upset the wagon, and Mr.. Blanchard,
who was very heavy man, was thrown
with great violence. The fall injured
the spine and produced paralysis from
the hips downward. He was conscious
of his condition and sent last messages
to the loved ones in California. One
who was with him says, "He met the
dread messenger as he always did
other earthly trials, like a man and
like Christian" He died on the day
following the accident. Mr.. Blanchard
was the son of Capt. Simon Blanchard
and his wife Jennie s., is the daughter
of Asa Sargent, also of Peacham. He
was genial and upright man and
highly respected. He leaves a family
of two sons and one daughter. The

Mr.. Greenbank does not appear to be

as though this place pleases him best
if the plan can be practically carried

between the"Creepers" and the "Acad

son, Houghton. Up to the fifth inning
the game was not specially interesting
standing Is for the Creepers to Is fol
the Academies. Then the fun began
and at the close of the ninth inning il
was tie. The Creepers scored one on
the tenth to the Academies none and
won the game which stood 18 to IL
Clifford pitched the first five innings
fassStae Greepers and then Smith took
his place, not base hit being made
off the latter. Of the Academies Hale
in the eighth inning struck out three
men in succession. 1t was a fine game
and if such playing is kept up through
the season large crowds will be on
hand to help the thing along.
The village nine hope to meet the
Dartmouth SOphomores Saturday on
the campus. 1t looks now as though a
game would be played.
No business of consequence was
done at the adjourned meeting of
the Athletic association Monday even
ing. AS soon as the amount needed to
buy uniforms, etc, for the ball club is
determined upon the public will prob
ably be "called on"
base ball pretty close this season. A
number of clubs have been formed
among the students and in the village.
The Academy "Appolos" are playing a
tournament to decide who are the best
two out of the eight and these two will
play tournament with selected men
from one of the village clubs.
The summer residents at Newport

him was hot from the bat of large

mined and well organized Anarchists. For
some time this band had inundated many
times their number of honest workingmen.
1t is not unlikely that this organization may
still be active, though some of its leaders are
under arrest. AS recently as Tuesday fell
low who was prominent as a leader in the
eight-hour movement of last May, fled from
the city because the police had learned that
he was an Anarchist. There are undoubted-
ly other such men still in Chicago; they are
probably supplied with money as the
Anarchists throughout the United States are
associated and have considerable resources;
and what is more important they are desper-
ate enough to dare to defeat justice in the
courts of Chicago.
Considering all the circumstances it is not
improbable that there may be truth in the
stories of attempts to corrupt or intimidate
the jury. But there ought to be no doubt
that the people of Chicago will see to it that
one of the most important trials of this de-
cade is conducted without fear or favor.

This is the fourth week of the trial of the
Chicago Anarchists, and the jury is not yet
made up A sensational story comes from
Chicago that the government is not certain
yet of the jurors already selected. Agents
of the Anarchists are said to be using money
in an attempt to fix the jury; and it is even
asserted that business man, who knew OF
the attempt and told the authorities, has fed
from the city to escape the vengeance of the
Anarchists. On Tuesday morning the door
of the court room was found decorated with
skull and cross bones accompanied by the
legend, Beware of the avenger of the secret
league" Parsons, himself, carries in the
court room large card bearing the word
Anarchist" printed in black letters. All
these things seem very much like the deeds
of loud mouthed braggarts. But unfortun-
ately the exploits of the Chicago Anarchists
show that they are liable to do even worse
things than they threaten. The grand jury

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.
Corr. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette

There is no Democratic party today There
is the usual conglomeration of conflicting ell
ements marshaled under that name-ele-
ments without common cause, leadership or
cohesion. There is the President, who be-
longs to none of them. Where he stands on
the tariff or other questions no one knows,
except that he, parrot-like, repeats his Mug
wump lesson on civil service reform, lwhlle
in all departments under him the spirit and
the substance of the law are openly ignored
or covertly betrayed. There are Vance and
Beck denouncing civil service reform, and
the President, too, and in the House that
cause has not an honest adherent There is
Randall for liberal appropriations, and Hol-
man for his usual penny ante economy OBJ
jecting to appropriations for every other dis
trict, and working like beaver to get appro-
priations for his own. There is Morrison for
free trade, backing up Carlisle in the same
direction, and Randall and his faithful fol-
lowing for protection.
Abroad in the land there are uncertainty,
unemployed and destitute labor, strikes and
riots, no improvement in Che business situa-
ton, and gloomy outlook for the future.
