a Single Track of Bedded Stone with

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE report
on the inquiry as to the best roads for
farming and farmers, conducted by
Gen Royston, pictures the best road
as bedded stone road, SO narrow
as to be only a single track, but hav-
ing an earth track along side. "A fine.
dry, smooth dirt track" the report
says, els the perfection of roads, easy
on the horses feet and legs and free
from noise and jar. The stone roads,
on the other hand, wear more in warm
weather than in wet Practical ex-
rerience shows that the junction of
the stones and the earth sections of
the roads can be kept even and there
is no difficulty in the meeting and pass
ing of loaded teams, two points which
have been raised in the discussion of
construction methods. No rutting OF

SENATOR JONES EXPLAINS.

What the National Silver Meeting at Wash
ington Next Month Is For.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Jones,
Of Arkansas. who joined with Senator's
Harris and Furpie in issuing call for
a conference of silver democrats in
Washington on the 18th of August, has
written a letter to friend in Wash
ington explaining the origin of the
call and the purpose of the meeting.
He says: cat Memphis, after the adj
journment of the meeting there,
a number of democrats from diff
ferent states had meeting
and, after some consideration,
that meeting requested Senators
Harris. Turpie and myself to take steps
to organize the silver democrats so
they should be fairly represented in
the next national convention. We
concluded that the best way to do this
was to first organize national CEN
trail committee of silver democrats,
consisting of one or more mem bers for
each state, and let these members look
after the organization of their own
states. To select gentlemen for
mem bership of this committee
by correspondence seemed slow,
and hence it was concluded
to invite one or more gentlemen OF
character and experience from each
state to meet in Washington and Sc
lect, if they thought we'll of it. this
central committee. This is all there
is of it. as understand

STEAMER BURNED.
The CibOla Floats Down the River Mass
of Flames

Inc O1DO13 E1OaGS DOWn the 1SiVer a MASS
of Flames.
LEwIsTowN, N. Y, July 16.-Shortly
before IL o'clock this morning the
handsome steamer Cibola, of the Mag
ara river line, which plies between here
and Toronto, was discovered to be on
fire at her dock. The flames spread
with great rapidity and soon enve1oped
the steamer and communicated to the
dock. The steamer broke away from
her mornings and fioated down river,
a mass of flame. She burned to the
waters edge, and her hull lies on a
sand bar between here and the mouth
of the river. The fire on the dock
spread to the American hotel and for
a time threatened the New York Cen
trail depot. The dock and hotel were
almost totally destroyed and the depot
badly scorched. When the flames were
discovered in the Cibola the crew and
a few passengers were aboard and
asleep. They were quickly aroused
and all succeeded in escaping with the
exception of the third engineer, Will
liam Hammell, of Toronto, who is
missing. He was known to have been
in the engine room at the time the fire
started, but has not been seen since,
and it is supposed he was burned to
death. The total loss will proba bly,
reach $3.50. OOO

Burlington is increasing it's shop force
