The Findings of the CorOner's Jury I'm
Regard to the Dover Disaster

Regard to the Dover Disaster.
The coronor's jury at Dover, n. H., re-
ports that the fire was evidently started by
Mrs. LaFountaine, who in some way OBJ
tanned match and ignited her bed. The
paltry sum appropriated for the asylum
made adequate protection against fire i'm
possible. The people connected with the
institution did all in their power to extin-
guish the flames and save the inmates.
The report says:
"a mistaken Judgment erects our ams-houses
remote from the centres of population; false
economy crowds our helpless insane into wooden
structures which almost invite the devouring
element but the black bordered page of our
country's history, written on February g. by lurid
flames as they wrapped these two SC re victims
in their fendish embrace, is an indictment against
our people, to which there is no answer
The jury therefore finds that the victims
came to their death by misfortune. The
Manchester Union has investigated the
other county almshouses of the state and
finds that in them there is great danger of
a repetition of the Dover disaster.

etc. studied our importations with ref
erence to the tariff. The Boston Courier
in its market reports set the rates of duty
over every article in the list, which made
it easy to run the eye up from the quota
tions to the customs duties, and thus
knew the duty on everything, as | would
know the price of every article in our
stores. At that time Russian iron was

Northwestern railroad will elevate all it's
tracks within the city limits of Chicago at
an expense of S24,OOO,OOO. The plans
provide for the elevation of ~ miles first

track. The company estimates that the

the amount it is now compelled to pay an

A whisper of Spring.

When winters SHOWS are over all,p
And winters chill is in the air,
How like fairy land it seems,
with frost-work written everywhere.
But winters charms must soon give way
To rarer beauties of the spring,
With buds and blossoms, sun and showers,
Which in their turn the seasons bring.
We hail thee, Spring, with glad delight,
Thy coming thrills the heart with joy;
Thy gentle breath we long TO feel,
To open wide each slumbering flower.
Though oft thy praises have been sung,
To thee we win this tribute pay;
The gladdest season of the year.
The joyous springs one golden day.

A $40, 900 Bank Failure in Pennsyl-
VanlR.

F.V Rockafellow {; Co.'s banking in
stitution at Wilkesbare, Pa, has gone to
the wall, with liabilities of about $40, 900.
OF this amount 100000 is due S57 depos-
ors, $4,000 to the city of Wilkesbarre,
and $4,000 to other banks. Only 10 cents
on the dollar will be paid. The inquiry in
to the condition of the affairs of the bank
shows that it has been insolvent for a
score or more of years. Rockafellow real
lied 10 years ago that he would have to go
to the wall. He insured his life heavily in
favor of the creditors. If he died the
creditors would win; if he lived and the
bank continued to fall behind the creditors
were bound to lose.
