A MURDER AT TROY.
The Mysterious Affair Solved
The Victim George Smalley Of
Shushan.

A young man named George Smalley,
whose parents reside in the small village
of Shushan, N. Y, on the Rutland and
Washington railroad, was foully dealt with
in Troy on the Goth inst, from the effects
of which he died in Shushan week later,
being last Friday night. He was employed
on a patent machine by a Mr.. Atwood of
Troy. On the evening of the Goth inst,
as has been ascertained by II Troy Press re-
porter, he visited saloon on the corner of
Ida and Second streets kept by Mr. Doyle
and while there Michael Quinlan and some
friends came in and called for drinks.
Quinlan asked Smalley to have some ale,
the latter refused to drink with him which
provoked Quinlan and quarrel ensued.
Smaley was bullied into going out into the
street, where he was struck by Quinlan, it
is said with the bare fist. He picked him
self up and went home apparently feeling
well, but during the night was taken with
vomiting and his aunt with whom he boards
heard him groaning as if in great pain.
He left the house in the morning without
seeing any one and the next day turned up
in Shushan more dead than alive In lucid
intervals he told contradictory stories re-
garding his situation, which was considered
dangerous at once from his deathly appear
ance. Physicians were summoned who
pronounced his case hopeless.

heart-rending. His father had been sick
and confined to his bed, while the shock
almost killed his aged mother. The whole
community was bowed down in sorrow,
while the victim of the murder, wholly I'M
able to tell his own story, breathed his last.
The fatal wound was a small ragged one
just above and to the right of his left eye,
at the base of the nose, while the eye lid
was torn and the eye much inflamcd. Both
of his eyes and his face were very black
upon his arrival home. The blow he re-
ccivcd was probably made with an iron
knucklc.
Up to the time of his death it was UNI
known where or how the murder was COM
mitted but by scraps gathered from the dy-
ing mans lips the Press reporter hunted
up the saloon and found out the facts as
nearly rs possible. Detectives were at
once put on the scent of Quinlan, and on
Saturday last Chief Squres and Detective
Markham of Troy succeeded in arresting
the supposed murderer, and secured one
COnnors as supposed witness. The evil
dence against the arrested party is consid-
cred strong, and it is to be hoped justice
will be meted out to the guilty one.

GROWING WEALTH.

The twelve mile tunnel into the Rocky
Mountains affords scope for dreaming with
untrameled magnificence of the stores of
gold and silver to be reached and brought
to light Utah is producing yearly more
than ever before. So also is Nevada Col
Orado, Montana, Dakota, Idaho, Arizona
and New Mexico, are adding to the worlds
stores of precious metals, while the unex-
plored secrets of the mountains may I'M
fold riches surprising all that has yet been
seen. Australia adds her gold, and South
America and Africa their diamonds. These
metals are measures of value. The iron,
copper, tin, lead and other minerals of
England, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and the Lake Superior region, enable
us to build railroads and make the imple
ments required for machinery and the CON-
forts of life. The railroads develop wild
ernesses. and bring forth their timber, coal,
marble, granite, and other productions,
while they encourage agriculture by giving
it market. Vegetable and animal growths
furnish yearly increasing additions to the
material for clothing the human FORM
New machines are constantly being turned
out, and these succeed in displacing others
by superior merit. In consequence thereof
the capacity for production is constantly
increasing, and with 1t the wealth of the
civilized world is growing more rapidly
than ever before known in the history of
the earth.
MIR. Gladstone says if England had pos
sessed nothing in 1915, her increase from
that time to the present, would have placed
her as far advanced in the accumulation of
wealth as she had been able to go in all her
previous history. That sixty years at the
present rate of creating wealth, are worth
eight hundred years from the time of Will
liam the Conqueror to the close of the
war in 1915. America, Mr. Gladstone re-
garded as increasing still more rapidly than
England. 1t is most reasonable to SUD-
pose that he is correct in that. America
has native wealth to dig out of the noun
tains, soil yet to be cultivated, a tide of
immigration pouring in and plenty of
room for more. Its ingenuity of invention
and its enterprise in construction are equal
to those of England, with more room for
expansion.
The whole civilized world is growing in
wealth, with the United States in the lead

In this time of heat and general drought
all those trees and shrubs that are suffer.
ing for surface moisture, it is well to ap.
ply compost, a mulch of most any sort,
like straw, hay, leaves, weeds, chips, etc
Any covering that is non-conductor to
heat, prevents, or checks the direct heated
rays of sunlight from penetrating the sur
face earth. AS the moisture arises, it is
retained around the rootlcts near the sur.
face, and the soil does not bake, as when
water is applied, without this caution. 1t
is more natural and congenial to vegetable
growth, than to apply cold water direct to
the soil without this covering at the pres
ent time. We are taught to look upward
and above too much for our water in our
general course of agriculture, if we took,
or applied different course of tillage in
general, our field crops would be more
grateful and give us better returns for our
time and toll.
Now, is the time to examine the squash
vines and destroy the large black bugs
which take shelter under the leaves, and
are so poisonous to the vine, and remove
all of the eggs deposited underside of the
leaf, TO prevent the great family increase
that will soon appear and cheat us out of
the fruits of the vine. 81"

AS ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE TEMPER OF
the American Pulpit of Mr.. Jefferson's
day, Mr.. Parton tells this story of DIR.
John Mason, who was then the sensational
preacher of New York:
An interesting character was this DR..
Mason, if we may believe the anscdotes
still told of him by old inhabitants of New
York. What scene must have been when
he paused, in the midst of one of his rous-
ing Fast-Day sermons, and, raising his eyes
and hands to heaven, burst into impassion-
ed supplication. 'Send us, If Thou wilt,
murrain upon our cattle, famine upon our
land, cleanliness of our teeth in our Dor
ders; send us pestilence to waste our cities;
send us, it please Thee, the sword to battle
itself in the blood of Que sons but spare
us, Lord God Most Merciful, spare us that
curse-most dreaded of all curses-an al
lance with Napoleon Bonaparte.' An eye
witness reports that as the preacher ut
tered these words, with all the energy of
frantic apprehension, the blood gushed
from his nostrils. He put his handkerchief
to his face without knowing what he did,
and, instantly resuming his gesture, held
the bloody handkerchief aloft, as if il were
symbol of the horrors he foretold. To
such point in those simple old days,
could campaign falsehood madden able and
good men

There is Micawbcr in Washington.
There was only one thing that Mr.. Mi
cawber desired in this world, which was
that something should 'turn up" At the
treasury department it is hoped that Gen.
Towards bond will ''turn up" The gen.
eral was commissioner of the Freedman's
Bureau. and as such gave bonds to the
amount of $50, 900, and the twelve sub COM
mssioners gave bonds in $4,000 each.
Howard had the handling, in the course of
his term of Office, of between $4,000, 900
and $50, 600, 900. The money and work being
for the ignorant freedmen, and benevo-
lent thing, no special attention has been
paid to it. An indefinite guess as to how
many millions he had to handle is near
enough If it comes within four millions.
A position with so much money and so
small bond, and the bond lost, is ire
sponsibte enough to justify the suspicion
that the case needs investigating.

$3.50 FINDS IT'S WAY INTO RoGuE's
POCKET.
A young man named VIM. G. Rice, from
Vermont, L. s., has been made the victim
of one of those barefaced swindling
schemes now so common. 1t appears that
he had noticed an advertisement in the
Rutland Daily Herald, to the following
effect
"Wanted-A young man in an office of

is required must make permanent engage
ment. Only those who can meet these re-
quirements need address, j. G. CONWAY Il
Co., Box $3.50, Montreal, Canada"
Rice sent letter to this address, and re-
ceived reply, from which we extract the
following
"Your letter in answer to our advertise
ment is at hand, and contents noted. In
reply will say we are engaged in the Mer-
camille Agency business with offices all

which we allow 7 $40 per cent interest
while in our hands; and you can
draw il at any time, by giving
two weeks notice, which we re-
quire to look over your accounts"
After speaking of the price of gold and
clothing here the letter ends by saying, ''If
you conclude to except, notify me at once
and say when you can come then will
send further instructions, us / have many
other applicants and will not bring any one
