The Granite Situation.

1t is the general expectation here that one
of the results of the settlement between Nr.
John PIERCE, the contractor, and the Granite
Cutters Union, will be the resumption of ac-
tivity at the plants of the Bod we'll Granite
company in this section. 1t is thought prob
able that Mr.. PIERCE, whose business inter-
ests are closely allied with those Of the com
pany, will sub-let the contract for the base
ment Of the Chicago government building 60
them, and in that case it would no doubt be
cut at ViDalhaveu. Another of Mr.. Peirce =
contracts is the extension of the government
building at Buffalo, n Y The building it.
self was cut by the Bodwel' company at
Spruce Head from red granite taken from
their Jones boro quarries, and it seems very
likely that the extension may be cut from
the same stone and at the same place. The

When the Penobscot Closes.

The average closing date of the Penobscot
river for the 81 years from 1878 to 1898, in
elusive, has been Dec 9. This refers to the
first closing, and takes no account of re-
opening and later Blessings. The second
Tin one year, 1891 the thirCD and final clos
ing date for the 81 years has been Dec. II
The first closing is the one to be used for
practical purposes, as no business of any
consequence is done after the reopening of
the river by freak of the weather.

Wales as a Horse yrader.

The Prince OF Wales is in the
horse trade, and he is in it to make
money 1t is doubtful whether there
is more successful horse dealer in
England than His Royal Highness.
The other day the Prince had sale
of 6fty-four Shire horses at Sand
ringham, his country place in hor
folk. These are an English breed
of horses fitted for the heaviest kind
of work. They may be fine animals,
but they do not as rule bring fancy
prices. The Prince got $4,000 for
his 6fty-four draught horses, One
of them, filly, brought $4,000 from
Sir Blundell Maple, furniture
maker, who is bravely fighting his
way into society. Mr.. Hadley, an
other struggling millionaire paid
$1,000 for dray horse. Lord Roths-
child secured horse for $4,000.

Beer That Is Not Taxable.

WASHINGTON, Dec. N-Some days
ago the Secretary of the Treasury
submitted to the Attorney. General
the question of the taxability of
beer, under the war revenue act. 1t
is understood that in the forth
coming opinion it will be held that
beer in the hands OF the retailers on
the date the act went into effect is
not subject to the increased tax.
This question has been before the
Internal Revenue Bureau for some
time, and there being some doubts
as to the legality of the tax, its en-
forcement was not carried TO the
point OF reissue. Considerable sums,
however, were collected from re-
tailers on this account, and these
will be refunded.

Is He q EihilistP

Among the motley crowd gather
ed in this morning by the police, is
one Feodor Biezbicki, Russian,
whose name we have tried to spell
correctly, who is charged with lar
ceny. He and countryman arrived
here in November, and his fellow
traveller claims that Feodor robbed
him of package OF valuable papers,
which he substituted with a parcel
containing blank papers and piece
of iron, placed there to give weight
to the package. Among the lost
papers was deposit receipt from a
Chicago bank for bonds valued at
1900. The package was found in
possession of Feodor, who, it is
claimed, is a Nihilist escaped from a
Siberian prison. After numerous
adventures he reached San Fran
cisco, and from there he drifted to
Honolulu, where he eventually land
ed in the Station House. His trial
will take place tomorrow morning.

six DueIs Are Being Arranged.

-
BUDAPEST, Dec. 27-The quarrel
between Baron Banffy, the Hun
garian Premier, and M. Horanszky,
member of the lower chamber of the
Hungarian Diet, is likely to have
curious developments. Although,
owing to the inability of their
seconds to agree upon the conditions
of the proposed duel, the encounter
has been declared off, the affair may
lead indirectly to several meetings
on the field Of honor. M. Horanszky
and his seconds, having heard that
the seconds of Baron Banffy have
been animadverting upon the con-
duct OF M. Horanszky, have sent
challenges to both. Baron Banffy's
seconds are Baron Fejrvary, Minis
ter of Natl onal Defense, and M.
Gajasi, OF the Chamber of Deputies.
As each has received three chal-
lenges there are six duels being ar
ranged.

to the delivery offic Q always remain

that we are at work and closed dur

Would it be asking too much of
those who control the duties and ac-

ask that during two or three even
ings week, and especially after the
arrivals of ocean mail steamers, the
delivery and stamp windows be
open from 6 to 7:30 p. m.
This would be a great boon to
many whose correspondence is not
large enough to justify the payment

Seed That Will Grow in Arid Re-
gi0nS of the Northwest.
Sioux City. Iowa. May 6.-After a year in
Central Asia, Prof. n. E. Hansen, of the
horticultural department Of the South Da-
kota Agricultural College at Brookings. is
distributing seeds gathered in the Orient
to farmers OF the semi-arid regions Of the
Northwest.
Prof. Hansen's mission was undertaken
at the request of Secretary Wilson. Of the
United States Department of Agriculture.
Climatic conditions in the country visited
by him are similar to those throughout a
large portion of the Dakotas. Montana,
Wyoming. and even Northern Nebraska.
and Colorado Though not entirely with
out rainfall, the average annual precipita-
tion Is deficient. and the crop failures all
ever the section are more frequent than
tie years of plenty.
Secretary Wilson inclined to the opinion
that this condition was due to the cultiva-
tion of the wrong crops. and chose Prof.
Hansen as one of the best informed men
in the country on the subject to investi-
gate the vegetation on the Russian and
Siberian steppes. where agriculture seems
to have been more successfully carried on
than In the northwestern portion OF the
United States.
The professors investigations have tend
ed strongly to bear out Secretary Wilson's
contention.
Among the most valuable seed secured
were several varieties OF Russian Bronze
grass. t

VERDICT FOR A MoB's VICTIM.
Negro Whose House Was BUrDed
AWaFded $50. 900 Damages.

Louisville, KY, May 6.-George Dining.
a negro who sued the mob that fired on
him and burned his house and one of whom
he killed, was given a verdict for S5e 600
damages. the full amount he sued for. by
a Jury of representative Kentucky farm
ers yesterday.
The defendants are all white men. but
they possess no property. and have already
announced their intention of going to jail
ten days and then securing their release by
taking the insolvent debtors oath.
Members of the mob went to Dinnins's
house. in Franklin county. in January,
1897, warned him to leave and fired upon
him. He fired back and killed Jodie Conn.
a farmer, who was leading them. For this
he received a sentence of two years in the
penitentiary, but was at once pardoned by
Governor Bradley and then brought the
$4,000 suit in the Federal district court.
His wife and ten children were driven
away from home and his house was burned.
Judge Evans gave strong Instructions to
the jury in favor OF the plaintiff. Under his
instructions the only question was as to
the amount Of damages to be assessed.
Judge Evans said there ought certainly
to be compensatory, and even punitive.
damages. The testimony indicated that
Dinning had not fred the first shot. All Of
the circumstances were in favor of the
plaintiff.
Judge Evans excluded about fifteen per-
sons named as defendants. and said the
evidence made these men liable: Doc"
More. ''Ab" Freeman. Joseph Flowers.
John Flowers. John Phelps and p. H. Conn.
administrator of Jodie Conn.
Attorney for the defence admitted that
his clients had no right to visit Dining s
home as they did. He said they admitted
they had done wrong in the eyes of the
law. but they pleaded palliating circum-
stances. He declared it was not reasona-
BILE to suppose they would fire into Din
ning's house without some provocation.
and he took the ground that Dinning had
fred the first shot and killed Jodie Conn.
Counsel made the best possible defence.
but the jury unanimously gave Dinning
the verdict.
