mouth and was engaged in swallowing
her, despite her struggles. Tahichi ran
of to the hamlet and summoned seven or
eight of his neighbors, who, when they
reached the scene of the catastrophe,
found that the snake had swallowed the
woman as far as her feet, and was slowly
making its way to its home. They were

THE WATER WORKS,

The penstock which is to supply power
to the water-works pumps was in place
last Saturday night, the bulkhead wall
had been built and big stopper put in
the end of the penstock, so that Monday
morning the water could be let on and
Mr.. Smiths mill could start up. 1t takes
water from the same source and had
been shut down a week while the pen
stock was going in. The foundation of
the pumping station has been laid. The
pipes are going down rapidly on the west
side of the creek. Less rock was en-
countered than had been expected. Up
South street the pipe was carried with
out blasting within two or three rods of
the terminus set down on the plan.

THE SHOOTING OF F. G. MASON,

A brief dispatch from Denver, Coh,\
printed in the REGISTER two weeks ago.
told of the shooting of Fred C. Mason,
son of Mr.. Andrew j. Mason of New Ila-
ven. The following account of the af-
fair-whicb is understood to be in the
main correct-appeared in the Ebert
County (Col.) Banner of Aug. 2S:
Fred G. Mason. the popular manager of
the Merino stock farm, situated two
miles north of Elizabeth, was most bru-
tally shot down at 10 o'clock Monday
afternoon at one of the company's camps
on kiowa creek, by l.. w. Berry, herd
er who had been working for the COM
pany since some time last spring.
From what we could learn from Mr..
cambridge and two other employees who
were near when the shooting occurred,
the facts ale about as follows: Monday
after dinner Mason and Berry attempted
to have settlement, but on account of
Berry's carelessness in letting a number
of fine sheep smother, Mason would not
pay him the wages demanded and told
him to 90 to the company for settlement.
This led to a few words which MIR. Dand-
ridge thought had settled the affair and
he left the house to 90 to the barn, but
had not proceeded far when he heard the
report OF gun ana on turning around
saw Mason running south from the door
and Berry with winchester in hand after
nm. Mason had run but few steps
when Berry fired the second shot at HIM
and then turned and IAN around the
house to the northwest, and catching
sight OF Mason at the southwest corner
OF the house, he again fired at him with
deadly aim, the ball passing through
both sides OF ladder standing against
the house, striking and breaking Mr.. Ma
sons left arm, entering his left side a
little below the ribs, passed through his
body and lodged against the skin Just
above the hip on the right side.
After Mason was shot he uttered a
groan, ran in the house and fell to the
iloor, still pursued by his assailant, who
was stopped at the door by cambridge,
whom he also drew the gun on and de-
manded entrance, but on being told that

No complaint has been heard from the
people of the State that the cost of main

There is considerable truth in the
following, from the Chicago Tribune,
and it might well be borne in mind by
temperance and other reformers
Men are growing more temperate, not
because the law says they shall not have
chance to get drunk, but because pub
lie sentiment impresses upon them the
conviction that they cannot afford to get
drunk. 1t is by strengthening this SEN
timent that the work of temperance re-
form is to be chiefly prosecuted. Tell a
man the law says he shall not get drunk
and he is quite likely to do it out of
spite; convince him that sit does not
pay to get drunk and no law will be
needed.

~ CROWDS TO SEE THEM.
The finest of September weather,
bright, clear and cool; hundreds of ex-
hibits in the various departments, close
ly-contested horse and foot races and
large crowds of people combined to make
the county fair this year noteworthy
one in the history of the society. 1t
opened on Tuesday and closed last night
The officers had done their parts well in
advertising it and by personal solicita-
ton of those who had something to show
and the result proves that Addison coun-
ty, when it gets stirred up, can have as
good a fair as any county in the country
Perhaps the increased brightness of the
situation for farmers generally had some
thing to do with it also; at any rate, the
fair was an unqualified success. The
Middlebury band-J. b. Cobb leader,
and viii Duncan, drum maior-furnished
excellent music during the three days.
Col. Il. NJ. Chapman was chief marshal
and Mr.. w. B. Child of Weybridge as
sistant.

ELKToN, Sept. S.-News has reached
Elkton by letter of the death of Miss
Mary Dnrand, French woman, who
resided with four unmarried sisters and
two brothers on farm near Leeds,
Cecil county, in 1854. She was pos
sessed of large wealth and moved in the
best society. The letter in regard to her
death is as follows
Eco HARnoR N. j., Sept. s. 1S9i.-Amid
wretchedness, squalor and filth Miss Mary
purand, French woman said to be a sis
ter OF General Durand, was found literally
starved to death in her lonely house to-
day, The house itself, on Atlantic avenue,
u veritable storehousc of vnluables and
an amazing collection of goods of all sorts.
Miss Durand was 20 years old. She lived
alone, became miser and boarded up
everything of value she could Law her
hngers on. A visit to her house disclosed
strange state of affairs. In the cellar
stood barrel after barrel of preserves
which had not been touched for IA years.
On the ilrst floor, i'll the best room, there
was hardly space enough for one to move
about owing to the crowd of all kinds of
household and personal effects. Back in
the Kitchen, surrounding a small cook
stove, in bags, barrels and tubs were gro
cerles and provisions enough to keep a
the second floor was a bedstead and under
each mattress was large, unused, heavy and
beautiful Brussels CARPET UpOn the mat
tresses were bedclothing and female under
clothing packed to the ceiling, untouched
from the day they were bought The room
adjoining was also packed the same way.
IN the rear corner stood two large dry
goods cases of silverware which had also
been untouched The third floor rooms
held great quantity of old French relics
and rubbish. Outside stood a trunk full
OF very handsome and valuable satins,
silks and laces. There Is vet freight car
full OF trunks, valises, barrels and boxes
which were not opened when found, but it
Is supposed they contain furs, silverware
and similar goods. A trunk full of jewelry
has been deposited in the Commercial
Bank for safe keeping. Among the valu-
able papers found in the bureau drawers
were Al shares of stock of the Schuylkill
railroad and q shares of the Central
transportation Company, with an innu-
nerable number of deeds. Only SLIP was
found ~ cash in the house, but Miss

No relatives Of Miss Durand are now
living in Cecil county, but she is well
remembered by a host Of old residents.

farmer of Port Deposit, who is sup
posed to have fallen in Rock run Satur-
day night last and drowned, has not yet
been recovered.
