Hockit Coal and Iron Company at Straitsvlle
The fires cannot be extinguished it is impossible
to get where they are No disturbance of any
character has been reported. The four Straitsvile
mines have been idle for long time and the COM

Sheriff of Perry County to come there and make
the syndicale's PinkerJon Guards lay down their
arms so the ire could be put out. Carbon Hill
Straitsville and Nesonville scattered over 10
miles of territory; hence the firing of the mines
were clearly incendiary. The syndicate officers

A Child starved 20 ..,nlh.

The old saying, that msfortunes never come
singly, is verified in the good city OF Hallo-
well, but unknown to the charitable people In
time to save the life OF small child of four
months from death by starvation.
In connection with this case we CLEANED the
following; Wilbur f. Heath, a sailor, left his
home In Hallowell several months ago on a
sea voyage and made, as he supposed. all
necessary arrangements with one OF the traders
in HaloWell to supply his family with goods
until bis return, when he would pay him. It
is said the trader got tired Il his agreement,
and the little family OF wife and three small
children were shut off from obtaining any
more supplies at this place. The mother, too
proud to beg or ask her nsighbors for food or
assistance, went without food for several days,
and her little family likewise, and before she
was aware of it her little babe of four months
was dead. DR. Lee saws it died from starva-
tion. The other two children suffered for the
want of food, etc, but as soon as the neighboFs
ascertained the facts, they we're supplied with
everything to make them comfortable and

Looking over the State by Congressional
districts the situation may be summed Hp thus:
Seven districts, the eighth, ninth, twelfth,
fourteenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth,
are reasonably sure to elect Republican repre-
sentatives. Seven other districts are just as
sure to elect Democrats, to wit: The fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth, thirteenth aud
fifteenth. This leaves seven districts to be
fought for, with the results in doubt nil the
eleventh, sixteenth, seventeenth and twenty
first. In the first district the fight between
Bon. Benjamin Butterworth (Rep.) and Mr..
John F. Follett (Dem.) is exceedingly hot and
close, and both sides claim the district. The
most interest here centres on the struggle be-
tween FrankHurd the rampageous free-trader,
and Jacob Romeis, a strong German Repubi-
can. and a leading railroad man. Mckinley,
IN the twentieth district, is being made the
object of strong Democratic onslaught, but
the prophets say he will Come out ahead.

laundering Operations on the ArOOstOoIE.
Last season on the Aroostook about 80 600 600
feet of logs were cut which added to several
drives hung up the previous season, would
make the total Aroostook ontDut this season In
the neighborhood of 100000 feet of spruce,
pine and cedar. ThisEQuantity passed through
the booms at Fredericton aud was disposed OF
to st. John parties, who are either operators
themselves or handle Aroostook lumber almost
exclusively. namely: Miller & Woodburn, z.
G.. Damn, HaYford & Stets0n, 8. T. King &
Sons, Wm. II. Murray, E. d. Jewett s. Co.,
and others. The logs came down in fine shape
this year and were all disposed OF, but the out
look for the coming season is very blue, as quo
tations are away down, and there rs really
nothing but force of habit sending some opera
tors to the woods. Unless thsre is a change
soon some of the mills will have to shut down
entirely next season. AS yet no move has
been made toward the woods in the Aroostook
section. The prospect is that not more than
40 000 900 feet of lumber at the outside will be-
cut there this year.
