flooded sugar plantations and sugar mills
thirty miles away from the channel of
the stream. The entire cane crop OF the

1T WAS A MALICIOUS FAKE
There Was No Attempt on the Life Of
Cleveland
The Lying Statement Was Furnished the New
York Stock Ticker Company by
the United Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE New York
Stock Ticker company today sent out on
its tape in this city malicious and lying
statement furnished by the United Press
1t was in eject that the Associated Press
had last night reported that "An attempt
had been made to assassinate President
Cleveland" fs @s5
The Ticker company soon learned that
it had been imposed on by the United
Press people and promptly sent out on
its tape this statement in reputation Of
the previous one:
"Noiice-A statement was sent over
this tape this morning in these word S,
supplied to us through our news chan
channels.
The report sent out early this
morning by the Chicago Associated Press
that an attem pit had been made to assas-
sinate President Cleveland is untrue
"That statement is distinctly untrue.
The Associated Press incorrectly re erred
to as the Chicago Associated Press sent
no statement of an attempt to asassirate
President Cleveland. On the contrary, a
rumor to that effect was run down and
disproved by the Associated Press. This
statement is fair to ourselves as well as
to the Associated Press"
The personal or corporate turpitude of
the United Press never was more thor
oughly illustrated than in the staten snt
which it sent out to its subscribers and
repudiuted by the Ticker company as
shown in the above statement.
CHICAGO, Der. 1.-THE following
statement has been sent out by the West.
ern Union: "Tbe statement sent out
over the Western Union Telegraph CON-
pany's tickers this morning to the effect
that the Associated Press had started the
rumor of President Cleveland s sassina-
tion proves to have been a malicious
falsehood. The Associated Press has at
no time either started such a rumor or
given it currency. The allegation that
it has done so was furnished to the Stock
Quotation company by the United Press
in New York. 1t should never have been
sent out over ticker wires and the COM
pany sincerely regrets its transmission.
The original copy of the libel as fur
nlshed by the United Press to the West
ern Union Telegraph company has been
turned over to the New York Office Of the
Associated Press.

MINERS MATTERS
Still Struggling to Elect President Of the
Association

SAN FRANCISCO. Oot. 1.-THE fight
for the control of the State Miners asso-
citation goes on. 1t is generally conceded
that if Jacob Neff will accept the presi-
dency that he will be elected.
Gilbert Murray OF Nevada City has de-
clined to run. but will be a candidate if
Neff draws out.
If Murray is elected, Assemblyman
Thomas will probably be elected secre-
tary and the fight will narrow down to
Julian Sonntag and W. G. Ralston.
Speaking OF the growing Importance OF
gold mining, A. J. Ralston Of the Selby
Smelling works said that the product
this year would be 25 per cent greater
than in 1898. A fair comparison with
1894 cannot be made.
A long com Dunication from W. II.
Mills representing the Central Pacific,
has been received by the miners. MI.
Mills contends that if the miners insist
on theitr demand that only lands grant,
ed the Central Pacific are subjected to
examination by experts that not half the
lanos in the state will be subjected to
examination by the expert commission.
He also objects to the appointment of
Mr.. Benjamin as expert to represent the
miners in the examination of lands,
owing to the affidavits which Benjamin
has made as to the nature of a large
amount of the lands in controversy.

One of the Obvious and Special Faults of New Haven.

One of the Obvious and Special Faults of New Haven.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER In my observation of human nature, am often reminded of a sketch by Miss Milford in "Our Village of little girl at play with a June morning She has gathered flowers on the river bank till her apron overflows with the white and gold. Ambitious, however, to gain some that are out of reach, she climbs the strong bank and pushes through the thorny tangle, unmindful that as she does so the rich treasures in her apron are slipping away from her un- noticed and unenjoyed.
 And thus many older and wiser nor tals ever since have lost the wealth of June which a kind fate had piled in their aprons, letting it perish in the glare of noon unrecognized and unen- joyed, while they stretch out their hands for some farther blossoms Qess fair if they only knew it) that smile at them from some difficult distance
 Is not this an obvious and special
  fault of this city of our love?
 Instead of rallying to the support and encouragement of our own institutions, feeling proud of them and trying to make them what every citizen may justly take pride in, we are very prone to belittle them and throw obstacles in the way of their growth and develop ment. We have noble schools, but we too generally grudge them our patron age, and some of us love to say that Europe alone affords instruction suita- ble for us or our children. We have a noble theater. But instead of the as- of the municipal government, the enthusiastic support of the cultiva- ted, ambitious to make its record sec ond to none in the musical or dramatic world, and the pride of the community, how often we hear Mrs Ne-plus-ultra remark q seldom visit the theater in New Haven, but frequently go to New York or Boston for the opera or a play"
 Now it is of course the duty of art student and art lover to improve the largest resources of cultivation open to them, but don't travel to Europe to find the professor, on whom you turned your back has just arrived before you 70 accept an appointment in the institu- ion where you are enrolled as a stu lent!

The motors will climb an incline of 20 per cent. The speed is regulated before the car rier is started on it's trip by simple attachment. It will run no faster down grade than up. It cannot jump off the wire even at a speed of 100 miles an hour. It runs on a four-inch sheave wheel with deep fianges. The wheel is furnished with ball-bearings. The power required to operate the carriers at speed of sixty miles an hour is exactly the same as is required to run an ordinary arc light A current of 110 volts is used, A heavier cable is used than is necessary to sustain the weight as a measure of safety.

The difference which may exist be- tween vote counted by tellers and a vote by yeas and nays is vivldly illus trated by the action taken by the lower branch of congress on the question of paying salaries of $1OO per month to the clerks of members for the twelve months in the year, instead of for only the number of months that congress is actually in session. The proposition to pay them for the full twelve months passed the house by an overwhelming vote without roll call, but when the yeas and nays were ordered the grab was defeated by vote of 9S to 142. The result shows how readily congress- men will vote for such schemes when there is no danger of their being found out, and how quickly they will turn about when they must go on record.
