Hannibal HamIin Smiled.


A story is told of an incident Of
the war, which took place at Pushaw
Pond, then, as now, famous fishing
resort for Bangorians. Early in the
strife the government secured guns
and cannons wherever it could, and
every private foundry and machine
shop in the land was pressed into
service to produce weapons with
which to arm the volunteers. Thus
it was that the old Bangor firm of
Hinckley & Egery became engaged
in the work. The story goes that
at one time they had contracts to
make and did make some cannons.
When ready for service, these were
taken out to Pushaw and to the
Perch House landing, the under
stading being that if Dollar Island,
three-quarters of a mile away, and
about an eighth of mile long, could
be hit by ball from one of the new
guns they would be accepted by the
authorities. A Bangor man had
charge of the practice and really felt
he was the biggest gun there, as he
represented the government.
Now it SO happened that the war
vice-president, Non. Hannibal Ham
lin, arrived home that day, and as he
was Jealous in everything pertaining
to the country's welfare, he drove
out to Pushaw to witness the pro-
ceedings, and for some time was an
interested spectator of the vain at
tempts to hit the island, though it
was plain to be seen the cannon
could project ball twice that dis
lance. AS the tale is told, it is evil
dent there was too much cider at the
rear of the guns, rendering the aim
faulty.
After the guns had been loaded
and discharged several times, Mr..
Hamlin joined the amateur artillery
men, sighted over one cannon and
aimed it, after which it was dis
charged. The aim was true, and the
ball, skimming the waters surface,
struck the island at the water line, a
point always aimed at in actual war
fare and when bombarding ships.
There was much applause, though in
the hustle and general hilarity. no
one seems to have recognized the
new comer-due probably to the
cider.
The government boss was down
by the waters edge when the report
came, and when he saw how true the
aim had been, he took umbrage, as
he had previously sighted the gun,
and with that dignity which men
clothed with temporary authority Of
ten assume, strobe back to the can
non. With an oath he wanted to
know who had been fooling with the
cannon and was told that "old fell
low up on the grass" did it.
Hither he went, approaching Mr.
Hamlin from behind, and as he
whirled him about, wanted to know
why in blank and blank nation he
was sticking his nose into govern
ment affairs
Then there came over the face of
the second highest official of the ma
ton that quiet but characteristic
smile never seen elsewhere, and
which even the befuddled brain of
the Bangor man recognized. He
took a second look, gasped, became
sober in an instant, and fed Nor
was he again seen in town until Mr..
Hamlin left it. The guns were &C
cepted and sent to the front, where
they did good service; but they
were never better aimed than when
the vice-president "plunked" Dollar
Island

AN ANTI-JEWISH RIOT.
Eleven of the Rioters Killed Before
Troops Gould Disperse Them.

Eleven or the Rioters Killed before
Troops Gould Dispense Them.
VIENNA. April 24.-A serious anti-Semite
demonstration has occurred at Baillia,
forty-five miles southwest Of Carow. About
1000 persons made an attack upon the
Jewish quarter and wrecked and sacked a
number of dwellings and shops. Troops
were called out to disperse the rioters, but
did succeed in restoring order before eleven
men were killed and many injured.
Later reports from Biala show that the
first statement regarding the number OF
persons killed was exaggerated. Only
three of the rioters were killed and twelve
wounded. The troops at first used blank
cartridges, but as this did not result in dis
persing the mob, ball cartridges were used.
Ten of the leaders Of the rioters were ar
rested and will bo tried.
Ninety-five per cent. of the striking coal
miners in the Ostran district have resumed

The New Republican Measure Full of
Danger.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Ths President
will sign the republican silver bill. He has
been very careful to say nothing publicly
for or against the Window bill, or any
other silver proposition. He left his Secre-
tary of the Treasury to fight the free silver

choose the wisest way of fighting them, per-
haps, but still he did stand up and fight.

DEATH IN THE FLAMES.
An Explosion at a Fire at Catasauqua
Costs Two Lives.

CATAsAUoUA, Pa. April 24.-At 6 o'clock
this morning fire was discovered in the large
new building owned and occupied by the
Unicorn Silk Manufacturing Company Of
New York, with offices at Nos. SO and IS
Greene street An alarm was quickly
sounded, but owing to the early hour the
unteers, responded slowly. The workmen
employed in the different furnaces, facto-
ries and mills, were under the impress
sion that the whistles were calling
them to their days work, and
did not respond until the fire had been
burning about twenty minutes. Upon
their arrival at the scene of the conhagra-
tion considerable difficulty was experienced
In securing water for the fire engines.
BUILT ON A BLUFF.
The mill was built on bluff overlooking
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company s
canal and the Lehigh river, half a
mile from the town. They ran their
engines down the hill on the other side TO
the canal and soon had two streams Of
water on the building, which at this time
was mass of flames. In spite of the in
tense heat the firemen worked like beavers
in the hope of saving tho store rooms and
engine house, and at that place q
catastrophe occurred which has thrown this

others were working hard to control the
fire an explosion OF vitriol and other acids
occurred, aud before the firemen could es-
cape, several were caught by the falling
walls and many were injured by flying
debris.
DIGGING OUT THE CoRPSEs.
The following were soon taken from the
ruins:

1t is believed that there are two more
corpses In the ruins.

by spontaneous combustion in one Of the

minority members of the committee regard

the United States to political and partisan
uses 1t Is subversive of the fundamental
principles of local self-government. If the
bill becomes law, its execution will in
sure the shedding of blood and the destruc-
ton OF the peace and good order of this
country. Its passage will be resisted by
every parliamentary method, aud every
method allowed by the constitution"
Mr.. Reagan asked Mr.. Hoar what he
meant by saying that the bill was reported
as an original measure.
Mr.. Hoar replied that the committee had
had large number of election bills referred
TO it, and that, instead of reporting the bill
as an amendment to any of these it was
thought best to report it as an
original measure. He went on to say:
''It is quite unusual to debate a
measure on its first introduction, and
| do not wish to depart from that usage
but in view of the passionate statement
made by the senator from Alabama it is
proper TO say that this bill is, in substance, q
