He Talks of the Immense Refinery He
 is to Build.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-Mr. Spreckels said yesterday: ''It is true that have pur- chased property, and that will build big sugar refinery here will proceed without delay to make my numerous contracts and do everything possible to quickly build the refinery. The property I have bought is the Merrick estate, which has an area of between nine and ten acres. It comprises three large wharves about 80 feet wide and 45O feet long, The property is on .he line Of the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Reading and Lehigh Valley roads. It has frontage of 1,500 feet in Reed street. and the price paid was $500, 900 cash.n
 When Mir. Spreckles was asked whether 1t was true that he intended to invest s5, ,O00, ,0O0 in the refinery, he modestly replied: '1t will be big enterprise. The figures given are correct. After a while, when we have gone further, we can say more"
 He added that the refinery would be in operation in about a year, and excused him. self from saying anything moro on the subject.

THE PRESS BENEFIT FUND.


 The benefit fund which is in the hands of the Connecticut Press association, is growing steadily. Comparatively little is known by the general public about the fund, which is for the purpose of assisting newspaper workers who are in trouble and need financial aid. It is the only fund of the kind in the country and is so managed as to command the confidence and support of people who desire to contribute of their means for charitable projects of this kind. The fund is managed by three trustees who are members of the associatiatiOn and fin every town where there is any consider able mum Der of newspaper men there is a representative of the fund to whom application for relief can be made, and through whom assistance can be speedily provided by the trustees in case the call is a genuine and worthy one. Although the enterprise was undertaken but short time ago considerable money has been subscribed. More, however is needed to fully carry out the designs of it's founders and make it the power for good it car be made. Newspaper men do not as rule become supplicants for charity, but trouble sometimes comes to them as it does to other people. It is highly desirable that the fund should reach a size that would enable the trustees to meet the or dinafy calls that would be made upon it without drawing upon the principal. It is an object to which anyone so disposed could give cheerfully, and we take pleas ure in calling general attention to it.

He Pays the Penalty for Murdering .
 Companion.
 WHKEsBARRE, Pa., April 4.-Adam Volka- witch was executed at II 21 a. m yesterday. Sixteen minutes later he was pronounced dead. The murderer refused to wear new black suit prepared for him. He walked to the gallows with pair of overalls, a flannel shirt and coat or hat
 He displayed great nerve power, however, and chung to the Polish priests garments to the last. When the priest bade the prisoner to walk up the steps to the gallows he did so with a steady step He then kissed the cruci- fix, and Sheriff Search pulled the rope that sent him into eternity.
 His last words were, ''Jesus Christ, who died for me, have mercy on my soul" On the 14th of last August Volkavitch murdered Stanislaus Broski, fellow countryman whom he accused of conspiracy to elope with Volkavitch's pretty wife. The murderer would have probably escaped the gallows were it not for the fact that after shooting his victim he robbed him and then escaped from the state.

Boston Custom House Salaries,

BOSTON, April A paper is in circulation at the Boston custom house, indorsed by heads of departments, as we'll as by suhordi- mates, and is speedily gaining signatures. It provides for the release of the government from all obligations in regard to the payment of June salaries, except such as are fixed by law, and which must be paid in full The entire amount of the shortage will not be accounted for in this way, the June salaries It has, therefore, been decided to slightly re- duce the force, taking 0 few men from each department. The list will soon be forwarded to Washington for the secretary's approval.

 TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 4.-The head quarters of the National Service Pension as- sociation has been established here, and G. R. Stor;nant, of Princeton, Ind, appointed secretary, and c. A. Power, of this city, cor responding secretary. An appeal has been prepared and is being sent out to all old sol diers to unite in demanding at the next ses- sion of congress the passage of service pen sion law. The veterans are urged not to neutralize the effect of the effort by factious opposition to any particular bill, but to unite in all parties in favor ot service pensions. The terms of a bill to be sent to congress will be fixed at the next meeting of the National association, to be held at Columbus, O. Con- tributions are called for to defray expenses. Indiana veterans lave held a state conven- tion and appointed a committee to present the measure to the party conventions.

POatOmCe Frands

TORONTO, April 4-The United States gov ernment recently intimated to Postmaster General Mcclellan that American seedsmen were sending their parcel business by express to Canadian postoffices, from which points they were mailed at much lower rate for delivery to customers in the United States, thus defrauding the United States postal de partment of large sum of money. A clause covering this contingency was inserted in the international arrangement, and the authorl- ties have taken active measures to have the fraud discontinued.

THE MILLS BILL.
Indignation and Jubilancy Over the Prsss
 Reports.

Rcport>.
 WASHINGTON, April 4-There is general indignation among members of the ways and means committee, especially Democratic members, respecting the premature publica- ton of the majority report on the Mills tariff bill. The minority members feel jubilant because their report had better publication throughout the country than did the docu- Inent so carefully prepared and guarded by Chairman Mills The majority report reached the printers office through the private secre- tary of Speaker Carlisle, who is also corre- spondent of The Louisville Courie Journal
 This gentleman's explanation of his action in allowing its publication is that be was in formed that The Ne~ York Herald had secured a copy of the report and that he, in consequence of this, and after consultation with Speaker Carlisle, released his copy, which had been sent to his paper by mail several days before. Some members of the committee say the matter will doubtless lead to an investigation.

Reducing the Dividend.

BOSTON, April 4-The board of directors of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail road at n meeting here voted to reduce the rate of dividend paid by the company from 2 to per cent. per annuu, and quarterly dividend of 1115 per cent. was accordingly de clared, payable May 15. This action, says one of the directors, was not taken through the necessities of the company, but is con sidered U wise and conservative measure in view of the rate war and strikes, now so prominent feature of western railroads

BRIGHT SIDE OF WOLCOTT
As Seen by One Who Has Been Int

As Seen by One Who Has Been There.
 A correspondent from Wolcott writes the following: Several stories are going the rounds of the papers speaking of Vol colt of being the birthplace and early home of A. Bronson Alcott, lately deceased, one writer stating that none but hunters and tourists visit the place; another that now the only inhabitants of the town are hawks and crows and the rustic poet, Johnson by name Now, had these writers looked at the enrolment of scholars called for by the state they would have found 13O names enrolled. If they had looked up the grand list they would have found records of thousands of dollars belonging to inhab- itants living at the present time in Vol cott If man would take up his position at any of the roads which lead from Vol colt to Waterbury, when the travelling ad- mits, he would see team after team loaded with wood bound for the great manufac- tories of the City of Brass. He would also see private teams, comparing favorably with those from other country towns. One farmer alone raised and marketed 1, 1000 bushels of potatoes last year. Others marketed as many more. Wolcott also holds its peoples fair annually in October, where good shares of vegetables, cattle and ladies' industries are placed on exhibi- tion. There is also silver plating estab- lishment doing good businesss. Situated on the hill at the center is a cosy little church, done off in modern style, where people meet from week to week flor wor- ship and prayer. It is true the strength of the town has been depleted by death and removals, yet more than a hundred votes are cast at each election, and if the wise writer had taken pains he would have found honorable mems names enrolled on the books of the House of Representatives at Hartford. The Senate has also been represented by this town, notwithstanding the writer's various statements of the state of society in WOlcOtt
