Terrible Crash at St. Adams.

ST. ALBANs, VT, Aug. G.-Intense
excitement was oc ,asioned here to-day
by the announcement of the failure of
Hon. Bradley Barlow and the suspen-
sion of business at the Vermont Nation
al bank and St. Adams Trust Com
pany. Inquiry of Mr.. Barlow revealed
the fact that he has failed for $500, 900,
and claims that as far as he is con-
cerned the failure is complete, and
takes all he has. 1t was due to the
failure of the Canadian Pacific syndi-
cate to purchase the Southeastern rail-
road, of which Mr.. Barlow is presi-
dent. He had expected in this way to
be relieved of financial difficulties,
which have been pressing him lately.
Barlow has made an assignment of all
his property to the Vermont National
panK, which had discounted the paper
OF the Southeastern road to the amount
OF $4,000. The bank holds bonds
Of the Montreal, Portland and Boston
railway as collateral, and also holds
paper endorsed by Mr.. Barlow. Mr..
Barlow says he hoped to raise money
in bonds to take up these notes, but
his expectations not being realized, he
laid the matter before the bank direct
ors Saturday night and they advised a
suspension of business. How this
thing is coming out no fellow can tell,
but it looks dark row far many people
in the vicinity of the failure.

II The senatorial deadlock in New
Hampshire ended Thursday with the
choice of Gen. Austin f. Pike. The
seven weeks contest has embittered the
factions almost to the point of party
disintegration. Gen. Pike is Ga years
old, prominent lawyer, who has
served five terms in the lower house of
the legislature and two terms as presi-
dent of the senate. He was also
member of the Add congress, and as
man is certainly above the average Of
New Hampshire politicians.

With the United States Senate al
most evenly divided, with Democrat

eight States, and with the people every

departments at Washington, nothing
short of suicidal folly or incapacity
can prevent the Democrats from elect
ing their national ticket next year.

Opinion of DR.. MOTT, late Government
Chemist on ALLCoCK's Porous PLASTER.
My investigation of Allcock's Porous
Plaster shows it to contain valuable and
essential ingredients not found in any
other plaster. These ingredients are 50
perfectly proportioned that the Allcock's
Porous Plaster Will not cause blisters or
excessive irritation, and find it superior
to and more efficient than any other

From January to May, inclusive
the number of German emigrants to
this country was S0,S13, as against
lO2,324 in the same period of last

have something to do with the decrease.
