IN MEDINA COUNTY.
GOOD ROAD MOVEMENT is
BEING AGGITATED,

A Letter from the Chairman Of the
Board of County Commissioners, as
to What is Being Done in Lltchneld,
to the Medina Gazette.
In reply to an inquiry from the Ga
zette, H. E. Leach Of Litch6eld, chair |
man Of the board of county commission
ers, gave this explanation in his own
words Of what was being attempted i'll
the way of permanent road building:
Editor Gazette:-In reply to your in
quiry about what is being done in the
county for the permanent improvement
Of some Of our. worst pieces OF road, /
will say that the commissioners have
made the proposition to some Of the
trustees Of the townships that they
would bear 0ne-half Of the cost of
the lime stone or Stag delivered
at the depOts in the county II the people
along the road to be fixed would put the
roadbed in condition and deliver the
crushed stone from the cars on to the
road without expense to the town or
county. We learned that we could buy
crushed lime stone for 38 cents cubic
yard at Bluffton. But the L. E. s. W.
r. r. wanted 80 cents ton rate, but by
earnest work with the company we final
ly got the rate Of so cents a tona n.y.
where on their road in the county. And
the agent in Medina Of the G. L. & W.
R. R. agrees to deliver Stag anywhere on
that railroad in the county at 30 cents
a ton and $3.50 car.for.l loading.
"The people of Litchfeld and the
trustees Of that township also have ac-
cepted our proposition and have begun
making road between the depot and
the town. They will macadamize about
100 rods this fall. They have 1t about
finished now.
''The trustees Of Liverpool expect to
begin their road between the depot and
the town this fall.
Il have not heard what has been done
in York. They are very anxious to have
that road macadamized through the
Burnam fats. H. E. Leach"
Litchfeld has Begun.
| The township Of Litehheld has been
| the first to meet the commissioners
proposition and get to work. As a result
Z that town now has fine macadamized
road from its center to the Northern
Ohio depot, formerly a bad stretch o.
horse killing mud road.
The Way They Build it.
In Litchfeld the macadam road Is O
crushed BlufftOn lime stone, nine fee
wide and foot thick. Two good ditche
, are made at either side Of the road, ant
the road is leveled before the crushe,
stone is put on. This Bluffton stone ha
the property Of solidifying under tn
pressure Of wagon traffic, so 1t does no
sink in the clay but makes a pavement
The property owners Of Litchfeld turne,
out with good public spirit to haul tn
stone from the cars and to prepare tn
, road bed. Now they have an ample re
ward and have set a good example 70
the whole county.
Cost of the Rock Road.
The county commissioners inform tn
! Gazette that the stone costs 38 cents
cubic yard on board the cars at Bluffton
Allen county, O., and the freight to Med
ina county is so cents per ton. Thi
would make macadam road like Litch
fields which is nine feet wide and on
: foot thick cost about $2.75 rod, (roug
estimate) exclusive Of labor furnishe
graft shy those living along the road.

he three women from Montpelier

The three women from Montpelier
who drew such a crowd of spectators
along their line of march down Main St.
yesterday afternoon have reason to be
proud OF their achievement The
male inhabitants of our city, when
they visit the state capitol are some
times accused of getting their inspira-
ton from spiritus frumenli, but to our
knowledge no Barre women have ever
visited Montpelier and made such a
spectacle of themselves as did the Trio
Of Montpelier ladies (9) who honorcd
our city by a visit yesterday. 1t may
be the custom for women to 90 on
''bender'' in our neigbboring city and
and chassa unsteadily along the side
walk to the boisterons amusement of
corner loafers, but in Barre such things
are enough of 4 novelty to draw a con.
siderable crowd, and the three well
known married women who gave the
exhibition yesterday may congratulate
themselves that they made the hit Of
the season in their realistic representa-
ton of the true Partisan Bohemia.

NJ. $. Stone who has since 1892 faith
fully and creditably fulfilled the duties
attending the position of State Superin-
tendent Of Schools is again a candidate
and although Burlington as usual wants a
finger in the pie it will be for the best
interests of cause which is of univer-
sal importance to every citizen in the
state if one who has devoted six years
of study and labor to perfect our edu-
cational system should be reinstated in
the position where he can complete the
good work he has so we'll begun. This
is a question in which political ambition
should have no part, moreover those
who have in trust the matter OF select
ing a man for the place cannot exercise
too great caution in choosing one who
understands the present needs of the
greatest factor in civilization and GOOD
government, the education of the young.
No man in the state is in a position to
understand those needs better than Nj.

visiting Secretary Quesada of the Gu

He brings word of extreme distress
among the Cubans in and about Tam

anxious to return to Cuba and begin
work, but they are destitute and unable
to make the move. Secretary Quesada
received similar reports concerning the
condition of General Gomezs men. a
telegram from Key West announces the
arrival there Of a commission from Co
mez, with a view to securing assistance.
The dispatch states that the army is
literally starving to DEATH that the

FRANCE IN, A NEW ROLE
Story That Republic VIII Recognize
Philippine Independence.
WASHINGTON INCREDULOUS.
according to n Dispatch to the Lon-
don Globe, the French Are AL
ready Negotiating With the
Insurgents ut Manila.

London, Sept. PA dispatch to The
Globe from Hongkdng says it is learned
from trustworthy Filipino source that
France has promised to recognize the
Filipino republic. Negotiations on the
subject, it is said, are proceeding at Ma
nila where there are three French war
ships now.
Washington, Sept. 27.-The story OF
coming French recognition OF the phil
ippine republic is not believed here.
Nevertheless the announcement from
London has caused some uneasiness.
Any such recognition could only be for
the object of embarrassing this govern
ment, and the actions of France have
not been as friendly to us during the
war with Spain as could have been de-
sired.
The Lafayette blockade incident Is
not forgotten and there are diplomats
who say that it would be in a line with
French diplomacy just now to cause
strained relations with a foreign coun-
try.
1t is pointed out that the recognition
of our American republic was FASTENED
by France for the purpose Of embar-
RAISING England at that time, besides
her strong sympathy with the colonies.
and that history repeats itself In
strange ways. At the French embassy
nothing could be learned of the matter.
