Gov. Butler Refusei Pardon for the Fall

Gov. Butler Refusei Pardon for the Fall
River Embezzler.
Boston, Dec. 26.--Gov. Butler has declined
to pardon George 81. Hathaway the Fall River
embezzler now serving a sentence in the State
prison. In his decision as submitted to the
Council, Gov. Butler says, referring to the
claim OF Hathaway's friends, that his defalca-
tions were made ito help S. Angler
Chacs out of his difficulties, and that
he is convinced that Chace was the tempt
er and not the tempted, Admitting that
Chase secured $780, 900 from Hathaway, what
did the latter do with the remaining 100000
or $S00,000 which is unaccoupted for? Ii
Hathaway had only taken $159,000 there
might be ground for executive clemency. He
concludes: ~ need not say that regret to
come TO the conclusion TO which have come.
/ have given the subject very anxious thought.
but am relieved in so doing in some degree
from the fact that the application of Hatha-
way may be renewed to my successor, and then
perhaps this unexplained defalcation, upon
which am obliged to refuse the present appli-
cation, may be SO far explained that my own
decision, if had to make one, would be chang
ed, and TO compel the judgment of those who
come after us in the executive and council
chamber.

On Tuesday night q party O.
brutal woodchoppers just liberated
from their Summers toll, visited 8
"maison de joie" in the lower part
of town. and before they had been
there long the inmates had good
reason to think that pandemonium
had broken loose. The fellows be-
gan piling sofas and chairs upon
the piano, smashing lamps, orna'
menting the mirrors with tobacco
juice and innocently amusing them
selves in various similar ways.
When their hilarity had about
reached a climax one of the girls
fed a mild protest against their
furniture destroying deviltry. for
which she was rewarded by a bow
in the eye. This demonstration
was signal for the other female
inmates to seek protection and one
of them hurriedly summoned the
Sheriff, but on his arrival upon the
scene the ruffians had scattered
and could not be found. It is stated
that the officers are determined to
cage the men,

says correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, whether she holds a patent
on the device, but l am going TO deS-
cribe 1t anyhow, and whoever copies it
must take her own chance of suit of
infringement. 1t was what may be call
ed a duplex, front-action, adjustable
basque. 1t had the material cut away
from the front of the lining in vest
shape, and trimmed up each side and
around the neck with revers collar of
the trimming. The lining was provided
with eyelet holes and lacing string, so
that it might be drawn as loosely or as
closely as the wearer chose. To conceal
this lining a shirred vest of silk or satin
was set on just inside the revers collar,
and each shirring was merely tape
facing on the wrong side in which was
inserted an elastic ribbon which per-
mitted it to expand or contract. There
were five of these crossway shirrings,
the upper one being at the top of the
front darts, and above this the vest was
arranged in four easy plaits that were
sewed on the neck double at the top to
form a standing frill. A hook and loop
on each shirred place fastened the vest
below, and there were similar ones
above. saw the wearer let out few
lines OF lacingof her corsets in the dress

ate more than she intended to evidently,
for afterward she retired to ease her
corsage once more.

Remarkable as have been the adj.
vances in the uses to which electricity
can be put, according to Prof. Melville
Bell the future has even greater sur
prises in store for us. He. thinks the
time will come when electrical and tel
cphonic messages will be sent without
wires. The message bearer will be the
rays of the sunlight. The so-called
electrical action is simply vibrations in
the air, which produce certain results
at distant points; and Prof. Bell is of
opinion that inventive genius will yet
enable us to make use Of imponderable
agents to transmit messages between
distant localities. Indeed, there are
enthusiasts who now think that we will
ultimately be able to communicate with
sentient beings in other planets. 1t has
been demonstrated that the materials
which compose the heavenly bodies are
identical, and it is fair inference that
creatures corresponding to our own
race, with the same kind of faculties,
people them. If so, we may perhaps
yet have friendl, chat with the inhab-
itants of Venus and Mars, and probably
other worlds in solar systems beyond
our own.-DemoreSts Monthly.
