PROHIBITIONS DEFEAT.

There Is little profit in beating a stuffed figure and less pleasure in kick ing a man when he is down, but there is some comfort in noticing the general pleasure expressed on all hands at the downfall of the prohibition movement in Connecticut. It speaks we'll for the genuine temperance sentiment of the state that there should be naught but satisfaction expressed for the discom- fiture of theory that was prolific only of mischief and injury.
 We have noticed that the prohibition ists have been very busy, and more par ticularly so since Monday, in denounc- ing the "venality of the press.'' Of course this was to be expected from zealots whose tongues run riot more freely than rum under prohibition but as they seem to enjoy that kind of argu- ment and the press does'nt mind it of course there is no harm done. It may not be out of place, however, to remark that in opposing prohibition the press of Connecticut has been guided by its ap- preciation of what is best for the moral and material interests of the state and her people. Guided by it's observations of the failure of prohibition wher- ever it has been tried and of the injury it has wrought to real tenn perance work the press has sought to save Connecticut from it's evils and to keep it in the line where it has advanced through the efforts of those who have given practical effort to the cause of temperance, morality and good order. And it is noticeable that even before the smoke of Mondays battle has cleared away the "venal press" of the state has begun to discuss the best measures, from a practical standpoint, for the promotion of temperance and the regulation of the saloon evil. The DEMOCRAT has views of its own in regard to these measures which it has not the space il this article to discuss, bu it does not think it is wis, to push the restriction of the saloon to point beyond the sentiment of the ma jority, and it does believe that certain men, even among those who are no prohibitionists, are disposed to push re strictive measures beyond the dange limit. Measures that are oppressiv rather than regulative are likely t. work injury to the cause of temperanc and good order.
 It would be we'll if some of those wh
 are occupying themselves with the sa loon problem would read a lesson iron the downfall of prohibition.

The Acc unconstltutionaI.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, March l5.-In a
lengthy opinion given to the meat in
spector of the Santa Fe company relative
to the new law regulating the sale Of
meats and providing for the inspection Of
cattle and hogs prior to Strengthening,
which practically prohibits the bringing
into New Mexico of dressed beef and pork,
Acting Solicitor General Terry says that
the act is unconstitutional and void SO far
as it effects shipment into the territory for
the purposes of sale and public use of ar
ticles of inter state commerce. He holds
that dressed beef and pork are commodi-
ties Of this character and that the law for
bids an attempt under cover of police
power to keep out all foreign dressed or
uncured meats. Large quantities OF
these meats are shipped to city butchers,
hotel and railroad eating houses.

son of Jacob Barley, a well to do far
mer. Eight years ago the boy was bitten
by a dog which later manifested signs of
madness and was killed Nothing serious
was thought of the boys injury and the
wound soon healed up. Six weeks ago
young Barley came home from school
and complained of being unwell. Hydro
phobla in a most violent form soon de-
veloped. The attending physicians looked
upon the rabic poison as a self limiting
infection and set about to bring the case
to an active period of poison. Large
doses of aconite were given to blunt the
sensuary nerves of the throat, hydrate of
chloral to obviate restlessness aud produce
sleep. and s~alicytate Of soda to counter
act the rabic poison If it depend "a upon
ferment Tor its action. The paruxysms
grew less frequent and it is now two weeks
since the patient showed any signs of one.
The physicians think complete recovery
certain.

A TripIe

LITTLE Rock, March 15.-Three ne
groes, Dan Jones. Anderson Mitchell and
Willie Green, the latter a preacher, were
executed at Arkadelphia to day for the
murder of Arthur Horton (colored) Sept
81. 1887. The execution took place in
the courtyard. Tie sheriff granted them
an opportunity to make a final statement.
Jones delivered himself at some length of
a disconnected, wandering ~harangue, but
Mitchell and Green maintained stolid
silence. Jones confessed in a measure his
guilt, but wanted it known that he did not
strike the fatal blow and intimated by
manner and ~gesticulations hat the others
did so. The trap went down at 1910 and
the necks of all were broken.
Oh the fatal night seven negroes en-
tered Horizons room their faces covered
with -four, wrapped a quilt about his head
and torcibly carried him $50 yards into
the woods where he was given $50 lashes.
Then as he promised to leave the state he
WIS left sitting on a log and the crowd
apparently dispersed. 1t was noticed,
however that the three men hanged
to-day fingered behind the other four
and we're finally separated from them.
The mex day Horizons body was found
~liteless with his skull, collar bone and two
ribs crushed in.

WASHINGTON, March l5.-Chief Bel
OF the secret service received information
tonight of the arrest of a gang of coun-
terfeiters in New York City, who for sew
eral weeks have been successfully putting
counterfeit silver dollars in circulation.

plete outfit of counterfeiters tools and
considerable spurious coin. 1t is said the

RESCUED.
Five of the Imprisoned Miners
Rescued Alive.
Miraculous Escape From What
Seemed Certain Death.
Terrible Experiences of the
EntOmbed Men.

MOUNT CARMEL. Pa, March 15.-Su-
preme joy reigns in the home Of five men
tonight on account OF their miraculous
deliverance from what last night seemed
certain death. Two OF them, Hall and
Kevels, though suffering extremely from
nervous exhaustion. gave an an Associated
Press representative tonight the first ac-
count of their experience. These two
men were engaged in driving new shutes
in breast No. s in the south slope of the
mine. About noon yesterday they heard
a terrific roar and the next minute they
experienced a shock which caused Hall to
exclalm:
my God. Nick. the slope has caved
in"
Revels decended to the gangway and
twelve feet from him found their egress 10
the slope cut of by huge rocks. He called
to the miners who were working in No. 7
and soon saw Rokus crawling from the de-
bris. they both joined in shouting and then
heard Shalski calling from No. I chamber
for help. He was pinioned by large rocks
and urged his comrades to come to his
rescue. The second fall then occurred
and NO more sounds were heard and he
was in all probability killed, though a
force OF men are still working for his
deliyerance.
The five miners who were saved heard
their rescuers outside about 6 o'clock
last night, and growing desperate they en-.
deavored to climb up the abandoned
chamber and gain an exit. but the noun
tain like boulders stood in their way.
Later. however. they heard sounds OF
work outside again and their hope grew;
They then signalled FIVE times on the solid
pillar. Their rescuers returned the sig
mails and the wives, children and hun
dreds of friends at the mouth of the col
liery knew five were safe. At II O'Clock
to day their deliverance had been effected
by driving a tunnel twenty-nine yards.
Hundreds Of tons of debris must be re-
moved before the mine can be put in

In tie provincial charter of 1891,
inder which the Plymouth colony
end the province of Maine were united
with Massachusetts,, it was provided
h a all trees of the diameter of TWEEN
ty-four inches and upward. twelve in
ehcs from the ground, growing upon
land not heretofore granted to any
private person, should be reserved to
the crown, for the furnishing of masts
for the royal navy.
y surveyor general of woods was
appointed, to see that this provision
OF the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines of suit
able dimensions were marked with

and Mr.. Goold, in his Portland in

standing, and were pointed out as
curiusitics.
Long after the revolution had oblit-
Grated the royal authority, men who

such trees.
In Telling a mast tree, says the
same writer, sit was necessary to bed

done by cutting the small growth,
! and placing the small trees across the
hoilows, 50 that there should be no
strain upon one section more than
upon another, when the monster pine
struck the ground"
The mast was hauled out OF the
woods on N strong sled, whether in
winter or summer, and SO many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
often choked in crossing a hollow,
being hung up in their yoke by the
pulling of those ahead of them.
