BosroN,s BUYERS, EXCURSION.
Enort TO Rival New York In Securing Trade
May End In O Failure.

BosroN, Aug. 1O.-It begins to look as
though the Boston Trade and transportation
Company, which was organized with a blow
ing Of trumpets and Of widely heralded an
n%ouncements of what mighty things it was
going to accomplish in the way of attracting
the buyers of the land TO Boston's marts. has
failed. The energetic operations Of the New
York Merchants Association scared the Boston
men, and they determined to start an organiza-
ton which should secure half rates to buyers.
When this was proposed to the managers Of the
railroads ~centring in Boston, the first demand
made was that the merchants should guarantee
500 tickets.
The Boston men hustled around. and by dint
OF e~xertion secured the needful guarantees. The
next thing that the railroads specified was that
the reduced excursion rates for tradesmen should
not be good for points more than 100 miles
from Boston. This surprised the merchants.
II that was all they were going to get. it made
the enterprise a limited local affair that looked
farcical when they saw how New York was
reaching her hands out into the West and South
and reaping n plentcous harvest.
To-day the Executive ommitt OF the asso-
citation sent a committee to confer with tho
various railroad homogeneous to settle the
question OF the 15o-milc limit. Until these
things are agreed to by the railroads, the ESeCu-
tive committee feels that nothing definite can be
done toward attracting out-of-town buyers and
competing with the New York merchants.

OMAHA, Ncb.. Aug. Holiday hvo members

five ladies left their home at Grctna to attend
the Spring Grove services OF the Methodists.
The meeting was in progress when they rushed
in and loudly cried to the minister in chorus:
you are lost with all your congregation. Re-
pcnt and come with US. All OF you are pos
sessed Of the devil"
Then the women began to dance around tho
place, shrieking at the top of their voices. Tho
service was, of course. broken up. and to-day
warrants were issued for tho arrest Of the
women.
They were tried by a Justice of the Peace in
Omaha. Then n wilder scene was enacted.
When asked II they were guilty they screamed In
chorus: Guilty In tho eyes of man, but inno-
cent in the eyes OF GOD !" then adding rs they
began to dance in a circle around the Justice.

The Court was unable to secure order, but as
they sang and danced around he fined each SIS.
All went to Jail singing, ITO jail, to Jail; glory

HOPE ISLAND LAID WASTE.
sgr. Aylsworth Could Find Neither His Cottage
Nor the Carethkers.

PROVIDENCE. II. T.. Aug. 1O.-Henry Ayls-
worth. one of the owners OF Hope Island, Nara
gansett Bay, returned from n visit to that place
to-day and told n strange story. A waterspout
or tornado seems to have struck the Island and
caused great destruction. Mr.. Aylsworth
employed a farmer and his wife on the island.
but there were no signs OF life about the place
outside OF the crickets and one lone rooster. A
four-room cottage. used as a part OF the lodge,
erected by the lRte Hiram Il. Aylsworth, had
been lifted from its foundations and blown over
the hillside. The timbers and contents lay about
the place In confusion. Tho foundation was not
even left, Mr.. Aylsworth says.
There was q great furrow across the Island
and right In tho path were some twenty-five
young willows. All those were tattened out so
that now they form "a low archway. The large
wharf. which cost ", 800 only a few years ago.
was cut In two. Gravel was cut out OF the
shore near the wharf and along the east hillside
and lifted in quantities upon the remnants OF
the pier. Mr.. Aylsworth says much OF the
property was blown into the bay and swept
away.
What became OF the farmer and his wife Mr..
Aylsworth does not know, but he hopes that
they were taken away In n boat and landed on
the mainland. Last winter the big barn on tho
island was burned. The only structure TO eG-
cape the elements Is a low, two-stOry gable
rooted house Of the Revolutionary period. 1t IL
built of oak and Is in a natural hollow.

has just been received from Mr.. W. J. Bryan

He is making a study of tho financial condi-
tions of the two countries. and will cndcavor to
show that the MeXicans are moro prosperous
under the operation Of free silver than the pco-
pie of the United states are with the gold stand
ard. He says the facts regarding Mexico were
not properly presented in the last campaign.
The special information he seeks is concern
ing the number OF Americans who have .estab.
lishcd themselves in Mexico within the past
two years, tho amount OF American capital
seeking investment, and the general extension
OF trade there os the result OF what he styles a
wise financial policy.

GLEN RIDGE, n. j., Aug. 1o.-A few days ago
an Indignation meeting Of commuters was held
here and it was decided to remove a rough
barbed wire fence recently put up opposite tho
Chestnut Hill station by Gerald Collingwood.
1t was charged that the fence included some
land that didn't belong to Collingwood as we'll
rs some that did. At 6 o'clock this evening
about fifty commuters, all New York business
men, moved on the fence with axes.
John W. Stewart was the first to swing an
axe, and as the cedar chips flew Mr.. Place, with
q pair of new nippers. cut the wire. The other
axemen were F. L. Purdy, D.. s. Standish. and
II. v. Alien. The choppers labored under the
protection OF Borough Marshal Jacobus and the
local police. The crowd cheered as each post
fell. Soon after the first post fell Edward Wilde,
counsel for Mr.. Collingwood, appeared and
ordered the destruction stopped. but the crowd
jeered and elbo wed the lawyer down the bank
TO the railroad track. Mr.. Wilde was followed
by Mrs. Wilde and Miss wilde. who tried to hin.

were OF no avail.
When the : o'clock train arrived Mr.. CollinE-

at a glance. made an effort TO stop the work.
The crowd hooted and jeered him. AS the last
post fell tho crowd. now numbering more than

Mr.. Wilde says the fence will be rebuilt and
the opposition threatens to destroy 1t again.
