Orleans County Notes.

Vim. 7. Perry of Boston while putting
the new sewing machines in Tuck &
Moore's factory at Newport met with a
severe accident. In cutting in bench with
bracket saw fitting machine, the saw
slipped out and the point penetrated
deeply into the front of his right leg,
above the knee. He bed profusely aud,
but for prompt action by the factory
people and physician, he would soon
have been beyond help. At about the
same time this accident occurred, a tele-
gram came to Mr.. Perry stating the
death of his father.
In the case of state VS.. DR.. E. G. Stevens
for illegal fishing, the verdict was guilty
and fine 500 and costs. This was quite
an interesting case, particularly to those
who enjoy fishing Last May, Hon.
Horace w. Bailey Of Newbury, the state
fish commissioner, took from DR.. Stevens
at Willoughby Lake, 5 lines so feet long,
set with single hook. Commissioner
Bailey claimed that these were set lines
and that fishing with them was illegal
DR.. Stevens claimed that they were not
set lines, as there was only one hook on
a line, that to constitute them set lines
there must be two or more hooks on
each line. Judge Ross held that any
INTENDED line hitched or made fast to the
shore, was set line and so charged the
jury. Dr. Stevens takes the case to the
supreme court on exceptions. The result
of this case will be watched with interest
as it's the first set line fishing case in this
county.

TURKEY AND THE POWERS.

Again IL Is announced that the set
Element OF the Turkish question is in
sight. During the past week a series OF
kilograms have been sent out from Lon
don stating that at last Great Britain.
France. and Russia have come TO an
agreement as to the remedy 10 be applied
I'm Turkey. and have decided upon joint
action against the Sultan. As to the de-
tails OF the agreement, these telegroms
are somewhat contradictory OF one an
other. but upon the main point they con-
cur sufficiently to encourage the
hone that this time the three great
Powers mean business.
And this hope is stimulated by the
tone in which the matter is treated by the
London papers. some OF which are sup
posed to have received the inspiration OF
their articles from high official sources
The Times is classed among the latter
and while It is very guarded ia the ian
guage 1t uses I'm discussing the agree
ment. great deal may be read between
the lines. This reading leads to the cor
cluslon that there is no doubt that fne
three Powers have determined positively
to submit a scheme OF reform 10 Abdul
Hamid. and to accompany its submrttal
with unmistakable notice that II he does
not act upon 1t as they expect him 10
do he will be summarily coerced into so
doing.
Another reason for believing that a
definite agreement has been reached
by the three Powers, and that that agree
ment contemplates summary measures
in case the Sultan should prove obstinate,
is found in the part Russia, IL Is stated,
Is assigned to play, in case coercion shall
be necessary. She would gain a coign Of
vantage. the denial Of which TO her here
tofore made her the chief obstacle in the
contamination of concert of action.
The only obstacle to the carrying out
Of the agreement is said to be the op-
position Of Austria-Hungary to the con-
cessions that have been made 10 Russia.
but II seems to be expected that that op-
position can be removed. Besides as
Germany has declared her purpose TO re-
main neutral, and Italy, in any matter
that did not directly involve her obliga-
lions to the Triple Alliance. would be
apt 10 be on the side Of Great Britain,
Austria Hungary il hardly in position to
give serious trouble in the premises.

Great numbers Of the citizens OF New
York are now clamoring for municipal
ownership Of the gas-works OF that city.
being of the opinion that the price now
charged them (Sl2O IS too high. The
example Of birmingham, Eng, has been
cited TO show that cheap gas can be
made by q city with substantial profit.
The showing made by Glasgow, Scot
land. is mentioned also as illustrating
the advantages of municipal control. In
1869 Glasgow paid 100000 for the gas
works. which had been owned by corpo-
ratious. Since then the city has spent
over $4,000 in improving and increas-
ing the plant. and it has reduced the
price Of gas from S1.14 10 90 cents thou-
sand feet and made a fine profit.
II is stated that Glasgow owns It's
own gas-works, electric-light plant
street-railway lines. and water system
and derives from them revenue which
more than pays the expenses OF the
CITY Government, so that the property
owners in Glasgow do not have to pay
taxes.
