Accldently Shot.

William Crowell of Barna I'd wa
trying to get bullet out of his rifle
last Sunday, and succeeded too well,
the ball going through his upper lip
and tearing out the right side of his
jaw. In order to draw the bullet,
having got out all the powder, as he
thought, he stuck the breech in the
fire, heated it and then took up the
gun and blew in the muzzle. As he
removed the muzzle from his mouth
the gun exploded with the result
stated. A piece of the partly melted
ball is thought to be lodged nea, his
right ear. He is getting along
comfortably, though the wound is a
bad one.

Cut Down q Whole Orchard.

Some unknown parties entered an
orchard of small trees belonging to
William CULVER about three miles
from Bennington Monday night and
cut down every tree, over hundr ed
in number. The trees were set out
only about two years ago. They
were apparently first bent over and
then cut. CULVER is veteran and
bought small farm with his pen
sion money three years ago. He
put a flag pole IN front of his house
soon after moving there and some
one cut the halliards not long after.
He has no idea who cut the trees.

FOR PRIMARY ELECTIONS

 Last Night.
WATER COMPANY ,CENSURED
Committee Appointed 10 Represent the League at the Investigation New Mem
 bers Elected-Short Talks Made

An important meeting of the Union Label League was held last night in Clerks hall, corner of Nineteenth street and Third ave- nue.
 The report of the executive committee indorsing the primary election plan in nom- mating candidates was adopted.
 The resolution passed by the Trades Council indorsing the stand taken by AL derman Drennen, T. H. Motion and the
 press against the unjust rates of the Bir- mingham Water Works company, was read
 and indorsed, and a committee of five ap-
 pointed to represent the league at 8 meet ing of the Investigating committee of the
 city council.
 In the absence of President Russell, the meeting was presided over by James Leath of the Typographical union. Secretary Turner was at the desk.
 Twenty eight applications for membership were received, and on motion were elected as members. The membership of the league is fast approaching the 1000 mark and it is the purpose of the officers to enlist every
 laboring man in the district. The committee on designs for an emblem
 submitted drawing, and asked for fur
 ther time in order that other ideas might
 be embodied, which was granted: The committee to ascertain what union goods were sold in the city also asked for
 further time, which was granted. The executive committee, through A. Me- Kinney, reported that the committee had held two meetings at which the affairs of the league were discussed. The report rec commended that the league endorse the pri-
 mary plan of selecting candidates for office, and reported that it had received much en- couragement in regard to organizing union
 label leagues at Bessemer and Pratt City. The report was received and the recom- mendations referred to the proper order of business.
 Under the head of new business the reso- luton adopted by the Trades Council at it's meeting on Sunday condemning the water
 works company was read and adopted. The recommendation of the executive committen was then taken up in regard to primary elections and after some discussion
 was adopted and the following committee appointed to represent the league at the
 meeting of the water committee of the city council: Ed. King, O. H. Groner, l. A. Burton c. l.. Pease and E. E. Trlsell. On motion a monthly compensation was voted to the secretary for his services. The cigarmal0ers reported an increase in their business since the organization of the league and attribute it to the work of the league.
 A number of short talks were made by
 members and visitors which were greatly
 enjoyed. The meeting then adjourned.

SALlSBURY'S RESPONSE.
Great Britain Declines to Enter Proposed Agree
 ment in Regard to Seal Question.

London, Dec. N.-Lord Salisbury, the premier, has written to United States Am bassador Hay in response to America's latest proposals in the Boring sea contro- versy, her request that Great Britain would enter into an agreement with the United States, Russia and Japan to stop sealing. Great Britain declines to enter into such an agreement.
 Lord Salisbury says in substance that he has communicated with the Canadian gov ernment which has the foremost interest in the scaling question and that Canada is unwilling to become a party to such an arrangement as is proposed by the United States. Therefore England, continues Lord Salisbury whose interest is but slight would not be justified in acceding to the proposals. Lord Salisbury's answer emphasizes the policy of England not to interfere in Canadas foreign relation.

that can be done is to rebuild immediately the armory, boat house, power house and basin for boats. This work is deemed to be immediately required, in order that the boys shall not suffer in the technical part of their education. It is the design to make the new buildings part of a general scheme for the reconstruction of the acad- emic buildings, but, while this is the case and they will not be bits of patchwork, still they may be regarded as complete in themselves, without reference to what may be done hereafter in the way of building.
