The Dry Goods Fever keeps raging and is
becoming more intense among the American
people. We noticed some time ago the extra.
or linary importations for the spring trade, and
supposed that they would soon fall off. But
it appears now dry goods are pouring into the
port and market at the rate of FIVE millions Of
dollars a week. 1t seems that our people
spend all their surplus earnings in dry goods.
As nation we buy more than our produce ex-
ports pay for. Evidently the Americans are
the most extravsgant people in the world

AT Newport, r. l., on Saturday, Albert H.
Essex was arrested on the charge of having
outrageously treated his two eldest daughters,
aged respectively 22 and l9 years. 1t is
alleged that his wife and daughters were
deferred by threats from exposing his crimi-
nality. On similar treatment being attempted
towards his eldest daughter, however, his wife
procured his arrest. Essex is a property
owner in Newport. He is 50 years of age, and
has hitherto borne a respectable character.

for his life, Judge Davis, in Supreme Court
Chambers, Saturday morning granting a stay
of proceedings until such times as the excep
tions raised on the second trial could have a
hearing. His Honor, however, at the start
desired to have it understood, that he excludes
froE: consideration the affidavits used on the
motion for new trial, and all the questions
growing out of them.
The immediate effect of this decision will be
to defer the execution, which was to take place
a week from Friday next; but whether it will
result in changing the verdict or not remains

The President has partially qualified his
construction of the new civil service rules by
recommending the reappointment of ladies
without undergoing the new examinations,
who had resigned on account of marriage, but
where subsequent thereto wi1owhood ensued.
There are other cases in which the President
applies that construction, but always in those
where the circumstances attendant are of a
meritorious character and the facts warrant
their restoration to office as a matter Of fair
ness and justice.

Domestle scenes In Danburr.


If flash Of light could have been
shot over Danbury just as the rain
commenced to descend Sunday night,
it would have revealed the most as
founding sight ever witnessed here.
1t is estimated that 500 bare-legged
men and boys and about 200 made
quately clothed women were at one
time struggling across wet stoops
and through impenetrable darkness,
with most astonishing variety Of
tubs, boilers, pals and barrels, to
catch the rain water. Everything that
could be employed. for that purpose
was brought out, and as there had
been no rain for six weeks. and
the stoops were slippery, and there
was no time to lose, the natural con-
fusion of legs, language and utensils
was something remarkable. One
man on Franklin street, who was
dashing out doors with two tubs and
a boiler, lost his footholt, and sliding
cross the stoop. went off into an
open hatchway, down a stairway.
and half way across his cellar, the
tubs and boilers arriving about the
same time. 1t was some twenty
minutes before he could converse.
A feshy gentleman named Hays
lost his balance while on a chair to
fix the conductor, and fell into a tub
that he didn't know was there, and
the neighbors were obliged to carry
both himself and tub into the house
to get them apart-a job that was
considerably aggravated by the
promiscuous profanity and abuse
which he levelIed at everybody dur
ing the operation. A boy on Ste
yens street ran against a portico
post with such force as to render
him unconscious. and the moment he
came to he conceived the idea that
his father had kicked him. AS he
didn't run backward against the
post, the impression appears all the
more remarkable. There were other
accidents the same night; but what
renders the affair peculiarly painful
is the fact that not one woman was
in any way injured. We don't un-
derstand that.-Danbpy Ne1eS.
