SETTLED THE RIGHT WAY.

The decision of the Worlds Fair
directorate, that the gates shall not
hereafter be open on Sunday, will be
very gratifying to that great null
titude of people who, believing that
open gates would be discredit to the
nation from moral point of view,
have urged upon the management a
proper respect for the Sabbath.
notwithstanding the claims OF the
advocates of Sunday opening, that
the barring Of the gates would de-
prive the masses of much-needed
educational opportunities, and that
the working-people were clamorlng
for these advantages, Sunday open
ing has proved a failure so far as
large and paying crowds are con-
cerned; and peculiar feature of the
case has been that the foreign ex-
hibitors, most of whom have been
looked upon as quite in favor OF Sun
day shows, have persisted in closing
their exhibits on that day and thus
contributed to the disappointment
of the Sunday visitor.
The vote by which the final deci-
sion of the directors was expressed,
"a to 4, shows a radical change OF
sentiment on their part. They
evidently became convinced that 1t
would not pay, either from moral
or material point of view, to run
Sunday fair in direct opposition to
the wishes of Christian people all
over the country; and, being con-
WINGED, lost no time in owning up.
1t is worthy of special note, too,
that this emphatic Sunday closing
vote is taken after the courts had
seen fit to give their sanction to the
opposite course as touching the
financial transaction between con-
gress and the directorate and the
dispatch giving the news closed by
saying that latter the vote the
directors adjourned evidently well
pleased with their work."
Last Fridays action was victory
for the Sabbath-shall we disturb
any of our contemporaries if we call
it the American" as opposed to the
Continental" Sabbath land it
will be pleasantly received all over
the country as settling this matter
the right way.

LETTER FROM CONCORD.

Formal Opening of the Hotels at the
Weirs-The Rush TO the Mountains
and Other Northern Resorts in full
Blast.
Especial Correspondence of the CALIFORNIAN
CONCORD, N. H., July 10.-The great
event of the season in this vicinity was
the formal opening of the hotels at the
Weirs on the 4th inst. Special trains
were run from Manchester and this city
bv the c. & NJ. r. X. at remarkably low
rates. The day was perfect and the at
tendance large, there being over $4,000
persons present. Everything at the
Weirs was in readiness, and this I'M
mense throng was cared for in most
credititable and satisfactory manner
The exercises of the day were extremely
interesting, closing with a magnificent
display of fireworks in the evening. The
best of order prevailed throughout the
day. This multitude of people was di-
vided into many parts and parties, but
the greater number awaited themselves
of the opportunities offered by the several
steamers of visiting Marlborough Center
Harbor, Long Island Lakeside Park and
the many other attractive points on the
lake.
A more charming place than the Wers,
with its excellent hotels, steamboats,,
yachts and row-boats, cannot be found
in New England, and the rapidly in
creasing number of pleasure seekers who
yearly visit this popular resort attests
to the fact that it is soon to become one
of the leading summer resorts of New
England.
The rush to the White Mountains is
now in full blast, and Judging from the
crowded trains which pass through this
city bound for the mountains and other
summer resorts in northern New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Maine one would
scarcely believe that there was worlds
fair being held in Chicago. People are
acting sensibly in this respect. They are
not going to rob themselves of the COM
forts of these oldtime and incompatible
resorts during these scorching summer
days. There will be plenty of time to
visit the fair later in the season when the
temperature will be much more conducive
to comfort and the fares will be much
lower
T. A. Mackinnon, the general manager
of the c. & M. r. R., so well and favor
ably known to your readers, is doing
much to induce tourists to visit the pop
ular resorts of northern New England,
by issuing extremely low rates to nearly
all the popular resorts. The road was
never before so well managed and
equipped as at the present time, and
with these low rates and continued
warm weather l predict more than the
average number of people will visit our
New England summer resorts this season,
notwithstanding the attractions at
Chicago. r.

THAT HIGHWAY TAX.

1t will be remembered that the
new highway law passed at the last
session of the legislature provided
for the levying, ION the list, polls
and ratable estate of the inhabitants
of this state" of five per cent tax,
which, after being paid into the
state treasury by the several towns,
was to be re-apportioned and dis
tributed by the state treasurer to
the towns, on road-mieage basis,
the amount to be used in each town
for the improvement of the high
ways.
Some figures recently issued from
State Treasurer Fields office give an
idea of how this feature of the new
law is going to work, and it will
be seen that the net financial results
to some of the towns will be very ap-
probable, the larger towns especially
contributing rather extensively of
thei. wealth to build up the high
ways of the smaller.
Taking Caledonia county, for
instance, figures for say three towns
will show the precise working
of the new plan. St, Johnsbury' S
grand list is, in round numbers,
$40, $40; the amount Of highway
tax she will pay into the state
treasury is $2149,59, and her share
in the re-apportionment will be
1891 SO, With Danville, which ha.
the largest mileage record, the cast
is different; her state highway tax
will be $431 81, and the state will
refund to her $776,75. Hardwick i.
in a similar condition, though her
met income from this source will
not be quite as large; she will pay
state tax of $353.65, and receive b,
way of bounty $4S3,97, Anothe
striking instance Of this sort is tina
of Granville, in Addison county
whose state highway tax is $S2.43
and whose share in the refundin,
process will be $250.95.
The equalization feature of tn
new schemes becomes apparent
however, when we take into consid
Grafton the tax and the re-apportor
ment by counties. Thus, in Gale
donia the state tax figures up $6139
81, and the amount to be repaid t.
the towns therein is $6S35.3S. i

Gov. Altgeld Of Illinois has put
himself prominently before the
public by his recent pardon OF the
anarchists convicted of completely in
the Haymarket massacre at Chicago,
and is now getting further notoriety
by his aggressive attitude towards
all who had hand in the prosecu-
ton of the anarchists at that time.
The governor of Illinois-who, by
the way, was elected by the popu-
lists-may well subside. He can
gain nothing for himself or his
party by such foolishness as that in
which he is engaged. The defence Of
any such spirit as that which
prompted the butchery in Hay
market Square will be, and should
be, promptly condemned by every
lover of law and order.

Corbett and Mitchell.

New YORK, July 11.-Judge New
ton, representing the Coney Island
athletic club, and William A. Brady,
James J. Corbett's manager, met by
agreement at the Coleman House last
night to decide whether the cham
pionship contest between Corbett and
Mitchell would take place in the
East or West.
From the present outlook the fight
will take place on Coney Island.
Brady denies that Corbett ever signed
before the Columbian athletic club,
and says he will stick to the agree
ment Corbett signed with the Coney
Island club, no matter how high the
Chicago club will bid over the $40,-
600 offered by Judge Newton. All
that Brady wants is an assurance that
Mitchell will fight at Coney Island.

A HORRIBLE DISASTER.
Thirty Firemen Burned to Death in a
Fire at Chicago.

Fire at Chicago.
CHICAGO, July ia disastrous
conhagration occurred here yesterday
afternoon, which for a time threat
ened to wipe the White city out of
existence. The fire broke out in the
cold-storage warehouse just south of
the Sixty-fourth- street gate of the
Worlds fair. The fire started at the
top of the cupola, which rises fully
200 feet from the ground. As soon
as the firemen arrived thirty-five or
forty of them climbed up ladders to
the landing and were preparing to
throw streams of water on the burn
ing portion, when the fire, which had
eaten its way inside of the staff to a
point below where the firemen stood,
broke out with volcanic ferocity on
all sides. Exclamations OF horror
broke from the lips of the 10000
people who had gathered about the
building to see the fire. Five men
saved themselves by sliding down the
ropes, but before the others could
follow the fire burned away the
ropes. Those who remained huddled
together on the north side of the
cupola, which was beyond the reach
of any ladders, and the crowd stood
horror-striken and helpless to aid.
The flames leaped higher and higher
until the men were almost concealed
from view. At this moment one
fireman sprang far out and was
dashed to pieces on the roof sixty
/ feet below. Another and another,
crazed by the heat, followed his ex-
ample and met with the same fate.
When five men had jumped, the
upper portion of the cupola gave way
and the remaining firemen were
swallowed up in the mass of burning
timbers.
In the meantime every effort was
being made to extinguish the fire,
most of which was above the reach
OF the streams. The entire building
was destroyed. 1t cost quarter of a
million dollars and was stored with
wines, meats and fruits. The loss
will be half million. From fifty to
sixty firemen were injured and at
least thirty lost their lives. A short
time after the fire broke out between
fifty and seventy firemen were on the
roof of the building. Soon the roof
was seen to cave in some places and
many firemen on top fell to the
ground. Some still had a safe foot
ing, however, and ladders were put
up and an effort made to take them
down, but the fire was so hot that it
was almost sure death for those
below to attempt to mount the lad
ders to help their fellow firemen.
Some braved the terrible heat, how
ever, and succeeded in taking down
several men.
Inside of the grounds the flames
were confined to warehouse and the
stable.
The other Worlds fair buildings
were not damaged.
Had the wind been from the south
or west most of the fair buildings
would have been destroyed.
