 It is reported that the government has ordered the postmaster at the depot to deliver the Willington, East Willing tan, Moose Meadow, Westford, North Ashford and Woodstock Valley mails to the carrier on arrival of the three o'clock p. m. train, which leaves no mail. The sense and beauty of this arrangement is seen at a glance when the facts are taken in that these mails lie in the post-office in West Wilmington se0eaa hours, and that an hour and a half after the carrier leaves three-fourths of the mail for the entire route arrives and lies over tsoenty: :tfour hours. Does the post office department at Washington understand this business ? We think not. Will this nice little ar rangement, solely for the carriers con- venience, (who not only makes money from the salary he receives for carrying the mail and from the passenger and ex- press business, but is now on the pension roll at the rate of 1924 per month), and at the public's great inconvenience, last a great while? We guess not. We venture to say that this is shining anomoly in the postal service

MONSON.

Springfield Republican The new
 creamery of the Monson cooperative
 creamery association was started up last
 week. The association was formed last | winter by the farmers of the town, and l work on the new plant was begun at once.
 An ice-house was put up and filled, and
 as soon as possible the creamery building was built. The plant is called one of the best in that part of the country. The
 building is 30 by 40 feet, and two stories | high. It is located near Days grist mill I on the Palmer road, and small pond
 near by will be flowed for cutting ice. The work rooms are conveniently ar-
 ranged on the lower floor, and tenement will be finished off on the second floor.
 A small steam engine drives the machin- cry, which was made by the Vermont
 farm machine company of Bellows Falls, Vt, and is of approved pattern. The concern starts off with two cream gath erers, and daily receive the product of about 25O COWS. A number of the farm CTS have not yet put up their creamers, and still others cannot send their cream until another season. From 15O to 200 pounds of butter are made daily The
 management of the enterprise has been placed upon Omar E. Bradway, young and enterprising farmer, and the pros- poets of successful industry seem as- sured. F. Q. Ball, who was butter maker
 for the Hamden creamery. has taken a similar place with the Monson associa-
 tion. The association has voted to in-
 crease the capital stock 5000, in order
 to complete and make desirable additions ! to tae plant.

The fight for control was hard one, and when the fire was put out the roof of the building was ruined and dam- age done to floor and partitions.

The show evidently abridged it's program and omitted attractions given in other places-decidedly unfair treatment in view of generous patronage given, though the repute of the afternoon performance les sened the evening attendance. The show was clean one, and good so far as it went, only limited in attractions. The 'wild west'' exhibit was good. One of the best 'contortionists ever seen here gave a most wonderful exhibit of elastic ity of muscle, and it would almost appear of bone also.

Cohnrg Family Council.

LONDON, July 25,-Advices from Sofia
state that deep interest is felt in the Bull
garian capital in the outcome Of the Co
burg family council which it is expected
will be held at the estate of the Arch
duke Joseph in Hungary, in few days.
The meeting is understood to most de p
ly concern Prince Ferdinand, inasmuch
rs it is believed to have been called to
discuss the matrimonial prospects of the
Bulgarian ruler. Prince Ferdinand and
his mother are to be present, and the
Princes Stephanie, widow of Prince Ru-
dolph of Austria, and her mother, the
Queen of the Belgians, will also attend,
together with several others connected
by birth or marriage with the Coburg
family. Current gossip has it that the
real purpose of the gathering is to dis
cuss the possibility of a matrimonial al-
lance between Ferdinand and Ste
phanie, an event which would require
the sanction of the Emperor and EN-
press Of Austria, the King and Queen Of
the Belgians, and probably arouse the
opposition of other courts.

LONDON, July 25.-A telegram from
Constantinople says that serious anti
Jewish riot has taken place at Jaffa,
where for some time past Russian Jews
have been arriving in large numbers.
despite the imperative orders received
by the authorities from the porte that
no Jews be permitted to land except
those going on pilgrimage to Jerusa-
lem and these only upon solemn
agreement to return within reasonable
period.
The expelled Russian Jews refused ad-
mission into any of the countries abut-
ting upon Russia took advantage of the
pilgrimage clause in the Turkish order
of prohibition and entered the Turkish
territory in such large numbers rs to at
once arouse suspicion that a large major
ity Of the ''pilgrims" were immigrants
of a most undesirable kind. Accordingly
the authorities absolutely refused tte aa=
init any more of them, whether pilgrims
Or not, and the Jews stood firmly ON
their religious rights, which they de-
clared had been respected by the govern
ment at Constantinople and could not be
ignored by any of the sultan's subordi-
mates. The latter did ignore them, how
ever, and savage fight ensued, necessi-
tating Il considerable reinforcement Of
the local military before the disturbance
was quelled. In the mckee number Of
the Jews were killed, much larger

that the murderer is a sailor.

Farm Mine is ExtInguished.
DUNBAR, Pa, July 25. The workmen
who have been laboring almost inces-
sanity for year since the dreadful Hill
Farm mine disaster have at last put out
the last Pickering flame, and have pushed
themselves to the edge of the great dam
of water that stands in the lower head
ing. The struggle has been long and
iaborious for the company and those
who have had charge of the work of re-
claiming the mine and possibly the dead
bodies of the unfortunate miners who
gave up their lives on that day Of June
10, 1890.
Whether anything is concealed by the
water which M yet fills the depth Of the
mine can only be determined when IL IL
pumped out. IL the men perished in
this part Of the mine il is considered
possible that at least some of their bones
may be found, but nothing more, unless
it may be the dinner pals Of the I'M
fortunate victims, or possibly their
lamps or tools. II they met their death
in another part of the mine, where the
fierce fires have been raging for months,
little hope is TO be entertained Of secur-
ing, at this late day, any relic Of them.
II will doubtless consume great deal
Of time to pump the water from the
mine, rs it reaches back from the head
ing distance Of 100 feet, and by the dip
of the mine becomes very deep Mt the
lower end. The work. however, will be
done as soon as possible, and the mys-
teries that have lain hidden for the past
year rs to the place and condition Of the
thirty-one Inflated miners win, in the
quickest time possible, be given 10 the
