Asbcbi Park, N. J., Dec. 11.
"Uncle Randal" Jones, known far and
near, celebrated his 114th birthday
anniversary today. He is well and
healthy, and is upon the streets daily.
He was born in New Jersey, and never
put his foot across the line.
He shook the hand of Gen. Wash
ington when he was crossing the Del
aware on his triumphal march to take
the oath as flist president of the United
States.
He was also an eye-witness of the
battle of Monmouth. Randal bought
his liberty of Dr. Woodhull, for $35,
in 1808.
Panic in Newfoundland.
St. John's, N. F., Dec. 11. New
foundland is experiencing, complete
commercial collapse. Banks are Bus
pending, most of the large mercan
tile firms have failed and business is
paralyzed. It is the worst financial
convulsion that was overcome any
country in recent years.
Nearly every bank on the island
lias gone under, as well as most of
the important commercial houses. The
general public blame, the administra
tion for tho crisis, and the feeling
jigaiutt it is intense.
Wnat Wlllthe "Winter Be?
A lunar cycle is nineteen years; and
if the moon has the same pull in
aerial as in ocean tides, as many per
sons believe, it may be inferred that
thejpresent winter will be mild. At
tempts to establish periodicity in win.
ters, whether on a lunar cycle, sup
ported byother basis, has so far yielded
too meagre results to serve as start
ing points for a prsgnostic system;
but it will be at least interest-
ing, as a matter of curiosity, to note
whether the moon's supposed sway
upon our .atmosphere will produce
results this year similar to those of
nineteen years ago.
Really a Great New York.
The present area of New York city,
thirty-nine square miles, will be in
creased under the plan of consolida
tion adopted at the recent election to
317 fquare miles, embracing a popu
lation of 3,000,000. Thus New York
will become second in the list of the
great cities of the world, being out
ranked only by London, which has a
population of 4,231,431, according to
the latest census.
Burials at Night.
A New York undertaker is authori
ty for the statement . that the custom
of burying the dead at night has be
come more general in that city. The
innovation has been prompted by con
siderations of economy of time.
