Seward Webb and State Highways.

The scheme suggested by DR.. Seward
Webb of Shelburne of building three par
allel and broad highways the length Of the
state, with several lateral roads across the
mountains is received with considerable
favor by public-spirited people. DR.. Webb
would have the state furnish the means for
building these highways, which be believes
would materially enhance the value of real
estate in Vermont. The idea, however, is
not new one, having been advanced some
years ago by native of Windham county,
who explained its benefits to number of
interested Vermonters, and urged its adop-
ton. Such highways from Canada to Mas
sachusetts would be extremely attractive
and OF inestimable value But whether
the legislature could be Induced to further
the project by state aid is question for
that august body to determine Possibly
DIR. Webb's influence, combined with his
abundant means, might be instrumental in
securing the construction of at least one
highway Cd the most picturesque side OF
the Green mountains that would be credit
to the state, and which, once secured,
might be the means of awakening gen.
eral interest in the subject of better roads.
The state now appropriates good sum for
improving the present highways, but its
effect is hardly noticeable, owing to its
wide distribution, and the lack of system
attic methods on the part of many of those
having the work in charge. Vermont
spends her highway money without getting
permanent results, her highway commits
sioners in many cases being incompetent
for such work. What Vermont most needs
in this connection, a fact admitted py prac-
teal men, is a corps of methodical and
Experienced road-builders, under whose
supervision the highways could be con-
structed- Such a policy would more read
lily solve the abandoned farm question than
any other system, and make available the
waste lands.-Springfield Republican.

"A bunco Game of Which a Farmer Was
Nearly Victim.

Amespury, Mass, August 29.-The de-
'f'iis ol most sensational case Of bunco
were made public today in which one of
1ne principal actors is Mr.. Joseph W.
MASON, wealthy farmer, living on the
Whltehall road. A few days ago Mr..
MASON called at one Of the local banks
ana presented securities to the amount of
$4,000 and asked that he be paid the
cash for them.
Inc nank officials were suspicious and
refused the money. 1t is now learned that
nssu Mr. Mason succeeded in getting the
! cash ne would probably find himself just
Sio,ooo out at the present time, as the re-
suit OF one of the boldest confidence games
ever heard of in New England. On the
day IN question he was called upon by q
nnely dressed man who said he wanted to
puy farm. He had already looked at
several farms, but this particular one
suited him best, and an offer was made to
the two men wandered back into the
field, where a third man was met After
brief talk one Of the strangers showed
large roll of bills and suggested game

ground that he did not know how to play
cards. Then one of the strangers offered
| to play for Mr.. Mason, and after few
games Mr.. Mason was nominally the
winner of 200, but in short time he
had lost the 10000 and several thousand
more. The strangers demanded the money
they had won, but Mr.. Mason asserted he

pockets to prove the assertion. Foiled at
this point they. demanded his. notes, and
seeing that he was far from his house and
In the company of desperate men, he told
them to go to the house with him and he
would straighten matters out.
Arriving at the house, he gathered up
his securities, and came to this city for
the purpose of getting them converted in

Meantime the two strangers became sus-
picious and made themselves scarce. No
good description of them can be obtained
and although the police are in possession
of the facts, the matter has been kept very
quiet.

The Wound Looks Suspicious.

New York, August ga young man
describing himself as Timothy Walters,
a laborer Of LHaverstraw, n Y, applied
for surgical aid today at the Leonard
street police station here. He was suffer-
ing from pistol shot wound in the back,
which he said he had received in fight
at Haverstraw. AS the injured man de-
clined to give any particulars of the afray
the police are inclined to doubt the story
of the fight and suspect that Walters was
shot while attempting some unlawful act
up the Hudson. Walters is now patient
at the Hudson street hospital.

as Result.

Tampa. Fla, August 29-Marie, the IA
year-old daughter of Mrs. Frances Valdez
of Port Tampa city, went into the kitchen
to start fire this afternoon. She poured

daughters assistance. While she was at
tempting to extinguish the flames, her
own clothes caught fire and the two ran
screaming from the house. Both were
burned to a crisp.
The house caught from the flames and
was destroyed. A small boy was burned
in the house. His body has not been re-
covered. The fire spread rapidly. and five
houses owned by the Plant Investment

Discipline of Native Troops.
Bombay, August 29.-Little fresh news
has been received here from the frontier.
An attack has been made on Shimwari,
in the Samana range but the attacking
force was repulsed, losing five killed and
many wounded. There is considerable
excitement among the tribes along the
Bolan route to Quetta and the telegraph
wires have again. been cut. 1t is reported
that the tribesmen are gathering near
the Ziaret sanitarium, and much anxiety
is felt regarding the safety of the ladies
and children there is the railway officials
are asking for military protecting for
their property. If the route is considered
safe the ladies and children at the sani-
tarium will be brought away, but other
| wise troops will be sent from Quetta to
protect him.
| The column under Col. Gordon, which
| was despatched to the SANTANA district to-
day is composed entirely of native troops
, and is fully equipped with medical COM
missariat and transports services. 1t has
orders to force the Kohat pass If neces-
sary.
Rumors are currentHtending to throw
doubts upon the genuiness of the Ameer' s
reply to the viceroy of India regarding
| the completely of Afghan subjects in the
uprising.
The disarming.of the Khyber rifles,
which formed a part of the garrison at
Jamrud, was complete surprise, but
the orders were. obeyed without any
trouble.
Much individual firing into the camp
at JamIud has taken place, as many as
one hundred stray shots having been fired
at the outposts in a single night. Some
of these shots were fired at SO short a
range that three native officers who were
on watch were killed. 1t speaks well for
the discipline and obdience maintained
in the camp that not single shot was
fred in reply. The hot weather is ex-
tremely trying but the health and spirits
of the troops are good. Fears are ex-
pressed of the. fall OF. .Rustam, north west
of Mardan, the whole district being in the
hands of the enemy.
Gen. Woodhouse has gone from Mardan
to Russian where the force which now
amounts to two thousand men with two
guns. will be strengthened.
Confirmation has been received of the
rumors that the Afridis are quarrelling
among themselves over the division of the
booty taken from the captured forts.
Only about five hundred of them have
been left to guard the Khyber pass, the
others having dispersed to seek supplies of
provisions. This is probably the reason
for the cessation Of hostilities.
The general idea here is that If further
delay occurs in Furnishing the Afridis, for
which purpose at least &C, 1000 men are re-
quired, there will be a general uprising
on an enormous scale, extending from
Orakzailand to Zaimukht, beyond Kuram
and into Wariristan, despite the presence
of the British field force in the Tochi
valley, east of Rustam. Between Bunera
and the Idus the tribes appear to be disin-
clined to join the rebellion.

MINERS ARE STARVING.
Terrible Destitution Among the trikers
in Ohio.

Nasonville, Ohio, August 29.-The
destitution among miners here is very
great. Mayor Buckley says 1860 persons,
the entire mining population of the town
have absolutely nothing to eat and one
hundred Of these are sick. In this imme-
diate vicinity there are 1000 destitute
people, large number of whom are chilli
dren. Local charity has helped them til
its means are gone. Gardens supplied the
wants of these people until recently, but
that resource is now exhaused. Relief
committees have been appointed for the
entire district, but they are powerless on
account of the lack of supplies. A citi-
zen's special committee is exerting itself
to secure temporary relief.

was put off the steamers They say that
old timers realize the situation and that
the down river boats will be crowded
with men eager to get to some safe place

predicted by them as the result of tho
