PURIFYING THE ATMOSPHERIC.

For days and weeks, that terrible
scourge, the yellow fever, has been
sweeping over certain parts of the south,
actually devastating the plague stricken
country. Its centre seemed to be at
Shreveport, Louisiana, and Memphis, in
Tennessee, and from these points it
spread forth its fell wings, sweeping the
country with bosom of destruction.
The dead and dying were almost count
less, and, for a time, it appeared as if the
dead would be compelled to bury its
dead. The residents, with sufficient
means at their command, fled from the
infection and sought safety in distant
parts of the land. Similar calamites
had visited these and other sections before,
ard with the same unvarying results.
Science and medical skill was pOwerless
to stay its progress, and the only hope of
the people was in more than human
power. A due regard to sanitary and
hygenic laws might have prevented its
approach, but these having been neglect
ed, in the first place. God alone could
stay its progress. Oh, how fcrvently
they prayed TO the Almighty for the in
terposition of His omnipotent and all
powerful hand to stay the rayages of the
pestilence A miraculous interposition
was neither asked for nor expected, but
only the working out of those natural
laws by which the world is governed
In other parts of the country the seed
time was past and the harvest was near
at hand. Upon the abundance and per-
lection of the fruits of the soil the
wealth of the country, in a measure, ode
pended. The larger and more perfect
the production, If did not exceed the de-
mand, the greater would be the combined
wealth of the country and individual
profits. Crops enough had already been
gathered so that there was no danger of
suffering or want, but if the autumnal
frosts could he delayed, so much would
be added to the property and prosperi-
ty of the country. Yet, while these pro-
ducers hoped for late frosts the plague
stricken regions were devoutly imploring
the Great Oliver for early and abundant
frosts. What was the matter of dollars
and cents, the question of natural
wealth or individual profit, compared
with human life or the staying of the
pcstilence The frost comes, the fever
abates, suffering ceases and life is spared.
Is not the frost which destroys the later
crops blessing in disguise yea, an absO-
Lutte blessing?
Is it not the same with the late financial
panic, if, indeed, we can compare such low
groyelling pursuits as stock gambling and
monetary speculation, with human life and
the tilling of the soil We care not to in,
quirc why the panic occurred at this parti
cular time, or whether it might have beer
postponed, or altogether avoided. 1t broke
upon the majority of the people, like {
clap of thunder from clear sky in mid
summer, and with something of the SAINT
effect. We have all experienced the de
pressing effects of continued hot days ant
fever laden atmosphere, and know how
that single clap of thunder-we use thu
expression in its ordinary signihcance-h

Obituary.

Slas Z. Whitney, who died October -,
at Whitehall, after an illness of few
weeks, was a native of Clarendon, where
he was born Dec. 0, 1912, and was brother
of S. p Whitney, of Rutland. He left
the place of his birth when young man,
residing in Granville and Fort Edward, n
Y. He moved to this village, says the
Whitehall Times, in 1884, where he spent
the greater part of his life. He engaged
in the grocery business for four years
Afterwards he followed teaming, employ
ing many teams and men. lie was mail
agent from Troy to Rutland over the Rem
selacr and Saratoga railroad for eight
years.
After the election Of Mr.. Lincoln in 1861
Mr.. Whitney left the railroad and opened
meat market, which he kept until his
decease. The deceased was always active
in business and had many warm friends.
His death had been expected for many
days Mr.. Whitney leaves a wife and sew
eral children to mourn his loss. His re-
mains were followed to their last resting
place by large number of friends and re-
latives. The order of the Knights of Py-
thias of Whitehall, of which the deceased
was member, and a delegation of the
order from Saratoga Springs attended the
funeral, each member wearing their regalia
as well as the usual badge of mourning.

Attempt to Burn whitehall.

Two weeks ago letter was addressed to
the chief of police of Whitehall, stating
that in working up case for the author.
ties of Rondout he had .unearthed a con-
spiracy to burn mill and lumber yard of
Mr.. w w Cooke, of Whitehall, and to rob
the First National Bank of that village.
The matter was communicated to the viii
lage authorities, but no particular
attention was paid to it. On Sa-
turday night succeeding, Mr.. Neal,
the Waterman at Cookies mill, OBJ
served a man skulking in the shadow of the
drying house. He Immediately fired at the
intruder, and was fired at in return, when
the skulker departed. On examining the
premises next morning, pile OF shayings,
saturated with kerosene, was found under
the shed. Nothing more has been at
tempted there, but the Times says that on
Sunday night, after an attempt was made to
fire Mr. Martins mill. This certainly
seems like coneooted plan by the viii
lains to draw the people in that direction
and then rob the bank.

Personal Explanation.

On Wednesday last an item was pub
lished in The GLOBE under the head of an
assault in Whitehall" Mr.. McAdam
now sends communication which is pub
lished below. The following is the item
referred to:
ION last week very peculiar assault
and battery case was up before the court at
Whitehall. The parties to the suit were
Louis Dalton, in the employ of Mr.. A. p.
Cooke, lumber merchant, and Mr.. McAdam,
employed by Mr.. II. G. Burleigh, also
lumber dealer. The assault was made in
consequence of McAdam attempting to use
some cars which Dalton and VIM. II.
Caldwell had engaged of Mr. Baker, the
railroad station agent. Caldwell remons-
trated with McAdam against loading the
cars, saying they were engaged by him
when a struggle ensued between Dalton
and McAdam, ending in McAdams striking
Dalton over the head with a rule making
an ugly cut reaching to the bone of the
skull. Dalton then closed with McAdam
and threw him. Dalton was arrested and
plead not guilty At two separate trials
the jury have disagreed and Dalton has
given bail to await the action of the grand
jury"

you. The facts of this assault, as proved
by witnesses on this trial, are, flat this

that he was loading, and which he (NIc-
Adam had obtained permission to load
from the railroad agent; that upon his refus-
ing to give up possession thereof he threat
ened to put him off, saying he had force
enough, and without any hesitatied called
his men up and ordered them to throw
'fhat fellow" off the car and his lumber
too; that they made the attempt
and taiIed; after attempting to beat
and kick him (McAdam) most I'M
mcrcifully, that the defense used
both for the protection of the property in
his charge, and his life as WELL was rule
only (and pretty lucky thing twas only a
rule that he finished loading his car, and
that the offenders are now held to bail in
the supreme court to answer the criminal
charge attached thereto.

the thing is, and how it was at the time.
