States Senate is still in the senate cham
Der. Senator Cockrell of Missouri, uses

war some Union soldiers, when the desk
was pointed out to them, attempted to de-

attendants fastened to interfere, asking
"What are you doing?" breaking up
Jeff Davis's desk" the soldiers answered
as they made another stab with their bayo-
nets. at is not jeff Davis's DESK" was
the answer. at is the property of the

made by the bayonets in the polished ma
hogany tell mute but eloquent story of the
passions of 1861.

The Floods in QueensIand.

A despatch from Brisbane says: "The
ruin and desolation revealed by the subsid-
ing Of the food, far exceeds that of the
great flood OF 1890. The suburbs have
been almost depopulated and the loss to
property is enormous. Every hour brings
fresh news of villages submerged, houses
wrecked, lives lost and bridges swept
away The flood has receded from most
OF the city districts, which are now cover
ell with mud and slime. The stencil is
horrible and an epidemic is feared. Great
suffering prevails in the poorer part OF the
city, The total damage by the flood is es-

A New York city fashion note says; A
new color has made its appearance. 1t is
called "chrysophrase, and is named after
the gem which is the fad of the hour
Moonstones have had their day. They
are now replaced by another stone, said to
bring luck to the wearer-the chryso-
phrase. And very becoming and lovely
colored stone it is; something like the aqua
marine, of pale green color, but less clear
in tone. Velvets, silks, gauzes, nay, even
gloves and shoes, are to be found in 'chry-
sophrase" hues, and this delicate color has
thrown purple and "chaudron" quite into
the shade.

Gov. Pages increasing business.


Since Ex-Governor Page surrendered the
reins of state government to his successor,
he has resumed his old-time activity in his
hide and skin business. He has recently
made extensive additions to his calf-skin
establishment, making it larger by several
times than any other establishment of its
kind in this country. Its dimensions are:
Main floor, used principally for storing
skins, 240xS6; receiving and grading floor,
24Ox5O; loft, 156x40. The building, which
stands upon the main line of the Boston IL
Maine railroad, has platform BIB feet
long, so that when train delivers its
freight half-dozen ears can be unloaded
at the same time In addition to this there
is special siding running alongside the
lower floor, and on level Herewith, so
that shipments may be made from the main
storage floor without the necessity of lifting
the skins by elevators, or otherwise, to the
receiving floor, which stands on level
with the main line. It's no unusual thing
to see more than $50, 200 skins piled up in
this building at time.

Russians in Connecticut Dying from
Hunger.

Stories of terrible privation and suffering,
due TO the recent cold weather, come in
from the colony of Russians at Chester
hrd Conn, who are deserving their little
farms by scores. About 10 months ago
the colony was established, over 400 Rus
sian families settling on little farms. Dur
ing last summer they did but little work,
and in the fall their crops were poor The
suffering among the colonists has been
very great. Numerous deaths have occur
red, due solely to hunger and cold, and
those who remained have begun TO leave
in large numbers. They have gone to
New York, where they will appeal to their
teIow-countrymen for aid. All of the
farms will be deserted in a few weeks;

Investigation to BE Made.
The Phoenix of last Friday briefly re-
corded the burning on Thursday night of
the Stanford county insane asylum, four
miles from Dover, n. H., and the horrible
fate of Al of the insane inmates. Only
three of the inmates escaped. One of
the men, clad in shirt, walked two miles
in snow storm to a farm house, where he
found shelter.
The asylum was a two-story wooden
building, 1875 feet by 80, with a big yard
on each side. One of the women escaped
to the yard, but was burned to death there.
not being able to scale the walls. The
STAFFORD county poor house, large brick
building only a short distance away, caught
fire, but was saved by the vigorous work of
the inmates, who carried pals of water
and extingushed the flames, although
many of them were severely burned. In
the almshouse were 100 paupers. The fire
department was summoned from Dover
but did not arrive for over an hour and
half, too late to be of service.
Waterman Wilbut Chelsey was making
his rounds when he discovered the fire in
cell occupied by Mrs. La Fountaine.
Keeper Driscoll was at once aroused. The
only means of protection were fire pals set
in quartets along the corridor, each bucket
filled with water There was no force
pump, and the nearest efficient fire appara-
tus was four miles off by the lonely ice
bound road.
The keeper succeeded in opening 10 cell
doors before he was obliged to escape by
jumping from a window. The flames
rushed through the corridors the length of
the building, and the smoke enveloped the
stairs. There was no escape except by the
windows, and the lunatics on the second
floor soon became frenzied. They laughed
and sang and shouted, while some sat stu
| pefied and gazed with melancholy pleasure
upon the approaching flames. The build
ing soon became furnace No scene of
the pictured inferno ever approached this
awful realism. After Keeper Driscoll fed
from the building he rescued his wife and
two children by breaking in window from
the outside.
The cause of the fire is not known. Mr..
Driscoll thinks it originated from defect
i've chimney. Mrs. La Fountaine, in
whose cell the fire started, had been care
fully searched, and was not allowed to have
matches or a lamp. 1t is said, however,
that some of the patients were allowed to
take three matches a day to their cells to
light their pipes.
Twelve years ago the county aims house
on the same site was burned, and 10 per-
sons persisted in the flames. The building
of brick was then erected, with the wood

Four thousand persons in Concordia and
