was the author and promoter of a bill
relating to Mexican and Spanish land
grants, by the operation of which set
tiers were made more secure. He was
the author Of the laws which have CIV
en- the death blow to polygamy, and
under the operation of which it is fast
disappearing. He reported the bill by
which we protect ourselves against un-
just determinations by foreign coun-
tries against our meat products, TO the
advantage of our farmers. He led in
the support of the bill out of which
grew the treaty securing to us the con-
troll of the Nicaraugua canal. He was
active in securing the passage Of the
Interstate railway bill and the estab-
lishment of commission. He intro
duced at the last session a bill for the
establishment of great national uni
versity. These are some Of the impor-
tant measures with which his name is
connected. In fact, he has been close
ly identified with the great measures of
Congress during his twenty-five years
in the Senate. He held the chairman
ship of the judiciary committee for sew
enteen years. For many years he was
a leading member of the committee on
foreign relations. He served on other
standing committees. He was, for a
long period, chairman of the republican
caucus of the Senate. He has been
twice rendered scat on the Supreme
Bench. He was nominated for the
presidency by Mr.. BILLINGS in the ma
tional convention of 1880, and received
"a votes. 1t is supposed that had 1t
not been for the action of Mr.. Conkling
in withholding the vote OF New York
till too late to prevent the stampede to
Garfield, he might have secured the
nomination. His name was again pre-
sented in 1884 by Gov. Long of Mass.
and received "a votes. A sketch Of
this kind can only family outline the
great work he has done for the country.
There is much regret expressed botL IN
and out of the State in view of his res
ignation and yet these regrets are with
out censure, uttered or implied, in view
of his peculiar circumstances. There
is feeling in the country that one OF
the great leaders, if not the greatest
leader of the republican party, has dis
appeared. But as private citizen he
win not be without influence. Yer
mont has long been proud of her dis
tineuished Senator. He has realized
to her about as high an ideal OF what
a Senator should be as has been illus
trated in the history of our national
Senate. We shall look with pride up
on his past public career and ever hold
him in honor as our most distinguished
private citizen.

LASTING DENIES IT.

The Rumor ofa Large Deficit in the
 Accounts of the Adjutant General
 of Pennsylvania Pronounced a
 Fabrication.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-The rumor of a large deficiency in the accounts of Adju- tant General Hastings is denied by that gentleman. He says:
 There is no shortage. On the contrary, leave a balance to my successor. There is nothing to conceal regarding my management of the adjuntant generals office during the last four years. When I went into office there was deficit, or out standing unpaid bills, amounting to about $36, ,0O0 left over by the late adjutant gen. erai, General Guthrie. These bills were honest and correct. General Gutherie had been most prudent and economical in his administration, but the appropriations were not sufficient to meet the expenses of the national guard. Of course, paid these bills out of my years appropria- | tion.
 The new military code entailed addi- tional expenditure and much money was spent is the purchase of new rifles, tents, l rifle range, etc. After paying the deficit l left by General Guthrie there was SIS, ,00O | worth of new kersey and flannel for the | National guard and s, 300 cash and which
 was turned over to the present adjutant- l general against which there were some un. paid accounts amounting to about $10, ,000
 General Hastings says the accounts of hii
 office were as carefully kept as those oi
 any banking house and are open to inspec | ton.

JAMES REDPATH.

Death of the Famous Agitator-Fatal
 Result of Being Run Down by a
 Horse Car-Career of Man Who
 Battled for Very Many Causes.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-James Redpath, 57, the famous Irish nationalist, journalist and lecturer and the vice-president of the Anti-Poverty society, who was run down by Fourth avenue horse car, opposite the postofice, one day last week, died this norning at St. Luke's hospital from the effect of his injuries.
 MT. Redpath was born in Berwick-on- Tweed, Scotland. His parents emigrated to Michigan. At eighteen he went to New York, and began his career as g journalist. At nineteen he was on the editorial staff of the Tribune. He made an extensive trip through the south in '53-4 to see for him self the evils of slavery. The result was that he became an ardent abolitionist. He visited Hayti, and the government ap- pointed him a commissioner to or ganize the immigration of American negroes into Hayti. Through his agency several thousands settled in Hayti. He believed that this was the solution of the slavery question. During the war he was with the armies of Generals Sherman and Thomas, and he served under General Gilmore in Charleston. He was appointed superintendent of education of South Carolina, and organized the school system of the state, founding the colored orphan asylum at Charleston. He later founded the Boston lyceum bureau, and still later Redpeth's bureau. In 1881 he made tour of Ireland, writing up the famine district for the New York Tribune. He lectured on Ireland on his return, and founded Redpath's Weekly, devoted to the Irish cause. In 1886 he became an editor of the North American Review. In that year he worked hard for the election of Henry George as mayor. He has written a num- Der of books, many about John Brown, of whom he was personal friend

NEARING DEATH.

General Sherman's Condition Be-
 coming serious-Sufering Much
 PaIn.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The condition of General Sherman, who is suffering from erysipelas, is so much improved to-day that his physicians have pronounced him out of danger. The doctors say it will be month or more before the general can go out doors.
 LATER-The meager reports that were attainable early in the evening proved not to be very good guide to the actual con- dition of affairs. Later General Sherman's E daughter was seen and asked about the true facts relative to the generals con dition. She said "His condition to- night is very serious, but not hopeless. The doctors did not look for any change until Wednesday evening at the earliest. Fry sipelas has set in and father is suffering | 8 great deal of pain"
 At 1:20 o'clock this morning the lights in the hall of the Sherman residence were turned down low. Miss Rachel Sherman was seen at this hour She said her father was at that hour resting quietly and that Dr. Alexander would remain with him all night as precautionary measure, not, however, because anything s.rious was apprehended, at once.

MATTERS OF THE TOWN.
New Barn-An Extra Large Bnl- The Workhouse Project.

The Selectmen Examine Plans for . New Barn-An Extra Large Bin- The Workhouse Project.
 Plans for the new stock barn to be built ct Springside farm in place of the barr
 which was destroyed by fire were examined by the selectmen last night. The plans were drawn by Architect Stilson and they represent a structure which will cost about s4,500. They did not please Selectnan Forbes, and the board, with the architect, will visit Springside home to examine the location more carefully with view to an improvement upon the plans.
 A bill for $402. 50 from Architects Allen and Tyler was referred to the finance com mittee. The board considered it an un- usually large one for the plans for which it had been presented.
 H. H. Lane and Charles P. Couch ap- peared for Trades Council to advocate the councils petition for the holding of all subsequent town meetings in the evening instead of the afternoon so they can be attended by the working classes.
 Sexton Wilfred Ford of the Westville cemetery appeared to state that he needed stakes or "msrkers'' to designate the graves of the town poor and Town Agent Clarity was instructed to purchase as many as are needed.
 Sexton Ford alss stated he had been at an expense of s20 last September in bury ing Shaddock Murray, a colored man, whom he thought was an old soldier He tried to collect his expenses from the gov ernment, but was informed that Murray was deserter and had deserted from 6 Massachusetts volunteer regiment. The matter of reimbursing Sexton Ford was left to the discretion of the town agent.
 Selectman Fleischner for the committee on the proposed work-house stated the committee would be prepared to make its final report at the next meeting.
 Major Strong wanted quarters arranged at Springside home for the town farmer, MT. Griffin. Selectman Forbes said Mr Griffin, who lives in East Haven, and had large family, would not keep the posi- ton if compelled to stay at the farm. He new goes home on Saturday night and stays till Sunday afternoon. After short discussion, Major Strong withdrew his motion.

A CALIFORNIA TRAGEDY.
A Man Shot by Robbers - Ills Wife
 Killed.

NAPA, Cal, Feb. 10.-As Captain J. c. Greenwood, who lives several miles from here, returned to his house last evening after milking the cows, he was met by two men who, with pistols, bound and drugged him. Several hours later when Greenwood recovered consciousness he succeeded in making his way to .an adjoining bedroom, where he was mortified to find the dead body of his wife, who had apparently been killed while resisting the robbers. As he was returning from the bedroom Green wood was again met by the men who had been ransacking the house, and they shot at him twice. Both bullets passed through his left cheek. After lying in a semi conscious condition until morning he crawled into the road, where..he was found by neighbor. He will probably recover. He states that there was but small sum of money in the house, which was taken by the robbers. One of the men left a pair of bloody shoes which is the only clue. The people of the county are aroused and the perpetrators of the crime will be sum- marily dealt with when caught.
