Nine weeks ago Monday the Koesevile
stage began making regular trips to this
city. This long period OF crossing is uu-
precedcnted within the memory of the
oldest inhabitants The stage usually runs
between three and five weeks. The or oss
ing is still good the ice being from 10 to IS
inches in thickness.
The Burlington Beef company sent two
teams with four tons OF beef and provisions
across the lake to Port Kent Tuesday.
Panks were carried along to bridge the
cracks and in crossing one, the rear traverse
of one team broke through the ice just as it
left the planks and two barrels of hams
tumbled into the water. With ropes, how
ever, they were hauled out One OF the
Transfers remarked after he reached home
last evening that he would not make the
trip again for 500

Mr.. and Mrs T. p Fuller entertained a
number Of their friends, who spend their
summer outings at Thompsons Point with
them, at their home on Loomis street Saturday
evening. As the 10th anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Fuler's marriage is fast Apr oach-
ing the gentlemen, who, by the way, are
testers OF no small ability, thought it would
be good time to repay Mr.. Fuller for
some of his jokes. Tbs ladies considered
the idea capital one and tin hat and
cane were ordered. In the course of the
evening they were presented to the host.
After all had had q good laugh, Mr.. Fuller
responded in a few witty remarks.
"When James1B. Henderson, conductor
on the Burlington and Lamoille trains, and
Mike O'Day, OF tho Central division, meet,
it is a case Of diamond cut diamond, rs far
as practical joking is concerned" says the
Messenger. "Henderson thinks he is one
ahead now, however. lie met O'Day at
Essex Junction a day or two ego and hailed
him thusly: Mike, you are judge Of good
sugar, just taste of this which | got at Cam
bridge, at the same time displaying a very
handsome cake. Nike has sweet tooth,
and taking the cake started to bite big
piece out Of it, He shut his jaws his teeth
entered the cake of bees wax, and stuck
fast while a shout went up from the crowd
who were in the secret The Messenger is

tor OF the flyer, instead Of Michael O'Day.
| Conductor Cleveland was also given taste
OF tho same sugar" and now "Jim" tell,
every railroad man he meets that Poweri
and Cleveland have made application to be
appointed sugar inspectors.

William Ducomb of Ohio, the contractor
who is erecting the Pine street school house,
has been in the city for the past few days
looking after some business matters prepar-
atory to resuming work on the building.
1t is understood that while Mr.. Ducomb
has not gone into insolvency his business af-
fairs are in such peculiar shape that they
are causing him some embarrassment. He
expects to shortly effect settlement with
his creditors. lie owes about $4,000 In this

TALLY constructed school house. This will
probably not interfere in any way with the
carrying out Of all his contracts or other

The Republicans in the House are dane
ing the scalp dance around the bier of JOHN
DAVENPORT. and trying to breathe the
breath Of life into that miserable carcass.
1t is a sweet sight to see the one great
issue that can unite the Republican party.
The Democrats arc in this fight till tho
Republicans throw up the sponge. The
Democratic partyi is pledged to wipe out the
Federal Election laws. and it will not stop
until the whole infamous system Of Federal
Interference and bulldoging at tho polls Is
destroyed. The time of the spies and bull
lies who have fourished under these laws Is
up. The bayonet as n vote-counting ma
chine Is played out.
The Democrats will fight upon this theme
until Tom REEDS forehead reaches to his
heels. Neither clustering nor filibustering
can long prevent the Democrats from
purging the statute books OF these election
laws. and restoring to the people the power
OF conducting their elections without in
reference.
The people decided last fall that tho Fed
eral election laws must be repealed. Will

question OF cost he declares that 1.-THE
yearly expenses Of a bronze ship would be
| greatly reduced. owing to the saving In the
amount OF coal necesl sary to obtain the same
speed. and also to tile fact that IL would not

and Repairs will probably recommend the
early building OF u bronze steam cutter as
an experiment.
Tho rusting Of the lsteel hulls. especially
in tropical waters. has been one OF the
drawbacks OF our modern fleet. Not only
are the plates badly pitted. but where the
rust sets in vegetable and animal growths
promptly follow. and the fouling Of the
bottom makes high speed impossible. Our
crack cruisers when Thus impeded crawl
along at less than hhH their maximum
rate. Docking and scraping is the remedy,
but the frequency with which it has to be
resorted to. in spite OF all sorts Of anti-foul-
ing paints and lacquens which have been
tried on the steel hulls. adds serious ex-
pense and the vessels may he cruising where
there are no dry docks available. The Bos-

olulu for many months. will when relieved
by the Philadelphia. be a long time on tho
way home in consequence of her dirty hull;
and when locked at Understandable may be
found in sad condition.
Another obstacle against sheatmng hulls
besides the increased cost has BEEN the in-
creased weight which has to DO moved by
the same engine power; although it has
been strongly urged that. after all. these
objections are moro than counterbalanced
by the greater quantities,of fuel needed to
produce good speed with an unsheathed
bottom. with the chance that such speed
cannot be had at all when required in an
emergency.
Such Is the problem on,which new light
is now thrown by the performances OF
the bronze yacht Vigiant 1t is pretty
safe to expect that before long the navy
will at least have bronze cutter OF its own
with which to experiment. so as to study its
resistance to erosion and also the question
whether any galvanic action OF consequence
is set up by the plan OF using bronze plat
