OF modern civilization are the rail

man race, 50 that each individual
may prof by the lives of all his fell
low men far and near. The common
school means the acquisition on the
part Of each hoy and girl. whether
rich or poor, of the necessary knowl-
edge required To read the newspaper.
and, when grown, TO he men and
women, to make use ofthe railroad to
exchange the products IF their own in
dustry These implements of human
invention arc desired for the sake of
the general welfare and to promote
the cause Of democracy.

Roberts, both of Litchfield, were as
signed to defend him. Throughout the
proceedings he had little to say. About
fifteen East Canaan people testified to
depredations committed by Rippitt in
their village. The evidence was so
strong against him that the jury was
out but few minutes. Rippitt lived
in a hut in the woods near East
Canaan. He subsisted by stealing
from farmers.

On Oct. 1 the jewelry store of j.

Mr.. Ragatz. 1t is probable that the
rest of the jewelry was shipped to

by King in the United States express
office Oct. 8 and taken out of the Chi
cago office by the consignee the fol-
lowing day. Mr.. Ragatz has offered
$500 for the recovery of his goods and

There is little doubt in the mind of
the authorities now but what these

they were in the city on that day. 1t
is likely that some of the goods will

NEW YORK'S HEALTH OFFICER
TAKES HOLD WITH \ VIM.
The Benhor in Quarantine-Cr and
Vessel Disinfected-TWo Deaths
Oh the Voyage.

New York, oct. 1.-THE British
steamer benhOr, which arrived yester-
day afternoon from Yokohama, Japan,
Shanghai, Foo Chow and other Chi
IeSe ports, was detained in quarantine
because two Chinese sailors died of
cholera while the vessel was still in
the Asia tic waters. When the steamer
arrived at quarantine in the afternoon,
Dr.. Doty, health officer of this port,
at once ordered the most vigorous sort
Of disinfectiOn instituted and the en-
tire crew md their effects were trans
ported to Swinburne island with all
the interior fittings of the ship. The
crew was treated to a warm bath, all
effects subjected to a steam of heat
go degrees, which effectually dispOSes
of all germs. In the meantime the
cabin, the floors and fixtures were
washed with bi-chloride of mercury.
The health officer says that the ship
will be held until he is perfectly sat
isfed the infectious germs are abso-
lutely stamped out.

SOUND MONEY WINS1
THE 16 TO 1 MEN KNOCKED OUT
IN THE CONGRESS.
A SENSATION WAS SPRUNG
The North, East and South Defeat
the West by a Big Majority-Con-
gressional Action Against the
Beef Trust Favored-Farmers' Ma
tional Congress.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 15.-Soon after
the farmers national congress re-
sumed its sitting yesterday morning,
a sensation was sprung in the form
of 4 light on free silver which re-
suited in the complete defeat of the
16-tO-1 forces. BY a vote of 251 to
1O4 the congress refused to insert the
words at a ratio not to exceed Is 10
L. in the resolution asking congress
to Use both gold and silver ON a par-
lty and calling for an international
conference on the monetary question.
The resolution was one which had
just come from the committee on res
olutions and was reported favora bly,.
In substance it deprecated the pres
ent condition of the finances of this
country and called upon the president
Of the United States to call an inter
national congress Of all nations will
ing to unite in the equal use of both
gold and silver. Then the free silver
delegates wanted a paragraph
changed so as to read willing to
unite in the equal use of both gold
and silver at a ratio not to exceed Il
to L. A number of delegat eA
jumped to their feet and it soon was
evident that the congress was opposed
to the amendment. The question
was put to a vote and resulted in the
rejection of the amendment. The
states known as the silver states ia
vored the amendment and the east,
north and south voted almost sofdly
against it. The fight was made pure
ly on the merits of the question. The
victory of sound money was empha-
sized later in the day when a resolu
ton declaring the opposition to the
further issue Of interest-bearing bonds
or notes under any circumstances was
lost.
A resolution favoring congressional
enactment against the beef trust was
adopted.

CHARGED THE CROWD.
The Craig-Creedon Fight Causes
Considera BILE Excitement.

London, Oct. 15.-FTank Craig, the
Harlem Coffee Cooler" and Dan.
Creedon, the we'll known American
fighter, fought twenty-round fight
at the National sporting club last
night and Creedon won in the twen-
tieth round. Craig pursued aggressive
tactics from the beginning and in
the sixth round knocked Creedon
down and almost out. The latter,
however, got his second wind and
staggered the "Cooler" in the eighth
with a terrific right ON the jaw and
from this point on to the twentieth
round had the colored man completely
at his mercy. The progress Of the
fight and the result caused immense
eI element among the roughs outsire
and the police were obliged to charge
the crowd to enable the club members
to max their exit.

SHORT OF FUNDS.
The Severity of the Crisis Is Great
but Temporary.

New York, Oct. 1.-The Congrega-
tional home missionary society is in
unusual straights financially. 1t is in
debt to the banks $4,000, it's treas
ury is empty and inasmcuh as only
100000 of the Indebtedness Is Sc
cured by collateral the banks have re-
fused further uncovered loans. The
salaries Of the home missionaries
were due Oct. 1. Failure to receive
them means in many cases borrowing
OF local banks at high rates of inter-
est. The society is absolutely &C.
pendent for the time being upon the
gifts Of churches and individuals.
The present situat ton is due not only
to hard times, but to the chronic
omission Of Congrega tional churches
TO take their missionary collections
in the summer and early fall. The
severity Of the crisis is great but
temporary.

HOME OF JOHN BURROUGHS.
His Farm on the Hudson Where He
Raises Tons of Grapes.

Sleeping ON board the steamer at
RondOut, it's destination, and rising
with the lark next morning, an early
train left me at West Park, the home
OF John Burroughs, the naturalist and
essayist, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. [ met him ON his way down
from the hills, in picturesque rustic
garb with a broad-rimmed gray hat
Tapping in the breeze. He had been
experimenting the clearing of a muck
swamp.
With a cordial welcome he led the
way to the house, a pleasant stone
building approa ched by a winding
drive shaded by fine trees. The ma
terial for his dwelling Mr.. Burroughs
had found ON the hillside about a mile
away, a natural quarry, where bowl
derS detached by time and storms
may be had for the carting away.
We were soon seated at the dinner
table, where delicious Hudson river
shad played leading part; my host
drank clam juice, a specific, he said,
against indigestion; and, munger ap-
peased, we sauntered down the gar
den to the study, a One-story building
overlooking the Hudson, where Mr..
Burroughs spends a good deal of his
time, sometimes sleeping there O.
nights.
An open hearth heats the den in
winter, and the venerable author has a
liking for the odOr of burning birch
wood.
Facing the desk, streWn with the
usual litter OF a literary man, hangs
a portrait of Tennyson, adorned with
a birds nest, and on the other walls
are pinned likenesses of other literary
giants. A comfortable couch, book
case, a ia bic laden with books and
one or two chairs complete the furni-
ture
Mr.. Burroughs has about 20 acres Of
land, II of which are devoted to grape
culture, and two more acres are given
over to currants and peaches, but these
are shortly to make way for more
vines, as they yield a better return.
Grapes are a passion with me-"
said my host, and he then initiated
me into the mysteries of their culture.
The more a vine sees of the pruning
hook the more fertile it becomes, and,
said he, eff literary men pruned their
work as l do my vines their produc-
tons would show the advanta &c of it"
The golden OriOle, l learned, is a
determined topper in his love for grape
juice, and with his sharp beak will
stab the grape, suck up the juice until,
to quote Mr.. Burroughs, ''it becomes
a regular debauch,' and three or four
birds will ruin tons and tons of
grap pes in a short time.
The grape harvest is gathered from
the middle Of August to the end Of
September, and Mr.. Burroughs yield
realizes about 80 tons yearly, his prin-
cipal markets being New York and
Boston. East coast grapes ripening
sooner than those Of California, en-
ables this side farmer to get better
prices for his produce than are pos
sible after the markets are flooded
with the gatherings from western
vines.
