A Queer Sect.
lCorr. Worcester spy.1


There is peculiar attraction on the Pc
tersham road, aside from scenery, or summer
boarders. A sect who style themselves
'rhe Adonai Shomo' abide on the verge Of
this township. As they are the only sect Of
the kind in the country, was curious to
see them. The principal features of their
belief are as follows: Property In common.
celibacy, direct answers to prayer for person.
al wants, and a vegetable diet They are
now family OF twelve souls. say souls,
for 1 suppose if any sect have souls, it must
be ''The Adonai Shomo." They had 20 n
the family before black sheep crept into thr
fold aud poisoned the innocent lives of theie
members. We were received by Sister
Hawks, who might be considered by some
as the aged belle of the establishment. She
seemed very happy, as she had Just received
an answer to prayer about bonnet. 1t
seems she had not had a new bonnet for
eight years, and the Lord had just directed
her to buy herself one trimmed with drabs
She looked weary, however, having q sick
sister on her hands, and a guest from B0s-
ton to entertain. This elderly female from
Boston looked as though she might enjoy
promlscuous visiting exceedingly, her only
drawback was, undoubtedly, taking her
meals alone, which is custom with ''The
Adonai Shomo," unless you belong to their
sect. Brother Asa French, the president Of
the number, calamity came to the rescue Of
Sister Hawks on the committee of enter
tainment. Unlike most high officials, he
was not extravagantly dressed. In fact, his
dress was better adapted for the tropics than
an afternoon reception in Petersham. How
ever, he explained the belief Of "The Adomai
Shomo" to our satisfaction, and that was all
We required.

An Interesting Letter from Elk
President Woolsey of Yale.

Mr. t. Alfred Vernon, of Brooklyn, recently
wrote to ex-Presdent Woolsey, Of Yale Col
lege, asking whether he considered Mr.. Blaine
innocent or guilty of the charge that be used
his official position to make money dishonesty.
DIR. Woolsoy's reply is as follows:
New HAVEN, Sept. 20, 1884.
Z. Aired Vernon, Esq:
My Dear Sir:-It is true that have formed
the opinion that Mr.. Blaine cannot have acted
dishonesty in his transaction to which you re-
fer. based my opinion on Mr.. Hears de-
fence Of him at first, as well as on the conf
dence entertained in him by Mr.. Garfield and
by Messrs Dawes, Hawley and Edmunds, of
the United States Senate, who have long
known him. As for the special charges in the
Fisher and Mulligan affair, l may refer you,
especially, to pamphlet which suppose to
be written by George Bliss of New York. May
1 add that the character of the President is
in this election. More important is the gener-
al character of the two parties, and especially
the reliance which can be reposed on the two
parties ia their Interpretation OF the Constitu-
ton, the moral and religious worth to be found
in the two, and their past respect for the Con-
stitution. And of no small Importance is the
ability and power of judging in the two men
now candidates OF the two parties. Mr.. Cleve-
land seems to me very small man, and una.
BILE to act Independently on important ques-
lions. II, then, all things are put together, the
ability and character of the two, the party
supporting them, and the danger of throwing
a great weight of Influence on the men who
brought on the war, there can be no doubt that
Mr.. Blaine ought to be supported.
Your friend and servant.

WASHINGTON.
Judge FoIxer,s successor

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Judge W. @.
Gresham, postmaster general, received tele-
gram from the President after IL O'Clock last
night informing him of his appointment to the
secretaryship OF the treasury. He Immediate
ly qualified and sent to the President his resig-
nation as postmaster general. At 10 O'Clock
this morning MIR. Gresham went to the treasu.
ry department with Secretary Chandler. His
appointment from the President was given to
him by the private secretary of the President
and his commission by Third Assistant Secre-
tary of State a. A. Abee. Assistant Secreta-
ries French and Coon were present and ten
dered him their congratulations. The new
secretary left Washington this afternoon to
consult with the President. Under the law,
First Assistant Postmaster General Hatton be-
comes acting postmaster general for ten days.
Among the members of the cabinet, the ap-
pointment has been the subject of talk for sew
eral days past and Judge Gresham has known
that he might be called to take the place in q
certain contingency. The contingency was the
inability to obtain decisive answer from a
gentleman whom the President had in view
for the treasury portfolio. This gentleman is
believed to be Hugh Mccullough.
Judge Gresham accepts the position as a
matter of accommodation to the President and
his intimate friends say it is only temporary
appointment. The duration of the appoint
ment is only fixed till about the LIST of October,
when it is believed that Judge Gresham will
resign and accept the judgeship on the illinois
circuit
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The President to-
day designated assistant secretary Coon to act
as secretary Of the treasury during the absence
or sickness at any time of Secretary Gresham.

was very dark and the rain was pouring in
torrents. The crash of the rolling cars,
screams of women and grosns and shrieks of
the wounded were terrible to listen to and the
horrors were multiplied when the chief engi-
neer's coach took fire. The flames burned
tiercely despite the pouring rain and quickly
communicated to the Pullman coach that
came next, though there the flames we're
checked. A large number of the townspeople
quickly gathered and aided in rescuing the
passengers from the burning Pullman car As
quickly as possible the passengers collected to-
gether and the roll was called when it was
found that about a dozen were injured but
none seriously. One of the coaches was
smashed into kindlipg wood ana all were
whirled over and over several times, yet many
escaped absolutely unhurt, while the most
OF the wounds were of slight character. The
injured were taken to Whitby where medical
aid was procured. The damage to the track
and rolling stock is estimated at 100000.

Asuit HnyoIyiug Millions.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25.-Mr. NJ. j. Cum
ningham, attorney general of the State, filed
today petition against the New Orleans Gas
Company, in which he alleges that there ex-
lists at present in this State a company without
authority of law, styling itself the New Or
leans Gas Company; that the legislature of the
State in 1885 created a body incorporated un-
der the name of the New Orleans Gaslight
and Banking Company; that said charter ex-
pired ON April 1, 1875, and was so judicially
decreed by the Supreme Court of the State;
that the said New Orleans Gas Company is
asserting the exercise of certain rights and
privileges without the permission of the State
or authority of the city of New Orleans. The
petition also shows that said New Orleans Gas
Company claims in some way, without legal
right, to have succeeded to the pretended
rights of an association styled the Crescent
City Gas Company, whose rights have all been
forfeited; that the interest of the State in the
matter exceeds $4,000, aud said company is
assuming to exercise rights, powers, and func-
tions in contempt of the sovereignty and
power of Louisiana. The petition sets forth
prayer for mandatory injunction restraining
the New Orleans Gas Company from exercis-
ing the said rights About $4,000, 900 is in
volved in the suit, which, il won, rsvsrts to
the State.

Murdered i'm the Lone Star State.
NEW FAIRFIELD, Conn.,, Sept. "a The par
ents of young James I. Stevens of this place
have received the following advices concerning
his supposed murder in Texas. Young Stew
ems was prescription clerk for W. A. Irwin &
Co., druggist, in Ell Paso. September LIST he
left El Paso for Mundy's ranch, nine miles in
the country, to buy cattle with Harry Hall,
superintendent of Mundy's ranch. He prom
ised his friends to return that night, failing in
which they became uneasy, and Thursday af-
ternoon friend named Charles Dickens went
up to the camp to ascertain the cause of his non
return. He found the camp was broken up
and all provisions and cooking utensils gone.
Dickens soon discovered Stevens track, which
he followed few yards, and found six empty
cartridge shells, No. A. A few steps farther
on his tracks were seen surrounded by hum
dreds of horse tracks. Dickens continued bis
pursuit until O'Clock next morning, and, be-
Ing satisfied that the trail led wet, he return
ed to FL Paso. A man from Las Cruces says
mat ne met Hall and an empoye and a Mexi-
can boy thirty miles west, on the Southern Pa
cihc railroad, with thirty head of horses and
leading two horses with saddles on, still going
west. Stevens had $500 or $500, gold watch
and chain and ring when he lett. The Ell Pase
Lone Star says the tracks of both Stevens and
Hall were traced to the river, where those of
the former disappeared. 1t is believed that
Hall murdered Stevens, robbed him and threw
him into the river.

Pauper Labor in Europe.
The Conclusions Formed by n Prominent
American Iron Manufacturer.

Among the Dauphine county people at
present travelling in Europe is Mr.. A. S.
Matherson, one of the owners of the Middle
town Tube Works, the largest mandatory
of the kind in America. Mr.. Mattheson
writes from Scotland to Mlddletown as fol-
lows on the tariff question, having visited
the iron districts of Great Britain for the
purpose of comparing notes:
SIN travelling through the country here
one cannot fail to observe the many idle
mills and factories, particularly those in the
iron districts; many large and extensive
blast furnaces and mills going to ruin, hav-
ing stood idle for years. In one part Of
Staffordshire district L visited many plants
were standing idle, and great many more
had been totally destroyed and swept out of
existence. These are all objects that cause
one in the present agitation ia our country
ofProtection and Free Trade to consider seri-
ously whether we can stand Free Trade.
England, with her pauper labor and many idle
mills 10 start up, could swamp us in short
time with free trade, and our only protec-
ton at present is our tariff, or, without It,
then we must have pauper labor also, and /
doubt if our working men can stand this
after living like men compared with the pau
per condition of the classes here.
hope the working men of our country
will not be led away with false notions in
the present presidential campaign TO vote

that party lies the degradation of the work.
ing classes. Great Britain wants the DEM
ocrats to succeed, and is doing all she can to
assist that party. That is sufficient proof
that the Republican party should be upheld.
The British fear the election of Blaine, be-
cause they know he is a representative man,
and will hold the position of our nation
with proper dignity and look after the pro-
tective interests of our people. The papers
here rarely mention American news, except
of damaging character. They take good
care to mention the bad said of Blaine and
all the good said of Cleveland.
My visits among the mills in our own line
show them far behind US. You see men do
ing things about mill that we never allow
men to touch, and when you ask why they
do it (of the management they say: "Oh,
labor is cheap, and few extra men is no OBJ
ject to u.s." An evidence that, though their
product is so small, compared with ours,
without our tariff they could undersell us,

lance, being only 20 per cent. Of the total
cost of manufactured iron materials, while
