THE VERMONT PJICEXIX, BR ATT LEBORO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1891. CURRENT AFFAIRS, 'Villi NHWts IN 1JH11CF. A rightful .Mtllnlloll. Tin' steamer Kim City of New Haven was about luilf way lietween New York tity and llililnoiioit last Friday evening wi 1:100 passengers on board, when lire broke out over the boiler room and blazed up In an alarming manner. The excite ment among the passengers was Intense, and for some minutes a panic was Immi nent. The prompt work of the olllccrs of the boat alone prevented an awful citastrophe. The crew were set at work with axes, chopping away at the wood work In order to get at the blaze. An opening was cut In the floor of the state room over the holler, a hose Inserted and a stream of water was soon playing on the name. After working about an hour the lire was extinguished. A few of the wom en fainted during the excitement but no one was seriously injured. A Colorado Tragedy. Dining a ball at lllue Mountains, Colorado, a few nights ago, a drunken rough by the name of lioach insisted upon dancing. He attempted to remove a young man from the floor in order to make room for himself. Frank Hyde, the son of a merchant, endeavored to end the disturbance when Hoach turned on him with a knife and stabbed him several times. A cow boy then tried to pacify Uoach, whereupon the rough drew his revolver and .shot the cow boy dead. No one in the loom was armed, but a boy went out of the house and secured a rltle. He, lircd, but missed lioach and killed the wife of a prominent resident. During the excitement lioach escaped and has not been seen .luce. An Immense 1Vhcitt Crop. There Is no change In the outlook in the Western states for an Immense wheat crop. The weather continues clear and cool in Minnesota and the Dakotas and every day brings the enormous wheat crop nearer to the point of absolute safety. In the few early fields of spring wheat thus far cut the yield is larger than the estimate of two weeks ago. The only things feared are too much rain anil an early frost. It is thought that 110,000,000 to 115,000,000 bushels will be harvested in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Ootid reports for the Ore gon and Washington crop have also been received. The first liessemer steel rails produced in Maryland was blown by the Maryland steel company at Sparrows Point last Sat urday. With the exception of steel made at a "mill in St. Louis, tills was the lirst production of liessemer steel south of the Mason and Dixon line, and begins the practical operation of one of the largest and completest steel rail plants In the world. It is said tills plant will have a daily capacity of some '.'OOOtons, or a total annual capacity of between l00,000 and 700,000 tons a full third of the total an nual production of the liessemer works of the United Kingdom. Secretary Foster, in a letter to a com mittee of Hebrews in regard ta the iinini jrration laws as affecting the influx of Rus sian Jews, advises that they be scattered as widely as possible over the country and not concentrated in a few localities. There are now 101 citizens of other states in Sioux Falls awaiting action for divorce or acquiring the necessary resi dence before action can be begun. One firm of attorneys has 12 cases in which com plaints will be tiled during the next two months. One of the longest and most cosily rail way bridges in the country Is now being erected in the newest portion of the Unit ed States, almost in its extreme western boundary, the great steel bridge which the Union Pacific is building across the Co lumbia river at Vancouver, Wash. The length from the Washington to the Oregon shore will be 0000 feet, and the draw pier will be over '400 feet long. The cost of the structure will be over ? -1,000,000. S. Gcrber of Omaha, Neb., returned to Russia last March for the purpose of bring ing his family to this country. He was ar rested on a charge of running away to Amer ica, tried, sentenced to jail for one year and live years' exile in Siberia. His prop erty was confiscated. Gcrber is a natural ized American citizen. The drouth in Texas was broken by a heavy rainfall last Sunday. For nine weeks previous to that time only two showers had fallen In the area south of San Antonio for L'OO miles and west for 400 miles. Cot ton bolls were dropping from the stem, the corn crop was ruined and the cattle ranges had been parched. For 14 days great des titution had prevailed along the Rio Grande, from Presidio to Cameron county. Many cattle in Hidalgo and Starr counties died for want of grass. As a result of three annual drouths that country is now desti tute, and lawlessness is general. A contract for extensive coast defence armament was completed last Saturday, when the board of ordnance and fortilica tion reached a decision in the most import ant American gun purchase ever made. This was in awarding the contract for 100 big coast defence guns. The amount ap piopiiated for this purpose Is 5S4,.")00,000, by far the largest sum that lias ever been expended at one time for American ord nance. The guns will not be built at the government arsenals, but at one of three private concerns, probably the Ilethlehem, Pa., iron works. A company with a capital of $2,.-)00,000 has been organized in England to operate a line of steamers direct from Toledo and other Lake Eric ports to Liverpool. The Toledo Hour mills have arranged to ship two-thirds of their output of &000 barrels a day to Liverpool by water. It was a pretty spectacle at Cleveland, (., Saturday when three fast trotters hitched up abreast went a mile without a skiii 1" -:M. The town of Huntington, Conn., was stirred to its depths Saturday by a "patri otic" festival In honor of the withdrawal of the criminal suit against two boys for ringing the church bell the night before July 4. There were over 3000 people pres ent, a band was engaged and various speak ers furnished patriotic fire. A collation was served and the two boys were the he roes of the day. Most people would call it, instead of a patriotic celebration, an idiotic one. The postal authorities have Issued In structions that all American post-ollices designated as exchange offices with Can ada shall bo treated as otlices of destin ation and postmasters thereat have been notified to refuse to certify money orders or forward registered letters payable to tho "Home Fascinator company" of Montreal. This company publishes a monthly journal and offered prizes to tho persons sending the longest list of words made from tho letters in "tho world's fair." The concern adopted tho scheme of notifying by letter thousands of persons In the United States that they had won the third prize, a $120 tea set, in tho contest, requesting that they fdtoiild remit $4.00 to pay for packing and shipping the prize, anil also return tho let ter of notification. Many money orders witli the required amount have been for warded, Tho return of tho circular letter destroyed all written evidence against tho C'nrern. STATE NKWS. A Mechanic tl furiosity, A marvelous mechanical curiosity Is the work of James Sherry of North l'ownal, llenu Ington county. It Is called "The orld, and the platform on which are placed the ligurcs Is a stage ten feet long by four feet wide, under which arc located the actors of the small army of silent workers on the stage. These actors make their appearance In turn and each performs a part to represent his occupation. There is the representation of a Fitchburg rail road train drawing up to a depot near Hoosae tunnel, of men getting out lumber by the old and new ways, and of many other scenes, which are constantly shifting, the llennlngton Uanner says of this won derful piece of mechanism: "An Idea of the work may he had by the fact that, like King Solomon's temple, Mr. Sherrv has worked nearly seven years to complete his undertaking. Though there has not been as many employed on this as on the tem ple of old, the work has, however, been long and tiresome, having been done after his day's work as loom llxer was complet ed. Nearly L'OO pulleys and belts are re quired to run the numerous ilgures, and the work has all been done without any one except the members of the family see ing it." "The World" will be on exhibi tion at llennlngton at the time of the dedi cation of the battle monument. A Willi i:itRlnr'a ltuii. Engine Maquam, running wild, collided Willi a through freight going west on the St. Johnsbury A- LakeChamplaln railroad, near Danville, Saturday noon. The engin eers and firemen all stuck to their engines and were all badly hurt. Engineer Leslie of the Maquam had his leg and arm brok en and received Internal injuries and bums. His recover' Is doubtful. Engineer Leonard was badly burned by steam. A brakemau was tnrown from the train and badly burned by a lire which lie had just started in the i caboose, the flames from which also burned empty cars. The wild engine was backing down grade, and its tender was completely demolished. The engine recoiled from the 1 shock and ran three miles up grade, only stopping when the steam became exhaust- 1 ed. The front of tho freight engine was i demolished. Engineer Leslie is said to ' have been running contrary to orders. The tracks were not torn up, but all trains, including Grand Army specials, were de layed sclera) hours. ( A Shiiilur O-rntiire. ! The Montreal Star says that a singular creature, residing near Irasburg, this state, lias allowed no human being to look upon her during the day for nearly 40 years. Her name is Ann Dennis anil she is said to have been the daughter of a well-to-do farmer. She took up her singular mode j of life after the death of her mother, ; whom she accidentally killed by an over- 1 dose of some opiate. She lives in a small, substantial, one-room cabin, about six miles from town, and remains tightly shut , up during the day and ventures out only . on the darkest nights, when she will walk I into town and transact such business as she may hae, but cannot be induced to enter a room lighted up, save very dimly, and then only when thickly veiled. Those who remember her in her vouth sav that sin- was an unusually pretty, attractive girl and well educated. She lives quite alone, with nothing living to keep her company. Mr. Trunk Leslie Latest. The follow ing from the Hralntrec corre spondence in the West Randolph Herald might be construed as referring to a New 1 ork woman whose journalistic ventures and diamonds have won her world-wide reputation: "Mrs. Frank Leslie was taking milk to the creamery 1 hurstlay, when, ow ing to some misplacement in the harness, the wagon ran against the horse ami the animal kicking, threw Mrs. L. out, break ing one rib and bruising her otherwise. Hie milk was spilled anil the horse was stoped by a man after running a few rods." Mysterious Heaths nt Ilnrre .

The oldest Inhabitant can remember noth ing to excel it. The crops, as a whole, are wonderful; perhaps no one may proxc re markable, but It Is next to never that so high an average Is reached xvlth all. Grass, the most important of all, Is har vested, or the first cut of It Is, ami the yield Is satisfactory. The quantity of hay made, in tills .section at any rate, was some what larger last year than this, but the quality Is the best this year, and very like ly the real value Is equal. Corn, potatoes, oats, wheat, rye and barley are all doing great tilings, and a good crop of apples is promised last of all. Something may hap pen to prevent the lealization of present promise xvith one ciop or another, lint the season is so fur ailxnneed and the rain has been so abundant that in general the har vest is assured. It is a great year for farmers. It is a great year for Western fanners, but no xvherc does the husbandman llud better rea son for smiling upon his own broad acres than right here in this laud of "abandoned farms."

The people of Patten county, Pa., which lies on the central northern bonier of the state, are alarmed, and xvith good cause, over tin- ravages of a worm that is destroy ing the foliage and killing off the hemlock timber. Only a fexv days ago It xvas no ticed by lumbermen that the tops of the heavy timber on the mountains were turn ing brown, as though the trees were dying. The trees looked exactly as though they had gone through a forest tire, or were withering up for lack of irrigation. An investigation was at once set on foot by the lumbermen interested and it was discover ed that the affected trees xvere covered with myriads of worms. The worms were eat- i lug the green and tender foliage of this year's growth, and when that hail disap peared turned their attention to the growth of the preceding year, the woody txvig not being touched. A remarkable scene Is pre sented in the "chopping" where the bark peelers are at work. The worms are .swarming about the men I v the millions. while on all the trees from Coudersport to !

The worm that is doing tho damage is of tlie measuring worm species, about an inch long and nearly an eighth of an inch in diameter. They are spreading to other counties and a great disaster threatens the immense hemlock region which extends from Punxsutawney, In Jefferson county, to Elmira, N.

On tite same day that the newspapers of tho country announced that Mr. Quay had yielded to the pressure of Republican opin ion, and resigned from the Republican na tional committee, the Democrats of Mary land, In state convention assembled, unan imously and enthusiastically adopted the following resolutions: "1,'mnlueil: Tlmt the Hon. Arthur I'.

These txxo Incidents forcibly suggest the contrast In moral tone between the Repub lican and the Democratic parties. The Republican party occasionally falls Into the hands of unworthy leaders. It was guilty of a grave Indiscretion, as Is now made clear, when It elevated Mr. Quay to the chairmanship of the national committee. There xvas, however, no way in which lie could he .summarily unseated, and the only thing that the party could do was to pro test against his continuance in the olllce for xxliich he xvas plainly unlit, and to urge his voluntary resignation. This has been done. One representative Republican jour nal after another has come out and de manded his withdrawal. The profound convictions of tlie party on this subject have been made so manifest that finally Mr. Quay, in spite of his tenacity of will and boasted iuvuhicrahillly to criticism, has been forced to retire. How different is the attitude of the Democratic party. Mr. Gorman Is a jioli tician of the same obnoxious type as Mr. Quay. In fact, of the two men Mr. Gor man is politically the more obnoxious, for his iiernl-ious activity has extended oxer a much longer period, and his reputation xxas xx ell understood before Mr. Quay, a comparatively unknown man outside of Pelinsylxania. was first made chairman of the Republican national committee. .Mr. Gorman, from the outset of his public ca reer, has embodied all that is unwholesome and dangerous In ettrre'ut hjIHIcs. He lirst leaped into notoriety because of the tre mendously effective parly machine that he had built up in Maryland by the aid of the thugs of Baltimore, lie always has been, and Is now. hated hy the best elements In the Democratic party in ids state, hut he lias relentlessly crushed his opponents un til they do not now dale to lift a finger to resist him. There is not a single measure of impor tance xvith which in all his years in the na tional senate his name has been prominent ly identified. He lias figured simply as a master of the arts of trickery and ob struction. In political management he is confessedly the most utiscupulous and adroit corruptiouist that even the prolific Democratic party has ever produced. He is a sworn foe to civil service reform, to a free ballot and to an honest currency. This is the man whose "distinguished ser vices," "ceaseless vigilance," "dauntless courage" and "rare tact and ability" are enthusiastically lauded by the Democracy of Maryland. This is the man who lias just been selected to succeed Brice as chairman of the Democratic national com mittee in the next national campaign un less, indeed, he is nominated, meantime, as his party's candidate for President. It is a profound, an instructive contrast. The Republican party lias sullicient vigor of moral fibre, sullicient courage and con scientiousness, to rid itself of unxvorthy leaders. It sometimes takes a severe and protracted struggle to accomplish this, but sooner or later it is accomplished. The Democratic party, on the other hand, not only lacks tho moral vigor to rid Itself of its unworthy leaders, but it even lacks the discernment to discover that they are un worthy. Nay, even worse than this, it slioxvers witli fulsome praises men xvliose IMilitical records are as a stench In the nos trils of the nation. There can be no more Instructive spectacle to young men about to make their choice between the two groat political parties than the sight of the un worthy head of the Republican organiza tion retiring, under pressure, in disgrace, and the unworthy head of the Democratic organization petted and applauded, and urged hy his political friends, in language of sickening extravagance, for the highest honors his party can In-stoxv. 2ool l.oaU. flood looks are more than skin deep, depending iitwn a healthy condition of the vital organs.
