Am Unusual Accident.

Mitch Reed, negro, while rldlDg
one mule and leading another a few
days ago, had the misfortune to nave
one of his hands badly injured. The
mule which he was leading suddenly
stopped and pulled back, ana the rem

through the Negroes hand between two
of his fingers, tearing it open for an
inch or two and making very painful
wound. DR.. Kendrick dressed the
wound, and it will probably soon be
we'll.

ACCIDENT IN CONNECTICUT.

The most frightful accident in Con-
Cured Sunday afternoon on the STRAIT
ford extension of the Shelton Street
Railway Company, when loaded car
went off the trestle over Peck's mill
pond, at Oronoque, about six miles
north of Bridgeport, and sunk in the
flats 40 feet below. Thirty people are
known to be dead and more injured.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unframed. It is believed that
there were 43 passengers on the car,
but the indicator was remove by a con-
ductor of another car and spirited
away, so that at present it is impossi-
BILE to state accurately the number
aboard.
The trestle is 44O fee long, made of
iron, with stone foundations, and was
not protected by any guard rails.
South of the trestle is a decided incline,
on which the car ran down at very
fast rate of speed. After it ran out
on the trestle for about ten feet the
trucks left the rails, and then the car
continued on the ties for about IS feet,
when it went off the trestle and
dropped into the pond below, over
turning completely and ending.
When the car struck, the motor, which
weighed four tons, and the heavy
trucks crushed into it, instantly kill
ing many of the passengers.

tation and reported dividends none of
these big concerns are at all lank or
spindly, notwithstanding the absence
of tariff mother to furnish nourish-
ment during the period of infancy.
All these little items of information
in regard to the extent of the trust
system abroad naturally suggest an
inquiry as to what would happen if
we complied with the Democratic
entreaty to g take off the tariff and
bust the trust" Well, for one thing,
we would be sure to furnish mighty
promising field of operations for the

1t is estimted by the Treasury De-
partment that the per capita circula
ton of the United States is $25.38.
The increase of all kinds of money in
circulation now over 1896 is 1925, O0O,-
600, of which S347, 900, 900 is in gold
coin. This is condition of affairs
which ought to satisfy men of all
shades of political opinion and to con-
vert members of every partysto the
belief that the one vital principle
which ought to be upheld as against
every other doctrine and under all
circumstances is protection to Ameri-
eau Industries. Those who wanted
more money have it to the tune of
1926, ZOO, 900, through protection. Those
who wanted our financial system left
untouched have what they wanted
and have unprecedented prosperity
besides. The man VINO would, under
such circumstances, rail at protection
is such man as would, in slang phrase,
g kick at pie"

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES IN VERMONT

The 72d annual report of the Yer
mont Mutual Fire Insurance company
of Montpelier shows an unusually
heavy fire waste in Vermont during
the past year. During the last half OF
July alone more than so lightning
losses were reported. All have been
adjusted or closely estimated so that
all the losses and expenses of the
company are proved for by the regular
4 per cent annual assessment. The
company has issued II, 479 policies
during the year. It has now at risk
$51, 783, $40, with premium notes for
payment of losses, 81 $50, 1902.
All claims against the company
have been paid, leaving balance in
the treasury of $s9, O17.43. The COM
pany has made a practice for five
years of laying aside portion of the
income to create fund for use in any
year when the losses were unusually
heavy. About $4,000 of this surplus
has been used this year.
The total assessments of the COM
pany for the past ~ years have been
357A per cent or an average of about
80 per cent a year assessments on it's
premium notes.
The causes of thefrms are divided
as follows: Lightning losses to live
stock and building, 243; stoves and
stove pipes, ia; defective chimneys,
Ill; kerosene oil lamps and lanterns,
As; other losses from various causes
making total of 725.

The most striking features Of The
Century for September, which will be
a Salt Water Number, is the first in
stalment of Captain Joshua Slocum's
"Sailing Alone Around the World"
This is the narrative of a daring voy-
age of circumnavigation, undertaken
by the author in 1895, in forty foot
sloop built by himself in Buzzard's
Bay, and taken back and forth across
the Atlantic and thence around Cape
Horn and the Cape of GOOD Hope,
without assistance or compaDiOnshlp.
The distance traversed was $4,000
miles, and the accuracy of the navl-
gators landfalis throughout was a
thing to marvel at, his chronometer
most of the time being a little tin clock
of the cheapest kind. Captain Slocum
was a thoroughly seasoned sailor
when he started on his adventurous,
single handed cruise, but his unique
achievement was not without diff
culties and perils that taxed to the
utmost his strength, endurance and in
genuity. Other contents Of this num-

A FACT THAT Is INDISPUTABLE

The position that New Hampshire
has attained as a summer resort is.
that it is the foremost in the country,
and every foot within the border of
the state is a part and parcel of the
vast wonderland, the beauty and like
of which does not exist. That part of
the state known as the White Mountain
region is, perhaps, as much as any in
favor as an abiding place, and to reach
it by any of the numerous routes one
passes through succession of scenic
surroundings that are ever charming
and diversified; and once in the
montains, one realizes then the grand
euer and impressiveness of the peaks
and their many attributaries-
Though not widely known, Dixville
Notch presents variety of attractions
that are not found in any other section
of the Granite State. The mountains
hereabouts are rough and ragged for
nations, and with the beautiful lakes,
cascades and waterfalls which abound
in the region, there is a series of
charming pictures in every direction,
of which you will never tire and which
delights and pleases the most critical,
while the elevation, nearly 1000 feet
above the sea level, secures for it a
temperature that is ever exhilarating.
The heart of the moutains might we'll
be said to be at Fabyan and Mt. Pleas
ant; from here one gets the best view
of the Presidential Ranges, and from
these points one may make short
tours to Jefferson, Bethlehem, Maple
wood, Profile House, Crawford, Jack
son, Sugar Hill or the summit of Mt.
Washington, and to reach each of
these places the tourist finds that he
is surrounded with famed nature at
fractions and curiosities like ''The
Flume,'' 1.-THE Basin,'' &C The Old Man
of the Mountains" "Elephant's Head"
"Echo Lake," "Silver Cascade" "The
Notch" and thousand other fully as
interesting oddities Of nature.
The accommodations for the sum-
mer sojourner in the mountain region
fairly rivals that of the great hotels of
the big cities, so complete are the
details, the larger mountain hotels
being in themselves small cities, with
every convenience, including thorough
ly equipped gas, electrical, water and
sewer systems. The methods through
which the guest finds enjoyment be-
sides he popular game of golf includes
base ball, tennis, croquet, mountain
climbing and coaching, while each
hotel has it's own orchestra, and con-
certs and dances are daily occurrences.
If you are going to the mountains,
you want to know about them, and
very complete guide is Book No. 4 of
the Picturesque New England series,
published by the Gen. Pass. Dept,
B. & M. RI, Boston, and which is
sent to any address, together with
tour book, replete in travelling infor-
nation, upon receipt of a two cent
stamp, while for six cents additional
portfolio of 80 mountain views is
included.
