Refused to Grant Requisition Papers.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sep. 19.-Govern II
Ladd decided not to grant requisition
papers for the transfer of Burglar Ell
wood from this State to Ohio. The re-

State can turn him over to the authori-
ties of any other State.

Apropos of the coming election: An
enthusiastic democrat was the other
day explaining the politics of the United
States to French Canadian who had
made application to become a voter. A
mugwump being defined as a republi-
cali who votes the democratic ticket,
the questioner asked:
"And what would you call demo-
crat who votes the republican ticket?''
81 would call him d fool" was the
correct democratic answer.
And the Canadian made another note
on American politics.

A conservative estimate places the
number of men in Waterbury who are
capable, at moments notice, of diving
right into the swim and creating a news
paper that will coin money, at 5000.
They may be met on every corner. Only
yesterday Bank street merchant took
a newspaper man into his confidence
and explained in detail how the trick
could be done. In theory it seemed the
simplest thing in the world. The local
papers, the gentleman allowed, were uI
to the average, and all that sort of thing
but there was something wanting. The
newspaper man good naturally listened
to the advice, which was an old, ole
story and it satisfied the merchant anC
did no harm. But after the other finish
ed the scribe had his innings. He told Of
the ten thousand newspapers started
with plenty of financial backing
which have gone to the whereness OF
the whittier because the right sort O.
brains was not at the helm; and of tn,
ten thousand more that exist withou
making a cent for the people who have
invested money in them. 1t isn't finan
cial backing that makes successful
newspaper. 1t is the practica
knowledge of the business-usually &C
quired under adverse conditions-and
keen understanding of public tastes
Many a man whose knowledge of tn
English language was perfect has trie'
his hand at newspaper making with dis
astrous results, because he lacked idea
and, to use a homelv expression, coul
not understand that it is the kick of tn
mule rather than his particular styl
that does the business.

Collision on the New England Road at
Clayton's.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock,
while a freight train of the New York
& New England road, bound for Hart
ford, was switching at Clayton's, just
east of New Britain, another freight
from the west, coming around the
curve, struck this one with tremendous
force. Part of the cars were on siding,
but the caboose and several cars stood
on the main track. The standing train
had signal out. The other train,
which was very heavy. could not be
stopped in time. The crash was tire
mendous. The caboose was transformed
into kindlings at one stroke, and two
freight cars were badly broken up. The
tracks were blocked for two hours. A
wrecking train went out from East
Hartford and finally the way was
cleared.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept II, 1891.
Kelly says that his interview with the
Ohio farmers on The wheat question shows
that there is not u spark of truth in the
wild cat scheme in effect, that the leaders
of the Farmers Alliance have advised the
farmers to hold wheat until it brings them
from 81. so to 50. The farmers say that
they are willing to sell for 81 which
is sufficient profit. This will keep -four at
level of Sc per barrel. The prices may
decline little more, but they are dragging
very close to bottom, and to days figures
need lose no one any money. Circum-
stances are now favoriny purchasers to
an unexpected extent, and it will be
prudent for you to buy soon and buy
fully.

Five Fingered jack of Easton Has
Almost Recovered.
Hobart Purdy, better known as Five
Fingered Jack" of Easton, is reported to
be convalescent, and much to the sur
prise Of those who know about his case,
is likely to recover from the disease
with which he is afflicted. Purdy last
August was employed by a man
named Cowan of Strdtford, and
took care of sick horse which
had the CHAMBERS and was killed.
In some way Purdy was innoculated
with the loathsome disease, and for over
four weeks was terrible sufferer. His
body and eXtremities swelled to enor-
nous proportions, and he was covered
with liberated sores. He was perfectly
helpless and presented such an offensive
appearance that no one cared to go near
him. The unfortunate man lives alone
in hut located on n back road at the
extreme western portion of Easton near
Redding line. For several days he was
left without attention of any kind.
When his case was reported to the select
men they sent man to provide him with
medicine, food and water, but his con
ditIon was such, that the attendant left
the wretched hovel and did not appear
again until the following day.

MONTANA SAPPHIRE FIELD.
An English Company Being Formed y
Work EldOrAao Bar.

An English Company neing Formed to
Work Eldorado bar.
A cable from London, under date OF Go
tober 4, that financiers of that
city ars about to float a company known as
the Sapphire and Ruby company OF Mon
tana. The cable says the report made by
MIR. Streeter, the noted dealer In precious
stones. and other experts, are favorable to
the samples which have been submitted,
"but none of them state they have person
ally Vowed the property where the so.called
samples are supposed 70 nave Deen gatn-
vestors have written to the governor OF
Montana about it, and his reply is awaited
with much anxiety"
1t was scarcely necessary for the London
ers to write to Gov. Toole, as young Mr..
S~treeter waited the Montana fields a year
himself. went to London, and reported
most favorably on them. He came to Mon
tana direct from the South African din
mond fields. and in his report to the elder
Streeter, the latter pronounced the discoV-
cries in Montana tho most important
afsis.n t is,a., l'n Is. fo n tae Of sG shis
company is simply depending upon the
question of the stones being in Montana.
and of there being several thousand acres
of these sapphire and ruby fields,
there is no question. The property
in question ia probably that owned
by the Spratt syndicate, which, while it has
never been worked, has been so thoroughly
prospected as to establish beyond doubt its
value ns q producer of rubies, %sspphires
and other stones of like character. If the
English doubters will visit Helena they
will have the evidence of the existence of
these nelds in the windows of every jewelry
establishment in the city. Up to two years
while the stones were known to be in
on Eldorado bar. they were
to be of no value. That is the
the world has heard SO little of them
to the present time.

GrAnd TOTAL Seeo,ooV
OF this amount about $50, 600 was received
for property south of the river, $4,000 from
Hunter Hill and a majority of the balance
from the Chloride hill group of mines. ALI
of the above named gentlemen. with one
single exception, were prospectors n
members of the bacon and beans brigade"
as late as the spring of 1887. and all OF
them packed their blankets and grub" in
to the Occur d'Alenes on their backs. The
principal properties from which the above
amount has been received are:
The Gold Hunter, Morning, Evening,
Gettysburg, Lucretia, Grouse. Iron Grown,
You Like, just What, Yolanda, Silver King,
independence and Central mines,
All of these properties are in the vicinity
Of Mullan, and form a silver girdle around
the town. The present values of these
properties can be ppt down at $1.920.0M
These figures are q very conservative esti-
mate. If this is not a fine showing for a
young camp, where shall we find it? The
writer challenges a comparison with any
four-year-old mining camp in the world on
silver-lsad properties.
There are also as many more mining
properties here that will be added to the
list in the near future and the Thousand
figure will be placed to the credit of the
owners. 1t is only a question with us of
whose turn will come next:
