The equities in some of these assets are being reduced materially by forced sales. Db. Geobge R. Cbooks, of Madison, N. J., has been chosen editor of the Methodist Review, published at New York, to succeed the late Dr. Daniel Curry. Jackson’s silk mill and the Grant locomotive works at Paterson, N. J., were destroyed by fire. The loss is $150,000, and 600 persons are out of employment New Yobk is about to begin the expenditure of $1,000,000 a year in locating and improving small parks in the densely peopled sections of the city. It is expected the available fund will be sufficient to open one such park each year. After protracted religions exercises, hymnsinging, etc., John Thomas Ross, colored, was hanged at Baltimore. Ross had beaten to death an old white woman named Emily Brown and sold* her body to a medical college. Affidavits of prominent Fenians are published in New York charging O’Dynamite Rosea with revealing the secrets of the order.
