OF the wooden buildings, the Gospel Ban
ncr Office was attacked through window,
and il was necessary to put stream of
water through a scuttlc in the roof. The
damage and annoyance will be consider
able.
The millinery stock of Mrs l.. c. Coch
rano was badly smoked and wet down,
and the stock of Dudley * Lynn is
thought to be in very bad condition, from
water and smoke
The Y. NJ. c. A. rooms We're filled with
smoke, but not much damaged.
Trouant Il Bates stock was consider
ably smoked, but the damage could not
be estimated until today. They had
horse and carriage in their basement,
which they removed.
The smoke even penetrated rs far as
Brooks hardware store, though doing lit
tie damage.
On the south, the J. Il. Fuller grocery
store was filed with smoke, but damage
could not be estimated last night.
In addition to loss on stock, Mr. Soulc
had some valuable papers and bonds, as
well as some household Silvcrwarc in his
store, recently taken from safety deposit
vault. 1t is understood that the papers
and bonds alone represented several
thousands of dollars in value.
The iiremcn did their work nobly They
had fire to fight that had n good start in
tions and inaammablc stuff, and did OK
cccdingly well to hold it within those
limits. Luckily the night was quite warm
and they could work with case com
pared with most winter fires. Fifty-iivc
men were on duty and about 5000 feet of
hose was laid No accidents We're re-
ported.
Smith & Reid and some other firms
located south of the fire made prepara-
tions to move out at quick notice should
the fire spread beyond the wooden build
ings.
Knowton & Young will continue to
supply their customers rs usual with
everything in the fish line, and the ire
prcssiblc r. W. Soule is probably doing
business somewhere on the street while
you read this.
The fall of snow prevented any danger
from dying sparks, which at one time
were thick There was but little wind
during the fire, though it brcezcd up
trife toward the last.
In the basement Of Knowlton & Young's
store were kept three horses Thomas
Donahuc an employee, released the ami
mails as soon as the fire was discovered.
At time Of going to press the flrcmen
were still putting water on the ruins, the
fire still smouldcring away in the base
mcnts and under the sidewalk, but wholly
under control.
The water works were in splendid or
der and gave the best of service.

KENEEBEc ICE CROP.
Preparations Being Actively Made for Harvest
ing an Unusually Large Amount

Gardiner, Dec. 2-(SpeciaD. .-Satur
work breaking up the rough ice in the
river below South Gardiner, caused by the
boats passing up and down, Thursday.
As general thing the river is now clear
of this broken ice, and if nothing prevents
the fields will be in excellent condition to
harvest from. Above the Gardiner bridge
the ice is about three inches thick.
Saturday the different companies Were
inspecting their fields and making plans
for early harvesting. All day considerable
activity was noticeable by loads of runs,
scrapers, tools and other articles required
in harvesting the frozen product, were be
ing transported to'ditfercnt points on the
river 1t was II welcome sight to our mer-
chants and workmcn, who realize the
benefit derived from the ice business in
this section, especially during the winter
months, when many other kinds of busi-
ness are at a standStill.
At Smithtown the ice is sufficiently
strong to hold up Il crew of men, and, to
day, chiseling will commence We un-
derstand that crews will also be put on at
other places, although harvesting will
probably not commence for number OF
weeks. OF course as usual many socalleG
weatherwise prophets predict warm rains
and that the ice is not here to stay. Others
claim that an early and severe winter in
srres bountiful crop on the Hudson and
other points west of us, and would coun-
sci moderation, claiming that work dont
so early in the season is both "A waste ol
time and money.
Whatever may happen, there is one thing
certain, that a large amount of ice will be
harvested, this season, as the amount OF
old ice to be carried over is practically
nothing.

that he expected they would refrain from
rough playing.
The First Score.
Yale had the choice and gave Princeton
the ball. Princeton kicked TO Yale's sc
yard line. L. Hinkey got the bail and by
good interference carried it back &c
Princeton's so yard line. just before he
went out of bounds he dropped it and the
Princeton man downed it, Princeton

During the second half things were
not so lively, for it was plain as has beer

The Recent Army Orders.

General Schofield, com Landing the
army of the United States, has made
public the following orders, which were
prepared and issued to commanding
officers during the recent troubles:
"a mob forcibly resisting or obstruct-
ing the execution of the laws of the
United States, or attempting to destroy
property belonging to or under the
protection of the United States, is a
public enemy.
Troops called into action against
such mob are governed by the gen.
eral regulations of the army and mill
tary tactics in respect to the manner
in which they shall act to accomplish
the desired end. 1t is purely prac-
tical question IN what manner they
shall use the weapons with which they
are armed-whether by the fire of mus
kerry or artillery or by the use of the
bayonet and saber, or by both, and at
what stage of the operations each or
either mode of attack shall be employ
ed.
"This tactical question must neces-
sarily be decided by the immediate
commander of the troops, according to
his best judgment of the situation and
the authorized drill regulations.
I'm the first stage of an Instruction,
lawless mobs are frequently commin-
gled with great crowds of comparative
ly innocent people, drawn there by
curiosity and excitement, and ignorant
OF the great danger to which they are
exposed. Under such circumstances
the commanding officer should with
hold the fire of the troops, if possible,
until timely warning has been given to
the innocent to separate themselves
from the guilty.
Under no circumstances are the
troops to fire into a crowd without the
order of the commanding officer, except
that single sharpshOoters, selected by
the commanding officer, may shoot
down individual rioters who have fired
upon or thrown missiles at the troops.
''As a general rule the bayonet alone
should be used against mixed crowds
in the first stage of a revolt. But, as
soon as sufficient warning has been
given to enable the innocent to sepa-
rate themselves from the guilty, the
action of the troops should be govern
ed solely by the tactical considerations
involved in the duty they are ordered
to perform. They are not called upon to
consider how great may be the losses
inflicted upon the public enemy, except
to make their blows SO effective as to
promptly suppress all resistance TO law
full authority, and to stop the destruc-
ton of life the moment lawless resist
anoe has ceased. Punishment belongs
not to the troops, but to the courts of
justice"

CarnOt'S Assassin.

Cesario Santo, the anarchist, under
trial at Lyons for the murder of Presi-
dent Carnot, admitted Thursday his
commission of the crime with which he
is charged and gloried in it, He denied
that he had an accomplish, claiming
the whole credit of the horrible deed.
He bore himself defiantly throughout,
and refused to be considered person
of unsound mind and irresponsible.
His confession of a declaration that he
would kill the King of Italy and his
premier if he had a chance created
sensation in the courtroom.
The murder of President Garnot, he
admitted, was from anarchist motives.
II am an {; narchist," he said, land
hate the bourgeois society, and the
heads of the State" Evidently he is
an uncomfortable sort of person to
have at large.-BGlt. Sun.

Letter,

Governor O'Ferrall Writes Pretty Tart
Governor O'Ferrall received letter
from Washington, signed John W.
Malchett, "a Christian missionary"
proposing that Virginia unite with the
commissioners of the District of Co.
lumbia in sending the Coxeyites back
West, and contribute to fund for the
purpose. The Governors correspond
ent enclosed a clipping from Wash
ington newspaper, showing that he had
been before the District commissioners
with proposition to get rid of the va
grants.
The Governor replied that were he
disposed to help the people known as
Coxeyites, he had no funds at his com
mand for the purpose. Continuing, the
Governor said it wes proper for him TO
state that he had no sympathy with
the people referred to. He regarded
them as lot of idlers, who would not
work if work were given them The
Virginia authorities had already been
too lenient with them, and the strong
arm of the law would not be withheld
much longer. Virginia, added the Gov
ernor, did not intend that she should
be the dumping ground for all the
tramps, hoodlums, and cranks of the
West.

TRAGIC DEATH.-On Saturday last
as the local North freight swept around
a sharp curve near Goose Neck dam, a
few miles South of Buena Vista, the
fireman saw an old woman sitting some
eight or ten feet from the track. The
sight of the rapidly approaching train
seemed to confuse or brighten her, and
leaving the spot where she was sitting
and where she was perfectly secure
from harm. the poor woman endeav-
ored to cross the track in front of the
rushing engine. The fireman gave the
alarm but it was too late to check the
train. The woman was struck and
hurled over the track. When the
trainmen picked her up she was dying.
The body was brought to Buena Vista,
where it was recognized as Mrs. Mary
Nelson. of Botetourt Co. She owned
small farm near Natural Bridge, and
was in comfortable circumstances

was due directly to a fall sustained

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST s
Compulsory Arbitration Impractieable.


To have all differences of nations and
individuals and corporations settled by
voluntary arbitration in which both
parties would agree to abide by the de-
cision of the arbitrator would be a
''consummation devoutly to be wish
3D." but compulsory arbitration can
not be made practicable when either
of the parties refuse to abide by the de-
cision of the board of arbitration, for it
cannot be enforced. AS the N. Y. Jour-
nal of Commerce says, persons who lm-
agine that compulsory arbitration is
possible, even if there were no other
objection to it, will get some light on
the matter by reading a dispatch re-
garding the action of Santa Fe Rail
road men at Argentina, Kansas. 1t is
essential to any scheme of compulsory
arbitration that the decree of the arbi-
traitors should be capable of enforce
ment, and that decree might be that
the men must 60 to work at the old or
at reduced wages. Some labor leaders
recognize this fact and oppose COM
pulsory arbitration, but many overlook
it, and think, if they think at all, that
arbitration is merely means for COM
polling the employer to do what they
want. These 400 men had been enjoin-
ed from molesting the railroad, and had
also been summoned to appear before
Judge Foster at Topeka on August 6.
Last Wednesday night the American
Railway Union at Argentina held a
meeting and authorized the Secretary
to send letter to the court saying that
they would not go to Topeka, and if
they were wanted they might be found
at Argentina. When the American
Railway Union wants to regulate the
affairs of the railroads it insists on be-
ing treated as corporate entity, but
when the process of court is served up
ON it it dissolves into it's component in
dividuals, and each of the 400 men must
be dealt with separately. Now, sup
posing that the decree of the arbitra-
tors was that they must go to work at
the wages they had struck against,
what success would attend the effort
to enforce the degree?
