On Thursday evening we were made the
recipient of two stalks Of cane, raised by
Mr. j. P. Verdun, on his place. one mile be-
low Centreville. The stalks are four feet
high each and have six red joints. This cane
is remarkably fine for this time of year. The
cane in the vicinity of Mr.. Verdun's place
is in very fair condition, but thus far we
have not seen any cane to equal that raised
on Mr.. Verdun's place.

Fire.
A MAN BADLY BURNED

Last evening, at eight o'clock, as Mr.. George
& Co., apothecaries, 155 Middle street,) was
filling can with japan fluid from very large
can that stood in the rear of the store, the
fluid spirited out in a stream, owing to straw
that had got into the fawcet, and igniting at the
flame of the lamp he carried set the interior of
the store in a blaze at once. Mr.. Knight was
very badly burned on the head and staggered
into Mr.. Cox's fruit store, from which two men
helped him into Hays drug store, where DR..
Small attended him, first satisfying himself that
he would not lose his sight The fire was con-
fined to the ground floor of the store, although
smoke penetrated into the adjoining stores, and
into the story overhead where the fancy goods
were stored The store was pretty sad sight,
and the goods in it we are informed were COM
pletely ruined, The whole value of the stock
was abont $2S, 600, contained in cellar, store
and story overhead. About $4,000 worth o.
stock was in the store proper. There was, al
far as we can learn, about s., 500 insurance or
the stock 81, 800 in the Commerce of Albany

The San Juan Difficulty.
Decision i'm Favor of the United
States. .a

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The written Judgment in
the San Juan arbitration has already been Civ
en- by the jurists to whom the case was submit
ted. 1t only wants the Emperor's signature.
1t decides in favor of the United States, and
making the Canal De Haro the boundary. The
cause of the delay in communicating judgment
Is that an English diplomatic intrigue is on
loot, the object of which is to modify the EN-
peror's judgment so as to cause the arbitration
to become failure. Odo Russell, the English
Minister to Berlin, therefore strives to prevent
the Emperor acting ON the judgment rendered
by the jurists, and is endeavoring to raise a
false issue. An article in the Times of Oct.
18th was inspired by the foreign office. 1t pre-
sents the view the government urges at Berlin
saying that the Emperor may decide upon any
one of three channels and falsifies the words of
the treaty. Judgment is required on two
specified points. Should Russell fail to get
declaration favoring the intermediate channel
Tor a boundary, he is to labor for a negative
Judgment, that is, that neither Ide Haro or
Rosario is the channel described in the treaty.
This arbitration will fail, like that submitted
previously to the King of Netherlands, who in
stead of giving definite decision, recommend
ed compromise. The efforts of Princess Vic
torla. wife of the Crown Prince, has been en-
listed by those engaged in the intrigue. Bleech-
roder, jew banker and an intimate associate
OF Bismarck. is very useful in the matter to
Russell, and has been appointed British Consul
General at Berlin. .s er..r-

THE INFANTRY.
Their Reception at Boston.
Especial to Press.l

Boston, Oct 23.-The Portland Light Infant
ry left Providence at 1890 this morning. Arriv-
ing at Boston the excursionists were received by
the Boston City Guards, accompanied by Halls
Band. A long march followed, the battalion
passing up State street about 3 o'clock, and
thence to the Warwick House, where the Off
GERS of the LIST battalion M. V. NJ. we're the
guests of the Infantry at dinner The repast
was elegant, and after an hour of social enjoy
ment the company broke up to assemble at Will
Iams Hall in the evening for friendly COM
petition drill and dance. The drill continued
about a hours, the City Guards alternating with
the Infantry in company movements, the manuel
and bayonet exercise. The Boston company is
crack corps and are the champions of Bos-
ton at present The drill was crisp and sharp,
and though the advantage seemed at one mo-
ment to be with one side, it was balanced i'm
mediately by some new and elegant movement
on the part of their competitors. The Portland
boys are warmly praised by the mi 'itary men
OF Boston for their proficiency in arms, and the
City Guards confess that they have learned
some new lessons in military, while the Infant
ry will take home with them some points that
they have never awaited themselves Of There
was very fine fancy Zouave manuel by
member of the 9th Regiment A dance follow
ed the drill, which is to be kept up until half
past two.
The Infantry have experienced the highest
pleasure from this trip. 1t has been one con-
tinued season of enjoyment from the beginning
and they have received the enconiums of all
with whom they have been associated To-
morrow morning they are to become the guests
OF the Charlestown City Guards.
Horse Distcmper.
