While two of the men guarded the train

STORMS AND TEMPESTS
Do Great Damage in Many Places In
Vermont.


Vermont
RUTLAND county was visited by a cyclone
of prairie dimensions last Thursday, which
wrought havoc in several towns. AT Pitts
ford houses were unroofed, barns and sheds
entirely destroyed, while the roads and
fields were strewn with broken trees and
fences. The main street was filled with
flying brick, slate and shingles, making
passage exceedingly dangerous. A large
chimney on the store Of Denison Brothers
was blown over, striking pair OF horses
owned by Henry Kingman, the mail car
rier, which were standing in front OF the
store, injuring them so that they both died
within a few minutes. At Bennington the
wind blew all night with gale velocity, up
roofing trees, blowing down chimneys, tear
ing off tin roofs, and causing a damage of
several thousand dollars. AT Rutland the
telephone and electric light poles went
down like ninepins, part Of the roof Of the
Bates House was torn off and the skylight
Of the Berwick was lifted bodily and carried
several rods. The loss in Rutland alone
was fully $4,000.

THERE is a great rush of immigrants in
New York this week. and the number due

number to over $4,000. The reason for the

The Act Attributed to Political Motives.
A DYNAMITE bomb was thrown into the
-Four Courts at Dublin last Saturday even
ing. The explosion was tremendous, but
no one was injured. 1t was evident that
the purpose OF the persons throwing the
bomb was not to sacrifice human life. At
night the -Four Courts and all the immediate
neighborhood are deserted, so that there
was not the slightest chance that anybody
could be killed by the explosion. The ma
tionaists believe that the thrower of the
bomb intended to embarrass the govern
ment. The police attribute the act to a
unionist agent, who wished to make the i'm
preston that Irish extremists were eager to
remind the people Of the Phoenix Park as

Failure of Henry Allen ~ Co.. Banks not
Affected.

Affected.
HENRY ALLEN & Co., one Of the largest
financial houses in New York, with branch
offices at Albany, Philadelphia, Chicago and

of the collapse was the failure OF the pool in
cordage to sustain the quotations of its stock
holdings in the face of tight money and
discrimination on the part of the banks
against making loans on industrial shares
as collateral. 1t is estimated by those in po-
sition to judge that the loss to the pool has
been fully $1,500,000 The firm was carry
ing &c, 900 shares of the stock, on which the
average loss is estimated at $50 share.
Boston felt the weak tone of the stock mar
ket. The excitement was chiefly confined
to electric and sugar stocks, with rapidly
declining market. Francis Henshaw & Co..

many otherwise attractive, polite and par

foul odor of their breath. If there was no
remedy for this, it might excite our sym
patty, but as there is no need of having a
foul breath, it is an objectionable breach Of
good manners to obtrude such an offence
on good society. Foul breath arises from
disordered digestion, which can be corrected
by using Sulphur Bitters, and the result will
be pure sweet breath.
