An Interesting situRtion.

The situation in which Mr.. Taylor letter
places our local Democrats is an interesting
one. When the Omniscient Wisdom took
up the task, on Dec 2lst last, of defend
ing the Grindstone figures, the specific
ground on which the defence was under
taken was that the figures were not average
prices but highest prices. The declaration
was in these words:
The wool figures were given as a record
of sales in the Boston market The Re
former explained at the time. a matter of jus
tice and good understanding all around that Mr..
Childs's figures were undoubtedly correct for
what they purported TO be the highest price rooi
brought H the different gears bat they
should not be understood to be dreruge prices"
On this declaration the changes were rung
over and over again, and our suggestion that
the Columbus despatch said that the figures
were average prices made the Wisdom al
most frantic. Later, as the Democrats foun-
dered deeper into the bog, they abandoned
the claim that their figures gave Boston
prices, and Travelled the country over to find
prices that corresponded with the Grind
stane figures. They did this, they said be
cause the bulk Of the wool crop is now
raised at the West, and the Grindstone
figures undertook to represent the whole
country in its wool tendencies. They said
it was narrow and petty mind that couldn't
take in this broad view, and filled two col
umns with quotations of prices of wool of
all sorts of grades from New York to New
Mexico and Montana, to show how large
the subject was, how they had grasped it.
and how the Grindstone table covered it.
And now comes Mr. Taylor, the author
of the figures, with declaration that the
figures are average prices, and that they are
made up from quotations in the Boston
market After a winter spent in explain
ing something which can't be explained,
the Democrats have at last appealed to the
man who concocted their figures and in an
swer he tells them that every claim they
the facts
No wonder they print the letter without
comment
Under the circumstances their confes-
sion, made by the Wisdom in two success
sive issues, that they knew nothing of what
bhcl Nele tanning hhuut was hupeIuuouA.
Their language in exact words is that 1--WE
knew mighty little about the wool business
when We took up the subject
The end Of the whole matter, as shown
by their own confession aud Mr.. Taylors
letter, is this The Grindstone circular was
gotten up and distributed by the hundred
thousand with no knowledge Of the cor
rectness of the wool figures or of their ba-
sis Of authority, other than was gathered
from floating newspaper despatch. The
correctness Of the figures was disputed,
but still the distribution went on, and when
the author aud promulgators Of the fraud
ulsnt circular were finally compelled 10 self

WALLACE NEWCoMB BURNED
OUT AT WINCHESTER.

Wallace W. Newcomb's sore and stock
Of goods at Winchester, y. H, were de
stroyed 10y fire about 3 o'clock ON Thursday
morning Mr. Newcomb came over during
the day, bringing the news to his wife and
other friends. He slept in the second story
over the store and ON the same floor were
three women, milliners, who also slept
there. He woke with a feeling of deadly
illness, or as if some calamity was impend.
ing, and following this came a conscious
ness that there was smoke in the room He
pounded ON the partition, awakening the
women, who at first said they did not smell
the smoke. On opening the door leading
down stairs the smoke and heat poured up
50 that his only way of escape was by the
roof of piazza in front. The women
were also obliged TO escape as best they
could with the assistance of Mr. Newcomh.
By this time the whole building was in
flames and he did not even save all Of the
clothes he had been wearing. The building
and all the contents were burned completely
up His loss on the building was $1,000 and
on the stock Of goods $4,000 He estimates
his loss above insurance at $1,000. He will
probably rebuild ON the same site. The
cause Of the fire is entirely unknown.

Mrs. uarri.on,- Mail.


Mrs Harrison's mail contains every day
appeals from oilice-seekers to use her influ
ence with her husband in favor Of the writ
ers Some Of the correspondents request
her to remind the President that their APP
plications remain unanswered, they have
heard nothing about them and fear the
President has inadvertently neglected To
act upon them. They beg Mrs. Harrison
TO look around the Office for the letters or
petitions and put them where Gen. Harri-
son will Toe sure TO see them.
Some of the letters are from women.
One Of them recently wrote that she was a
widow, with three girl children y her
husband was killed in the war fighting on
the Southern side, and there was uncon-
scious pathos in the details of poor wild
ows struggles to maintain and bring up lin
the fear Of the Lord" those three girl chill
dren. She wanted postofiice paving $500
a year, and lit would be a godsend to me. "
One man wrote recently eight big letter
pages to Mrs Harrison because he feared
that three previous epistles of the same
length, addressed to "Nour respected hus-
band had failed to meet his eye. The
letter breathed the most devoted piety
'twixt Republicansm and the most pro
nounced prohibition sentiment, and ended
up with a request for an office of som,
kind that would make life little easy foI
a man with one leg.

A steamer sailed from New York for
Greytown, Nicaragua, last Saturday, with
a corps of engineers and quantity of i'm
plements and stores for the Nicaragua ca
nal construction company, being the pio-
neer expedition for the commencement Of
the work of building the Nicaragua inter
oceanic canal. 1t is announced that con
sgnments Of men and materials will fol-
low one another at short intervals and the
vigorous prosecution of work upon the en-
terprise is thus foreshadowed In this con
ncction it is of interest to recall the fact
that the entire length of the contemplated
route is 40 miles, jGi Of which is already
free navigation in Lake Nicaragua, and "a !
river and basin navigation, leaving only
about % miles to be actually excavated. The
estimated cost of the canal is S66, 900, 600,
includinga contingent fund of 25 per cent.
The estimate is not a surmise, but is based
on careful surveys and Investigations of ev-
cry foot Of the route by experienced Amer

The owner of the farm which was swept
away in the Cherry Mountain slide is called
the most successfully ruined" man that
ever lived in the White Mountains. Gifts
of money from the wel-to-do, and even
from remote Sunday school children who
heard of his misfortunes and sent him their
little mites, aggregated quite large amount.
Then he sold his farm for a larger sum
than would have been possible before the
slide, and bought another near the village
of jefferson, which still later was wanted
by the owners of the Waumbek hotel
Finally he has been persuaded to part with
that at a price considerably in advance of
what he gave, and has moved away to an
other farm not far off, which he has bought
and paid for after putting several thousand
dollars into the bank, much more than his
first farm was worth; and still he feels
that fate has dealt unkindly with him and
that dark shadow rests over his life.

The evidence presented this week in the
case of J. A. Stones estate VS. the Central
Vermont railroad, on trial at Burlington,
has consisted in the main Of the testimony
Of trainmen and others as to the manner
and circumstances of the accident The
fireman ON the wrecked train testified that
the alarm on the bell in the cab caused by
the parting of the train, came when the
train was near the middle of the bridge
The engine was then going seven or eight
miles an hour. He stepped ont on to the
step at the side of the engine and saw one
car after another go down. The testimony
Of DR.. G.. c. Briggs was significant as bear
ing on the claim of the railroad company
that Stones life was not valuable to his
family. DIR. Briggs said he attended Stone
for several weeks in 1886 He was in the
last stages of liver disease that would
have proved fatal in a short time in any
case. This trouble was caused by his hab-
its Of eating and drinking.
