FATAL ACCIDENT.-On the after
noon of last Thursday, the I'd inst,
Mr.. Gilbert Barris, residing FIVE or
six miles west of Linden, met with
an accident that resulted in death
almost instantly. He was engaged
in erecting a shed for hay, and was
on a scaffold some fifteen feet from
the ground in the act of lifting up a
piece of timber being handed by
another party engaged in helping
him, when the board on which he
was standing, and which was APP
parently q trife too short for the
purpose it was used, slipped off at
one end, letting him down. Just
under him was a fence against
which were leaning some old fence
boards about four feet long standing
on end. Mr.. Barris fell on these
boards, the end of one that was
splintered down to about three
inches wide, penetrating his side, in
the vicinity of his abdomen, about
ten inches. Upon being released by
the person assisting him in his work,
the board was broken off close to
the body. He lived only five or ten
minutes and spoke but once or
twice. Mr.. Barris was one of the
most prominent and successful far
mers in that section, and his taking
off in such a painful manner is
cause for great regret throughout
this section.

The MausOleum at newborn.
WHERE THE BODIES OF THE VANDERBILT
FAMILY WILL REST.

The Vanderbilt mausoleum in the Moravian
Cemetery at New Dorp, S. , in which the
bodies of VIM. II. Vanderbilt and the other
members of the family will be laid at rest.
after the completion of the building, is about
Ave hundred yards west of the church, on
rising ground selected some time ago BY Mr.
Vanderbilt. Ground was broken for it last
December, and the first stone work was be-
gun early last spring. 1t is now about half
completed. and will require several m onths of
active work to finish it. The exterior walls
are of heavy blocks of Quincy granite, and are
eight feet thick the foundation walls extending
fifteen feet beneath the surface of the ground.
The front, also of granite, is Gothic in style,
with three handsome columns supporting the
entablsture. Within this palac. of the dead,
there are eight sets of vaults, four along the
east walls and four along the West. Each
vault is divided into nine compartments, in
which the collins are placed and the fronts
sealed with tablets. Thus twenty-five COM
partmen,s are arranged. In the centre
of the msusoleum is 4 chapellike room,
lighted from the dome through heavy
plates of glass ten inches thick and guard d
by iron bars sunk into the granite blocks.
Tablets are placed in the walls, to be inscribed
with memorials of the dead who rest there
ured reredos, will be arranged for the burial
services. Through the air shafts from the
surmounting "lanterns" or open towers, this
chapel will be carefully ventilated.
When completed, the interior of the chapel
will bear in carved Indiana limestone, or
marble, 4 design over the tomb of Commo-
dere Vanderbilt representing the Creation.
Another design will be Paradise. Adam and
Eve will be represented in the Garden of
Eden, with shrubbery. budding plants and
flowers. The next sculpture will represent
Moses, handing down the Ten Command
ments. Still another will be David with 4
harp, Solomon and the Queen of Sheba
form another design in tine marble. The
next carving to be placed within the walls
will represent the Virgin Mary and the In
FAINT Jesus. The seventh carving will be the
CruciHxion and the last will be the Ascen-
sion. The present design which will not be
altered, so far as yet known, provides that
the tomb will be covered with earth, graded
and planted. The surrounding rounds will
be handsomely laid out. The to tai cost will
reach about S240, 900 Tribune.

The promises of great reduction in the
expenditures Of the government, made by
democrats during the presidential cam
pagn, have all been forgotten in the first
wear of this democratic administration
The scramble for larger expenditures has
begun. and is endorsed by the President
and his Cabinet. "Jeffersonian simplici-
ty" is phrase now never heard by the
hordes Of plumber seekers. Every MEM
Der of the Cabinet is trying to get his arm
into the treasury as far as he can. Each
one asks for more than his republican pre-
decessor had. Together they demand for
next year, a hundred and fifty millions
more than the last Congress voted to sup
port the government this year, and each
and every one OF them comes with his re-
quest heartily endorsed by the President.
In word, these reformers and teachers
of economy, who have been for quarter
of a century arraigning the republicans
for their extravaganza, now that they are
to have the spending of the money. want
three dollars for every two that the repub-
licans had.

December Skies.

The most remarkable object in the early
evening at present is the gltteriDg Planet OF
Love, which glows in the southwestern sky
from sunset until after half-past seven. She
is now returning westward. getting nearer the
sun every night, she is really approaching the
earth. so that less and less of the lluminat tied
portion of her surface is presented to us, and
finally, just before her conjunction with the
sun, she shows only a thin thread of ligh,
like the crescent moon. 1t will take two
months to make the backward journey, so
that she will remain the queen of the western
sky until February.
Saturn is the only other planet that is visi-
BILE in the evening sky this month. He rise,
soon after sunset and 10 visible from then
until sunrise throughout the month. This
planet is now in the best possible position fol
observation, being in exact opposition, only
just past perihelon, and at its highest north
ern declination, and having his rings open to
their widest extent. 1t will be thirty years
before he is so favorably situated again. and
astronomers are taking advantage of the
present opportunity to study his surface
Being twice as far away as Jupiter, it is not
easy to define his belts and spots, and the
most powerful telescopes are needed to get q
satisfactory idea of his surface markings
But the planet and his rings, and his atten'
dant satellites, can easily be made out through
a small glass.
Jupiter is fret among the morning stars
rising soon after o'clock. He also is in q
good position for observation. being in quad
nature, and his atmosphere 10 scanned closely
every clear night by the scientists who are
trying to find out more about it.
Those distant suns that we call the fixed
stars are the grandest sight Of the month, and
of all the winter months. Great Orion is up
and after the Bull at sunset, and not far be-
hind comes glorious Sirius, the Koh-i-nool

Is due to our defective marine laws sud
the remedy seems to be in the hands OF
Congress. That body should reconstruct
the marine laws of the United States and
render it possible for Am erican capital to
construct American ships and run them af-
ter they are built. One D. NJ. Richardson
gives an exhaustive review of this impor-
tant subject in the Detroit Tribune OF a re-
cent date. The remedies he suggests are the
establishment by the government OF fre-
quent mail transportation In American
ships to the leading commercial centres OF
the world. thereby furnishing reliable, regu-
lar and frequent and cheap transportation
for merchandise to the leading markets of
the world. He advises the expenditure
of S1OO, 600, 900 in American ships during
the next u or Is years. He also suggests
the appointment of United States COM
mission of eight reliable and competent
men to have the supervision of the con-
struction of all ships built by the aid of
the government, by the payment OF ton
mage bounty, so far as is necessary to see
that the conditions imposed by the gov
eminent are complied with. The COM
mission would have the supervision of
steamboat inspection. and the appointment
of all officers connected with this branch
of the service, and report annually through
the president and recommend such legis-
lation as may be necessary to promote
the highest and best interests OF the ma
rine service. Many will lean to the opin-
ion that this plan is revival OF the old
subsidy idea, but Mr.. Richardson
declares that the word subsidy has
come to mean to the people of the
United States, the payment by the govern
ment of money, and receiving no return
therfor, and that il this country is ever to
have merchant marine, and is ever to
have access to the world for its surplus
products, the subsidy scare must be aban-
doned. He believes that if 100000, 900
was expended in mail transportation in
American ships, the service would become
nearly self-supporting in twelve or fifteen
years time. His ideas are certainly wor-
thy of consideration, as are any plans or
suggestions looking to the settlement of
problem which has vexed the American
people for many years.

American Shipping.

Much has been written and much has
been spoken on the decline of American
shipping, but still the vexed problem
seems about as far from solution as ever.
Here in Maine we have suffered from the
decadence of shipping interests, and any
plans or suggestions having practical
bearing upon the revival OF business
which directly affects the welfare of every
man is of paramount Importance. 1t is
true that our shipping laws have been re-
vised and that many OF the duties and re-
strictions which hindered the growth OF
the business have been modified or re-
moved, but still much has yet to be done
to place American shipping interests upon
a sound and growing basis. With the
opening of the lnterOceanic Canal via.
the Nicaragua route, the markets OF
South America, Mexico, Central America.
Oceanica and Asia. with their vast popu-
lations. would be brought within thirty
days sail by steam of New York. and
with the markets OF those countries open
to receive our surplus products the labor
of this country may receive continuous
employment at remuneratlve wages. That
is it may with the revival of foreign COM
merce oy American ships. In 1856 the
value of our foreign commerce was S64l,-
5000 of which rs per cent was carried
in American vessels. In 1883 our exports
and imports were 81 ,547 ,020, SIG, of which
16 per cent was transported in American
vessels and "a per cent. in foreign vessels.
During the last fiscal year the value of
our foreign commerce was 81 1888, 300, 900,
of which only 14.61 per cent. was carried
in American ships. Only four of 555
steamships crossing the Atlantic in 1882
carried the American flag. and but two
American steamships running to foreign
ports carry the United States mail. or
the $3.50, 200, 900 paid annually for freight
on our foreign commerce and passenger
traffic all but l4.6l per cent. is paid to
foreign ship owners. With but two ex-
ceptions foreign ships carry the United
States mail and receive payment therefor.
The United States, once second only to
Great Britain in ocean tonnage, has al
most ceased to be recognized as marine
power. This deplorable state Of affairs

Remember that Allcock's are the only gen.
uine Porous Plasters. They act quickly and
with certainty, and can be worn for weeks
without causing pain or Inconvenience. They
are invaluable in cases of spinal weakness,
kidney and pulmonary difficulties, malaria,
ague cake, liver complaint, dyspepsia, strains,
rheumatism, sciatica and nervous debility.
Other plasters blister and infame the skin so
that the pores are closed and often cause
serious injury. Do not risk health and
waste time and money by buying inferior ar
ticles made TO sell on the reputation of the
genuine. When purchasing plasters ask for
and see that you get Allcock's Porous Plas-
