Kemmler, the New York murderer
has obtained another respite. II comes
in the shape of writ from Federal
circuit judge directing that the crimin-
al be brought before session of his
court sometime in June. This secures
delay of about two months. The
matter will probably be worked along
into the Supreme Court of the United
States. Then, if taken up in the order
of business decision might be reach
ed. This would come about in any,
where from five to ten years. In the

accumulating. There are three now
awaiting the decision in Kemmler's
case. Under the circumstances muir
ders win not decrease, and while capi-
tai punishment is virtually suspended

ed in a peculiar position. In New
York the punishment of the transgress-
or is hard--to secure, especially if one

The name of Hon. Frank Plumley
is frequently mentioned in connection
with the Congressional canvass in the
second district. We do not under
stand that Mr.. Plumley has given the
matter serious consideration at this
time, as he is man tempered with
considerable modesty. Thus far we
have had no reason to think that Con-
gresham Grout would not be his owH

lTls TIME TO HALT.

One of the most prominent RepubIi-
cans in Orange County thus strongly
endorses the course the HERALD has
taken in this campaign
SIS it not high time that somebody
or something was calling halt to the
governorship contest? The bitterness
manifested by the republican state press
is unaccountable. / do not remember
anything in the past like it. If both
sides are to be believed all, or nearly
all, our editors are corrupt and malig-
nant slanderers, and the prominent
candidates are unworthy, dishonorable
men. There are, so far as / know,
but two or three republican papers pub
lished in Vermont that ! should not be
ashamed to send, just now, to friends
out of the state. Why cannot this
canvass be conducted with ordinary
courtesy and fsirness, not to say de-
cency. Z.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH
BOSTON. December Sl..-Although the Broth
erhood schedule has not been made out, Presi-
dent John Ward has sent official notice to the
players club of this city that the Brooklyns
will be here the first day to open the season
with the local players club Director ]. B.
Hart says that the field will be leveled off and
sodded within week. and then work on the
grand stand will be begun. 1t will cost Sl5, 900
and will be similar to the stand at the Polo
Grounds in New York. The uniforms for the
Boston Players club have been selected. They
will be the same as the League club, white
with red stockings at home and gray with red
stockings when on the trips away from home.
The stock in the Boston club has been all
sold. BroutherS, Arthur Irwin and Quinn
have each 81, 600 worth, and Radbourne has a
large block. This has all been paid In. Mr..
Hart says that the stories about the granting
of the League ball contract to Keefe & Becan-
non are very misleading. He was on the COM
mittee which had that matter in charge, and
the contract was granted to the highest bidder.
Tom LovelPs bid was lower than Herman
kiHes, which again was lower than Keefes.
kltfe put in bid for the ball and League
guide, and Keefe's firm put in a bid for the
ball alone. Another firm wanted the guide,
and was willing to pay for it, so that the CON-
bined bid of Keefe and the guide man was $50
better for the Players League than Kitfe's
bid. and good deal better than Lovelps The
Players League finally decided to issue its
own guide, and gave the ball to Keefe d Be-
cannon. Frank Brunen will compile the
guide.
The League magnates are laying low and
saving nothing Manager Selee has been in
correspondence with the Buffalos about Le-
hane, but he has not yet been engaged. The Bos-
tons would like him if they can get him at a
fair price. There is nothing else new at the

CONFEDERATE HISTORY.
A Plea for Information as to the Inside On
cial Documents.

Plea for Information as to the Inside On
cinl Documents.
WASHINGTON, December 3l.-This was the
last days session of the American Historical
Association, and was given up to the reading
of papers on Southern history. President E.
D. Warfeld. of Miami University, Ohio. read a
paper on the constitutional aspects of Ken
tucky's struggle for autonomy from l7S4-92
He said that as early as I776 Kentucky began
to feel the necessity of self-government, and
that year George Rogers Clark made the first
incorporate demands for separation. The con-
servative element had the balance Of power
and welded it on the side of law and order.
Altogether this period, known as that of the
separatist movement, was one of the constitu-
tlonal side of singuarly temperate self-restraint
Mr.. George Bancroft entered tho room dur
ing interval between the readings and was
warmly welcomed, President Adams relinquisb-
ing the chair temporarily to Iithe Nestor of
American history" The next paper was en-
titled Materials for the study of the govern
ment of the Southern Confederacy," by John
Osborne Sumner, of Harvard University. He
said that much of this material of value had
been destroyed during the closing scenes of
the war. Documents were also preserved
which are not yet accessible. There were
many executive messages and departmental
reports obtainable, and the journals of the
Confederate Congress are SAID to be in exist
ence. After some reference to the histories as
written by Jefferson Davis and Alexander H.
Stephens, as well as to other recent works, the
paper closed with a plea for information
as to the existence and whereabouts of docu-
ments bearing upon Confederate history that
are as yet imprinted. The final paper was de-
livered by Prof. William P. Trent, of the Uni
versity of the South, Sewanee, Tenn, compris-
ing series of notes on the outlook for histo-
rical studies in the South. BE gave an account
of a great collection of materials for Southern
history, now being made in New York, ,sketched
the condition Of the various State historical
societies in the South, deploring the lSck of
public enthusiasm in the work, but citing
reasons why historical studies will receive
more attention in the future. and expressing
the hope that Southern history may be studied
by the people of all sections

Patent Secured and Works Erected in the
Beaver ValIey-Grear Things Claimed
for the New Preparation.
The Beaver Valley, so widely popular for
its manufacturing enterprise and frequent
evidences OF genius, once more looms up
with genuine surprise of special interest
to everyone using paints; in short, a substi-
tute for llnseed oil, which furnishes far more
des, ,rable results at about one-thlrd to one
half the cost of the latter. The lucky dis
coverer is Mr.. j. H. Finley, graduate
apothecary, assisting Mr.. James P. Moore,
druggist, of Rochester, Pa, who has for
years given the matter close study and con-
Quoted endless experiments, with the graft
flying consolation of at last achieving COM
plete success.
The article in question may really be
termed an oil of oils, consisting of COM
bination of oils, which, in course of manu-
facture, undergo a chemical change that
eliminates all deleterious properties so fire.

tured oils hitherto in use The modus operandi

work, for fiat colors requires no turpentine;

least. 1t acts as filler and can be used on
finished walls without size, while for general
purposes, it is alike adapted to wood, iron,
tin, zinc or glass, upon all of which it has
been, and is still being used. For granting
and all inside work its advantages are DEM
onstrated to a marked degree.
Already works have been established near
the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago Rail-
road.depot, tanks constructed, and large
quantity of the oil manufacture produced.
The new firm style themselves the "Roches-
ter (Ps.) Oil Company" Though perfectly
aware of the bonanza they had struck, they
have established their enterprise in the most
quiet manner. But the success crowning
their first efforts has aroused local interest,
and dwellers in the valley are contemplate
ing very largely increased prestige from this
source.

BUTLER, December 31.-Fifty-fve thou
sand dollars was refused for the Taylor well
and the hundred-acre lease on which it is To-
Gated, in the western district OF the hun
dred-foot field. 1t is in advance of develop
ments, and is the best we'll in the field.
There has been great scramble for leases
on land adjacent to it. This territory was
leased for oil IL or 13 years ago. These
leases were drawn for the term OF IS years,
but as nothing was done toward developing
them the lessons supposed they never would be
heard of again.
Since the Taylor well came in. however, the
old leases have been recorded. Leases taken
within the past week on the same land have
also been put on record, and an interesting
legal fight is anticipated if the contest is ever
carried into court.
T.W Phillips well on the Logue farm, a
mile and half south of Coylesville, made two
flows from the fourth sand to-day. Yesterday
he completed a 15-barrel well on the Wagner
farm, at Great Belt. His well on the Bylerly
farm and Nos 2 and on the Negley will reach
the sand tomorrow or next day.
