak has insisted from the first that he was en tirely umoceat of the charge, and has borne himself in prison and in the court room with the utmost composure. After the decision of Judge Garrison excluding the dying declaration of Katie Anderson, the testimony left was purely circumstan tial, but pointed strongly to Peak’s guilt. Upon Peak’s pleading guilty Judge Gar rison instructed the jury to find a verdict of murder in the second degree and the Court would be responsible. The juiy, after a brief absence, returned a verdict in accordance with the Judge’s instruc tions. LAST N IG H T OF T H E SEASON.

A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says that County Detective T. J. Heffermann, acting under instructions from District Attorney Lenahan, arrested A. R. Long shore, burgess of the borough of Hazle ton, on two charges, allowing a prisoner to escape and misdemeanor in office. Mr. Longshore immediately went before Squire Gorman and waiving a hearing en tered in $500 on each charge. The charges arise out of the escape of Jacob Brem, who on May 2d fatally stabbed Robert Paisley at the village of Mount Pleasant, near Hazleton. Brem was arrested and brought before Burgess Longshore who fined him $15 and $6 costs, and in default of payment com mitted him to the borough lockup for five days. Squire Laubach notified Bur gess Longshore not to liberate Brem, as Paisley was sure to die; but at the end of the five days Brem was set at liberty, and Immediately fled the county. Three days after Paisley died. A second case occurred on Sunday of last week, when a man named Conalick fatally stabbed a fellow countryman at Humbolt, three miles from Hazleton. Complaint was entered with the Hazle ton officials, but they refused to act unless their expenses were put up in cash. Dis trict Attorney Lenahan is resolved crime shall not go unpunished in the Hazleton district, and proposes to make an example of this case. M ILFO R D JOTTINGS.

A Sew York civil engineer was here last week and made notes and retired to the metropolis to make his estimates. As yet oe has not been heard from. The com pany expect to raise it about four feet higher than the old one over the channel and two feet higher at each approach. It will not have the numerous bows that the old Structure did but will be one contin uous arch. The Rev. A. S. Gardiner, who has been very ill for about four weeks, is able to be on the street again, but is not yet able to preach. His son Irving, who has been confined to his bed for about the some time with nervous prostration, is also con valescing and is now able to sit up. 'The latest summer drink here is called the “ Milford flz ” or “ phiz”—justwhich I hardly know—and can only be had at the Crissman House. Frank says he has the control of the article for the United States, as he is the sole importer o f it. Still the dehorning business rages. Mr D. D. Newman, a farmer living about two miles from here, had a bull dehorned to-day by a veterinafy surgeon named Remey from Port Jervis. He says Remey is doing great deal of this kind of surgery. Mr. W. H. Warner, who resides about three miles up the old turnpike, is confined to his bed with a bad carbuncle. It’s a bad time of the year for farmers to be visited by Job’s comforters. ABOUND T IL D E N ’S OLD HOM E . There is not much activity in the vi cinity of Qreystone. The palatial build ing, containing its wealth of art and other furnishings, is closed to all except the watchman, his family, the executors and the privileged few who are furnished with passes. The greenhouses are filled, as in the time’ when ex Governor Tilden was living, with rare plants and flowers. Only about a half dozen men are now employed on the place, and no work, except for the preservation of the prop erty, is now being done.
