The Spanish Trophies.

La carrying out his purpose to secure tro-
phies OF the victory of Admiral Dewey in
Manila bay, ex-Mayor Guernsey, fearful
that those in possession OF the ordnance
department might have been all assigned,
wrote the Admiral, July 6, explaining to
him his designs. Mr.. Guernsey had an
idea that perhaps the Admiral might have
on board the Olympia some of the captured
guns, which he was bringing home and re-
quested that, if such was the case, he would
use his influence in obtaining the assign
meut of two for Vermont. To-day MIR.
Guernsey received letter from Admiral
Dewey, from Trieste, dated July 26, in
which he expressed his pleasure at the pro.
position. He explained that he had none
OF the captured guns with him, but that
they had been turned over to the ordinance
department, and advised Mr.. Guernsey to
follow the course which he has pursued
The suggestion that the guns should be
placed on one of the terraces on the State
House grounds meets the Admiral's ap-
prevail.
In commenting on the apparent reluc-
lance OF Governor Smith to secure the guns
OF the Castillo assigned to Vermont, Mr.
Guernsey said that the ordnance depart.
ment at first expressed the opinion that all
the guns such as he desired had been as
signed. The department is hesieged with
petitions for just such trophies. 1t was
rare good fortune that Vermont was able to
get the two guns of the Castillo. Delay in
accepting them, through red tape proceed.

Death Plunge.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Aur. GA
most frlgntlul catastrophe occurred
near here at four O'Clock this afternoon
on the Stratford 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 forty feet below. Thus far
thirty six people are known to be dead
and severed more injured. Only two
persons are known to have escaped
unframed. 1t is believed there were
forty-three passengers on the car.
20 The treste is 440 feet long, made Of
iron, and unprotected by guard rails.
When Il car had run few feet on the
trestle the trucks left the rails. The
car continued on the ties for about
seventy five feet when it went off the
trestle and dropped into the pond be-
low, overturning completely and up
ending. When the car struck, the mo-
tor, which weighed four tors, and the
heavy trucks, crushed into il, instantly
killing many of the passengers.
The scene about The wreckc d car was
OF such horror those earliest on the
scene to render assistance seemed to be
stunned. Al of he persons killed sus.
tanned fractured skulls.

OCEAN GROVE, N. j., Aug. 4.-Be-
fore an audience Of 10000 persons,
Governor Roosevelt delivered an ad-
dress in the great auditorium here on
practical Politics and Decent Poll
tice." The audience which greeted
Governor Roosevelt was far and away
the largest that ever gathered in the
great hall. The address was delivere1
under the auspices of the Ocean Grove
Summer School of Theology. For the
past two or three days people have
been coming to the Grove in squads
and companies for the especial purpose
of seeing New York's famous Cover
ror and hearing him speak. Never in
the history of Ocean Grove did 80 great
an audience great public man,
preacher or laynian, with such unre-
strained enthusiasm as did the audi
ence which greeted Governor Roose-
vet
The Governor talked vigorously of
honesty in politics and he as vigorous
~ denounced the timid good man.
Referring TO the Philippine problem
he said: "We shall be guilty of a ter
rible wrong to humanity if, in the
Philippines, we retreat before armed
savagery instead of organizing a sui
table government which shall guaran-
tee justice to every one and an ever
increasing measure of liberty to those
who show themselves worthy of it.
The whole history of the world shows
that the wrong done by the mere SEN
timentalist is often OF larger proper
tions and more lasting than any other
kind of wrong, and of this wrong we
shall be guilty if we fail to do our task
thoroughly and we'll. What
the people have to do is to resolve to
back up the President to the full in
seeing that the outburst of savagery
is repressed once for all; to see that
these new tropic islands in the East
and West alike are not left to be the
prey of partisans and spoilsmen, bnt
are governed primarily in the inter-
est of their Inhabitants, and, therefore
ultimrte y for the honor and renown of
America

Dewey TO Senter.

The following reply was received TO-DAY
by Mayor Senter from Admiral Dewey Ia

city council on behalf of the citizens of
Montpelier to visit this city on his arrival

edge the receipt OF your letter of June Both
In which you 80 cordially extend on behalf

OF my high appreciation OF the honor which
Montpelier has done me in thus wishing to
entertain me and make my return home
memorable.
1t would give me much pleasure to meet
my old friends and townsmen and it is with
regret that | cannot accept the invitation
for any definite time. 1t is my hope to soon
visit Montpelier, but owing TO the fact that

Orange County Politics.

Editor of Journal:-In recent issue of
the JOURNAL you quoted from the Herald
and Neos OF Randolph a paragraph to the
effect that Col. Robert j. Kimbal and
William b. Wall are considered candidates
ior the Office OF Senator from Orange county.
This same Herald and NeWs announced,
about year ago, that there would be two
candidates for town representative at the
next election, W. B. Wall and Dana III,
Morse both republicans" No one ever
heard OF W. b. Wall, "the Republican"
and thought IL joke. In 1896, W. b.
ocratic convention, as candidate for Sena-
tor on the Democratic ticket. He wrote
letter to the chairman and declined the
nomination on the ground that he could not
endorse the Chicago platform, but no init
nation was made that he intended to leave
the democratic party. On the contrary
the Herald and Ne,os announced, as by au-
thority, that he was still a gold Democrat,
and would vote for the Democratic candi-
date, DR.. Jackson, for Governor.
1t is evident that Wall posed as Repub-
lican before he had ever cast Republican
vote-if, indeed, he has ever voted the Re-
publican ticket-but not before he had ma
nipulated Republican caucus. 1t was no
secret, because done openly, that at the
Randolph caucus for delegates to the State
convention OF 1890 he iran in" lot of his
gang, and carried the caucus for Grout by q
majority OF seven. 1t will be remembered
that contest by the Stickney delegates, at
the State convention, was seriously consid-
cred. That Circuit owes his election to Bill
Wall, there is no doubt whatever.
The Republicans Of Randolph, II they
present candidate for Senator to the
county convention next year, have an hon.
orable record and reputation to sustain
They ought to send real Republican, one
whose whole political career has been with
the party; and Orange county will no doubt
insist that true Republicans shall represent
her In the Senate next year, as it has before

Beware Of Food Samples.

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred from pois oning by the
use OF powders sent to the victims by
mail. In Leavenworth, Kans. the other
day nearly every doctor in town was
called to attend the children who had
gathered up, eaten, and been made ill
by samples of an article left at houses
by canvassers for advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have always
been favorite articles for this sampling
business. Yet there is nothing more
liable to lead to danger than the prac-
tice of using the various samples of
baking powder left at the door. They
are presented by irresponsible parties,
in appearance are not distinguishable
from arsenic, and indeed, in Indiana
some time since one package was found,
after it had caused the death of the
housewife, to Rave been mixed with
that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples of
food or medicine offered at the door.
Pure cream of tartar baking powders
sell upon their merits, and are never
peddled or sampled.

Gov. Long drove his old white horse
and wore his old white crash suit while
he was at bingham, just ambling
around to see his old friends. The
town folks say they are going for him
for vice-president, because they know
he would like it, and because they look
on his name as the proper thing to carry
the ticket through. And yet, what a
contrast between the way he came
home, and the loud acclaim which
greeted Alger, one the success of the ad-
ministration, the other the failure of it.

Sunday Horror.

BAR HARBOR, Me-, Aug. Elm the

Desert ferry to-day, twenty excursion
lists went to their death.
The Main Central railroad to-day ran
excursions to Bar Harbor from ali Sec
tions Of its line in Maine, the attrac-
ton being the warships which were ex-
pected to-day. All the forenoon long
trains packed with excursionists, were
rushing to Bar Harbor. The train

twelve cars jammed with people. At

From the wharf gang plank forty feet
long led up to the boat. The plank
was hinged at the inner end, the outer
being supported by chains, by which it
was raised or lowered to suit the tide.
When the excursion train from Ban
gor arrived at the ferry there was
rush for the steamer Sappho. The
first few passengers had crossed the
gang plank in safety, and 200 people
were massed upon it. Suddenly they
felt the plank give way beneath them.
The long timber supporting the plank
broke in the middle. The hinges held
up one end and the chain the other

dropped, and struggling, screaming

From Admiral Dewey.

Hon. Charles Dewey received Monday two
letters from Admiral Dewey, his brother,
dated at Trie'te, July 10 and q. The for
mer contains nothing Of public interest, but
in the letter dated July q the Admiral says
he expects to reach New York by Septem-
Der 80.
The Olympia will be stationed at Temp.
kinsville near Staten Island. After his
New York reception the Admiral will go
direct 10 Washington to pay his respects to
the President and Secretary of the Navy,
and to receive the sword voted him by
Congress.
Owing to his present impaired health the
Admiral was unable, when this letter was
written, to make further plans. During his
stay in Washington should a meeting OF the
Philippine commission be called there by
the President 1t might delay Admiral Dew
ey in Washington longer than he expects
but, barring unforeseen circumstances, his
family expect to see him in Montpelier by
October 10.

Yaqui Uprising.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. Amer
lean miners, who arrived here to-day
from the upper Yaqui river country,
They were driven out by marauding
bands of Yaqui Indians. They say
there are probably 1900 American
miners and prospectors scattered
through the Yaqui country, and that
their lives are in imminent danger, as
the Indians are getting holder and more
desperate each day.
Dispatches from Guaymas show that
the insurrection is constantly growing.
All the Indians in towns along the
river are rising in arms and taking to
the woods and mountains to Join their
companions. Jack Ramsey, the IA
nous frontier character, and an Amer
lean photographer, Ed. Miller, were on
the way to Almosa when they were at.
tackled by Indians and killed. Three
sloops on the Yaqui river were also at
tackled and the man in charge was
killed. The vessels were set on fire,
but were saved by the federal forces,
who drove the savages away. 1t is es-
timated that it will take 10000 Next
can troops to conquer the Indians if
they reach their former strongholds in
the mountains. During the two years
the Indians have been at peace they
have been investing their earnings in
arms and ammunition, and they are
now better equipped than ever for
ong and bloody campaign. The In
iians along the Mayo river are quiet
and do not seem inclined to join the
