next week, describing the march of hi.
expedition from Yambunga TO its desti-
nation on the Nyanza is story of suff-
ering and heroism which will appal
common men and stir the adventurous
spirits of explorers to new emulation
The dark continent has sustained its
reputation for grim inhospitality. and
for every few miles of progress Stanley's
escort has had to pay human life.
Wrestling with the jungle, plagued by
fever and pestilence and aesailed at al
most every step by murderous savages.
the expedition pressed on until it reached
the promised land of plenty and the wat
ers of the NyaDza. 1t is not difficult to
read between the lines OF SANKEY'S letter
and to see that the success which the
expedition met with in it's march in
spite of all the frightful obstacles sprang
from the splendid, indomItable spirit OF
its leader. Stanley's latest achievement
is likely to be remembered as the most
brilliant chapter Of his wonderful career.

that afternoon. The president was alone
in his private Office when the alleged
detective arrived, and when the door
was closed the stranger said that he
might as we'll show him (the president)
how the proposed robbery was to have
been committed. The astonished official
was confronted with long pistol at his
head, and bottle of -glycerine, and
the threat to blow his brains out and the
demolishing Of the Office II any outcry
was made. Dazed, Gen. Moffat was Or
dered to write his check for $21, 900 and
impelled by the pistol and explosive, he
went closely attended to the cashiers
desk and With over twenty clerks and
book keepers all about them the money
was counted out, the pair returned to
the presidents Office, when the stranger
politely took his leave with the money.
The booty was safely gotten away with

found. The mans overcoat with empty

Supt. Bennett of the Bennington and

yesterday. In reply to inquiries in re-

contracts have been awarded and about
$4,000 will be expended on the grounds
and buildings. Work has already be
gun, and the cottages, it is expected,
will be finished by June Is. The pro.
moters of the scheme propose to make
WoodfOrd a quiet summer resort, and
people can pass the summer and enjoy
the Injuries of the country with reason
able expense. WoOdford will also be
an attractive resort for excursion and
picnic parties, and II is not unlikely that
there will be an excursion from Rut-
land and surrounding points to Wood
ford during the summer. Woodford is
on the Bennington and Glastonbury
road four miles from Bennington. -Rut-

ago bought the Albany Cypress, has
purchased the Journal establishment in
that city, and the two papers will be
consolidated and will issue morning and
evening editions. The first editor to
make a name for the Journal was Thur
low Weed, although he was not in its
early days financially interested in the
establishment. The mother Of Mr..
Barnes is daughter of Mr.. Weed. The
purchase, therefore, brings the old Jour.
nal under the control of a descendant Of
the man who made it a power. Mr..

make his two newspapers models.

To Take Place Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, April 10, IL and 1a, 1889.
Though the previous Spring open
ings at Frear's Troy Bazaar have been
most elaborate in every respect, MIR.
Frear has made preparations to ercel
himself this spring of 1899. The rich
ness and elegance of the fabrics of all
descriptions, the most costly novelties
and notions for use and personal adorn-
ment from all points of the civilized
world that have been gathered together
for this seasons display and trade, defy
the powers of description. Imagination
falls short of grasping a conception of
their beauty and elegance, Suffice it to
say that from early in the season-and
even far back in the past year-exper-
fenced buyers have been ransacking the
foreign and domestic markets for their
choicest products with which to ell the
So departments of the Troy Bazaar.
These having now arrived and all pre-
parations in the way of renovating and
identifying the Troy Bazaar being COM
pleted, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, April 10, IL and IL, 1859, have
been designated as the days when visit
Ors may come and feast their eyes upon
this grand aggregation OF Oriental spien
dor, Partisan gorgeousness, in fact, the
most lavish richness of every art centre
of Europe and America draped and
clustered into bouquets and garlands of
beauty by expert and tasty trimmers.
You are cordially invited to visit the
Bazaar upon those days and witness the
grand display, examine and price the
goods and give an exhaustive inspection
to each department whether you wish
to purchase or not. The goods will be
readily shown you by courteous sales
men who will gladly do your bidding.
A word as to the value of this display
may not be amiss Over $500, 900 worth
of New Spring Goods are now beneath
the roof OF the Bazaar. This mammoth
stock being bought direct from first
hands for spot cash, is obtained at such
favorable prices as to enable Frear to
undersell all competitors. Surely the
largest possible returns for your money
may be obtained at
FREAR's TROY BAZAAR.
