WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...SEPT. 12, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. Pocket or party is the question with wine growers. How can Anaheim vineyards compete with free foreign wine? Answer that question for yourselves, vineyardists. In some of the cholera-striken districts of France the people assault the doctors who are sent among them, believe that they spread the disease instead of allaying it. The American Indian treats the medicine man with more consideration. He does not kill him unless he fails to make a cure. On the Milesian principle of hitting a head whenever you see it, the Chinese, having their war paint on, fired from one of their forts upon an English war vessel, and when asked for an explanation they said they thought the vessel was a French gunboat. The explanation was accepted and peace reigns. The political probabilities are well illustrated by a cartoon in an Eastern paper. Blaine, Cleveland and Butler are represented as playing a game of poker, the stakes being the Presidency. Blaine has three aces in his hand, and Butler is surreptitiously passing him the other ace under the table. That's the situation exactly. STEPHEN G. CLEVELAND in his harangue of platitudes on "What I know about farming" at the New York State Fair said nothing upon the particular branch of "Baby farming" which by his own sad experience he is best qualified to elucidate, and concerning which the people are interested to hear his opinion. THE "do you want your daughter to marry a nigger?" nonsense has been revived in the present campaign by the New York Herald which prints in italics and in half a THE NEWS FROM MAINE. The result of the election in Maine on Monday last was awaited with much anxiety by the leaders of all parties as an evidence of the drift of public sentiment relative to the personality of the respective presidential candidates, and the political issues proposed by the different parties. That the result is more than satisfactory to Republicans need hardly be said. It pronounces emphatically upon the popularity of Blaine at home and declares that Republicanism has a stronger hold upon the people than ever. It is not enough to say that "Maine has gone Republican," for that was beyond peradventure. The California enthusiasm for Blaine is echoed in Maine by the substantial majority of 18,000 and a clean sweep of Congressmen, the entire State Senate and an overwhelming majority in the Assembly. The State has heretofore been close and doubtful. In 1872, 1878 and 1880 the Republicans lost the State and by a big effort only was it carried for Garfield in 1880 after the preceding September success of the Democrats. The decided vote of Monday will go far in convincing the wavering voter that the American people are not yet prepared to place the control of the National Administration outside of the Republican party. At a Jubilee meeting of Republicans held at Augusta, on Monday night, Blaine said: The cause of this Democratic overthrow, gentlemen, is known to us all. Our canvass has been conducted on the great issue. Our papers have kept that constantly before the people. Every one knows that the Morrison bill enacted into a law would seriously cripple, if not utterly destroy, the leading industrial interests of Maine; that it would reduce the wages of every laboring man and stop manufacturing enterprise in the State. Seeing this, the people of Maine have protested against the enactment of so destructive a measure and have set the seal of their disapprobation upon the Democratic party that supports it. Many Democrats of Maine who never before wavered in their allegiance to the party have ranged themselves to-day on the side of protection to American industry by voting the full Republican ticket. Their leaders could not hold them. Party discipline is powerless against the convictions THE MORMON MUST GO. The path of the Mormon ministerry, never very pleasant, is particularly host fast now. Jeans they fatten upon, rewilings soon to give them new strength, ancient eggs are no sweet insistence to them, but the limit is reached when they are fired upon and killed, and was the case a few weeks ago in one of the Southern States. They are in peculiarly bad odor in the South, and the doctrine of polygamy has no charms for that people. In Lewis county, Tennessee, where the missionaries were killed, and where the Mormon seem to have gained a feethold, public sentiment has risen up against them to such a degree that notices have been posted up in conspicuous places throughout the county, adorned with the picture of a coffin, and containing the following warning: "Mormons and members of Latter-Day Saints are notified to leave this county, and thirty days are given for you all to leave, and an indignant and outraged people have said it, and go you shall. If you are found in this county after thirty days you will go like the others go, peaceably if you will, but you must go." As the law gives no adequate remedy for the evils of Mormonism, such vigorous measures of extirpation as that decided upon while not strictly defensible, will not meet with any considerable amount of adverse criticism. UNRELIABLE PROPHECIES The political predictions of partisans are in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred now worth the ink used in writing them. No Republican will admit the possibility of Blaine's defeat; no Democrat will give expression to a doubt of Cleveland's election. It is part of the creed of every politician to speak in terms of confidence of the ultimate result. But it must be confessed that some of the predictions, in the light of subsequent results, read very ridiculous. For instance, Gen. Rosecrans said last week: "I have been in Maine, and am satisfied that there is Republican majority in that State next Monday will not be more than 3,000." Rosecrana is a garrulous old man, and never opens his mouth without putting his foot in it. In view of the unreliableness of his estimate, we forbear quoting the rest of his po STEPHEN G. CLEVELAND in his harangue of platitudes on "What I know about farming" at the New York State Fair said nothing upon the particular branch of "Baby farming" which by his own sad experience he is best qualified to elucidate, and concerning which the people are interested to hear his opinion. THE "Do you want your daughter to marry a nigger?" nonsense has been revived in the present campaign by the New York Herald, which prints in italics and in half a dozen places in its columns this foolish sentence: The election of Blaine means putting colored men in office and Fred Donglass in the Cabinet. Fred Donglass is a fair-minded colored man, but how about the rest of his colored brethren? It is apparent from the manner in which the Republican campaign was opened on Saturday last that the State Central Committee is possessed of unusual tact and ability. The simultaneous mass meetings held throughout the State were wisely planned, ably managed and thoroughly effective in assuring an enthusiasm that means an aggressive canvass and a Republican victory. GAMBLING is licensed in Sacramento. This is the result: "Gambling games were frequent in the city last [Monday] night, but the most extensive business was done in the large madding on the southwest corner of Third and K streets, where a number of games were running, a large crowd was in attendance, and the spectacle must have caused early pioneer residents to think of 'old times.'" TROOK who look under the surface of things proclues to see the hand of Bismarck in the French Chinese war now in progress. Whether or not he has aught to do with creating the rupture, there can be no doubt that he must be extremely gratined at the status of alliara. France is engaged in actual warfare with China and is at the point of open rupture with England. How Mephistopheles Bismarck must grin! The speeches of the Republican orators on Saturday evening delivered in the principal towns of California take rank as able efforts of able men. The arrangement of the past career of the Democratic party was terribly severe, and the truth issue of Protection vs. Free Trade was unanswerably presented. The address of W. W. Morrow at San Francisco and that of Senator Sargent at San Bernardino were unusually strong and of a character to make our Democratic friends wince. A NEW YORK Chinese merchant declares that his country can afford to, and will, sacrifice 100 lives for every Frenchman slain, in order to whip France. This kind of patriotic gush is very safely delivered 6,000 people, if not utterly disgusting, the leading industrial interests of Maine; that it would reduce the wages of every laboring man and stop manufacturing enterprise in the State. Seeing this, the people of Maine have protested against the enactment of no destructive a measure and have set the seal of their disapprobation upon the Democratic party that supports it. Many Democrats of Maine who never before wavered in their allegiance to the party have ranged themselves to-day on the side of protection to American industry by voting the full Republican ticket. Their leaders could not hold them. Party discipline is powerless against the convictions of men. The issue on the temperance amendment to the Constitution has been very properly and very rigidly separated from the political contest of the State to day. Many Democrats voted for it and some Republicans voted against it. The Republican party, by the desire of leading temperance men, took no action as a party on the amendment. For myself I decided not to vote at all on the question. I took this position because I am chosen by the Republican party as a representative of national issues and by no act of mine shall any question be obtruded into the national campaign which belongs properly to the domain of State politics. Certain advocates of prohibition and certain opponents of prohibition are each seeking to drag the issue into the national canvass, thus tending to exclude from popular consideration questions which press for the nation's decision. If there be any question that belongs solely to the police power of the State it is the control of the liquor traffic, and wise men will not neglect a national issue in the year of a national contest. Judicious friends of a protective tariff, which is the practical issue of the campaign, will not divert their votes to a question of prohibition, which is not a practical issue in the national campaign. NO RELIEF IN LAW Anaheim's costly experiment in endeavor to secure water through the medium of lawyers and courts is likely to benefit other communities by being held up, like the topper at a temperance meeting, as an "awful example." The Riverside Press, referring to the bitter legal war now raging between the people of that town and the corporation which furnishes them water, says: Neither party to the issue can afford to await the slow action of the courts in this case. During the past year several propositions of compromise have been made and rejected. The last proposition came from the people and it was rejected by the Canal Company. We do not believe that there is so much difference of opinion between the parties but that they might be harmonized in a manner that would be a lasting benefit to all parties concerned. Now that the people have won the first victory in the courts, would it not be the part of wisdom for the Board of Directors of the Citizens Water Company to renew the proposition last made by them, and thus open up the way for negotiations that may settle the vexed question? If the people of Riverside wait for a settlement of the water question by the courts, many of them will become bankrupt before pressure to a doubt of Cleveland's election. It is part of the creed of every politician to speak in terms of confidence of the ultimate result. But it must be confessed that some of the predictions, in the light of subsequent results, read very ridiculous. For instance, Gen. Rosecrans said last week: "I have been in Maine, and am satisfied that there is "Republican majority in that State next Monday will not be more than 3,000." Rosecrans is a garrulous old man, and never opens his mouth without putting his foot in it. In view of the unreliableness of his estimate, we forbear quoting the rest of his political predictions. PECULIAR RESULTS The Philadelphiaians have been trying law which compels saloons to remain closed on Sunday, and the temperance people are somewhat mystified over the result. Three Sundays ago when all the saloons were closed but one there, there were 333 persons arrested for drunkenness. On the next Sunday with twelve saloons in full blast, there were 52 arrests made and last Sunday ten saloons yielded 166 candidates for the lock-up. This ratio would require the opening of but a few more saloons to entirely eradicate the evil or drunkenness. The fact is that compulsory closing of saloons does not prevent intoxication. It has been tried in New York Brooklyn and in other cities and failed to reduce the number of arrests for drunkenness, as the police statistics will verify. A SOLOMON WANTED Robert Simpson of Brooklyn, N.Y., could not stand the pressure of two wives, his real soning powers collapsed and he was taken to the insane asylum. The two women, each armed with a marriage certificate, are now looking for a Solomon to decide which is this only original Mrs. Simpson. BRAINARD, Long and Connell, of Greenley Arctic Expedition, who have been exhibiting themselves in a Dime museum as this veritable Man Eaters of the North Pole, have been recalled by the Signal Corps officials thus cutting off their income of about $1,000 per week. LEVI P. MORTON of New York, presents United States Minister to France, is the rumored successor of Felger as Secretary of the Treasury. Morton is concealed to rank among the ablest financiers of the country. The latest telegraphic advances announce the spread of cholera in Italy at a fearful rate. In The City of Naples on Tuesday last there were 937 new cases and 365 deaths from the scourge. Murder or Suicide? JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 8—George Moore A New York Chinese merchant declares that his country can afford to, and will, sacrifice 100 lives for every Frenchman slain, in order to whip France. This kind of patriotic gush is very safely delivered 6,000 miles away from home, and recalls the story of the fellow who was willing to sacrifice all his wife's relations for the good of his country. Yet this twaddle of a Chinaman in New York city is soberly retained in the press of that city as an evidence of the patriotism of the Chinese. The determination of the Irish National League to remain neutral in American politics meets with the approbation of the Irish leader, Parnell, and he has telegraphed to Patrick Egan, the newly elected President of the League, that he is pleased with their determination. Parnell knows more of English politics than he does of American, otherwise he might advise differently. The League would be a political power at the present juncture, and if there ever was a time when the Irish ought to stand solid, it is the present. They should vote for Blaine. The people of Cheraw county, South Carolina, are strangely enough, suffering from too much Cash. The affliction is in the form of an old desperado of that name, who has been acquitted of complicity in a murder perpetrated by his son, and who now parades the highways with pistol and gun, with the avowed intention of killing the members of the Sheriff's posse who killed his son while that worthy was resisting arrest. At this distance it is difficult to understand why the venomous old rascal is not put where his threats would be of no avail. Hutchins, who strangled his mistress in San Francisco, confessed the crime and is under sentence of death, has become a member of the Catholic church and has been received into full fellowship. Will Hutohine, the murderer and professor of religion, get to heaven when he is "worked off," and will the average respectable citizen who commits no crime, and who dies in his bed in a quiet and respectable way, but who does not profess religion, go direct to hell? The profoundness and profundity of this question applauds us, and we dismiss it without further consideration. CREMATION The ancient and sanitary custom of cremation is finding many adherents in America and has so advanced in public favor that there is now being constructed in New York a crematory upon the latest and best scientific plans. The crowded condition of the great city of the dead—Greenwood cemetery—has necessitated some action to obviate the undesirable practice of depositing three or four bodies in the same grave, and has done much to create a public opinion favorable to cremation. The marble front of the old St. Nicholas Hotel on Broadway is being removed to form part of the material used in the erection of the building which will be finished this fall and used under the management of the United States Cremation Company. How happy some people would be with the mother-in-law ashes in a pretty little bottle on the mantel shelf. TEN YEARS OLD TO-MORROW For the information of our Democratic friends, we state that Oscar Cleveland, son of Stephen G. Cleveland, Democratic candidate for the Presidency, will be ten years old to-morrow. A Kansas paper suggests that his papa should give him a birthday party. BALDWIN IS LUCKY "Lucky" Baldwin with eleven horses from California has won twelve stake-races in the East, netting him $15,000 clear profit, from which we deduce that Baldwin is entitled to a continuance of the use of his front name, and that California can produce first horses unrivaled even by those of Kentucky. Burr va. Braines is the personal issue in the coming election. MURDER OR SUICIDE? Jackson, Cal., Sept. 8.—George Moore Superior Judge of this county, was found dead in his room this morning. It was a first supposed that he had committed suicide, but investigation went to show that murder had been committed. Medical experts say he could not possibly have shot himself, as the ball entered just behind the left ear and made its exit on the right side of the forehead. No powder marks are visible where the ball entered, showing that he must have been shot from a distance of several feet. A black spot in the centre of his forehead is believed to have been caused by a blow from a club which fractured the skull. The theory is that the victim was first stunned by a blow in the forehead and that afterward his own pistol was taken from his pocket with which the assassin completed his work. When found his hands were found stretched out full length by his side and the pistol was found under his body, a position utterly inconsistent with the theory of suicide. The deceased was highly respected for his fairness and impartiality on the bench, and his terrible end had sent a thrill of horror through the whole county. The Democratic Convention which was to have met to-day, and before which the Judge was a candidate for nomination was postponed. No one slept in his house last night except himself. His wife and family have been on a visit to San Francisco. Jackson, Cal., Sept. 9.—An autopsy, held this morning on the body of Judge Moore has determined that he committed suicide. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of suicide in accordance with the testimony submitted by medical experts who performed the autopsy. The cause is attributed to political combined with other troubles. A Big Fire A disastrous conflagration occurred Cleveland, Ohio, on Sunday last. Ten acres of factories and number yards were burned. Telegrams to the neighboring cities brought assistance to the fire department. The militia was ordered to be in readiness to open palms daily. The entire population of the city turned out to witness the spectacle. The law is estimated to be over two million dollars.

In Tennessee, where the missionsailed, and where the Mormon against a foothold, public consent up against them to such a notices have been posted up in places throughout the county, the picture of a coffin, and following warning: and members of Latter-Day afflicted to leave this county, and given for you all to leave, as and outraged people have said you shall. If you are found in letter-thirty days you will go go, peaceably if you will, but gives no adequate remedy for Mormonism, such vigorous disturbation as that decided upon, metly defensible, will not meet considerable amount of adverse ABLE PROPHECIES final predictions of partisans are cases out of a hundred not used in writing them. No will admit the possibility of Democrat will give exhaust of Cleveland's election. The creed of every politician to of confidence of the ultimate must be confessed that some consions, in the light of subsequent very ridiculous. For instance, cons said last week: "I have none, and am satisfied that the majority in that State next will not be more than 3,000."

The people of Volcano, Amador County, eat no meat nowadays on account of the prevalence of blackleg among the cattle, and many of the residents of Jackson confine themselves to mutton. A little son of J. C. Davis of Susanville, while whitttling the other day, struck the knife-blade into his left groin and came near bleeding to death before medical assistance arrived. It is said that mother of Frank Nenes, who was fatally scalded at Kline's Brewery in Carson, a few days ago, is now threatened with blood-poisoning from constantly nursing her son. On Monday night a barn belonging to A. L. McCurdy, with a quantity of hay of O. P. Squire's, was burned at Santa Barbara. The cause of the fire is unknown. Loss about $5,000. No insurance. A heavy hail-storm with thunder and lightning, commenced at Cloverdale on the 6th and lasted an hour. Hail fell as large as quail eggs and was followed by nearly two inches of rain. No damage was done to grapes. Walter Burlingame, grandson of Anson Burlingame, aged eleven years, while out hunting near Bototwort, W. T., accidentally shot himself with a load of buckshot. He was horribly mangled and death was instantaneous. John Gussetti, a fifteen-year-old boy living at Willow Valley, near Nevada City, while out hunting, accidentally shot himself in the left arm and body. The arm was amputated at the shoulder and the lad may recover. As the south-bound train was entering Santa Rua one day last week, Rev. S. W.

Statistics of the Philadelphi Health show that over the human bodies are buried ever the thickly-settled portions of large cemeteries, which receive the bodies, are located upon looking the Schuykill River; the city gets its water supply. A single flash of lightning struck an entire potato field belonging to N. J. Wood county, Conn. The vines tu-trawled over the ground went to pick them, a few days not a potato in the whole first instance on record in which crop was destroyed by the elk. A few years ago what is Double Taxation On the 1st of August last, David McClure, as special counsel for the city of San Francisco, brought suit in the Superior Court, to recover from J. W. Mackay $157,676 city and county tax and $68,352 State tax on bank, mill, mining and other stocks of corporations valued at $10,680,000 for the fiscal year 1880-81, together with 5 per cent per month interest, aggregating nearly $500,000. The cause was transferred to the United States Circuit Court, where it was tried, and yesterday Judge Sawyer rendered judgment in favor of the defendant on his demurrier to the complaint. A syllabus of the decision is as follows: First—The Constitution of California does not authorize or require, but forbids double taxation of property. Second—Taxing all the property of a corporation, and at the same time taxing the stock of the holder, would constitute double taxation. Third—The Constitution and laws of California require all the property of the corporation, and being taxed to the corporation, a further tax levied against the stockholders on the value of the stock held by them, is void. Fourth—Whether an assessment, in gross upon stock in a large number of corporations organized for a large variety of purposes, and upon moneys and solvent credits, the several classes of property so assessed having no relation to each other, and no common element of value, is valid? Race Troubles in Georgia. New York, Sept. 7.—The Times' Atlanta special says: The frequency of outrages upon white women in this State by colored men just now is the topic of widespread agitation. The fact that since the 1st of May more than twenty of these offenses have been reported, and that five negroes have been lynched and legally executed has furnished material to inflame the popular mind. The Republicans of Troupe county, mainly negroes, recently passed resolutions denouncing lynching for any crime, and declared that as law-abiding citizens they would protect untried defendants at all hazards. The Times correspondent adds that the threats of resistance aroused the whites to the fact that they must defend themselves. It is noticeable that while the resolutions condemned lynch law, there was not one word in condemnation of the great crime which necessitates lynching. It is felt that there is danger ahead between the races on this issue.

A pear-tree at Drytown, Amador county, has on it a quantity of ripe fruit as large as a man's fist, also a second crop about the size of a man's thumb, and is also again in full bloom, evidently getting ready for still another crop of fruit. It is said that pine lumber from Arizona is much superior to northern pine in grain, seasoning qualities and strength. The supply is inexhaustible and the traffic promises to assume dimensions of considerable magnitude with reasonable rates for transportation. The Healdsburg Enterprise enumerates 123 acres of hope and 973 pickers in the fields near that place.

At the Martinez schoolhouse on Thursday, the girls started to burn the grass for the improvement of their croquet grounds. The fire got beyond their control and for a while it looked as if the residence of Mrs Mills and other property would be destroyed. The girls worked like heroes and the boys made a fine record as firemen. A bloody tragedy occurred at the notorious St. David's House in San Francisco, where Mrs. Ella McMahon was shot and mortally wounded by Owen McMahon, a soldier at Alcatraz, because, as he claims, she refused to marry him. The wounded woman lies in a critical condition. The assassin was promptly arrested. William Dooley, a young man 22 years of age committed suicide at the Arcade Mill, on the Humboldt road, thirty-five miles from Chico, by blowing his brains out with a shotgun. He had been drinking lately, got into a quarrel with one of the mill hands and was beaten pretty badly on Saturday evening, after which he went away, and nothing was seen of him until he was found near the slaughter-house at the mill.

Mexican Magnificence New Orleans, Sept. 8.—For the coming Exposition a Mexican architect has just completed arrangements for setting up the Mexican buildings, which will be constructed of iron, wood and glass. In the centre of the Mexican garden a Moorish octagonal building is being erected. In the inner court of the portico is to be a specimen of silver valued at $240,000, supported on amethyst pillars. One palm tree for this garden required more than two hundred natives to take it up and transmit it. The building for the Mexican Commission, bands and troops, is said to be an imposing structure. In the main building the space reserved for the Mexican exhibit is to be handsonely decorated, and it is thought the belief will be justified that Mexico is to redeem its promise to "astonish the world." Candid, at Least Hon. Frank Hurd of Ohio, who has just received a renomination to Congress from Toledo District, and who is recognized as one of the most uncompromising freetraders in the Democratic party, was presented with a petition containing six hundred names, asking him to vote for a restoration of the duty on wool. Mr. Hurd replied to the petition by saying that if every one of his constituents signed such a petition he would nevertheless vote for a still further reduction. This is candid, but it remains to be seen whether the avowal will secure Mr. Hurd a re-election. Grape Brandy for Mexico The Internal Revenue officer in San Francisco has received advice from Washington to the effect that hereafter grape brandy may be exported by railroad from this State into Mexico, instead of by steamers, as herefore. This decision is of importance to merchants, as in the past the expense of getting the liquor into inland towns and cities by way of the seashore has been very great. Water is so severe along the roads in Texas that a couple of young men coming from San Antonio on Tuesday with a bottle of whisky were glad to be able to exchange half their whisky for an equal amount of water. A bloody tragedy occurred at the notorious St. David's House in San Francisco, where Mrs. Ella McMahon was shot and mortally wounded by Owen McMahon, a soldier at Alcatraz, because, as he claims, she refused to marry him. The wounded woman lies in a critical condition. The assassin was promptly arrested. William Dooley, a young man 22 years of age committed suicide at the Arcade Mill, on the Humboldt road, thirty-five miles from Chico, by blowing his brains out with a shotgun. He had been drinking lately, got into a quarrel with one of the mill hands and was beaten pretty badly on Saturday evening, after which he went away, and nothing was seen of him until he was found near the slaughter-house at the mill. The New Paper Mill. A correspondent of the Times, describing the new paper mill which is now in operation on the line of the Wilmington road between Compton and Florence says: The paper mill building averages about 130x30 feet, strongly built and well ventilated. There are two steam engines, one of which is 25 and the other 120 horse-power, indicating the great propelling power required to run the massive pulleys, belts, cogwheels and all the different parts of the complicated and yet simply constructed machinery, the latest improved, by E. P. Tanner, of Lee, Massachusetts. Two roller engines serve to make mince meat, or in other words to grind the wheat straw, which is the only kind used, and which will amount to from 800 to 1,000 tons consumed in a year. A large circular "bleach" of five tons capacity is used for cooking the straw, with an iron bottom, over which is a false bottom made of lumber, through which the straw is drained upon its being raised by a powerful screw purchase when taken out for further use. Mr. Bullis made particular mention of the improvement over the old style of "fishing" up the straw by hand. The straw is easily put by hand, after it is cooked, into a rotary cylinder, through which it is passed in process of washing and then put into the "stuff chest" in the basement and from there it is pumped up as it is used for paper. Thus far it is in a crude state, and has to pass through and over machinery about seventy-five feet in length, and comes out in full-fledged brown wrapping paper at the rate of ninety feet (three feet wide) per minute. There is an area of about five acres of the land where an excellent quality and a large quantity of peat is being taken out at the depth of ten feet, which is used for boiler fuel, and which itself is a "rich find." An oil tank is situated at a proper distance from the main building, so as not to interfere with the insurance, and also a lime-house at a convenient distance. The worthy enterprise is styled the "Los Angeles Paper Company," consisting of six stockholders, all of Los Angeles county except one, who is of San Francisco. Mr. James McGurn, lately from New York, and an experienced workman, is the foreman, and Fred Fry has charge of the steam engine. The mill will not get fairly into operation before next week, and when running day and night will require a force of about twenty men. Chien has formally declared war against France. News of the Week. The ingenuity of a gang of invaders on Staten Island, who appointed two of their number to ascend the innate of a house while the others broke in at the back, challenged admiration. In Northern Dakota, recently, a traction engine drew eight plows, turning a and four inches thick as evenly and well as could be done by horse power, and at a rate of over twenty-five acres a day. Over 15,000 Italians have sailed from New York to return to their native country during the past four weeks. The stoppage in railroad building and the hard times have thrown them out of business. W. B. Lyell, a reporter for the Chicago Times, in an altercation at the Fair grounds in Chicago stabbed and killed Daniel Gregg, an engineer on the Northwestern road. The latter had applied an opprobrious epithet to the former. A firm in Philadelphia is building a hat for a man at Jacksonville, Illinois, that will be, it is said, the largest ever made for actual wear. The circumference of the head is to be thirty-one inches, and the size, when turned, ten. The latest cause given for Indian famines is the existence of an excessive number of goats. The theory is that the goats destroy the trees, and the consequent decay of the forests decreases the average rainfall. There are fourteen million goats in the Madras Presidency alone. A butcher in Long Island City became overheated a day or two ago and went into his icebox to cool off. After he had stood about five minutes in the refrigerator, he was attacked with pains in the head, and died within an hour. The funeral of the late Secretary Folger at Geneva, N. Y., on Tuesday, was attended by the President and Cabinet, Governor Cleveland and a large number of prominent men from all parts of the country. Forty thousand people were present. Statistics of the Philadelphia Board of Health show that over three thousand human bodies are buried every year within the thickly-settled portions of the city. The large cemeteries, which receive the bulk of the bodies, are located upon hillsides overlooking the Schnykill River, from which the city gets its water supply. A single flash of lightning last summer struck an entire potato field of several acres belonging to N. J. Wood, in Windham county, Conn. The vines turned yellow and sprawled over the ground. When Wood went to pick them, a few days ago, he found not a potato in the whole field. It is the first instance on record in which a growing crop was destroyed by the electric fluid. A few years ago what is now the great BARGAINS at Reduced Prices for Cash AT RIMPAU'S. In order to make room for our fall and winter importation we have again reduced our prices in our various departments.

The vines turned yellow and sprawled over the ground. When Wood went to pick them, a few days ago, he found not a potato in the whole field. It is the first instance on record in which a growing crop was destroyed by the electric fluid. A few years ago what is now the great onion tract of Chester, in Orange county, N. Y., was a worthless piece of land. To-day it would readily bring $1,000 an acre. Last season on these meadows 120,000 bushels of onions were grown, which were sold for more than $125,000. This season's crop will be even larger. There are no other equally large onion tracts in the country. The National Bank at New Brunswick, N. J., has been swamped by a thieving cashier and an imbecile President. The latter committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. The defalcation is a million dollars. There is great distress among depositors, and the whole city is in a ferment. Walter Carroll, a depositor, cut his throat, and other suicides are predicted. Gov. Cleveland addressed a large assemblage of farmers at Elmira, N. Y., on Monday. Seven thousand men were in line at night in the parade in his honor. The procession was two hours passing the reviewing stand. The parade dismissed, the Governor entered the hotel and held an informal reception. In the course of the evening the Governor was presented with a banter bearing his portrait, the head encircled by four stars, typifying sobriety, justice, honesty, reform. Behind the hills the sun was just rising, and the sun was labeled "Victory." After a general handshaking the Governor retired for the night. At the opening of the West Virginia University last week a colored man named Gabriel Holland, a law student of good ability, applied for admission, but was informed by the President that as this was the first application of a colored man, he would have to refer it to the Board of Regents, who, it is stated, refused his application on the ground that the constitution of the State prohibits a colored man from attending the school. Every member of the Board of Regents is a Democrat, as are all the tutors and professors, except one. The matter will cause trouble. A heavy bet on the Presidential election has been made in Silver City, N. M., between V. C. Place, General Manager of the Pinos Alto Gold and Silver Mining Company, and Charles M. Shannon of the Sentinel. Mr. Place bets the new mill, recently put up at a cost of $40,000, and all the company's mines and property at Pinos Alto, including the mere nile establishment, against the Hughes & Shannon copper property at Clifton. The necessary papers have been made out and placed in escrow pending the result of the election. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. JERSEY SWEET POTATOES.
