TARDY PRECAUTIONS.

THE OTHER DAM EXAMINED-A REFRACTORY
GATE KERPER-CoNTRIBUTIoN
NEW YORK, May 1S.-A Northampton dis
patch on the Hampshire, Massachusetts,, dis
aster, Saturday, says, on the west braach of
Mill river is Goshen reservoir, larger by
nearly one-half than the burst Ashfield res
ervoir, to which it has always been reckoned
inferior in strength. 1t is owned by the
same men, whose own fortunes their own
reservoir has just wrecked. The people of the
valley sent up, Saturday, three messengers,
in quick succession, to get the gateway of
Goshen reservoir opened and left open till
the dam could be examined and strength
ened, if necessary. The gate keeper refused
to permit it and finally, on Saturday night,
the agent of the water company went up in
person and compelled him to let off the wa
ter. Here there are two reservoirs, one
above the other, in the same line; the lower
and larger is twelve years old, and the latter
new. The people of Mill river valley have
promised to themselves that no want of care
shall make possible such another over
whelming disaster.
BosTON, May lS.-Liberal contributions
are being made in Boston and the vicinity
for the relief of the suffering by the Mill
river disaster. Among the early contribu-
tons was a five hundred dollar check from
1enerdl Butler. ..--F

Pension swindler Convicted.

CINCINNATI, Nov. Fin the Uni
ted States Court to-day, Pat McCarty
was found guilty of aiding and abet-
ting Mrs. Connama in deirauding the

Z A Courageous Chief.

The following remarkable feat of de-
termination is told of Gen. TrepOf, the
head of the st. Petersburg police, who
had given in earlier life extraordinary
proofs of personal courage. A fearful
double murder was recently commit
ted at the military academy on the city
by policeman, who bell z attached to
the female servant of the doctor of the
establishment, fancied he had cause to
suspect her Of infidelity. Having en-
tered the doctors quarters to upbraid
her, he ended by taking up carving
knife and killing her on the spot, and
Staying the doctor himself with it in
his study. Here he locked hinselfin
with the instrument of his crime, and
vowed he would dispatch the first man
with it who attempted to arrest him.
The police summoned to the spot were
aWed by his apparent determination,
while some proposed to shoot him as
wild beast, and party went in search
of a fire-engine with view to drench
him into surrender. A report of the
occurrence reached Gen. Trepoff.-
Springing into droschy, which is kept
ready for emergencies. the General was
on the scene in few minutes. He or
dered the door 10 Oe burst open, ana
then entered, unarmed. AS he expect
ed, the murderer retreated into a cor
uer, prepared to sell his life dearly.
The General approached him unhesita-
tingiy, with the words: "Well, my
friend, you have committed a pretty
pair of murders, and hear you are
going to stick any one who tries to
take you. Now, stick me; for l have
come on purpose to take you myself
The wretched man was so awed by the
quiet aud authoritative manner of his
former superior that he lowered his
weapon and made no reply to the chal-
lenge, and two of the police officers
who had followed Gen. Trepoff sprang
on him and secured him without fur
ther resistance. IL is not surprising
that the St. Petersburg police, in rela-
ting the story, declare their chief to be
the bravest man in Russia. ..

CLEANSING CAsKs.-The inquiry is
often made regarding the best method
of deodorizing and cleansing old cider
and beer barrels, bottles, etc. Chem
istry furnishes an agent in the preman-
ganate potassa, which fully meets this
want. A pint of the permanganate
turned into the most musty, filthy cider
or beer cask, and rinsed about a few
moments, will entirely decompOse all
fungoid growths and fermenting mat
ter, and render the cask as sweet as
those that are new. The deodorizing,
disinfecting power Of the permangate,
holding as it does five equivalents Of
oxygen, is wonderful; it will even
deodorize carbolic acid. The only way
to remove Immediately the odor of car
bolir acid from the hands, is to immerse
them in the liquids permanganate.-
