John w. Voshell, who has just been

cratic ticket in st. Georges hundred is
very proud of his corn crop. But he
talks much bigger about his mammoth
turnips.
Samples from his farm were brought

most filled an ordinary basket. They
are as big as football aud weigh 81
pounds apiece They are common red
tops. The leaves spread about feet
across and the plant stood about u feet
high. They were taken out of the
ground Saturday last. The seed was
planted July 20, in light, sandy soil.
Nothing but common barnyard manure
was used. The seed was purchased
from Middletown storekeepers.
Mr.. Voshell also brought in several
samples of corn. One showed 1,142
grains. 1t was Golden Dent, % inches
IN circumference. Another head was l33
inches long. There was a sample of
blood corn also, which was grown in the
f1eld with white corn. Mr.. Voshell ex-
hibited a pretty ear of the old.fashioned
calico" corn. He got As bushels to the
acre from field of So acres, and sold
the CROP at 30 cents bushel.

A PERFECTLY SAFE SHIP.
The arrangement of bulkheads and
waterproof compartments is such as to
make it practically impossible to sink
the vessel. If in collision the bulk
heads are damaged, three of the com
partments might be completely flooded
and yet the ship remain perfectly sea-
worthy. The same arrangement prac-
tically insures the ship against fire, as
it would be comparatively easy matter
to contine blaze to any one compart-
ment.
Another novel feature in the con-
struction of the st. Louis is that which
has been introduced for the purpose of
avoiding low tide delays at the harbor
bars in New York and Liverpool. Her
double hull is filled with water ballast
which can be pumped out as the vessel
nears the end of her journey, thus de-
creasing her draught to sufficient ex-
tent to enable her to pass over the bar at
almost any tide.
When completed, the st. Louis will
have accommodations for passengers as
follows: First cabin, 800; second cabin,
200; steerage, $50; crew and employees,
400; total, ITO.

Mill Destroyed, Causing II Loss of
@IO,OOO--The Work of lncendiaries.


Special lCorrespondence ofGazette and Journal
MILFORD, Nov. 13,-The mill for
merly owned by Hearn, Adkins &
Powell, but now by Powell & Reynolds,
was discovered to be on fire about 11.45
o'clock last night. In short time the
efficient fire department arrived on the
scene, and, finding it was too late to
save the mill, turned attention to the
houses of c. w. Kern and Myers Rey-
nolds, directly opposite. The heat in
front of these two houses was so great
as to require protection for the tiremen.
The mill was situated near the depot
and was large one, and was built on
the same ground where. about 10 years
ago, the large basket mill of @. A. Blair
was destroyed by fire, and about five
years since the mill of Hearn, Adkins &
Powell was destroyed. This mill gave
employment TO 10 men.
The fire was supposed to be Of an in
cendiary origin. The firm will lose about
$4,000, which was only partially
covered by insurance.

AN EMIssARY IN A CELL.
Mr.. Potter. Who Says He Is an Hawaiian
Agent, Hasn't Paid His Bills.

Chicago, February 3.-The Herald
today says: &C. Potter, the alleged Sc
cret emissary of the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii was locked up in a cell
at the Desplaines street station last night.
The charge against him is obtaining
money under false pretenses. The COM
plainants are Shelter & Chalman, drug
gists and the Moffatt Livery Company.
Potter claims that he is the victim of un-
pleasant circumstances and that the
charges against him are absolutely with
out foundation. He says he is all that
he represented himself to be land
that he is more than capable of paying
the debts he has contracted. He says he
is the secret agent of the Hawaiian pro-
visional government, and his business in
Chicago is to carry out the instructions
received from President Dole. When tax
en- into custody, he had in his possession
$500 in bonds of the Homer Hawaiian
Sugar Company, and a satchel contain
ing $500 worth of jewelry."
Potter's story told yesterday was that
he had been sent to this country by the
provisional government to investigate
the question of the loyalty of Minister
Thurston. Dispatches from Washing
ton say that Mr.. Thurston declares that
he has never before heard of Potter and
knows nothing about him.

IN FALL RIVER MILLS.

Fall River, Mass, February 3.-The
print cloth market here is in "a very
favorable condition with good prospects
that most of the mills will continuesrun-
ming until April. Fine goods mills are
still running on short time, as are the
mills in Taunton and New Bedford.
During the week spinners employed in
the fine goods mills have been making
collections among the operatives of other
mills for the purpose of raising money to
defray the expenses Of a trip to Washing
ton to protest against the enactment of
the Wilson tariff bill, as passed by the
House of Representatives. This move
does not meet with the favor of many
other spinners, nor with the secretary of
their association, who contends that the
manufacturers should bear the expense,
as they will receive the earliest and
largest benefits in the event of success

in great many cases by the overseers
and other subordinates. The manufac-
turers say they have given the men every
encouragement consistent with the move
menG that would be beneficial to both
parties The continued dullness in the
finer classes of goods is leading the
treasurers of the mills with yarn facili-
ties to turn production to prints and
coarser grades of convertibles,

WANTED TO MEET IN ST. PAUL's.
A Project of Londons Unemployed which
Resulted in Broken Heads.

London, February 3.-Rioting, during
which the police caused blood to flow
from many head, occurred this after
noon not far from the historical Cathe.
dral of ST. Paul.
A procession of about 300 members of
the German-Jewish unemployed popula-
ton of this city, marched during the
afternoon from Tower Hill towards the
West End with the intention of going to
Trafalgar Square and holding meeting
there Of the now familiar kind
The German-Jewish unemployed it al
SO appears had threatened that on their
way to Trafalgar Square they would
force an entrance into st. Paul's Cathe-
dral and hold meeting there which
would attract attention to the grievances
they complained of.
These threats reached the ears of the
police authorities, who promptly took
steps to prevent the proposed invasion
of ST. Paul's Cathedral. With this OBJ
iect in view detachment of police was
stationed inside the sacred edifice and
strong force of police marched with the
unemployed procession from Tower
Hill.
All went we'll until the procession
reached the neighborhood of Black FRI
ars' bridge, when they turned IN the d1-
rection of ST. Paul's Cathedral. Then
came collision with the police. The pro
cessionists however, forced their way
towards the cathedral, fighting desper-
ately with the police, who handled the
crowd in the very roughest manner
Finally the policemen drew their bat
OILS and charged upon the crowd, hitting
right and left and quickly dispensing the
processionists. after many of the
German-Jew's had received terri
BILE blows on the head which caused
blood to flow, streaming down their fac
es and necks, calling forth cries of
'.shame" from the dsinterested onlook-
ers.
The unfortunate unemployed finding
it utterly imp )ssible to carry out their
intention OF reaching ST. Paurs Cathe-
dral, much less of holding meeting be-
meath the dome of the famous building,
managed 90 reform to a certain degree
their broken-up procession and strag-
oled along the Thames embankment
towards Westminster, and finally man
aped to reach Trafalgar Square. which
was also strongly guarded by police. At
trafalgar Square the unemployed pro-
cessionists listened to excited address
es.

Mammoth brought additional advices re-
garding the Indian troubles in the Bun
ker Hill mining district. A fight occur
red last Wednesday evening between HUI
alapai Clark and small band of Apache
Indians under the leadership of the rem
egade Kid, and resulted in the death of a
squaw and possibly one warrior. Clark,
who left McKinney's rancho last Wednes-
day night with a number of cowboys for
the scene of battle, was seen near Nam
moth yesterday morning by the passen-
gers on the stage He told them that
when he and the cowboys visited the
place where the fight took place, they
found one dead squaw. She was not
more than 20 years old. On her person
were ornaments which made it apparent
that she was the renegade Kids squaw
Clark took all the articles from the
squaw and a lock of her hair. A compa-
NY of cavalry from Fort Grant will be in
the Bunker Hill district in day or two.
A large number of cattlemen and miners
are now in pursuit of the Indians, and a
battle is likely to occur before many

The Village Turned Out.

Attleboro Mass, February 3.-B.B.
and r.. Knights large cotton mill at
Dodgeville, two miles south of this town,
narrowly escaped destruction by fire at
noon today. The property was saved by

stairway and the carpenters, making
their way through the binding smoke to
the mule room in the fourth floor, dis
covered the whole northeast end IN
