FIRE AT MARTINS FERRY.-Last even.
ing, between five and six O'Clock, flames
were seen issuing from stable belonging
to Thomas Cottrell, at Martins Ferry. An
alarm was raised, but so rapid was the
spread OF the blaze that the entire struct:
ure, which was OF boards, and contained
large quantity Of hay and other intlam.
mable materials, was developed in a
shroud OF fire before any effort to do any
thing was made. A valuable horse, the
property OF Mr.. Cottrell, was in the sta.
BILE, and met horrible death from heat
and sufIoca,ion: The fire was also COM
municated to another stable, adjoining
Cottrell's, and owned by coal miner
named Black, and this bui..lng was in
turn consumed to the ground, though
the horses in 1t were saved. Both
stable were substantial ones, in good
state Of preservation, and contained con.
siderable amounts Of harness, feed, etc.
The horse destroyed was gray, formerly
owned by Mr.. George Parks, OF this city,
and by him sold to @. z. Whitney, OF
whom It was purchased by Mr.. Cottrell.
The FIRE is supposed to have originated
from falling sparks from Cottrell's pipe, as
he had been in the stable feeding the
herse less than quarter Of an hour be-
fore the Gre broke out, and while there
was smoking.

DTSFRANCHISEMENT IN DELA-
WARE.

Soon after the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment, Delaware passed law that
every voter must be taxpayer and must
also using his tax receipt to the polls be-
fore being allowed to vote The Asses
sors make the list of taxpayers and post
it up towards the end of February. All
corrections are to be made within the
three days subsequently appointed by
the Assessor. But if the voter happens
to miss this amended list, his last resort
is to apply to the Levy Court, which sits
at the county seat in the latter part of
March. Any delay in paying taxes or
in getting upon the assessment roll before
the first of April, results in practical dis
reimbursement for whole year. The
Assessors and Levy Courts are in the
hands of the Democrats.
A few weeks ago these officials, by a
concerted plan, left off from their lists
the names of large number of republi-
can voters--in single county over 1000
being thus omitted. When this was dis
covered the republicans were stirred to
action. They raised fund for bringing
the voters before the Levy Courts. They
also applied to the United States District
Court for the appointment OK Federal
Supervisors-an unheard of thing in
Delaware. Their application was grant
ed by Judge Bradford Even after this
decision there was disposition to hinder
the work of the Marshals in every way,
and the opposition went so far in Kent
county as to result in refusal to give a
copy of the assessment list Senator
Salisbury, however, sent word from Wash
ington that this would not do and so the
list was furnished
But in the Levy Courts the most extra
ordinary delays were made. Hundreds
of applicants were unable to be register
ed simply because the discussion of each
name was prolonged as much as possible
1t is also charged that names once on the
lists have been taken off, and that names
which had been faithfully promised to be
placed on the lists have not been so re-
corded.
The object of all this is apparent.
Whatever discords the republicans have
had in the past are now over, With a
fair vote they call the state either repub-
lican or very close. They claim, if all
the voters who have the right are allowed
the ballot, that Delaware will cast it's
three electoral votes for the republican
candidate for president. The Bayard
party among the democrats is also afraid
that the chances of that senator will be
lessened by any such modern methods as
the freedom of the ballot; and, more
than all, they are dreading the effect of
this exposure on his presidential pro-
spects.-Albany Evening Journal.

THE LAST or THE PATROONS.

On Monday last there died at Albany
MIR. Richard Van Rensselaer,, the last
member of the old patroon's family The
deceased was descendant of Kiliaen
Van Rensselaer,, pearl merchant, who
left Amsterdam in 1887 to occupy the
land previously granted to him. He was
a director of the Amsterdam chamber, and
Amsterdam was at that time the CONNER
cial metropolis of the world, proud, opu-
lent, Protestant and saturated with it's
spirit of municipal freedom. Kilieaen
had obtained from the Indians round
about the present site of Albany large
trades of fertile lands, over a thousand
square miles in extent, and embracirg e
the modern counties Of Albany, Rensse-
laer and Columbia. The lord of the ma
nor, or PATRON, was recognized as such
by the Indians, by the settlers, by the
Dutch West India Company, which had
been incorporated in 1921 under a most
extravagant charter, and by the political
masters of Holland. The Van Rensslaers
were feudal lords, who cared very little
about any sovereigns except themselves,
and their reign, though medivaeval, who
was by no means a bad one. They knew
how to trade with the Indians, with whom
they had never war, they made for
tune out of the fur trade, then they en-
riched themselves out of their vast estates
until they lost their teudal or baronial
prerogatives and became like unto other
American citizen. But they remained
barons for over two hundred years, and
for hundred and fifty years they kept
up the Dutch language and Dutch usages.
Almost all the Van Rensslaers have been
men of mark, and closely identify with
them are the Schuylers, the Livingstons
and such families, while they are opposed
to the Stuyvesants. The Van Rensslaers
were prominent among the Revolution
ary heroes, in Congress, in the Legisla-
ture of New York and in the great enter
prises of central New York There young
men graduated, most of them, at Prince
ton. Jeremiah was member of the
first Congress, where he was succeeded
by Kiliaen. Jeremiah's brother Stephen
was the famous PATRON and the fifth in
lineal descent from Kiliaen. His name
is idelibly connected with the Erie canal,
with the election of John Quincy Adams
to the Presidency, with the Rensselaer,
Institute at Troy, with the geological ex-
ploration of New York, and with the war
of 1912. ID. d. Barnard was his biogra-
pher Cortland is famous in the annals
of Princeton. Solomon covered himself
with wounds and glory at Queenstown
Heights. Henry the son of Stephen, was
active during the last war, and his broth
er Richard, just deceased at the age of
eighty-three is the last baron. The state
ly Van Rensselaer, manor house and park
in Albany occupy the same site original
ly chosen by Kiliaen.-Boston Aduertise1

A HORRIBLE DRINK.-No one can ever
forget his first draught of pulque. 1t is
administered in little earthenware cup
to the stranger. The natives take it in
a quart measure 1t looks like Chicago
milk, wherein the lacteal fluid has been
literally diluted with the water of Lake
Michigan. The appearance is natural,
but the smell-it can never be described
There is combined odor of the dried
pigskin in which it is carried and the
subtle and peculiar odor of the plant
The taste is not SO bad, and if the travel
er's nostrils are sufficiently filled with the
white, ashy dust of the plain, he may
toss it off without much of shudder,
shutting his eyes to the disgusting re-
ceptacle from which it comes. There is
but one thing that resembles it in flavor,
however, slightly and that is koumyss.
The similarity is not very striking, still
it may be noticed. General Grant was
familiar with the taste of the beverage
from his visit to the country thirty years
ago, and did not care to refresh his men,
ory, but Gen. Sheridan and COL Grant
felt bound TO satisfy their curiosity in the
matter, and a single cup holding less
than gill was enough for both.-Merico
Correspo ondent Chicago Inter Ocean.

BRITISH PoLITICs.-LONDoN, April 10.
The Times estimates that the Liberals
in the new House will number about
$40, and the Home Rulers from 60 to &c
the Conservatives can hardly count on
more than $50 The Liberals will thus
find their position liz the new Parliament
nearly the same as that of the present
Government in the late Parliament. AT
a meeting of the Liberal Executive Com
mittee, yestesday, a deputation was ap-
pointed to proceed to Howarden, to urge
Gladstone to accept public reception in
London.
Parnell has received the freedom of the
city of Cork, for his services, in behalf of
Ireland.
A dispatch from Dublin says Charles
s. Parnell has stated that the Right Hon.
Taylor, Conservative, when he has been
reelected for Dublin county, will be
raised to the peerage, and that Sir A. B.
Guinness, who stood for Dublin city, will
be Conservative candidate, and the
O'Connor Don, who stood for Roscommon
the Liberal candidate for the vacancy thus
caused in Dublin county.
