losses in property will not fall short of
81 900 900. The President of the Re
public has done what he could to bring
the Offenders to punishment, but, SO
numerous are they, they cannot be dealt
with. The foreigners in the place have
addressed their respective Governments
for the purpose of making the Govern
ment responsible for losses incurred.
THE Forty-fourth Congress will have
more than the usual number If new
men. There are only four who have
served i'll seven Congresses, or fourteen
years, and only four who have served in
six Congresses, or twelve wears. In the
former category are :. :. Cox, W. :.
Holman, ". ID. Kelley and \. L.
Banks, the latter OF whom, however,
resigned from the thirty-iifth Congress
after one months service. The twelve
wear members are Fernando Wood, :.
u. Randall, John 4. Garticlland J. 6.
Blaine. Cox. Kelley and Holman served
during the War. Cox entered one
Congress before Holman and two
Congresses before Kelley. Wood,
Garfield and Randall entered in the last
session Of the War, the Thirty-cighth
Congress: although Mir. Wood had
heon a member in 1918 OF the Twenty
seventh Congress. Only one member
ante-datr> him, Mr.. Wm. PITT Lind" Of
Wisconsin, who entered Congress in
1910. Gen. Banks entered in 1872.
Mr.. Kerr OF Indiana entered the next
Congress, after the War Ohc Thirty
ninth) and served eight wears. Mr..
Kelley, rs the longest in continuous ser
vice, therefore is father of the House.
Cox and Holman each had Il hiatus III
their service of fourteen years, and
therefore Kelley outrankS them.
DTRING the recent high waters, 205
cities and towns on the Wc~tcr. rivers
have been supplied by the Signal Office
with 2 ''dan~er-line" circular. This
circular shows the height ri which
floods begin to do injury to property,
and has doubtless been the means of
saving much valuable property. Gen.
ATeyer is confident that this service will
hr greatly improved by better organiz&-
ton and larger appropriations. Amore
certain knowledge of the rate Of move
ment Of frcShet-wavcs OF different
height, will contribute much to the eff
~licicncy Of the Signal Service in this di-
rcction.
\ HORRIBLE railway accident has oc-
CURED in Chilli. On the night Of July
6, "A, Il train on the Santiago and Val
paradise Railway was passing over the
bridge at Limachc, that structure gave
way, and, with the exception of the
engine and tender, the whole train, con-
tanning fifty persons, was precipitatcd
into the river below. The lamps were
broken in the fall, and the oil ignited
and set fire TO the larger part Of the
wreck. Fully onc-half of the pasSen
gers were either crashed t. death or
persisted b. fire or water. An inyesti-
CATION went TO show that the accident
was caused by the effectiveness of the
bridge, which was condemned by the
engineer a unsafe several months amo,
without any measures being taken 20

OF the patients rushed into corners and OBJ
stlnately refused TO be removed. Others
fled down the corridors into the darkest

The roads in the eastern towns of Frank

The directors of the bridge across the
Connecticut at East Thetford, Orange coun-

A New York journal hits popularity of

equal to the double duty Of acting both as

We find the following in the Ogdens-

men AS now. The butter prospect Is not
considered good by the best judges.
The attention of Young men and old, who
are residents of Vermont, who go out of
the state to be hurried, is invited by the
Windsor Journdl to an amendment of the
registry law made by the legislature at its
recent session. 1t is in these words, viz
"Whencver any male resident of the state
shall be married without the state, he shall
within sixty days thereafter deposit with
the clerk of the city or town where he shall
so reside, n certificate embracing all the
statistics now required by law in marriage
certificates; and in case of neglect or re-
fusal to comply with the provisions of
this section, the person so neglectng or re-
fusing shall be liable TO the same penalty,
to be recovered in like manner as may
now be imposed for neglect to return ceri-'
licates of marriages solemnized in the
state" SO then please remember that
nothing in regard 10 registration will be
saved by going out of the state for the
solemn2ation, and that if the same proper
ly belongs in another state, the bridegroom
must take care to have the fact, with the
required statistics, recorded in the town
or city of his own residence in Vermont.
This may he slightly vexatious, but it must
be DONE So look out

The small Pox at Burlington.

Notwithstanding the statement of DIR.
Grinnell, the health officer, and physicians
at Burlington, the Springfield Republican
says well Informed correspondent writes:
There are no less than rs caseg in the
city, and as many as so deaths are already
reported. The Burlington people are try
ing to keep it as still as possible, the papers
making no mention of the fact at all. 1t
is at present confined mostly to the French
population, though some Americans are
down with 1t. Out of nine cases reported,
last week, only one recovered, some of the
patients having what is called the black
small pox. The authorities are in hopes
that the worst is over. SeYen were carried
to the pest-house on Thursday, however,

Merchants and manufacturers are great

proposes to give full protection to marks,
