Rlue-erass stock.Farm.

General William I. Withers's "Fairlawn"
is just at the edge of Lexington. 1t is a COM
Portable modern stone house, in the midst of
line shade trees of the natural woods of Ken
lucky. 1t is approached up an avenue through
a patent self-acting gate. Around il are scat
tered numerous barns, stables and other out
buildings. The land is divided into various
paddocks and pastures in which the reddish
spots of feeding colts are scattered about, by
stretches of excellent white fence. A fence
here, according to saying of the section, must
be, "mule high, bull-strong, and pig-tight."
This place has but two hundred and forty
acres, but the brood-mares are kept on another
farm, of five hundred acres. elsewhere. At
one side of the grounds is a commodious train
ing track, laid out like one of those mythical
fairy circles on which the spinning of rapid
feet weaves spells OF enchantment and pros
perity. 1t is visible from the library window,
and the general may stand there, even with
the curtains closed, and see the performance Of
his horses, and act as a check on any negligent
practices of his grooms. The host seats us ia
this comfortable library, and explains to us his
theories and shows us his books of record
Every birth, every pedigree, is accurately en-
tered. 1t is business, as thus conducted,
which callsfor high order of intelligence.
| Horse breeding as at one time conducted was
but an innocent form of gambling. The pro-
cesses were hap-hazard and the result of igno-
rance. Again, much money was lost through
the choice of inferir stock OF late the theory
prevails that the very best is not too expen-
siye; great deal of valuable certainty has
been deducted from the collective wisdom OF
the past, and, rs a rule. money Is made instead
OF lost. The library cases are lined with books
on the horse; the wall, with those of the house
generally, anj indeed of the blue grass region
throughout, ars hung with his pictures Over

THE SENATE COMMITTEE.

New YORK, Sept. 21.--The Senate sub-com-
mittee on labor and education had before them
today B. =. Thurber, leader Of the Anti-Mo-
nopoly League The witness believed the un-
satisfactory state of relations existing between
capital and labor in this country was due to the
enormous changes consequent upon the dis
covefy and utilization of electricity which
within comparatively few years have revolu-
tionized all departments of production and
commerce and to great extent the affairs OF
society in general.
Senator Call thought the witness was wrong
in his statement and greatly misrepresented
the standard of morality among public men.
He did not believe there were ten men in Con-
gress who were retained by any corporations
and he did not know of one.
Senator Pugh acknowledged there was alarge
number of legislators who were interested di-
rectly or otherwise In corporations. He was
not of the opinion, however, that although
this was the case the personal action OF legis-
lators was influenced in legislation.
Senator Blair remarked he did not own a
share of stock in any railroad corporation nor
had he received single free pass from rail-
road since he had been in public life.
Mr.. Thurber explained that he did not mean
that these legislators whom he had mentioned
directly promoted legislation in the interests of
a corporation but that whenever there was
conflict of interest between corporations and
the people they would have tendency to take
the side of the former.
Senator Call asked the witness to mention
some specific result of this tendency and Mr..
Thurber cited the opposition to the railroad
transportation bill of Congressman Reagan and
the difficulty which had been met with in CIV
ing it a hearing and having 1t properly dis
cussed.
Senator Call replied that there might be 9TH
er reasons than the one mentioned for opposing
the bill. AS for himself he did not think the
measure was feasible one in all respects.

Electric Lights in Providence.

The Providence Telegram OF the Goth inst
speaks of the American Electric and Illumin-
ating Co.'s new station in that city as follows
"The halls, the halls of dazzling light" as
Silas Wegg POLITICALLY put it on the occasion Of
Mrs Bofins purchasing the Eminently Aris-
tocratic Mansion, would fttingly describe the
formal opening of the new lighting station of
the American Electric & Illuminating Co. last
evening. The managers have leased the first
floor of the Barstow building. next to the skat-
ing Rink on Aborn street, and the new quart
ers we're brilliantly illuminated by their splsn-
did electric lights for the first time last even
ing. At the door was a corona of four lights,
which made all the surrounding vicinity as
light as day, in fact so much so that the num-
erous gamins around thronged the streets and
forgot it was night time and the hour for them
to retire. The station is equipped with 200
light plant with capacity for increasing to 1000
II necessary. rhe rooms are spacious, and the
station is pronounced by experts to be the nm
est of its size in the country.
One OF Providence's industries that has made
electric lighting possible was seen here in fEe
Of the Armington and Simm's engines, whose
lightning-speed and simplicity Of build has
made them one of the notable inventions of the
age, and they were the subject of Comment by
the visitors as well as the electric light.
Among tine distinguished gentlemen present
were Mayor Hayward and members Of the city
government, Mr.. n. E. Wellman, Hen. Ellsry
Watson of Rumford Chemical Works:
MsJor-General William s. Rosen-
Grams, Gen. o. II. Lagrange, of California;

station under guidance OF e. FL. Golf, Presi-
dent and General Manager of Boston compa-
ny.
The lights received the universal approba-
ton OF all present for their steadiness and the
softness and brilliancy of their illuminating
power, and a number of our business firms
have already given contracts. The future Of
the company certainly looks flattering, and a
petition will be presented at the next meeting
OF our city government TO give them a contract
for street ligh ting. visit to the new electric
station will repay any one interested in the pro-
gress of science"

THE RECORD BEATEN.
Courmey's ExpIoit Thursday at Union
Springs.

Courmey's Exploit Thursday at Union
Springs.
NEW York, Sept. 81 = Courtney rowed
against time at Union Springs (his home), yes
terday afternoon, on bet Of $1,000, to beat
the best three-mile, with turn, record which
was lowered to 2O.14 by Teemer, at the Pull
man regatta in the spring. The oarsman, with
! his backer and a few friends on one side and
sports holding negative views and money on
the other, got together with few hundred
country people, to witness the attempt Cayu-
ga Lake was as smooth as a sea of glass, and it
was evident before Courtney took his seat in
the shell that none of the obstacles which he
had formerly urged as an excuse for defeat and
failure were to confront him. In manner
fully satisfactory to both sides, he was given
fine send-off, and sped away, straight as an ar
row, under the influence of that steady, even,
magnificent stroke, which sporting men, and
oarsmen in particular learned long ago to ad-
mire more than the excuses and obstacles
which seemed its inevitable accompaniment.
This time he said to friends and all, 81 know
what can do on water even without being
pushed, and I'm going to do it this time; you
may bet all you want on that" When he
started with his standard stroke at 80 to the
minute, he appeared as frequently before at
starting, but it was at the finish or thereabouts
that his opponents expected he would begin to
weaken If at all. They, at least, were as
founded to see him row at the same speed,
without materially quickening his stroke, till
the three miles with turn were covered, and
he had made the best time on record-20. 05-
nine seconds better than the best previous
time.

The Bangor shooting cssa.


Additional information tends to strengthen
the belief that the shooting of Edward Glib
bons in railroad shanty at Reeds Pond, on
Wednesday evening last, was an attempt at
deliberate murder. The story as told by Glib
bons is corroborated by several eye-witnesses.
There has been ill-feeling existing between
Gibbon and Grstz for some time, and it is
claimed that the latter's trip to Bangor on the
day OF the shooting was simply to provide
himself with weapon with which to commit
the deed. 1t is said that Gratz was very much
excited when he drew the revolver and threat
'ened to kill several of the other workmen who
were in the shanty if they interfered with him.
After discharging the revolver at Gibbons, he
retired to corner, fourished his weapon and
said he wodld blow out the brains of the first
man who touched him. Edward Gibbons, the
injured man, is doing fairly WE'LL The physi-
clan probed for the bullet again, but without
success.

Burning of a New York Lumber Will.
New York, Sept. 21.-A fire broke out this
morning in tho engine room of Robert Ellis's
planning mill on East AID street, and swept
through the building with such speed that the
workmen were compelled to flee for their
lives In less than five minutes the entire
mill was in flames. The mill was surrounded
with lumber belonging to G.. l.. Schuyler q
Co. A great portion was destroyed. Loss on
lumber $4,000, and on mill $4,000
Great Scarcity of Water-WOcds ON Fire.

The Passenger war at Cb;cayo

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-After forty-eight hours
truce in the Louisville passenger war ,hostilities
have been savagely resumed by the dropping
of the rate at the Pan Handle office to S1e.
For two days the rate of $3.50 has been steadi.
ly maintained, awaiting the result of kind of
long peace conference between the heads of
the two combating lines Various pronosi-
tions were submitted, but neither side was
willing to make the concessions demanded hv
the other The Louisville, New Albanv and
Chicago people announce their determination
to meet any rate of the Pan Handle, and have
also dropped to 81. All hope of compromise
is lost by this last cut, and the ques ton now
resolves itself into mere matter of endurance
of such disastrous state of affairs by the re-
spective lines. Both seemed determined, and
neither lack resources.

PROVIDENCE, r. L., Sept. 21.-Judge Carpen-
ter of the Supreme Court, this afternoon filed
dolf and others from interference in the man
agement of affairs of the Quidnick Co., by G
P. Pomeroy, assignee, appointed by the Court.
VIM. Sprague has lately been running the
mills and declared he would kill the man sent
by Pomeroy to take possession of the property
if he attempted it, hence the action of the
Court. Whether Sprague will now yield
peaceably is regarded as uncertain.
