Death of WIN. IL. English.

VIM. H. English, 70, died at his home
in indianapolis, Ind, Friday. He was
lawyer by profession, and in 1852 was
elected to Congress as a Democrat. He
served from 1858 to 1861, when he resigned
and engaged in banking. He was rromi-
nently identified with the legislation of that
period and was the author of compro-
mise measure in relation to the admission
of Kansas as a state, which became a law
and was prolific theme of controversy in
the heated political contests of that day
under the name of "the English BILL"
From 1853 till 1851 he was one of the re-
gents of the Smithsonian institution in
Washington. In 1880 Mr.. English was
unanimously nominated for vice president
on the ticket with Gen. Hancock by the
Democratic national convention. He was
president of the Indiana historical society
and is the author of historical and bio
graphical work on the constitution and
lawmakers of that state. Mr.. English
leaves fortune of several million dollars.

THE RAGING ELEMENTS.
Bound Brook, n. j., Devastated
by Fire and Flood.

Three Vessels Wrecked on the New
England Coast Sunday---the Bristol,
Conn, Accident Resulted In Six
Deaths.
Bound Brook, N. j., was devastated by
two opposite elements, fire and water.
Thursday night of last week. The heavy
rain swelled the volume of water in the
Raritan river so that the arched openings
of the bridge of the New Jersey Central
railroad would not permit the water to
flow through. 1t backed up and inundat-
ed the town to the depth of five to 10 feet.
The people took refuge in the second sto-
ries of the houses. Many frail structures
were torn from their foundation, and num-
bers of dead animals went down in the
torrents. A man named Miller, whose
boat was overturned, was the only person
who was drowned. A quantity of lime in
Cooks lumber yard was Stacked by the
water, and ignited the surrounding piles
of lumber. The flames were famed by
herce wind, and as the fire department was
helpless because of the high water nothing
could be done to save the burning build
ings. The total damage in the town was
$4,000. The lower part of Morristown,
n. D., was flooded TO a depth of seven to
dam. The damage amounted to $50. 900.
The stretch of coast between Ports
mouth, n. H., and Ipswich, Mass, was
the scene of three wrecks Sunday, attend
ed by the loss of ten lives. One vessel
went ashore on Hampton Beach, another
ON Salisbury Beach and a third on Plum
Island. AT Hampton Beach, all the crew
OF the wrecked vessel, the schooner Glen
don, were saved; but everybody on board
the Florida, which was driven ashore at
Salisbury, persisted in sight of the people
on the strand. Three of those on board
the schooner ALBANIA, which pounded to
pieces on Plum Island, persisted with the
vessel. The life-savng crews did all that
was humanity possible, but the wrecks oc-
curing at the same time and at distance
of several miles from each other, much
time was unavoidaby lost by those who
sought to rescue the doomed seamen. This
part of the coast is so well lighted and so
well known to captains of coasting vessels
that the disasters are probably attributable
only TO the hazards of the sea, the superb
GRITTY OF storm over the strongest fabric
that the hands of man can put together.
The falling of the railroad bridge at
Bristol, Conn, on Thursday night was not
attended with so great loss of life as
nrst reported. Six men who went down
with the falling mass were drowned, and
the bodies of all but one have been recov-
cred.
John d. Capron, son of Charles S. Ca
prom of Uxbridge, Mass, junior member
OF the firm of Cole, Sr., d Co., at Med
way, was drowned in the Charles river at
Midway Thursday night while attempting
to raise the flashboards on the dam. The
board on which he was standing broke and
he was carried over the dam.

The Government VIII Receive SILL
OOO,OOO---the Vermont AIIotments.
The allotment of the new 4 per cent
bonds was made Saturday at the treasury
department in Washington. Geographi-
cally considered, the bonds are distributed
in round figures as follows: New York.
SIS, 00o,0 900; New England, $4,000, 900;
eastern states (other than New York;, So

100000; j. p Morgan & Co., and associ-
ates of New York got $50, 10, $50 at no.
6S71. This is regarded as an indication
that many bids from other cities we're made
through New York banks and brokers.
The proceeds of the bond sale will be close
to Sill 100000 They cannot be less than
SllO,6S7, 700, because that would have been
the amount If the entire award had been
made TO the Morgan syndicate, and every
bid accepted at above that rate increases
the net proceeds of the sale.
The following are the Vermonters who
got bonds:
F. w. Childs, Brattleboro, 500 at 112;

Easter sunday Comes April 9Th.

Easter Sunday this year falls on April 5.
The establishment of the Christian festi-
val of Easter, typical of the resurrection of
the Lord, was matter of much contro-
versy in the church for centuries, but was
finally established by the Gregorian calen-
dar adopted by the Roman church in 1852,
and Easter is always the first Sunday after
the full moon which happens upon or next
after March p, which date is the begin
ming of the ecclesiastical year. Therefore
the earliest date upon which Easter may
occur is March %. If the full moon should
fall on March 81, Easter is the following
Sunday. The latest date upon which the
festival may fall is April %. In 1901 and
1918 Easter fell on March 22, but that will
not occur again in this or the next century.
In 1886 it fell on April 25 and will do so
again in 1913.

Samuel II. Sawyer, 80, died suddenly
from heart disease Friday, in the railroad

New Cure for Consump,Ion.

A remedy for tuberculosis is announced.
1t was discovered by Dr. Cyrus Edison of
New York city, and tested and experiment
ed with by score of the best physicians
in and about New York. The treatment
consists of hypodermic injections of a new
remedy called aseptolin, the formula for
which has been made public. Two hun
dred and eighteen cases have been formal
ly reported upon by physicians, besides
those treated by Dr. Edison himself. TWEEN
ty-three of these patients have been dis
charged cured. SiXty-eight are so far
along toward complete recovery that the
attending physicians announce belief in
the certainty of cure. Ninety-one show
marked improvement, but have not yet
been under treatment long enough for the
the doctors to feel positive of coming re-
covery. Three have resisted the remedy
entirely. One died under treatment.

A new trial of William E. Chase for the
murder of John 4. Holloway of Glover be-
gan Monday at Newport.
An experiment will be made this year
with 1000 sea trout eggs which came from
Scotland. The attempt to hatch the eggs
of this fish has never before been attempt
ed in the United States. An effort will be
made by New York fish culturist, and the
small fish will be placed in the pure water
OF an inland lake. Lake Hortonia in Sud
bury will probably be selected.
The famous Green Mountain Stock
farms herd of Jersey cattle at Randolph
is TO be tested for tuberculosis. The state
cattle commission has for some time in
sisted that this herd was infected. Super
fetal examination has failed to detect any
ground for this belief. The herd numbers
nearly 800 head of the best Jersey strains,
and has national reputation, the butter
from the farm having won the highest
awards at the Worlds Fair and the Paris
exposition.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
McKone should Not he Psrdoned.


An application will be made for the par
don or the Communication of sentence of
John Y. McKane, the boss of Gravesend,
whose six-year term ia Sing Slug does not
expire until 1898. The prison physician
has certified that McKane is suffering from
lesion of the heart, Bright's disease and
asthma. McKane has had charge of the
construction of new buildings at Sing Sing
and it is claimed that he has saved the
state $4,000. Gen. Benjamin f. Tracy
and Edwin M. Shepard, who were the pros
ecuting attorneys on the McKane trial,
have signified their willingness to appear
before Gov. Morton in McKane's behalf,
on the ground that justice has been vindi-
Gated and that Mechanics sentence was a
heavy one under the circumstances.
The Springfield Republican is right when
it says editorially that there are the strong
est reasons why McKane should not be
pardoned unless release from prison is alb
solutely necessary to save his life. "Men
who will debauch the ballot, who will cheat
and swindle and defraud at elections, who
will corrupt voters, forge registration or
enrolment lists, encourage repeating and
illegal voting, or practice trickery and de-
ceit in order to win places for themselves
or their tools and friends, power for them
selves or victory for their party, are worse
enemies to the country and society than
airy other class of criminals, and when So
ciety gets its grasp on one of the worst of
these criminals only the very strongest
reasons should induce il to release him I'M
til he has paid the uttermost farthing of
the penalty imposed upon him."
