Another Crank KilI. mim.eIr.

The already fading memories OF the havoc
wrought by a crank in the office of Mr.
Russell Sage some weeks ago have been re-
vived by a somewhat analogous tragedy
which took place at New York Friday i'm a
Broad street office. \ crank entered the
Office of l.. SOmbOm ~ Co. and demanded
a loan of so from Julius SOmborn, a MEM
Der of the firm. Mr.. Sombom refused
whereupon his visitor Immediately drew a
revolver and fired two shots at him, one of
the bullets wounding him slightly. Then
the man placed the muzzle of the pistol to
his mouth and fired twice, killing himself
on the spot. The dead man appears to
have been a half-crazed relative of Mr.
Somborn, and to have been in receipt of a
government pension as a veteran of the
civil war.

GRANGE NEWS.
An mt.re.tlng Me.,lng at GuIlrnrh.

Windham County Pomona grange held
very interesting meeting with Broad
Brook grange, Guilford, last Friday. Not
withstanding the prevalence of the grip a
good number were out. The exercises were
enlivened by good music Farmers win
ter evenings was the first subject taken
up. The idea of their being spent gener-
ally at home was enforced, never at the
store, hotel or any other loafing place !:
neither should they be spent loafing at
home, but in reading or some more necrs-
sary way. They should read the local pa
pers. also the grange, religious, household
and political papers. and of the latter they
should read those of different political
opinions. They should read aloud. then
discuss the subjects read. One evening
should be given to the study of the Bible.
1t was urged that farmers take hold of
their work with energy and try to interest
all farmers to improve every opportunity
for good. Farmers organizations of some
kind were spoken of as necessity. Find
out what they needed. then ask for it. study
up the tax law, the school law. so that they
can tell if change is needed and what the
change should be.
The talks upon making maple sugar
were especially interesting, as practical SUI
gar makers told their different methods
Covered tin buckets were considered the
best, although properly painted bucket
was satisfactory, but some kinds of paint
caused trouble. The farmers were urged
to send to the experiment station at Bur
lingtOn for bulletin No. 26, which contain
ed just the information needed 10y the SUI
gar maker. The sugar thermometer and
various other simple instruments were
shown. If they We're used, a person might
be sure that his syrup or sugar was Just
right, and have no guess work or worry
about it, They cost but little and would
be of great advantage. Samples of sugar
We're shown, one strained through a felt
strainer, the other not. 1t seemed as if the
greater price one would would receive from
a lot of syrup strained in that way would
more than pay for the felt The time was
too short for all who were ready to ask or
answer questions. and we were obliged to
leave these most hospitable people after
having spent a very pleasant day.
The next meeting of Protective Grange,
Brattleboro. will be held Tuesday evening
next. \ class will be instructed in the
work of the first and second degrees The

Emcien, Work for the Republican Cause.

Mr. Blaine will easily take the Republic
can nomination for the presidency if he is
in a condition of health to receive it. The
only misgiving on this point with him
would be doubt as to his ability to carry
the country, and the Hill-Gorman- Brice
alliance at Washington are doing every
thing possible to remove that. There was
about as much prospect apparent of his
carrying the presidency after the elections
of 1890 had been held, as there was of his
being elected Pope of Rome and he knew
it; but the folly of the Democrats as re-
CARDS the currency, their fabulous throw
ing away of much OF their advantage in the
tariff issue, and the Vaccinations of David
b. Hill, in the course of which all that is
disreputable i'm the Democratic party has
come into prominence, have materially
changed the situation of affairs. They have
made for the Republicans an amount of
capital that it had seemed impossible could
accrue to their party under any conditions,
