It is stated, on what appears to be excel | lent authority, that the electric road be- tween Poughkeepsie and Wappingers Falls, which is approaching completion, Is only one link in chain of trolly sys- | tems connecting all the inland towns be- tween New York and this city.

Mrs. Charles E. Stebbins, while de- defanged, attempted suicide on Tuesday morning, cutting her throat with razor. Tie wound was four inches long, but too low down and not deep enough to be fa- tai. Mrs. Stebbins has not been we'll for some time. About 2 o'clock her husband left her for few minutes, when she rush. ed into the street in her night clothes, screaming. Some. neighbors caught her and took her home. She became quiet and seemed rational. MT. Stebbins again stepped out to the barn, when she again got up and seizing razor cut her throat

 We put all garments worth from ST to $1.5o apiece in at 7o cents each. Better quali- ties go in from $1.75 up to $7 each that would bring one- third more in the regular way. South store.
 Waists that sold all season for $1, SIPS and $1.5o each, all going at one price,

 Some styles are put in at this price because they lag in selling at the old prices; oth- CTS because the assortment of sizes are broken. But there are dozens of fits and styles for everybody. Main floor of vernon-street building.

 The continued heat and dry weather causes downeast look among farmers The hay, oat and potato crops are far be- hind the usual quantity; pastures are dried up, and COWS in milk show the lack of full forage of fresh feed. Apples are prematurely falling from the trees, and those exposed to the sun on the ground are actually roasted. Many small streams and wells have dried up, and the larger streams and reservoirs are alarmingly low. The supply of water stored in the lower part of the town, that supplies Will limantic with water, is very low, and close economy is needed in it's use in view of total failure should the dry weather continue much longer. With the excep- tion of one shower, that lasted about fif- teen minutes, no rain has fallen to any amount in this section since the 2d day of June. The corn crop stands the drouth better than any other, and, us rule, looks pretty well. A field of eight acres at Spring Manor is looking extra fine, and with a suitable quantity of rain will yield bountiful harvest The proprietor of Spring Manor has foreman that man. ages his farm under instructions, and probably farms it more for pleasure than profit. His family resides at his cosey villa, but business keeps him away most of the time. He owns large tract Ot land, and keeps fine herd of dairy COWS. The Central Vermont railroad runs thro' his lands, and though he has good driveway from the main road to his house under the hill, he has purchased strip of thirty acress lying between the railroad and Willimantic river, and opened a road to the depot, so that his home is easily reached from different ways. He has lately purchased lot near Eagleville of 100 acress, to give his cattle larger range of pasture. The improvements he has made within few years on the once rough, wild, uninviting section, now like a garden, is worth driving miles to see,

back to that city tonight NJ. V. s. Wolfe,

a large cigar firm OF Lancaster, Pa. and

telegram from Chief-of-Police Irwin, OF

Mr.. Wolfe seems 10 have run across
considerable trouble In Atlanta. He says
he is a commission traveller. and that the
trouble with his firm arose over an order
sold in Raleigh. n. c.. and another sold
to n Lynchburg firm. The orders seem
TO have been sold subject to approval
on consignment, and the house did not
like this style OF the transaction.
His last night In Lynchburg was marked
by banquet given by the Masonic fra
ternity, and he was an honored guest.
The next morning he needed funds and
drew on his firm for 800. lie was

AN HONORABLE HISTORY.
The Bufgesses Corps IL one OF the most
celebrated and renowned military organi-
zations in New York State. The corps
was organized in October. 1874. and has
figured prominently on all military occa-
sions III that State since that date. In
$50 when the Prince Of Wales Visited tlds
country, the corps acted as his escort,
and also acted in the same capacity for
President Lincoln during his life. and
after his death the organization was the
special escort TO his remains. The corps
was the guard of honor at the Capitol
and In the parade Ut the funeral obsequies
OF General Grant in 1855. and In the fol-
lowing year acted as escort TO President
Cleveland for four days during the BIZ
centennial celebration.

IN FEAR OF BEING lYNChEO.
Ben White and Jim Robinson Spirited
Away to Alexandria.

MANASSAS, VA, February 3.-(spe-
cial) -Ben White and Jim Robinson, the
negroes arrested here January Slst for
assault on Mrs. Helm and Mrs. Elliott,
weTs spirited away by the officers to-
night and sent to the Alexandria (Va)
Jail for safe keeping. There has been
more or less talk OF lynch law since their
Incarceration here, and from information
obtained from the authorities tonight
there seems to have been a well-founded
rumor OF an uprising OF the citizens in
the neighborhood OF the home OF the VIC
Tins for the purpose OF dealing SUMMARY
iy with the prisoners. Hence they were
taken away tonight by Sheriff Leachman
and Town-Sergeant Rorabaugh. The
transfer was accomplished so quietly that
their removal was not known until after
the train had left the depot. The jail
has been strongly guarded day and night
since the commitment of these men, and
they seemed TO fully appreciate the gravl-
~ OF their position, and were very fear
full of vengeance being wreaked upon
them by a lynching party. Mr.. j. b. I.
Thornton, the Commonwealth Attorney,
stated tonight that they would certainly
be brought here to appear before the
grand jury on Monday next, and that a
most earnest effort would be made on
his part 10 bring them to immediate trial
at the term OF the County Court con-
vening here February 9Th. This is con-
sidered one OF the darkest crimes that
has ever stained the pages OF the his
tory OF Prince William county.
