Death of an Eccentric Man.

New York, September 20.-A tall,
broad shouldered old gentleman, dressed
in the style of half a century ago was,
until recently, a familiar figure to the
guests of the New York hotel. For thir-
ty years he had stopped at the hotel, eat
ing his meals with clock like regularity
and severely Winding his own business.
He died at the hotel this morning, aged
80. He was Mr.. Seabury Brewster, a
bachelor millionaire, who was once con-
sidered the shrewdest and most prosper
GUS dry goods merchant in this city. He
retired from business more than thirty
years ago. He owned the two marble.
front five story building at Nos, G27 and
600 Broadway, which have been unten.
anted for twenty-five years. 1t Is said
that his reason for keeping the buildings
vacant was known only to himself. One
of his few intimate friends said this eve.
ming that when Mr.. Brewster erected the
building he got several tenants who con-
fessed to him that they borrowed money
to pay the rent. He then resolved to
close the building, saying he would not
be a party to the impoverishing of ten
ants. A placard dangled from the front
of the Broadway building to-day, n
%nouncing that they were to lease. The
funeral will be from the New York hotel
tomorrow. Mr.. Brewster's large fortune
will go to his nephew, William L. Brew
ster.

THE SKIRMISHERS WORN.
While Stuart's boys have been opera.
ting in the Musselshell Valley and along
the international boundery, several other
bands have had big %round.ups In Judith,
Toton and Marias counties, Hunting in
small parties, these lynchers have been
able to rake in a good many of the stray.
glers from the Stuart campaign, and it
is II thought that comparatively few have
been able to get away. Two or three
wounded men have been lyuched, but all
efforts to mako them tell under what cir.
c%umstancos they were shot proved una
]vailing. These rowing bands Of lynchers
report that they have hanged more than
twenty thieves, and the stolen stock that
they have recovered is coming in
daily. The achievement over
which the most satisfaction Ia expressed
is the lynching of "Dutch" Louis, a
notorious ally Of the thieves, who had
long been a nuisance in this country, but
about whom there has been much mys.
terry. Lander and Galbrait's party came
up with him on Crooked creek. Ho had
a fine ranch near there, and no one In
the party suspected who he was until
after he had been left behind on the
trail and some stolen cattle were found in
his corral. While the boys were ~investi-
eating his ranch he rode up, and they
questioned him. He made explanations
of the presence of tho cattle, which
might have proved satisfactory If one of
the boys had not said:
81 believe this is Dutch Louis"
The old fellow flew into a passion of
denunciation and denial, and in his rage
fell into broken English, which congrmed
the suspicion. The more he protested
the more determined the boys became,
and at last, when he began to fear that
nothing could save him, he confessed his
identity and begged for mercy.
"Up with him. yelled two or three
of the boys, and one of them exposing a
rope.
"lll give you o tousand dollar" he
screamed, eff you let mt go, and I'll
leave the country and never come back"
you'll leave the country anyway,''o
served the brawny cow.puncher who held
him by the neck, land if you ever come
back we'll do you up again"
In spite of his p~rotestations, the rope
was adjusted, and, hardly moving him
from whore he stood, they passed the
other end of the cord over a limb, and
the portly form of the old thief was
swung high in the air.
AS they moved on, some of the old
mans cattle passed near his suspended
body, and, believing their astonishment
at the unwonted scene, oantered away to
Join the herd.

OUR STATE ELECTION.

Vermont has again spoken. Is it
said that there is no significance in
her tones now? We think that he
who harbors the thought that there
is none, mistakes the signs of the
times. It will be said that she has
spoken as usual-"simpiy that and
nothing more" But let it be re-
membered that she has done so
under unusual circumstances. 1t
speaks well for her steady, consist
ent purposes that amid factions and
low sqUaUDies which have. rent and
disturbed and disgraced some coun-
ties in the State, she has remained
true to the general ticket-that
which tests her truth and loyalty tc
principles-that which indicates hel
sentiments in respect to nationa
questions, and that which show
that she regards the whole as o
greater Importance than any of it
parts. So we may well congratulate
the Republicans on the firm, steady
and secure action resulting in thu
State election which is all that vii
have any party significance in tht
country. Iflightning has struck ii
any localities, those disaffecteC
without cause will have ample time
to reflect on the wisdom of attempt
ing to thwart the people-to climl
to places under false pretences, Of
to crafty feelings of low malice
while those justly disturbing the
order of things may with good grace
commend to local organizations that
care which will place such men il
nomination as win not be used a.
tools for sinister purposes, but sucl
as will meet public approval and
use the convention hall no longer
for hospital to cure sores which
will surely break cut afterwarj
among the people.

in the department of agricultural
products, and get more practical in
struction in the three days than
they gain on their farms in a whole
year. This may not be true in in
dividual cases, butts true as a whole.
One farmer profits by the experience
of another, and so all are benefited
in a greater or less degree. There
fore we say to the farmers do all
you can to aid these societies, and
support them with such hearty
unanimity as to make them an as
sured success in every feature. You
can best do this by attending the
annual exhibitions, by inducing
others to attend, and by placing in
competition for premiums such stock
or products as you may think
worthy. The better the exhibit in
classes, the greater the benefits
which will accrue. Don't let your
county fairs be failure for want OF
attendance or exhibits, for not only
is it for your interest to insure sue
cess, but your credit, intelligence
business capacity and ability tc
compete with other States are al
stake.

THE FADING OPPOSITION.

1t is plain to every intelligent and
candid observer that the Independ-
ent revolt against Mr.. Blaine has for
some time been steadily declining?
1t never extended seriously outside
of Boston and narrow circuit of
New York. The Boston opposition
was noisy, but against the firm Re
publicanism of Massachusetts it was
not alarming. The only place where
the revolt threatened any danger
was in New York, and there only
because the State was supposed to
be close and doubtful. And even
there the decline of the movement
is unmistakable.
Go into the Union League at
New York, and the scattered men
who month ago were hesitatino or
inclined to oppose Mr.. Blaine are
now unreseryedly for him. Go into
the circles where Mr.. Curtis natural
| ly found followers, and many who
at first were misled by the delusive
cries raised against Mr.. Blaine have
now come to right understanding
of the true issues and stand with
their old Republican associates. The
1 leaders of the revolt are held to the
path they have chosen by the pride
of position, by the bitterness of then
vengeful personal feeling and by
their free trade sympathies, though
it is plain that their spirit has beer
dampened; but of the rank and file
of. the Independent body a large
proportion have resumed their place
in the Republican party.
This is the natural fruit of time
and reflection. They have fount
that they had misiudged Mr.. Blaine
They have found that they were dc
Eceived in Mr.. Cleveland. They have
realized that there was no principl,
underlying the Independent move
ment. They have come to see tina
! it is battle between the same ole
forces which have fought each othe
for nearly quarter of a century
the one side representing all tina
has been achieved and all that i
hoped, the business security and til,
political progress Of the country
the other representing resistance t,
. every forward step, and standing
for uncertainty, distrust and danger
Gus tendencies. As this become
clearer and clearer there wilt b,
very little left of the Indeponden
osition.-Philadelphia Press.

OUR COUNTY FAIRS.

Notice has already been given in
these columns Of the time and place
of holding the annual fairs for Coos
and Essex counties. The Upper
Coos and Essex tenth annual fair
will be held on Wednesday and
Thursday September 81 and %, at
Colebrook, N. H; and the ff-
teepth annual fair Of the Coos and
Essex Agricultural Society will be
held at Lancaster, N. H, on Tues
day, Wednesday, and Thursday,
September l6, II, and l8. We sin
cerely hope that the farmers of the
two counties and all others interest
ed will aid in making these fairs a
success by attending the exhibitions
and placing in competition for the
premiums offered such stock, articles
of manufacture and farm products
as will tend to make the fairs inter-
est;ng and instructive exhibitions of
the products and manufactures of
the counties. In the past the Lower
Coos and Essex Society has had
mnch to contend with, and at one
time the odds against it were so
great that failure seemed inevitable.
The diFec tors and managers, how
ever kept up good courage, and in
spite of hard times, unpropitious
weather, and, 1--WE are ashamed to
say it), the apathy and Indifference
shown by those very people whom
these annual fairs were intended to
benefit, have managed to place this
society in a good financial condition.
And for all this they are entitled to
the greatest credit and to the hearty
support Of the people. We know
not how it is with the Upper Coos
and Essex Society, but as a general
thing all such societies have like
odds to contend against There is
NO class in the community more
benefited by these annual exhibi
tons than the farmers. They gath
or togetherj compare notes; ex
change views upon topics of practi
cal interest to all farmers; discus
the good points Of the different
breeds Of horses, cattle, sheep ant
swine; Loo, ever Tie various exhibits
