SUICIDE IN BRlDPORT.

Our Bridport correspondent writes
"Albert Dukett, aged IS, son of John
Dukett, committed suicide at his home
last Thursday by shooting himself with
32-calibre revolver. The cause for the
act is not known. He had been working
for E. d. Wilcox for some time, until
the day before, when he finished his
time and went over the lake to Crown
Point, apparently in good spirits. He
returned home Thursday in time for din
ner, which he ate with calmness. After
dinner he made bargain with one of his
sisters to go a little way from the house
and get some things which he had left.
Mrs. Dukett, thinking the load too heavy
for the little one, volunteered to go with
her. After they had gone it is supposed
he wrote the note that was afterward
found, bidding them all good bye; after
which he got a pillow from an adjoining
room and placed it on the lounge where
he lay when found. Mrs. Dukett had
got near the house when she heard the
report of the revolver. DR.. Townsend
was Immediately summoned, but the
shot was fatal. The ball entered the
head just below and little back of the
left temple. The victim lay in an uncon-
sious condition about an hour, when life
became extinct. The funeral was at
tended from the house on Saturday.
The sympathy of the community is ex-
tended to the afflicted parents"

FREE Wool.

The finance committee of the United
States Senate sent to that body with their
tariff bill an elaborate report, drawn up
by Senator Aldrch of Rhode Island. 1t
is an able document and contains much
food for thought for all parties. We
print elsewhere in full that portion of it
dealing with the branch of industry most
important to our readers, and hope to find
space for yet further extracts.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS.

The session of Congress came to an end
on Saturday. 1t had lasted 320 days, and
was the longest on record by Is days.
An immense number of bills were intro
duced in both branches, but the feature
of the session was the tariff debate.
Those who took prominent part in it were
generally bright, well-informed men, and
some of the speeches made are likely to
become historic.

The advance reported IN butter last
week was followed by good business, and
all the fine fresh stock arriving has been read
lily disposed of at full quotations. Prices have
run along at 90 to 27c per pound for fine fresh
Northern and Western creamery in round
lots. Fine fresh dairy lots are in light
ceipt and the season will soon be closed. Sc
lections from Vermont and New York are
worth "a to 25c, but for lots as they generally
run p to 23c is all that can be safely named.
There are no indications of a break in the
bean market. The demand is still equal to
the supply and full prices are obtained tor
lots as they arrive. Small northern pea are
worth S2.75 to $3.50, and very scarce.
Eggs have ruled at from 80 to 2lc.
Potatoes have been arriving more freely and
extreme prices are not so easily obtained.
Houlton hebrons and rose command 60 to CSC,
and other Eastern 30 to 6Oc per bushel. North
ern stock rule at 40 to soc. sweets range from
sl5O to 1925 per barrel as to quality.
Apples continue in liberal receipt with no
Improvement in prices. For best shipping
grades, including baldwins, hubbardstons,
pippins and porters, Sl.25 per barrel is a full
price for carloads. Gravensteins range from
81 to SO per barrel, as to quality. Prices
abroad continue low and shipments are not
remunerative.
For hay there has been good demand,aud
choice Eastern and Northern command sis to
$40 per ton, with some New York extra in
large bales at 500. Fair to good rule at $14 TO
$l7 per ton and some go at $19
The poultry trade Is beginning to show some

fined at their places of business during

were soldiers under General Robert +.
Lee, may have an opportunity TO view
the model.
Colonel Snowden Andrews, the distin-
guished artillery officer who was badly

toI yesterday. He was very much
pleased with the artistic production in
the model An artist wss yesterday at
work replacing the broken left leg OF the
rider, and the left front foot and hind leg
Of the horse, which were broken while
shipping.
Governor Lee said yesterday that so
far rs tho criticism about the sword be-
ing too far back, it should be remember
ed that when an officer is on foot his
sword is looped mp, but when he Is
mounted the sword is unloOped and al
ways hangs back rs shown IN the model.

Shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon the sky became partially obscured
from view by dark and threatening
clouds which had been brewing for some
time and another rsln-stoTm seemed i'm

minus the rain.
As the clouds passed over :he city they
seemed TO break and drift apart and sent
forth very little rain But the wind blew
a perfect gale. In fact, II seemed abont

in real tornado form. and the peace and
comfort OF our homes was, 10 oil appear
anccs, a matter Of uncertainty.
The trees were swayed to and fro
and many of them were shorn of a part
AZ least OF their foliage and some ot the
branches were cut away. Signs were
swung to and fro and most portable
articles at which the wind had full sway
were made 10 change their resting-places.
Tie wind blew not from any one direc-
ton but from all four parts Of the COM
pass. with a strong incline from the west.
Pedcstn9nism was entirely at disad-
vantage. Not only was II difficult TO
maintain steady course. but the cloud
Of sand and dust so filed the eyes that
sight was at a decided discount. Nearly
all the travellers who could conveniently
do 20 took refuge IN stores or other
sheltered places, and most Of those who
were less fortunate went bare headed,
bat not through preference.
About 20 there was q terrific peal Of
thunder, and fash of lightning that
brightly illumined the entire sky. This
was followed hy q long, distant sound Of
rumbling thunder, and the storm soor
ended. At one time the cloud OF dust
was go dense that large buildings block
distant became almost entirely invisible.
