A TRAMP's ARMoRY.-In the satcbel
of tramp now serving six years. SEN
tence to the House of Correction for
burglary was found the following we'll
selected assortment of professional
tools: Three clasp knives, one with a
blade about five inches long; a fonr-
barreled breech-loading pistol, a screw
driver, mimic ball, cartridges of yari-
GUS sizes, ball of wax, needles and
thread, several boxes of caps, large old
fashioned powder horn, small powder
morn, piece OF buckskin, two shot
let moulds, some old rags, a pencil and
two pieces of vegetable ivory, one of
which he had carved in shape of a pine
but from its surroundings evidently
not one of peace. Besides these useful
articles the tramp had in his possession
when captured three powder TASKS,
two bullet pouches, a rifle and shot
gun.

A SERIOUS FALL.-About l o'clock
last night, Mr.. Chester Wead, OF Ma
lone, came down from his room in the
third story of the st. Adams House,
passed out upon the verandah, and evil
IDENTIFY thinking he was on the ground
floor, walked against the balustrade at
the east end and fell over it, distance
of about IL feet to the ground, striking
upon his head and face. His room
mate, Mr.. George Hogle, of the Hogle
House in Malone, followed him out,
thinking he was sick, and looking from
the verandah, saw him PROSTATE below.
He rushed to him as soon as possible,
but found him unconscious. He was
taken in and DR.. Clark was summoned.
He has remained unconscious ever
since, but is apparently improving
slightly, and DR.. Clark expresses the
opinion that he will recover. He is
about 80, unmarried, belongs to a well
known and prominent family and is in
partnership with Mr.. Whittlesey in the
iron and steel business in MalOne.-St.

&c FRAUDS AT THE BALLOT-BOX.
The New York Times occupied a
page and half of it's space Monday
with a statement of facts, embedying
the more important results, it saws, Of
four months labor and investigation in
to the voting at the last Presidential
election compared with that of some
which preceded it. 1t was discovered,
In the course of the inquiry, that the
aggregate vote returned as being cast
at the Presidential election of 1876.
presented the most startling exception
to all that had gone before for forty
eight years. As to the aggregate vote
of the country, these facts, among 9th
ers, were shown: In the great election
OF lo4O, the Presidential vote equalled
AL per cent. of the state population.
In 1852 it equalled 1876 per cent, and
III per cent. of the whole BODY of
qualified electors in the States failed to
vote. In 1860, the second most exciting
erection known in our history, the
residential vote equalled 14.9 per cent
Oh the state population, and 23.7 per
cent. OF the electors failed to vote, In
IoI2 1t equalled 1863 per cent, and
I'D per cent. of the electors did not
vote. In 1876 the vote equalled 1919
per cent. of population, and only 81
per cent. OF the electors failed to vote
that is, in every 100 qualified voters in
every State of the Union no more than

TO the polls. There is no parallel to
TINS, the Times declares, in all the pre-
Slons history of the United States. 1t
IuIther appears that while the popular
vote from 1860 to 1872, a period of IL
years, increased no more than $50 per
cent, IN the four years from 1879 to
1 1ol6 1t made the astonishing increase of

PAINFUL AccIDENT.-Tuesday even
ing about three hours after Mr.. Fl. A.
Mooney formerly shoe dealer in St.
JOhnsbury] had gone to bed, at his resi-
dence on lower Pine street, he was sud-
denly aroused by noises about the house
which he supposed were caused by bur-
glars, who were endeavoring to enter
by the cellar door. In the haste and
excitement of the moment, he jumped
from his chamber window on to the hav
window directly under, and supposed

that the distance from there to the
ground was not sufficient to cause any
trouble. But miscalculating his dis
lance, he jumped too close and became
impaled on picket fence, picket en-
tering his right thigh and causing an
ugly wound; and he also received serl-
GUS internal injuries. Mr.. Mooney was
attended by DR.. Bingham and the
wound properly dressed. The OLD Nye
rookery, directly opposite, which has
stood unoccupied for the past half cen
tury, and has become an eye-sore to
the residents OF that part of the city,
has of late become headquarters for
tramps, and Mr.. MONEYS knowledge
of this fact led him to believe that his
house was being entered by some of
the party. He will be laid up for some
time by his Observation-Disclosures Free
Press.

P. & o. LINE.-Ever since the p. &
o. R. r. was completed through to Ma
guam Bay, the quantity of freight land
ed by boats there has been steadily on
the increase, until it has now assumed
quite large proportions. Some OF it
GENES in sailing vessels, but much of it
comes in barges which have been towed
in by different steam tugs; SO that the
freight business alone would seem to
warrant the establishment of regular
line into our harbor to connect with the
line at Plattsburg. The surprising
beauties of the scenery among the is
lands at this end of the lake makes it at
once a popular and attractive passenger
route for pleasure seekers. Many at
tempts have been made heretofore to
establish regular line boat, but the
Montreal" was burned after her first
trip, (when she carried two hundred
passengers from here to Plattsburg and
return), and other attempts failed for
one cause and another. At last the
staunch little steamer "W. B. Eddy"
has been purchased and is running reg
ularly between Maquam dock and
Plattsburg. The Eddy is commanded
by Captain r. E. Eaton, who has run
on Lake Champlain since 1910. The
pilot is William Newton, late Capt. of
the ''Herald" and formerly pilot of the
"AdirOndac." The boat has just been
thoroughly overhauled and repaired, SO
that she is as good as new in her boiler
and every part.-SlpdntOn Cor. of Mes

For CHoLERA.-More than twenty
years ago, when it was found that pre-
ventiOn of cholera was easier than cure.
a prescription drawn up by eminent
doctors was published in the New York
Sun, and it took the name of the Sun
cholera medicine. Our contemporary
never lent its name to a better article.
We have seen it in constant use for
nearly two score years, and found it to
be the best remedy for looseness of
bowels ever yet devised. No one who
has this by him and takes it in time,
will ever have the cholera. We recon-
mend it to our friends. Even when no
cholera is anticipated, it is an excellent
remedy for ordinary summer COM
plants, collie, diarrhea, dysentery, etc.
Take equal parts of tincture cayenne
pepper, tincture of opium, tincture of
rhubarb, essence of peppermint and
spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose 4:
Is to 20 drops in little cold water,
according to age and violence of symp-
toms, repeated every Is or 20 minutes
until relief is obtained.-N. Y. CONNER

A MEDICAL OPINIoN.-The recent
outbreak of malignant diphtheria in a
school district of the little hill town of
Newark, by which upwards of dozen
children five in one family persisted,
shows that even the healthiest and cool
est localities are not exempt from the
dangers of a zymOtic plague when sani-
tary precautions are not observed. The
yellow fever of Memphis was not so
deadly as this, in proportion to the ma
terial it had to work on. The disease
has been plainly traced to the filthy
surroundings of the homesteads upon
which it sprang into life but such is
the dense popular ignorance of the ma
ture and cause of this class of diseases
that it seems quite impossible to per-
suade these hill-farmers of the true
Gauge of the scourge aud a person
would hardly be safe from personal as
sault who should try to convince them
that want of cleanliness was the prime
occasion of the sad sacrifice. The dis
ease still shoulders in the vicinity
where it began, and is slowly spreading
by cOntagion in adjoining towns. Some
of the most terrible and wide-extended
epidemics of diphtheria have had a sim
liar origin, and have swept over large
areas of agricultural territory. The
poison, once generated, often spreads
like forest fire, till it ceases for lack
of material upon which to work.-Med-
zeal Letter in Republican.

Three new counterfeits have appeared
since August l: 81, on the National bank,
OF Boston; 50, on the Globe National bank
OF Boston, and the Dedham National bank
OF Dedhsm, Mass. These counterfeits are
prepared by the Photographic process, and
will be very dangerous until the public are
acquainted with the peculiarities that dis
tinguish them. Examination of the zeal
will show that the lines have sill been
black, and that the red color covers the
whole surface OF the seal On genuine
notes, white paper can be distinctly seen
through the red lines. The words
Series 1870 are so small that it is impos-
sible TO color them nicely. and on the
counterfeits they will be found to be badly
blurred. On the genuine the letter lie very
clear. Ga the back CT these counterfeits

These coanterfeits are printed IN black and
then painted green. On some places on the
backs of "fves," partiularly in thscentre of
the upper border, where the words nation

made to give green tint. On the zones"
the tintlug is much better done, bu, on close
examination will prove to have been put
