ISLAND PoND, VI, APRIL 2.

The representations in reference to the
location of the custom house at Island
Pond IN the new Memphremagog Dis
trict have bSen received and duly con-
sidered by the Vermont delegation IN
Congress. some oi whom, and we don't
know but all. freely admit that the feel
ing OF the people of Island Pond is not
without apparently good ground, but
they think it is impossible to change the
matter now. The provision nov exists
in the sundry civil bill which it will be
remembered was agreed tn by the two
houses in the last session, but failed of
President Cleveland's signature. This
same bill has already passed the House
and gone to the Senate with the under
standing that it will not be changed but
will 20 through precisely as it did before.
The Speaker does not propose to appoint
House Committees at this session. So
ta1t If the Senate could he induced To
change the location of the Collector S
office as it now is in the bill ny Senate
amendment there would be no system un-
der the rules for dealing with those
amendments in the House. Some OF our
more ardent friends are advocating the
project OF sending some one to Washing
ton to induce III some way an amendment
to the bill as it now is, but when they
stop to candidly reflect they will see the
futlitv of any such effort, and the hope.
lessnesS OF inducing the House to either
organize or revolution,ze its whole or.
gauiza ton with reference to this feature
ofthe bill However unjust the provision
is, as there will be no custom houses
built at present, the only way is to pru'
IDENTIFY wait for an opportunity and then
go in for all we are worth. Unless some
unforeseen conditions shall arise it would
seem to be hardly possible that it can be
otherwise than that a custom house vii
eventually be established here.

Business recently called us to Cole
brook. N. H., and while there we awaited
ourselves of the privileges and accommn-
dations of the new Monadnock House,
Thos. G. Rowan, Proprietor. This new
house is one of the finest hotel structures
in this northern country. The old Mon
adnock House was built in 1870, and
was destroyed by fire March 7, 1895.
Very soon after the destruction of the
old hotel work was begun on new one,
and this was opened to the public March

every modern convenience, electric lights,
steam heat, 1.-THE Monadnock is the only

no expense has been spared either in the
construction of the new house or the
furnishings to render it worthy of the
large patronage accorded the old house
and which we were glad to learn is ex-
tended to the new house. A splendid
table is set, and the most tastidious could
find no fault either with quantity or quail
ity, or with the service. Mr.. Rowan EN-
barked i'll the hotel business April 1874,

Concerning Customs Business.

The statement was made in last weeks
Essex County Herald that St. Alhans
was the second port, in amount of bust
ness in the State, and that during the
month of January the value of goods
assessed at Island PonG, was five times
that of the goods assessed in st. Adams.
The fact is that st. Adams is one of
the most important frontier ports in the
United States and does the leading Gus
toms business in Vermont. The customs
officials at this port characterize the
statements of the Herald as very loose
and say that if investigated they will be
found to be untrue.
The foregoing is from the st. Adams
M nssenger which takes us to task for
having committed an error in making a
statement of the value of goods on which
duties were assessed at the port of St
Adams rs compared with those assessed
at Island Pond. The Messenger stated
that the duties assessed at St. Adams
during the month of January amounted
to $74, 3S5.07. The duties assessed at
the port of Island Pond during that time
amounted to Sf3l $500. The Mes
senger is right where the records are,
why don't it tell its readers what the
figures were at st. Adams? We feel sure
that our end is stated alright. How.
ever, we had no intention of making
any disagreeable comparison. We were
simply illustrating the situation of the
new district, but now that we have got
the figures from headquarters we have
no further occasion to allude to the bust.

Just for dreams sake would have her so,
just for dreams span, lying half reclined
Against the dusk, her plentcous hair intwin-

With milk white paris and lilies all aclow
Just for dreams sake only would know
The full perfection languidly outlined
Beneath the wresthing raimUnts that enwind
Der sumptuous beauty from all winds that
blow.
She's but the chiselrd image OF my dream,
The breathing marble from the model drawn
Upon my vision in the nights deep hush,
When beauty's self, clad in the moons thin

Went forth TO Gull the first rose Of the dawn

KEY WEST FLA, June GA strong
editorial in the Key West Herald had the
effect of bringing out 200 determined white
men last night who armed themselves
and took possession of the armorY, thus
subduing the negroes.
Sylyanus johnson, the negro who as
saulted Mrs. Atwell, had a preliminary
hearing this morning and Mrs. Atwell
identified him. Johnson says there were
three others with him, but he could not
give their names. The Sheriff's posse,
assisted by the local militia, have dis
persed all the crowds Three negroes have
been arrested.
rioting will be arrested and trouble may
follow, but the citizens are prepared for
it. The negroes held Jackson Square last
night and defied the whites. There were
about 500 OF them, well armed The
Sherifrs posse, in response to the news
papers call for aid, marched to the Jail
with the militia in front. The mob saw
them coming and yielded and soon the
square was in the possession of the
whites.
The deputies in the Jail feel greatly re-
lieYed at this turn of affairs, as many of
the negro leaders had debated plan OF
breaking into the armory and taking the
guns. After posting a strong guard In
side the armory and Jail, the militia and
most of the posse spent the night at the
City Hall. A mob soon gathered around
the Jail again. At late hour they began
firing on of the side streets, and the Sher-
if went out to disperse them. They re-
fused to give way, and he fred at the
leader, wounding him. Tue leader was
seen to fall, but was carried off quickly.
The negroes returned the fire, but their
aim was wild, and none of the whites
were harmed.
The negroes have had small bands out
all to-day in the neighborhood of the jail,
and in the suburbs several excited meet
ings have been held. Their leaders advo-
cate more fighting, declaring that they
can sweep the island.
The whites received word from Tampa
to-day that contingent from there would
come over on the next steamer. Late to-
night there are many rumors on the
streets, and the militia have been ordered
to keep under arms.
