1t is no place for the average tender


foot. During my two years sojourn in
that country did not, in fact, meet with
any one who intended to make it his home
for any considerable length of time. The
wet and, to some extent, disagreeable eli
mate; the almost endless davs in summer
and nights of equal duration in winter,
together with the strange, wild, desolate
appearance Of the country soon sickens the
h art OF the poor pilgrim and turns him on
t le back track home. Yet it is undoubted-
Iy a very rich mineral country. The dis
trict at Ieneau seems to be stralitied by a
complete net work Of gold bearing lodes,
and the entire country covered with loose
float, in which gold, in many instances, can
be seen with the naked eye. This is the
only district in which any progress has
thus far been made toward development
but by no means the only one discovered
Across the bay, four miles west from the
own of Jeneau on Douglass Island, a
twenty stamp mill has been erected and is
now in successful operation. This mill is
built on gold bearing lode which has
been erroneouslv reported to be over two
hundred feet wide but which in fact is
about one hundred and ten feet in widt'i
and is composed Of soft free milling rock
aud runs about twenty dollars per ton
The lodcs on the east side Of the hav are
smaller than the one above mentioned, but
many of them much richer.
The Territory is As yet too new for any
one to attempt to pre'lirt its future as 4
mining country. The natives fonnd in the
vicinity of the mining camps and trading
posts are industrious and providert. The,
live in good, substantial, log houses and in
!. manner and St, le (in some ins'ances) thai
would compare f,;vorabiy with people o
lofier pretcnticns. The men make very
rood miners and labOrers. The women

ED. STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT:-In or
der to settle bet with some old friends
who suffered through Macdonald 81 Co.,
please to inform US through your col
umns who was the Judge that sentenced
Fessler, and what was his politics; also
what Governor pardOned Fessler, and
how many years had he to serve; also
state the actual loss to the county. If
not asking to much would also like to
know the name of the publisher of the
Repository, and If he was not an active
and leading Know Nothing, and insti-
gated and approved the midnight burg
lariOus destruction of the STARK COUNTY
DEMOCRAT Office in 1861.
Yours truly, PETER SMITH, JR.
Judge s. Meyer, Democrat, was the
Common Pleas Judge who sentenced
Fessler to the Penitentiary for twelve
years; and Governor Charles Foster par
doned Fessler about two years ago when
he had nine years or more to serve. 1t
was Republican influence that let him
out, and during his last term in the
Treasurer's Office, when the deficit oc-
Cured, Fessler was wholly and entirely
under the debauehing influence Of Re-
publicans. The actual loss to the coun-
ty was about $4,000. Thomas w. Saxton
is the publisher and head of the RepOsi-
tory, and was undoubtedly an active and
earnest member of the Know Nothing
organization. As for the other matters
he did not take an open hand, but was
greatly pleased thereat undoubtedly.

DOES PROHIBITION PRoHIBIrq

In 1852 a stringent prOhibitOry law
was passed in Vermont, and the manu-
faeture, sale, furnishing or giving away
of Intoxicating liquors, as we'll as ale,
porter and lager beer, Were specially in
cluded in the law. This law has been
on the statute books for thirty years.
The Boston Globe has had a correspond
ent in Vermont making inquiries. This
correspondent says:
Has the law been successful in abOl-
ishing or even measureably restricting
the liquor trafficP Far from it. Ac
cOrding to figures furnished by United
States revenue officers. there were in
this state two years ago 406 places where
liquor was sold; in 1882 there were 1876,
and this year the number has increased
to 446, OF one to every 745 of the pOpula-
ton, which is large proportion for an
agricultural and sparsely settled state.
The fact is the prOhibitory law is so out
rageous in its methods and so severe in

its penalties that it is not sustained by
that public sentiment on which all laws
must rest. Except for spasmOdic at
tempts at enforcement, under the lead
of the ultra refOrmers, or through some
VenRl scOundrel who thriVes upon the
mOiety of the fines allowed him, the
law, it is not too much to say, is dead
letter, and the sale of liquor is just as
free and open as if there we're no pro-
hibitiOn, and more indecent in its bold
ness and injurious in its effects. More
than this, the statute has been the direct
cause of more perjury and subOrnatiOn
of perjury and of contempt and disre-
gard of all law than any other agency.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Pittsburgh's Great Exposition in
Ashes.
All the Valuable Products, Relics and
Other Contents Are De-
stroyed.

PITTSBURGH. Oct. 3.-At o'clock this
morning fire broke out in the great ex-
position building, and in less than an
hour the entire structure, including ma.
chinery and hOT OTticultuTal halls, were in
flames. The country was lit up for 10
miles around. All the structures, with
their contents, are total loss. The eX-
hibits represented all the industries,
with many valuable relics, among them
the Arabian, the first locomotive ever
built in this country. The loss is fully
a quarter of a million dollars. The fire
swept down to the Allegheny river. de-
strOying scores Of freight cars and a
large portion of the Pittsburgh IL West
ern railroad. The Union bridge was
partially destroyed. The cause is I'M
known. Fifteen watchmen were in the
building, and it is feared some of them
perished.
THE LOSS OVER S3,OOO,OOO.
PITTSBURGH. Oct. 3.-The loss by the
dre is now estimated over $3,000,000.
Several Thousand dollars in the safe is
lost. Scarcely anything was saved. Six
houses near by are total wreck. The
building is surrounded by a great
crowd of exhibitors. The streets for
blocks adjacent are packed with people.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-The scene of yes
teTday mornings s.cOnflagratiOn attract
ed large crowds today, many of whom
were strangers. Among the ruins were
swaTms of men at work clearing away
the debris, and delYing into the heaps
of charred wood, or exploring the depths
of pools of water, in the hope of finding
something of value. There were also a
number of women, small exhibitors, who
had lost their little all in the fire, and
who still kept up the search in des-
pairing way, hoping to save something
from the general ruin. The origin of
the fire is still unknown, and the fur
ther it is prObed the more mystery sur
rounds ii. The exposition managers
hold firmly to the belief that it was the
work of incendiaries, and not caused by
an explosion of benzine. The latest the
Ory is that it was set on fire for the pur-
pose of robbery. The aggregate loss as
stated yesterday will reach $l,000,000,
while The insurance is not One-ffth of
this amount. The exposition society
are having high fence erected around
the grounds, and next Saturday even
ing propose giving grand pyrOtech-
mic display.

DEATH ON THE soAFFoLD.
James MoSteen Hanged at PIttsburgh for
Wife-Murder.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 4.-James McSteen
was hanged this morning in the yard of
the county Jail. The execution was con-
ducted quietly and was witnessed by 200
persons. The doomed man retired early
last evening and slept all night. At 5
o'clock this morning he arose, and after
making careful toilet, partOOk of a
hearty breakfast. He was visited later
by two sisters of mercy and the spiritual
adviser, Father Ward. None of mis- rela-
tiOns put in an appearance. At IL o'clock
he left the cell for the scaffOld, attended
by Father Ward and The Sheriff. He
walked erect and ascended the scaffOld
with firm step. When asked If he had
anything to say he replied mo" The
cap was then placed over his head and
his hands tied. At HOS o'clock the drop
was sprung, and in the fall his neck was
broken. In eight minutes he was pro-
nOunced dead.
The crime for which he suffered the
highest penalty of the law was uxOri-
eide. On the evening of June 9th, he
sent his little boy out of the house on
some pretense, and when the little fell
low returned he found his mother lying
on the floor with her skull crushed in,
and bloody axe on the floor beside her.
His father had fed, but was arrested the
same night. When the trial came up it
was clearly shown that he had commit
ted the deed, and he was accordingly
convicted.
