NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Keene's Mayor Vetoes the Trolley Pro-
tect.

The aldermen of Keene voted Friday
night to give the Electric Street railroad
company of that city authority to put in
the overhead trolley system, with such re-
strictions as might seem fit. The aldermen
spoke in favor of the project, two of them
saying that nine-tenths of the people of
Keene wanted the road. The mayor We
toed this action. He said that he was in
favor of the electric railroad, but that he
feared that the effect of the currents
would be to cause leaks in the gas pipes,
resulting in the destruction of shade trees !;
that the danger to life from the overhead
wires was great; and that owners of two
thirds of the taxable property in Keene
had protested against the building of the
road. The mayor spoke in favor of trying
the storage and compressed air systems.

Aftsr the Convention.

The observations of your correspondent,
while at the Burlington convention, were
to the effect that the governorship contest
has left no bitterness on the part of Mr..
Stickney's supporters. They felt that they
had made good fight, though a losing
one, and while they were keenly disap-
pointed in the result, they at once became
loyal Grout men, firm in the belief that in
the near future Vermont would be glad to
bestow her highest honors on their favorite
without the asking AS regards the de-
feated candidate it can be said that, al
though failing to secure the substantial
fruits of victory, he stands in hardly less
proud position than as if the convention
result had been reversed. With follow
ing so largely drawn together by his grand
personality, and with opponents whose
ranks numbered so many of his best friends
he can surely feel that defeat does not come
to him without the largest of compensa'
tions.

TWO SENSATIONS.
They Cropped out in south Caro-
Iina's Capitol.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 10-Semewhat OF a
sensation has been created in political and
official circles by the report of the board
OF directors of the penitentiary. There are
two reports, one praising the management
of the institution, while the other brings
serious charges of mismanagement and
extravaganza against the superintend-
ent, Col. W. A Neal and insinuates that
in making contracts and in leasing con-
victs everything has not been as It should
have been. T. G. Willoughby, the dissent
ing member of the board. I'm the course
OF his report says: II am inclined to
think from personal observation and the
information attainable that the manage
mcnt is not of that kind which commends
itself to sound business principles The
want of economic ideas and the glarins
extravaganza is such as should call for
legislative investigation and remedy. The
system of bookkeeping and monthly state
ments in vogue in the institution is not
such as throws light upon the fiscal trans
actions OF the institution.
The majority of the board, on the other
hand. make splendid showing. for the
superintendent. The receipts from all
sources have been S147, csc. 60, and after pay
ing all expenses there is an estimated bal
ance of $l5,6S5, The majority express their
high regard for the superintendent as a
business man. This report is signed by r.
J. cunningham, j. w. Lyles and S. p. L.
Garris.
Another political sensation has been
sprung here by the organization in Column
bia Of white republican club, composed
of young men and others, who have been
lifelong democrats. The club has been
organized with about twenty members
and a mass meeting Will be held Tuesday
night, and il is claimed by the promoters
of the club that when 1t is held the people
will be astonished at the number of promi-
nent citizens who will unite with the
republicans. There has been a consider
able faction in this city who have never
affiliated with the democratic party in
the state since ii has been controlled BY
the Tnlmanites, and as the opposition fac
ton known as conservatives, is dead be
yond revival, 1t has been suspected that
q great many of them who are such I'M
compromising opponents of the reformers
would finally lana in the republican party.

\ MURDEROUs ASSAULT.
A. II. Levy Roughly Handled by Two
FoOtpnds ut Night.

Brunswick. Ga. Jan. IA H. Levy,
business manager of the Morning Call,
reports a desperate attempt made to
either XIII or rob him late last night, which
came near being successful. Mr.. Levy
had escorted a young lady from the
Knights of Pythias entertainment, and
was returning from the house, which is
located some distance out. While pass
ing a shaded spot he was set upon from
the rear, his head thrown back and an
attempt made to cut him. He is power
fully built, and struggled to free him
self when a heavy blow was struck him
fun on the jaw, which, with the pull
ing from behind, threw him heavily to the
ground, one of his assailants jumping on
his chest and pounding him in the face.
During the struggle which followed Mr..
Levy's coat was cut several times and his
skin grazed, but not gashed deeply. He
was unarmed, but drew for a supposed
pistol and called for help, when his as
saiant sprung up and ran. Mr.. Levy
came down town and notified Officer Levi
SON. who, with a number of citizens,
went to the scene and found much ev-
idence of a desperate struggle. The i'm
print left by the men VINO lay in wait
was plainly visible, and shoe marks on
the ground cause Assistant Chief Levi
son to conclude that the men were white
and not negroes, as was first supposed.

The Annie Garbutt Prevented From
sinking by Timely Efforts.

Dublin. Ca. Jan. ia disaster was mar
rowly averted yesterday by the heroic and
indefatigable efforts Of Capt. Robinson and
his gallant crew of negro sailors. Three
steamboats, named the Annie Garbutt
Louisa and Henry. ply the Oconee river
from this point, TO a place down the river
called the Hickory Tree. The boats are
operated by a company of wealthy gentle
men, and carry freight. and sometimes
passengers. Yesterday morning the steam
er Annie Garbutt. commanded by Capt
Robinson. left her wharf heavily laden
with an assortment of freight, and also
four passengers-three young ladies and
one gentleman. The river was not high
as on ordinary occasions, and Capt. Rob
insOn was rnnning very slowly apprehen-
sVe Of grounding. When directly opposite
Smiths landing. the captain blowed two
whistles. a signal for the dock, and TO make
ready 10 throw the ropes. Suddenly vi
bration was felt, a seriOns rocking, throw
ing the freight about the deck in a pro-
miscuous manner The forepart of the boat
had come in contact with a projecting
limb lying under the water. The limb had
cut a large hole. through which the water
was rushing into the boat. Capt. Robin
son, observing that something must be
done to save the boat from sinking, took
off his outer garments. and in his under
clothes jumped into the river. and swan
to the broken SPOT in the boat. The crew
followed his example. Clothes and blank
cts were chinked in the opening. They
succeeded in stopping the inflow OF water
and finally goo the boat to the dock. The
boat proceeded. later on, down the river to
her destination. The passengers commend
Cant. Robinson for his great presence OF
mind, and intrepidness in saving the boat

AUGUSTUS COTTON PLuNGER.

A Suspicion That. Bones Is En- Route
to south America.
Augusta, Ga, Jan. 10.-The sensation of
to-day was the cotton failure of John p.
Bones. He has been out of town since
Dec. 2S, and his whereabouts are I'M
known. He left on the same day that
two young gentlemen of this city left
for South America, and by many it is
supposed he has gone there. An expert
accountant is going over the books to
hnd out what is the amount of liabili-
ties which have been Appropriated at
$4,000. The money was lost in cotton fu-
lures speculation. The heaviest losers are
Fleming Thomas & Co., bankers who had
advanced something like $4,000 on cotton
warehouse receipts, a number of which
are reported to be fictitious with no cot
ton back of them. J. j. Collins & Son
of New York lose 5000 on cotton pur-
chased on Bones order for speculation.
There is about s. 900 worth of cotton in the
warehouse as assets and just at present
il is impossible to get positive figures of
the losses.
The affair is a shock to the whole COM
munity, as he was one of the best known
and one of the most popular young fell
lows in the city. His family know moth
ing of his whereabouts, but they and his
friends hope for his early return to the
city with a satisfactory explanation of
his absence.
