Farmers Institute at Buxton.

The Maine State Board of Agriculture
held meeting December 18th at Buxtor
Centre, in the capacious hall of the Buxtor
Grange, Homer Harmon. master. Thi:
grange has membership of about one
hundred and fifty of the leading farmer:
of Buxton, and has, since Its organization
about fifteen years ago. been continuously
prosperous, and Is one Of the grandest in.
stitutions of that good old farming town
H. A. Gilbert, secretary OF the board
was present. He Is one Of the best farmers
of the state, and always speaks from ripe
experience, which he Is able to supplement
by the latest discovered Improvement, In
the farmers art, derived from his exten
sive reading ana observation of what is be-
ing done successfully in every county OF
our state, as well as in many other states,
so the statements of the secretary upon
farm topics may safely be regarded as au-
thOritative.
He had with him, according to his Gus.
tom at these Institutes several experts.
James CheesemaD, secretary of the New
England Dairy Association, determined be-
fore the eyes of the meeting, by an unfail-
ing but inexpensive process the per CEN
tage of butter fats in eight samples OF
milk obtained from the dairy herd of COWS
on the farm of Horace Harmon.
one tenth to five and eight-tenths per cent
of butter fats in the milk. This demon
stration before the audince must have con-
vinced every farmer of the utility of find
ing out which of his cows are profitable
for butter. and which are worthless for
that purpose. Prof. Cheeseman made
many practical suggestions in relation to
butter making. The member of the board
from Cumberland county. Hon. w. FL. Vim.
ton of Gray, by several opportune and
pointed questions very much assisted
Prof. Cheeseman in making better un-
derstood by fuller explanation, some of his
statements.
B. Walker McKeen of Fryeburg, also a
member of the board, gave the subject an
increased interest by his statements of the
cash expenses and income of his herd Of
butter cows. G. III. Moody of Turner,
treasurer of Turner creamery, confirmed
the opinions of the preceding speaker as to
the prOftablenesS of good butter dairying.
Hon. j. T. Warren of Buxton, senator from
York comfy, very forcibly expressed bis
convictions that the State Board OF Agri-
culture, by its Institutes, was doing great
work In bringing the attention of farmers
to the new methods OF dalrylng and huS-
bandry generally.
A. w. Cheever, editor of the New Eng
land Farmer, ably addressed the meeting
in the evening, amo0g other speakers.
b. +. Pease of Cornish, the member from
York county. was present and took part in
the discussions.
There was good and appreciative au-
dience, still we missed with regret the
presence of many of the best known farm
ers of Buxton. But we will venture to
predict that those who did attend the meet
ing will also attend the next one that comes
within their convenient reach. for it GER
tainly was not only interesting but in-
structive. L. B. ID.

IRELAND'S SUNDAY TUNE
Played With Blaektherns on the
Heads Of opposing Factions.
MICHAEL DAVITT GIVEN AN UGLY
WOUND In THE FRACAS.

This Battle of the Factions Was in Water
ford City-O'Brien Declared That Dav-
lit Was the Victim of a Glorious Blow
for Ireland-News of Another Storm in
the British Isles.
DUBLIN. December 13.-Michael Davitt,
the famous Irish leader. was seriously
wounded during riot in Waterford City
today. Mr.. Davitt and William O'Brien
were in Waterford to support the candida
ture of Mr.. Keane, nominee of the Nc
Carthyites, for a seat in Parliament made
vacant by the death of Richard Power.
Mr.. Keane's opponent is Mr.. Redmond,
the Parnellite. The riot was one of the
most sanguinary and vicious of any of the
rows that have recently attended the dis
cussions in Irish towns by the rival lead
ers. Omin0us rumors of the impending
row have been exciting the populace for
some little while. Six hundred police
were drafted to the town In the hope that
their presence would secure order. The
Parnellite leaders. MeSsrS. Redmond, Lea
nv and Dalton, have been in Waterford
some DAYS. This afternoon. special trains
brought hundreds of supporters of the ri
val candidates. Various contingents.
armed with blackthorns, marched through
the streets to the music of brass bands.
Mr.. Davit and others, attended by
band of music, pr ceeded for the
quarters of the National Commercial
club. On the route disorders arose, and a
mob of Parneilites began fierce conflict.
The opposing crowds fought at very close
quarters, and surged to and fro throughout
the streets, seeming utterly regardless of
the presence of the police. Vnlleys of
stones were hurled and b'ackthorns sent
many of the bowling rioters to the hos
Ditais, the police stations and their homes.
In the midst of the affray, Mr.. Davitt re-
ceived nasty cut on his forehead from
which the blood flowed freely. Mr.. Tan
ner and others were injured by stones.
At last the police formed Gordon and
divided the opposing mobs. The Davitt
crowd reached the club rooms where Mr..
O'Brien made the speech of
the day. He bitterly denounced the as
sault upon his friends and said the crowds
that injured Mr. Davitt struck glorious
blow for the Irish cause. Mr.. Davitt's
answer to that blow was that now he was
candidate for Waterford. Mr.. O'Brien
in his concluding words, accused the po-
lice of using their batnns more In favor of
the attacking mob than otherwise. The
police. he asserted, protected the Parnell-
ties. while the force of their blows was de-
voted to the McCarthyites.

Especial to the Press.l
BATH, December 13.-Beside the gun
boat which is nearing the Launching
point, there are no other vessels that will
slip off the stocks here before well into
next summer. The New England Ship
building Company has the new Maine Gen.
trail steamer partly framed. and E & A.
Sewall have their biggest ship of all al
most up. This monster, to be called the
Roanoke, stands on the same ways on
which the Rappahannock and the Shenan-
doah were built. The Roanokei is to be the
largest sailing ship in the world and will
be on the same lines as r,tilee Shenandoah
with IL feet additional length. Like the
Shenandoah, she will carry four masts.
The dimensions are: Length on the keel,
300 feet. inch; registered length over all,
3l2 feet; beam. 40 feet; depth between CEN
tres, 20 feet. The tonnage, of course, can
not be determined until the ship is fin
ished, but it will exceed by the capacity
OF the extra IL feet the 34O6 tons of the
Shenandoah. The frames of the Roanoke
are all up and E0lted together with tue
exception of the short ones In the run for
ward, where the bows begin to narrow.
The figures given above convey little If
any idea of the size of the monster. 1t
may be more to tue point to say that the
whole fleet of steamers Of the Casco Bay
line could be lifted up and dumped bodily
inside and leave room for tugboat or two

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.
DR.. Dalton's Able Lecture Delivered Sat-
urday Afternoon.

We are to note what part Cleopatra had
In changing the face of the world and
whole subsequent course of human history.
Nor are we to speak of Cleopatra alone.
Dut even more of Antony, and scarcely less
OF Octavius Caesar. nephew of his uncle" T"
and Pompey, son and heir of Pompey the
Great. Lepidus was soon bowed out of the
Triumvirate, and then began the contest
for supremacy between Octavius and An
tony. Antony was defeated and ended his
life by suicide, and Cleopatra took herself
off by the same means. From this day
Octayius is hailed as Emperor of Rome
and sole master of the world.
The secret of his success was the GOODNESS
OF his temperament, temperate habits,
prudence, caution and persistence. His
aids in war and ministers in peace were
M@cenas and Agrippa. one a man Of
thought, the other of action. The young
ruler soon took the title of Augustus, by
which he Is now known. He became to
Rome and to Julius Cas3r all, and more
than all. that Napoleon Ill. was to Paris
and his great uncle.
Like William l., the late Emperor Of
Germany, he was wise enough TO select
able men to guide his counsels, which he
appropriated TO himself the credit. 1t was
the boast OF his age, that he found Rome
bricks and left it marble.
AS to the women of the play, Fulvia,
Antony's first wife, was clever enough TO
make Octayius fear her and come to an un-
Outstanding with her husband. His sister
Octavia, who became the wife of Antony
on the death of FuIvia. was the last, or
nearly so, OF the typical Roman matrOns.
prudent and pious, energetic aud firm, de-
voted TO the interests of husband and chill
dren. She resembled, In many things,
Catherine, Queen Of England, whom Hem
ry VIII. appreciated as little as Antony
did Octavia. Cleopatra is usually painted
as sensu0us beauty, who ruled Antony
by her personal charms as she did far
greater man before him, Caesar. But her
power over both these men was derived
rather from her cleverness, her intelli-
gence. and. above all, her manners, which
were of the most engaging description. In
this respect she resembled her two peers in
fame, Helen of Troy ana Mary, Queen of
Scots.
In conclusion, the lecturer considered
the question whether it is desirable, or
possible, for one man or one nation to gov
ern the world; also the conditions which
caused the fall of the Roman republic, and

RocKLAND, December 12.--In the Su-
preme Judicial Court today, before Judge
Haskell, the case of the inhabitants of 40.
pleton VS.. Frank E. Carkin ct ais, was
concluded. The principal defendant was
the collector and treasurer of the plaintiff
town for the year 1887. and gave the bond
in suit, containing the names of eleven
accounts were found to be short some
$1,000, and after several conferences be-
tween the Selectmen and the collector and
his sureties, without arriving at any salts
factory result, this suit on the bond was
commenced The bond produced at the
trial contained the names of the principal
defendant and eleven others as snreties,
and delivery of the bond were admitted,
but the defence c0ntended that it was
void in that it was executed without seals.
Carkin was called fol the town, aud tes-
titled that the bond when executed was
fully sealed. The plaintiff also introduced
other testimony TO show tnat the bond was
properly sealed and executed.
In the defence, all the sureties upon the
bond save one, now deceased, testified that
the bond was not sealed when it was
signed, or that they saw no seals up0n 1t.
The trial occupied two days. The Jury,
after being out about an half hour, found
that the paper was the defendants deed
and that the condition had been broken.
The matter will now be sent to master to
lind the amount due.

ALETTER FROM HIS MOTHER.

The Parents of Norcross Convinced that
He Threw the Bomb.
BOSTON, December 12.-It was ascer-
tained tonight that during the visit of Hem
ry l.. Norcross's father to his office today,
letter was found in his desk addressed to
his mother which is believed to have fur
nished convincing proof to his parents that
he was the bomb thrower who perished In
Russell Sage's office. Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
cross know the full cOntents OF the letter,
as do also few firm friends of the family,
but all refuse to divulge its full contents.
IL Is said, however. that In the letter young
N0rcr0ss informed his mother that he was
going away on Thursday upon important
business; that If successful he should re.
turn Saturday night, but If unsuccessful,
he might never return.
w. IL Farnum, chemist, said NorcrOss
al@ays showed great interest In his chem
ical experiments, but so far as be knew,
N0rcross had made no experiments him
self. he considered it peculiar that, IL
Nnrcr0ss made the bomb himself, be
should not at some time or other have made
some inquiries of him as to the ex xnlnsives.
From Wilton, N. a., where the NOrcross
family formerly lived. comes reliable evi.
dence that DR.. NOrcross, Henry's grand
father. was insane for long time before
his death, which was about 20 years ago
DR.. Norcross died In Wilton, Dui was
buried somewhere in Maine.
