A swindler sailing under a variety of Thoro mnch aissatisfaotion in tho district,

has lately been operating in tho west I aad 0faer gtrikes aro impending.

A New York special says: "Except

for the number of. 'longshoremen sianaiug

idlo on the corners, the streets on tho river

fronts h'ava assumed almost their normal appearance. Though it requires a larger number of men to do the work now than formerly,

the stoamboit and railroad pier managers all claim that buririeea-is as good as before the striko, and that freight is being moved with

the utmost facility.

t.DBrea-ise:i Klngng ana tne sick.

Nothinir is more inexplicable than

the tenacity with, which even sensible

persons hold to the traditions oi any

svstem with which thaw have been as

sociated by education and habit. A very striking example of this .is the ringing of church bells when these plaees of public worship stand in the midst of noonlons districts, and when

those who frequent them are perfectly well aware of the hours of service, and

are not in the least degree dependent on the sound of the beUs for the opvortnnitv of attendance. In the old

days, when parishioners lived a considerable distance from their church, when there were few clocks in private houses, and when the times of service were uncertain, there were valid reasons why bells should be rung to colt together the worshipers, but not one of these reasons at present exists, and the ringing of church -bells in cities and towns is a needless and vexations ceremony. To the sound in health it may be all annoyance; while to the sick it is a very grave infliction, causing in many instances serious injury, and, we cannot hesitate to say, in not a few cases actually aggravating diseases and shortening life. The practice should undoubtedly be abandoned, or if prejudice be too strong for voluntary action, it ought to be interdicted. It is intolerable tha for the sake of a mere sentiment which has no shadow of solemnity about it, which has nothing whatever to do with religion or belief, and which (outside a utilitarian purpose, which has no place in these days) is simply a superstition of the most stupid kind, annoyance and injury should be perpetrated. A case of flagrant violation of the ordinary rules of courtesy that has just occurred at Liverpool, placing the authorities of one church in a light wholly at variance with the spirit of common humanity,

has raised this question m a manner winch we trust will give it a practical shape. We would be the very last to offend the consciences of those who aro striving to uphold the religion of the country, and we would not pen one word to wound the feelings of any sincere worshiper; but this matter of church-bell ringing tuts not tbe most remote connection with religion or worship, and we protest against a practice width fa an offense, and too frequently entails consequences altogether too terribly disastrous to be contemplated without indignation. Medical practitioners will do well to refuse certificates of the cause of death in cases in which they have reason to believe that the fatal issue has. been hastened by the disturbance caused by this practice, and leave it to coroners juries to give expression to the feeling which tiie grievance very justly creates.

On the evening of the 20th of November, 1S85, John B. Bowman, ex-Mayor of East St. Louis, was assassinated in front of hi3 home by being shot in the back. No definite clue to the assassin was discovered

until withm the past' few days. Some two week's ago Christum Sinidt and William Banks, two vount; hoodlums of East St. Louis, were "arrested for robbing railroad cars. They made n statement that George W. Voice, a member of the East St. Louis police force, was the murderer and that they saw him shoot Mr. Bowman. Voice was induced to go to St. Louis and wns taken to Detective Furlong's office where he wns charged with the deed and where he

underwent n sever exnniinaiion, which resulted in 51r. Frank 11. Bowman, son of tho murdered man, swearing out a warrant against him and he was sent to Belleville, Illinois, in charge of two of Furlong's operatives and lodged in jail. Voice killed mnn five venrs nro. He was bartender

it was all light, ana so sai aown again. Then, without a moment's warning

that anything luriner wan io uccur, the car teemed to leap into space and then came a terrible crash. For a moment he was stunned and scarcely knew whether he wns dead or alive. He tried to move, but found he could not budge an inch. He noticed with great alarm that fire had broken out at the further end of the coach, lie struggled with all his strength to free himself and screamed for help, but there was no one at hand to help him. It was a time of mental torture, but still he could not help noticing an old couple who were a few seats aboTO him. They sought to get out, but they were hopelessly tied down by heavy seats. The Hamas approached the eouple with frightful rapidity, and the aged pair seemed to feel that there was no hope for them. Tho last he saw of them they were locked in each other's aims and in the act of kissing. The smoke and flames now enveloped them, hiding them from view. Mr. Tewksbury then gave himself up for lost. He seized his fur cap and wound it around his face so as to cover tbe eyes and hide the dreadful view of approach, ing death.
