EVERGREEN CEMETERY is being put in
pretty good shape this year, but the COM
mite on public improvement is DESTROYS
that individuals having lots shall do some
thing with their property and thus add
to the general appearance. The cedar
hedges around some lots have been neg
lected and look ragged while having
grown TO such height as to obstruct the
view. They should be trimmed. and
their entire removal would be still better.
The committee hopes that many improve
ments will be made before Decoration
Day.

DIR. Robertson never waivers from any

When time is up not bottle of medicine

AT the republican convention held in
this city on Saturday last, Charles Lu-
ling, John Schuette, G. F. Smalley, H. G..
kress and Charles Sweeting were chosen
delegates to the Madison state conven-
ton. The delegates were instructed to
vote for II. G. Kress as delegate to the
national convention.
A resolution instructing the delegates
to support delegates to the national con-
vention favorable to Rusk was voted
down, only six being in favor of it. A
vote on presidential preferences resulted
as follows: Rusk, 10; Gresham, s; Lin
coin, Z; Blaine, 5; Sherman, 2; Fairchild, l.
The vote on the resolution committing
the delegates to Rusk was in the usual
form of reclamation and the chair was
unable to decide between the ayes and
nays. He then directed that all favorable
to Rusk should rise. When the six stood
up, two rather hesitatingly, Hersch
Smalley who was present as a spectator,
said in a stage whisper, "a little more
yeast" The uprising for Rusk was GER
tainly in need of some stimulant.

Amesbury, Mass, Suffers by Fire to the
Extent of a Million Dollars.

AMEsBURY, Mass, April 6.-Almost the
entire business portion Of this city was
wiped out by fire last night. The total
loss is estimated at S1,0OO,OOO. The fire
started about four O'Clock yesterday aft

Carriage Company, and, famed by a
northwest wind, the flames quickly COM
municated to other buildings. Word had
O be sent by train to Haverhill, Lawrence
and Newburyport, asking aid, which
did not come until after dark.
By that time eight factories
were in flames, along with some twenty
dwellings and numerous other stores and
buildings. A cold rain prevailed at the
time, which undoubtedly averted the de-
struction of the entire town. At one
O'Clock this morning the fire, after raging
for nine hours, was gotten under control
Among the principal factories destroyed
were the carriage works of the Babcock
company, j. H. Clark & Co., Walker,
Shiels & Co., G. C. Perry & Co., Lambert,
Hollander G. Co., the Hume Carriage Com
pany's works, and others. A hundred
people are rendered homeless and thou
sand workmen are thrown out of employ
ment. The house Of John G. Whittier, the

HOPES OF SETTLEMENT.

Rumors, Said to be Well Authenticated,
That the 80" Strike is on the Eve of
Settlement.
CHICAGO, April 6.-There was a well-au-
thenticated rumor current last night that
the Burlington company and its striking
engineers and firemen had reached a
mutually satisfactory settlement, and the
strike would soon be officially declared
off. 1t was stated that the company
would reinstate all its old engineers aud
firemen as rapidly as possible.
General Passenger Agent Morton was
asked about the truthfulness Of this rumor
but he claimed to be entirely ignorant of
any settlement of the strike. ''Of course
said Mr.. Morton, ''there are a great many
of our old men that we would be very glad
to take back. We could probably give
about three hundr ed of them positions to-
day, but we must take care of the men
who came to our assistance when the old
men struck"
Mr.. Morton admitted, however, that no
order had been issued by the company
which precluded the striking engineers
and fremen from being re-employed in
case they desired to come back.
Chairman Hoge of the strikers commit
tee was asked about the truthfulness of
the report that the men were all to sur
render and be reinstated.
81 wish with all my heart,' said he,
''that it was true. That would settle che
whole matter at once, and there would be
nothing further to fight about.''
Chief Sargent, of the Firemen's organi
cation, smiled knowingly and jocularly
remarked "Come and see me on Mon
day, and then perhaps we will all know
more about it. Unless some satisfactory
arrangement is made, the men will stay
out and fight for a year if necessary, and
they may have to do that yet: but am
hopeful that the whole strike question
will be amicably settled within a very
short time".
A number of striking engineers, congre-
gated at the headquarters, stated that
they were perfectly willing to go back to
work, and they believed that the whole
question would be settled within week
or two. 1t is expected that the directors
of the Burlington company will hold a
special meeting at Boston within n day or
two, and that the local officials will be
fully authorized to settle with all the en-
gineers and firemen who desire to return
to work.
