Steam Mill Burned.

The church bells pealed forth, Monday
at 2;3O A. NJ, saying the steam mill was On
fire, and with river of water running back
of it nothing could be done, and before
daylight 1t was blackened mass of ruins.
More prepared stock ready for market
was in the dry house than usual, and very
little could be saved. The 20 workmen
looked at the flames and felt that they
were thrown out of a good place to work
and that their families must realize the eff
feet of lighted match or a stray coal from
the stove, for little is known of the cause
which produced it. Many of the men lost
tools which belonged to them. Frank
Dickinson's were estimated to be worth
500 or more, d. G. Shows $50 or more.
Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Mortified,
as the insurance of $500, was not one-half
the value of the building and machinery.
The engine was not destroyed, but prob
ably damaged. 1t is hoped the business
may be carried on, either by rebuilding or
hiring MILL for the loss of it would make
quite difference in our village. 1t has
aided all other branches Of business.

The New York World thinks that there

congress providing for representation of
the United States In the impending inter-
national monetary conference. II says
that 'the report that the president will
decline 10 exercise his discretion because
he does not like the terms of the resolu-
ton ts incredible"
IN certainly should be. The resolution
does not bind the government to accept
the conclusions OF the conference. even
should such a desirable contamination be
attained. Its object Is 10 secure inter
nationally fxity Of value between gold
and silver as money by means of a COM
mon ratio between these metals with free
mintage at such ratfo.' Any such agree
ment must before becoming effective be
supplemented by legislation
The sentiment In favor OF such con-
ference and the representation of this
government therein n well nigh universal
In this country. The people OF the United
States are In very large majority BIZ
mstaiiists and the main. II not the only.
objection that exists against N return to
the status existing prior TO 1873 Is the fear
that. without concerted action by leading
commercial nations, the reconciliation Of
silver cannot be safely undertaken. The
president has IL In his power to prove
the truth of his declaration In HIS recent
bond message that he Is mot unfriendly

the resolution of congress respecting an
international convention. and there Is no
apparent reason for doubling his inten-
ton To do so.
