American Securities Abroad

The sales Of American securities have been, &C.

an increasing influx OF British gold into this mar

faith for which the people not only of this but
foreign countries have good grounds for credence

l.. Phaien's Defence Of the tavern
ment
Two former pastors OF the Unitarian
church of BrattleDoro were much in evil
dence in Boston Monday morning u was
at meeting of the Ministerial Union
called to listen to an address boy Rev.
Samuel NJ. CrUthers of Cambridge upon
"The Minister as a Moral Leader In
the course of Mr.. Crothers's remarks he
said that "the minister should be- man
who stands in the light of the church, and
he should make timely application OF the
eternal truth. Under the present methods,
the average man is inclined to look upon
the pulpit as having a great deal too much
conventionality'
The meeting was diverted somewhat
from its original purpose boy Rev Charles
f. Dole of Jamaica Plain, VINO offered a
resolution urging President Mckinley to
use his influence to stop all seizure OF the
private property tnot contraband OF war
of Spaniards upon the sea, giving his res-
sons therefor
Rev. Frank J.. Phalen of Concord, y.
H., opposed the passage of the resolutions
because he thought this was no time for
the minister, 10 presume TO advise the
President In this emergency he should
be trusted To do what is best Tor the cOuu-
try. He is a Christian gentleman. said
the speaker. and he has a Christian secre-
tary of the navy, and they are regardtHl of
the morals Of the nation. Ministerial in
reference during the civil war was one of
the greatest annoyances that President
Lincoln had to contend with.
Mr. Phalen said that he believed the
resolutions contained an implied reflection
on the ability OF this government 90 carry
on the war at is all right" be coutin-
ued "to express our moral convictions,
but it Is not right for us 10 come here and
advise the government as how TO carry on

more harm than good lie regretted that
it should be charged or even suggested that
the people of the United States are buc-
cancers or pirates. The resolutions were
passed with only one dissenting vots-that

NO EARLY MORNING TRAIN.
President futile of the Boston a Maine
Says IL WsuId Not Pay.

A letter was received Wednesday from
President Tuttle of the Boston a Maine
railroad concerning the petition for an
early morning train north from Springfield.
Mass, to White River Junction, in which
he says that he does not think that the
company would get sufficient return for
running the train TO warrant its putting it
upon the road. 1t would cost about 81 a
mile to run such train, but if the company
should be guaranteed 80 cents a mile for
running il, he would put it on for four
months as an experiment. The carrying
of the mails is now done on other trains
and there would be no additional revenue
obtained from the new train from this
source.

THE VILLAGE MEETING
Rests with Each individual Voter 60
DO His DUTY.

II Is Time when the Responsibility
Rests with Each individual Voter 20
DO His DUTY.
A diligent effort is being made to obscure
the issue which is involved in the election
of village officers next Tuesday 1t is en-
tirely true that there are personal consider
ations which, at another time, might lead
many citizens to oppose the old board.
Several disagreements and local grievances
have arisen during the year, like the Estey-
vile sewer question. questions about the
fire department, conflict of opinion and
policy between the bailiffs and the select
men. and so on. But no one of these is
really important, and when all is said every
voter knows perfectly well that the real
issue is over the control of the rum trade
and the fight against the island brewery
nuisance. 1t was this which animated and
enthused the majority which carried the day
in the caucus. 1t is answer enough to all the
special pleading on the subject to say that
the selection of the caucus board of bailitfs
was made openly and in person by brewery
representatives.
There is no, the slightest need that their
attempt at overturn and control shall be
successful If voters who believe in what
the claw and order ticket represents
come to the polls that ticket will be elected
by strong majority. The strength of the
other side was shown in the caucus The
strength of claw and order" sentiment in
the Bratteboro community, as compared
! with that vote, is three to one.
/ The question and the only question, is
/ whether each individual voter will consti-
| tute himself a committee of one to see
/ that he himself does his duty. Come to
! the polls and vote for what you believe to
/ be right and the work will be done. Mere
/ ly as a matter of business and cold calcu-
lation the village of Brattleboro cannot at
! ford to have word sent out to its neighbors
that its people do not want the village kept
| clean, and that they DO not support their
officers when they try to enforce the laws.

MIR. Days strong and True words.

Editor Of The Ph0utr.-Sir. Allow
me to say that hope the absorbing inter
est in the Spanish war will not hide the
importance of the local issue made up for
next Tuesday, village meeting Without
rejecting upon the manner OF nomination,
and certainly no. upon the character of the
caucus ticket for bailitts upon which are
men of strong temperance principles, there
ought TO be, and have enough confidence
In this village to think tina, there will be-
a most emphatic endorsement and election
of the fifty characterized Law and Order
ticket, headed by Messrs. Emerson and
Fleming. The past year has witnessed.
beyond any of the nearly IL years of my
residence here. an honest. uuselh,h, thor
ouCh and courageous effort 10 maintain our
standard of life al q high level of safety
and moral propriety and secure for our
citizens the privileges of the river. island
and mountain. from which they are now
virtually cut of by an unmitgated nuisance.
The question of the hour with us is how
ever one not only of privilege. but OF rep
utatiOn and character. Personal feelings,
and smaller issues that can wait or be
otherwise settled, will, / am sure be put
one side by true local. as by a sound ma
uOual public spirit. 1t has been demon
strated that we can have a clean and or
deIly town. If We want it, in spite OF
evaders or breakers of the law. What !
want TO see is an unmistakable demons
tratiOn that We do want il. and insist upon
having it and are putting our confidence
for it in men who have been thoroughly
tested and have abundanty earned our
grateful and hearty support.

PRAIRIE FIRE
Destroyed Nearly All Albert
Ellis Farm Property
Thursday.

In the high wind Thursday prslrle fire
occurred IN different parts Of the county.
One originating southwest OF the city
destroyed considerably over thousand
dollars worth Of property Of Albert Ellis.
Mr.. Ellis resides II miles southwest Of
jamestown. In the bazy atmosphere,
filled with fine dust, the approach of the
fire was not noticed until after it had
jumped the fire break and reached the
stables. Then it was too late to save
much.
Among the property destroyed was
large barn and grpnary. horse feed,
thirty tons Of hay-all that there was-a
set OF harness, eight calves, three pigs
two about to be dressed-the wind mill,
stone hen house, new wagon, suffi-
clent seed for 400 acres of lapd-all the
seed wheat they hsd-and 200 bushels of
wheat, the property Of w. B. s. Tumble,
and just hauled to the place The
barn and granary could be replaced for
5000: the seed wheat was worth fully
$4O0 more.
Everything on the place was destroyed
it is said, with the exception of the
house and we'll house. The banking on
the north side of the house caught fire
but was discovered in the nick of time.
The loss falls heavily on Mr.. Ellis-he is
said to have had no insurance-but
is said to have been arranged for
and he will rebuild as early as possible.
Mrs. A. Ellis had a narrow escape
from death IN the receEt destruction OF
their farm property. The roof of the
barn was atire when she entered in the
hopes OF saving some of the stock.
Almost Immediately after her entrance
the fire closed IN the entire building,
whipping into the door che entered.
Bewildered but pIuckilly she groped her
way through the flames and smoke until
out OF the building and in place of
safety.
Mr.. Ellis and men we're at work IN
| the barn, but coming out for an instant
| he discovered smoke 10 the air While
he stood looking the tire was on him,
sprang up almost at his feet, leEped to
the roof OF the barn and the men had
! only time to get the horses out. The
fire approached entirely without warn
ing, owing to the character of the day.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from s,nouldering stack bottom, fired.
some days previously. The fire ran ex-
ceedingly rapid, leaped all fire breaks.
One of its freaks was that in some cases
1t burned the grass off clean about
buildings-even under them ~ some
| instances-wlthout setting fire to the
buildings.
