Poison In the Pond.

KINGSTON, 8, c., May l2.-The discoY-
cry that some deadly drug or chemical
compound had been thrown into pond
on the premises of William Whine, on
the outskirts of the city, killing hun
dreds of fish and endangering the lives
of a number ofcitizens living in the yicin-
ity, has caused considerable excitement
here.
Mr.. Winneis prosperous farmer, and
upon his land is large private pond,
stocked with many species of fish. Yes
terday hundreds of goldfish, bullheads
and other fish we're found floating on top
of the water or lying dead along the
banks. A COW pasturing in the lot in
which the pond is situated, which drank
of the water, became sick, and, it is be-
lieved, will die.
Recent rains caused the pond to over
flow and run into spring from which a
great many families procure water for
drinking purposes. At least twenty per-
SOUS who have thus used the water be-
came sick, Several n1en working on
Boice's stone yard at noon yesterday
drank of the water from the spring, and
were suddenly taken sick. Members OF
Mr.. Wipne's family also used water from
the spring, and are suffering from its ef-
feyts.
People living in the vicinity have
been notified of the state of affairs, and
told to use no more Of the water. A
quantity has been secured for the pur-
pose OF analysis, and All examination Of
some of the dead fish will be made. Mr..
Whine has incurred the enmity of some
anglers because he would not grant them
permission to fish in tho pond, and has
concluded that they poisond the pond
for revenge. The police are making a
thorough Investigation.

The cut worms are cutting corn, cotton

Mrs. John Tate was badly burned on
her hands and face by an accidental ex-
plosion Of powder on Monday, 9th inst.
She is improving, and we hope she will
soon be alright again.
The school at this place, taught by Miss
Lena Campbell, closed Thursday, the 11th
inst. The children were very agreeably
surprised by the teacher, when she treated
at the close of school. A prize had been
offered to the one who made the best
record In department. 1t was awarded to
Misses Bessie Cowan, Bessie Emmerson
and Master Ralph Pennel, all of whom
had the same average. On last Saturday
the school pic niced at Martins Spring,
near here. The time was passed In differ
ent amusements, and the children, as we'll
as their parents and teacher, enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent. at
o'clock dinner was announced and only
those that partook of 1t can know what o
nice dinner the good ladies of the crowd
had prepared. A day spent 80 pleasantly
will be remembered by all who were
there. The boys played base ball in the
afternoon with the Meals Creek Club.
We regret losing Miss Lena, now that the
school has closed and she has gone home.
The patrons and pupils were we'll pleased
with her, and we believe she does her
duty in the school room.
Our Sunday School has been reorgan-
ized, and everybody that is interested

zsIn answer to an enquiry FROM the
Anditor OF this County the Assistant
Attorney General has decided that per-
'sonal property belonging to towns and
snities is liable for taxation. The letter Of
the law may warrant the decision. but
nnbroken precedent from the time to
which athe memory Of man runneth not
:tc|the contrary will not justify it. The
personal property OF most municipalities
;consists Of mules and wagons to work the
streets for the benefit Of sll who may
travel them, and Of fire engines and ap-
sparntus for the protection OF all property
within their reach. It requires tax on
THE, ,sitizens Of the interpretations to SECURE

an .epairs. We think the spirit of the
;laWT OF the State never contemplated
sjsVying q tax on public property used for
;theipublic good. Even "reSorm" didn't
demand it, unless it was to give fresh
s1idence that these be "record breaking"

At their own Game.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Hundreds OF
circulars have been distributed of late
in Eastern Pennsylvania by New York
green goods men who made the custo-
mary marvellous offers intended to excite
the avarice Of the unwary. Among those
who received the circulars was James
Gillespie, q commercial collector from
Freeland, Pa. Gillespie had received
such circulars before, and had nommuni-
Gated with the dealers, but not until
last Friday did he haye any serious in
tention of acquainting himself with the
game:
structions, he opened up telegraphic
correspondence on Thursday and it
resulted in his going to Newark yester-
day.
He had meantime taken a confederate
into his confidence. Ib was agreed that
Gillespie should put up $500 and receive
in return 81 900 In crisp notes. Along
with what little money be took with him
Gillespie carried 9 revolver. When he
and his confederate arrived in Newark
they mot the green goods men as agreed
upon and were driven in hack for flf-
teen minutes before they reached ques-
tionable looking hotel.
Iu6I6 tuoy dh6dtooi oAo CAo VIZ "S1S
met by another man, who conducted
them to room. A nicely wrapped bum
die of notes was produced for inspection.
1t represented $1,000. The man who con-
Quoted them to the room appeared sud-
denly from another room. 1t was part of
the game to distract the attention of the
purchasers. Gillespie OWNED the scheme
correctly, and, instead of taking his eyes
from the package, he took a firm hold of
it and produced his own wad which con-
tanned less than S29. This he offered to
the dealers,
The green goods confederate tried to
work the flim-fsm in exchanging. the
bundle for spurious notes, Instead, he
found himself gazing into the barrel of q
looking revolver, while his as
sistant was likewise covered. Seeing that
the game was up, the green goods mon
made dash for the door,
Gillespie and his companion escaped
through window, taking with them the
money as we'll as q roll Of bogus notes
which the green goods men had dropped.
Gillespie later exhibited both rolls.
