This is what was expect- Jed, in view of the splendid manage ment of the English railways, and the unusual methods they have adopt- ed for the protection of life. An English writer who happened to find himself at a small country station in Surrey a day or two after the Sal isbury accident, took special note of what he saw. He found the tracks sided by platforms, long, solid, as- phalted, and connected with an over- head bridge. No one was allowed to cross the tracks. Where was no way of approaching the trains except by the #tation. So far a8 human precautions could prevent it no accidents could possibly happen. "Not only," writes this impartial observer, to the North American Review, 'had everything been done to insure safety, but the station® und all its surroundings seemed like a miniature paradise.

A sensational time has just been concluded, at Bufialo, and an old county official will go to the peniten- tiary for a long term and so atond for his malfensance. The official in question was John W. Neff, former nwditor of Erie county, and he has" been convicted of sundry criminal transactions by which he robbed the people, on a cemetery deal, to the extent of $7,000. The outrage lies in the fact that an auditor did the thieving. It does not ocour to some persons, who have been hornified by the trial, that no office is pr against dishonesty. It may be that an auditor's misconduct seems the more heinous because he is ox- pected to be straight and to keep all others straight over whose accounts be has a sapervision, In the selection of public officials, however, their qualifications are not the only things considered. According to the American munici- pal system the officials, including the awditors, are nominated in the party caucus, They are elected by -the ma- chine, Some are expected to be re publicans or democrats first and audi- tors afterwards. Usually their duties are well performed, but if they are defective in any respect the system which clected them is to blame more than the men. Auditors who are conscientious, who will blink at nothing, whose integrity is absolute, are entitled to greater consideration and reward. The mumi- cipalitios that are well served in this respect are fortunate. There are no scandals and there will not be any appeals to the government for infor mation as to where they are at. The men of talent. and character are not, however, we fear, fully appreciated. Heard Excellent Truths. Tichborne, Aug. 7.--~Haying is al most over and harvesting will soon be general.

Wife Hears Her Husband Has Family Elsewhere. 3 Owensboro, Ky., Aug. 8.---Owens- boro has an Enoch Arden case. Ho is Howard Blandord, supposed to have een killed in a train wreck near Birmingham, Ala., in October, 1901. He was seen alive and well in Sidney, Australia, not long since, where he is living in a new country, under a new jane and it is said, with § new fami- Noel Cooper of. Owensboro; has just returned from the trip® on which he saw Blandford and immediately told his story to Blandford's wife, from whom he has never been divorced. He also has two children here, who are living with their grandparents. The supposition that Blandford had perished in a wreck was based on doubtful "circumstances, the chief one of which was that he could be traced into: Alabama and was there lost. Several ified persons were killed in the wreck, and it was taken for granted that be was in the pum- eral attempts to verify their supposi- To New York. lines, Tues: WORLD NOT SO LARGE. Finds Daughter Who - Eloped : Thirty-Four Years Ago. Paterson, N.J,, Aug. S8.--After a search of five years, Alesander Mac donald has found his daughter, who eloped from her home in Scotland, thirty-four years ago, with John Mor- timer. Mrs. Mortimer was a mere child when when she left her home,because her ts objected to the visits 'of M er. Nothing was heard of the couple after their flight. The Macdon- alds moved away from the old home, and Mr, Macdonald was successful in business, After the death of his wife, five years ago, he decided to come to this country and scarch for his daugh- ter, He visited all the large cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and con- sulted directories without success. He arrived in Paterson last week, intend- ing to return to Scotland in a few days. He looked through the city directory and consulted the city re- cords, but could find no trace of his daughter. Standine on the corner of Main and Market streets, yesterday, Mr. Mac- donald heard a passerby shout to the motorman on a passing car: "Hello, Mortimer !" Hardly daring to hope for success the old man jumped on the car and engaged in a conversation with the motorman. He soon learned that the man in charge of the car was his son-in-law. A meeting between father and daughter followed. Mr. Macdonald will prolong bis stay in this country, "KILLED" RETURNS HOME. Georgia Man Who Outdoes Rip Van Winkle. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. S8--Believed to have been killed in the battle of Chic- kamauga, Anderson Pittman has re- turned to his old home in Habersham county, and found his wife the widow of another. The return of the man caused as great a sensation as if he was a Rip Van Winkle. In fact, his story surpasses the tragedy of Rip in that it is real, and covers a period of forty years, which time Pittman says he spent as a convict in a northern prison for homicide, which it was ne- cessary to commit to save his own life. When the civil war broke out Pitt- man was one of the most prosperous farmers in Habersham county. He was twenty-three years old, and a bridegroom of a 'week when he enlist- ed. He was captured and placed ina military prison with others. Then the federals sent him north as a prisoner of war. In the prison he found an enemy in another prisoner. The day the prison was emptied the man attacked Pittman with an axe, and Pittman stabbed him to the heart with a knife. The killing was almost under the walls of the prison, and Pittman was at once arrested and thrown into his old cell. A short time after he was tried, convicted and sentenced to forty years' imprison- ment. So far Pittman has refused to tell where he was confined. The Late Mrs. George Clapper. Bethia N. Campbell was born in the township of South Fredericksburgh, in 1859. and died at Morven, on July 25th, 1906. In the year 1878 she was united in marriage to George Clap- per, Morven. During' her life she en- deared herself to a large circle of friends. Those who knew her best were her best friends. She was a Christian woman. Her pure life, her faithful use of the means of grace, both public and private, her simple trust, her humble and teachable spirit and her cheerfulness and willingness' to help in every good word and work developed in her a beautiful charac- ter. She was a member of the Metho- dist church, and an officer in the W. M. S. Auxiliary of Morven. She will be greatly missed by the community, and also by her mother and SX sis- ters, but she will be chiefly missed by her husband. -- A Veteran Dead. Picton Gazette. There passed away at the family re- sidence, Bloomfield, on Saturday last, one of its pioneer residents in the person of John Bull, father of Post master Herbert Bull, and Mrs. Noxon, of Caliiornia, at the advanced .age of nearly ninety-one years. Up to a few weeks ago Mr. Bull had enjoyed un- usually good health for ope. of his years, when he was strisken with paralysis, which ultimately proved fatal, but was apparently attended with very little suffering. The de- ceased had led a very active life until incapacitated by old age, and was universally respected. The funeral took place, Monday afternoon, and a large number of friends signified the great respect they had for' the old gentleman, as well as the family, by attending the funeral.
