scendants of Abraham here has rap

boasts of large Jewish colony
They are located in the northeast part
OF the city in the vicinity of the street
car depot and stables and are in a
nourlshing condition. They have two
syragogues and strictly observe their
Sunday on Saturday and the various
feasts of the Jewish calendar. The
Jewish quarter is about to receive a
large addition as result of the ey
usion of the Jews from Russia. A
dozen families have already engaged
quarters in large tenement block in
process of erection by O. S. Dodds,
west of Queen City soap works, and
a number of families in addition are

Jews come to this city by way of

Another Failure .

New YORK, Aug. 31.-The third
venture of James d. Leary in trans
porting heavy rafts of spruce and
pine logs from st. Johns has not
been success. The latest expert
ment consisted of two lots of eight
and SIX sections respectively in the
tow of the Storm King and Dirigo.
small tug boats from St. Johns.
The sailing masters committed mis-
take at the outset by taking the in
side passage, hoping to escape the
storm centres of the Bay of Fundy.
The current greatly impeded the pro-
gress OF the boats, and heavy storms
set in. Before reaching Rockland,
Me-, several sections of logs were
swept away, and when the tow was
moved seaward it was caught in ter
rifle storm near Seal Harbor, and
the tngs could not manage it.
The great logs. swayed and tossed
shore, ana The eight sections in tow
of the Dirigo were being sucked INTO
the eddies that led to the breakers.
Reaching them, it became question
whether the Dirigo should cut loose
or be drawn upon the rocks. The
captain of the tug boat was loath TO
cut loose from the valuable raft until
his crew revolted and insisted that
the boat be saved. He asked for
more time for consideration, and was
told by his engineer and fireman that
if he hesitated they would cast nm
overheard. The raft was pulling
shoreward and the Diriso was being
tossed about ON the outer edge OF the
white breakers. One of the deck
hands severed the big hawser and the
boat was saved. The eight sections
of logs were dashed to pieces on th'
; rocks and 1900 of them we're lost tt

The election on Tuesday passed

The Democrats gain largely III the

Inmates are as follows:

all others 947. In these towns Re

Democratic has gained AL, while
prohibition has fallen off but little |
If the vote of the remaining towns is
relatively the same as those heard
from, the Republican majority will
be about $4,000 in the whole state.
There were only IS Democrats in the
General Assembly of 1888. Thirty
seven have been elected in 1876 towns

AMMONIA AND SUICIDES,


One of the Most Certain Agents for Caus-
ing Death by Slow Poisoning.
OF the number of those seeking suicide
by swallowing some form Of poison.
probably there are few who have sought
to kill themselves by means of ammonia.
Nevertheless ammonia. although it is
the active agent in most of the salts
sold to women for their gilt decorated
and perfumed scent bottles, is poisonous
when taken internally in a concentrated
form. To attest this there have been
recently in New York several cases. the
most recent being that of Herman Haro-
witt, of which Deputy Coroner Jenkins
said that death took place in compare
lively short time after the ammonia was
taken. In another case, that of child,
DIR. Jenkins SAID death resulted in five
minutes after swallowing the ammonia
solution.
There are on record also cases of slow
poisoning from ammonia administered
with intent to commit murder. Further
more, the appearance of workmen in
guano factories, where ammonia is sci
free by grinding guano, has been noted,
and in every case there is an unmistaka-
bic system of poisoning. This is discol-
Grafton of the skin of the face. which
assumes blotched, dirty appearance.
First to take on this appearance is the
skin OF the nose and forehead. Autop-
sizes of those who die from ammonia psi
sonlng reveal dark hue on the mucous
membrane lining the stomach and intes-
tines.
As an agent for causing death by slow
poisoning ammonia is one of the most
certain and most difficult of detection,
owing toits volatile nature, This quality
has led physicians to believe that some |
of the mysterious deaths that have taken |
place in the history of modern and |
medieval crime are due to ammonia. |
1t is known now that months have |
,n eapsea csses St wgsraaSdua1 absorption of am
monia in the human system that there
is a general elimination of healthy ok
dation of the blood and consequent
lowering of the bodily strength In the
cases of immediate poisoning death
comes with frightful agony, as IN the
case of Harowitz. Blood sushed from
his nose and mouth.
;tatistics in England pat ammonia
thirteenth in frequency in the list OF
poisons. Alexander Winter Blyth, med
ical officer of health in the St Maryle-
bone district, Londou cites thirty cases
of poisoning by ammonia swallowed Tor
the purpose of committing suicide or aa-
ministered with the purpose OF commit
ting murder, or absorbed unconsclously
in food. Of the suicidal cases SIX We're
fatal. Of twenty accidental cases twelve
were fatal. Of cases of murder with
ammonia DR.. Blyth notes two, both OF
them them children.-New York Sun.

Brutal MURDER.

VERGENNEs, Sept. 2.-Frederic
Collette of Ferrisburgh was shot an
instantly killed on Sunday eveGin
while standing beside his wife, VIII,
was Miss Minnie Pigeon of th
city. He had just got up from .
chair, when the shot struck him. II,
was living with Mr.. A. Ainsc OF
that town. Circumstances pointed tc
Alphonso Chaquette, who worked on
the farm of Robert Satterly, as the
murderer, as he had made threats and
much talk on account of his failure
to obtain Miss Pigeons hand in mar
rage. Officers Fisher and Bates ar
rested him at midnight and brought
nm to Vergcnnes and placed him in
JAIL Feeling is very strong against
Chaquette, who does not stand well
in this community. 1t was the most
cold-blooded and dabolical murder
ever perpetrated in the county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Collette had just re-
turned from Shelburne, where they
had been visiting his parents. They
had finished supper and she was Sit
ting in rocking chair and he on the
arm. They had just rose from the
chair when The shot was fired. He
was standing with his left side TO-
ward the kitchen door, Is feet away.
and the charge of buckshot struck
hlm near the left eye and passed en-
tirely through the head, killing him
instantly. His wife's grandfather,
MIR. Ainse, had just stopped to get
boot jack, and the charge passed
over his back, just missing Mrs. Col /
lette; who was standing near her hus-
band. The kitchen, where thew
stood, is in rear of the house. which
faces the east, and stands three rods
from the road, which runs north and
south.
When Chaquette was arrested at
midnight on suspicion, double bar
'elled shotgun was found in his room,

all who knew him, and this diabollcal
manner of his death is the cause OF

McKinley's Campaign!


Congressman McKinley's campaign
for reelection promises to be especi-
allv interesting in several respects.
His gerrymandered district has a
unatural' Democratic majority OF
between 2OOO and 5000; and yet he
is believed to have good chance OF
success. This is remarkable enough,
especially in view of the fact that the
constituency is agricultural, as farm
ers are as class slow to step across
party lines. 1t happens, however,
that the wool-growing interest is
strong in the locality and much Is
hoped from Major Mckinleys per-
sonal advocacy Of protection during
the campaign. The Republican par
ty is well organized in the district
and it is proposed to contest sharpl.
every inch of ground. Mr.. Mchlnle.
doubtless sounded the keynote OF TIL
struggle in his speech accepting tn
nomination, which strongly uphel
the course of his party i'll Congress.
