 Successfu1 PrOrress

THE CARNIVAL AT BURLINGTON A Merry Round of Winter Sports tn Successful Progress BURLINGTON, Vt, Feb. 24.-The whole city has given up everything to entertain it's guests. The toboggan slides, the coast and | all other sources of amusement are open | free to three thousand.or more visitors now in the city. The early trains of the day brought hundreds of newcomers and it is expected that by tomorrow night the stran- gers will number over five thousand. The toboggan slides are open all day, and at night, when the sport is at it's height, are lighted with electric lights. The yacht
 races of yesterday and today were partici- pated in by six yachts and attracted great attention. The second promenade concert
 by the Sherman band at the rink this morn ing was largely attended. The principal
 event of the forenoon was the fancy skating contest at the Crystal rink in which M. and L. Rubenstein, of Montreal, and J. c. Ba- con of Somerville, Mass, took part. The
 first and second prizes were won by the Rubensteins.
 The afternoon exercises opened at 2 o'clock with general coasting and tobogganing hockey and horse races on the ice for the 2:35 class. Fancy skating and skating races followed at the ice rink Owing to the lack of wind the ice yacht races were post poned until Thursday afternoon. In the evening, occurred the procession of decorated traverses drawn by citizens in costumes through the principal streets. Along the line of march buildings were decorated and fireworks displayed.
 Result of Spitz Dogs Bite.
 CADILLAC, Mich, Feb. 24.-A few months ago the twelve year old son of George Hod- gen was bitten by a Spitz dog. The wound healed up and the boy suffered no unusual feeling. On Monday he exhibited signs of hydrophobia and early Tuesday morning the agony began. The physicians in attendance are unanimous in the opinion that it is a genuine case of hydrophobia.
 Prospects For the Wheat Crop.
 ROCHESTER, Feb. 24.-Five thousand cor respondents have reported respecting the wheat crop to the American Rural Home. The paper says: lowing to strong foreign competition and the decrease of exports far mers who have been growing spring wheat largely ought to consider very carefully the amount of wheat they put out. The winter wheat outlook is uncertain, alternate freezing, covering and uncovering being likely very much to injure the crop. The winter wheat crop coming out from under the blanket of snow is generally reported to be in fair con- dition, but at the same time it will be sub- jected to the freezing and thawing weather due at this season. Little grain is moving and there is no prospect of any large in- crease.

ERRHE COURT RECORD.
United States District Court-Judgo
 ShfAntan.

ohAtcu SLateB DIStf1ct C0urt-1uOSO | ShiPman. This court came ill yesterday morning at | 10 o'clock.
 The case of Gilbert Manson, captain of the schooner Henry Sutton, the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company was on trial. A year ago the Sutton came | into port with 9S0 tons of Elk Gordon coal consigned to the defendants. The channel | to the Consolidated roads shop dock was frozen over and Superintendent Waterbury | refused to receive the coal at any other place at that time. Captain Manson would not break channel to the dock, neither would Superintendent Waterbury, and the schooner was delayed several weeks. Captain Manson sues for about $1, 900 damage. The question it is on is whose business it was to make a channel through the ice and raises point of much interest to marine lawyers and every body interested in commerce. Prof. w. K. Townsend appeared for the plaintiffs and Professor Johnson T. Platt for the defend ants. Captain Curtiss F. Evarts, James Aus tin, Captain Manson, Superintendent W. A. Waterbury, Henry Sutton and w. E. Brad ley testified in the matter Arguments were begun shortly before adjournment.
 Court adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock.

The Police Jury of Assumption
Parish named a committee to report
upon the practicabllity OF digging
a well i'm the Court House yard for
the purpose of extiuguishing fires,
if any should occur.
The committee reported that, IN
their opinion, "weils could be built
to retain water during the lowest
stage of water in Bayou Lafourche,
but those wells should be construc
ted of brick aud be we'll cemented."
To resident of this town the
above seems to be singular logic.
What has Bayou Latourche to do
with IA we'll out in town.
What is the object in cementing
tue we!ls3 For25 years therehave
been wells in Thibodaux, built sim
ply of brick without mortar or ce
! ment, except in the arch over them.
J and they are always full OF water.
J in rainy or dry weather, let the Ba
you be high or low. Neither
drought nor low water has any eff
feet upon them !; they are always
full.
To cement IA well, unless it has a
solid bottom, and is filled from the
top, would be IA singular idea. IN
less it be done to prevent the water
from flowing into the reservoir.
