Our Mem County Judge.

Gov. Rusk last week appointed Mr..
Richard Bardon, of this city, Probate
Judge for this county, for the unex-
pired term for which Mr.. Perry de-
ceased, was elected, which will be
three years from the first of January

lacked four votes Of IN election. This

law the. listers had no right to double
his bank stock, and that other persons,
notably the nonresident stockholders
of the National Car company, returned
no inventories, and that their stock
was not doubled in the assessment,
thereby creating an inequality of tax
alton to his injury. The suits are re-
turnable to the next April term of the
County court. On the other hand, it is
asserted that at the time of the assess
ment Mr.. Barlow held nearly million
and three-quarters of the new first
mortgage bonds of the consolidation of
roads now operated together as the
Southeastern railway, on which he
should be taxed, and so his assessment
was in reality a great deal smaller than
it ought to have or might have been.
Mr.. BarlOw's attorneys claim to be
very confident that the law is invalid,
and of their ability to defeat the collec-
ton of these taxes, Notwithstanding
that the legislature last fall passed an
act legalizing the grand list of st. AL
bans as basis of taxation.

An Ocean Horror.
OVER FOUR HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

The neutrality-suspicious. line steam
er Cimbria, which sailed from Ham
burg on Thursday afternoon for Havre
and New York, with $50 passengers
and crew of 10, came into collision
with the British steamer Sultan in a
dense fog, on Friday morning, twelve
miles southwest of Borkum, an island
in the North Sea, twenty-six miles
northwest of Erndin, belonging to
Prussia, and sank in fifteen minutes
The officers did all in their power to
save lives. Without a moments loss
of time belts were distributed
among the passengers, and an order
was given to lower the boats. This,
however, in consequence of the vessels
reeling over on her side, was found to
be very difficult on one side and absO-
lutely impossible on the other. As the
second officer was still engaged in cut
ting the spars loose, so that there
should be as much driftwoOd as posi-
BILE for the people to cling to, the inev-
liable laundering occurred, and the
vessel went down under his feet. He
seized spar, but as several other per-
sons chung to it, was obliged to let go,
and he swan to boat. This boat was
subsequently picked up by the Theta.
| The second officer steered the Theta to
CuXhaven. Seventeen other persons
were saved by the steamer Diament
from the Weser lighthouse. 1t is also
reported that eleven survivors have
been landed from another vessel. The
passengers were mostly emigrants from
East Prussia.
A survivor from the Cimbria makes
the following statement: The weather
was clear up to LIS o'clock, but fog
then set in, which continued and in
creased in density. The engines OF
the Cimbria were kept at full speed
until 100 o'clock, then at half speed
until , o'clock, after which they were
kept at slow speed. About ten min,
utet past two o'clock the whistle o
another steamer was heard, and tn,
engines of the Cimbria were stopped
instantly. The Sultan's green ligh
was, owing to the fog, not observed
until she was only $50 feet off from tn,
Cimbria. The latter was struck abaf
the bulkhead, on the port side, and sh,
heeled over to starboard and speedily
sank.

Fighting the Vermont Tax Law
A PROMINENT CITIZEN SUED.

A dispatch from st. Adams Monday
says that Hon. Bradley Barlow, Presi-
dent of the Southeastern railway, is a
resident of that place, owning a hand
some residence on North Main street,
and is also the president and owner of
a majority of the capital stock of the
Vermont National bank of st. Adams.
In 1881 he made out and returned to
the..listers an inventory of his taxable
property under oath, as required by
law, in which he swOre to debts offset
ting the entire amount of his personal
property. In 1882 the condition of his
affairs had changed somewhat and he
neglected to return an inventory. The
listers appraised his real estate and
personal property connected Herewith
and his bank stock, and fixing upon
the amount as the value of his taxable
property, put into the list as the basis
of assessments for taxes against him
double the amount thus ascertained, as
provided by the law, being S404 $50.
The whole amount of taxes for the
year assessed upon this property is
about $1,000. Mr. Barlow declined to
paw, and a few days since the collector
levied upon his horses, carriages and
valuable paintings and furniture i'll his
house Mr.. Barlow, by his attorneys,
at once sued out wits of replevin
against the officer and took back the
property, giving bonds with sureties to
pay the taxes and costs, or return of
the property if the court should event
uaIly decide that the taxes were legal.
Mr. Barlow intends to fight the taxes
to the end, and will take advantage of
every attainable flaw in the law or the
assessment. The principal ground of
his contention will be that under the

Ventilation Of stables.

At the State DairYmen's association,
held last week in Burlington, II. A.
Cutting of Lunenburg had this to say
about the ventilation of barns and
stables. He described Il barn built by
Charles b. COr of Lunenburg stable
perfect in every respect except that OF
ventilation. The poor ventilation so
affected his milk and consequently the
butter that he lost eight to ten cents "A
pound on the latter, which he had pre-
viously sold at forty cents and upward.
Mr.. Coe sent for him and he told him
that the trouble was lack of ventilation,
and he at once proceeded to remedy 1t
rs far as possible. With good ventlla-
ton, his milk became as good as ever
He therefore urged upon all the farm
ers of Vermont the vital necessity of "A
thorough ventilation of their barns.
Build high ventlating chimneys and
connect every stall with them, he said,
and don't he afraid of making them too
large.

The mixing house and six packing
houses of the great powder works at
Point Clement, near West Berkeley,
Cal, exploded at four o'clock on Sun
day afternoon. The shocks of seven
explosions were felt in San Francisco.
SO far as known l white man and %
Cinnamon were killed, the former the
assistant superintendent. He could
have saved himself, but remained to
try and save the works. When the
first explosion occurred he ran to the
-glycerine house to turn on water
to eXtinguish the fire, but was killed
by the explosion of this house. 1t is
thought that eight or ten bodies are in
the ruins. The cause of the explosion
is mystery, and whether the powder
in every one of the packing houses
exploded cannot be told.

The Massachusetts SenatOrship'

The deadlock over the choice of
United States senator i'll the Massachu-
sets legislature was broken on Thurs
day, Grapes forces weakening, giving
IIoar nine more than a majority.
A good deal of unnecessary and I'M
mcrited vituperation has been show
cred upon ex-governor Long by the
Hoar organs because the former would
not withdraw his name from the con-
test. This the bingham statesman re-
fused to do, and while his course has
antaronized the machine, he acted
wisely. Time will soften the asperi-
ties. and the republican party of the
BAY state owe too much to John D..
Long to turn the cold shoulder to the
most popular man in the party in that
state. If he had consented to take the
nomination for governor mt the late
election. the state would not now suffer
the humiliation of having Butler III the
gubernatorial chair, for Long would
have been reelected 10y his usual hand
some majority. Long may have exhb-
tied seltishncss in declining To be gov

Serious shooting Accident.

Lawyer Guy C.. Noble, in company
with l.. c. Hall, started out rabbit
hunting this morning, equipped with
double barrel breech-lOading shotguns.
While returning from the woods in the
afternoon, and riding along the high
way, one of the guns from which the
cartridge had not been withdrawn, and
which lay in the sleigh between the
two men, was accidentally discharged,
the contents entering the right arm of
Mr.. Noble in the lower part near the
shoulder. The fieshy part of the arm
was badly mangled and large part
shot away, leaving the bone exposed.
The ugly wound bled profusely; the
loss of blood causing Mr.. Noble to lose
consciousness. In this condition he
was driven rapidly to the nearest
house, which happened to be Mr.. Ric-
Ord's. Mr.. Hall lifted his unconscious
companion in his arms and carried him
into the house mentioned, where the
flow of blood was partly stayed until
the arrival of three of our village ply
sicians who were quickly sent for. The
doctors hope they will be able to save
