DIR. Joseph d. Stewart of Eagle Bridge
was killed Tuesday at the first railroad
crossing below that place, being struck by
the 1.16 p. m. train from Troy. The doc
tor was riding in light wagon, going
north. The engine struck the wagon about
In the middle and the doctor was thrown
thirty-six feet upon the top of large pile
of ties and cord wood lying at the north
east corner of the crossing. His head
struck against the sharp end of a stick of
cord wood making horrible wound. The
train was going rapidly and ran about a
hundred rods before 1t was stopped. When
1t was backed up the wagon was found over
turned, but the occupant could not be found
until his body was discovered on top of the
pile of wood which was about six feet high
He was raised up and he uttered few
words in weak voice. He died in about
ten minutes after the injury. DIR. Stewart
was resident of Cambridge for many years
and was ABOUT sixty years old. He was a
surgeon in the union army during the war.

1t, wry, and has excited much interest
amoug binders aud paper dealers, being de-
signei to feed sheets of paper to ruling
m ,chiDe. At every revolution of the ma
chine, the pile of paper to be ruled is lifted
against the ends of two pipes from which
the air is exhausted, so that when the pile
is let back to its former position, the top
sheet is held and carried forward to the
tapes Of the ruling-machine. This is the
first machine of the kind ever made, hav-
ing cost the inventor several years of
tn iught, and was on exhibition at the last
American institute fair in New York. 1t
feeds the paper with absolute precision,
and several times as rapidly as girl could
do it. The company have also la ely re-
ceived patent on wicker-work, which
promi.es to be of extensive and varied ap-
plication. The light, fiat wicker used
somewhat already in fancy boxes, etc., is
mostly imported from southern France,
and it has always been difficult TO work it
well or keep it in shape on account of its
fiexibility. The improvement consisss In
cementiDg the wicker to cardboard or pa

illustrates tho Piano War by Dog
story, and Gives the Bottom Facts.
Last week at the Tombs court, New
York city, before Judge Duffy, two claim
ants appeared for and with a handsome
Newfoundland dog. As neither had any
corroborative evidence, the astute Judge
decided that the instinct of the dog himself
would be the surest test of ownership. A
policeman was ordered to hold the dog in
the center of the court room, while one
claimant was placed on one side of the
room, the other on the opposite side. Both
were ordered to whistle for the dog at a
signal from the judge, the dog to be re-
leased at the same time, and choose between
the claimants.
The judge called time each claimant
whistled to the best of his ability. Police
man let go the dog but the dog, after
looking at the judge and surveying the
scene, escaped through the door, and
sought elsewhere lts rightful owner.
A similar scene has been enacted for the
past two weeks among the piano men. A
couple of piano-forte manutacturers-bOth
honorable men-hsve been whistling their
respective centennial awards through the
public press, with about as much success
as the claimants had with the dog.
The prize belongs elsewhere.
Stripped, then, of all verbiage, subter-
fuge, elimination and recrimination, law
suits, and all side issues simply intended to
befog the public, the naked facts as to the
centennial awards are just these:
Most of the leading manufacturers re-
ceived nearly the same recognition in re-
gard to workmanship. Durability the
commission could only guess at. The
only real distinction was made by the jury
as to the TONE of the pianos exhibited.
The piano, violin, and every other musi-
cal instrument is valued and purchased
for Its
Thus, then, the Baltomore house is given
an award for "geueral excellence in the
requisites of a first-class instrument in
power of tone," to which the commission
added singing quality.
The New York house for "largest VOL
ume, purity and duration of tone"
Whereas to WEBER is awarded "sympa-
thetic, pure, and rich tone, combined with
greatest power"
Comment as to which is the highest
award would be an insult to the intelligent
musical public. d.
Let them be the judges as to who is the
rightful owner of the centennial prize.
Suffice it to say that the Weber award
contains all that is possible in piano-forte
-"sympathy, purity, richness, and great
est power"
In short, a soul in piano. A. WEBER.

Henry Tedford, son of Christopher Ted

Burliugtona expenses rose from $57 -l01
in 1870 to $l06 800 in 1875. The Iepubli-
cans got control of the government from

that 1t gets more economy for its money.
The Vermont statute provides that no

into the village, shouting that the construc-
ton train, on the Lamoille Valley railroad
had broken through the Kelley Brook
bridge, about q miles cast of the village,
and that several were killed and many more
wounded. The male population started en-
masse for the scene of the supposed disss-
ter. The story at once gained credence be-
cause the train was not in as usual. One
of the physicians gave an order for the town
agent to fill two gallon jug in case of
need. After the excited populace proceed
