SILVER MEN NOT CONTENTED.

TIE RABID SPRINGER STILL sIGHs FOR THE FRUIT
BEYOND HIS REACH-HIs LITTLE BILL.
IBY T1LgGRAPH TO THE TRBUEE
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Mr. Springer, of Illinois,
who will hold the floor in the House OF Representa-
tives next Monday, Immediately after the morning
hour, has prepared supplementary Silver Bill
which he will ask the House to suspend the rules
and pass. 1t provides for the free coinage of silver
on private account and without limit and also for
the issue OF certificates Of deposit in exchange for
all silver bullion that may be taken to the Sub
Treasures of the United States.
The advocates of this measure expect that it will
command the votes of two-thirds of the members
Of the House and majority Of the Senators. Know
ing that if such bill should be sent to the Presi
dent he would return 1t without his signature they
DO not expect to beabe TO pass it his vetO but
they think that 1t will furnish a basis upon which
they can go to tho people in the campaign of tho
coming Autumn with some hope Of gaining enough
votes in the next Congress to make the remOnetiza-
tion Of silver complete in spite of the Presidents
objections.
1t Is possible that the advocates CT unlimited
Glver will be disappointed in regard to their
strength even in the House OF Representatives, and
that Mr.. Sprngers bill may not pass by two
thirds vote. 1t is certain that there are many Rep
fesentatives who voted for the original Bland bill,
not because they believed in the free coinage provi
nons Of it, but because they expected that the Senate
would strike them ont, and because they were anx-
'ous that silver legislation Of kind should be
passed Immediately. These men will vote against
Mr.. Springer's bill, and may cause its defeat.
There are some hopeful signs in the West. Let

Some Time.

Some time think you will be glad to know
That have kept YOU ever in my heart.
And that my love has only deeper grown
In all the time that We have loved apart
Some day. when yon have slipped away
from care,
And idly fall to dreaming of the past,
And sadly think ofall your life has m,ssed
You will remember my true love ut last.
Or it may come to pass some weary night,
After day that has been hard to bear,
When you are weary heart-sick and forlorn,
And there is none to comfort or to care,
That you will close your tired eyes to dream
OF tender kisses falling soft and light,
0frcstiul touches smoothing back your hair,
And sweet words spoken for your hearts
delight.
Oh! then you will remember aud be glad
That have kept you ever in my hear,
And that your hearts true home will still

Although we wander silcntand apart.

THE GREAT TORNADO AT WAL

A Circusistantial Account, as
Gathered ArNHnR the East.
crn Papers.

This ancient borough is situated on
the New Haven, Hartford and Spring
field Railroad, 12 miles north Of the city
of New Haven.
The Quinipiac river, small stream
emptying into the northeast corner of
New Haven harhor, flaws through the
township. This river is about the size,
or somewhat smaller than the u.allup.
Each side OF the river bed are sandy
plains. perhaps formerly the bottom OF
q bay that extended some 20 miles up
this valley. These sandy plains are from
one to two miles wide, and nearly devoid
of vegetation.
The old town was laid out On n beau
tiful ridge of fertile land, about one and
one half miles, long by one half mile
wide, situated just east of the sand
plains.
When the railroad connecting New
Yoi1s city and Boston was run through
these plains some 45 years ago, it was
about as dcsoate IA place rs could DC
found. No houses were within nearly
half a mile OF the railroad station. ex-
cepta few stray, poverty looking affairs,
that locked as desolate as the surround
ing plains.
Some bait dozen years thereafter,
when attention in that section was turn
ed to the mnnnaCtuIe OF German Silver
ware, Britannia ware, and silver plated
ware; II number of men brought water
from tie hills to the railroad and put up
several nAnutaciurcs tor the manuiac-

A number of years ago, deacon OF
the old Congregational church OF the
town, who owned Il fine farm on the
eastern slope Of Mt. Tom, become IL con-
vert to the communistic teaching OF
Noyes. and himself and family became
associated with the Oncida Community;
his farm being made branch OF that
establishment, on which about 60 of these
free-love brothers and sisters live to-
gethcr. For II number of years, this in
stitut,on awakened good deal of oppo-
sition from the old puritan families; but
their dealings were always scrupulously
just, they were industrious and honest,
ana soon became very wealthy. Above
them the Quinipiac river had been dam
med in number OF places to obtain
water power for manufacturing purposes.
A few years ago. the Community, asthey
were called, turned their attention to
manufacturing, and built very substan,
tial dam across this river nearly in front
of their place. This flooded the lower
bottoms, and made beautiful lake about
two or three miles long, which is one of
the chief objects OF beauty around the
pleasant old town, and has received the
poetic name of Windermere. The paper
published in that town has also adopted
the same name as its title of Winder-
mere Forum indicates.
On the hill two fne streets run nearly
north and south the whole length OF the
ridge; the one on top of the hill is called
Main street, the other ON its eastern
face IS called Elm street. Both are lined
with magnificent shade trees, chiefly OF
Elm, the rest are mainly of Sugar maple.
The place where the storm struck the
plains was about one fourth of mi e
north Of the factories and other fine
buildings near the station. AS it pass
ed tron there up the hill in its eastward
course and demolished the High. school
building, it passed within single block
OF the residence of the mother Of the
publisher of this paper; yet strange to
say. but little OF tile loss fell upon the
old families Of rhe place. We are un-
acquainted with II single one OF the kill
ed, and but few relatives or acquainr-
ances suffered any serious loss, although
ten or twelve years ago, we knew person
ally nearly all the old families there, and
but few have left theie since that time.
