CALEDONIA COUNTY CONFERENCE.

The 5Sth annual meeting of the
Caledonia conference of Congrega-
tional churches was held at McIn-
does Tuesday and Wednesday and
was one of the most profitable
gatherings ever held by the confer
ence. The attendance was good, %
being present from St. Johnsbury at
the first days session.
The opening sermon by Rev. George
Roger of Lower Waterford was
upon church unity. 1t was good
sermon and one that was enjoyed
by all. The ladies had charge of
the first part of the afternoon ses-
sion. Mrs. Henry c. Newell of St.
Johnsbury presided at the foreign
missionary meeting, which was adj
dressed by Miss Page of Smyrna.
Miss Page gave very interesting
account of her labors in that field.
A meeting of the home missionary
society followed, presided over by
Mrs. Walter P. Smith of St. Johns
bury. Miss Lydia Hartig, who is
engaged in home missionary work by
the Vermont Domestic Missionary
society, spoke of the work she has
been doing in this state.
After the two ladies meetings
Rev. Henry Fairbanks gave a re-
port of the London council. This
was one Of the features of the days
sessions. Prof. Fairbanks spoke of
the work that the English Con-
gregationalists are doing; of the
number of nations that sent dele
gates to the conference and also
gave brief summary of some of
the addresses. Rev. ]. c. Bodwell
of Lyndonville followed with a force
full talk on Congregationalism. In
the evening there was a praise SER
vice conducted by the Christian
Endeavor society, followed a paper
on the meaning and worth of Con
gregationalism by Rev. George P.
BylngtOn OF East dardWlck.
Wednesdays sessions were equally
interesting. After devotional meet
ing Miss Hand of Salt Lake City
spoke of her work in Utah under
the auspices of the New West Edu-
cation commission. 4 novel feature
of her talk was series of questions
and answers which followed. The
reports from the churches were fol-
lowed by papers on the church
creeds of this conference by Rev. ].
K. Williams of Peacham and the
church covenants by Rev. Arthur F.
Hertel of St. Johnsbury East.
In the afternoon the communion
sermon was preached by Rev. Ed
ward T. Fairbanks of St. Johnsburv.
The sermon pointed out the far
reaching influence of such service
in the midst of the rush of daily
business and cares.

Mr.. TAFT,S CANDIDACY.

AS the time for the state conven-
ton draws near the people are be-
ginning to discuss who they will
have for lieutenent-governor on the
republican ticket. The CALIFORNIAN
has not changed its mind that Hon.
E. B. Taft of Burlington would be
an excellent choice, and we hope to
see this brought about on June %.
Mr.. Taft's name has been favorably
received all over the state and the
attemp to belittle his candidacy has
only strengthened his cause. He has
had experience in the senate and
would preside over it with dignity
and grace. Above all, he has no de-
sire to use the office as stepping
stone to the governorship. If Mr..
Taft is elected to the office for which
he is a candidate, Vermont would
have one acknowledgement who
was not a candidate for governor.
This would be rare and desirable
feature in Vermont politics. By all
means let us make it Lieut. -Gov.
Taft.

A FEARFUL HOLOCAUS Il.

The calamity at Titusville and
Oil City, Pa, limited at in the Record
of the Week, proves to have been
fearful holocaust, the full extent of
which it is .not easy to realize at this
distance. Heavy storms raised the
streams and the region was swept
by food. Then engine sparks fell
upon several oil refneries, setting
them on fire, and the burning oil
burstits bounds and rushed through
the fated towns, leaving death and
destruction in its wake Nearly
three hundred lives were lost, and
the property destroyed was valued
at from $1,5OO,OOO to 100000.
Whole families persisted in some in
stances-parents and children
drowned in the raging waters or
caught by the blazing fluid. Desola-
ton spread over miles of territory,
and the disaster sends a thrill of hor-
ror over thewhole country. Aside from
the long death list is the longer roll of
injured, many of whom are terribly
wounded and burned, so much so as
to make recovery matter of serious
doubt. Water, land and air were
literally ablaze, and there was no
escape for the hapless victims.
Certainly the year 1892 has been
prolific thus far in a large number
of appalling calamities. Perhaps the
dark record of the past five months,
taking the world over, has never
been surpassed. Disasters have fol-
lowed each other, thick and fast,
food and fire doing their deadly
work with alarming frequency.

scoundrel on the board and ought to
be in the penitentiary today. Con-
corning his arrest the New York Times
says: "This is another attempt, with
the aid of a Tammany police justice,
to intimidate those who, in the pull
pit or the press, venture to denounce
the iniquities of those in power.
Such tactics will do them no good"
Mr.. Dixon will be remembered by
many of our ST. Johnsbury readers
as one of the lecturers in our Y. M. c.
A. course two seasons ago. His SUBJ
iect was Backbone" and his recent
pulpit utterances give evidence that
he has plenty backbone left.

DR.. GAGE IS COMING.

DIR. o. C GAGE, of Concord, N H, the
successful Specialist for all difficult diseases,
whose cures have created such an interest in
his peculiar method of treating disease, by
the use of harmless vegetable remedies, can
be consulted free of charge, as follows:
Newport House. Tuesday, June IA, till noon.
Barton. Crystal Lake, Tues, IA, afternoon.

If sick be sure and DIR. Gage, for he has
superiors in the treatment of chronic all
ments, and many of his methods are of his
own invention. For example, his great dis
covery for the painless treatment and cure of
bleeding and protruding piles is not pos
sessed by any other physician living, and he
guarantees a cure, or charges nothing, in
every such case, no matter of how long
standing, how much they have been
treated by other specialists. Dr. Cages

THE GoVERNORsHIP QUESTION.

Since the withdrawal ofCol. Frank
lin Fairbanks of St. Johnsbury from
the gubernatorial contest there has
been a steady and unmistakable
leaning among the republicans
in this section towards the Brattle
boro candidate, and we believe that
Col. Levi K Fuller has a strong fol-
lowing in Caledonia county. The
movement has been steadily gaining
ground all over the state; he has
been recognized as the leading candl-
date from the start, and is now the
only candidate with any considera-
BILE following.
1t must not have escaped the no.
tice of our readers that the columns
of this paper have been free from any
such scurrilous attacks upon Col.
Fuller as some of our contemporary
les have so freely INDUCED in. There
was more than enough Of this kind
of political warfare in the presiden-
tial campaign of 1884 and in our
state campaign in 1890. We believe
that such talk only hurts the inhu-
ence of the papers which print it.
Col. Fuller is a man whose charac-
ter is above reproach; whose sue
cessful business methods are to be
commended; and whose candidacy
has been voluntarily espoused by
leading republicans all over the state.
We confidently expect to see him
nominated at Burlington June %,
and believe he will make a good
governor.

THE SITUAT TON.

Before the week closes. if not be-
fore the day closes, the country will
know, who is to be the republican
standard-bearer in the campaign.
1t looks now like Harrison or
Mckinley. We have never be-
lieved Mr.. Blaine was in the
race and have taken him at his
word that he was not a candidate.
We believe Mr. Blaine made a great
mistake when he resigned his cabinet
position. We are still for Benjamin
Harrison, a statesman both tried
and true.

ing paper. This transfer is brought
about as the result of desire for a
republican morning paper in Spring
field and the first move in connection
with the affair seems to have been
made by Col. Albert Clarke, of the
Home Market club. The republicans
of that section will no doubt appre-
ciate having an energetic morning
paper devoted to the principles of
that party.

to tunnel the Hudson river, New York
and the East river. The Pennsylvania
railroad is interested in the scheme,

tunnels are to be twenty-six feet in
diameter, to be lighted by electricity,
and the same motive power will
probably be used. The estimate of
the cost of the tunnel has been
placed away up in the millions of
dollars, and it will take several years
