HARTFORD, Conu., Jan. IA bout 150 to.
bacco growers, representing the New Eug and
States, met in convention in this city today to
"further protest against the recent decision of
the Secretary of the Treasury whereby wrap
per leaf tobacco is admitted at the rate of 50
cents pr pound, thus evadingthe intent and
spirit of the law. Several addresses have be en-
made against the admission of Sumatra tobac-
co at the minimum duty. A resolution was
passed appealing TO the Secretary of he Treas
ury to give further consideration to the mat
ter aud so frame his decision that the law may
protect our dcmss ic agricultural industries as
the spirit of the law Intended At 3 O'Clock
1t was resolved to appoint commit tee TO visit
Washington in the interests of the tobacco
growers.
Officers were chosen as follows President,
E. M Phelps of Windsor. CT. vice president,
Siss G. Hubbard of Hatfield, Mass; secretary

urer, j. Ill. Mefriman OF SouthiDgton, CT. A
vote was passed calling GU Representatives in
Congress to endeavor to secure the repeal of
that part of the law of 1858 which fixes the
taxes On cigars at So per 1000. An executive
committee was appointed consisting of three

TANGERANG. October a. 1885,
Dear brother Hnbert-You ask for news Of
the great catastrophe at Java. Here are au-

Cured at the eruption OF the volcano Kraka-
tan.
On Sunday, the Goth OF last August, at about
five o'clock in the afternoon, terrible reports
such as could be produced only by an engine of
war and which exceeded in volume all posi-
BILE conception filed the air during the entire
night aud Monday morning the 9th The force
of the reports was SO great that was lifted
like feather liz my bed by the intensity Of
this appalling music and the displacement of
the air in abrupt and Continued vibration.
The escape of subterranean vapors from the
mouth OF the crater Krakatan, as well as the
passage of incandescent lava, SO enlarged the

Concluding Paper.l

Concluding Paper.1
To the Editor Of the Press:
In a former paper briefly sketched some
of the disadvantages that the people of the
valley of the Aroostook and of the upper St.
John have to contend with in consequence
of the circuitous and long road by which we
reach Bangor, Portland and Boston, and
other centres of trade and travel. In this /
continue the same subject. As the passen-
ger trains are now arranged we leave
Presque Isle for the south at 2 80 p. M, and
arrive at Bangor, a distance of 260 miles, at
6:35 the next morning. Fare to Bangor,
S7.O5. Fare to Vanceboro, $40. Distance
to Vanceboro from Presque Isle 146 miles.
The fare TO Bangor is a trhe over 7-10 cts.
per mile. From Presque Isle to Vanceboro
a little over 2 $40 cents per mile. With a
road from Presque Isle to Mattawamkeag,
so miles, and 5S miles from there TO Bangor,
1873 miles at the same rate per mile, the fare
would be 1878 instead of $7.05, saving to
us every time we go to Bangor and beyond
of So 80 in money, and more than seven
hours in tin e, and we avoid the dsagreea-
BILE necessity OF being out in the cars all
night going and returning. 1 have no
means of knowing how many passengers 60
through from Presque Isle to Bangor in any
given time, but for the purpose of making
ali estimate which will be approximately
correct, / will assume that the passenger
| cars make 312 trips each way in a year, and
that they carry ten through passengers each
way on an average per trip, which will be
3l20 passengers in all, which will amount TO
| S1O.296, which is paid now, more than
| would be paid if we had road direct to
Mattawamkeag. But this is not all; this is
| only the passenger tariff.
The additional freight tariff is far great
err burden on the industry and prosperity of
the Aroostook valley than is the passenger
tariff. There lies before me number of
| freight bills for transportation from Boston,
Portland. Bangor, and other places to this
| depot. One, on which is charged $1.05
| from Woodstock, and 81 80 from Boston to
| Woodstock. Another, on which is charged
| 81 81 to Woodstock, and $1.0S from Wood
stock to Presque Isle. Another, 63 cents to
Woodstock, 81 cents from Woodstock here.
| Another 81 05 from Woodstock TO Presaue
Isle, and $l.65 from Boston to Woodstock.
The distance from Woodstock to Presque
Isle Is Ss miles, and from Boston to Wood
stock is 423 miles, 1t will be seen al once
that the freight from Boston to Woodstock,
in proportion TO the distance, bears no eom-
parison with what is charged from Wood
stock to Presque Isle. In one case 81. .0S Is
charged for Transporting it SO miles, and
! S1.s0 for 423 miles, Between Woodstock

The following recently appeared in the LIE,

The following recently appeared in the Lew
isten Journal:
'There is much excitement concerning the
arrest of John Gilman, an elderly and well to
do farmer of Anson, on the charge of being ac-
cessorg with Hiscock and Davis in the larceny
of sixty sheep from Mr. Joseph Smith of An
son. The others were arrested twoor three
weeks ago Hiscock is under bonds for trial,
but Davis turns States evidence and impicat-
ed Mr. Gilman, whose standing in this vicinity
causes additional interest in the CASE"
A report was current, among the gossips Of
this town, of which there are not few, that
Mr. Gilman knew more about those stolen
sheep than he would like to have known. The
correspondent of the Journal, who is rather too
jealous in parSuit of items of interest, over
hearing the gossip of some farmers, without
stopping to enquire into the truth of the ssser-
ton, sent the above item, much to the disgust
of all good people here, who never doubted the
honesty of MIR. John Gilman. True, Davis did
turn States evidence and implicated Hiscock,
but as Hiscoek could prove an alibi, the case
has been thrown out of court. and az last ac-
counts it had appeared that the missing .heep
we're never lost, and the charge OF theft was
made by mistake In calculation.

Persons Killed and Many Wounded
Fire and Pa fc add HI orror 10 the scene.
VIENNA, Jan. 1,-Foll,wing are the partieu-
lars OF the riot Of Sunday night in the Johan-
mis- Kirche, in the Favoriten Shavpiatz, the
workingmen's quarter of the city. Such a
seaadal has not been witnessed in Vienna
since the burning of the Ring Theatre. A
Jesuit priest, named Aamerle, was preaching
mission sermon to an enormous audience, the
majority Of whom were women and children.
Sudderly Gro Rds OF excited workmen broke
violently into the church, shouting, "Down
with the Jesuitsl" smashing doors, windows
and chairs, tearing the robes OF a Jesuit priest
named Leon, throwing paving stones at FIR,
Hamerle, and damaging the al ar aud images.
After a severe handling the priests managed to
escape and concealed themselves in the sacrs-
ty. Meanwhile, the wax ttpers on the alter,
falling about, caused a b aze This was soon
extinguished, but most fearful panic eDsued.
Women and children were squeezed, crushed
and tsamped upon. Three dead bodies have
been identified. Seven persons we're severely
and probably fatally injured. For some time
past great ill-feeiilg has existed between the
workingmen and the Jesnits. The working
men complain that Er. Hamerle, who is very
eloquent, breaches between and 10 o'clock in
the evening" and that all the women and chill
uren of the neighborhood flock to hear him in-
stead ofstaying at home cooking their suppers.
This was the immediate cause of the scandal.
FIR. Hamerle's theme last night was the "Story
of Pocr Christians in the midst of the Wilder
ness of Socialists
A later despatch says: simultaneously with
the attack of the mob on the chRrcb, thous-
ands of socialist prcclamaiions were disiribut-
ed throughout the city. The cbancel was lit
and "a
terror was destroyed. The floor, which was
hera and there marked with blood stains, is
sill covered with Socialist proclamations, torn
prs.er books, hats, bonnets, shoes and clothing.
Daring the havoc two women gave birth to
schiidren. Archbishop Ganglhauer ordered
the profaned church t. be again conse Grated.
dozen arrests have been made and great OK
cit5ment prevails.
