majority of those who took enough in
terest in the matter to go to the polls
and vote, voted in favor of issuing the
bonds. In accordance with the wish
of the voters thus expressed the bonds
were issued, sold and the proceeds ap-
piled in trying to find gas and that
every dollar of this sum. was applied to
that purpose can be clearly demon
strated by any one who will take the
pains to go into the Abilene National
bank and examine the books of the
treasurer of the gas company, John j.
Cooper. Whether the money derived
from these bonds was expended judi
ciously, or whether it might have been
more judiciously expended by those
who had charge of the boring for gas, l
do not know; but however that may
be it cannot affect the validity of the
bonds, nor the obligation of the city to
pay them. To refuse to pay them is
downright reputation and L do not
believe that there are any considerable
number of business men in the city
who are willing to place the city Of
of Abilene in the position of repu-
diator of its honest debts. In the days
when the railroad bonds, the gas bonds
and the city hall bonds were issued
there had not grown up in this state any
party which advocated the reputation
of honest debts. Bonds were voted
freely and we voted bonds for a road
which did not come; and we probably
in those balmy boomy days would have
voted alls bonds asked for anything
that looked like public improvement.

of further bio dy deeds were made freely
and all II ,rts of the police to locate the lead

velous ability to defy detection is due to the

The story of how the Malta was brought to
an end in Sicily, the birthplace of the organ
ization, is PARTICULARLY interesting in view OF
the developments here to-day. The banu
had grown so powerful and so merciless in
1860 that the italian government saw the
necessity of taking hand against the muir
derers An order was issued to arrest every
suspicious character on the island, and In
the leading Italian cities. About 5000 were
locked up within two weeks. They were
kept for six months, in which time the
authorities collected evidence diligently.
When any evidence sufficient to convict was
found, the culprit was at once taken out and
shot. Those who were convicted were re-
leased, but kept under close surveillance
and if any new evidence appeared that war
ranted an execution, no time was lost in cut
ting off the mans head or putting bullet
through his heart. Three thousand mem

comment has been expressed among
Italians in this city over the sentiments
of Dr. Ravogli, their consul here, and
one of the best known Italians in the
west. DIR. Ravogi does not join in the
Indignation of his countrymen over the
New Orleans affair, but, on the con-
trary, denounces the class to which the
victims of the mob belonged In an in
terview he says:
There is such an organization as the
Malta in New Orleans. 1t is composed
of the worst element of the Sicilian
people, ex-convicts and outlaws whose
object in life is a villainous one. They
are not Italians, and it is embarrassing
to me when anything like the affair OF
Saturday occurs. No doubt many MUIR
ders have been committed in New Or
leans by the Malta. 1t is probable that
my government will ask explanations,
and considerable diplomatic correspond
ence may ensue. There are at least
IL, 900 Sicilians in New Orleans; many
of them have accumulated wealth, but
the great mass of them are worthless
and dangerous to the community IN
which they live"

The Outcome Of Restocking Vermont
Trout Streams.

The Forest and Stream club of Will
mington, says the Springfield Sunday
Republican, held an important meeting
last week, and decided to build club
house TOXIC feet, with a broad piazza
surrounding the same. The site selected
is near the main Bennington highway,
one mile west of Wilmington village,
in one of the most charming and COM
handing locations. The club owns and
controls many miles of trout streams,
Matching places, etc. Several large
springs furnish an abundance of cold and
living water for the streams and trout
propagation.
The membership of the club, now
nearly complete, is confined to one hun
bred persons, and transient patronage
will not be solicited by the club. This
membership includes prominent citizens
of Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connecticut
and New York. The clubs possessions
include cultivated farms, long tracts of
woodland, forests, and nearly four thous-
and sugar naples, and about seventy-five
head Of live stock.

CAMP VERMONT.
The Annual Muster at Bennington Next
Month.


The Annual Muster at Bennington Next
Month.
From the Free Press we take the fol-
lowing concerning the encampment of
the National Guard, to be held here dur
ing the week of August 10th. 1t says:
Gen. Greenleaf states that the usual
practice of sending out invitations and
passes to visit the encampment of the
National Guard will not be followed this
year, but all will be welcome, and it is
hoped that large numbers will visit the
boys while in camp at Bennington, Aug.
IA to 81. The Tooth anniversary of the
admission of Vermont into the Union
will be celebrated August 10, and in
honor of this event Gen. Greenleaf has
decided to name the annual encampment
of the National Guard scamp Vernon"
During the encampment special tent
will be provided at brigade headquarters
to be known as the press tent. 1t will
be furnished with telephone and tele-
graphic facilities, and every effort will be
made to supply the representatives with
accurate information regarding the work
of the encampment.
Commander D. L. Morgan of the De-
partment of Vermont has commissioned
T. Benton Kelley as Assistant Adjutant-
General on his staff.
Gen. w. L. Greenleaf has issued gen.
eral orders relating to the annual muster
in which he says:
Gas directed by General Orders No. s,
A, G. o., dated June %, 1891, the several
organizations composing the first brigade
V'N. G., will go into camp on the
grounds of the Soldiers Home at Ben
nington, on Friday, August Ia, for eight
days, A., ,oo.,, o,,,,,,,o,,
sary of the admission of Vermont into
the Union will take place during the en-
campment, which will be known as
Scamp Vermont in honor of this event,
and the following regulations are pub
lished for its government.
''The object of the encampment being
the acuuirement of knowledge of mil
itary duties, the undi Jided attention OF
officers and men must be devoted to the
attainment of this object during the
hours prescribed. When off duty the
men will be allowed to enjoy themselves
in all reasonable ways, but mock parades
and disorderly conduct of any kind will
not be permitted.
''The camp will be laid out and tents
pitched by men furnished by the Quar-.
termasters Department, and the usual
detail for that purpose will be omitted.
Company Quartermaster Sergeants may
be sent in advance to arrange for mess
tents, etc., If desired, but no compensa-
ton will be allowed therefor.
