What Does IL Mean ?

The sudden interest taken by the ST.
Adams Messenger in the GIeenhack Party
and the sudden organization Of Greenhaek
clubs in various parts of Franklin county
have attracted considerable atlention there
and elsewhere.
The District Convention was hardly over
when the Messenger began rsluhlishing the
Greenback letters OF Bradley Barlow. We
understand that oi Mr. Barlow's letter to
Gen. Butler. advocating the Greenback
movement, a very large number OF extra
copies s. several thousand as stated to us
were printed by the Messenger and scattered
broadcast throughout that region. An absurd
communication, whose anthur tries TO make
ont thg. the National banks have cost the
country more than the National debt, has
also been printed by the Messenger.
Greenbaek clubs are actively organizing in
that county by the aid of somebody's money.
What does it mean? Is the Messenger pre-
uariue to leave the Republican party and
ioin the new National party? Is there any
truth in the rumor that Mr.. Barlow is ready
to accept nomination for Governor iror'
the Greenback Convention, which meets
to-day?
We do not share the suspicion, expressed
bv some. that Mr.. Barlow is preparing to
run for Congress in this District through
coalition OF Democrats, Greenbackers and dis
gruntled Republicans. Mr.. Barlow in the pres
eace of a room full of gentlemen, distinctly
pledged his support to Gen. Grout, after the
latter'- nomination and We do not believe he
will go back on his word.
Acceptance of Greenback nomination for
Governor would be another thing; and,
though We can hardly believe that be can he

THE ECLIPSE.
As WITNESSED AT DENVER, COL


DENVER, July 29.-With the exception of
few masses of cumulus clouds over the
mountains towards the north and westward
the sky was clear and the atmospheric con-
ditions favorable for the observation of the
eclipse. The time OF the first contact was
2:20 Denver time, and ten minutes later the
presence of the moon at the edge of the
suns disc was plainly perceptible to ordi-
nary observers with smoked glass. By
three O'Clock the sunlight had moderated
in q marked degree, showing pale yellow
color. Later on lurid glare overspread
the earth, the heat of the sun was no
longer oppressive. and the light was
similar to twilight, aud the light hOoks OF
clouds began slowly to dissolve owing to the
change in temperature. As the period of
totality came on the sight from the elevated
station was grand in the extreme. The
dark shadow FELL on Longs Peak, seventy
five miles distant. and sweeping rapidly
southeastward, covered the plain like
a gray fall. To the northeast clouds
could be seen, bsthed in sunlight and pre-
senting the view of beautiful sunset.
During the period of observation the moon
appeared like huge. black ball surround
ed by beautiful circle OF light, and as the
sunlight suddenly burst forth again the
chickens orowed as though tho moruing had
dawned

HANLoN THE wlsNER-AN UNFORTUNATE ACCT
DENT TO ROSS.
RIVERSIDE, N. B.. July 3l.-From four to
five o clock the water was in excellent condi-
ton, hardly ripple disturbing its surface
The wind was blowing from the southwest,
but was very light breeze. and everything
seemed to conduce to have the great boat
race take place at last under the most ia
vorable circumstances. At 4:40 Sheriff
Harding arrived on the Eugene and landed
amidst loud and continuous cheers from the
crowd on the shore. A rOWb0at being in
readiness, the sheriff was soon taken on
board the judges boat, and at AS she
steamed down to Torryburn Cove. The sig
nal to come out was at once sounded, and
in three minutes Ross was out In his boat,
stripped to buff as in the morning, and
Hanlon appeared two minutes later, with
blue shirt as before. and received loud
cheers from the crowd on the judges boat.
At FIVE o'clock the men were given their in
structions and ordered into line The wa
ter was in good condition when at eight
minutes twenty seconds past five the men
were sent off, Hanlon on the inside.
Ross took the lead and struck out yigo-
rously, pulling 80 strokes to the minute.
Hanlan followed at the ssme pace, but
pulling longer stroke and soon got even
and before he reached Appleby' s wharf he
had passed Ross. Above the wharf Hanlon
was pulling 80 strokes, going along beau
tifully, Ross following at 80 strokes. Three
hundred yards from Appleby's, Ross boat
was seen TO capsize and for a moment it
was feared he had been drowned. Ii was
soon seen, however. that he was clinging
to his boat, and boat went off and picked
him up. Ross says the spring of the row
lock worked out and he upset breaking the
box of the boat. Hanlon meantime went
up the course taking his timo. however, and
went round the stake boat in 1928. On
his return he showed some fine rowing,
but did not over-eYert himself. lie
reached the point in Just 81
minutes. The accident did not appear to
do Ross any harm. When taken on board
the judges boat he was very reticent, feeling
very badly over the way he lost the race.
He says the boat got in a bad condition
soon alter the race started and be was
watching the boat and not Hanlon. Severe
regret was felt at Ross misfortune but the
prevailing opinion was that he was over
matched. Appleby's wharf is three quar-
ters of mile from the start. HanlOn was
length ahead and Ross struggled gamily
while rowing. There was great excitement
on the shore during the continuance of the
contest but the accident to Ross threw a
damper over the days sport. Hanlon's
time to the scene of the accident was about
six minutes. Hsnlon is to be given a re-
ception at the Dufferin hotel this evening.

DEAR FREE Pass We spent day in

by many kind attentions on the part of
gentlemen and ladies OF that hospitsble
city, who will long have prominent and
pleasant place in our recolections of our

hither was by way of the Grand
Trunk road from Portland, and over
one of tho pleasant portions of that
important thoroughiare. As the road
draws near the New Hampshire line and
strikes the valley of the Androscoggin.
and tho White Mountains oome in view.
the views along the road become strikingly
fine.
Three hours ride from Portland brought
US to Gorham Station; and a fine stage-ride
of eight miles, in Concord coach with six
white horses, brought US thence to this do
lightful spot. Our party had seats on
the outside of the coach. and though

STATE WoRKHorsE.-Th State Workhouse,
at Rutland, was inspected, Tuesday, by the
Governor and the commissioners, Colonel
Albert Clarke, General VIZ. W. Circuit and
Hon. ~ P. Simons. and party including,
among Others, Hon. George Nichols, Sec
rotary of State, Hon. ed P. Laid, State
Auditor, Hon. @. NJ. Spaulding. of the

main building consists of two wings, 52x33,
and rotunda 33x45. Each wing contains
double row of twelve cells. each five feet
by seven. for males, three tiers high. in all
sevsnty-two cells. The yentiatiug hues
pass up through the centre wall to the roof,
and the ventilating pipes from the cells
connect with these main fues so that per-
feet circulation of air is afforded to the
prisoners. On the first floor of the rotunda
is the prison kitchen and on tho second
the guard room which overlooks the cells,
so that from loop holes in the walls the
guards can keep constant watch on the
prisoners. On this floor are also two rooms
for debtors, and two bathrooms. From
this floor two stairways lead up to the chap
Ell. The basement contains ample store
room for provisions. etc. The masters
house, two stories high. is 22x34. The hos
pital building contains hospital room in
the east end, 33x2l; To this room is at
tached ample bath and water closet con-
venience.
In the rear of the hospital is workroom
for women. 25x2i, and back of this are six
cell-rooms for women, 7xai, with grated
windows. In the rear of these cells are the
mstron's rooms. This hospital wing also
contains steam laundry and wash
room. while in the basement is
located the prison bakery. To the
west is the workshop building,
which has in the south end receiving
room, out of which open wardrobe and
bath room. Here the prisoner is brought,
his name and other vital statistics taken,
bis person made clean and his prison garb
given him. Ia rear Of the receiving room
is the workshop, 25x49, and next is the boil
er room The engine is thirty-horse
power. The hospital wingand work
shop are one story structures, but their To-
cation admits of their being easily extended
at any time. The State Workhouse build
ings were commenced in October, 1877, and
the contract demands their completion the
LIST of October Of the present year. The
money placed at the disposal of
the commissioners was but $40, 900,
half of which was contributed
by Rutland county on the condition that
the county should be given the privilege
of using it as Jail. The architect of the
building was William P Wentworth, o
Boston, the wsll-known designer Of thief

Thomas W. Kohr, sub-let the brickwork to
Sampson. Clark & Co., of Boston, and the
carpenter work to Mead, Mason Il Co., of
