DIR. Pnrkhurst's Second Campaign.

While the two great political parties in
New York city are carefully considering
their respective policies regarding the eX-
else question and other issues, Rev. DR..
Parkhurst, who has just returned from
Europe, has formulated program of his
own which he will attempt to have carried
out in connection with the coming election
in the metropolis. The ends which he will
seek to accomplish are as follows:
The second defeat and utter annihila-
ton of Tammany, that being an essential
step to the complete overthrow of bossism,
which is the ultimate aim.
The demand for police Reorganization
bill, that being necessary for the thorough
reformation of the police department.
Local option in excise matters, and the
postponement of the Sunday-Closing issue
for local settlement when the groundwork
of honest municipal, township and village
government is established.
The honest, even and regular enforce
ment of laws, and the approval by the
community of honesty in office in the per
sons of the police commissioners.
The superficial observer would naturally
conclude that DR.. Parkhurst might eXpe-
rience less difficulty in carrying out his
scheme of reform now than when he first
began his onslaught on the Tammany-dive
combination in the great city, but the
chances are he will find the conditions
more embarrassing now than ever before,
in spite of the fact that much progress in
the way of reform has already been ac.
complished. Last year most Republicans
were willing TO lay aside personal consider
ations for the sake of helping on the work
of overthrowing Tammany, but this season
the Republicans of the city are far from
harmonious. Many of their number are
disgruntled over the manner in which
Mayor Strong has conducted his office
while some of those who are warm sup
porters of the mayor are opposed to the
strict enforcement of the law preventing
the sale of liquor on Sunday. Then again
reform has come to be an old story with
some, their zeal has begun to lag, and DR.
Parkhurst will find it difficult to secure tn,
backing of all the better elements whicl
he enjoyed Immediately after the public
had been shocked by the disclosures of tn
Lexow investigation.

The earthquake disaster in Honduras

of persons are reported to have lost their
lives through the topping of buildings,
while very many cattle were killed by the
molten lava from volcanoes. For three
weeks the dispatches have brought tidings
of earthquake tremors in various parts of
the United States and Central America.
Volcanic action found the least resistance
in Honduras, and the fiery earthen fluid
there had vent. The United States rarely
suffers severely from such eccentric action

at Charleston several years ago was very
destructive.

Gov. Woodbury. at ChIcknmauga.

The New York Herald had special de-
spatch from the Chickamauga national
park dedication, representing that a re-
mark made by Gov. Woodbury. in his
speech "stirred up the animals" in the
person of Gov. Turney of Tennessee who
holds by virtue of Democratic chcancery,
the Office to which the people elected Henry
Clay Evans, Republican, last November:
Three days of speechmaking by men
who were once auayed in arms against
each other, without an unpleasant incl
dent, was the vain hope of the managers
of the Chickamauga celebration. Two of
the days and two nights passed without a
ripple, but this afternoon brief but bitter
incident occurred that marred an other
wise grand and thrilling reunion.
In the course of the remarks by Gov.
Woodbury. of Vermont, he said:
after all we have seen and after all we
know, the southerners will in future have
to teach their children that the South was
wrong
Gov. Peter Turney of Tennessee, fol
lowed him. His face and his voice
showed that he was angered at Gov. Wood
bury's remarks. In part he said
81 believed was right during the war.
At the end of the war | thought | was
right ! have never seen the time when
saw anything to make me believe that
was wrong. | shall teach my children
and the children of my friends that | was
right No one today is more loyal to the
flag ;han |, but | can never be convinced
that the South wasIwrong."
The incident was regretted by all, and on
| the surface was soon forgotten. There
was too much real good fellowship in the
/ air for such an occurrence to be remem-
/ bered.
The special despatch to the Burlington
/ Free Press, giving the full text of GOV
/ Woodbury's speech, makes no allusion tC
such an incident, and gives this as what he
said on the point in question; ~ believe
that these ceremonies will tend to dispe
any animosity that may still exist between
those people of the North and South a.
they mingle more and become better &C
/ quainted with each other. Because o
their good qualities each will esteem tn,
other more highly. This meet of the blu,
and the gray is a sort of love feast in which
the gray are taken into full connection
with the Union church. No drawer sol
diers ever fought than those of the South
and valor always eXcites admiration
There is not in my section of the country
the least bitterness of unkind feelin,
towards the people of the South. We o
the North are willing to admit that tn
South at the time thought she was right
I Int 40 otharur;ea tIar Oh
children that she was wrong, 1t is no
often that the results of war are of equa
advantage to the vanquished and the vic

The Famous "star Route" RObberIes.

Inc AsON~
From "Anything to beat Grant" by Pres. E.
Benz. Andrews, in the September Scri6ner's.l
During Hayes's last years, and thereafter,
much public attention was drawn to the
"Star Route frauds. The Star Routes
were stage lines for carrying the mails in
sections of the West where railroads and
steamboats, failed. In 1878 there were 1929
of these Star Routes, for the maintenance
of which Congress in that year appropri-
ated s., 900 900. A ring, made up on the
one hand of Democratic and Republican
public men, some of these very prominent,
and on the other hand of certain mail con
tractors, managed to increase the remune-
ration for service on 135 pet routes from
S143, 100 to $685., sos. On 26 of the routes
the payroll was put up from S65,2l TO
S53O,3i9. The method was, first, to get
numerously signed petitions from the dis
tricts interested, praying for an increase in
the number of trips per week, and shorten
ing the schedule time of each trip, get les
Inmates" from the contractors vastly in eX'
cess of actual cost for the service, get these
estimates allowed at Washington, and then
divide profits between the Statesmen" and
citizens interested in the "deal" Ovel

than three letters week were carried.

FINE GAME AT RoNnv1I,1n.
The Miller-Crosby Combination OF Brat
tleboro Downs Local Team IL to 2.

ANpOAU DuWNh LOChA - W -
The most notable ball game that
Bondvllle has ever seen was played there
Saturday between the local team and the
so-called Miler-Crosby combination of
Brattleboro. The Bondviles were assist
ed by players from Jamaica, Jacksonville,
Manchester and South Londonderry, the
nine being a strong one. The visitors,
however, had an easy victory, their free
hitting and Cox's effective twirling being
the important factors in the result. The
Bondvilles scored in the second, when Rob-
bins was given first on balls, went to sec
ond on wild pitch, and came home on
Waite's tumble of a foul ball which I'm
pire Dunklee finally called fair in response
to the demands of the crowd. Williams
crossed the plate in the seventh when he
secured base on balls, stole second and
scored on Crosby's muff of Piers fly.
The Miller-Crosby combination earned five
runs, three in the second on two baggers
by Cox and Bean and singles by Crosby
and johnson, and two in the ninth on
Johnson's two Dagger, Waite's single and
Perry's two Dagger. The other scores
were on combinations of hits and errors.
The Miller Crosby team played fine
fielding game considering the rocky ground.

him up in good form, catching his best.
game this season. Roberts and Perry
also did yeomans service and Waite
played well in spite of two errors.
For the Bondvilles, Robbins's circus catch
of drive off Beams bat and Wardwells
all around work were noticeable. John
son led at the bat, but Cox was close be-
hind with two long two baggers and sin
gle. Bean and Perry also made long
drives, and every man in the team is cred
tied with hit. The Bondvilles hit only
four fair balls outside the diamond.
The Miller Crosby team are enthusiastic
over the hospitable manner in which they
were entertained by Manager Stockwell of
the Morgan House.
The score tells the story in detail:

"The Gem of the AshuelOt Valley

There is no reason why Keene cannot have

Man Who Sold Dental Drills in Mil
Waukee Did Not Remit to
Chicago.

Chicago, Ill, Jan. IF. M. Thomp-
son. who has been representing the Tur
ner Electric Manufacturing company in
Wisconsin, has, it is said, taken advan-
tage of the company's confidence in him
to make way with $500. Thompson
sold electric dental engines and drills on
commission. He was allowed to sell
either for cash or partial payment with
notes. Some time before the holidays
he wrote letters saying he was having
great success with the machines in Mil
Waukee, but dentists would not buy IN
less they were allowed a trial AS den
lists do not usually pay any bills before
the first of the year, Thompson's failure
to remit money did not arouse suspicion,
and he was allowed to take out $500
worth of the machines on the trial ar
rangement
A short time ago the company began
to receive complaints from it's agents
here that machines were being sold in
Milwaukee below the agents price. Then
a collector went to Milwaukee, and, it
is alleged, he discovered that Thompson
had been selling the machines for what
ever he could obtain and using the
money.
w. II. Wells, president of the company
received a letter from Thompson yester-
day asking for leniency and a chance to
work out the amount of his embezzle-
ment. He said he had started to gam
