Warren Robbins of West BrattIebOrO
Fatally Injured at Putney.

News has been received of the fatal ac-
cident which 5efell Warren Robbins of
West Brattleboro in Putney Tuesday. The
message states that he went to the woods
to chop down trees. A limb from maple
tree on which he was at work fell and
struck him across the upper part of his
body. 1t is supposed that he was killed
instantly, but the appearances indicated
that he had been dead several hours when
the body was found.
Mr.. Robbins formerly lived in Putney,
but he moved to Brattleboro over
year ago, and his family had been here
since then. He had worked for Albert
Townshend of Putney since last winter.
He was 40 years old. He leaves a wife
and son Fred in Brattleboro, daughter,
Mrs. Harris, who lives on the Wilder farm
in Dummerston, and daughter in London
derry.

Hungarian Gypsy MinstreIs

The gypsy minstrels form caste by
themselves. Their appearance is always
more swarthy than that Of other Hun
garian musicians, their dress is some
times purposely fantastic, and their
manner of life is far more Bohemian
than the most liberal minded artist
would care to own to. Every hotel and
restaurant in Budapest possesses its gyp-
sy band, and the method of payment is
as free and easy as the music itself and
their life. The hotel keeper is not
bound BY any contract, but at various
intervals throughout the performance
one of his gypsies takes dinner plate
and goes round among the various guests
in the hall from table to table, receiving
in the plate what the latter like to put
there. The favorite coin deposited there
is the nickel 10 kreutzer piece, answer
ing to our twopence. I have not often
seen form or a kronen (half f1orin).
The whole collection is, as rule, made
up of twopences. Good Words. 4a

As d Brother.

A certain curate was of a painfully

quence was constantly making awk-

an afternoon tea at the bishops palace,
he was taken to task for his failings by
a senior curate, who was one Of his
companions on the way home.
"Look here, Bruce, said the senior
decidedly, ''you are donkey. Why

ing your asinine. remarks? am speak

this point, and for the moment he won

WRECKED THE VESSEL.
A Possible Danger of Steam Jets as
.-----------. Ere EixtinEuiShfHrs.. 49,

Fire ExtfnEuishers.
Fer many years steam jets have been
considered excellent means for extil-
gushing fires in inclosed spaces, and
exam pies Of their good services have
been abundant. The theory of their ac-
ton of course is, like that of the several
kinds of fire extinguishing powders
which have been proposed at different
times, that the steam in the one case
and the sitting fumes from the powders
in the other displace the air in any par
ticular space under consideration, and
with it the oxygen as we'll, by which
nlone combustion can be sustained
In at least one instance, however, the
position was taken that if the steam
jets did not extinguish fire promptly
they soon became source of danger,
and as such were held accountable for
the loss about year ago Of a cargo
steamer carrying several hundred tons
OF coal and as many more Of miscel-
laneous chemicals and old rope. Fire
broke out in one Of the holds, which
were fitted with steam jet fixtures, and
! the jets were at once turned on. On
the day following it was proposed to
try hose in addition to the jets, and
one of the upper deck matches was
therefore taken off.
The almost immediate result was a
violent explosion, killing one of the
officers and seriously injuring another
All the other matches were blown off at
the same time, and the ship began to
leak, so that she soon had to be aban-
doned. One explanation advanced was
that the steam from the jets, passing
over the incandescent cargo. formed
water gas. which, with suitable air ad-
mixture, became explosive, with the
| result noted. The theory is not a COM
forting one, but whether it portrays a
possible condition of things yet remains
| to be demonstrated Cassier's Maya
zine.

NO RIGHT. TO INTERFERE.

Federal Government VIII Not Act In the
Carolina Riots.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Except in
the unlocked for event of the recur-
renee of the race rioting in the Carroll
mas, it is altogether improbable that the
government will interfere by force or
otherwise. The attorney general had
another conference with the president
in regard to the matter, and the con-
clusion was promptly reached that as
the demonstrations We're not directed
against the collector of customs in the
performance Of his duties, as such, the
government had no authority under the
constitution CT laws to exercise its fed
shot while away from his home, and on
business entirely disconnected from
that Of his office, and under these cir
cumstances, the government, it is said,
has not a shadow Of a right to inter-
fere. If the collector had been
shot in the discharge of his official du-
ties and in an effort to enforce the laws
Of the United States, the case would
have been very different, and the duty
of the government would have been
clear. In the present case, however,
the lawless acts Of the mob were not
directed against the execution of the
laws Of the United States, but against
the individual.
The case would have been the same
had Tolbert been shot on the highway
by. a robber. Administration officials
have no sympathy with the Carolina
rioters and regard their acts with alb
horrence, but up to this time it is said
there is no evidence that would warrant
any interference by the government.
