son and Willie Pratt They were accompanied
by Mr. Sbey's man, John Worthing and Fred
Smalley. lad fifteen years old to assist i'll work

persons on board decidedly overloaded her They
were about one fourth of mile oil Strouts brick

O'Clock Worthing stumbled and fell backward

wards, throwing the whole party into The water
with nothing to cling to except the boat Mr.
Sibley and the Smalley boy were the only ones
that could swim. The great peril can be at once
seen, and 1t is marvel that the greater part of
them lived to reach the shore. Mr.. Sibley, while
in the water. behaved with great courage and self
possession, and was ably assisted by young Smalley
His first idea was to right the boat but the large
number would have sunk her. The only chance
to keep the boat keel upward the air inside

Mrs. Meads children broke away, but was brought
back by the swimmers Allen d. French was in

A NOVEL NIGHT LAMP.

M. Behn, Frenchman, has invented a
night lamp which answers the purpose of
q clock. The hour is indicated by the
extent of combustion of the oil. From
tho oil reservoir rise two vertical glass
tubes one contains oil and is graduated
for the hours, the other contains the wick
saturats ed with oil and giving the light.
The construction is such that one hour is
required to consume the quantity OF oil
between the two graduAtions of the first
toned tube. A reflector placed under
the fame at the side throws luminous
beam across the the graduated tube.
The chief use of the lamp will be to en-
able early risers,nlgkt workers and others
who turn over without rising and read
what time it is. Nevertheless, any eco
nomical old gentleman can set one OF the
lamps in the parlor just before going to
bed, and by it young Romeo will be con-
stan,ly reminded that it's time to quit
burning her old mans gas for that night.

A Gazette reporter has been spending

the Hall safe, manufactured in Cincinna-

en- different manufactures in the fire, and
their contents were in all stages between
a scorch and utter ruin. Some had 10 be
blown open, others cut to pieces with
chisels; some were mass of broken plas-

sound on the OUTSIDE, while within there
was nothing saved. Some lost knobs,

upset. In every case the Halls safe open

contents were wholly untouched. The

The familiar shreks cleft tho cool Oc-

beside the light he loved to hail from his
engine. Perhaps she would be the first
to kiss his cold brow beneath the stairs
at Gwynne's Cut. She almost shouted
for joy when she saw the first tie drawn

THE BEEF MONOPOLY IN BOSTON
Somebody Wanted to Smash the Bull
Ring.
Boston Correspondence N. Y. World.


Boston Correspondence N. Y. World.
Boston has the dearest market on the
continent. This matter-the enormous
cost Of beef and other staple articles Of
foods the most terrible evil in our city.
In Albany, Hartford or Springfield the
cost of beef is one-third less than in Bos-
ton. If one had time and cared to do it
he could save money by sending for his
marketing 100 miles away and paying the
express charges. Everybody in Boston
knows this, but, as in respect to the So
cial evil, everybody connected with the
press agrees to ignore it. The weight of
this falls heavily on all laborers and sala-
ried men. 1t undoubtedly diminishes all
the incomes that are gained by at least
One-fourth. 1t is in vain to talk of CIV
ing teachers salaries at the rates of Chi
cago, when board there costs double
But the monopoly that sustains Our mar
kets is apparently invulnerable. There
was an alderman named John Brown
who attempted to have the question of
free markets discussed, and he was never
heard Of again. A newspaper man told
me that when once he printed para
graph that bore somewhat upon the
Brighton and Quincy Hall monopoly, a
lace dealer, profuse advertiser, came to
him and said : "If you touch the market
shall withdraw my patronage" The
| lace dealer had father-in-law In the
| market.
There is not-as honestly believe-a
single newspaper in Boston that could
attack this beef monopoly without huge
loss in advertising. If you 90 down to
the market you will see these pleasant
looking people with white aprons, but
they are as little like servants as possible.
1t is line of fortunes in every stall. A
place in the market is better than being
president of life insurance company in
Hartford. Do you want slice of NUT
ton or of rump steak? The polite man
in white apron will sell you shin or a
chuck piece or bloody neck but sir
loin no it is against the rule. Awhole
rump? yes, but not a slice. In fact, this
is mere mockery of market. 1t is a
huge depot of supplies for the hotels and
the provision stores. The poor haunt the
place on Saturday nights for cheap pieces.
The better class of citizens must get their
supply from the provision stores and paw
| what 10 asked without demur. don't
suppose know One-half of this matter,
but l know enough to assert that II We
had for once an honest and fearless city
government that would take hold of this
! matter and make free markets, the salary
Of every school teacher and every clerk
would be worth one-quarter more.
