TheTillng of the will of August Ku.l-ma- n by Surrogate George S. West in Camden yesterday brought to light a the Philadelvery pathetic story, sas phia Press. August Kullman was the promising son of a methojist episcopal minister, stationed at Sea Isle City. Miss Adeline C. Weathcrby was the daughter of the Rev. Samuel C. Weathcrby, a methodlst (episcopal minister, who was stationed at Haddonfieid. The young people-becamacquainted in attending religious gatherings and an attachment was formed which terminated in a rlage, which was attended by many TFSEIHenF persons from all parts of the state. A short time before the marriage took place there were urgent calls for missionaries in India, and the two decided after marriage to dexote their lives to missionary labors. After the ceremony they started for their field of labor at Asauool, Bengal, India. They reached their post of duty in February, 1835, one month after their marriage, and entered upon their duties. They had been laboring but a short time when the natives began to die of cholera. The young missionaries were advised to sate their lives by going to other parts, but they decided la stay and minister to the sufferers, In order to avoid the disease they decided to drink no water, as itwas declared to be polluted and the cause of the spread of the contagion. ' They purchased a cow and drank the milk, and were free from the dreaded disease. From the meager-- - Itiformatlos -at hand it appears that on July 23 one of the natives, during the absence of the missionary and his wife, drank a quantity of the milk and. In order to conceal his crime, he procured some of the contaminated water from a stream, which was placed in a recepiaele with . , the milk. When the missionaries returned from tbelr mission of love and labor with the natives they were very thirsty and ''drank considerable of the watered milk. Tllcy ate a light supper and attended a prftyer meeting. During the service Mr. KuHpian was taken ill and was assisted hom. On the way Mrs. Kullman was attacked. All night long the husband and wife, attended by other missionaries, fought with the dreaded plague, being unable to account for the attack, as they had escaped so many months. In a strange country, hundreds of miles from home, they tossed on their couches, offering each other all tbe encouragement possible nnddr the circumstances. At 4 o'clock on the morning of July 26 Mrs. Kullman became unconscious and died. Four hours afterward Mr. Kullman died. e '- - Ah'7MiL: , ' A A A- - POLLY BILLER, stamped on them. The boys were so much astonished that they did not resent the extraordinary conduct and Polly was half way home, running as fast as she could, before they recovered themselves. Old G. A. R. men even now shake their heads when talking over the matter, but the citizens of Believille generally laugh at the whole affair. Polly is proud of the English blood In her veins, and resented the tweaking her schoolmates gave to the tall of the British lion when the Venezuelan question was discussed. Her .father, Lawyer George Biller, of Newark, isJocular over the Incident In school, and her mother regrets the notoriety which has been brought upon her daughter's name. The boys of the school are still expressing their approval of the pluck of Miss Polly, but - the girls are sarcastic in their criticisms of her display of spunk. Miss Polly was snuggled np In a big chair when called upon, and was working away upon some .fancy dress costume; all covered with apangles and tinsel.

She Is a modest girl, the Idol of a happy home, and very popular in the select society of Belleville and upper Newark. She laughed gayly when spoken to on the subject of the flag episode, and declared that folks took the matter too seriously, and that anyhow it wasn't right for her classmates to wsve the stars and stripes in her face when everybody was excited with war talk.

Dunce, of States navy, commanding tbe North' Atlantic squadron, leone of the veterans of the lie was service, lately called to the capitaland, on ofa hasty, course, secret mission. It is not known what questions -- were considered during the conference, but tbe impression among those in touch with high officials is that the admiral wanted ora) instructions aa to his operations in tbe Caribbean Sea to Venezuela. Tbe conference was at his own request, which Implies that he had some important Information to impart as well as a desire to receive such directions as it la desirable to be possessed of. Admiral Bunce Is a native of Connecticut and entered the naval academy May 28, 1832, graduating in 1857. On leaving the academy he was assigned to the sloop German-ten, of the East India squadron, where he served two years and was then transferred to the sloop ilaceslQnlalJn April, 1861, he was commissioned lieutenant and assigned to the Penobscot, on the North Atlantic blockading station, and in the early period of the war participated in skirmishes at York-te- n n and Gloucester, and In 1862 In cn- w feet across the base and four feet high. stranger came riding by, and seeing the care the farmer was taking said to him: Tou seem to be mightty careful Yep, replied the about that wall. farmer, I'm er building her to stay.

Ioa: Not many people are acquainted with tbe fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and tbe Pennsylvania company together are the ow tiers of a vast tool equipment which Is entirely useless so far ss Its owners are concerned, and what Is stranger still is the fact that they never desire to see the tools In use and are hoping that they will remain unused forever. The equipment consists of'2,53(J saws, 2,51)0 sledge hammers and 2,500 axes, all new and In first-clacondition. While what has been said above concerning this apparently Useless equipment may sound rather strange. It can be beat explained by tbe simple statement that the tools are tor emergency purposes only, and are use of -- trainmen or paskept for-th- e sengers who may be called upon to act In th capacity of rescuers In case of a catastrophe. This Is why ths companies don't want the tools to be used, and It explains the necessity for" having so much useless tool equipment.
