ELY.
In stating the result of,the match
game between the Silver Stars OF
West Fairlee, and the Ely nine OF
ely, your correspondent gave the
result in favor Of the Silver Star
Club, by score of IA to -. Your
West Fairlee correspondent was not
present when the game was played ;
so that he had to depend on others
for the result, and his informant
did not give him any of the circum-
stances connected with the game.
The Ely nine wish to state the case
as it is, aud then let the public de.
eide which club was defeated.
When the Elys went to the bat
for the 9th inning, the score stood
Ia to Is, in favor of the Silver Stars,
they having played their 9 innings,
two of the Elys were put out. and
Bolan made run, which made the
score IA to IA. The Silver Stars
disputed BOlan's run, by the claim
of lost ball. While the captains
of the clubs were discussing the mat
ter, the Silver Stars put on their
coats, and refused to play. The
captain of the Silver Stars told the
captain of the Elys that his men
would not play, so the game could
go no further. Now the Elys want
to know how the Silver Stars can
claim victory, when the score
stood IA to IA, and the Elys depriv-
ed of the privilege of finishing their
inning.
If the Silver Stars do not wish to
acknowledge this result, the Elys
are ready to play them friendly
game, at any time or place they
may designate. DIX.

An Interesting and instructive hook.

very carefully prepared by the well known
historian, DR.. L. p. BRICKErT, whose pre-

have had such large sales. No work yet is
sued or likely to be issued on this question,
which is now absorbing the attention of both
Europe and America, can compare with this
in tulness, accuracy and interest. We have
here in condensed form, but written in most
attractive style, the history, religion, and So
cial life not only of Russia and Turkey, but
of the prncipalities. and the countries ada
cent the relations of the great powers of
Europe to the Contendiny Nations, the
cause which led to the war, the positions of
the tributary States, the religious and the So
cial conditions Of the provinces where the in
surrcction began, and the whole history, as it
bic massacres and outragcs in Bulgaria,
year ago in the words of those who were eye
witnesses. We have also full account of the
earnest efforts of the Great Powers to pre-
vent war, and the circumstances of their fail
ure and then, in a mastery word picture, a
birds eye view of the whole situation. and of
all parts concerned, as it was on the day of
the declaration of war. Appended to this
clear and deeply interesting narrative, we
have biographical sketches of the leading ac-
tors in this great drama, not dry biographical
dictionary notices, but portraitures which en-
able you to read the souls of the men, and to
understood the motive of their action.
The whole book is most valuable contri-
button to modern history. The price is very
low for it has over 500 pages, and so elegant

how to adapt his goods to the wants of these
strange races; the sailor to ascertain what

A HORSE DECISION. The Su,
preme Court of Massachusetts have
recently made decision in a horse
case which will be of interest both
to those who hire horses and own
ers of livery stables. The case was
Horne VS.. Meakin. The plaintiff
hired a horse and wagon to take
his family to funeral. Upon his
way home the horse ran away, up
set the vehicle and injured the oc
cupants. The suit was brought
against the keeper of the livery
stable for damages. The ruling of
the court substantially established
that the defendant was liable for
the damage done if it was in whole,
or in part, owing to the viciousness OF
horse, the plaintiff being in the eX-
ercise of due care and diligence.
Nor could it relieve the defendant
from this responsibility that he-was
ignorant of the vicious traits of the
animal; he is bound to provide
horse suitable for the use for which
he lets it.

the railroad strikers. The strike
has resulted. as history shows all
such risings do, to the disadvan.

many of them their situations.
That the railroad men had cause
for complaint, no reasonable per-
son will deny, but to attempt to
right matters by force and the de-
struction Of property was foolish in
the extreme. The strike has cost
the country millions of dollars,

the time of the strike, buyers were
coming in freely, and there seemed
to be a certain promise of the re-

be of short dura tion, and then the

ACCORDING to the laws of Penn
sylvania the tax payers of Pitts,
burg will be obliged to pay the own
ers for the property destroyed in the
recent riot. $4,OOO,0OO of the prop.
erty of the railroad was destroyed
or stolen; and every dollar of that
sum will fall upon city unable to
bear it, and to pay it will require a
levy of $50 per head upon the en-
tire population. To pay the inter
est on this property wantonly de-
stroyed will require tax equal to
81 year on every inhabitant.
Every railroad in the country might
be destroyed without loss to the
company. Such destruction would
practically amount to the selling of
the railroads to the States through
which they run. Messrs. Garrett.
Scott and Vanderbilt can calmly
look Oh while their property is burn
ed by mObs led by cOmmunistic
leaders and trades union agitators.
They will lose their current bust
ness while a tax-burdened people
will pay for their property destroy

Nominally this tax is assessed
upon the property owner, but in
the end the burden will fall upon
the masses who rent houses. Occu-
Ply stores or purchase food and raj
ment in any form. High taxes and
high rents go together, and are paid
by the lessee or occupant. The
man who lives by his daily labor
cannot escape it. 1t touches him

consumer. In short, that sort of
striking which eliminates in the de
struction of property ends in bur
dening industry and in a further
