Ma VAL STATISTICS.

One hears so much fippant talk
and senseless criticism about our
navy that it is interesting to note
that the United States and Spain lead
all other nations in the average speed
of their naval vessels. England still
leads in average tonnage, although
she is behind France in the number
of her ships available for war. The
United States appears to be third in
tonnage, and our government also
ranks first with England and Italy
in the protective quality Of armor.
In ships we rank second with France
and Italy. while England is first.
These facts are CLEANED from Lord
Brassey's Naval Annual, an English
publication, and clearly show that
our navy compares favorably with
those of the European powers.

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

In these days of trashy literature,
sensational illustrated weeklies and
blanket sheet Sunday editions of the
metropolitan journals it gives us
pleasure to chronicle the fact that
Our Country" has a record which
is very encouraging. This little book,
written by Rev Dr. Josiah Strong,
general secretary of the Evangelical
Alliance for the United States, has
reached a sale of 10000 copies-a
record which is beaten by less than
six of the most successful novels. 1t
treats of the perils accompanying
the rapid growth of our nation and
urges more Christian activity all
along the line. The large circulation
of the work is an indication that the
people have not all gone over to the
cheap literature camp.

The people of New Hampshire are
waking up to the enforcement of the
trout law. Col. E. B. Hodge, fish
commissioner of New Hampshire,
recently arrested two men from Nor
ton for having two butter tubs of
sailed trout, many of them only
three inches long Mr.. Hodge let
these men off for $75 as they were
poor men. The laws of New Hamp-
shire prohibit anyone from having
in possession more than ten pounds
OF trout at any one time under penal
tv of fine of $50 and So a pound in
excess of ten pounds and S. for each
trout under FIVE inches long. The
State Fish and Game league of Yer
mont have thoroughly posted our
own laws and propose to enforce
them as effectively as was recently
done in New Hampshire.

THE HANOVER MURDER.

Last Friday evening Mrs. A. A.
Warden, her two daughters, Christie
and Frances, aged respectively about
% and 20 years, and a young lady
friend were returning from Hanover
village, where they had spent the
evening, to their home on the Lyme
road about mile north of the col
lege buildings. About midway be-
tween the two places is a deep ravine,
where the road is heavily bordered
with overhanging trees. They were
at the bottom of this ravine when
man sprang from the roadside and
grasped the eldest daughter by the
arm, saving Il want you" He was
at once recognized as Frank Amy, a
former laborer on Mr.. Warden's
farm. The mother and sister at
tempted to defend her but the fend
drew a revolver and fired hastily at
them, but without hitting his mark.
The young lady friend ran for help,
but in the meantime Amy had
carried his victim into field out of
sight. She screamed for help and
fought desperately but the william,
after stripping nearly all the clothing
from her body, shot her twice, once
through the head, and again through
the abdomen. He then fed. When
help arrived the girl was dead
Amy had offered some attention
to Miss Christie Warden while at
iected him. In all the year that he
was an inmate of their home he was
enshrouded in mystery; he never
talked of himself; he had no friends
or relatives; no one knew him; and
at Browns Lumber Co., where he
claimed to have previously worked.
he was known by another name.
He was we'll educated and Of pleasant
address but had an awful temper.
Miss Warden was an accomplish
ed girl, a graduate of the state
normal school, and a teacher by oc-
cupation Her two sisters, Myra
and Frances, are well known in St.
Johnsbury, the former being grad
uate of the Academy in 81, the
latter in 'SS. 1t was most brutal
and unprovoked assault.
Officers were at once notified and
a most thorough search for the muir
derer instituted. Citizens, medical
students and college professors join
ed in the hunt and every possible clue
to the rnurderer's wherea bouts was
diligently followed up. The woods
around Hanover were searched in
the hope that he might have taken
refuge near by until the excitement
blew over when he could more easily
make his escape. The best clue thus
far is toward the north. A man of
similar appearance appeared at West
Burke Sunday and was carried by
livery man to West Charleston, the
man confessing that he wanted to
reach Canada as soon as possible.
This clue is now being followed and
the man has been traced to Montre-
AL The officers found a watch at
Richmond, P. O., which the man had
pawned to buy a ticket to that place.
This is the same watch that n A.
Frost, a jeweler at Hanover, repaired
for Almy, as proved by his books. If
this man is really the murderer, the
officers will in all probability have
him before the end of the week.
Latest-Thursday Morning.
A dispatch was received at the de-
pot during last night saying that
Amy had been captured at Coati-
cook, P. O., just across the line from
Island Pond. All hope that the re-
port is true and that the murderer is
under arrest.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Boston Journal is coming to
tive mean the change from four to
eight pages-and announces that it
will appear in it's new form on Sept. 1.
It's in the air and the CALIFORNIAN
is glad it has joined the ranks of the
eight page papers.
Two bank failures in Kansas City,
Kansas, and one in Fort Worth,
Texas, the past week would seem to
indicate that the financial crisis,
which was so much feared a short
time ago, is not entirely passed. Nor
al, invest your money in Vermont.
The Venezuelan government has
declined reciprocity with the United
States on the ground that it cannot
afford to lose the income derived from
it's present tariff laws. For several
years the expenses of this South
American republic have equalled or
exceeded its income.
July is generally the SILLY season"
in the newspaper world, but the
sickening details of the crimes at
Hanover, Dedham, Mass, and else
where now fill up all the daily pa
pers This fact must be borne in
mind, however, that the evil in the
world is much more likely to be re-
corded in the papers than the good
deeds.

The complete census report on the
mines and mining industries of the
United States is now in the public
printing Office and will be published at
the earliest date. 1t shows that the to-
tal value of this country's mineral pro-
ducts for 1889 was 1856, 1888, 450; the
number of mining industrial plants
was 10000; that 512,114 persons
were employed that their wages
aggregated $2l2, 400, 300, and that the
capital engaged in actural mining
operations reached the enormus sum
Of 81 ,173, 900, 900. From these figures
it will be seen that the value of the
output from the mines of all kinds
in this country was but $59, 023, 100,
less than One.half of the total capital
employed in mining, operations,
while the total paid to wage. earners
in these industries was a fraction
more than 81 per cent. of the
value of their output.
