Launch In Madison.

The Harold c. Beechsr-A Look at the
 Vessel.
 A correspondent says: Thursday morn ing at nine o'clock is the time that has been set for the launching of the three-masted schooner now upon the ways at the shipy ard in Madison. After having built between 60 and 70 vessels Miner & Son have the experi- ence and the facilities necessary to turn out good vessel and this, their latest, is one of their best. The present vessel was begun in January, and although not az large as the other, upon which they are now at work, she is finely modelled, firmly built and neat ly finished She is estimated to carry at least $50 tons. Sha measures upon the keel 12o feet and iu all 14G The masts stand 81 82 and 83 feet respectively, with topmasts 45 feet. On deck every rything is trim and handy. The galley is admirably provided with cooking stove and storerooms. The forecastle with it's row of berths for the sailors looks inviting and comfortable. The cabin is provided with staterooms which are roomy and neat. It itself is elegantly finished in black walnut and in fine carved, fretted and artistically painted. Her bot tom is painted in chocolate color and above the water line she is black with red and white stripes. She carries thirteen sails and is to be manned by crew. of seven. Captain Beckwith, of Mantle, formerly of Clinton, and well known in this neighborhood as a man who spells his luck with P, will command her. Her crew will be shipped from here if possible and if not from New Haven. They will be here at the launching and she will sail at once for New York to engage in the West India and coasting trade. She is estimated to cost 1925, GOO and is owned by the captain and par ties in New Haven. Her name, the Harold c. Beecher, was given her by one of the owners in honor of his son. Those interest ed from New Haven and it is needless to say crowds from Madison and the neighboring towns will be present to see her launched and to wish her and her captain, both worthy of each other. the best of good fortune

A fire broke out in the house No. 80 Kim berly avenue, occupied by German named Schorer and his family, yesterday afternoon about o'clock.

A New Article Friday, Aug. 17.

In the progress of investigation reached in our l. st paper the expression of fundamental and con- trolling principle offered by the philosophic and penetrating mind of the father of homeopathic med ioine According to him this principle lies at the root of life ise and its intrinsic properties, as we then saw, were embodied in the expression "vitaI force," from which all the phenomena of life date their origin, and deprived of which all life ceases and is incapable of further continuance.
 Now let us take another step and endeavor to an Ayze nearly may be the nature of this control
 ling principle of what it conEists, where 1t dWells how 1t exercises its mysterious powers and why supervenes upon cessation of the operation of those powers. The term vital force, employed by HAhnemann, is an unmeaning phrase, unless we can reach some definition whereby the rationale of life can be expressed To call 1t force" at all would

In like manner vogue and 50 closely allied to superstion and the supernAtura and declare that vital force is spiritual taty and of kinship with the great author of be- ing. we virtually abandon the guidance and teach ings of science and proclaim ourselves incompetent to fathom this profound and wondrous mystery.

A Lively Riot-Ftsh ermen Who Fought
 to Prevent a Court Conviction.
 ROCHESTER, Aug. 13 A serious riot ec- cured this forenoon at the Forest House in the town of Irondequoit, few miles from here, during the progress of g trial for H. legal fishing instituted by the State game constable Schwartz. The game constable has had hard task in breaking up the gang of fishermen who are robbing the lake of it's best fish and arrested Sanford Drake. A party of fifty men collected where the court was held and determined that a conviction should not take place and in order to accom- plish this tried to prevent the court from being held. A riot ensued during which some blood was shed. Assist ant District Attorney Taylor sent word to the sheriff, who went down with posse, but be- fore his arrival there it was stopped, the rioters leaving the hotel and proceeding to- wards the Newport House. The sheriff and his posse went after them and arrested five of their principals. Not much damage was done, but the fight was lively one while it lasted.
