PILLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Milo Gray's Arrest

Charged with the Murder of Hts wife
Causes Local sensation---1Is Resi-
dence Here and I'm this Vicinity.
Considerable interest was excited about
town Saturday and Sunday when it became
known that officers were here after a man
named Milo Gray, well known here, charged
with the atrociOus murder of his wife in
the vicinity of Woodsville, n. II. She dis
appeared four years ago last August Her
skeleton was found in a cellar of a desert
ed house last week. Within a few months
after she disappeared, about April L, 1892,
Gray came here with another woman,
claiming to be his wife, and secured work
in the shops of the Vermont Farm Ma
chine company. He stayed till July of
that year, boarding, with his wife, at the
Fall Mountain boarding house. They
then went on to a farm owned by Livery
man W. p. Cassidy at Westminster West,
where they stayed till March, 1894, leav-
ing there with very unsavory reputation
for dishonesty. They then leased farm
located about two miles south Of the coun-
ty buildings in Westmoreland, taking a
lease of it for ten years. He was found
and arrested there Saturday and taken to
Haverhill for trial. AT the time of his ar
rest he had % head of cattle and four
horses on the place which were owned by
George Cory of Saxtons River, out on a
lease or conditional sale, which Mr.. Cory
has taken back. A large number of peo-
pie in this end of the county have been &C
quainted with Mr.. Gray in the past few
years, and his arrest on so serious charge
as wife murder is great surprise.

Bellows Falls Manufactures 60 TO For
eign COuntrIes.

The Vermont Farm Machine company
have this week shipped one of their largest
sized fruit-driers to the island of Jamaica
to be used there for the drying of the cof-
fee beans of that country. 1t is capacitat-
ed for 60 bushels of apples per day, and
will dry many more bushels of the beans.
A few weeks ago two of these large driers
were shipped to the island of Trinidad for
the purpose of evaporating bananas, which
is coming to be a great industry there.
The company received a number of sam
Piles of the dried fruit for distribution
among the Office men. The bananas are
quartered lengthwise and when dried make
very delicate and palatable fruit, which
is rapidly coming into use in some locali-
ties. The device made by the Farm Ma
chine company seems remarkably well
adapted for this purpose, and the making
of them for the foreign trade is becoming
quite an addition to their work. Their
implements of every kind are already ship
ped to nearly every country in the world.

REPUBLICAN COWARDIcE.
Contemplate silence of tho Presidential
Aapirants.

Contemplate silence of tho Presidential
Aspirants.
Mr.. Elkins, who is said by his back-
ers to be certain OF the next republican
presidential nomination, has made Q
great discovery. He declines TO dis
cuss the outlook because at pre- sent
there is not q breath OF political air
stirrinp.- and it will be better TO wait
till something is done before talking.
A similar conclusion seems TO
been reached by other republican
a~spirants. for all Of them have stopped
talking. We do not think their silence
is due to the absence Of political air,
but to the presence Of too much silver
issue. Ii is difficult to talk now with
ont saying something about that, and
as not a man of them has the courage
to give his honest opinion on II, all OF
them are forced TO be silent. They
may have discovered also that nothing
is 50 deadly to a presidential aspirant
as the blunder Of being too previous
They all realize this to a certain ex-
tent, but when they see one OF their
number showing his boom upon the
track. all the rest of them shoy theirs
a little too, lest he get the advantage
Of position. II they will agree to keep
ouiet for the summer, 1t will be better
for all of them, for the public will not
have its attention called so steadily u
their moral cowardice.-N. y. Post.

INCREASED EXPORTS.
Prosperity Returning Through n Dso-
ocratic TArin.


Amonv the other facts Enthusiastically
showinv the revival OF business is'an
increase in Il export trade. New
York merchants within the past Few
DAYS have been commenting upon TINS
and the reason they assign for ~ Is
remarkable illustration Of the solidar-
ity Of the commercial nations OF the
world.
1t has pleased a certain school OF
| American politicians for many years
past to represent international COM
merce as analogous 20 war. they
have held out the idea that when one
nation gains anything from trade An
other necessarily loses They have
treated imports as a calamity. and cx'
ports alone as worthy Of consideration.
They have quite ignored the fact that
international is mainly an
exchange Of commodities, md That II q
nation does not buy it cannot sell DC
casionally exceptions 10 this rule may
be noted, but il is incontestably true
in the long run. There is no nation
that can go on for years exporting
commodities without importing other
20 nav for them. for the simple reason
that other nations cannot go on pay
ing for their imports in money, for II
n few years they would have no money
left. AS a rule, imports must be paio
for by exports. Hence when imports
increase exports must increase In
similar ratio.
The protection papers have beef
making a great cutlery about the IN
crease of our imports for the past iisca
year, comparing them with the PAM
period that extended from July ], ls9a
70 June 80. 1894. Our imports the
were small because our ability TO pun
! chase was limited. Much has bee
said about the large increase OF import
Of woolens during the fiscal year Jus
