FROM PORTO RICO.
George M. Brown again writes
to his Friends.
lie is well and soon will return to the
United States Had just heard OF the
Armistice short time before writing.


Dear Sir: We are quietly resting in
camp on account of the armistice which
was recently declared and some of the
boys are already figuring on getting
nome within the course OF about two
months as they think the armistice will
lead to declaration of peace. When
the news reached us that hostilities
were to cease for the present we were
Just forming for an attack on the Span
ish strongholds in the mountains. We
had slept with our guns in our hands on
account of the report that we were
to be attacked by 5000 Spaniards and
at daybreak on the morning of August
18th we were astir preparing for a fight.
At noon we were in reach of them and
while the artillery was being hurried
forward to open the engagement we
snatched hard tack from our haversack
and prepared to have hasty lunch.
During the pause, just then a messenger
dashed up with the news of the armis-
tice and perhaps averted bloody battle
that would doubtless have been raging
within the next ten minutes.
we have only had little scout work
TO do since landing and some of the
boys express regret that the news was
not little later reaching us as it was a
disappointment to some after getting SO
near to the enemy they had spent weeks
and months preparing for active service
and come 5000 miles to get chance.
But told some Of them it was doubtless
we'll it turned out as it did
We have only had one mail since
landing but we are expecting another in
y day or two and am of course expect
ing letter from home
When 1t comes we can send our letters
home without being stamped by getting
theanayor to endorse them but the two
cents has To be collected where it is de-
livered.
! have felt fine since landing here and
the climate ia fine II peace is declared
right away as II now seems likely we
will be sent to the United States before
long. 1t will OF course require some
time to get the army mustered out but
the prospects are now that we will get
home some time this fall. Very truly,
GEo, NJ. BRowN.

New Fast Freight from Pittsburg.

A fast freight has been put on the
f., NJ. d. z. from Pittsburg and it
will run through to Grafton. 1t will
reach Morgantown at five in the
morning and the freight will be
ready for delivery at seven. All the
towns along the line will get the adj
vantage of this arrangement which
will certainly Ibe appreciated by
them.
Locally the advantages will be
very great A merchant can order
stuff by mail from Pittsburg in the
morning and he will get it the next
morning at seven o'clock. The in
tention is to beat the freight which
comes from Pittsburg and also to
out do the boats. The train leaves
Pittsburg at p. m.

GOING BETTER.
The Street Paving is coming on
better than it has for
Sometime.

Foundry Street is Finished and Main
Street is now under Way-The Paw
in will be up to Peasants street by
the last of the coming Week-M0re
men can be employed and what are
on the job can work to better adyan-
tage- Curbing and brick coming in as
fast as il can be used and there is no
trouble anywhere.
The street paving is coming on
with a more commendable show of
progress than it has had for some
time. The brick is all down on
Foundry street from Front to High
and the attention Of the contrac-
tors is now turned to High
This street is blocked from the
lower end of the part to be paved
opposite Foundry to where it joins
Peasants street. A large pillow
drawn by four horses has torn up
the road way and a road machine
rented of Col. T. j. Gilmore is being
employed on ito get the dirt away
More men are to work and the paw
ers are getting out Of their cramped
quarters and the indications are that
the work will go on faster after they
once get fair start on the paving
on Main street. A number of peo-
pie think by the last Of the coming
week the pavement will have reach
ed Pleasant street crossing.
The pavement that has been laid
on Foundry street is attracting lots
of people who examine it with great
interest as it is the first work which
has been done by the contractors in
town. 1t seems to be all right to
the casual observer and the engineer
expresses himself to the council
as being perfectly satisfied with it.
The brick is coming in as fast as
the men who are hauling can get it
from the station and there need be
no further complaint on this score.
The piles have reached above Bum
DO Lane and the town is being more
and more blocked from this cause
every day. Carraco is pushing
things and the only cause for delay
is occasionally the cars are not
placed in position so that they can
be unloaded to the best advantage.
But the brick company is shooting
the material in as fast as it can be
used.
A large amount of Cleveland curb
ing is being received and placed in
position on Main street although the
quarrymen here are getting out the
material as fast as it can be used.
The Cleveland stone Is being used
and was ordered because the con-
tractor said that unless it was OBJ
tanned he would be hindered in get
ting the work done with expedition.
Taking it all in all the outlook for
the paving is more favorable than
1t has been for some time and the
only kick IS one that is made by
some of the residents of Foundry
street over the fact no curbing is
being used on that street. The en-
gineers who have been here however
say that except on business streets
where there is to be lots of heavy
hauling the curbing is not absolute
~ essential

Seven barge loads of gravel which
is to be used in lock number ten

was had with the last installment of
gravel which came here and it had
to be screened in the barges before
it was taken by the workman.

Presbyterian Picnic.

The members of the Presbyterian
Sunday School went out in the Rich
Woods yesterday afternoon to have

and came back after supper. The ex-

immensely.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 1.-THE
British naval authorities at Port
Royal, the naval headquarters here
express the opinion that the order
for the mobilization of the British
North American aud West Indian
squadron forms part of a grand,
comprehensive scheme for a naval
demonstration on the Pacific and
Atlantic intended TO indicate Great
Bri:ian's readiness to face any and
all possible hostile developments.
Great Britain, it is added, fully
realizes the menaces Of the future
and would as soon accept war now
with France or Russia, or both, and
the present determined demonstra
ticn indicates that neither Of them
will accept this challenge. But
should they do so, Crest Britain can
never be more prepared than now,

SPAIN WILL NOT GIVE
UP THE PHILIPPINES
SPANS POSITION.

Palis, Nov. According to the
best information the Spanish COM
missioners have taken this position:
1t is impossible for US either
to accept or refuse the conditions
the United States impose. We do
not desire to declare formal rup-
ture, because it would oblige Europe
to run the risk of beholding the hu.
initiation of an American feet bonn
harding European shores
I've do not intend to furnish
America with a pretext for the rsali.
cation of such an act. but we cannot
subscribe to dictates which are not
in conformity with the stipulations
adopted in the common agreement
that terminated the war
3-We do not feel We have right
to sign the abdication sought to be
imposed upon US. We leave public
conscience and history to judge the
act OF violence of which we are the
object, and, although we are unfor-
tunately convinced that our attitude
will have no effect upon the minds
Of our corquerers, we cannot assume
any other, because, by accepting the
conditions imposed, we would be
come accomplices in an injustice
and a violation Of internal law, TO
which we may submit, but in which
it is impossible to ask Us to take any
share of responsibility.

BECAME A RAVING MANIAC.
Attempted 10 Kill His Wife and Chi
dreu Chased Cattle in the
Pasture,

Clinton Tribune.
James W. Day, a well known far
mer living seven miles west of Wind
sor,suddenly became a raving maniac
Wednesday and would undoubtedly
have killed his entire family mad he
not been taken in charge by neigh
bors.
Mr.. Day worked IN the mines at
Joplin last winter and suffered an in
jury to his spine in an accident. OF
late his mind has been roticeably af-
fected. Wednesday he fastened
down the windows and all the doors
except one and tried to persuade his
wife, who was alarnei by his actions,
to come into the house. He was seen
later sitting in the house with a corn
knife IN his hand awaiting her ar
rival. He chased four girls in the
nelghborhood nearly frightening
them TO death, and was seen runnipg
the stock in the pasture Wednesday
night.
Thursday Henry Fewel, Mr.. Hill
burn and Mr.. Foster, three neigh
bore, took HIM in charge and con.
veyed him to Windsor The officers
there refused to take him off their
hands and he was brought to Gin
ton Thursday afternoon and turned
oger to Sheriff Galloway, who will
keep him until county court meets.
He was placed in the city Jail. In
his rawlings he imagines himself all
sorts of animals and initiates their
sounds
One Ct AR Days children was
drowned in a small branch in scarce
ly ten inches of water a short time
ago, in a very suspicious manner,
and neighbors think he may have
been the cause of its death in a fit
of insanity.
