The GIN Post.ofiice Discontinued.

The people OF Gill are greatly exercised over
the dscontinuance of their pos office by order of
the department at Washington. Capt. Fred +.
Pierce, postmaster at Greenfield has been or.
dered to take charge Of the Office Nov. 30. It is
alleged that the department is dissatisfied with
the business methods Of Oscar f. Hale, postmas-
ter and country merchant in Gill for many years
and after the 30th all letters directed TO Gin will
be held at the Greenfield Office until called for or
orders are received TO forward them elseWher
Thus far one in Gill seems willing to take the
office, but it will probably be taken by Miss Can
ming daughter of the late Josiah d. Gaming, who
has had experience The Office is worth only
$50 year, but nearly 800 people take their mail
there. The Greenfield office is eight miles distant
and the star route between Greenfield and GIN
has been suspended.

The bimetallic league is about to move
into new quarters and viii make an addi'

is very active and is sending out great
numbers of pamphlets to all parts
A letter from Florence, Italy, says that
n determined effort has been made 10
minimize the recent earthquakes, as the
city absolutely depends upon It's american,

adds that Florence is in dangerous con-
dition and the churches and museums are

The Cornell crew, which is to compete
at the Henley regatta, seems TO be setting
down to good work on the Thames. The
Illustrated newspapers this week devote
much space to illustrations of the crew
and the comments of the newspapers gen
orally are kind. But little pains are taken
to conceal the belief that the Englishmen
have but slight fear of being defeated.
What eXcites the greatest interest in sport
ing circles is the proposed visit OF an
Oxford Cambridge athletic team to the
United States. All of the papers devote
much space to discussing the proposed
event. After commenting at length or
the suggestion of contest, the Sporting
and Dramatic News says: las if to
press the desire for international compe-
titions, we have the Cornell crew here.
To journey 1000 miles and keep more than
dozen men in England for Il month is
no slight undertaking and is a decided
indication of the sporting spirit which ac-
tuates Cornell. Americans have always
been most plucky in coming here, so it is
about time England should cross the At
lantc.
The coming Oxford and Cambridge sport
promises to be of special interest of the
challenge of the English universities.
The London Athletic club, whose team
will also visit America, defeated Oxford
last week. and yesterday at Cambridge
won six out of nine events. The pro-
gram was exactly the same as in the
inter-uniyersity sports and the results in
dictate that Cambridge will defeat Oxford.
Downer of the London Athletic club won
the 100-yard dash in 10 IA seconds;
Pryme of Cambridge put the weight 81
feet, inch; Luytens of Cambridge won
the mile running in four minutes, four
seconds. In the 12O-yard hurdles, 10
flights, Shaw of the London Athletic club
won. In the long jump McHomingway
of Cambridge was the winner with ~ feet,
81 inches.
The greatest surprise of the day was the
quarter mile running in which Fitz Her
bert the new Cambridge captain, beat the
British champion at 40 and $50 yards.
In the hammer throwing, Barry of the
London Athletic club won with 126 feet,
5 inches.

PROFESSOR MILLER HONORED,

4 VI
As mentioned casually in yesterday
Statesman Hon. ThOs. 5. Miller, proIes-
! sor of law and faculty chairman OF tne
| University, was presented Oh 'oaluiuhg
of ternoon with an elegant souvenir by
tbe law class of '9j. The present was a
heavy silver cigar receptacle, filled with
choice cigars, and served as a token by
this wears law graduates of their esteem
for Professor Miller, and their regret at
his contemplated departure from the IN
stitution. On Saturday morning the class,
in meeting, adopted also the following
resolutions: ;,
Whereas, 1t has recently come to the
knowledge of the law class of 20 that
Prof. Thos. S. Miller has resolved to sew
err his official connection with the Uni
versity of Texas at the close of the pres
ent term; and
Whereas, 1t is but meet that we, as
his associates for the past two sessions,
should voice in the feeble manner at
least that words impart, our love for him
as a man, and our appreciation and deep
esteem for him as teacher of men,;
therefore be it
Resolved, Unanimously by this class,
that we can only view this contemplated
departure of our beloved professor in the
light of a profound loss to the dignity
and scholarly culture of our faculty, and
as calling forth naught but honest regret
from all who have the welfare of higher
education in this State at heart; and, be
it further
Resolved, That from an association
extending throughout his too short con-
nection with our institution, we have
learned to love Professor Miller not alone
as we would love pre-eminent ability or
peculiar genius but as man with heart
as big as his mind, and a smile as kindly
as his genius is great We are blessed
with the impress that his vigorous intel
lect in its masterful range and schooled
accuracy, will leave on our class. We
will emulate him and assay his methods
as the most perfect guides to the ideal
counsellor; and
Resolved, finally, In the walk of life
he has recently chosen our professor shall
be followed by the earnest good wishes
and deep personal esteem of each individ-
ual student of this class: for our memory
of him, and the cordial relations his
charm of manner has established with us
will he as the gladstone factors that rem
dered least burdensome our study of the
law.

FURIOUS FOREST FIRES.
A Pennsylvania Lumber Town Threat
cned With Obliteration.

Bradford, Pa, June 16.-A terrible
forest fire is raging between Mount jew,
EFT and Kushequa. The fire extends along
the New York, Lake Erie and Western
and Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
roads for the distance of seven miles. The
town of Kushequa had a narrow escape
from destruction. A telegram from Mount
Jewett says the fire is rapidly advancing
over the hill to Kushequa and great fears
are entertained for the safety of that
town. A special engine left Mount Jewett
at midnight last night for the scene of the
conilagration. Kushequa is lumber vii
lage and contains several saw mills and
other industries. 1t is without fire protec-
ton and it is now impossible to say what
the outcome will be.
Elisha Kane's loss will amount to about
100000. If the wind should shift q
much greater damage will be done.

NICARAGUAN CANAL.
News From the Commission Appointed
to Inspect Its Route.

Chicago, June ia special TO the
Times Herald from Washington, referring
to the work of the commission appointed
to inspect the route and preliminary work
of the Nicaraguan canal says the engl-
neers reached Greytown, the eastern ter
minus on the canal, on May ID and i'm
mediately began an examination OF the
property and Improvements of the Canal
company.
That portion of the canal already built
was found in splendid condition. The en-
bankments on each side have stood the
effects of the weather remarkably well
and show no serious effects from the ram
fall, which, in the vicinity, has monthly
average of "a IL inches. The hospitals
and other buildings were found in good
state of preservation. The railway which
the canal company has built along the
route of the canal for the transportation
of material was found in a good condi-
ton.
The crumbling of earth from the cliffs
and the washings from surface drainages
have not been as disastrous as originally
expected, and it is said that this Objec-
ton so often urged against the feasibility
of the canal has fallen fat. While the
canal passes through a very wet region
where the annual precipitation is nearly
% feet, the effect of the movement of
such an enormous quantity of water have
not been bad, and give no indication that
the sides of the canal will be washed
down in few years.
This objection has been urged often
against this project. About two weeks
ago the canal commission moved on from
Greytown to Lake Nicaragua, and after
+ visiting Canada, the principal lake city,
and Managua, the capital, passed from
Nicaragua to the Pacific coast along the
route of the canal, distance of about IA
miles. This section of the route offers
no obstacles to construction whatever and
will be but a matter of excavation.
