Town Water,

Last week, editorially, we spoke Of
the excellent water system OF Reynolds
vile and that so far during the present
drought, while other places were suffer-
ing for water, we have had an abund-
ance Of pure water. Some one has cir
culated the story that the town water is
impure and unfit to drink because the
COWS stand in the water &C., and we
have been informed that some parents
of the town have forbidden their
children drinking the town water
while at school, fearing they will get
typhoid fever or some other disease
therefrom. The real truth of the
matter is that about the only water that
is safe to use now is the town water.
The Water Company expended over one
hundred dollars this summer fencing in
the water works and, therefore, there
must be some mistake about COWS get
ting into the water. The company
should see to it that COWS do not get in.
to the water. We made it our business
to interview all the doctors of this place
yesterday concerning typhoid fever
cases in Reynoldsville and only learned
of one case where town water was used
in the family, and in that case the
person had been drinking well water
away from home. This would go tc
prove the statement made in the begin
ming Of this article that the town water
is the only safe water to use, especially
at the present time.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Leading Shipbuilders of Bath Meet and
Pass Resolutions.


Bath, July 25.-One of the most impor-
tant meetings held in the shipping city
thls year took place Wednesday evening
"heh the solid business men tof bath,
under call of the Bath Board OF Trade,
gathered III the old structure to take
action on an important matter-protec-
tloh by national legislation OF the snip
ping and agricultural interets Of this
country.
The leading shipbuilders of Bath were
there, and William H. Besse of New
bedford, who is largely interested in ship
ping, was among those present. Presl-
dent Rogers of the board of trade presid-
ed
Whereas, agricultural staples being ex-
porbs, cannot be protected by d tariff on
iinpofts as manufactures, and
Whereas, American ships in the foreign
trade, being partly built OF protected
material, and under protection wages,
are at disadvantage in the world COM
rated IN cheap labor or free trade coun-
trles; such advantage being beyond the
reach OF protection by a tariff on I'M
ports; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the Board of Trade of
Bath, that the depressed condition OF
the staple agricultural and shipping IN
terests demands the enactment of such
legislation as will put both these indus
tries upon Il footing of equality with
those now especially fostered by the gov
ernment; be it further
Resolved, That since. neither of the two
great unprotected industries can derive
any benefit from tariff on imports,
we call upon Congress to equalize the
protection system ny extending to agri-
cultural staples and American shipping
that just measure Of protection which
they are entitled to as long as protection
is the controlling and public policy of this
| nation, and that this be done by an ex
port bounty on the staples of agricul
ture, and to American shipping in the
foreign trade, either by Il bounty OF
tonnage, or d differential duty which
shall discriminate in favor of American
as against foreign ships, all to the end
that u restoration may be brought about
of our merchant marine, and that the
independent land-owning farmers of the
nation my not be driven into bankrupt
cy and ruin by the competition of cheaI
land and labor countries of the world
be it further
| Resolved, That the efforts of the Boart
be, pledged to the furtherance of {
union between shipping and agricultural
interests in an endeayor to secure
equitable protection for both at the
hands OF the government.

BANK EXAMINER BLAMED.
The Public Think Cashier Walden Had
too Good a Chance to Steal,

Willimantic Conn. July Within the
last lew days there has sbeen..cC n siderable
criticism in banking circles in regard
to the way ex-Bank Examiner Buck
has conducted the examinations of the
Dime Savings Bank. 1t has been assert
eel that considerable blame rests upon
him for the present condition of the
banks He has always been considered
man of irreproachible character and
we'll up in banking matters and fully Ca
pable of occupying the position he held.
The last examination he made of the
bank was June Is just previous to his
turning over the office to his successor.
At that examination he found the bank
had assets of $627, 0S0 and was in per-
fectly solvent condition On July 81 Mr..
Crofut made an examination after the
scale OF 10 per, cent was declared placed
with liabilities at $491, 992; assets $4S3, 301
psonouncing the bank insolvent. Buck
procured statement from Crofut and
after comparative examination made
with one made by him June 10 gave the
result to the press representative tonight.
SUCKS statement corresponds with
Crofut's in every respect with the excep-
tion OF three items. Mr.. Buck places the
expense account at S531 safe and fixtures
S3411; cash on hand $5733. Mr.. Crofut
put the above items at $780, Assuming
that Mr.. Bucks appraisal of three items
is correct it will leave according to Mr..
Crofut's statement a deficiency in the as
sets of about $500 which is ali that VALID
en- could have possibly taken away with
him. Mr.. Buck considers that large
amo unit of paper Crofut has wiped out
as OF doubtful value sis collectible and
dividends coming from Morrison Com
pany and Allentown TRANSACTIONS place
the bank in a solvent condition today.
Mr.. Bucks theory was if there was any
stealing done it was probably $250Oo
Walden might have used to put into the
Morrison Company. In his opinion to ap-
point receiver would be the worst step
the depositors could take as it would take
number of years to wind up the affairs
of the institution with probably a loss
of about two-thiIds of the deposits. Kel-
ley and Summer returned from Allen
town today and reported a meeting of
the directors this evening. A deed was
transferred FROM Walden to the bank and
accepted by the directors. This means that
the bank will receive $4,000 on the tran
saction. The condition of the Dime Saw
! ings Bank occasioned slight run on the
| Willimantic Savings Institution but
it stands ready to meet all demands and
is paying off depositors in gold The di-
rectors decided to offeria reward for the
arrest of Walden.

The New Hurric ane signals.

Washington, D. c. July 25.-For the
purpose of giving warning of the ap-
proach of tropical hurricanes and also
those extremely severe and dangerous
storms, which sometimes pass across the
lake regions and North Atlantic coast,
the weather bureau has adopted special
signal called the hurricane signal consist
ing of two red flags with black centres,
displayed one above the other. This
signal will be displayed at all weather
bureau offices and wind signals display
stations on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
and the Great Lakes and also at numer-
Gus other points. In a number of in
stances arrangements have been made
with steamship and steamboat lines to
display this signal on their vessels
The special efforts have been put forth
to provide for the dissemination of these
warnings in sections beyond the reach of
telegraphic communication along the
South Atlantic and Gulf coasts and the
adjacent islands and to this end arrange
ments have been made in many of the
most exposed and thickly settled of these
localities whereby tugs, pilot boats,
revenue cutters, or other steam vessels
will pass through the waters in the
vicinity displaying the hurricane signal
by day and firing rockets by night and
blowing their whistles to attract atten-

BRIEFLY TOLD.

M. Benoit manager of the Banquet Ma

resignation was accepted 1t is stated
that he was unable to agree with the
directors upon certain questions OF policy
At a meeting of the directors of the S.
& NJ r. R., held in Pittsburg July 24th,
it was voted to increase the capital stock
from 1926, 900 to $50, 600. 1t is now pro-
posed to push the railroad to Harmony as
soon as arrangements can be made. The
railroad commissioners are to give a hear

The case of the schooner Carrie A. Lane,
which arrived at Delaware Breakwater
yesterday and reported that she had been
herself by a Spanish gunboat off the
Cuban coast, July IA is not likely to
prove another Alliance incident. No
official information or complaint of the
subject has reached the State Department.,
and Judging from the statment of Capt.
Quick, master of the schooner, none is
likely to do so.
The story of horrible assault and
butchery comes from near Fulton, Mo. i,
Mrs. J. W. Cain, Is years old, the wife
of a young farmer, was criminally
assaulted and had her throat cut from
ear to ear The young woman had been
married only two months. The husband
found her body in the yard entirely
stripped of clothing. Half suspender
buckle, found under the body, fits exactly
a missing part from suspender buckle
on a negro who has been arrested The
hand of the woman also clutohed piece
of the negro's torn shirt. The negro was
bloody and some of Mrs. Cain 8 hair was
found sticking to his clothing. There
will probably be lynching.

The sinking of the Bark Giovanni.


Gloucester, July 81. Ship Agenor of
Boston arrived last night from Trapani
Captain Shellen reports that on June 1st
at a. M, fourteen miles northwest from
Cape Stantoni, he was run into by the
italian bark Giovanni of Venice, which
struck the Agenor ON the starboard side
doing considerable damage. The Giovanni
fioated for six hours when she sank. The
crew took to the boats and were rescued
by the Agenor.
There was seven knot breeze at the
time and the bark could have been run
ashore and the cargo possibly saved She
was from Monteviedio for Marseilles,
loaded with bone.
Captain Shellen says he had the
Giovanni's crew on board ten days and
did all he could for their comfort. June
Il, when9, about, one mile off
Gibraltar they took to their boats for
the purpose of landing, Captain Seien
sending letter by them to the United
States consul at that place, informing
him of the collision and declaring thai
any story that the Agenoor was to blame,
was erroneous.
He did not ask the wrecked seamen to
leave his vessel; it was their own sugges.
tion. The story that his ship was short
of provisions is false. but he did not have
enough to last both crews across the
Atlantic and had they made the passage
he would have stopped at Gibraltar for
additional provisions.
The story that the distressed seaman
were refused permission to land by the
commandant Of Gibraltar when requested
by United States Consul Sprague,
Captain Shellen thinks must be errone-
GUS, for that is post where no such
difficulty is ever encountered.
The Agenor is owned by Messrs. e.
Williams & Co. of Boston

Evidence of Foul Murder.

San Diego, CAL, July 25. Authentic
advices have been received that Martin
B. Hall, who left San Diego, June II, for
Phoenix, Arizona, was found dead thirty
miles from Kingman few days ago, to-
gether with three bodies of other men
who left Kingman for one of the mining
camps in that part of the country. No
particulars are known as to how the men
met their death, only the fact that they
had been foully murdered. This was
plainly seen by the condition of the
bodies, which were horribly .mutilated,
and the heads Of all of them, were crushed
in,
This is all the information that has
been received by Mrs Hall, who, since
her husbands departure for Arizona has
been awaiting a request to join him.
Halls body was the only one Of four that
could be identified and this only by
means of papers of an Odd Fellows lodge
in Kansas where he was a, member
All the bodies were horribly decom-
posed, the men having evidently met
their fate soon after leaving Kingman.
Persons somewhat familiar with the
surroundings of Kingman, ono of the
widest portions of the country, believe
the men We're killed by treacherous
Chimehueyas or Indians.

TROOPS HAVE STARTED.
A Prospect That There VIII be Many
"Good Indians" at jackson Hole Soon.


Cheyenne, Wy, July 25.-The entire
population of the jackson Hole district
is gathered at Marysyale, small settle
ment near the Grosventre river.
There are in the settlement sixty-f1ve
men, nearly all frontiersmen, and all
capable of making good fight There
are also thirty five women and forty
children
During the past week the Jackson Hole
people in view of the coming fight have
sent couriers and letters to the settle
ments fifty miles east of them, at the head
waters of the Big Wind river, and thirty
miles south to the Mormon settlements
in Salt Valley, unita county, asking for
aid
Settlers from these places are on their
way to reinforce them. 1t is estimated
that two hundred Bannocks are in the
mountains surrounding the settlement
Fully as many Shoshones are east of the
settlement, but it is not expected they
will take part in the hostilities.
Seven companies of infantry stationed
at Fort Russell, this city, are ON waiting
orders to move if occasion demands, on
telegra phic notice.
A messenger has just reached the tele-
graph station from jackson Hole saying
the Indians have placed themselves in
readiness to fight today. These messen-
gers, from the best information they can
get think the dispute will be settled be-
fore troops can have time to arrive.
General Coppinger, who was ordered to
assume command of the troops to be sent
against the Bannock Indians, left Omaha
this morning for the seat of the trouble
Last evening he ordered four troops of
the ninth cavalry of Fort Robinson to
start at daylight. They started on a
special train.

st. Clair, Mich, July 25.-The 9th
annual meet of the Northwestern Rowing
association opened today. In the junior
four cared shell event, with four starters

decision of the umpire on the protest is
withheld. Lefevre of the Mutuals of
Detroit won the Junior single scull
event, rowing away from Giees, also Of
the Mutuals, and Fred Geirs of the
Torontos The Mutuals won the junior
pair oars The others finished many
lengths behind. The tandem canoe race
was won by Goul and Noack of Detroit
boat club, over Reynolds and Barcross of
the same club. The course was one
mile straight away, and it was won in
304. The Junior double clubs were
won by the Torontos in Is. 46 1-2. The
Mutuals were far behind.
