THE FLOOR GAVE WAY.
But the Band Played on" and
BalIoting Was Resumed.

SPRINGVALE, Me-, March 3J-A panic,
occasioned by the giving way of the floor.
interrupted lively town meeting in the
Sanford town house. The town hall is a
two-story structure located in the village of
Springvale, and the meeting was held in the
lower hall. An hour had been spent in dis
cussing the electric railway question, and
the meeting had just begun to ballot, when
an area OF floor about 20 foot square gave
way Between GO and IS men went down
through the opening, most of them landing
on their feet in the soft earth about five feet
below. Others. in their attempt to get away,
were precipitated on the heads of the strug-
Cling mass of men. THE walls are coming
down." somebody shouted causing
wild stampede. A stream of humanity
poured out of the main door, while scores
who found that means of exit too slow for
them made a rush for the windows and jump
ed out. Some did not stop to raise the win
dows, but crashed through sash and glass.
The accident was due to the breaking of a
heavy stringer The timber extended length
wise of the floor and was considerably
longer than the others. 1t had been splced,
and the post, instead of being directly be-
meath the splicing, was five or six inches
near the end of the timber. After partial
order had been restored Nahum p. Allen
who was opposed to the town subscribing
money for electric railroad stock, took ad-
vantage of the situation to move an adjourn
ment for one year, but his motion did not
prevail. The leaders of the movement
rallied, and raised the argument that as the
meeting was in the process of ballOting
when the panic interrupted proceedings, the
motion to adjourn was not in order. After
further argument the moderator ordered
the balloting to be resumed, the hall being
partially cleared and the voters passing in
and out few at time. The town voted to
subscribe for the road, 421 to 1877.

Governor Sam Adams of Massachusetts, and
from another who settled in Medfield, from
which Medway was afterwards set off, is de-
scended the subject OF this sketch.
Laban Adams, the father of "Oliver OPP
tic was early in life a farmer, and later
hotel keeper, and during the war of 1872.
when the embargo had closed the ports of
Boston. carried loads of valuable freight be-
tween Boston. Phila lelphia aud Baltimore.
The son was carefully educated and ran the
gamut of hotel and farm life, from the hum
blest to the highest positions. He began
teaching when young. and was master and
principal in several schools, ranking very
high. In the annual reports his schools
were said to be among the best If not the
very best in town. He diligently cultivated
his talent for writing, and became noted for
the interest taken by pupils and parents in
the numerous exhibitions. For one Of these
he wrote all the songs, speeches and dia-
logues, and the crowd was so great that the
school committee was forced to climb over
the heads of the guests to the platform.
He taught until 1865, when, his writings
bringing him in sufficient income. he resign
ed to enrich his mind by foreign travel and to
collect material for the books on which he
was busily engaged. He represented the town
of Dorchester in the legislature and when
this town became part of Boston, he was
elected on the Boston school board, serving
ten years or until he would serve no longer.
His wife and two daughters died many years
ago One daughter survives, who is the
wife of Sol Smith Russell. the eminent actor.
Mr. Adams had made seven trips to Eu-
rope, besides his trip around the world.
He made almost innumerable shorter vOy-
ages to Cuba, the West Indies and the
Southern seas. His abilities as a linguist
were sufficient to pave his way in almost
any land and with almost any tongue.
Mr.. Adams was long a member of Union
lodge. +. and A. NJ. and was past master
When the lodge celebrated its Tooth birth
dav, Mr.. Adams was "class poet" His
method of work was simplicity itself-when
there was work to do he did it. He did not
believe in the nonsense affected by fledgling
authors of waiting for moods" and in
spirations. but when he had task-as he
generally did have-he simply plunged into
it, and inspiration was sure to come.

The jackrabbit, long regarded
by the farmers of the great San
Joaquin valley in California as
pest. may yet be esteemed for
his fur. The matters of the East
are discovering that this particular
kind of fur is excellently adapted to
the manufacture of felt of the best
quality, and in the near future we may
see big shipments of the skins to the
hat-making centres unless in the mean
time we have the sagacity to utilize
the product at our doors and engage
i'll the manufacture of felt on our own
account.

Some facts of nn instructive nature
relating to the stone industry are fur
nished by Mr.. Day in the annual re-
port of the United States geological
survey. 1t appears from this that GER
tain of the Southern states are grad
ually coming into prominence as ex-
tensive producers of stone, and also
that the sorts of stone quarried have
been modified of late years. An in
stance in point is to be found in Ala
bama, which in 1896 furnished more
than $3.50, 900 worth of stone, mostly
limestone, although some sandstone is
worked there. A similar illustration
is presented by Connecticut, which
once divided the sandstone yield
with New Jersey, but produced last
year very little more sandstone than
Massachusetts, while New Jersey
showed only one-third as much as
Connecticut ard little more than Kan
sas or Michigan; and Pennsylvania,
unknown q few years ago as supplying
sandstone, recorded q product in 1895
about equal to Connecticut and New
Jersey combined and more than any
other state except Ohio. In granite
production Massachusetts, keeps the
first place, with Maine not far of,
while Vermont is rapidly overtaking
Maine, and Rhode Island keeps up the
output from its splendid quarries in
and about Westerly to nearly Sl'OOO,-
900 worth year. New Hampshire
comes fifth on the list, with about
half as much. In marble Vermont, as
usual, leads all the other states, its
output being about double that OF
Georgia. which is second in amount;
Tennessee is third.

A PRICELESS DOCUMENT.
journal of the Mayfiower to Come
Back to Massachusetts,.

BOSTON, Mass. March 30-When Senator
Hoar was last in the British Isles he saw the
original journal of the Mayfiower, the most
precious document in the world with per-
haps one exception. Finding that it might
be brought back. he proceeded to have petit
tions sent from the American Historical So
ciety and other learned bodies, asking that
it be done. President Cleveland, Secretary
Olney and Ambassador Bayard all took an
active interest. The manuscript will be deliv-
cred to Ambassador Bayard, to be de-
livered to the President of the United States
and by him delivered to Massachusetts. 1t
will be put in charge of the secretary of the
commonwealth or deposited i'll the Massa-
chusetts state library when it gets to Boston.
The value of the journal may be better in
ferred from Senator Hoar's estimate: 1T is
the most precious do ocument known to man,
unless we except the Declaration of Inde-
pendence."

made by Democrats and Republicans alike,

was relieved from paying rs per cent. of the
entire taxation of the state, it would ask to
be separated from this state and made an
