Horrible AtrOcity and Vandal.

A Raid ON a Farmers Property--An Goods

Down and Chicken Coops Depopulnted-.
The Cause Of the Attrocious Acts
Mystery.
BURLINGTON, n. j., Aug. 81.-For some
time past the residents Of springside, a
suburban village, have been subjected to
brutal atrocities and vandalism, and
their most strenuous efforts to discover
the identity Of the perpetrators have been
futile
a few mornings ago ]. Frank Antrim,
a prominent farmer went TO his stable
and found blood dripping from the head
of his favorite horse He found that one
eyelid had been almost severed and hung
only by a tiny fibre. Dr. Fenimore
sewed the severed flesh in place and the
horse began to recover.
On going to the stable, as usual, yester-
day mornidg, Mr.. Antrim was astounded
to find that the other eyelid Of the injured
horse had been cut in a manner precisely
similar to the first. DR.. Fenimore sewed
on the other eyelid
This morning Mr. Antrim found the
hammocks on his lawn cut into pieces and
other evidence Of vandalism that he Is
unable to account for. Antrim is a quiet,
gentlemanly and good natured farmer
and friendly with all, and the cause fol
the atrocious acts is to him and all Others
inapplicable.
George Rigg, Jr., another prominent
farmer and neighbor to Antrim, ha,
suffered much from probably the samt
vandals. His fences have been TORI
down, trees destroyed and chicken coopi
depopulated. These are only two in
stances Of the many that have occurred
and at present there is no apparent pre-
ventive.

The Venezuelan Treaty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 31.-It is
stated on good authority that the report
ed rejection by the Government of Vene-
zuela of the reciprocity treaty with the
United States was mistake. The treaty
has not been rejected but the Govern

that certain notifications be made, for
the reason that the concessions contem-
plated will decrease the national revenues
at least 33 per cent, which is more than
the government can afford They are
willing to concede about one-half the re-
duction asked for and the negotiations

Official Notice Received of Proposition
to Change Present Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The Depart
ment Of State has received official notice
from the Government of Ecuador of its
intention to terminate the treaty of
friendship, commerce and navigation,
concluded with the United States on June
18th, 1882 and the treaty of naturaliza-
tion, concluded May 9th, 1882.
In each treaty, however, there is pro
vison that it shall remain in force year
after the reception of the notice to term
mate it, and consequently they have each
a year TO run.
The reason given by Ecuador for this
action is her desire to conclude new trea-
ties more in conformity with those which
she has recently made with other powers,

PROVED a FAILURE.
Letter Boxes on Street Cars VIII be
Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - 1t is now
likely that the PostofFice Department
will abandon Postmaster-Ge General Wana-
makers plan of putting letter boxes on
street cars in the large cities. The plan
was tried in several cities, and was op-
posed by the labor people and those who
are running street cars on Sunday.
The labor people opposed the scheme
because they thought it would reduce the
number of letter carriers, and those op-
posed to Sunday railroad traffic made it
an issue to prohibit the running of street
cars, claiming that the charters of street
railways give them the right to carry
passengers only.
The matter has not been entirely aban-
doned by the Department, but in view of
the opposition it has met with it is
thought that it will soon be dropped.

Guard mounting this morning was very

MADE ROME HOWL,
The Italian Chamber of Dep
uties the Scene Of Great
Disorder.
Several Members Make an At
tempt to Maui Each Other
Out of Shape.
the President Dons His Hat
the President Dons His Hat
and Abruptly Suspends
the Sitting.
Rudini Makes an Important
Statement in Regard to
the Dreibund.

ROME, June 2S.-There was another
scene OF Wild disorder in the chamber
of deputies to-day when the foreign
policy of the government came up tor
consideration. After few preliminary
skirmisheS Admiral Brin, ex-minister of
marine, who was speaking yesterday
when the sitting had to be suspended
on account of the tumult in the cham
ber. rose to proceed with the foreign in
terpellation, but,he was met with such a
storm of Radical protests that he was
only able to repeat the text of the inter-
pellation. Premier Rudini then rose
and declared, in most emphatic terms,
that the government would adhere
firmly and stolidly to the Dreibund,
adding that Italy and Europe
might rest assured that these alliances
would be maintained, and that Euro
pean peace would long be preserved.
With this the whole house, with the ex-
ception of the Extreme Left, rose and
cheered long and heartily. After fur
ther chickering's some deprecatory
illusions made by Signor Martino ex-
cited the anger of the Radicals, who
sprang from their seats gesticulating
violently and drowning the voice of the
speaker with their shouts. Signor
Cavallottl made rush at Signor Mar
tino and would have struck him but for
the interference Of friends, who part
ed the two men. The scene at
this point defed description. Every
member stood shouting. dIsputing and
menacing in the widest manner.
Finally the president, finding himself
unable to pacify the members, donned
his hat and abruptly suspended the sit
ting. When the sitting was resumed
Signor Gavaletto, the senior member of
the chamber; Signor Bovio, Radical,
and the president of the chamber ap-
pealed for concord, and all three were
enthusiastically applauded by the whole
house. Finally parliament was pro-
rogued for the summer holidays. The
Opinlone says that Premier Rudini's
statement in the chamber of deputies is
interpreted to mean that the renewal of
the dreibund is an accomplished fact
In the midst Of the confusion Sgr.Sin-
nonl threw bundle of papers in Sgr.
Gavallotti's face, and the latter rushed
to attack SinnOni, when friends inter-
fered. A general scuffle then took
place. Only the ministers remained in
their seats, the whole house seeming to
be transformed into an arena crowded
with combatants. In the scnffle several
deputies were more or less badly hurt.
Io-day'S scene is unprecedented in the
history of the chamber of deputies.
LONDON, June 29.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the News learns the best
authority that Premier Rudini desired
TO secede from the dreibund, but that
on finding England in great sympathy
with the alliance. he declined to isolate
Italy by refusal to renew the treaty.
