A NEW method Of planting telegraph
poles has been in troduced in Pennsylvsn
il. The ground is stalSed off at distance
OF 200 feet apart, a man starts eff with
cartridges of electric powder" and with
crowbar in his hand. The bar is driven
four or five feet into the ground, cart
ridge with lighted fuse is dropped into
the hole, and mar proceeds to the next
stake, but before he reaches il the cart
ridge has exploded, making n cavity as
big as -four barrel in the ground, and a
gang of men who follow plant telegraph
pole in the spot. In this way four men
will set up 100 to $50 poles day, and al
cost twe-thirds less than by the old
way.

A MAN committed suicide yesterday at
Eureka, and many good but several reig-
ieus souls will refrain from sympathy
when they learn that he took bis own life
because be lost at faro game. Yet
these same good people might weep over
man whom loss in stocks had driven
TO death. Still, what is the difference
Both are gamblers, beth expect TO make
money without work, TO get rich, not On
what they earn but on what they win by
the turn of card or the raise Of a stock.
In the first the player can see the cards
and has some chance. In the second he
stakes his money bindly on hole in the
grosnd, net on its value but on the sup
positions value which California street
may desire to give it, and is the bigger
fool of the two. Yet churches close their
doors on the former and receive the latter
with open arms and the kiss Of peace,
society holds her skirts as the former
ppsses for fear of contact, while she rush
es lovingly to the EN- brase Of the latter.
Rvea when the grave closes on all that
10 earthly of each, con tempt and
disdain are the portion Of the one,
praise and eulogium of the other. The
lesser gam bier is summed, while the great
er one, the bigger rascal perhaps, is
hugged to the bosom. And SO runs the
funny world !-Sacrdmento Bee.

WILL BE HAEGED.-The trials of
Troy Dye and Edward Anderson for the
murder Of A. NJ. Tullis have been con
cluded at Sacramento, the jury in each
case bringing in verdict Of murder in
the first degree. As neither of the junes
fixed the penalty, the law makes it i'm
pefativs upon the judge to pronounce
sentence Of death, which will be done on
the oath instant. The result Of these
trials must give satisfaction TO all good
citizens as the murder committed by the
condemned men was one Of the most
atrscious in the annals of crime. II is
only to be regretted that Tom Lawton-
equally guilty with Dye and Anderson
has not been captured and made to suffer
with his confederstes. But justice will
be vindicstod in the case OF the two
already under the shadow of the moose,
and the third may yet receive his just
deserts.

ADe.frncfIre Storm.

A heavy rain has fallen in the New England
and Middle Atlantic States. Newburyport e1-
perienced the storm, and it was the severest in
ten years. The wind blew a hurricane, wreck
ing four yachts, badly wrenching steamers and
schooners in the harbor, and scattering about
twenty mail boats. Fruit trees were stripped,
and tents on the beach were leyeled or blown
down.
AT Newport between twenty and thirty sail
boats are sunk or damaged. The Wanderer
and Murrill, of New York, and the. yacht
Squadron parted chains and went ashore.
Three yachts sank at the wharf, while others
dragged anchors, fouled, and were damaged.
A crew Of a schooner came ashore at Cape May.
They deserted the vessel in the evening.
Their boat was \capsized, and the men vert
ashore in an exhausted condition. The Cap
tain remained on board and the lifesaving crew
got a line out and remained on duty all night.
At Atlantic City tho storm has been terribly
severe. From the lighthouse on the beach
along the entire city front is one complete
wreck. SOME houses have been lifted from
their foundations, and others blown down.
The maximum velocity of the wind was sixty
miles, from the northeast. Amount of rainfall
nearly ten inches. All the yachts are damaged,
and four sank and one was carried to sea.
Norfolk had the sevcrest rainstorm and tor
nado ever experienced. Many buildings arc
unroofcd and flooded, trees uprooted and ship
ping damaged. Many vessels are dragging
ashore. The handsome spire of Freeman Street
Baptist Church was blown down. The stating
of the Christ Episcopal Church, and the cornice
and stccple ornaments of St. Mary's Catholic
Church, were torn of, while the beautiful
grounds ofold St. Paul's are badly wrecked.

Martyrs to GentiIity.

A middle-aged woman, one of the last
members of an influential family, died
lately, in a large city in the Middle
States. She had occupied for years two
handsome apartments in a house stu
ated in a fashionable quarter.
There she lived in an almost abso-
lutte solitude, q freak which was &C.
counted for by eccentricity. In fact,
the poor woman was dead for days be-
fore she was discovered. Then it was
found that her rooms were absolutely
bare, and that she had died literally of
starvation.
She had felt it a disgrace for one of
her family to either work or beg. Every
penny she possessed had gone to pay
the rent of her handsome rooms. And
she had retained the costly lace cur
tains at the windows, which hid her
poverty even when she was dying of
hunger. +
1t is seldom that false pride arrives at
such an extent of maniacal folly as was
exhibited by this woman, but it does
embitter and impoyerish the lives of
many American women, who will bear
every extreme of want rather than
acknowledge their poverty, and openly
go to work.
Instances are not rare of the women
n ruined families retaining their splen-
did dwellings,, the sale of which would
have enabled them to live in COM
fort, and eking out a miserable
support by slop-work, which they
stole out in disguise through the back
gate, and in the darkness of evening, to
find.
In the higher classes of the cities,
honest labor is no disgrace, but
honorable, to q woman; but, in the
secluded villages of the South and some
parts of the West, it still involves loss
Of caste.
By the laws of caste, a lady is
woman who does nothing. Hence, in
submission to this silly, vulgar preju-
dice, educated, intelligent, able-bodied
young girls, who might earn a good in
come in a dozen ways, and make their
own and other lives full and beautiful,
starve in body and mind on a wretched
pittance, or hang helpless. dead weights
on an old worn-out father, or upon
young brothers, whom they cripple and
handicap at the outset of honorable
business lives.

yellow Fever Notes.


Tits difficult for us to add anything new or
even of interest this week upon the subject of
yellow fever. At Memphis the mortality re-
mains about the same thing-from six to twelve
deaths a day, and the number of cases of sick
ness will perhaps reach an average of twenty
to twenty five cases a day. One new feature,
however, is mentionable, and that is the fact
that plundering and incendiarism are being
INDUCED by the unruly element at Memphis to
considerable extent.
During the past week scarcely a night has
passed that did not witness an attempt to burn
property, and robbing and plundcring seems to
be becoming a nightly occurrence.
To prevent greater depredations the authori-
ties have forbidden persons going upon the
streets at night except they bear upon their
person credentials giving them authority for SO
doing.
There are a few scattering cases in smaller
villages through the South, but like those
farther North, they are usually refugees from
Memphis.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-08-28
The FI.hcrI.. aue.tinn.

The London Times has the following to say
upon the subject: "The dcsirability of having
this long standing dispute between England
and America settled is as great now as in 1871.
The entente cordiale between thom has been
perceptibly strengthened since the treaty of
Washington, and it is only to be regretted that
that treaty did not settle the fisheries question
as effectually as it did the San Juan boundary
and the Alabama claims. We owe to
our American colonies that the question
of money value in respect to the inshore fish
cries should not be lightly reopencd, and, in
deed according to the precedent already con-
coded, it will rest with their Parliaments to say
whether a renewal or the lease, on any terms,
is to be granted. But there is no reason to
believe an international convention on the sub
ject would meet with serious objections, either
on the part of the imperial government, pro-
vided tho question was dealt with in its entirety,
and not merely a revision of the recent arbitra-
ton at Halifax attempted"
