Springfield Republican The annual report of Brimfield's town affairs is in the printers hands. The expenses were as follows:
 Highways, $1,714; bridges, $340; snow paths, $5S9; schools, $1 ,991 school house repairs, $12s; paupers, $1, ,789; salaries of officers, $558; discount for taxes, $331; state aid, $164; interest, $66; public library, $27; miscellaneous, $7O5.
 The blizzard in March cost $575 of the $5S9 spent for clearing away snow. Two bridges over the Chicopee river were lost last spring, but the town succeeded m getting the locations given up, having in return to build new road south of the river that cost $2,5OO. About half mile of old road near Kings bridge was also given up and new one laid out, passing under the Boston & Albany railroad. By these changes four grade crossings will be abolished, and the town will pay out about what it would have cost to put the bridges on again Jonathan Emerson, who was burned out at East Brim6eld, Friday morning, had just sold his place and was to sell at auction all his household goods, 12 head of cattle, horse, etc. The fami- ly barely escaped with their lives, not be- ing able to dress themselves. The prop erty was insured for $3 ,O0O. This makes three places where farmers have lost both houses and barns this winter, more than before in 20 years. The selectmen think it an incendiaFy fire.

disturbed and amazed Dy what had hap pened as any civilian could possibly be, but they had no fears for the safety of the place, for the enemy's vessels could not possibly enter, nor even approach. the harbor. The Notifications on the heights mounted guns much heavier than those on the men-of-war, and shots from these fired from an elevation might sink even those 'sunder water devils" But, more than on the forts, they relied upon their admirable system of torpedoes and submarine batteries. With these in po- sition and ready for action, as they now were, it was impossible for an enemy's vessel, floating on the water, or under it, to enter the harbor without certain de- stTuction.
 Bulletins to this effect were posted in the city, and somewhat allayed the popu- lar anxiety, although many people who were fearful of what might happen next, left by the evening trains for the interior. That night the news of this extraordinary affair was cabled to Europe, and thence back to the United States, and all over the world. In many quarters the ac- count was disbelieved, and in no quarter was it thoroughly understood, for it must be borne in mind that the methods of operation employed by the crabs were nof'evident even to those on board the disabled vessels. But everywhere there was the greatest desire to know what would be done next.
 It was the general opinion that the two armored vessels were merely tenders to the submerged machines, which had done the mischief. Having fired no guns, nor taken any active part in the combat, there was every reason to believe that they were intended merely as bomb proof store ships for their formidable consorts. As these submerged vessels could not att tack town, nor reduce Notifications, but could exercise their power only against vessels afloat, it was plain enough to see that the object of the American syndicate was to blockade the port. That they would be able to maintain the blockade when the full power of the British navy should be brought to bear upon them was generally doubted, though 1t was conceded in the most wrathful circles that until the situation should be altered, it would be unwise to risk valu- able war vessels in encounters with the sea monsters now lying off the port.
 In the New York office of the syndi- cate there was great satisfaction. The news received was incorrect and imper- feet, but it was evident that, 80 far, everything had gone well.

THOSE using telephones are disturbed by reports that rentals for instruments are to be increased from 40 to 60 per cent, owing to increased expense, due to the blizzard of a year ago, proposition to put the wires un- der ground in the central part of the larger cities, and also the cost of erecting in New Haven building especially for the company. The officials, however, say that while im- provements are contemplated ''there will be no radical increase in rates on the present ser- vice such as has been noised about, and there is no occasion for subscribers lying awake nights thinking about it." It is quite certain that the telephone companies are not amass- ing wealth, but the monopolists who control the patents are, and there ought to be divis- ion between the two. It will be very hard to induce very general use of telephones at a greater cost than at present.

WE are told that fashion is going to decree that the knife may be used again to convey food to the mouth. That's all right if the same authority issues other decrees at the same time. The great trouble with the knife business is that the sort of folks who like to put the knife into their mouths are alike fond of thrusting it into butter and other dishes upon the table which are common to all, even to taking pleasure in poking over with-i it food that others have to eat. Such acts appear nasty to very particular folks, and the non- use of knives has been, go far as it went re- lief from it.

ls al1owed the useless mass of iron to drop to the bottom of the sea.
 s Every man on board the Scarabseus was wild with amazement and excite ment. Few could comprehend what had happened, but this very quickly be- came evident. So far as motive power was concerned, the Scarabseus was to- tally disabled. She could not direct her course, for her rudder was gone; her propeller was gone; her engines were useless, and she could do no more than float as wind or tide might move her. Moreover, there was jagged hole in her stern where the shaft had been, and through this the water was pouring into the vessel. As a man-of-war the Scara- beus was worthless.
 Orders now came fast from Repeller No. l, which had moved nearer to the scene of conflict. It was to be supposed that the disabled ship was properly fur. nished with bulkheads, SO that the water would penetrate no farther than the stern compartment, and that, therefore, she was in no danger of sinking. Crab A was ordered to make fast to the bow of the Scarab@rus, and tow her toward two men-of-war who were rapidly ap- preaching from the harbor.

THE Springfield Republican devotes the second of series of papers on ''the need of
 ballot reform over in the Nutmeg state, {" large ly to Stafford. There is lots of truth, we'll colored, however, in it's pen drawings of Staf-
 ford Springs election days doings, and fss article explains why we all want secret ballot laws. Some of the conclusions of the Repub- hcan are colored by political bias, but it's statements, SO far as they go, are not far out of the way. It is consoling that the Republi- can excepts Rockville and Windsor Looks in holding Stafford up as the most frightful ex- ample of political corruption, but probably staford's placeIs even further down the col umn, though we can hardly say that we are glad to say this, having some state as we'll as town pride. The Republican seems to delight in always presenting Stafford in the worst pos sible aspect, and here it gets good oppor- tunity.

A FOURTH TICKET will be put into the field at the Rhode Island state election to be held in April, by anti-submisaionists, made up- mainly of republicans who oppose again sub- rnitting the prohibition amendment to the popular vote. At the April election legislators will be chosen who will finally decide whether or not to send the matter to the people again. Many members of the legislature will be chos- en on that issue alone, without regard to pol itics.
 IT is said that special session of the ma sonic grand lodge of Connecticut will be held about April 1st, to see if arrangements cannot be made to let Hiram lodge of New Haven re- turn to the family of masonic lodges, and that sort of understanding has been arrived at by meditators between the two bodies Whatever the terms of settlement, the grand lodge may hereafter hold other subordinate lodges under no stronger subjection than the returning prodigal, and this fact is likely to be plain enough to prevent as great conces- sons on it's part as are suggested in some quarters.

TIE judiciary committee have reported to the legislature in favor of committing the death sentence of young Swift to life i'm prisonment. Swift killed his wife because she would not live with him, he being con- frmed drunkard, and doing nothing to sup port her, but rather accepting the fruits of her toll for his own sustenance and the feed ing of his bestial appetite. He shot her on
 the street as she was returning from her daily toll. The judiciary committee has in its make up two or more members who oppose hanging in any case. It is likely, however, that the legislature, instead of committing the sentence, as recommended, will refer the mat ter to the board of pardshs, witA power to act. P.
