MACHINE MANUFACTURER

Wants Ellsworth to Put up Ten Thou
sand In Cash.
Last week a letter was received by J. d.
Farrell, Of this city, from J. c. Head, Of
Lawrence, Mass, who stated that he was
in the market for place to locate an ex-
tensive machine manufacturing business,
and asking what inducements Ellsworth
would offer to secure the factory.
The writer said he had gotten up a pa
tent lathe for the manufacture Of carriage
hubs. 1--WE should proba bly, bring the
whole c. F. Pettingili plant, consisting
Of fifty or sixty different wood max ing
machines" This plant, he added, had
been established twenty years.
The letter was turned over to j. A. Pc
tiers, jr., chairman OF the board OF trade
committee on manufactures, Who imme-
distely wrote MIR. Heald asking furth her
particulars as to What the concern want
ed in the shape OF building, power, etc.
In reply he received letter I'm which the
writer repeated much that had been said
in his previous letter, and added that, in
addition to the business already estab-
lished they desired to monopolize the
production Of several valuable machines
pertaining to the manufacture OF nov
elites.
In the machine shops they would en-
ploy about twenty-five skilled mechanics,
and in the manufacture OF novelties from
fifty to seventy-tive boys and girls.
Then Mr.. Head submits to the people
OF Ellsworth the proposition that they
organize stock company, "to which we
will sell all patents, sixty machines, tools,
fixtures, etc, for $50 200, for which we
will take $4,000 in stock and 500 in
cash. The company, he says, must be
capitalized at 81, 600.
This letter has not been answered. The
matter will probably be submitted to the
board of trade Friday evening.
Ellsworth people will want to learn
more OF the scheme before they will be
willing to invest.

A little girl in a Pennsylvania town,
in saying her prayers the other night,
was told to pray for her father and
mother, who were both very ill, and for
one OF the servants, who had lost her
husband. She faithfully did as she was
told, and then, impressed with the dreary
condition of things, added on her own
account: "And now, oh God, take good
care of Yourself, for if anything should
happen to You we should all go to pieces.
Amen.n

Robert Gerry, of the Falls, is a
pretty good democrat, and he has a
son away out in Pasco, Washington,
who is also pretty good democrat,
but evidently he likes to have nice
things said about his native State of
Maine, so he sends US copy of the
Seattle Post Intelligence, from which
we clip the following:
The State of Maine probably exerts
more influence in Congress than any
other state in the Union To-day she
has the speakership and three i'm
portant committee chairmanships. 1t
Is principally due to the fact that
when she sends to Washington city a
representative who is above the
average, he is kept there.

EVIDENCE OF A MURDER.
6ioodstained Garments Worn BY John H..
s-Brownr9gyof Dublin Found in
N Freiobfcnr

SIOUX CITY. Iowa. April 27.-Evi-
dences of murder of which John II.
Brownrigg, late of Dublin, Ireland, is sup
posed TO have been the victim have been
found by the Sioux City police in a Chi
cago, Burlington and Northern boxcar re-
Gently received here from some point in
Missouri not vet known to the officers. The
car was switched into the yards here to be
loaded with ties. The men engaged in the
work, on opening it, discovered on the
floor a bloodstained canvas coat, hat, shirt
and newspaper. The coat and hat were
cut in several places as though a knife had
been thrust through them.
In the coat pocket was a letter written
by Edward S. Roe of Dublin to John L.
Roe of Union, Vancouver Island, intro
ducing John III. Brownrigg, who, it was
explained, would leave November l, 1895,
for the latter place to locate.
The. local authorities think Brownrigg
was murdered in the car and his body was
thrown out. They are investigating with
a view to ascertaining it's starting point.
1t has already been traced to st. Louis, but
as the trains for this section are all made
up there, it is by no means certain that the
clothing was not left in the car before that
city was reached.

RIOTS AMONG S|C|L|ANS
Populace of Palermo Incensed
Against the Imposition Of
Unjust Taxes.
Soldiers Stoned and an Attempt Made
to Open the Prison and Re.
lease ConvictS.

PALERMO, SICILY, April 27.-There was
q riot to-day at Paterno, a city ten miles
northwest of Catania. The populace
which consists chiefly of the lower classes,
became incensed against the imposition of
the communal taxes, and made demon
stration at one time which threatened to
become very serious.
The mob attacked the house of the
Syndic or Mayor and smashed the win
dows and destroyed number of street
lamps. They then set fire to the Office of
the Octroi, where the tax on provisions,
etc., entering the city is collected, and to
a number OF sentry boxes, and they were
destroyed. The mob was in a most dam
gerous humor and. the gendarmes were
powerless to quell the disturbance.
The military were called out, but the
rioters stoned the troops, severely wound
ing an officer and three soldiers An
attempt was made to open the prison and
release the convicts, but this was for
tunately prevented by the troops. The
situation was becoming extremely critical
when the Prefect of Catania arrived on
the scene.
He finally, after several fruitless at
tempts, got the crowd to listen to him.
He promised that some of the more bur-
densome of the grievances of the people
would be redressed, and by his concilia-
tory attitude ultimately calmed the pas
sions of the mob, which then dispersed.

FARGO, N. d., April 27.-The first cy-
clone in North Dakota since the Fargo
catastrophe in 1890 is reported west of
Barnes County last evening. The
cyclone formed in the southern end
of Lake Eckleson, moving in a zig
gag course in a northeasterly direction.
The first damage is reported at Sanborn,
where a schoolhouse and barn were COM
pletely demolished. The cloud was funnel
shaped and inky black at the bottom.
The people at Sanborn were greatly fright
ened and took refuge in cellars. The
storm veered slightly and passed without
further damage.
The force of the storm was greatest at
Hobart where all the farm buildings of
Nels Munson were swept away. Mrs.
Munson rushed to the cellar where she
remained until the storm had passed. The
building was swept from over her head
and the cellar was filed with debris COM
pletely buryIng her, but fortunately she
escaped with few bruises. Mr.. Munson
was carried away with the house and was
found unconscious lying in a slough
fifty yards from where the building
had stood. His arms and legs
are broken and it is thought he is injured
internally. Recovery is doubtful. Farm
implements were twisted and broken and
scattered all over the farm, and the coal
stove cannot be found. The path of de-
structioD was only few feet in width and
included but few buildings in its course of
about eight miles. The force of the storm
was spent at Valley City. Wires between
here and Hobart are down.

HoitId Lie to Obtain Rifles aud a Lot
of Cartridges.
NEW YORK, n. Y, April 27.-Senor
Palma of the Cuban Junta has received a
letter from General Antonio Maceo, dated
Ell Rubi, Pinar del Rio, April ID, in which
he says:
with US everything goes on very we'll,
and there is no doubt of our ability to tri-
umph, if by no other means, by exhausting
Spain. However, as an early termination
of the war must be sought for, and as /
read in the papers that it is discussed
whether the United States should inter-
vene or not, and | have no doubt that, i'm.
PEELED by your patriotism, you make
every effort to obtain whatever NAV be
beneficial for Cuba, l take the liberty
of remarking that the surest way
way of bringing the war to very early
termination would be to place her some
10000 rifles and 100000 cartridges. If
the United States, observing their own
laws, will not interfere with the shipments
of arms and ammunition for US, it would
be great service rendered to Cuba with
out provoking any complications with
Spain, for as understand those shipments
would be perfectly legal.
II have been compelled by circum-
stances to resort to extreme measures.
General Weyler, in his wild desire of gain.
ing glory and of obstructing the recogni-
ton of our belligerency, went in his proc
lamation so far as to promise the planters
that they would be able to grind their
sugar-cane, while to the Government
he gave the assurance that the
elections could be peaceablv held, and
to the country at large he declared
that the Pinar del Rio and some
other provinces would be soon pacified.
Some of the planters expressing them
selves willing 20 believe that the general
would kee p his promise began to get ready
for grinding the cane. Under the circum-
stances l made up my mind to invade
Pinar del Rio again in order to show
that we are fully able to compel obedience
to the orders of our Government. l am
perfectly satisfied with the success which
has attended all my operations during this
second invasion which shall last as long as
there is anything to de stroy from which
Spain may derive reven ue."
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-28
WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO POP

The rebels made an attack upon the
town of Sitio Grande, near Sagu, but were
repulsed. Maxine Gomez is reported at
Saneti Spiritus, organizing his forces for a
new invasion of the Matanzas and Havana
provinces. He is said by other reports to
have already started to march his men in
pursuance of his purpose of invasion in
the provinces mentioned. It is believed,
however, that he will not be successful, as
the Government is taking strong meas
ures to prevent him from accomplishing
his object.
The elections passed off iietly yester-
day, and resulted in the efSstion of con-
servative and Autonomist candidates.
