Cutting Timber in August.

Experience has shown us that the best
time TO cui timber for posts, rails orstakes
is in August. The bark win then come
off readily. and the wood becomes harder
and endures longer than if cut at any
other season. Hickory never makes a
good post or stake, as it rots rapidly in
the ground or ON il, and if cut when the
bark adheres, will soon rot, or likely be
cut to pieces before it can rot by worms
But il cut in August very few, if any trees,
make a more durable rail for off the
ground. The bark drops off, and the
wood becomes 50 hard that it ~jingles"
when struck, while the worms do not st
tack it. Hickory rails, made from trees
cut in August and kept off the ground,
viii last for fifty years.
White oak makes a durable rail or post
cut at any season, but its durability Is
increased at least fifty per cent. by cut
ting in August. pin oak" is unfit for
posts, or for rails either, on or off the
ground, when the tree has died. and is
entirely unfit for posts, and almost unfit
for railsif cut when the sap is not flowing;
but rails made from 4 pin oak tree, cut in
August, will Last at least twenty years off
the ground. What is true of pin oak is
true of red elm. If cut in August il is as
durable as hickory or white oak, as long
as il is not set in or on the ground.
White elm is fit for firewood only, no
matter at what time it is cut, and this is
true of wild cherry also. With but few
exceptions the gain by cutting in August
is sufficient TO compensate for cutting at
that time. 1t is not necessary that the
rails or posts besplit out then. The trees
may be felled only, and the further work
be put of until cooler weather. But il is
better 10 split the trunks into rails or
posts for later use as soon rs feiled; the
wood will then season rapidly, and the
highest point Of durability is attained

Receive Offers Of Help from several
Priests-They viii Demand Rent for
the Church Property.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 6-At the regu-
lar monthly meeting of Archbishop Pur-
cells creditors yesterday, President Dwyer
made speech in his usual characteristic
and forcible style. He criticised severely
the published interview with Father Mueller,
the archbishop's secretary, in reference to
the letter Of the creditors to the pope,
adopted at the last meeting. He declared
that, according to the statements of Mr..
Mueller, there was a new Catholic
doctrine which permitted man to be as
dishonest as he pleased, steal all he could,
and t hen say he was sorry, and he would be
a big man in the church.
A resolution was read which called upon
the new trustees of the estate to compel the
payment of rent of the cathedral and the
cathedral residence and all other church
property built by the creditors money, and
if not paid, to take action to oust the oc-
cupants from the property. This was
adopted.
The secretary stated that he had received
five letters from Catholic clergymen living
in different parts of the country expressing
desire to help the creditors The letters
came in answer to the letter to the pope
published in the papers. He said he could
not reveal the names Of the priests or the
contents of their letters just now.

The Plumbers and Gas and Steam Fit
ters of the Country Proposing to
Unite.
PrTTsBURG, Penn, Sept. s.-A general
movement is on foot to combine the jour
neymen plumbers, who have national asso-
citation, and the gas and steam filters, who
mostly belong to the Knights of Labor, into
one national organi uton. The plumbers
and gas and steam filters of Chicago and
other western cities meet in Chicago to-day
to consider and arrange the terms of ANAL
gamation. Similar meetings will be held
in all the large cities. Action will be taken
on the matter by the assemblies here at
their next regular meetings. The negotia-
tions are already in progress in New York
and other eastern cities There are about
5000 men in each of the two trades inter
ested. The proposal is that either the
Plumbers union shall join the Knights of
IaborA AZ aAeay aIla form national dis
trict with the gas and steam filters, or that
the latter trade shall leave the Knights of
Labor and join the plumbers in forming an
independent national union The move ment
is simply part of the general movement
among trades unions to amalgamate all
kindred trades into one organization.

CHRISTIANS MASSACRED.
Terrible Slaughter ny Chinese Natives
In Two Provinces.

III Two PROVINCES
SHANGHAI, Sept 2-Advices from Ching
Too Foo, the chief city of the province Of
Sechuen, state that the natives of the east
ern part Of that province and those of
northern Cochin China have risen against
the Christians and are massacring them
and destroying their property. This active
persecution is attributed to the imprudence
Of the English and American missionaries.
In Cochin China alone 80 Christians
have been killed, their houses burned and
their farms destroyed In Sechuen general
massacre of Christians is reported to be in
progress, and they are killed wherever
found. 1t is said that whole vii
lagos occupied by Christians have been de-
stroyed and that all lands occupied by the
professors of that faith are being devastated.
The apostolic wears residence in
Sechuen has been burned to the ground.
Not piece of furniture, not book, nor a
paper, was saved. The foreign consuls
barely escaped from Sechuen with their
lives. No effort had been made up to the
latest reports to quell the disorder, and so
far as now known it continues unsurpassed.
BosToN, Sept. 2.-Inquiry at the mission
houses here shows that the victims of the
massacres must have been Roman Catholics.
The English Inland association have how
ever made advances in that direction, and

HARTFo RID. Conn.,, Sept s.-Thomas F.
Plunkett, who disappeared from this city
over week ago, is admitted by his friends
to be defaulter to a large amount, which
Is estimated ct from 100000 to $500
It is positively known that he carried away
with him $4,000 in cash besides large
amount of negotiable paper belonging to
the Hartford Silk company, CT which he
was president His horses and carriages
have been attached, together with other
property, in behalf of the company; but
this attachment may not hold good against
the demands of the creditors in general
There are many people here who think that
Plunkett was duped into unfortunate and
wildcat investments, although they say
these are in no way connected with Wall
street. Judge Carpenter has appointed
Charles E. Wilcox receiver of the company.
1t was supposed that the Union Manufac
turing company Of Manchester, of which
Plunkett was treasurer, was unaffected by
his dishonesty. However, the directors ap-
p Ui loA q ACSOiNCAS OudIAco AL. DcdCu
was appointed. 1t is announced that
Plunkett took with him $4,000 of the
Union company's paper. Mr.. Plunkett is
member of the well-known family bearing
his name, which for many years has lived
in Pittsfield and Adams, Mass. His father,
who died few years ago, leaving large
estate, was prominent politician in Massa
chusetts. Undoubtedly one cause of
Plunkett's dewpfall was the multiplication
of duties which he took upon himself in
business. These he attended to strictly for
several years; but his friends admit that of
late he neglected them, his strong social
tendencies and his love of club life drawing
him away from the close obligations of
business. Plunkett is about 4S years of
age and is unmarried. AS investigation
proceeds the matter looks worse and worse.
The Union company, making cotton
goods, is an old and successful concern with
capital of 100000 The Hartford Silk
company, Of which Plunkett was president,
is considered hopelessly wrecked. Some of
Plunkett's friends think he is dead; others
think he has fled

A Shoe Store Goes Under with Heavy

Boston, Sept. IA sensation is created
in the boot and shoe trade by the announce
ment of the failure of the firm Of Cloutman
& Bingham, boot and shoe dealers of Bos-
ton. 1t is not, at the present writing,
definitely known what their assets or liza
bilities will amount to, but it is probable
that the firm will owe in the neighborhood
of 100000. They made general assign
mtnt to Fran is B. Sears, cashier of the
Third National bank of Boston, for the
benefit of all creditors, and to protect the
property until the matter can be more fully
investigated The firm, which is a special
partnership, is composed of John F.
Cloutman of Pennington, N. H., and g. P.

on business in Boston for the last seven
years. They have done very large busi-
ness as boot and shoe manufacturers and
general iobbers, and are largely interested
in some factories, which, owing to various
causes. have not been profitable. No esti-
mate can at present be made of how much
the firm will be able to pay. Their credl-
