The vote for Governor is singular,
but the reason of it is. quarrel be-
tween Hartford and New Haven about
a new State House, and little unwisc
party management. The election OF
three republicans and one democrat to
Congress, shows plainly enough the

Letter from Illinois.

A native of Caledonia county, now
sojourning at Naponset, Illinois, fur
nishes few items of interest.
DEAR CALEDONIAN.-As there is a
great difference in the product of differ
ent sections where your paper circu-
lates, and this section is pretty well
represented by Caledonia county peo-
pie, thought | would note few items
respecting this place, which may be OF
interest to your readers.
This is almost exclusively an agrcul-
tural section. Agricultural implements
are manufactured quite extensively in
many towns about us. Coal is album
dant, which makes fuel cheap. Good
hard wood sells from three dollars and
fifty cents to four dollars per cord, and
coal costs only about half as much as
wood for fuel.
AS beef, horses and butter are the
principal articles of produce in Caledo-
mia county, so beef, hogs and horses are
the principal in Bureau comfy, Illinois.
There has been shipped from this sta
ton $40 car loads of hogs, averaging
10000 lbs, since November LIST, and
there has been 20 loads of horses ship
ped to Boston during the past ten
months, besides what have been ship
ped to other points.
Raising hogs is the leading business
in this vicinity. There is comparative
~ little grain sold here as it pays double
to feed to hogs and cattle at present
prices.
The amount of produce shipped from
this point is much less than it was two
Years ago on account of IL new railroad
taking II part of the business.
Hogs have sold at about four cents IL

Portland and Ogdensburgh Railroad.

| A MOrrisville correspondent OF the
Springfield (Mass.) Daily Union, fur
nishes the following data of prospective
business upon the line of this road,
which will be perused with interest by
many of our readers:
There reached ports in the United
States, in 1869 by transit through Can
ada 100000 bushels of flour; 1896
600 bushels of wheat corn, 1924, 900
bushels; other grain ,24S 900 bushels.
This was the natural result of the fact
that grain could be laid down in Mon
treal from the West by water for twelve
cents per bushel against twenty i've
cents via the Erie canal to New York.
What vast dimension this movement
will assume when l,OO0-ton produce
carriers go through to Montreal direct
from Chicago, Milwaukee and other
lake ports, us they soon will be able to
do, may readily be inferred.
Its growth, however, is dependent
upon the opening of adequate transpOr-
tation facilities from Montreal to the
seaboard. AS has been recently noticed
i'll your columns, the Portland and Og-
denshnrg railroad will bring Montreal.
and with it the entire system of fresh
water navigation, within 210 miles of

upon this line system of slow moving
freight trains which will carry produce

cost. From Portland the amplcst tacil-
tiles for distribution to al points exist

Down Among the Dead.
A CHASTITY PICTURE.

NEW YORK, April S.-A newspaper
correspondent, who went down to the
wreck of the Atlantic yesterday. in Il
divers costume, says that the hull lies
we'll down on the port side, and is bro
ken i'll several places from contact
with the reef. Fish were SWIMMING
around. eagerly devouring the parti-
cles of food found floating around He
found the forward hatch open, and saw
that the cargo there had broken bulk,
and lay i'll confused heaps. with the
bodies of men and women damned
among the cases and crates. bruised and
torn. Fishes We're swimming in and
out, feaSting upon the dead bodies
Limbs are strewn about. having been
broken from the bodies by the continu-
al action of the waters, which, when
agitated, drive against ugly pieces OF
the broken hull that here project.
The correspondent then went to the
companion way of the Steeragc cabin,
and found Il hundred or more bodies
lying i'll an immense heap, looking as
If alive, with arms dislocated, eyes star
ing wildly, faces grinning and moving
backward and forward with the under
current. Some were dressed, but many
were half nude. Children were cling
ing to mothers, stout men were clasp
ing their wives, seeming to have met
death with calm resignation. The
scene was horrible beyond description.
The correspondent then went to the
companion way of the steerage where
the men passengers were by themselves.
The bodies of strong men, old and
young, We're huddled together on the
stairway with distended nOstrils, gap
ing mouths, staring, CLASSY eyes, giving
some conception of the terror which
seized them as they vainly struggled to
gain the deck.
From another part of the vessel a
view was obtained of the sleeping
apartment, where, piled up on the port
side, were numbers of bodies of men.
with bed clothing strewn among them
from an abrasion, with broken stan
chiOns and jagged, splintered wood
work. The flesh had been torn from
the faces of many. Others are bruised
and battered about their heads, which
are red and bloody, contrasting horri-
bly, with the pale, livid features of 9TH
ers.

CoNSECTIrUT.-Thc loss of the Gov
ernor 10y the Republicans of Connect
cut appears to have been largely due
to the chronic quarrel between Hartford
and New Haven. Harrison. the New

feated by the Hartford influence in the
State Convention. As Il consequence.
the New Haven Republicans We're great
~ diSgruntled. some going so far us to
organize Ingcrsoll clubs. and many
voting for lngerSoll for Governor. As
a consequence, New Haven, which was
tied at the Presidential election, gave
lngersoll $500 majority. This. with
the straight Temperance vote. which
told entirely on the side of the Demo-
Gratis, accounts for the result. The
election was the quictest one known in
many years. With Honest Joe" Haw-
ley and two other good Republicans
elected to Congress, honors are fairly
easy" between the two parties. and it
is plain that when the Republicans do
not choose to throw away their chances.
