Night blooming Cereus

Mrs. Frank Haviland has a night
blooming cereus, two blossoms of
which were in full bloom recently.
BY the courtesy of Mrs. Haviland
the people of Danville had an
opportunity to see these flowers;
her house was crowded and all pres
ent had the unusual pleasure of see
ing the bud of a night-blooming
cereus expand into the fall blown
blossom. The flowers measured ten
inches in diameter. The waxy lustre
of the petals was noticeable in a
marked degree and the cluster of
stamens shone with a more than
silk-like radiance. In addition to the
night-blooming cereus, Mrs. Havi-
land has 1Smore varieties of the cac-
tus plant; these with her other flowers
make collection of plants that it is
hard to equal and all who have the
opportunity to see them are very
fortunate

AN HISTORIC MANSION.
Destruction by Fire of House Famed In
New York History.

Destruction by Fire of n House Famed In
New York History.
An interesting old mansion was do
stroyed by fire in this town recently,
mansion whose history dates back be-
yond the revolutionary war. To the
present generation it was known as the
Watson Webb house." from the name
of it's owner in the early part OF the
present century. Although the old
mansion was the scene of many a merry
making in colonial days, and saw many
bloody ARRAY in the revolutionary war,
being on debatable ground when the
British were trying to cut their way
through to New York from Lake Cham
plain and Saratoga. and, although Gen
era1 Lafayette was sheltered under its
roof, it is, perhaps, best remembered as
the spot where the verses were written
beginning:
Twas the night before Christmas, when all
through the house
Not creature was stirring, not even a
mouse
It was in 1904 when Kiliaen Hoge-
boom left Amsterdam to take possession
of tract of land eight miles square,
now including Claverack, three miles
from the Hudson river and to the east of
the city of Hudson. 1t was purchased
from Chancellor Livington. Kiliaen
Hogeboom's son Jacobus began building
the old mansion in 1927. 1t had gener.
GUS halls and big rooms and had front
age of sixty-three feet, along which ran
capacious porch. Over the porch
clambered an ivy, which, as years rolled
by, struck its roots deeper and wider in
to the soil, and extended its shade over
portico and mansion. The interior was
finished in the highest style of Dutch
art The fireplaces were tiles illustra-
ting scriptural subjects, and were brought
from Amsterdam. The mantels were of
wood and were quantity and curiously
carved, and mural paintings served for
a picture gallery. 1t Is said that the
furniture and expensive Eric-a-brac
brought from the old country made the
mansion one of the most delightful
places to be seen at that time in the
Hudson river valley, and that Dutch
hospitality made the spot famous for
good living up and down the river.
1t was during the revolutionary war
that the house was most famous for its
hospitality. The property had descended
to General Samuel Webb, an officer in the
Continental army. General Webb had
married the granddaughter of Jacobus
Hogeboom. 1t was when Lafayette was on
visit to General Webb that Lafayette
etched on window pane with his dia-
mond ring his name and the date Of his
visit.
A later generation found the old place
in the possession of Benjamin Moore,
who had married into the Hogeboom
family, and at his death it became the
joint property of his seven daugh ters
and two sons, and from them it descend
ed to the present owners, Henry James
and the heirs of the late Augustus
Thinning. Horatio G. Adams also has q
life interest in the property, his wife
being one of Mr.. Moore's daughters. 1t
was when Clement Moore, son of Ben
jamin Moore, was young man that he
wrote ''Twas the night before Christ

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The Mystery Growing Deeper Around Il
Birchall Case.

B1rchail Case.
WOODSTOCK, November 11th.-Another
letter concerning the Benwell murder has
been received, signed by 81. B. Lithfield," +"
dated Buffalo. In effect it says: II am a
member of the conspiracy which dealt
with monied Englishmen who were
brought out here to be robbed of their
wealth"
The letter then goes on to say that the
scheme was in working order before Bir-
chall's coming to this country, and four of
the party were at the swamp when Benwell
and Birchall came along on February 7tb.
They met them and tried to induce Benwell
to swear TO assist them in their business or
he would be killed.
"Benwell would not listen" continues
the letter, land we shot him and cut his
name from his clothing. We then told
Biichall TO go out of the country, and gave
him what articles we had taken from Ben
well. We told Birchall we had chloro-
formed Benwell, and he did not know he
had been murdered"
The writer says: ''As sure as Birchall
dies, not one board shall be left of the
buildings of the lurymen who sent him
there. We have Jud re Mcmahon spotted,
and should we have to wreck a train to
murder him, we will, and we hereby notify
him of the death awaiting him, and the
iurymen also. If Birchall be hung, it will
make two men executed for our deeds, be-
sides one undergoing life imprisonment"
Birchall continues to protest his inno-
cence.

BIRMINGHAM (Ala). November 11th.-A

woman whom he introduced as his wife,

yesterday and announced that they would
give show at Erswell's Hall at o'clock
present was to be given to every scholar
who attended. Twelve hundred paid 10
cents admission, but in the hall they found
no show and no presents. Fountaine told
them 10 pass out the back way and they
would receive their presents there. They
refused. Then he went into a DARK corner,
Lighted match and shouted Fire. This
caused a panic and many children were
trampled under foot and injured, some of
them fatally. A policeman was sent up to
arrest the swindlers and found them
locked in room. The door was broken
down and Fountaine and the woman taken
to prison.

CONGRESSMAN M'KINLEY.
HIS Views Regarding the Recent Repub-
liCan Losses,

HCan LOSSES
CHICAGO, November 11th.-Congressman
Mckinley arrived in Chicago this morning
and is stopping at his sisters house, resting
after his hard campaign.
He talked freely to an Associated Press
reporter tonight on the results of the re-
cent election and, referring to the new
tariff law said in part: IF it had much
to do with the Republican losses, it is not
because of the law itself, but because of the
misunderstanding of its provisions among
the people. The studious efforts of the
free traders at home and abroad to mis-
represent it, and the alleged marking up of
prices was the most telling agency of de-
ception. The law was less than month old
when the election occurred. Its effect could
not be felt or shown by actual experience.
Falsehood took the place of fact and i'm.
posed upon credulous people. Goods were
said to have gone up in prices which have
been placed on the free list in the new law,
and many articles, where duties had been
reduced. were said to have gone up, all be.
cause of she new law.
Time alone will vindicate or condemn
the measure. Misrepresentation and de-
ception will no longer avail, now that the
elections are over. Those who care to know
the exact provisions of the new law can do
so by an examination of the law itself, re-
moved from partisan prejudice. The peo-
pie, in my judgment, will stand by protec-

FATAL COLLISION.
Railway Accident and Loss of Life in
Great Britain.


LONDON, November 11th.-A collision
occurred to-day on the Great Western Rail
way at Norton, Fitzwarren Station, near
Taunton. between q freight and special
train from Plymouth, conveying passen-
gers from the steamer Northam Castle Just
arrived at Plymouth from the Cape of
Good Hope. Ten were killed and eight
injured.
The collision occurred at 9 o'clock this
morning and was caused by the negligence
of the signal man. The freight train had
been switched to the upper line to allow
the down night mail train to pass, which it
did safely. The night was rainy and dark,
and the signal man forgot the freight was
standing on the up track, and the up. bound
special train, which consisted of four car
riages containing fifty passengers, rushed
past the station at the rate of fifty miles an
hour and dashed into the freight. The first
car of the special was demolished. The
wreck took fire and six passengers were
burned to death.
Wreckage was piled to the hight of
eighty feet. Some of the passengers were
imprisoned in the cars four hours. A
negro killed was the son of a missionary
in South Africa. He was on his way to
America.
