BARON REINACH. held to prove that
the baron did not commit suicide.
1t has been more than limited that
Baron de Reiuach was put out of the
way by those who feared that his evil
dence might implicate them in the scan
dial If true that the poison was in his
stomach eight hours before his death
there would be good reason to bslieve
this charge Is true, for, on the night OF
the baron's death he, NJ. Rouvier and
NJ. ClemeDceau attempted to secure a
cessation of the newspaper attacks that
were being ma de upon him and it is
not ut all probable that had Reinach
contemplated suicide he would have
gone to the trouble to attempt to stop
attacks that in few hours would have
been nothing to him and neither would
he have displayed such deep feeling as
to the result of these attacks.
There is no denying the fact that
some of those implicated in the scandal
would have felt greatly relieved If Rel
mach were dead and beyond giving evil
dencc that would besmirch their here
tofore good names.
The fact that the baron's death was
linked to the saddcn and mysterious
deaths of two other men who were cog
infant of the bribery of legislators
gives added strength TO the demand OF
the baron's family that an inquiry be
held to place the responsibility for his
death where it belongs.
lie Gaulois has an interview to-day
with N. Andricux, former project OF
police. who associated the baron's death
with the attempt two years ago to poi
son DIR. Herr.
The Panama canal investigating com.
mittee has decided to dispense with the
documents in the possession of the gov
eminent in the cases of Charles de
Lcsseps and Marius Fontainc because
they throw no light on the bribery of
deputies and their use By the commits
sion might invalidate the prosecution
by the government.

SOLDIERS ROUTED.
Mexican Troops Routed In Battle With

| Mexican Troops Routed In - Battle with
the Revnluttonists.
LAREDO, Tex, Dec. aS.-A report is
current here that battle took place
near Las Animas, Mexico, east of Guer-
zero, between 800 Mexican troops and
$50 revolutionists, in which thirteen
soldiers were killed and many wounded
and several of the revolutionsts were
also killed and wounded. The report
says the revolutionists were commanded
by Gen. Estrada and the Mexican troops
by Gen. Garcia. 1t is not known
whether or not the report is true, but
Garcia, of the Mexican rurals, arrived
in New Laredo with seven wounded
Mexican soldiers
Later-News report Of the battle
above mentioned has been confirmed
and says the Mexican troops were
routed. 1t says the town of Guerrero
is now in danger of being captured by
the revolutionists Many of the Mex
lean soldiers are hocking to the stand
ard of the revolutionists and its forces
are rapidly becoming augmented by
such recruits
The revolution is assuming more
serious aspect than it was thought it

CONGRESS BEHIND.
Rsviow OF What Has Been Done and what
Has to 80 Done.

L
Has to Be Done.
WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-The present
session of the Fifty-second congre s. ID
not quite up to the ante-holiday record
of the short session of the Fifty-first
congress. The house has so far passed
the army bill and only the Notifications
bill has been reported. When the holi.
day recess of the Fifty-first congress
was taken the army and the navy bills
had been reported and the fertilization
and pension bills had been passed, be-
side deficiency bill carrying with it
an appropriation of almost $500, 900.
Immediately on the assembling of the
senate after the recess the army bill
will be reported and called up at an
early day. The total amount of this
bill as it passed the house was ss4, 197,-
$50 with an estimate of e25, 922, 955.
The bill was sent to the secretary Of
war and the action of the senate in
upon the report made to the
committee by the war depart
ment. In the appropriations for the
ordnance department the house has al
lowed even more than the estimates
called for, this being due to the urgent
appeals made by the chief of that divis-
ion to the committee. 1t was shown
that the ordnance department has been
subsisting for years upon the left over
stock from the late war and that the
surplus has been entirely used up
The appropriations committee will
probably reverse its usual order of
bringing forward the appropriation
bills and get two OF the heaviest annual
bills-the sundry civil and Legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
measures-into the house early in the
session, leaving the pension and
deficiency bills to bring up the rear.
The Notifications bill has already been
reported and the District of Columbia
bill should be ready the first week
after it reassembles, although Mr..
Dockcry, of Missouri, who has it in
charge, has already found that his lot
lis not happy one" 1t was expected
to report the bill before any other of
the regular appropriation measures, but
n large number of local officers and 9TH
ers came forward to show why the knife
of economy should not be used to pare
projects in which they were interested,
and the holiday recess found the bill
still in the hands of the committee
However, its preparation will be COM
plete in season to be taken up by the
house immediately after the fortifca-
ton bill is acted upon. The sundry civil
bill will reach the house during the
latter part of January and the legisla-
tive about the close of the month. The
pension bill. in the number of its items,
is small and can be quickly prepared,
but the subcommittee has not yet
shown any signs of getting to work on
it and probably desires TO wait as long
as practicable in order to get the very
latest information rs to the work of adj
Indication of pension claims AID the
amount of money needed.

As soon as the fire broke out some one
went To West Brattleboro, as we under
stand, and teephoned the fact to this place.
An alarm was also pulled in from box -
on Western avenue at ? o clock. On hear
ing the alarm the fremen promptly as
sembled at the Elliot street engine-house
and the hose cart of steamer No. 8 was
soon on its way, drawn by the big horse
used for that purpose, and in charge of
Assistant Engineer Smith. No horses
were at hand to draw the steamer, and
none arrived until 20 minutes past two,
when pair of StOckwelns horses, at work
drawing stone on Western avenue, finally
put in an appearance, and the machine
started two or three minutes afterward.
When the steamer got as far as ID. s. Pratt
it was sent back, as it then could be of
no use
The long delay which was thus caused,
the engine standing in the house, with the
men waiting for 20 minutes, while the fire
burned, has stirred up great deal of talk,
abuse and criticism. The facts are that
there was no one at the engine house in
authority, except j. Retting, jr., who was
acting as foreman of steamer company
No. 3, in the absence of the foreman, Chief
Engineer Turner having gone directly to
given, Smith going with the hose company,
as already stated, and no other assistant
being at hand. As none of Stockwelrs
horses appeared to draw the machine, Ret
ting held that, in his position, and the fire
being outside the village limits, he had no
authority to take or hire any other horses,
and he thought it would be useless to start
out the engine by hand.
Without attempting to settle any minor
points of complaint or criticism, the real
trouble appears to be that there was a screw
loose with regard to having a pair of
StOckwell's horses near at hand. In this
particular case the fire was not only out
side the village limits, but within 10 min
utes from the time the bolt struck the
buildings, no fire apparatus could have
done any good. 1t might easily happen,
however, that a fire would be in some
elevated part of the village where delay
of five minutes in starting the engine
would be fatal, so far as saving the prop
erty is concerned. The agreement with
Mr.. StOckwell is to pay him 500 year
for the use of his horses and furnish stable
room in the engine house. The main ben
eft of this arrangement is for fires in the
night when the horses would be close at
hand, the understanding being that the
horses shall be used about the village dur
ing the day. If, however, we are to have
the full benefit of our supposed modern
fire department and equipment we must go
a step farther and have the horses always
within easy reach, and Col. Hooker, as
chairman of the board of bailiffs, author
ICES us to say that hereafter the arrange

VIOLATED THE PROHIBITION Law.
Several Persons Sell or Give Away CT
der and In Consequence Pay Fines

Three of the employees of f. NJ. Waite
Solomon La Voucher, Walter Simonds
and George Leavitt-reaChed more or less
advanced stages of intoXication on Fri
day, and ran their horses while the wagons
were loaded, and La Voucher gave an ex-
hibition of pugilism. La Voucher was
arraigned before Justice Newton Saturday,
when he pleaded guilty to a second offence
of intOXication and was fined $40 and costs.
He disclosed on several places where he
obtained cider. The evidence against the
other two men was not sufficient to war
rent prosecution. On Tuesday Justice
Newton, States Attorney Hit and Officer
Mcclure accompanied by Messrs. Waite and
Smonds for witnesses, visited the places
where it had been stated that the cider was
procured as the men came down.
Fred Ellis, who lives with Frank Morse
in DummerstOn, was first seen. Mr.. Morse
said that whatever the boy did he (Morse)
was responsible for, as he directed him.
Simonds bought from them pitcher of
cider, for which he was to pay - cents the
following day They did not understand
that they were committing an offence. The
minimum fine Of - and costs was imposed
and paid.
Dana Luce Of Marlboro was next visited.
He pleaded not guilty but at the hearing
which was held it appeared that Simonds.

MISS WILKINs's HOME.

Mrs. Kate Epson Clark is contributing
to the Ladies Home journal series of
papers on Literary Women in their
Homes and Mary +. wilkins furnishes
the theme for the paper in the August
number Mrs. Clark writes: Miss wilkins
has known much of sorrow. The pathos
which she infuses into her stories could not
be so genuine unless she herself had suf-
fered. One after another during the first
years of her writing, her father, mother''and
only sister died. She lived with them in
the beautiful village of Brattleboro, Yer
mont, but she has resided since their death
in Randolph, Mass, with friends, whose
love and devotion could scarcely be greater
if they were connected with her by ties of
blood.
Her two pretty rooms in the simple
white house in which she lives in Randolph
are full of her own quaint personality.
The first is furnished in terra Gotta. The
second, in which is a wide, old-fashioned
hearth before an open fire, is in old blue.
Near the hearth stands desk in colonial
style, with brass hinges and locks; also a
couch with Bagdad rug thrown over it.
A Madagascar rug forms the pOrtiere be-
tween the two apartments. Old decanters,
candle-sticks, pewter plates, and other
memorabilia of ''ye Olden time" nearly all
of which have come down to Miss wilkins
by inheritance, abound on every side. In
the terra Gotta room stands a pretty desk
of bOg-oak, surrounded by Hindoo relics.
81 suppose" wrote Miss wilkins to a
friend when she was just settled in her
new home, THAT my blue room is one of
the queerest looking places that you ever
saw. You should see the people when
they cometO call. They look doubtful in
the front room, but say it is pretty when
they get out here they say the rooms look

COL. FULLER WINS HIS CASE.

In 1890 Col. Levi X. Fuller invented an
improvement in the manufacture of piano
and organ keys, and wrote to the key fac
tory in Boston explaining his invention,
and directing that keys be made in accord
ance with the terms of his letter and sent
to him. Sometime afterward Col. Fuller
filed an application for patent for his in
vention, when he learned that A. II. Ham
mOnd of Worcester, Mass, had filed an APP
plication for patent for the same thing.
An interference case and contest resulted
and the matter has just reached decision
in the patent Office. The evidence intro
duced by Col Fuller, corroborated by the
letters of Hammond to the Boston key
manufacturer and others, tended to show
that soon after the receipt of Col. Fuller's
letter Mr. Hammond called at the Office of
the Boston key manufacturer and from him
learned of the contents of the letter and
the invention of Col. Fuller that later,
when the keys were constructed in accord
ance with the terms of the letter, Mr.. Ham
mOnd visited the mandatory and saw
some perfected keys, learned all particulars
concerning the invention, and at once pro-
ceeded to apply for patent. From the
evidence adduced from witnesses and the
letters of Mr.. Hammond it was claimed by
counsel for Col. Fuller that there was an
attempt at conspiracy to rob him of his in
yention. The commissioner of patents has
just made an award in favor of Col. Fuller.

FIre Alarm Points.

Within five minutes after the alarm was
rung in from box 45 second alarm was
rung in from the same box. We are asked
to say that to pull second alarm, for the
same fire, should never be done under any
circumstances. To do so is confusing and
misleading, and is of no possible use in
hurrying the department.
Further than this it is a mistake to pull
an alarm for fire outside the village linn
its. In such a case it rests with the chief
engineer to give an alarm, in his discretion n,
and no individual should do it without his
order
These are two points which the public
are urged to understand and keep in mind.
