The Iron Hall.

BOSTON, Aug. 2.-The Globe publishes
an interview with Joseph j. Giles on
the subject of areceivership for the order
of the Iron Hall. Mr., Giles was repre-
sentative in the legislature during the
past two sessions and served upon the
insurance committee. Regarding the
story telegraphcd from Indianapolis he
says: sit is either canard set up by old
line insurance companies in the hope of
stampeding the members of the Iron
Hall, or it may be a scheme, which /
would not approve, to invite criticism
and court investigation to rebound to
the prosperity of the organization, show
ing it to be in perfectly sound and
solvent condition"

 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-The stea mer Oceanic just arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama brings news that cholera is raging to an alarming extent at Fanchow, China. Hundreds of people are dying daily.
 Haters of foreigners have spread the ma licious report that some of the Chinese are travelling around in the pay of Euro, peans poisoning all the wells, thereby causing the great number of deaths.
 Consequently all strangers are impris- oned and many have had their heads cut off and their entrails and hearts thrown into the river.
 Gifu, Japan, the scene of the great earthquake last October, had another seismic visitation on Sep. 14 which gave the inhabitants a great scare. It was not, however, attended with loss of life and other than the cracking of walls and de- stroying of furniture and crockery nc damage was done.
 The ground cracked in many places the wells became muddy and water spurted out in some instances, while in others the wells almost dried up

CHARLES G. ROOT FOR SENATOR.
 Hon Charles G. Roots letter to the chairman of the democratic town com mittee is but the formal expression of what he had already stated to his friends and many of the delegates to the representative convention. As a member of the present general assembly Representative Root has received favor able mention from the state press, re- gardless of politics, for his ability. He was leader of whom Waterbury feels proud. During the early days of the session, when the excitement was at its height, Attorney Root of all the leaders of the house best kept his temper, and his advice was sought at every step
 While knowing that his reasons for declining gre-nomination are the best, we cannot but feel that his retirement from the general assembly would be a great loss to the party. As senator from the fifth district Mir Roots sphere of usefulness would be enlarged. He has been urged to become candinate by delegates to the convention from several of the towns of the district and if Waterbury only says the word the nomination will be made unanimous, and, we believe, MT Root will accept.

"I have eaten apples that ripened more than eighteen hundred years ago, brea d made from wheat grown before the children of Israel passed through the Red sea. spread it with butter that was made when Elizabeth was queen of England, and washed down the repast with wine that was old when Columbus was playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa" was the remarkab blc statement made by New York broker. "The re- markable spread was given by an antiquary named Gcobcl, in the city of Brussels, in 1871. The apples were from an earthcn jar taken from the ruins of Pompcii, that buried city to whose people we owe our knowledge of canning fruit. The wheat was taken from a chamber in one of the smaller pyramids, the butter from stone shelf in an old we'll in Scotland, where for centuries it had lain in an carthcn crock in icy water and the wine was recovered from an old vault in the city of Corinth. There were six guests at the table. and each had q mouthful of the bread and a tcaSpoonful of the wine. but was permit led to help him self libNruiiv to the batter, there being several pounds of it. The apple jar held about tNo-th.rI, of q gallon, and the fruit was aS sweet and the flavor as fine as though put up ycstrr,lay."- St. Louis Gl0hc-D,lnu"rat.

TIE New York X New England has engaged a great deal of attention in the stock market for the past week or two There has been a heavy buying move ment, but for what reason is not clear, although there have been many stories. There has been no apparent reason for the advance, but it is nevertheless pretty we'll understood that deal is under way which will be to the advantage of the property. When Charles Parsons was elected president of the New Eng land, he assumed a great responsibility. The road was in desperate financial straits and harassed by powerful mimi cal interests. If MT Parsons has found way for the road out of its difficulties, as is intimated, he has accomplished what others have failed in doing and is entitled to great credit.

Order Out of Chaos.

The recent hanging of the Virginia dcsperado, Talton Hall, has brought into prominence a remarkable little town called Big Stone Gap, situated among the mountains, twenty miles from Wise Court House. It furnished the courageous judge who tried Hall, eight of the jury who convicted him, and the captain and two-thirds of the guard that saw his sentence executed
 Three years ago Big Stone Gap was the worst spot in this bad region. It was settled then by young blue grass Ken tdckians and eastern Virginlans, turin CTS, as the mountain people call them. They represent the best blood in both states, and most of them are graduates of the three big eastern colleges and one southern university. It was the habit of ''toughs" to come into the town and gallop through the streets, firing their pistols right and left, while the storekeepers shut up shop and went to the woods. These young Kentucll- ians and Virginians settled at Big Stone Gap, organized themselves into a volun- teer police force, equipped with revol- vers, billics and whistles They fought the toughs with Winchesters and pistols, and for time street fights came daily
 They maintained the law, however. To-day n whistle anywhere in town, at any hour of the night or day, will bring dozen men to the spot in as many minutes. It is the one place in all the Cumberland range where a feud or fight is now impossible-the one place where the law is enforced with Spartan sternness, and in which there reigns the peace of a Quaker town.
