ARn1yAL OF THE HOBART HORSES

Ono Of the most valuable consignments OF
trotting stock ever put aboard railroad train

The consignment. numbering some fifty
head. was more than week making tho jour
ney across the continent. but oil arrived In
capital shane. They will be sold by auction
by Mcssrs. p. Kellogg & Co. to the
highest bidder on Tuesday and Wednss-
day OF this week at the American In

the total realized for tho champion and his
harem will surpass all records for a like num-

STEAMBOAT is horse OF remark able individu-
ality, His gait is so pure and natural that In
all Of his fast miles he wore shoes SO light that
the entire set weighed only from IA to ~
ounces. and he carried no artificial weights.
In the stud he impresses his own character
with remarkable uniformity. 1t Is said that
he never got n PAGER nor an amber even when
bred to pacing mares. and that all OF ms ioals
70 frem Y walk into square trot and up to
their highest speed without the slightest in
clpation to mix in their action.
Like the famous prosenitor Hambletonian;
the horse never got n chestnut or sorrsl
foal. Nearly all his progeny are bays or
browns. and in very rare instances ne mas got
n gray. but even from gray mares he seldom
gets one. He imparts the clean. strong. sound
limbs that the family of his sire. Sultan: are

TUPPER's PLAN DEFEATED.

The Proposal for British Preferential
 Dealings With Canada Falls Through.
 LONDON, July 1.-The Congress foi Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire declared for free trade by adopt ing MT. Medley's resolution by a vote of 47 to 34.
 MT. Medley's resolution, which, with Sir Charles Tuppsr's amendment. has been under discussion for over two days, declared that fiscal union between Great Britain and her colonies by pr eferential duties, being based upon protection, would be politically disastrous, and that the arrangement that would best conduce to intimate commercial union would be for the self-governipg colonies to adopt as closely as circumstances will permit the non-protective policy of Great Britain.
 Sir Charles Tupper's amendment in favor of preferential duties was finally defe ated by 8 vote of 55 to 38.
 A resolution was passed unanimously in favor of abroRating all clauses in treaties with European governments which hinder agreement as to trade be- tween Great Britain and her colonies.
 The Congress then took up the ques- tion of boards of arbitration for the set clement of trade and commercial dis putes.

ALL HANDS QUIT WORK.
Employees of the Bay View Mills Leave for
 an Indefinite Period.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 1.--Promptly at 12 o'clock last night the workmen at the Bay View Mills dropped whatever work they had on hand and left the place for an indefinite period. If a run" or turn" had not happened to be completed before or at that hour it was left where it was, as the forces that zoe on at night did not put in an ap- pearance.
 The company desired to run a few days after the last of the month in order to complete several jobs, but the execu- tive committee at fittsburg refused to allow the men here to work a minute over time unless the company signed the scale.
 It is admitted here by both sides that the future condition of affairs at Bay View will be largely governed by the re- suit of the conference at Youngstown between the Amalgamated Association's Executive Committee and the Manufac- turers' Association in the Mahoning and Chenango Valley districts.
 If compromise scale is adopted, there is every prospect for the same re- suit at Bay View.

IS GENIUS DWlNDLlNG7
Is Modern Life Inimical to Mans High

Is Modern Life Inimical to Mans High.
 est Development
 The prophets of the sacred book, the poets of the highest order, the great musicians and artists of worldwide fame are not living with us to-day. They developed when society was sim- pie and primitive; they dwindle in the highly cultivated conditions of modern life. And why is this? Because genius must dare be alone, living in inacessa- >ble retirement, where none but God in- trude. The greatest thoughts that have illuminated the mind, the grand est emotions that have thrilled the heart. have been given to solitary and breeding souls. So it was with Moses in Midian, Elijah at Horeb, Words worth in the Cumberland hills, Carlyle on his Scottish heath, Emerson amid the sleepy solitudes of Concord.
 The nearness of human life lessens the sense of Divine mystery. There are the rushing wind. Did you not hear veil between you and the spirit-world was so very thin, and the zephyrs rush. ing across the moorland at nighttime seemed like the passing of many wings, or the shimmering of the moonlight in the trees was as the white gliding of heavenly beings?
 But this is an age of cities, not soli- tudes. And we are like children gath cred around the bright, comforta ble fire of little room, trying to forget the ilimitable wastes of the wide night that encircles us.
 E.ninently sensible, too, says some one. So it is, but Nature must have her children face to face ere she communes with them. It is comfortab ble, but it is no haunting place for genius.
 The office, the bank, the exchange, the laboratory, the order of a highly civilized life shut her out like thick cWrtain.-N. Y. Ledger.

 Lower New Jersey.

Several Killed and Great Damage SDsnO fl
 Lower New Jersey. : @ CAMDEN, N. J., July IA terrific wind and rain storm passed over lower New Jersey doing immense damF ge and causing loss of life. Robert H. milton of Gloucester, was instantly kill sd, and his two daughters, aged 10 and 8 years respectively, were seriously, yerha ps fatally, injured.
 Patrick Highland, of Philat felphia. was instantly killed at Glouceste [.
 James and Edward Reddington. broth CTS, of Haddonheld, were blown from Q building and seriously injured. a
 The storm did great damage in Moores- town and vicinity. Two work men were injured and 8 man was killed at Palmyra.
 Farmers in the vicinity of Burlington suffered severely from the storm.
 In Atlantic City the streetzs were flooded and the electric cars were blocked.
 Great damage by wind and lightning is reported in the adjacent counHry; but |, owing to the almost impossible condi . tion of the roads and the prost ration of wires, it is impossible to learn particu- lars.
 During the storm lightning struck the house of James Lolly at West Ocean Grove, shattering 1t badly. lhrs. Lolly was struck by falling brick from the chimney as she rushed out into the back yard. The back of her h cad and n eek were SO badly cut that her recov- cry is doubtful.
