A very pleasant meeting was held
at the Opera House in Royalton on
evening, and a good sizett
audience listened to an explanation
of the railroad bonding project. The
executive committee OF thecampaign
in favor of the railroad proposition
assigned NJ. NJ. Williams, F. x. La
fond, F. w. Lyon, VIM. Moore Geo.
La Fond and w. NJ uller to be att
the meeting, and they were listened
to attentively and treated courte-
ously. The matter was discussed
from a county standpoint, and the
general effect on the county as a.
whole considered. Any county is
better for containing a large city,
and the tax payers can we'll afford
to contribute a few-cents a year to
aid in greatly increasing the tax pay
ing property of the county. The
votes cast against the proposition
in Bellevue will not be so cast Tor
fear any burden of taxation.

InaFavor OF the Bonds.

I'll was opposed to the railroad
bonds as late as last Saturday. but
since thinking the matter over, and.
reading the proposition, I Ihave come.
to the conclusion that it is for my
best interest to support the bonds
and Ishall do all i can in aid Of them
and also try to have all my friends
do likewise. S.BoRAs.

We have good reason to believe
that the county bond proposition
will be carried by a good general
majority, and that q majority OF the
precincts OF the county will vote in
it's favor. One of the best reasons for
believing SO is that the proper work
is being done by the people of the.
county who appreciate and under
stand the advantage OF the new
railroad. It will require the most
active work for the balance OF the
campaign to place the result beyond
doubt, and the fight should be an
aggressive one till the polls close.
Every town will vote the special
bonds asked.
The average farmer in the county
with so acres OF land will pay 80 or
40 cents year for interest on rail-
road bonds. Is it worth that sum
to get a city in your county that
will help pay all county expenses:
AS a matter of fact the increased val
uation of the city will soon pay
much more to the county in general
county taxes than the county will
pay for railroad bond interest. But
to make that increased valuation in
in the city the aid must he given to-
the railroad. Vote for the railroad
bonds, and you will never feel the
taxes, except in the way OF bene-
a.

Pathetic Story OF Former ST. Louis
Bank Cashier Who Embezzled $4,000
In Iss0-Now Poverty-stricken.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 9.-On July 13,
1886, Almon b. Thomson, cashier Of
the Provident Savings bank of this
city, after embezzling eos, 900 for which
he was TO account the following day,
robbed the safe OF $4,000 and fled to
Canada For seven years he has been
thoroughly lost TO the public as though
In his grave. Thomson's wife and two
daughters shortly disappeared in like
manner. The bank went TO pieces, but
paid ninety cents on the dollar. The
Thomsons were forgotten until last
week, when the wife entered suit by
attorney against younger brother Of
Thomson, who had administered the
estate Of their father, deceased In 1888.
By the elder Thomson's will the wife
OF Almon b. was TO receive legacy.
II was TO secure this legacy that suit
was brought
On Friday last the whereabouts Of the
missing Thomsons was revealed. They
we're found In two back rooms Of a
shabby boarding house In New York.
Thomson, carsworn and prematurely
aged, is o bookkseper on n meager
salary. The elder girl is writing In an
insurance Office, while the younger ID
bediast with o lingering illness and
the mother an invalid. Thomson't

IN GREAI DISTRESS.

Many People Starving to Death In the
Storm-Striclten District OF Southern
Louisiana.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 9.-With the tele-
graph wires singing more regularly
the full extent Of the disaster In TINS
section of the country is becoming
known and every message brings addl-
tions to the number of vessels wrecked
and lives lost
The stories Of death and desolation
which continue to come in from the
storm-stricken district of southern
Louisiana lying between Pointe q Ia
Hache and the quarantine station, are
of the most narrowing character
Scores of dead bodies are still lying on
the rivers edge or are in the high and
tangled weeds Of the marshes whittier
they were driven. Many OF those who
escaped are starving. It is reported
that men and women, driven to des-
peration by hunger, are feeding on
dead animals
A large number Of bodies have al
ready been thrown into trenches and
covered up, but those still lying ex-
posed to the hot sun are rapidly decom-
posing, adding further peril to the
situation. 1t was to relieve this terri
BILE condition that the board OF health
on Saturday sent down the coast a
largo quantity OF lime and disinfect-
ants, which will be used for sanitary
purposes. The board dispatched a
physician to the scene to superintend
the distribution Of the disinfectants
and render any aid in his power.
The distress is so great that the
board Of health have concluded to send
70 similar bodies in the leading cities
OF the country IN appeal for help,
promising that Louisiana will bury
the dead and feed the starving, but so
Letting the assistance of the charitable

Many people have been arriving from

of relief and were received with oper
arms, but instead Of coming to save
they came to plundsr, proceeding u

they imposed thereby. They hav'

BUSINESS BAROMETER.

Weekly Review Of the Condition OF Trade
Signs of improvement Difficult to De-
tect.
NEW YORK, Oct. Z. - r. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
1t is difficult to detect any signs Of
improvement. While there has been
some addition to the number of manu-
featuring establishments and the num-
Der of hands at work during the past
week, 1t is becoming painfully clear
that the orders obtained do not suffice
to keep employed at full time even the
limited force at present engaged. The
business transacted is still far below
that of last year In volume, in railroad
earnings the decrease being 1919 per
cent. In spite of large worlds fair busi-
ness, and in payments through the
principal clearing house outside New
York the decrease Is 20 per cent
Reports from other cities disclose
distinct check In these. There is on
the whole less activity and less conf
dence regarding the future than there
was a week ago, and this is In many
eases attributed to the uncertainty re-
garding the monetary future which
delay In the senate causes. ...
"While the volume OF all kinds Of
money in circulation has increased $21,-
87T, 247 during the month of September
and is now greater by almost $40, ,ooO,-
900 than II was last year, the embarrass-
ment is now as it has been all the time,
due 10 lack of confidence rather than
to lack Of currency. 1t is observed
that while the bank circulation In.
creased in September s5,0b2,e17, the
amount OF bank notes in the treasury
has increased s4,687, ,s94, and several OF
the banks which took out additional
circulation, have retired Il and sold the
bonds deposited. The stock Of money
In New York banks has increased rap.
Idly and the retirement OF clearing
house certificates here and at other
cities shows great improvement in
the monetary situation.
In almost every department erderi
are found too small to keep the re-
stricted working force fully employed
Many concerns are working short time
while the general reduction in wages
also effects the purchasing power of the
millions who still have work. An in
creased number Of esta blishments is re
ported In operation, but the sagging o.
prices In print cloths and some othel
cotton goods and in the most impor
tant products Of iron and steel dis
closes greatly retarded business.
The demand for iron products is oil
the whole less satisfactory than it wa
a week ago. Steel billets are selling
at Pittsburgh for s1s per ton and ther
is practically no demand for rails. Il
manufacture OF wool there is still re
markable hesitation and the deman
for consumption is much restricted, s
that the purchases Of wool ut the prir
cipal markets, Notwithstanding som
speculative bupiny, have been onl
2,e28, ,995 pounds, against cara, 400 fc
the same week last year.

SUPREME COURT.
THE COURTS OPINION IN A RAIL.
ROAD CASE.
Rescript in the Case of Armstrong vs. N.
". N. II. and II. Railroad-The Philip
steere Will.

The supreme court gave its opinion
concerning the demurrer entered by the
counsel for Efiie NJ Armstrong In her
suit against the New York. New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company for
damages received while crossing the
tracks OF the railroad at Shamrock in
February, 1893.
The case is briefly this. The plaintiff
at the time named was crossing the
tracks or the company over road used
by the public for thai purpose. She was
appro achi < the crossing from the south
side and had lust reached The south
track when an engine going east and
running at a dangerous rate of speed
struck and badly injured her SO
that she was disabled for long
time and unable to attend To her daily
duties. She avers that there were no
gates and no flag nan to warn her of
the approach OF tne engine aud that the
CO pany's oillcias were negligent in
protecting the crossing.
The ueclaratio avers that the crossing
was long us-d by the public in crossing
the raj ro d, nich U.S. had for q long
Il ne heretofore been acquiesced In by the
defendant.
The defendant demurred to the declara-
tion bee luse It does not set forth defin.
itely Tor now lolg period the use
or this traveleI road had been
atquiesced IN bv the defendant.
Tue court thinks that it was
not necessary for the plaintiff to aver
dellnitely. the length OF time that such
use had been SO acquiesced in, but l hat
the allegation OF declaration is su tic lent.
The acquiescence IL the use OF the road
had been for long enough time so that
tue defendant might be presumed to
have knowledge OF such use and to AS
sent to 1t is all that is required To charge
1t with the duty OF exercising reasonable
care Tor. protection of persons passing
over such way across It's tracks. De-
murrer overruled.
"A rescript in the motion of Philip
Steere To euter an appeal from the de-
cree of the PROBATE court of Gloucester
regprding the tling Of his will was
handed down by the supreme court
last night. The court states that
the aflid Wit OF tue petitioner does not.set
forth what was the acciieut or mistake
relIed Oh to excuse the filing of his
reasons for appea nor is there
any atii lavit OF cJunsel suppleme At
ing the affidavit of the plaintiff in that
respect, although the atfiiavit alleges
that througi accident, mistake, etc,
counsel failed to iile reasons OF appeal.
The court thinks that tle a.
fidavit should show wat tie acci-
deLt, etc, was. 3, that the court
may judge of its sutiic ency; or that il
the fact Is not wItdln tue petitioners
know ledge that 1t should be proved by
affidavit of the person having suca
knowledge.
