An English Sale of Shares.

A few days ago remarkable sale was
held of shares in the New River Water
Company-the oldest undertaking of
the kind in England. One half Of a
'King's SHARE" and smaller portions
of other ''King's shares were up at
auction together with twenty E1OO
shares are freehold property, and are
passed by deed like land. When James
|. assisted the founder, Sir Hugh Mid
dleton, with funds to complete his
great undertaking, a moiety of the en-
tire concern, divided, for the purpose
of this arrangement, into seventy-two
equal parts or shares, was assigned to
the King, and subsequently this moiety,
or thlrty-six shares, was reassigned to
the company in consideration Of an an
nual payment of $500 forever. The
present income Ct the shares so com
muted was last year f92, 900. In TWEEN
ty years the dividend per share has
risen from 9876 to f2,541, and the
company's income from f21O, 900 to
9473,o0o. At the sale the property was
divided into eighty-three lots, the
''king's shares beng sold in fractions
OF one-hundredths. one-hundred and
sixtieths, sixtieths, and one-hundred
and ninety-seconds. They realized at
the rate OF about 991, 900 for an entire
share. The new issue of shares of f100
each brought 1856 apiece, and the en-
tire proceeds of the sale, which extended
over three days, amounted to upward
of EGO, 000.-London Cor. PhiladezphiG

Tricllina.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June q.
The fatal termination of a case of trich-
inasis was reported Wednesday. The
victim was Mrs. Annie Schmerelin, living
at 1925 Jackson street. About six weeks
ago she and her husband were suddenly
taken violently ill, after eating raw ham. A
doctor was called, and he, on examining the
remaining portions of the ham.
discovered u~nmistakable indications of
trichin@, the meat being fairly
alive with the deadly worm.
Under the physicians skill, Scllmerein
gradually recovered, until he is now past All
danger, but his wife was doomed from the
first to a lingering death. Her entire sys-
TEN swarmed with the trichina, which fed
upon her muscles, literally devouring her to
death. During her illness of six weeks the
woman suffered apparently very little pain.
n was in a state of gradual decline. The
pain endured by her, as we'll as most per
sons afflicted with trichin@, was similar to
rheumatism.

Greasing Wagons.
Telegram;

This is of more Importance than wag-
on owners imagine. The following,
from an unknown source, is valuable
information on the subject, which we
trust will be duly needed. Few people
are aware that they do wagons and car
riages more injury by greasing too plen-
tlfully than in any other way. A we'll
made wheel will endure constant wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and proper
mount OF grease; but if this matter is
not attended to, they will be used up in
i've or six years. Lard should never
be used on a wagon, for it will pene-
trate the hub and work its way out
around the lemons OF the spokes and
spoil the wheel. Tallow is the best lu-
bricator for wooden axle-trees, and cas-
tor-oil for iron. just grease enough
should be applied to the spindle of a
wagon to give it a light coating; this is
better than more, for the surplus puton
will work out at the ends and be forced
to the shoulder bands and nut-washer
into the hub around the outside of the
boxes. To oil an iron axle-tree first
wipe the spindle clean with a cloth wet
with spirits of t%urpentine, and then ap-
ply a few drops of castor-oil near the
shoulder and end. One teaspoonful is
sufficient for the whole. We would add
that for journals on which there is q
heavy pressure it is a good plan to mix
with the oil some lamp-black or COM
mon SCOT. Powdered plumbago or
black lead is also employed for the same
purpose.

The Democrats in Canton turned out
in strong force on Monday evening to
listen to speeches by Gen. Thomas Pow
ell, of Delaware Ohio, and Mr.. William
Lynch, of this city. Previous to the,
opening of the meeting, the Canton
HOadly and Warwick Club to the nnm.
ber of 300, INDUCED in a grand street
demonstration parading the principal
streets of the city with torches, headed
by the Canton city band. The boys
started on the parade from the Demo-
cratic heaeduarters at Monitor Hall,
and we're loudly cheered along the en-
tire route of the procession. The Opera
House was completely filled with peO-
pie, as Is usually the case at DemOcT attic
meetings there among whom was quite
large number of Republicans who re-
sorted thither In the preference to at
tending the Republican meeting on
Eighth street, and listening to the time
worn sOphistical platitudes of Major
Mckinley. The speech of Gen.. Powell
was an able and masterly address, en-
tirely devoid of personalities, and was
listened to with great interest through
out its entire length by the large audi
ence present.
The General confined himself strictly
to facts, exposing the fallacies of the so
called Scott law and the second amend
ment, and closed by calling upon all
Democrats to perform their whole duty
at the polls on the next day. 1t will no
doubt be rather gratifying reading to
Gen. Powell to learn how the Democrats
of Stark county performed their duty,
and their whole duty, Tuesday. Upon
the conclusion of Gen. POwelPs speech,
our distinguished fellOw-tOwnsman Mr.
VIM. A. Lynch, was introduced, and ad-
dressed the audience, citing the past
glOries of the Democratic party, and the
bright destinies yet in store for it If
Democrats would still continue faithful
to their trust. Both speeches were the
closing ones of the campaign, and con-
tributed in no small degree to the glO-
riOus victory of Tuesday.

THE INTELLIGENT JURY FOUND AT
LAST.

BURLINGAME, Kan, Oct. "a some
what singular precedent has been estab-
lished in regard to fees in jury cases in
this county. In q criminal case before
Justice Weber at LydOn, the jury re-
tired to make verdict. Upon return
ing to court the justice asked If they had
agreed upon verdict. The foreman
replied that they had, but would not rem
der it until their fees as jurymen were
paid; that they had been taken from
their business and made involuntary at
tendants at the trial for small fee each
and to the serious detrtment of their
business; that they considered their
rights as important as those involved in
the trial; that frequently they had lost
even the small fees to which they were
entitled by law. They therefore would
not give their verdict until they got
their money. The court insisted, but
the jury held that while the law com.
pelled them to sit as jurors, it did not
compel them to render a verdict, and
they would not do so until paid their
fees. The parties to the case consulted
and paid the fees, the jury took the
money and returned their verdict and
were discharged.
