1T BELIEVES THAT
The highest right of property is the
right to freely exchange it for other
property. Any system of laws which
denies or restricts this right for the
purpose of subscribing private or class
interests, reaffirms in effect the prin-
riples of slavery. Whatever facilitates
or cheapens-the interchange of com,
modities or services-good roads, til
locomotive, the steamship or the telc-
graph-prOmotes abundance, and con-
siquentIy the aggregate of human
comfort and happiness. Whatever on
the other hand restricts or makes cost
ly the exchange of commodities or
services-be it in the nature of bad
roads, high mountains, tempestuoua
oceans, swamps, deserts, or restrictive
Iaws-tends to create scarcity, and
consequently the aggregate human

IOnuOu otbuuhIus
VIENNA, July Buildings has reached
Vienna to-day of another fatal Alpine
accident in the same neighborhood where,
barely month ago, the marquis Faiia-
yicini and NJ. Crommelin, of the Dutch
Legation, met with tragic end. This time
the victim was lady, Fraulein Pauline Won
Sonklar of Innsbruck, who in company
of four gentlemen and another lady, had
set out from Heiligenblut, in the Gross
glockner district, on a mountain ascent,
intending to view from distance the
scene of the recent catastrophe. To
reach the point whence the Grossglockner
might be seen, it would be neces-
sary for the excursionists to climb a
rugged mountain path for about two
hours, and they would then descend into
wild ravine, through which flows a
torrent. Emerging from this part OF the
road, they would follow narrow and
dangerous mountain track, bordered ON one
side by steep precipice, and upon which
experienced mountalneers alone should
venture. It was at the most perilous por-
ton of this track that the unfortunate
lady lost her footing, and before assist
ance could be afforded, was precipitated
from the dizzy hight and dashed on the
rocks below. Death was instantaneous,
and the body. when recovered, WIS found
to be frightfully mangled.

Special Correspondence OF Gnzette and Journal.
Dover, Aug. 4.--The office Of Truitt Il
Holmes has received a now coat of paint.
The hack drivers held n meeting last
night aud decided not 10 run hacks from
this town to the camp ON Sunday next.
The cause Of this action grew out of the
refusal of the managers of the camp TO
allow the hacks 10 go upon the grounds
with their passengers. The managers
agreed, however, TO let them take one
load each within the enclosure, but no
more. The hackmen look upon the move
ment az arbitrary on the part of the man
ayers, and say il they cannot go all the
time they will not go at all. During the
week the hacks are allowed to go where
they please.
While Thomas Kinnaman was digging
at Kirken hill, just ont of town, tho en-
bankment fell in and caught him, break
ing his left leg in two places below the
knee. He was conveyed To his home and
medical aid summoned and the fractured
limb set. Mr.. Kinnaman had been ap-
pointed policeman only n short time ago.
Dover, Aug. G. Last night while Mr..
Stanley Wharton was at camp his farm
house took fire and burned down. The
FIRE originated, it is thought, from de
| fectiye ilue. The house was large one
and considered to be one of the best in
the neighborhood. Tho farm belongs to
Mr.. Charles Babbatt and is about three
miles from Dover, on the road to Hazletts-
vile. There were farm hands asleep in the
dwelling who were awakened by the fire,
and succeeded in saving O small portion
of the furniture which was ON the first
floor. There is an insurance on the
| building.
| Whileitis the general beliefth the fire
| originated from defective fiue, the SCR
wants say there was but little il any fire in
the stove before they retired to bed. None
of the outbuildings were destroyed. II
was fortunate for Mr.. Babbatt, as the fire
occurred that it took place last night.
To-day one of his policies of insurance,
amounting to ~, 500, would have expired.
DovEn, Aug. S.-The fire which de
Btroyed Mr.. Stanly Wharton's house Oh
last Friday, calls to mind that there is 9
strange fatality in his immediate family
and in each case the members of the
family were at camp. On the 9Th Of
| August, 1854, Bolitha Wharton, who il
the father of Stanly Wharton, had hii
barn and grain destroyed by Are; il
1856, ON August 9Th, ono of his SONS wal
run over and killed by wagon and 1886
on August 9th, Stanly's house was de
stroyed by fire while he and his famil,
were ut camp.
There were between. 5000 and 6,00t
persons at Camden camp to-day. Tn
woods and circle were living mass o
human souls. The hackmen must hav
rescinded their resolution of the othe
evening, for they were out early thi
morning and have been running all da
TO and from camp. The politicians, a
usual, were on hand, and some of ther
put in good ticks. The heavy rain G
yesterday made it delightful on tn
grounds. In the Afternoon Dover wa
nearly deserted, there hardly bein
enough people left to have put out n fin
