LEBANON, April 6.-The large plant of
the East Lebanon Iron Company is a mass
of ruins. The fire, which broke out near
the engine room, spread so rapidly that by
the time the fire department arrived the
entire establishment was in flames, aus

Philadelphia and Reading cars, which were
standing on the siding adjoining the mill
were burned, nothing remaining but the

IT CAUSED SURPRISE IN BOSTON.
What is Said There of President Mcleod.
Resignation.

hANANA
BosroN, April 6.-The Boston News
Bureau SAYS the resignation Of President
Mcleod from the Reading is received with
some surprise in Boston. Philadelphia dis
patches say that Mr.. NeLeod's efforts to
raise money for the Reading nave been
met at every step "by the adverse influence
of ]. Pierpont Morgan"
Mr.. Mcleod said two weeks ago in Bos-
ton that he could remain a receiver of the
Reading, but 1t meant two or three years
of very trying work, and he doubted if he
was physically able to manage the Reading
and give attention to the Boston and Main
and New York and New England. He said
Reading would come all right in the end,
and he believed in the property as much as
ever, but personally he preferred the New
England field, and eventually he thought
he might give his full attention to the New
England route.
We understand that Mr.. Mcleod has re-
relieved the Reading Of all it's interests in
the New England field and that the recent
statement from New York that the Reading
had given its notes for Sc, 900, 600 in con-
nection with the Boston and Maine and
New York and New England purchases is
absolutely untrue.

rHE COTTON MILL pRoJECT.


TIE TIMES has very few words to say
to the public regarding the cotton mill
meeting at the Academy OF Music to-
night at O'Clock.
In the first place these words are not
directed at anyone who proposes to at
tend They are directed at that con-
siderable class who for various reasons
may have concluded to stay away.
Are you satisfied with your own con-
dition, your fortune and the condition
OF Roanoke to day?
Do you want the city to remain at a
standstill?
We infer thata vigorous ''No" will be
made to these two questions.
Are you willing to interest yourself
in movement for the good OF the city
and for your own good? Or are you
willing to stand back like a charity
patient and have others work for you?
You arc willing to work for the good
OF the city and do not want Others to
lift when you are able. You say this.
Then turn out to the Academy OF
Music to night. There will be no solicit
ing OF subscriptions.

for conspiring against the Ann Arbor
railroad, came up for hearing. T. w.
Harper, OF Terre Haute, counsel for the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
moved to dismiss the case as to Grand
Master Sargent on the grounds that the
court had no jurisdiction over him, he
being resident Of Indiana and the in
terstate commerce law providing that a
person shall not be sued unless he is
o resident Of the district where the suit
is brought. The court thereupon dis
charged Mr.. Sargent and the case

JULES FERRY,

The death OF Jules Ferry is very
serious Loss to the French Republicans,
as he was almost the only man Of real
vigor OF the old Opportunist set who re-
manned unscathed by recent events.
His recent election to the senate, after
ten years of retirement and OF unpopu-
larity such as rarely overtakes public
man, shows TO what straits the republic
has been reduced by the Panama scan
dal He was hated by the radicals be-
cause OF his known readiness to meet
disorder with grape and canister, and by
the religious world for the turbulence
with which he pursued the Jesuits and
other religious orders, and by the
provinces for annexing Tonquin and
sending the army to perish in distant
rice swamps and jungles.
The day he left Office he was pursued
by q mob Ito his home, and for good
while afterwards hardly dared to show
himself in the streets. There Is no
doubt that the annexation of Tonquin
was terrible mistake, but it was due
to the necessity which nearly all Re-
publicans felt, after the overthrow of
the MacMahon regime, of doing some
thing TO connect the republic with
national glory and expansion, and es-
pecially with the glory and expansion
of the old colonizing days of the mon
archy.
But he did not take into account the
great change in the national manners
which has taken place since the Revolu-
ton and made Frenchmen the most stay
at-homo and least enterprising of modern
nations. When Franco sent out her
swarms OF adventurous to America and
India, the population was wre schedly
poor, and nearly as prolific as the Cana
dams. Since then it has become sta
tionary or declining, has got possession
OF its own soil, and has contracted a
passion for small savings and for small
certainty rather than for large specula.
tive profits, which has made competition
with Germany, Great Britain and eyon
Italy in fields OF foreign venture impos.
sible. 1t was Jules Ferry's ill-luck to be
the first to find this out by &C tual experi.
ment, and it is, perhaps, not too much
to say that it killed him.
The strain OF the last ten years must
have been frightful, and probably left
either brain or heart unable to bear the
excitement of his sudden restoration to
power and fame by his election to tho
presidency of the Senate. But it will
DO a good while before France produces
his like, for his type Of statesman was
one in which modern democracies show
no tendency to abound, the austrc, in
dependent, imperious type, which was
represented in England in tho last cen
tury by the Old wings, who were willing
to do everything for the people, but not
by or through the people.
