CHICAGO. Aug. l9-The inclination

look for a rally today, and prices re-
sponsive to fair buying displayed a
better tone. and advanced a little dur

the purchasing orders which appeared
at the opening were for foreign ac-
count, and New York reported that
there were some Of the same kind in
that market. This, indicating as it did,
a disposition on the part of Europeans
TO take hold, inspired the home trade
with greater confidence.

The Postofiice Robber Arrested.

The burglar whose robbery OF
the Junction postoffice was noticed
last week, hardly had time to reach
New York before he was under arrest.
The burglary occurred Tuesday night
or early Wednesday morning. Post
master Fitzpatrick Immediately mott
fed the inspector at Boston, whose
district includes the junction. While
the case was under advisement, James
f. Atwood, who IS known to the New
York detectives as a postotfice thief,
was walking on the Bowery, little sus.
pecting that the hand of justice would
before sunset seize HIM in an iron
grasp. Two detectives Of the Central
office happened to see Atwood and
thought they would run him in on
general principles as suspicious char
acter. When Atwood was searched q
number OF Canadian coins were found
upon him and also one OF the bags in
which postage stamps are kept at the
Office. The most convincing evidence
the prisoner had in his possession was
q memorandum blank bearing the
name of Postmaster Fitzpatrick OF the
Junction. Postoffice Inspector Jacobs
secured warrant from the United
States court where Atwood was ar
raigned. The prisoner served tern
OF two years and six months in thu
Albany penitentiary for robbery O
postofices in Syracuse and White
stone in 1892.

A Terrible Accident to Young Man
With a Cannon.

A shocking accident occurred at st.
Adams Friday morning. While Geo.
d. Sampson was trying to clean out a
small cannon it was discharged and a
piece of half-inch iron about foot
long, heated red hot, was driven near
ly through SIMPSONS body. Samp.
son was preparing for the Fourth and
had cotton out the cannon to get it in
shape; it had been left loaded and he
tried to discharge it several times, but
the powder flushed every time and
Sampson decided that he would burn
the wadding out; to do this he got the
iron described and heating it to a
white heat ,rammed it into the barrel OF
the cannon, which was discharged al
most Immediately, driving the iron bar
through his clothing and leather
pocketbook, into his body and frac-
turing two ribs and going entirely
through his right lung, stopping with
the sharpened point against the skin
under the shoulder blade. Sampson
shouted to his mother, who tried to
pull the iron out, but at first failed ow.
| ing to its great heat; she then wrap.
ped her dress skirt around the end and
succeeded in pulling the seething iron
out. The floor is burned where the iron
was thrown after it was pulled from
Simpsons body. DR.. Sherwood was
called and stopped the severe hem
orrhage which followed the remova
Of the iron and made the patient az
comfortable as possible. Sampson
hand was badly lacerated and burned
as the iron passed through it. He il
about q years old and is the only sol
of Mrs. James A. Chamberlin.

program was well carried out. The
essays were all helpful and instructive
and were followed by vigorous dis
cussions.
There were about Is clergymen
present, those south OF Rutland not
being able to attend on account OF the

Mrs. Victoria Flanders, alias Ethel
Farnsworth, was arrested in East l'ar-
net Monday of last week by a Boston
officer, accused Of being the associate

panel thrf. II i alleged that She en-
t,.ed John Dolan to her room, where

her former home in this state. After
her arrest she pulled from her stock
ing roll Of bills wrapped in hand
kerchief and threw them into the Pa
sumpsic river. A boy was hired to
swim after the package, but when it
was recovered the bundle had come
apart and only Sl5 remained in the
handkerchief. These were kept as ev-
idence by the police.
The Howe Scale works in Rutland
in which are employed about 400
men, will close down for two weeks or
more after the Fourth. The reason
for this action on the part of the COM
pany is dull times. With the single
exception Of the shirt factory, outside
the scale works, the foundries and
other factories in the city are doing a
good business and running Oh full
time. This is especially true of the
Rutland railroad shops, where large
number of workmen and mechanics,
who have been hitherto idle, were put
to work. The Lincoln Iron works
have taken the contract to get out the
castings for the railroad company in
the future and this arrangement has
given a number Of moulders, who had
nothing to do, employment. 1t is ex.
pected that the large surplus of labor

The st. Adams Burglary.

There is great deal Of excitement
in st. Adams over the burglar scare Of
the past week, and no one feels safe
since Perkins Il Co.'S j,welry store,
located On the principal street Of the
village. was robbed 80 early in The
evening july lst. The police and the
public generally are satisfied that the
rJbberies are the work Of q band OF
experts in their line. MI. Perkins es-
Inmates his loss at about 500. The
value Of goods taken is much greater
than at firstthought and now includes
$24O worth OF gold pens, $75 worth Of
fountain pens, $50 worth OF diamond
ring mountings. besides six knights
Templar charms, several gold fob
chains, gold lockets and gold thimbles.
Nothing but solid gold goods were
taken, the plated stuff being thrown
aside on the floor.
The attempted robbery Of III, depot
ticket office was also a Dold piece OF
work and occurred at about the same
time Of the Perkins robbery. The
thief or thieves in this instance got in
to the ticket Office from the skylight
OH the roof. How they gained the
roof no one knows, but they probably
went upstairs through the depot res
taurant. The skylight was opened
very easily and held raised with a
piece of wire; then piece Of wire rope
was fastened about nearby chimney
and the thief slid down this into the
ticket office below, but nothing was
found disturbed here. 1t is supposed
that the thief thought the money was
left in the money drawer until the
midnight train, but in this he was
mistaken. Whoever got into the Of
flee through the skylight got out with
out discovery, and the office was found
in the condition described when VIM.

to sell tickets for the Boston express.

of the cases and are hard at work try

ty was found removed from two lights

job.

self on the recovery Of IA gold pens
which were dropped in the alley way
when the thief was making his hurried

said to be very intimate.
Monday, June 20, Nokes was lodged
in Jail at Montpelier charged with the
crime. Miss Jones gave birth re-
Gently to healthy male child that dis
appeared soon after it was born. TO
the inquiries of the neighbors as to

keep away. Nokes is desperate char
acter, As years old, and man much
feared by his neighbors.
Complaint was entered against
Nokes, and the case was placed in the
hands of States Attorney Stanton.
The body of the child was found

the bottom of bay in the barn that
was soon to be filled with hay. The
skull was crushed as if it had been
struck with hammer or some blunt
instrument.
Mrs. Nokes and the Jones girl are

Jones will be committed to Jail with.

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not tho Intelligence to FxindIe a
Fire with Thcm.

But Has Not tho Intelligence to FSindIe
Fire with Thorn.
No creature but man has ever made
use of fire. An African traveller, indeed.
has told story of apes making a thiev-
ing raid on camp of natives, and car
rying torches to light their way; but
this story lacks proof, and is not ac-
cepted as true by biologists.
There is, however, says the Youths
Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi-
cal garden a monkey who has learned to
scratch matches perfectly well. This
accomplishments he is willing to exhibit
on any occasion. He has learned to hold
the match oy its middle part, so THAI
his fingers are not burned by being too
near the flame, and so that the match
viii not break by being held too near the
other end.
This fact involves another, that he is
aware which end has the sulphur, and
does not attempt t. scratch the HnsuI-
phured eEd. He has furthermore
learned that a rough surface is better to
scratch the match on than smooth one.
md his care in looking for the rough
places is very divePting..
But with all these inteliigences, the
monkey has no notion of llindling an
other fire with the one that he has
caused by the friction of the match. He
simply lets the match burn out, and if
he lights another, does it for the pleas
ure of seeing it burn.
This monkeys keepers, and the men
of science who are experimenting with
his intelligence, hope to- communicate
TO him eventually an idea of fire making
and using; but from the moment the51
succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue
ceed-it will be necessary to kec2
matches out of his reach.
