toreston'S Troubles.

FoaEsToS, May 1.-THE farmers have
smiling faces, this morning, as We had fine
rains last week, and everything IS booming
But in the brightest day there is always 8
cloud to be seen. The merchants are now
threatening to bring suit for damage against
the corn planter. They say the cracking
of the corn growing is frightening the horses
of their customers, so that they are afraid
to come to market. There is always some
trouble. The only way out Of the difficulty
is to learn their customers the art of pull
ing wool over the animals ears.
We had two very able sermons yesterda!
from the Rev. T. J. Rookie, of your town
Trouble again, as it is month before he
will visit US again. Young Frierson is do
ing well. POP.

contract was for about s2,000,00O. The
work has been carried on by electric light,

Engineer vankorR Held For Setting
 Fire 50 the Rochester Factory in
 Which Twenty-Five Men Lost Their
 Lives.
 ROCHESTER, Nov. 14.-John Vankorf, en- gineer at the Steam Guage and Lantern works, was arrested by Chief Detective Hay den and Superintendent Mccormack last night on suspicion of setting fire to the works Friday night. Mir. Vankorf is 45 years old, and has wife and six children. Some years ago he was a brakeman on the Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia road. and was sus- pected of having set fire to loaded freight cars. Later he was engineer at @ building | in Broadway, in this city. Three times while he was in charge the building WAS on fire, ,and | on the third occasion it was burned down. Before this Vankorf worked in Morse's sash | and blind factory as engineer. This place was burned twice while he was employed in it. When MT. Gonld's grocery store at Trow- | bridge street and West avenue was burned | Vankorff was the first to discover the fire | and pulled out lot of waste stuff saturated | with oil At another time he was taken to
 8 hospital, having fallen in 8 fit, cutting l himself on the head, and while he was there 1 several complaints were made that things had mysteriously disappeared. Chief Hay
 den informed the hospital people that unless
 they kept a sharp lookoutIthey would have a
 fire in the building. A few days after fire
 was discovered in barrel standing in 8 closet Vankorf was then discharged from l the hospital He was arrested seven or eight years ago for stealing watch. When, ,there- fore, Chief Hayden learned that Vsnkorff
 was ths engineer at the Latern works he placed him under surveillance. He has been
 watched closely ever since Saturday last
 Vankorff denies the crime.

An Infatuated C0anGryman Arrested For Ills Persistent AttentI0ns-MIsa AnGersOn Intercedes For HIm I'm
 Vain.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Jsmes N. Dougher- ty, an awkward looking countryman from the vicinity of Salem, NY, was arrested to- day for annoying Miss Mary Anderson by persistent attentions. Dougherty, ,who seems to be weak minded, says he first saw and fell in love with the actress six years ago at El- mira, where she played in "The Lady of Lyons" He tried to obtain an interview but failed and followed her to New York and then to England, sending her notes and bou- quets innumerable, but being always debar- red from an interview as he believed by riv- als who conspired against him. A big revol- yer found on his person was doubtless in- tended for use on these jealous rivals. He believed that Miss Anderson was as much in love with him as he with her, but was pre- vented from seeing him.
 Miss Anderson, who remembered having seen Dougherty bu5 once during his six years' adoration, went to Inspector Byrnes' office after the arrest and talked kindly with Dougherty, telling him that he was suffering from delusion and that she had never en. couraged nor observed his attentions. Dough erty seemed dazed by this statement and said some one just like her must have deceiv- ed him, for he was sure he had received bows and smiles from her or her double. He promised never to follow her any more and Miss Anderson begged Inspector Byrnes to to hold Dougherty until an examination can be made as to his sanitv

The New Haven Players VIII Report for Duty TO-Day-Notes In General.

The New Haven Players VIII Report
 for Duty TO-Day-NOtes in General.
 The New Haven polo players are expect-
 ed to report for duty to-day, although some
 may not get here until tomorrow. It has
 not yet been decided who will be captain. It
 may be Valiant or it may be one of the new
 men, possibly Lations. There is no doubt,
 whoever acts in that capacity, that he will be
 far better than the one who was captain last
 year. New Haven wants, and will have, 8
 man of quick perception, one who sees every point and who will not stand still like a dummy and let the captain of every other team run over him.
 The first game of the season will be played next Monday night at the Polo rink. At that time the rink will probably be crowded. The new players will receive a warm welcome. Bridgeport will have her team here, and as both teams have been strengthened there will be close and exciting game.
 Stumeke and O'Mslley are the new referees | and they understand their business. It ii safe to say that there will be little fault found | with their work.
 ! By tonight all of the Meriden team will | have reported The first game there will be ! played on Tuesday night against the New l Ravens. Cunning or Mul Smith will play | center it has not been decided which yet | Both will be tried in that position before the Il regular team is selected.
