MANSFIELD.
(Correspondence.)

A small vote was boiled at town meet ing, the republicans polling two votes tc one democratic. But fifteen prohibition votes were cast, and not a woman voter put in an appearance. The town report shows the town to be $18,O0O in debt. A fifteen mills tax on the dollar was voted to defray current expenses the coming year, and no provision made for reducing the towns indebtedness. It was voted to have the highways repaired for the next three years by contract.
 Town meeting being over, the next in order is state election and town repre- sentatives, of which there are large number of candidates anxious to winter at the capitol at the expense of the state. The vote for president will b. largely re- publican in this town, the democrats be- ing much divided on the gold and silver question.

 The people of Palmer and vicinity are very much excited over the two attempte of highway robbery last week, one of the victims being seriously if not fatally shot. Andrew Pinney, agent of the Palmer car pet cOmpany's mills, last Friday after noon, about 3 o'clock, was driving to the mill. When within a quarter of a mile Of the mill masked man sprang out of the woods and seized MT. Pinney's horse by the bridle and asked for his money. Mir. Pinney usually carried the money Friday afternoon to pay the help, but that day, contrary to usual custom, the help had been paid in the morning. Mir. Pinney struck the man a blow with his whip and started his horse. The man at once fired two shots al Pinncy, both talk Ing effect. The first struck his right fore finger and entered the right breast. The second shot struck the left leg just above the knee. Mir. Pinney's horse ran to the mill, and he was taken home. A larno party started for the woods and made a search, but were unable to find the rob Der. On Saturday evening, little after six o'clock, D. w. Foskett, proprietor of Foskett's mills, was driving to his home. At point scarcely more than a mile from the other attempt man approached MT. FOskett and fired at him; the ball just missing his head, passing through the top of the buggy. The robher had attempted to cut Mir. Foskett's roins, as one of them was found to be cut nearly two-thirds through. Mr. Foskett fired two shots in the direction of his assailant, but probably without effect The Palmer selectman have offered $500 reward for information that will lead to the detection of the assailant Wednesday evening, Patrick w. Lynch, of Palmer, was ar rested on complaint charging hiu with having committed the assault Cn Mir. Pinney, and was held in the sum of $15, ,O00 for hearing set for Octob,l 2Oth. The officers feel that they have arrested the guilty party. Lynch has had a bad record. Mir. Pinncy lies in a critic Il COL ittion, with fair chances of recovery. If he bullets trouble him the X rays will be ISed to locate them.

following in his paper doesn't sound
much like it:
In Washington, D. O., there are at
least Is mansions owned by Lew P.
Morton, Brice, Whitney, John Sher-
man, j. Piermont Morgan, Wanamak-
or, Proctor, Whitelsw Reid, Elkins
and other milllonaires that are un-
occupied half of the time. These pal
aces cost from $125,OOO to $25O,OOO
each and are furnished in oriental
splendor. Their owners Vibrate back
and forth between the national capi-
tai and Europe. 1t is in places like
this that the money Of farmers has
gone, through shrinkage Of values,
year by year since 1873.
All of the owners Of these pslstisl
residences own other mansions in
New York and along the coast and
not few of them own cottages"
each costing a half a million dollars,
in England, Switzerland, France and
Scotland.
There are seventy-6ve thousand
millionaires in New York and New
England who 10 not actually reside
in America but put in their time
sporting in Europe. They do not
come home half OF the time to vote.
They are to Che United States what
the wealthy English aristocracy is to
Ireland--theY feast in ldleness and
regal splendor upon the labor of
those who pillow, churn, dig coal and
iron, fell forests for lumber, work IN
shops and country stores. And every
last one Of them is for the gold
standard.
