midnight before medical help could be
obtained, and then it was too late to be
of use. Mr. Fowler had been in poor
health for some time, and had often
threatened suicide.
Edward Snow, freight brakeman,
had narrow escape at Rutland the other
morning. lie was on top of car which
was wet and he slipped as the train sud
denly started, falling across the rails be-
tween two of the cars. Fortunately the
train got "stalled," and before it started
again railroad man named Welsh who
was near pulled Snow out from his per-

There was Il slight cut on his right cheek

The division of Rutland cannot, it is
said. affect the tenure of office of the
Il justices of the peace chosen in Septen-
Der, and there is nothing to prevent their
serving two years. Those justices must
serve. however. by the terms of the West
Rutland bill in the towns where they are
legal voters after the division takes effect
in March. West Rutland will then have
five justices, Proctor two and Rutland
eight. The governor can, on petition,
appoint seven more for Rutland, while
the other towns can also petition for sew
eral additional justices.
The legislature has just settled lively
neighborhood row at Rutland by passing
a bill which declares that Il fence more
than six feet high designed to shut the
light from Il neighbor's windows, is Il
public nuisance. Two rich neighbors on
Cottage street, one of the best streets
in the town, quarreled, used unseemly
language, and finally one of them ran Il
high board fence on the division line so
close to the others windows that the lat
ter could not open some of his blinds.
The row was thus advertised to all the
toWnSfolk, who crowded the street to
view the "crcus." The big fence must
now come down, however, and Cottage
street can return to its normal dignity.
\ delegation of the inhabitants of the
newly-created town of Proctor turned
out Friday night last to receive Governor
Proctor, on his return by the late train
from Montpelier. On his arrival they
escorted him from the depot to the piazza
in front of the store, where the governor
addressed 200 people. saying in substance
that. although there had been differences
of opinion between them and their Rut-
land friends, they should now, as good
neighbors, forget this and cherish only
good will and the best of feelings for
their opponents. These words were re-
ceivcd with hearty applause by all pres
ent. The cornet band rendered some
music and cannon was fired off by sew
pral enthusiastic young men. which clos

Especial to the EPrTAPn.l
 ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., April a. Major Patterson, agent of the Navajo Indians, returned from Port Defiance to- day. He reports that the recent trouble between the Indians and white settlers was caused by the former squatting on land outside the reservation, and refusing to vacate when asked to by the whites who had asked for land for homestead The Indians think that because the whites can take up land they can do SO The early appearance of troops on the ground at the commencement of trouble prevented bloodshed, and it is possible that the matter can be arranged without trouble. To make assurance sure, two companies of United States troops from Fort Lewis will camp in the valley al summer.
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-04-22

The Pacific Coast railroads have begun to discover that low freights and fares pay. The only curious thing about the matter is that these roads have been so much longer in making the discovery than similar institutions in other coun- tries. Whenever the lowering of rail road fares to a popular price has been tried, it has proved successful. In Bel gium, since the government took posses sion of the roads, fares have been low. cred three times, the present third class fare being half cent mile. After each reduction, there was temporary falling of in income, followed by large and permanent increase. It was the same way with postage. The revenue of the postoffice has fallen off for time after each reduction, but the deficiency has in- variably been more than made up, after a short time. It is to be hoped that the Pacific roads have at last realized the fact that it costs little or no more to haul a car full of passengers, than an empty coach.

Victims of the Flames.

VIENNA, April 7I.-The condition oi affairs at Stary(') among the people who lost their houses by the great fire, is pitt able. Most of the victims are without food or means and rendered desperate by the thought of starvation. Thus far sixty.eight bodies, charred so as to make recognition difficult, have been taken from the ruins. There have been twenty deaths in the fields since Sunday of inva- lids, young and old, who were taken out of town to escape the flames.

NEW YORK, April 2I.-At 7:Io a. m., Inspectors Byrnes and Sheers arrived al the car stables and began to arrange their men. Five hundred were on the ground. The first car started out with q driver and conductor in charge of foui policemen. From this time cars started out on five minutes headway. By nine o'clock twenty cars were running from the City Hall to Harlem. All is quieI around the depot at Sixty-Fifh Street At Io:55 a. m, the strike was not ended There was no conference this morning and no agreement was reached.
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-04-22

The misguided men who are encourag. ing these strikes and boycotts seem to forget that they are injuring the laboring man more than the capitalist. Capital is timid and will not seek investment in times of danger and violence. More over capital can afford to wait, whereas labor cannot. Owners of factories can shut down their works and keep them closed if necessary. The real sufferers in these cases are the working men who are misled by demogogues who hope to gain by the misfortunes of their dupes. As the New York Times very appropria. tely says: "There are millions of dollars in the country awaiting investment and there are thousands of persons out oi employment. A painful lack of conf dence among the holders of capital pre- vails in nearly all parts ofthe nation, and it is in great degree owing to the coward, ice of the authorities whose duty it is to enforce the laws of the land. Intelligent and sober minded citizens are beginning to ask how much longer this state of af fairs is to last"

More Violence

ST. LOUIS, April 2I.-Last night the Calro Short Line freight train was made up at the railroad yards in East S.. Louis and had proceeded on its way out of the city, beyond the line of seHtries, when it was boarded by a number of strikers, who seized one of the brakemen, dragged him to the ground, aod administered a severe beating, before the military guard could respond to his cries for help. The brakeman is in a critical condition.

The anti-Ghinese League at Carson Nevada, is charged with having origi hated several incendiary fires. Other charges of a similar character come from other places. There is nothing remark, able about this. It is the natural out. growth of the boycotting system. Wher these men find that the boycott has nc effect, they resort to other measures O force and terrorism, among which tho burning of an obnoxious persons prop erty is one of the most popular.

Spunky sparks.

WASHINGTON, April aI.--Gene ral Sparks has stated that he would not certify any land patents until he was satisfied that they were for legal and honest entries, and as he claims that n,nety-6ve per cent of the claims filed in the department are fraudulent, the revo- cation of his order by Secretary Lamar will not bring any relief to the settlers. His board of examiners are now inspect ing and deciding upon 400 cases a month, and these are all that he will certify to the President. He says that unless Congress chooses to increase his force of special agents and examiners he cannot get along any faster than he is now doing, and adds that if the Western Congressmen really want the settlers to get putents for their lands the best way for them is to appropriate money for the payment of two or three hundred special examiners. Secretary Lamar has lost his patience with Sparks, as before stated in these dispatches, and if the Commis- sioner does not resign he will be sum- marily dismissed. The order of Secre. tary Lamar was peremptory, and is not qualified at all. It was equivalent to in structions to the Commissioner to sign the land patents unless they were proven
 to be not free from fraud. There will be lively time in the Interior Department yet before the question is settled. The
