Judge Townsend says there is DO
necessity for citizens to disturb their
imaginations over the city being de-
Drived of taxes due because of the
recent ruling of the district court in
the demurrer to the complaint in the
Dieter case. He will Immediately
present the case in an amended form
and go ahead. Even if the city should
lose its title claim to properties seized
for taxes, there would still be the lien
on the property until the back taxes
were paid

I-ACONIC | But IMPRESSIVE

Mo- long since, IN a certain
New England ciry, four CONNER
cial travellers met for the first
time at the hotel table. With that
genial bonhomie peculiar to the
craft, they were soon engaged IN
conversation. In a few moments
one of them said:
"Gentlemen, suppose We begin,
being all strangers. with the gen
tleman opposite me, to introduce
ourselves and our firms business. I"
This was unanimously agreed
to.
Said number one, 81 am Dash,
and l represent the house Of Pain
& Co., selling glass bottles"
Said number two, "Well, gentle
men, perhaps it is no chance that
l come next, for represent David
& Co.; l am Davis, and l sell the
stuff that goes into bottles. | sell
wines and liquors.
There was a moments silence
as number three said. THAT, gen
tlemen, does seem a little strange,
but perhaps there is fatality
about this. l am Jones, Of the
firm of Justin & Co., dealers in
undertakers' goods"
Number four now remained s.
lent and suggested that it would
be we'll not to pursue the subject
further, and that it had been we'll
never to have started it.
After much urging to complete
the chain he said, "Gentlemen, it
is indeed a fatality. am Dean,
of Hecker & Co., and I am taking
orders for gravestones.

could be heard. Such conduct

Ii HUNG IN WASHINGTON.
The Chinese viceroy Visits the Capital and
Sees the Sights.

Washington, September Ali Hung
AT O'Clock Gen. Miles accompanied by
his young son and party of officers
called to pay their respects. The yiceroy
took a violent fancy to.Gen. Miles son and
piled him with questions about his school
and what he expected to become when
man. He asked Gen. Miles how old he
was and when the general told him he
had served with Grant, the vioeroy be-
came deeply interested and asked numer-
Gus questions about Grants army life.
After his interview eX-Secretary Foster
took the viceroy to call on Secretary Car
llsle's at the latter's residence. The vice.
roy spent over an hour in the discussion
OF finance amt tariff with Secretary Car
Isle and he was amazed and gratified
with the secretary's knowledge of the
Chinese system. Lii declared that Mr..
Carlisle would be the ereatest man in
China if he went there. The vioeroy de-
clined to take any further trips today.
He retired at once to his apartments and
went to sleep. At he came down to the
dinner rendered in bis honorssby ex-Secre-
tary Foster.
At the conclusion of the dinner Gen.
Foster made few remarks in which he
expressed the great pleasure of his
countrymen growing out of the viceroy's
| visit to the capital and their regrets that
! his excellency's urgent duties at home
made his stay 30 short. Now that he was
| about to depart on IL long journey across
| the continent and ocean everyone desired
to wish him good health and happiness
and long life of further usefulness to
his country and tho world.
| Ii Hung Chang responded by speech
l yyh oh mot mil In Srr1o
the United States and intimated that he
would introduce American methods into
China. When he left the banquet hall he
went to his apartments and retired for
the night. Tomorrow he will make a
trip to Mt. Vernon.

which IL measured only by the posi-
hility. fortunately remote, of Democratic
success.
The last numbe of the National
Blmetalils admits that free silver coin
age mean no benefit to the possessOrs of
fixed incomes, and this admission is sn
admission that it meaDs harm for these,
and he failed to be able to discriminate
between such a class; the creditor class,
and the laborer who at the close of a
days work becomes a creditor. He liked
to think the stand of the Republican
party would be the same ms today were
free coinage to make US all rich beyond
the dreams of avarice if those riches
could be acquired only at the cost of
and private dishonor
Inc speaker then impressiyely recapitu
lated the arguments against free silver,
making 1T clear that the issue was be-
tween the gold and silver -basis, and in
volyed no question of bi-metallism in
which he thoroughly believed, and as be-
tween driving away gold or limiting the
use of silver he preferred the latter. He
Indignantly repelled the charge that we
were pursuing any but a truly American
policy In thus protecting our own, and
said that policy advocated by such an
American As Frye, by Reed, and by
Blaine himself was American enough for
him. He denied also the charge that the
Republican party has no remedy for the
distressed condition of the land and
after an exhaustive argument on the
effects of the Wilson tariff said that our
remedy was to strike that from the stat
ute book. make our people buy the pro-
ducts of American labor, keep at home
the two hundred million dollars of freigh BIT
paid to foreign ship owners, and turn
hack to our own shores the golden tide
never again to leave us. He closed with
an appeal to Democrats to stand by the
worthisst traditions of their party.

SET DUMP CART FLYING.
Train Strikes Team at WestbrOOk
Yesterday.

Driver Thrown From His Seat But Not
Drove on to Track without Hearing the
Train.
The 7.50 west bound train on the Port
land g. Rochester struck one of Alonzo
Libby's work teams at the Spring street
crossing at Westbrook yesterday morn
ing, throwing the driver some feet to the
side of the track, narrowly but luckily
not fatally injuring him, badly injuring
one Of the horses and partially demolish-
ing the cart. The driver was on his way
to the city stone crusher with a dump
cart for load of crushed stone. As he
approached the crossing, the cart was
making considerable noise and he did not
hear the approaching train until it was
upon him.
The engineer of the train had luckily
seen him and succeeded in partially
coming to stop. Tho man on the cart
had time to jump but thinking he could
save his horses as well as himself tried to
rush them by. But he misoalculated and
the engine struck the cart just behind
the driver q seat. The man was thrown
some distance to one side of the track.
One of the horses broke away and the
cart with the other horse was dragged
about 100 feet in front of the engine.
The man was picked up aud carried to
near by house and DR.. Smith called.
1t was found that he was not fatally in
jured. He was terribly bruised and it is
thought two ribs nre broken, but no in
ternal injuries were sustained.
The horse that was dragged in front of
the engine along the sleepers is so badly
injured that he will probably have to be
killed.
The driver of the team states that he
realized it was train time and stopped
his team and listened few hundred feet
from the track but not. hearing any train
appI osching, started up again and was SO
near the cars when he saw them that 1t
was impossible for him to avoid the
collision.
