The clothing store of Huntington Co. and the hardwav store of C. ti. Mason were were broken open Tuesday night. The front doors were forced open with chisels. The glass was broken in Mason's door and the bolts fastening the top and bottom, con nected by a rod, were unfastened and the doors pushed in far enough to let the lock bolt out. One hand of the thief got a severe cut, judging from the lilood left about the store. A quantity of knives and two or three revol vers were taken from the show case, and eight or ten dollars in silver were taken from the safe, which Mr. Mason thinks was not locked, Some hats, clothing, a fur cap and two or three dozen silk handkerchiefs were taken front Huntington’s. The amount of tiie loss is not definitely known, but is not sup posed to be large. The thief was tracked towards the lower end of the village, after which no further trace could be found.

THE SHAW CASE. A Henring Before Judge Brooks.nt East Cambridge. Boston, Dec. 31. At the insolvency court at East Cambridge Wednesday forenoon, before Judge Brooks, the adjourned hearing was held in the case of Shaw Bros., insolvent debtors, it being expected that a decision would be rendered on the composition of 30 cents on a dollar. It was stated by one of the creditors that as the decision of Judge Field of the Supreme Court was still pending it would not be fair to make a decision on the final settlement until the decision was rendered. Judge Brooks then adjourned the hearing until Thursday, Jan. 8, at which time he will ren der his decision. 1*01.0. The W. II. T’s ol Lewiston Defeated by llijons ot Portland. Portland, Dec. 31.

Booming the Stock of the American Electric and Illuminating Com pany-Increasing Demand lor Stock of the Company. [Speeial to the Kennebec Journal.] Boston, Dec. 31. There is an active demand for botli the preferred and common stock of the Am ri ican Electric and Illumiuating Co., and much higher prices are talked. The management is squaring itself for an active and aggres sive bnsiness campaign for the year 1885,and it is claimed that the past success which the I company has met with has stimulated the directors, many of whom are numbered among the most successful business men of New England, to make a determined push for supremacy in the electric lighting busi ness throughout the country. The full board wore in session two weeks ago, and again yesterday, busily engaged in discussing plans for future operations, and it is under stood that they are very enthusiastic regard ing the future business ol the company. There is no doubt about the company occupy ing a much stronger position than the general public lias given it credit fjpr. One thing is certain—President Goff lias the heartv and unanimous support of his directors and business associates, all ol whom now unite in endorsing his management and assuring him of cordial financial support iu the futuie. The common stock, which has so long suf fered from the prevalent depression, is show ing signs of renewed activity, and brokers are anxiously inquiring for it today to fill out of town orders. The preferred stock is also in increased demand, and though it inis never fallen so low as the common, yet the present quotations are manifestly no fair price for a 13 per cent, stock. Several or ders for the preferred at 87 a share were re ceived yesterday by prominent brokers and could not be filled. It is said that certain parties hitherto prominent in bearing the stock, are now anxiously wiring and writing to out-of-town parties to pick up all hits pos sible. The common has advanced from 95 cts. to 81.35, and 83.00 is talked within 10 days. The preferred is in active demand at 87, and 810 w ill no doubt be reached within the next two weeks. AN INTERESTING IIOOK. A New Volume of Fishing Interests Just Issued Giving a Pleasing and In* teresting Account of the Same. Washington, Dec. 31. A public printer has published a volume of matter furnished by Prof. Spencer F- Baird, U. S. commissioner of fish, and fisheries relative to new observations, discoveries and applications connected with fish culture, rel ative to the oyster industry of the world. As to the future of the oyster interest of this country, St. Winslow says “The area of the great beds of the Chesapeak and Delaware bays is 471.171 acres, and the product per acre. was. in 1889, 41 bushels. At present it is clearly not more than 23 bushels. If the deterioration continues at the 3ame rate, the result is too evident to need comment. That remedial measures should be taken is imperatively necessary.” Of the loss of life in the New England fisheries, Oapt. J W. Collins says: “In ten years from 1873, the total loss of vessels has been 147, of which 82 foundered at sea, 7 of the latter having been abandoned in a sink ing condition. The total loss of life has been 1233 men,, as near as I can get at mak ing at what I believe to be an under estimate, for years of which I can obtain no statistics of widows and children left; 322 women have been made widows and 658 children have been made fatherless by disasters to the Gloucester fleet alone.” Prof. Bichard A Proctor furnishes an ac count of the discovery of the marine monster near Panama. He says “The evidence now obtained confirms the theory advanced in 1848, and since has been maintained by Gosse and others, that the race of marine animals exist, including several varieties which arc characterized by a serpentine neck, head small compared with the body but large com pared with the thickness of the neck, an air breather and derives its propelling power by paddles.” A HEROIC DEED. A Son Swims and Saves the Ei!e of Ilis Father Who was Hashed Into the Sea bv Waves During a Tre* mendons Hurricane. Philadelphia, Dec 31. A thrilling 9tory of lu/rioniam at sea. is published bv the Press today, as told bv Capt. Rice of schooner A. Griffin, which ar rived yesterday. He says: December 18th, the wind blew'a regular hurricane to the north-east, then 30 miles south of Cape Hen lopen. The hurricane carried us along at a fearful rate. Life lines were stretched along the deck and preparations were made to leave the ship in case she should spring a leak or he flooded. Once we were struck full on the starboard side with a great roll of water and the next moment sank beneath the second great wave that closely followed the first, and almost swallowed us up. "The sea made a complete break over the vessel and there was not a man who was not dashed from his place i>:,d thrown about on the deck. That fore noon 1 was knocked overboard, i sank into the sea thinking mv last hour had come. I gave up all hope. I was just aft of the ship after rising from my first sinking My son swam out to me. though how he bulleted those waves, God only knows. A moment later he had me in grip and with a power almost super human. kept himself up while he passed the rope around my waist, then catching the rope himself and holding me up, for I was help less. he signalled the crew to draw us in. They got us alongside and we were safe. I was pulled up first, more dead than alive,and my son was then hauled up. CONDITION OF TENEMENTS Id Jfew York, as Shown by the l orami siouer’s Report. __ New York. Dec. 31. Inspector Frederick N. Owen, who has spent three months in the examination of the tenement houses io the city made a re port to the tennement house commission to ilis figures show that the condition of the tenants as a class is slightly in advance of the buildings they occupy, and upsets the theory that tenants make buildings shabby. In point of clenliness|tbe inspector places the Germans first, and French, English. Irish, Polish, Jews and Italians in the order named. THE NEW YORK ALDERMEN. i Mayor fc'dson Appointments a Successor to Thompson—A Hearing Before Judge Truax. New York, Dec. 91. A second unsuccessful attempt was made today at Mayor Edson's office to secure a subpoema on him, personally. It is claimed that under the provisions of the act and law passed this year. Mayor Edsor. can make appointments for offices now held by Commissioner Taompson and Corporation Counsel Lacombs, tomorrow morning, inde pendent of the aldermen, and that he will do so. Members of the county democracy say that any attempt of the kind will be defeated by legal measures. The board reassembled at 5 o’clock. Af ter some routine bu-iness had been transact ed the mayor sent in the name of Roland M. Squire as a nominee for commissioner of public works. Thr board promptly con firmed the nomination by a unanimous vote. Alderman Kirk being absent and Alderman O’Corner excused. Then the nomination of ex-Lt Gov. Dorsheimer was received. This name was rejected by a vote of 16 to 7. The nomination of Squire was a complete sur prise. Nobody knew who he was. He had never figured in political life. He is sajd to be friendly to both Tammany and the county democracy. 1 he board adjourred without confirming the nomination for corporation counsel. Roland M. Squire, to-day confirmed Com missioner of Public Vorks, to succeed Hu bert Thompson, was born in Springfield. Vermont, and is now forty five years of age. He and Mayor Edson formed a friendship as schoolmates in Chester, Vermont, which always lasted. Mr Squire began the prac tice of law in Boston, and for several years was partner of ex-Crllector Simmons. He retired three years ago, and came to New York to reside. He h«s never practiced here, hut lived in retirement Mr. Squire took the oath of office tonight. Tile mayor notified Police Captain Steers to take charge of the books, papers, etc., at midnight as his (the mayor's) term of office would expire at that lour. This notice gave corroboration to the rumor that President Kirk of the board of aldermen would assume the office of acting mayor ami appoint a corporation counsel btfore noon, when Grace will become mayor. The arguments for the counsel of mayor and aldermen to vac at* the injunction grant ed by Judge Beach, restraining the board from confirming any nominations, were heard today by Judge Truax, in the Supreme Court. The counsel fur the defendants read an affidavit of the Tammany alderined. and statements made in tile affidavits of O'Brien, Jones and other assailants, denying all knowledge of corrupt birgains, were read. The general sessiois’ grand jury this afternoon asked their ifischarge, stating that they had been unable to serve subpoenas on the mayor, owing to h is refusal to admit a subpeona server. They felt that the mayor had treated them with contempt. The jury was discharged, the court remarking that the matter would he called to the attention of their successors. Jolir O'Brien, the con tractor, on whose sworn testimony of an at tempt to bribery the injunction was issued against the aldermen, vas arrested today, charged with failing to inswer a subpeoena to attend before the jury and testify. The counsel for the plaintiff then reviewed the affidavits and cited the authorities. Geo. W. Bliss, who represented Alderman O'Corner, said in reply: “It is sought here to elevate to the dignity of the basis of an injunction of this amazing character the tattle of iewspapers. and which every paper, if they hail been right in the past, would have established tile unfitness of the very judge who is sitting in this hearing" (sensation.) Judge Truax interrupted Bliss, and said that lie could not nor would not allow Bliss to make such references to the court and that a gentleman would not have done it. The judge said that he would commit him for contempt if he did not withdraw what he had said of the court. Bliss said that lie would withdraw it, ami continued his argu ment. Burke Cockran followed for the Tam many alderman. Judge Truax, after hearing the argument, took the papers. He may give a decision tomorrow. FACTS AND FIGURES In Regards to the Business ot the Fast Vear. Boston, Dec. 31. The Globe tomorrow forenoon will publish a special edition, giving a comprehensive summary of the business of Boston and other New Kngland cities during the past year. From the mass of the matter published the following facts and figures were gleaned Kxeept in some few branches the profits have been smaller and the volume of busi ness less than in 1883. The retail dry good trade, however, has never been more prosperous, and it has been years since the building trade has been in such good condi tion. In Boston 1438 buildings have been erected, at a cost of $7,500,000, an unprece dented record. Paid out in dividends in Boston, during 1884, $87,305,800—a sum far above the average of years since 1878. In cotton goods, about the same amount ot business has been done in 1884 as in 1883, at a smaller profit. The eight broad gauge railroads running into the city made a gain in net income over 1883 of $31-8,073. In bread sttifls there has been a marked im provement during the 'year. Most of the j manufacturing cities of Massachusetts report a very fair business during the year as com- pared with that of 1883, although the profits are smaller. Maine, New- Hampshire and Rhode Island cities have done a much better business than was anticipated at the beginning of the year. Interviews with several hundred of the lead ing merchants and manufacturers show them to be in very a hopeful and confident state of mind, and they are almost unanimous in pre dicting a good paving business in 1885. A Strauge Cusp. Laconia. N. II Dec. 31. Chas. Watermar. an employee of the La conia Car Co died list Sunday afternoon, j after an illness of a few- hours. The pbvsi-1 cians pronounced the cause of death neuralgia of the heart. The funeral took place yester- day. The body was placed in the tomb with the cover of the ca-ket unfastened. His wife j f*ared he was not dead. She visited the tomb to-day, when all doubts w ere removed. There have been rumors of foul play in connection 1 with the cas-, and an investigation will prob- ably be made. _ Chicago f raud-. Chicago, III., Dec. 31. The charge against Mr. J. Gallagher, for participation in the 18th ward election frauds, was dismissed before the United States com missioner, on motion of the district attorney this A. M. He was immediately re-arrested on a back warrant, and takelb before the commissioner and held for examination Wed nesday. EXTRACTS From the Diary ot Lieut. Lockwood of the Greely Arctic Colony. Washington, Dec. 31. The National Republican tomorrow will contain further extracts from the diary of Lieut. Lockwood of the Greely Arctic Colony, beginning Dec. 23. the day after Christmas, when they breakfasted “late” on soup made of seal blubber and supped on “English meat.” The record is carried down to the nigiit of Jan. 1st. In the entry for Dec. 2(>. i Lieut. Lockwood says that in addition to the meals above mentioned he had “a few bread crumbs and some salt water and gunpowder" which Long warmed for him over the lamp. He says “Wespok; a good deal today of the prospects of getting across the straits in the spring, of Rice's preliminary trip and the chances of finding food there, etc. We count on 2+0 rations as certain at Littleton Island.” On Dec. 27, with the thermometer 29.5 deg. below zero, he writes of their suffering from cold hands and feet, and says: “The coldness of the extremities is due evidently to short rations and show s how food is fuel in this country.” He also enters this day: “Urainerd shot a blue fox last night. This gives us extra for next Sunday. How impa tiently we watch the cook as he divides the bread and meat, eacli fearing that he may get a little less than his share. Other mess have one of their number to fill the plates, but we still trust to Long.” On Dec. 28, the thermometer al a minus ot 35 deg., some rope was brought in ami cut up for fuel. He says in the entry: “The house was exceptionally quiet today, and most of the forenoon passed with every one down in their bags Little or nothing was said. No particular reason for this quiet. In the evening they talked about the quantity of fuel left them, and found they had 1C hard wood barrels on hand.” Heae Lt. Lockwood writes: “Lt. Greely seemed obliged to look on the dark side of the subject and directed Sergt. Brainerd to issue 10 pounds of blubber for the experi ment. This is unlortunate, as it will dimin ish our food by that muck blubber.” He writes also “I am eking out my to bacco with tea. Today I found two or three pieces of raw fox—mere scraps—on the floor, and brushing the dampness off, ate them with great satisfaction. On December 29 the thermometer was minus 31.5 degrees. In his entry he speaks of the trading be tween members of the party of one article of food for another ami of portions of one day's rations for portions of another days. He writes also “There is now a percepta ble difference in tile amount of light. Only two more days of this year, thank God." With respect to the proposal to experiment with seal blubber for fuel, he says that Lt. j Kislingburv protested, and that he (Lock- j wood) also took occasion to express disap- J proval of the proposition. On the next day, Dec. 30, he writes that trading in food continued until a late hour, and that one bargain was struck at 3 o’clock. In the morning the entry for New Year's Day is as follows “Tile day was passed in bags. Lieut. Greely paid me a visit shortly after breakfast. He told me the doctor had made overtures to make allowance for the offensive remarks made some time ago and he had declined. He told me also that some time ago he felt certain that the doctor was eating up during the night. Corporal Elli son’s allowance of bread was within two anil one half feet of the doctor at the time and would swear to the fact before a court. He thought it right to mention the fact to Brain erd, but bad said nothing to any one else about it. But this as well as former matters be should make subject of the report to the proper authorities. He told me that Ellison's hands and feet were suppurating fast and that amputation would evidently have to he performed. I ate today a good breakfast of rice and tomatoes with some bread. At noon I ate three dog biscuits with butter, and later we bad cloudberries and rum and lemon. Supper consisted of fine seal meat stew. While eating I bad the misfortune to spill the last drop of niv tea. Very kindly Lieut. Greely, Long and Biedbeck gave me a little so that a cupful was regained. When Ellis percived that I had spilled my tea. lie offered to trade with me for a cupful, but as he took advantage of my misfortune I declined. We have all been feeling remarkably high spirit ed today, on the coming of the new year. The condition of the party is far superior to anything I expected and further bids well to come out all right. How my thoughts wan der homeward to the dear ones there, are they thinking of me? TELEG RAIMI R EDUCTION. A Large Reduction in Telegraph Rate** Throughout the United States. Washington, Dee, 31.

The attention of Hendricks having oeen called to the letter of President-elect Cleve land and George William Curtis with ref- j erence to the observance of the civil law provisions, Gov. Hendricks said: “I think the letter a wise and forcible one, and I ap prove of the sentiment therein expressed. I think Gov. Cleveland has been wise to ex press himself so clerely before assuming the the responsibility of his office." Gov. Hendricks and wife will leave in a few days for a trip south, and will spend several days visiting the New Orleans ex position. FOREIGN (SEWS FROM EGY FT. On the March—Geu. Molsely Criticised j as Reckless—Although short «f Supplies Hear up Cheerlully. Cairo. Dec. 31. General Earle's brigade of infantry has i passed Meraji and is encamped t irteen miles from Grendid Cataract, which will be reached at noon today. It is reported that the Mon aseers are advancing to dispute the narrow pass above Dargvat. Gen. Earle's orders allow him to extend a helping hand to Gen. Stewart if necessary. Gen WolseU v's plans are severely criticised at Korti as being reck less. Korti, Dee. 31. Native servants refuse to accompany Gen. Stewart’s column, but are willing to accom pany Gen. Earle’s. This shows the opinion of the natives relative to the dangers of the expedition. It is feared that in case of sud den attack, the obstinacy of the camels will be a source of danger. The columns will be arranged in the form of a hollow square if attacked. Gen Stewart, with the mounted infantry and unloaded camels, is expected hack in ten days when Gen. Lord Wolsely, with the main body of the expedition will ad vance toward Shendy. The march of the English expedition past this place was an imposing sight. Th? col umn was nearly a hundre l yards wide and a mile long. The huzzars were sent ahead to prepare tea but they took the wrong path. After a march ot ten miles, the troupe halted for All hour's rest. The men who were compelled to go without tea bore up cheerfully The small sup ply of water carried was too precious to ad mit of another supply of tea being prepared. The march was resumed bv moonlight. The troops hoped to reach the first wells by eight o’clock in the morning. It is believed that the huzzars awaited the coming up of the other troops at a point 7 mile* too far to the westward. MOKE TEKKOK. Another Earthquake Nhock Fell in Spain—Two Thousand People hilled. Madrid, Dec. 31. Further earthquake shocks were exper ienced yesterday at Velez in .Malaga, a city of thirty thousand people. A few miles from Malaga the shocks were of much viol ence and many houses that had been prev iously damaged, were utterly destroyed. Peo ple were terror stricken and have abandoned the city altogether. They are now encamped outside the town. A thousand houses at Albania are in ruins. The work of searching the debris for dead bodies of victims of the disaster was vigor ously prosecuted yesterday, and during the day 192 bodies wege recovered. Shocks yesterday were also felt with more or less severity elsewhere throughout the province of Malaga and throught Grenada. There was a further loss of life ami property. The estimated total number ot persons killed since Christmas is 2000. Alhuvueres has been destroyed. Manv people perished, among whom were several local officials. Subscriptions for the relief of sufferers have been started at Madrid, Malaga and Granada. The shocks yesterday in Granada ami Malaga was very disastrous and attended with heavy mortality. The panic caused by the recent earthquake is increasing at Archidona, Granada. Lonox and Velez Malaga. The inhabitants are still encamped in the fit Ids. The museum, university, hospital, prison and government offices at Granada were more or less severely damaged. EVENTS OF THE YEAR. The London Times’ Review ot Affair* in America, London, Dec. 31. The London Times this morning has a ten column review of the events ot 1884. Re ferring to America, it sav» The absorbing topic of the year was the election of the President. The session of Congress ending in March was rendered ab ortive, both parties desiring to avoiJ the di rect issue on the question of free trade which was momentarily shelved. The democrats preferred to play a waiting game. Imping to regain the control of the executive by the probability of the republicans selecting an objectionable candidate. The hope was ful filled. Mr. Rlaine's appeals to the anti-Kng lish spirit of the Irish voters failed to seduce them from their alliance with the democrats.

There is a general uprising in the Hocking Valley. Sheritl McCarthy, with a large posse, left on a special tram at a late hour last night to trace the mob. A large shipment of dyna mite was received at Xelsonville. yesterday. Attacks commenced on the railroad bridge. Special officers are being taken to the region of Buchtel, where strikes are said to be con centrating with communication cut oft at min ing points. Further particulars cannot be obtained. Columbus, O Dec. 31. The officers of the Hocking Valley railroad and coal exchange r. port everything quiet in the valley this morning, though they express the opinion that there will be some trouble to-night. They say the demonstrations last night failed to take active form, for the rea son tiiat the strikers were met with such a strong force of guards at the point where they expected to make an attack. They con sider the immense demonstrations at this time as an effort to keep the miners from breaking their ranks and going to work, as many of them have decided to do. Karly this morning several shots were tired at Hap py Valley, but without doing any damage, and this was the extent of the outward dem onstration on the part of the unlawful ele ment.

The Kansas Prohibitionist, Str John’s organ in that State, has been sold by the sheriff. St. John is getting wrathv over the charge that he sold out to the democrats.. Editor McCulloch of St. Louis says he can prove them. Railroads and hotels are suffering on ac count of the general business depression, also theatres and other places of amuse ment. It is a pretty tight time but it will not last always. Senator Wade Hampton, of South Car olina. takes the rather equivocal position in a published letter that every political right now enjoyed l>v the negroes will be protected by the democrats.” Mr. Beecher talks as well asaeanary sings, and his talking in these days is of but lit tle more consequence than the chatter of a mocking bird. The pulpit ot the coun try will bo relieved from a good deal of odium when Beecher retires. The Atlanta Constituion supposes for a moment that the Southern colored vote is bulldozed and counted out and then asks: “Where will you find a remedy?” Or. as the late Mr. Tweed used to say: “What are you going to do about it?” A Washington letter says that some of the men who left their desks in the de partments in 1H111 to enlist in the confed erate army are now preparing to ask for restoration which will involve the dismis sal of :ne Union veterans who have be come their successors. The Argus publishes the deceptive ar ticle of the Sprimrfield Republican in re gard to Mr. Blaine’s charge against the South. When the truth will not answer the purposes of the democracy they inva riably resort to falsehood, but such a shift when exposed brings weightier condem nation than though it had not been tried. The loss of life and property caused by the recent earthquake in Spain is Increased a> further details of it are received. The number of persons who perished is now estimated at ”,000, and it probably will grow larger rather than smaller. Other shocks have also occurred in Wales and Austria—countries where they are not at all common. The prospects of the bill for placing General Grant’s name on the retired list of the Army, are not good at present. The bill passed the Senate on May 1:1 and was placed on the Speaker’s table in the House, where it now remains buried under a hundred and twenty-seven other bills, without a possible chance of resurrection. It has not even been referred to the House military committee, the chairman of which. General ltosecrans. is thought to be opposed to it. The only way that it cou’d be reached would be by taking it up by unanimous consent, and this is out of the question, in view of the tact that there is a decided opposition to it. “Hungry and thirsty democrats,” says j the Tribune, “should not be too awfully discouraged over Mr. Cleveland’s latest j civil service profession Between the lines ol his announcement, in his letter to the Civil Service Rctorm League, of his I stern determination to discipline republi- can officials who have been prominent in politics, 'hey may read tidings of comfort and joy. This declaration is in line with Mr. Hendrick's statement that the only wav to ‘get at the books’ which contain the proofs ot ‘republican villany’ is to turn out the men who have charge of them. These expressions, rightfully in terpreted. seem to be about as broad as charity and to cover a vast amount ot pat ronage.” The efforts to assist General Grant in his pecuniary affairs have not yet been suceesstul. The committee who propose to raise a sum sufficient to satisfy the Vanderbilt judgment against the Gener al's belongings, were convinced upon consultation with the foremost lawyers in New York, that if they did this, and the goods were removed, they could, in all probability be once more taken possession of. and by Ward’s creditors. This, there fore, compels the friends of the ex Presi dent to proceed very carefully. The debts of Ward are so numerous and ot such large amounts that the committee do not feel prepared to see Gen. Grant’s property rescued only to be again levied upon by some other individual to whom the estate owes money. There is a difference of opinion among the lawyers, as to whether this could be done, and until it is settled, General Grant’s home must remain in the possession of the deputy sheriff placed in it by Mr, Vanderbilt. A Wild Woman in the Woods. The Discovery Made By a Party of Hesters at Wormelsdorf, is Pesssyl VASIA. A special to the Philadelphia Times, from Wormelsdorf, Penn., says: “For several months the citizans of this village (situated near the foot of the outh Mountains, a range of the Alleghanies.) h've been disturb ed by the most nnearthly yells coming from the hills. It was generally supposed that they emanat-d from some strange animal which had taken refuge in the mountains. Mr. Griesemen of the Bethany Orphans' Home, a Reformed Church institution at the foot of the mountain, several times heard the screams. Franklin Katterman. Jacob Mat thews and Theodore Startze, all old hunters, followed up the trail for several hours, but were finally obliged to give np. as they were led into the mountain fastness Stones and huge rocks were rolled down the hid in their path, and they were obliged to dodge these missels every now and then Theodore Startze savs he saw a living thing, half hu man. half beast. He stood still, the blood chilling in his veins. He had his gun with him. but he dared .not shoot. He next started on a run, and to use his own words, flew down the hill, and did not stop until he got home, not taking time to look whether the beast was following him or not A partv of employes at the Robesonia Fur nace shot at the animal, but missed it. It is stated that the managers of the furnace of fered $200 for the animal alive and $100 for its dead body. For some weeks every per son has given the mountain a wide berth. Several farmers lost sheep and chickens. Monday the mystery was cleared up. A par ty of Womelsiiorf hunters scoured the moun tain. They found human footsteps in the snow, which they tracked to a rude hut—a charcoal burner’s deserted cabin. Here thev found a young woman, probably 25 years of age. She was thinly dressed, her surround ings were uncouth, and she app *ared much frightened. She has a wild and haggard look, and who she is no one knows She will probably be removed to the poorhouse. She threw stones down the mountain and yelled to scare the people away. She is of muscular build, and many think she has been following this kind of life for years, judging liy her general appearance. She has shown the strength of an Amazon, aud the people have decided to let her alone until the au thorities take her in charge." [New York Times (Ind.j] The Black Line in the South. From a well-informed person who has recently been in Raleigh, N. 0 anil who has read the dispatch in The Times of Sat urday describing the lynching of the negri burglars, Smith and Davis, at Clavton, an interesting st irv is obtained about the failure to punish two other burglars, not black, for an offence similar to that which w as followed by a Kuklux execution without regarJ to the forms of law. Ah >ut a week ago Newcorabe Andrews and Willie Harrison, white, each about 22 or 23 years of age, both of whom have been on board a training ship in the navy, and who both belong to families of influence in Raleigh, broke into the store of W. II. Johnston. They were seen and recognized by a colored woman, and were arrest m1 and taken to the station house by the Raleigh police, They were only detained a few hours and f >r some cause not learned, Mr Johnston did not make any complaint against them. The chief of police, Charles D. Heartt, released them from custody, although it was generally known that the evidence of the colored j woman who saw- them break into J the store would be sufficient to justify their detention until the (Irani! Jury should meet on Jan j. It is also asserted that no record of tue arrest of Andrews ami Harrison w as made at the police headquarters and that the Mayor of the city who, under the law of the State, is also a justice of the peace for Wake county, w as informed of the wh de proceed- j ing. The gentleman who gives this informa tion is indignant that in Wake county and in Raleigh, having a democratic county and city government, such discrimination should have b ten made against blai k burglars The two negroes who were lynched at Clayton,in Johnston county, adjoining Wake, wire arrested on suspicion bv C. D. Heartt. the superintendent of police, who arrested and released Andrews ami Harrison, ami whom he describes as a democrat of “the ••red-mouthed kind." Harrison and Andrews were reported t i have gone to Wilmington for a Christmas spree. There was a good deal of talk in Johnston and Wake counties about the killing of ttie negro burglars. A republican of Johnson countv relates that the democrats of Clayton let out their plans before they broke into the jail to get at the negroes, with the purpose of making all re publicans parties to the lynching if an inves tigation was ordered.

JI'DftE'S remarks la Sentencing John s. Biker on Tuesday. On motion of County Attorney Haines, John S. Baker, convicted of murder in the second degree, and Harry Burns, convicted of manslaughter, were brought in and placed at the bar. Mr. Haines moved for sentence in the ease of Baker. Before pronouncing sentence upon Baker the court said: The government claimed that the prisoner was guilty of the highest crime known to the laws of this State, viz., murder of the first degree The plain language of the statute was tw ice given to the jury bv the court, and its application explained by reference to the definition of other crimes, and of an "at tempt.” “When murder is committed in perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate a crime punishable by imprisonment for life, or for an unlimited term of years, it shall be deemed murder of the first degree.” In ad dition to this the iury were three times re quired, in the course of the charge, to deter mine, independently of bis purpose in going there, whether the prisoner applied the vio lence and caused the death, in attempting to perpetrate the crime of rape, and if so, they were told, be would be guilty of murder in the first degree. Once they were told that if he applied the violence for the independent and different purpose claimed by the counsel for the prisoner, he would be guilty of mur der in the second degree, it being “murder committed otherwise than is set forth” in the section read, for causing death either in the pursuit of the unlawful design claimed, or by an act in itself “peculiarly dangerous to human life.” The last sentences in the charge relating to the issue were as follows: “The great and solemn responsibility is upon you to deter mine what the nature of that transaction was, and whether he applied that violence in per petrating or attempting to perpetrate the crime of rape. It so, it is your duty to ren der a verdict of ‘guilty of murder in the first degree.’ If not, vou are only authorized to render a verdict for murder in the second degree.” The presiding judge is prohibited by statute from expressing any opinion upon issues of fact, and by his position from enforcing any by way of argument. Notwithstanding the able arguments of the prosecuting officers, the jury found that the prisoner did not apply the violence in attempting to commit the crime of rape, and accordingly found him guilty of murder in the second degree. It therefore only remains for me to pro nounce upon the prisoner the sentence of the law. John S. Baker, the sentence of the law is that yon be punished by imprisonment at hard labor during the period of your natural life, and that this sentence be inflicted upon you in the State prison at Thomaston in our county of Knox, and that you be now le manded to jail to remain until removed to the State prison in pursuance of this sentence.

The visits of the year have been unusually gratifying, as marked progress in ail that tends to the com fort and recovery of the patients has been noted. Very little well-grounded cause for complaint has been found. The present corps of officers and attendants are humane and efficient. The superintendent has proved himself an excellent officer. It is regretted that there is no established system of employ ment. More patients than usual, however, have been given occupation out of doors. The report earnestly advises the removal of the criminal insane to a ward or building where they may not be associated with the inmates whose tastes and habits are entirely distinct, and regards the action of the trus tees in expending a sum in excess of the appropriations in making the improvements, as wise and proper.

Prof. William Brown of the Ontario Ag ricultural College, has repeatedly declared that peas form a better and cheaper food than does corn for stock. Others, who have experience, assert the same, yet very few peas have ever been fed in the United States. Farmers in Northern Illi nois say that peas cannot be raised profit ably in"this climate; but several varieties of garden peas flourish here. Is it not i possible that this matter has not been suf ficiently tested, and that stock owners are neglecting a profitable food crop when they ignore the peaP Those who have practical experience in growing peas, and in feeding them to stock, will confer a favor on many farmers if they will give an aocount of that experience. The points of especial interest, would be the cost of growing the peas, the value of the vine and the seed, in feeding, and the best methods known to them for growing and feeding the crop. Skilful professors, experimenting witn all the advantages of State appliances, chemists, who have analyzed the pea and its vine, and successful feeders and breeders in Canada and Great Brit ain ha\e found peas a satisfacto ry crop. They have been tried in the United States, but the fashion has been to grow corn as almost the only grain crop for feeding animals. Corn, however, produces a large quantity of fat, which has been considered the chief object in feeding. But people are learning that fat is not desirable food in a climate so tem perate as that of this country. Nutritious, tender, juicy flesh, free from an excess of tallow or lard, is wanted for food. The demand for meats of this description will grow stronger year by year. It will re quire and cause a marked change in methods ot feeding in this country. Flesh forming foods for stock will be wanted, and fat-producing grain will be in less de mand than now. Peas are among those flesh-forming foods. Will it not be well for the American farmer to be prepared to supply the requirements of the markets for beef, and mutton, and pork of high quality, but not fat?—Chicago Tribune. Good Feeding. The man who supposes he can make money by poor stock-feeding is a good deal of a fool. Especially is this true of cattle and other animals used by man tor food. Horses in good condition and doing but little work, with not much work ex pected of them for months ahead, can be best treated to a limited diet; but gener ally—as if to show how short-sighted many men are—they are treated the best of all farm animals. Many a farmer keeps his horses fat and sleek, while his cows are forced to go hungry and show their bones at every step. Yet the cows bring an income in the winter, if well-fed, and the horses loaf in warm stables under blankets, with little to do except make a show occasionally on the road. Common business sense teaches that the cows, if anything, should be the ones to pet in cold weather, because, in addition to dairy products and the annual calf, a cow in good flesh can be turned oil' almost any time for beef; and good condition is par ticularly important when some accident happens to her which necessitates speedy killing. But a cow cannot give milk un less well fed, becanse what little she does get must go tosupply the waste of the body. The point with every stock-feeder should be to see how much can be fed at a profit —not how little. When that is regularly attempted, farmers will be more prosper ous than is now the ease. A Pawn Shop’s Treasures. “There,” he said, leading the wav into a little crowded side office otf front the main room and placing his hand on the combination of an immense iron safe, “there is something valuable. That would interest yon You like jewelry—old jewelry? There are val uables representing many hundred thousand dollars in that safe. I have four safes al together. but this contains the most valua bles Time-lock, see?” And he swung the huge iron doors open. What a sight! A miser might have fallen on his knee, and. running his arms up to the elbows into jewels and gold, have died of joy. There were at least two bushels of handsomely set rings, bracelet*, brooches, diamond studs, pins and gold watches, some of old and some of new design. Some of the diamonds and other precious stones were exquisite. There were diamond rings of antique and curious pattern, and there were settings of rubies, carbuncles and other precious stones. There was one ring set with a cluster of very large diamonds which filled the reporter’s finger up to the first joint ami was so heavy as to be uncomfortable. There was a jeweled necklace of hammered gold, which was worn bv one of the favorites in the court of I,on is XIV, and a pair of Etruscan gold ear rings of filmy texture more than two inches long, which was once worn by an empress. So the proprietor of the “shop” assured the Star man, and their appearance bore out his state ment. Then there svere many, many old gold watches, some of them very curious. There was one little hunting-case watch of hammered gold, hand made, not more than an inch and a quarter in diameter and about as thick one way as the other, a unique and curious little thing, which the Star man was assured belonged to Martha Washington, having been made a present to her by some notable in England. In another safe were collected trinkets in still greater quantities, but of less value. Hundreds of silver watches wore thrown together in heaps with silver spoons, mugs and drinking-cups, some of antique pattern. In yet another safe w as a collection of George Washington's plate—a fuil silver dinner-set, very heavy, with the letter “W" engraved upon each piece—and a very large drinking cup marked "1?. W.” which belonged to Hushrod Washington. This “Washington silver.” the proprietor told the Star man. lie held in pledge tor $lo0 loaned to the lady who owns it. an heir of the Washington family. Its intrinsic value, he says, is about WOO, but its value by as sociation is of course much greater. There was also in one of the safes an immense liible on vellum, giving the scriptures in 12 different languages. It is several hundred years old. The clasps are of heavy parch ment or leather.

A Gun-Boat Running the Gauntlet From an illustrated article by Rear-Ad miral Walke, in the “Operations of the Western Flotilla” in the January Century, we quote the following: “Having received written orders from flag-officer, under date of March 30th. I at once began to prepare the Carondelet for the ordeal. All the loose material at hand was collected, and on the 4th of April the decks were covered with it, to protect them against plunging shot. Hawsers and chain cables were placed around the pilot-house and other vulnerable parts of the vessel, and every precaution was adopted to prevent disaster. A coal-barge laden with hay and coal was lashed to the part of the port side on which there was no iron plating, to protect the magazine. And it was truly said that the old Caron delet at that time resembled a farmer’s wagon prepared for market. The engi neers led the escape-steam, through the j pipes aft, into the wheel-house, to avoid i the puffing sound it made when blown through the smoke-stacks. “All the necessary preparations having been made, I informed the flag-officer of my intention to run the gauntlet that night, and received his approval. Colonel Buford, who commanded the land forces temporarily with the flotilla, assisted me i in preparing for the trip, and on the night of the 4th brought on board Captain llol lenstein of the Forty-second Illinois, and twenty-three sharp-shooters of his com mand, who volunteered their services, which were gratelully accepted. Colonel Butord remained on board until the last moment to encourage us. I informed the officers and crew ot the character ot the undertaking, and all expressed a readi ness to make the venture. In order to resist boarding parties in case we should be disabled, the sailors were well-armed, and pistols, cutlasses, muskets, boarding pikes, and hand-grenades were within reach. Hose was attached to the boilers to throw scalding water over any who might attempt to board. If it should be found impossible to save the vessel, it was designed to sink rather than burn her. as the loss of life would probably be greater in the latter case by the explosion of her magazine. During the afternoon there was a promise of a clear, moonlight night, and it was determined to wait until the moon was down, and then to make the i attempt, whatever the chances. Having i gone so far, we could not .abandon the: project without a bad effect on the men, equal almost to failure. ••At 10 o’clock the moon had gone down and the sky, the earth, and the liver were alike hidden in the black shadow of a thun dcr-stjrm, which had now spreid itselt over all the heavens. As the time seemed favorable, I ordered the first master to cast off. Dark clouds now rose rapidly over us, and enveloped us in almost total darkness, except when the sky was light ed up by the welcome flashes of vivid lightning, to show us the perilous way we were to take. Now and then the dim out line of the landscape could be seen, and the forest bending under the roaring I storm that came rushing up the river. “With our bow pointing to the island, we passed the lowest uoint of land with out being observed, it appears, by the enemy. All speed was given to the ves sel to'drive her through the tempest. The flashes of lightning continued with fright ful brilliancy, and ‘almost every second,’ wrote a correspondent, ‘every brace,post, 1 and outline could be seen with startling distinctness.enshrouded by a bluish white j glare of light, and then her form for the next minute would become merged in the intense darkness.’ When opposite Bat tery No. 2, on the mainland, the smoke stack blazed up, but the lire was soon subdued. It was caused by the soot be coming dry. as the escape-steam, which usually kept the stacks wet,had been sent to the wheel-house, as already mentioned, to prevent noise. With such vivid light ning as prevailed during the whole pas sage, there was no prospect of escaping the vigilance of the enemj\ but there was good reason to hope that he would be un able to point his guns accurately. Again the smoke-stacks took- fire, and were soon put out; and then the roar of the enemy’s guns began, and from Batteries No. 2, 8, and 4 came almost incessantly the sharp crack and screaming sound of their rifle shells, which seemed to unite with the electric batteries of the clouds o annihi late us. “While nearing the island, or some shoal point, during a few minutes of total darkness, we were startled by the loud, sharp order, ‘Hard a-port,' from our brave and skillful pilot. First Master Hoel. VVe almost grazed the island, and it appears we were not observed through the storm until we were close in, and the enemy having no time to point his guns, fired at random. In fact, we ran so near, that the enemy did not, probably could not, de press his guns sufficiently. While close under the lee of the island, and during a lull in the storm and in the firing, one of our pilots heard a confederate officer shout ‘elevate your guns!’ ‘Yes, confound you,’ said the pilot, in a much lower key, ‘ele vate.’ It is probable that the muzzles of those guns had been depressed to keep the rain out of them, and the officers, not expecting another night attack in such a storm, and arriving late, ordered the guns elevated just in time to save us from the direct lire of the enemy's heaviest fort; and this, no doubt, was the cause of our remarkable escape. Nearly all the ene my's shot went over us. “Having passed the principal batteries, we were greatly relieved from suspense, patiently endured, however, by the officers and crew. Hut there was another formid able obstacle in the way—a floating bat tery, which was the great ‘war elephant’ ot the confederates, built to blockade the Mississippi permanently. As we passed her she fired six or eight shots at us. but without effect. One ball struck the coal barge and was found in a bale of hay we found also, one or two musket bullets. We arrived at New Madrid about mid night, with no one hurt, and were most joyfully received by our army. At the suggestion of Paymaster Nixon, all hands ‘spliced the main brace.’ Caring for Song Birds “Why, yon have no idea,” said an old and well known bird fancier to a reporter the other day, “how little care a song bird requires. It has been my experience— and a good long experience—that the i most of the deaths among canaries are caused by over care and over-feeding. "Let a lady get a new bird. The chances are it is the first she has ever had the care of. It is a novelty and a curiosi ty in the house, and she teels as though she must be attending to it all the while, and that if she does not it will die, or stop singing, or something. The result is she will give the bird everything she has ever heard of a bird eating. You will find crackers and cake, and bread, and candy, and sugar, and apple—and heaven only knows what—stuck through the bars of the cages for the birds to eat. In the seed Itoxes you will find all kinds ol seed, mixed, etc. Now it does not seem to me that it requires an extraordinary intelli gence to grasp the idea that this is all wrong. I can hush the notes of the hardi est German canary ever imported to this country by such food in a few weeks. Such sweet dainties fatten the feathered musicians. They lose their voice, they become subject to rheumatism, they get the gout in their feet. They become in fested with lice, and they lose any desire j for their bath. You hear an unusually brilliant songster, one who is singing loudly, sweetly and almost incessantly, i and go and look at the cage he is in. You won't find any sweet-breads and sweet meats there. The best bird food is just plain, ordina ry, common bird seed—only this and nothing more. It is all I give my birds, and you have heard how they sing. Two j or three times a year I buy a cuttle-fish 1 bone for them, and I keep some fine gravel or sand in the bottom of the cage for them to pick at. I put a bath dish of water, with the chill reduced, into the cage every morning. Once a week I dean he cage* thoroughly, scrubbing the pennies, the bottom and the wire bars. I give them fresh water to drink and re-stock the seed jar once a day. This is all the care 1 give my birds. I keep them where it is light where the sun shines occasion ally. and where there is fresh air. Birds should not be hung too high in the room either, for here they get the heated air, which is not good for them. Give a bird such treatment as this—plain, clean bird seed, fresh water and fresh air, and if he dies or loses his song it will be from nat ural causes.”—Rochester Chronicle. “The first step toward wealth,” saw* an exchange, “is the choice of a good wife.” The first step toward health is to use St Jacobs Oil for aches, sprains and pains.
