The Pierce Steam VII.

The steam mill erected by Deacon f. L.
Pierce of Putney in this place during the
last summer and fall is now well under
way. 1t is not a movable or temporary
structure, but one of a more permanent
character, intended to remain for several
years in the location where it is now placed.
All the timber suitable for chair stock in
the vicinity which can be bought will
doubtless be worked up in the mill before
it is removed. 1t is located about quar-
ter of a mile up the stream, which crosses
the highway near C.. c. Goodelps resi-
dence, in the large wood lot bought from
the Hall estate. A road has been con-
structed which leads up the stream, past
Mrs. Goodell's sugar house and the mill
buildings and houses, and comes into the
highway on the Athens road opposite
where the old Warner house stood
The lower buildings are barns and sheds,
then the boarding house where most of the
employees have their meals and lodge
next above is the mill, and then the dwell
ing house occupied by the Jacobs family.
The mill has its engine, saws, lathes, and
drying rooms, where the logs, as they come
from the woods, are worked up into ma
terial for chairs, dried, and drawn away
for shipment at Putney to the chair max
ers in Massachusetts, The boiler first
put in was found to be too small to carry
all the works properly, and it was re-
placed, not long ago, by larger one that
had been used in the East Putney MILL
About 1000 pieces are turned out each day.
The list of employees is as follows: F. d.
Wiley from Newport, n. H., is foreman,
and he has charge of the large circular
saw which cuts up the logs; o. E. Harvey
of East Putney takes away the pieces
from the saw; II. l.. Carr of Townshend
runs the first bench saw, w. G. Harvey
of East Putney, the second bench saw; G.
G. Gorham of this place takes away the
pieces from the bench saws; Daniel Mack
of Brookline, Herbert Stebbins of Brattle-
boro and P, II. Carr of Townshend, run
the lathes; f. W. Mack of Chesterfield is
the engineer; F. A. Buxton, East Putney,
has the care of the dry house; Dan Jacobs
and Henry jeffrey are the choppers; Will
Cronk, who came to Putney from North
ern New York, is the teamster; Albert
Howard of Marlboro is the spare man;
Mrs. Cronk and Mrs. Howard are the
keepers of the boarding house. Mr.. Wiley
is about TO bring his family here and is to

We notice that the gun boat Machias has

thing additional is obtained by carrying
occasional passengers, baggage or parcels,

1t is startling to read that, according to
the Times of India, the population of Bonn
bay has been reduced one-half since the
outbreak of the bubonic plague As the
city's population in 1891 was S21, 764, over
100000 persons must have died from the
disease. This plague is of Asiatlc origin,
in this instance having started at Hong
Kong and moved west ward and southwark.
Its ravages in French Tonquin have been
severe, and it may reach the Straits settle
ments, and finally some Mediterranean
port, unless great energy is shown to
check the epidemic. The modern school
of psychologists are happily studying the
disease to discover its germ, and through
their efforts it is expected that medical
science will be able to grapple with it in
case it should appear in Europe. In the
middle ages such a plague might easily
have swept unOpposed over all Europe,
and the people would have looked upon it
as the work of an angry God. But the
germ theory gives different views of plaques
and the Almighty.

4 Canton despatch says: zone fact is
developed in connection with the throng
Of visitors from all parts Of the United
States at Canton, and it is that Major Me
kinley daily astonishes his callers by the
breadth, variety, freshness, minuteness
and accuracy Of his information concerning
parties, factions, politicians, business and
political conditions throughout the coun-
try. He has a memory as remarkable as
Mr.. Blaine's for men, and an even more
serviceable one for facts and current infor-
nation of interest.
1t is said in a Washington despatch that
Mr.. Cleveland during the past few weeks
has transmitted to Major Mckinley a copy
of every state paper and official document
concerning the business of the present adj
ministration which may be of value to the
next administration. These include copies
of the treaties with foreign countries which
may not be concluded until after McKin-
ley's accession; correspondence in regard
to Cuban affairs, etc. This is an unusual
courtesy on the part of a retiring president,
and it is suggested that Mr.. Cleveland's
course may be due TO the unusual compl-
cations now existing in regard to the diplo-
matte relations of the government.

The inquest in the murder case Of Mrs Hattie
Z. NcCloud was opened in the district court
room at Shelburne Falls. Mass. Tues day. before
Judge Edwin Lyman and Clerk William Allen
District Attorney Hammond Of Northampton had
IS witnesses on hand. Many Of them were girls
and women.
The opening Of the inquest caused much excite
ment and a crowd gathered outside the building
eager TO catch some word about the proceedings
which were private. Judge Lyman had informed
O'Neils attorneys, Duwlln and Beer of North
Adams that the inquest would be private. so
neither came.
District Attorney Hammond had a summons is
sued Wednesday for ten members of the O'Neil
family TO appear. Mrs O'Neil. the mother was
at once called TO the stand. She has been posi-
tive heretofore that her son. Jack. the accused,
left the house at t:l0 O'Clock, after eating supper
Friday night, but that does not agree with the
story OF her daughter Rose, a bright girl The
latter swears that she arrived home after her
day 5 work at 6:lO O'Clock. and that Jack was
then reading paper, that he ate his s pper and
left the house at about $50 and that five minutes
of seven she met him on the Shelburne side of the
river.
Then Tommy swears that he met his brother
Jack on the bridge at ~. This makes it clear
what Jacks story will be- He will claim that he
did not leave home until ESQ and will account
for his time until 25 minutes later when seen by
his sister Rose and brother Tommy.
