sheds north as far as Bank street. The
losses foot up about 100000 and are full
ly covered by insurance. The depot was
threatened for time. The flames spread
with great rapidity. Mr.. Joel Linsley,
manager of the Baldwin Mfg. Co., was
among those who had narrow escapes.
He went into the office to get some pa
pers and attempted to unlock one OF the
safes; but before he could do so he found
himself surrounded by flames, and was
put to the alternative of jumping through
window at the risk of personal injury
or of rushing through flames if he made
his exit by the door. He chose the latter
alternative and left the safes and papers
untouched.

OUR DUMB ANIMALS,

Montana coyotes are pretty smart, if re- port be true. It is said that they drive cattle onto the Montana Union railroad just ahead of train, and when the locomotive has done it's deadly work the coyotes send up thank full howl and proceed to dine.
 A mountain lion trotting along between the high banks of snow on the line of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, in Colo rado, recently, was overtaken and thrown high into the air. The animal landed on it's feet and ran quickly away, apparently unin- jured.
 A Clarence, Mo-, man missed one of his cows and after looking in vain for her gave her up as stolen. A month later, while pull ing straw from a stack, his hand grasped the end of cows tail Following it up he found his lost COW at the other end of it contentedly chewing her cud.
 Jim Waldron, a farmer of Arcadia, Ills, has long observed with regret that wildcat famine was threatened the country. He has, therefore, devoted himself to the industry of raising wildcats on large scale, and pos sesses at present a cage forty feet long filled with these innocent and playful little crea- lures.
 While a herd of cattle were being driven through piece of woodland in Maine three bears were encountered sitting in the road way as if waiting for them. Without a mo ments hesitation the oxen in the herd charged ahead and drove the bears before tbam until they were lost in the forest. One OK pursued bear for nearly mile and tossed the animal with his horns a number ut times.

THE EMPLOYER FIRST.

The Hartford Courant complains because the contract for building the new railroad station in that city has been awarded by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company without giving Hartford builders an opportunity to bid for the work. "In the proposed change" says the Courant, Hartford is to be put to very large expense in remedying an evil that the rail road has created. We have shouldered the burden cheerfully and have consented to a change of plan that was desired by the rail roads after the scheme seemed to have been definitely settled in better way. A new depot is an incident of the work, though the city does not pay for it, and that Hartford builders and Hartford workmen should not have even the chance to compete for the opportunity of building it is surprising, to say the least"
 It is not yet certain that Hartford work ingmen will not have an opportunity to assist in building Hartford's handsome new station. It is natural to suppose that many of Hartford's unemployed will find work on or about the new station. The Courant's anxiety is not about the working men of Hartford. That is side issue. It is Hartford's wealthy contractors that the Courant speaks for. It is only fair, how, ever, that Hartford builders should have had an opportunity to bid for the work but the Courant's assumed interest in the laboring man is, like that of nearly all its Republican contemporaries, piece of hy pocrisy and sham. The workingman has never found champion in the Republican state press except at election time, whe, the tariff bugbear is held up to them as thu panacea for all evils.

Gov LoUNsBURY was not at the banquet of the Republican league club at New Ha- ven last night. Mayor Morgan G. Bulke- ley was there and when he rose to speak he was greeted with cheers. "We are all interested in the choice of leader for the coming campaign" he said, "but thanks man." The genial mayor evidently had in mind the national convention. The state convention he expects to take care of himself. But as popular as he is he could never be elected governor of this state by the people. The people invariably select a Democrat governor and Republican legis- lature disfranohise them by seating man wh6 U not Chossn governor.
