The Grant Monument.

The following interesting letter from Col.
Fred. d. Grant, which was read at the I'M
yelling last week, was inadvertently omitted
from the proceedings published in our last
issue.
ELBERON, n. Y, September Goth, 1886.
Dear Col. EmersOR-I regret that my af-
fairs have taken such turn that l will be
unable to goto Ironton on the 9th. l had
promised myself much pleasure in visiting
the spot where my father received his COM
mission as Il Brig. Gen'.
Ironton is well remembered by me. An
incident which occurred there, of no histOI =
ical value but amusing to my father, was the
pulling out the hairs of the name and tail of
Old Jack, (my fathers hOrse) as souvenirs
by the DIST His. This reduced Jack to the
appearance of mule.
| hope some future day to meet the Regi-
ment again, the noble men in whom l ard
my fathers family have always felt such an
interest.
Please present my warm regards to the
members of the DIST, and believe me always.
Your Friend,
d. +. GRANT.

A GLOOMY OUTLOOK.

George Washburn, president of Rob-
ert college, COnstantinople, writes the
New York Independent on the Eastern
question. After a careful resume of
between Bulgaria and Servia, in which
he sympathizes largely with the Bull
garians, he says that many statesmen
of Europe believe that all this will end
with great European war in the
spring. They think, Mr.. Washburn
says, that nothing can longer postpone
an appeal to arms between Austria
and Russia.
With the publication of this letter
came Geographic dispatches from Lon
don of the glOOmiest nature. At home
and abroad there is uncertainty, over
hung with the shadows of threatening
disasters. Hostilities in the East seem
merely tided over for the winter. Rus
STA and Austria are arming to the
teeth at every possible point. Krupp
has supplied more guns in the last
month than almost in year previous.
Turkey is still massing troops on the
Macedonian frontier. Greece shows
no signs of disbanding her armies. AL
together trouble seems to be gathering
about the crowned heads of Europe for
the year 1886.

Hadley made every reasonable effort
to escape without trouble. He left the
house first, turning toward the south
where his home was. Hayes was the
fourth to leave and, had he acted &C
cordingly he would have turned to the
north to go home and every step taken
by the two men would have carried
them farther from each other.
Fourth, the evidence showed, and
there was no evidence whatever to
contradict it, that Hayes called Hadley
back, struck him and fired at him
first; that Hadley made every reason
able effort to get away before he drew
his revolver and returned the fire with
the result that is so we'll known.
Fifth, his conduct after the event
was greatly in favor of the respondent.
He, and he alone it seemed to us dur
ing the hearing, appeared to realize
what it all meant. The testimony of
every witness he heard. When he was
called to the stand, however, there was
no effort to cOrrObOrate the testimony
of those who were in his favor. In
some respects his story differed from
that of his friends but these very diff
ferences i'm non essentials seemed TO
strengthen his testimony.
Hadley is not our idea of a hero. A
man is known by the company he
keeps and his company has not always
been of the choicest if the stories told
of his various experiences are cor
rect. He will probably continue car
rying his revolver when there ought to
be law enough to compel him to go un-
armed or to return to the country
where it is considered fashionable and
is approved. But be this as it may,
there was no evidence on which he
could be held. Judge Smith was com
PEELED to make himself "the final court"
unless more evidence was Forthcoming.
Had he held him it would have been
assuming responsibility and keeping
a man under arrest for something or
somebody that might possibly appear
later, but not. for anything that ap-
peared in the evidence produced.
Judge Smiths summing up of the case
was mastery effort and he did what
the evidence compelled him to do
liberated man guilty of no crime, in
the eyes of the law, who, when attack
ed, simply defended himself.

CHANGE IN THE ADVERTISER.

The long-sought change in the pro-
prietorship of the Boston Advertiser
has been brought about at last by a
majority of the stock being bought,
as the Journal puts it, by "men of
wealth who are largely interested in
manufactures and firm supporters of
the republican party" which, as a mat
ter of course in the eyes of the Jour
nal, twill restore the paper to its
former place in jOurnalism"-whic
means, boiled down, that the Adver-
tiser will be a republican and prOtec-
tive tariff organ. This may be what
the protective tariff men and strictly
partisan republicans of Massachusetts,
desire, but we shall watch with deep
interest to see if the change improves
the Advertiser as newspaper, or
makes it in any sense a broader, more
useful educator of the peOple-a sphere
in which it has been distinguished, es-
pecially for the past year or two.
Henry Cabot Lodge is one of the
new directors of the Advertiser, but
it's managing editor is not yet named.
George H. Ellis, the indefatigable and
untiring publisher of both Advertiser
and Record, resigns his position.

Edmunds, ssOpponent.v

Boss Smith of Vermont is working a
literary and art bureau as a part of his
campaign against Edmunds. An ideal
lied wood-cut of the Green Mountain
railroad swallower is making it's way
through the western papers under the
headline of "Edmunds's Opponent"
The lying in the accompanying re-
marks is even more ideal than the pic
ture. 1t begins: "The opposition to
Senator Edmunds's reelection is daily
gaining ground. Vermont is r0ck-rib-
bed in its republicanism, and the fact
that Edmunds refused to assist in
Blaine's canvass makes his opponents
very bitter against him" Then fol-
lows ii biography of Smith from which
two nuggets of truth may be extracted;
that che is the richest man in Yer
mont" and that his friends care
thoroughly imbued with desire to
further the interests of their chief."-

THE BROOKS LIBRARY.

Reference has been made heretofore
to the fact that George j. Brooks OF
BrattlebOrO proposes to erect and pre-
sent to that town new library build
ing. The Phenix of last week gives
an illustration of the building which is
to be completed the present year. 1t
is beautiful in perspective, is to be
snbstantia in material and will be ex-
ceedingly valuable in contents and
will play an important part in the ed
ucation of the rising generation of that
fine town. The basement of the build
ing for seven feet above the ground is
of granite, the superstructure of press
ed brick, with LongmeadOw brown
stone trimmings, and the interior is to
be in every way the best adapted to it's
purposes. The structure will be an
ornament to the town and lasting
memorial to the munifcence of the
donor.

Shocking Accident at Burlington.


A coaching party of 20 people met
with a sad mishap Friday evening
about nine O'clock. 1t was a family
party at South Burlington. A large
coach was chartered. The ladies and
children occupied the interior of the
coach and the gentlemen sat outside.
The night was exceedingly dark, but
instead of lighting the coach lamps
one of the gentlemen who sat in front
carried a lantern. And to enliven the
interior of the coach, Mrs. Alexander
| Miller carried a kerosene hand lantern
in her lap. The party was a merry
one. Near the Baxter farm the coach
ran off bank and was overturned.
The coach lay upOn one side and its
occupants were literally imprisoned
| The accident naturally caused great
CONSERVATION and confusion, but their
intensity was greatly increased by the
igniting of the oil which spilled from
the lantern carried by Mrs. Miller. The
clothing of the ladies and children
took fire and the flames rapidly spread
to the trimmings of the coach. Mean
while the unavailing efforts of the un-
fortunate prisoners to escape from the
burning vehicle rendered the scene
terrible one. The screams of the pan
ic-stricken party within added to the
wild uncertainty of those without.
The fire was eXtiaguished by hard
work and the women and children
were rescued, but not before Mrs Mil
Ter had been SO badly burned that the
skin fell from the entire left side of
her body. 1t seems that when the
coach was overturned she fell upon
that side with the lamp in under her,
which fact undoubtedly prevented the
more rapid spread of the flames and,
consequently, more serious injury to
the other occupants. The rest of the
party who occupied the interior were
badly bruised and suffered from the
broken glass, and several in addition
were slightly burned, but Mrs. Miller
suffered the only serious injury. Ply
sicians were summoned soon as posi-
bile and found Mrs. Miller suffering I'M
told agony. They dressed her burns,
and she was taken home. The unfor-
tunate woman was alive Sunday and
the physicians thought it possible that
she might recover.
