A New swindle on the Farmers.

Swindlers have struck new scheme for
beating the unhappy granger who is inclined
to make money more rapidly than by the paths
of reetitnde. 1t is the man who wants to get
rich fast that lays himself open to the wiles of
such seoundrels as this. A well dressed man
calls at the farm house and wants to buy
good horse. A horse is shown him. Prices
are made, and, after bantering, bargain is
struck, and the buyer pays $40 down to secure
the bargain, and leaves to return in a week
for the horse. The next day another well
dressed and gentlemanly man calls and takes
a fancy to the same horse. The fsEmer can
not sell it because it is sold, but buyer No. 2
wants the horse badly, as it will just match
his other horse, which he has in New York
or Chicago or some other place. He offers
$40, SIS or $25 above the price for which it
was sold to No. l. The farmer cannot sell
the horse, but buyer No. will be back in
few days, and if the farmer has the horse he
will be glad to pay the S25 extra for the
animal. When No. l comes for the horse
the farmer wants to keep the animal to
sell to No. 2, so he offers No. his money
and $40 more back for his bargain. No.
takes the money, is $40 ahead, half Of which
he gives to No. >, and the farmer still owns
the horse.

Edison on the Waves.

Oscar Wilde crossed the Atlantic and

the Atlantic and, to use the slang phrase,
1T made them feel sick" Others again
have looked upon the mighty waves with
terror and admiration. Thomas A. Edi-
son, however, crossed the ocean, and he
says that it made him sad to think of the
tremendous waste of energy which the
tumultuous moving of the waves indi-
Gated. He thinks that the time will
come when all this will be utilized, and
when electricity will be manufactured

world will be done by that lively fluid

VERMONT PHQsNIX BRATTIEBORO FRIDAY JUNE 1889


A fire broke out at Johnstown, Monday
afternoon, and 25 buildings were totally
destroyed, including a large brick school
house Most Of these buildings had been
washed from their foundations, though
many Of them contained household good,
which had been saved from the flood But
a small amount Of these goods were saved.
The local Johnstown doctors held meeting
at the end Of last week, and, after discuss
ing the calamity, all joined in the conclu
sion that not a soul less than 10 900 people
were lost in the flood. On account of the
general knowledge Of the people possessed
by the physicians, the estimate is regarded
as reliable Portable houses are being set
up and assigned 10 the most destitute fami-
lies. The First National and Johnstown
Savings banks have resumed business.
Rapid progress has been made this week
in blowing up and removing the wreck at
the bridge charge Of dynamite was ex
ploded near the second arch from the east
end Of the bridge Monday afternoon, and
from the great body of wreckage tossed in
the air, pieces Of human bodies flew in all
directions. The remnants afterward gath
cred together indicated that at least six
bodies had been blown up. Much Of the
drift which has been dislodged from the
stone bridge has lodged in various places
along the river in the valley below, chok
ing the river and turning it from its course,
and It has been necessary TO send force
of men to remove these distractions.
The cleaning up Of the debris in the Con
emaugh above the stone bridge will be fin
ished by the end Of this week, and the
work of cleaning up the streets and thor
oughfares in JOhnstown and neighboring
boroughs will probably be completed with
in ten days The commissary department
is supplying food to about %, 900 people.
There are now actually employed earning
wages 1900 men.

made are owned by Mr.. Black, W. W Davis and
