entire sons to take their places. They
were expected to get trotters, which they
did not; and what they did get lacked the
fine dispositions, cheerful road qualities,
beauty and general adaptability to all
work which, in the old Morgan stock, had
become so familiar as to be unappreciated.
AS a result the breeders began to sigh for
the return of the old stock.
In the summer of 1888, FREELY, the
first Lambert that ever was offered for
service in the White River valley, appear
ed few times at Rochester; but he was
stranger in a strange land; the local
horse clique hooted him, and he left
without having had any patronage what
ever. The performances of his son, Del
Monte, last season, have probably led some
of the Rochester breeders to wish they
had looked him over little closer. Prior
to this time two or three of the most en-
terprising breeders in the valley, seeing
that some remarkably easy going trotters
called Lamberts were in the unpleasant
habit of coming over the mountain and
picking up every decent purse that was
offered, concluded to "get some of their
powder to shoot them with and bred to
Ben Franklin, the first colt produced
being sold at three past for $1,000. These
youngsters were advertising themselves

HORSES OF THE WHITE RIVER
WALL X

This valley may be called the home of
the Morgan Horse. 1t was to Randolph,
which adjoins the river town of Bethel,
that the original horse was brought from
Springfield, Mass. in the fall of 179l, by
Justin Morgan, from whom he derived
his now famous name. 1t was along the
valley of the White river that his first
offspring saw the light. In Tunbridge,
which adjOins the river town of Royalton,
his noted sons, Woodbury. and Bulrush,
were foaled. This town was also the
birthplace of Clifford, the most famous
son of Woodbury.. At Royalton was
born Morgan Eagle, the next most noted
son, from whom sprang the trotting
family of Magma Charta, as that of Gold
dust sprung from Clifford. Here also was
the home of Gen. Hubbard, Weasel and
other sons of the same excellent sire. AS a
natural result, Morgans were here bred in
great purity, and thirty years ago half
the horses one would meet in this region
would be of the Morgan type, so strong
ly inbred as to produce considerable uni
formity. Among the earliest marked
innovations on this system of home
breeding was the introduction of Draco
(2:2S4), son of Young Morrill,, brought
from Danville by l.. L. Tucker of South
Royalton. Draco himself was a Morgan
on both sides, but was of more rangy
type than the original compact, handsome
and ''strutting little Morgans" on their
native heath. 1t was in Bethel that
Draco got his fastest trotter, Draco
Prince (2:24D, from daughter of Fur
mans Black Hawk by Vermont Black
Hawk. Draco came into Royalton about
rs years ago, and in very few years the
Morrill, and Black Hawk branches of the
family had become so popular that a
stallion tracing in direct male line to
Woodbury. was hard to find. 1t is doubt
full, however, whether the Morrill, ele-
ment added anything of value to the old
stock. They probably had more speed,
but seemed to lack, in many cases, both
the hardness and the docility for which
the original stock was noted Then, a
dozen years later came the Hambletoni-
ans, Vermont Messenger, Don Giovanni
and Dean Sage. These horses were bred
on what were then the most approved
speed lines, and they were owned and
skillfully advertised by men of position,
wealth and influence Dean Sage and
Vermont Messenger are by IRysdyk's
Hambletonian, the former from a daugh-
ter of Seely's American Star, and the lat
ter from Lady Lockwood (2:25) by
Neave's Cassius NJ. Clay, thus giving us
the blood lines of both Dictator and
George Wilkes; while Don Giovanni was
by son of HambletOnian and from a
daughter of Volunteer. well remember
with what enthusiasm the advent of
these scions of the blood royal was hailed
in that region, and what sacrifices were
made to breed the sure world-beaters
therefrom. 1t is needless to say that all
these air castles fell to the ground. These
horses got some creditable foals. but It
is now universally conceded that they
had no improving influence on the old
stock. Two Of the three have gone and
the other is but very little patronized;
and they have shown that most conclu-
Sive mark of failure-tbey have not left

PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity OF the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend 1t shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. AS such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. s. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. s. OF Blggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is -eminently the kind of informa'
zion that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and mono such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees moi
only the animated bearing and noble1 action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty O
the country through which he travels.

Indecent Haste.

On Thanksgiving morning Stephen
Blackwell, owner Of Livery stable on
South d street, was found dead in
bis bed in room on his premises.
Deceased was native of Maine, aged
littls over 60 years. It is thought
he may have died of heart disease, as
he had n day or two before his death
complained Of pain in his chest. He
leaves no, relatives in this place, but
has a son in California, from whom a
letter was received about q week ago
by parties hero It is said that when
the body of Blackwell was first found
1t was still warm, and some thought
that they detected beating of the
heart. Notwithstanding this, it
you'd appear that the body was al
tRost immediately hustled away to the
grave. 49,

Arth'r Middleton

In several instances 1T has been diff
cult to state precisely the occupations
OF the signers.. Take, the case of
Samuel Adams. He studied for the
ministry, was merchant, and became
the ablest writer of his time on public
questions. The word "farmer" is used
in several places. where landed pro-.
prietor or planter would be more fit.
One case, a signer--Roger Sherman. of
Connecticut-was shoemaker until he.
was twenty-one years old, and then for,
sock the bench for the bar. It is diff
cult to determine just what profession
to honor with the name of Richard
Henry Lee. Charles Carroll, of Carroll
ton, considered the wealthiest man in
the colonies, was lawyer by profession.
In regard to the nativities Of the signers,
it will be understood that, while many
were natives of America, their fathers
of European birth For example,
William Hooper, Of North Carolina, was
born in Boston, and his father was q
Scotchman, and the father of George
Read was an Irishman. So far as pos
sible the biographies have been care
fully consulted, and the table given is

NO POLITICS IN 1T.

Silver has gone up few cents an
ounce during the last fow months,
but the advance is owing to no politi-
cal cause and it is, the quintessence Of
idiocy to claim credit for it for any
political party. The slight advance
is on account of increased demand
for the metal, for other purposes than
coinage, at home and abroad, and
politics have no more to do with it
than with the price of sagobrush in
Tuscarora. Every Administration
since the passage Of the Bland bill
has done all in it's power to keep the
white metal down, by coming only
the minimum amount, and the exist
ing one is no exception to the rule.
The claim Of Democrats that silver
vas higher at one time during Cleve-
lands term than it is at present, is
only equaled in Stiffness by the Re-
publican intimation that the recent
advance was owing to friendliness
upon the part of Secretary WINDOWS
financial policy. There is no capital
to be gained for either party by such
nonsensical assertions, and the sooner
the BIPARTISAN press and tin-horm poll
ticians drop such tactics, the quicker
will be the thorough unity Of action
among the, real friends of silver in
their efforts to reinstate the metal in
ahe' place whore it properly belongs,
In the currency system of the Nation.
The. honest and intelligent silver
producer wants free coinage for the
benefit that will accrue therefrom,
and not because of the effect it will
have upon the political party to which
be belongs. 1t looks, however, as
though half Of the politicians on both
sides in Nevada would be willing to
sacrifice the main issue, if by so do
ing they could fix the blame upon
their political Opponents.--LTimes-

Facts About tho Ituman Ear.

Few people realize what wonderfully
delicate structure the human ear really
is. That which we ordinarily designate
so, is, after ALL, only the mere outer
porch of series of winding passages,
which, like the lobbies Of great build
ing, lead from the world without to the
world within. Certain of these pas
sages are full Of liquid, and their mem.
branes are stretched like parchment
curtains across the corridor at different
places, and can be thrown into vibration
or made to tremble like the head ofa
drum or the surface Of tambourine
does when struck with STICK or with
the fingers, Between two Of these parcb-
ment-like curtains chain of very small
bones extends, which serves to tighten
or relax these membranes and to COM.
municate vibrations to them. In the
innermost place of all row Of white
threads, called nerves, stretch like the
strings Of a plano from the, last point to-
which the tremblings or thrillings reach
and pass inward to the brain. A won.

Yesterday,
Shortly after twelve o'clock yesterday,
while one Of the Italians engaged in the
railroad work around the hill, TiOvanus
Audolin by name, was bathing in
the creek, Just opposite the east end
OF Elizabeth street, he got out beyond his
depth and WAS drowned. There were a
dozen or so Of his Italien fellow citizens
in the immediate vicinity, bat aecording.to
the testimony Of eye-wi;nesses, they made
no attempt whatever 10 aid the struggling
man. who drowned before their eyes. A
young man who saw the accident, jumped
into the water and brought on the body
after il had bsen In the water about halt
an hour
Justice Schultze was sent for, and ar
rived on the scene shortly after three
o'clock. The body was Cd the east side OF
the creek, and as it was impossible for the
Justice TO get TO it, except by walking
about half mile or more over tremen-
dously rough road, the body WAS carried
up the bank TO one of the little CARS IN
which earth is hauled for the railroad
grading, placed in it, and and pushed
along the temporary track down to the
old slaughter house, where IL was carried
to the east end of the Seventeenth street
bricge. There the inquest was held, and
the body turned over 10 the care Of Friend

A Very Narrow Escape From q Fatal Acct

ITALIAN DROWNED IN THE CREEK.
Probably Fsial Mishap up in Brooke

OTHER CASUALTIES REPORTED.

There vas an extremely narrow escape
from a fatal accident at the wholesale gro
Gerry of Joseph Speidel & Co., yesterday
afternoon.
About hali-psss four o'clock Mt Speidel
and Mr.. J. W. Waite, of the firm, we're on
the second floor, engaged in fixing some
bolts connected with the elevator. Mr.
Speidel was STOPPING down on the floor,
and Mr.. Waite was standing, leaning for
ward over the elevator opening, bis weight
being sustained by the heavy cross bar,
which is used "a 8 guard to prevent falls
by people walking about the we'll opening
While the two men were in this position,
the elevator was started slowly down by
Mr.. William Kleitz, who was on the fifth
door. It moved very slowly. and so quiet
is that neither Of the two men on the sec
ond door were aware Of its descent, so IL
tent were they about their work. The
heavy elevator came OF slowly down.
until it touched Mr.. Wait upon
the back OF the head and meek,
forcing his head down over the bar, across
which ne was leaning. At fret be thought
some one had slipped mp bshind him, and
was holding his head, bat an instant
served TO reveal the situation to him. He
cried ont, and Mr. Spsidel at once called
TO SIr. Klsiiz to send the elevator mp.
Very fortunately, Mr.. Kleitz caught the
right rope and the downward movement of
TIE elevator was changed to an upward
lust in time 10 avoid breaking
Nr Waite's neck.
he was at once removed from his per-
lous petition, and was found 20 be unin-
ured. save a slight confusion on one cheek,
where it had been forced against the bar.
Hs suffered greatly from the shock, how
ever, and was removed to his home on
I wentleth street, where ne was reported
in good shape late last night. His escape
vas a very narrow one.
