Torringtcn, Conn; Henry A. Lee, Spring

W. T. A. Fitzgerald and Daniel F. Egan,
two Boston lawyers. made a strong plea
for representation for the minority stock
holders. The former nominated Patrick
d. Burke, of Revere, Mass. as a member
of the board. He was not elected. Attor-
ney Fitzgerald asked Chairman Edward D.
Robbins why the minority stockholders
had not been notified of the meeting and
was told the bylaws did not require it.
He also asked why they had received TO
statement of the financial status Of the
company and Mr. Robbins replied that as
the road had been leased by the New York,
New Haven, and Hartford road it could not
be expected as it was covered in the lat
ter's report.

A Rich Mine Found by n Girl.
(From the ST. Paul Dispatch.)


Miss Edith Howe, who has just returned home
to Rapid City, s. D., from the Klondike, brings
confirmation of the report that Robert ,Florman
and his family, former residents of Rapid City.
have discovered rich quartz vein of ore in the
Atin mining district, Alaska.
The discovery made by Florence Florman,
one of the daughters. who had acquired ex-
perience in mining and prospecting in her girl
hood days in the Black Hills. 1t CHANGED that
William Partridge, well-known mining expert
OF London known to the English mining people
as sailor BILL a name which he got in South
Africa, a personal friend of the Flormans
and, after examining the quartz vein, he bonded it
for 500, 900 and went to London, where he inter
ested titled Englishman who took up the bond
and commenced immediate development of the
property.
The Flormans received their money. and the
chance is considered good for the opening up of
Of the richest quartz gold mines in the world
Soon after the discovery of the vein, Miss Flor
Florman met Frank Baker, rich mine
owner of the Klondike, who made love to her. and
their marriage celebrated Just before Misa
Howe left for her home in this city. Mr.. and
Mrs. Baker residing in Dawson City.

A Ground,ess Canadian Scare.

1t seems that, owing to a report that
President Kruger had issued letters of
marque to certain French adventurers, the
Canadian authorities deemed it prudent to
arm the transport conveying the Dominion
contingent to South Africa, with rapid-fire
guns. The idea of danger from privateers
probably originated in the story that a GER
tain wealthy but also cranky Frenchman
had visited Pretoria and offered to fit out
some vessels to prey upon English COM
merce, but had been curuy dismissed by
Dom Paul.
AS matter of fact, the latter could do
nothing else, unless he were as ignorant
of international law as the Canadian Gov
ernment appears to be. The question OF
the Transvaal right TO consideration az
an independent power aside, State with
out seacoast or q nayigable river reach
ing the sea, and hence without seaport or
the possibility of one, cannot fly its flag
on the ocean. 1t could not have merchant
ships, for there would be no port at which
they could acquire national register, OF
from which they could clear. For similar
reasons it could not have navy, for there
would be no place on any shore in any part
of the world where it would not be an
alien. a country thus estopped from pos
sessing either mercantile or military navy
would hardly undertake to authorize fee,
of privateers.
II it should, it would be doing something
never before attempted in the annals of ma
tions, and the act would be regarded as
a crazy one. As question of the kind has
never been presented, for obvious reasons,
writer's on international law, as far as
We know. are silent as to what might hap
pen if Switzerland or some other exclu-
sively inland State were to raise it. New
ertheless, there is no doubt whatever as to
the manner in which the maritime powers
would regard an act of the kind referred
to. OF course. Kruger If he SO desired.

wild stretch Of imagination. some persons

line tc Pietermaritzburg. as above sug-
gested.
The factor Of uncertainty Is the course
which these apparently desperate circum-
stances will dictate to Sir George White.
We assume from what we can gather from
the meagre details available, that it would
rot now be feasible to attack the Free
Staters, with any idea of defeating them
separately, and then giving battle to soa-
bert. For practical purposes the hostile
columns must be one body by this time.
If the British general had anything to fall
back on he might attempt movement
toward the coast; but as the country In
that direction is bare OF troops, probably
he is better of behind his entrenchmen-s
than he would be in the open with the
whole army of the enemy on his track
1t is not possible to offer any intelligent
prediction as to what may next be ex-
pected to happen on the Natal frontier;
but it is quite certain that the situation
at the moment is one of the gravest
peril for the gallant British troops.

Treed by n North woods Wolf.
From the Utica Morning Herald.)


The representatives of the Consolidated Graphite
Company of Nova Scotia are engaged in opening
a graphite mine the lands of Merritt Duell's
farm. near Conklngville, a short distance from
Worthwhile. Fulton county.
The expert who is in charge of the work. and
is acquainted with all kinds Of animals says that
in going to the mine few days ago he saw
large wolf. He described it as being a very
old animal. as he looked gaunt and haggard At
first the wolf seemed inclined to show fight as
he came up near to the and growied and
snarled and seemed bent upon making a meal of
the aged prospector. But, he being acquainted
with the habits Of these ferocous animals, made
4 dash for a nearby chestnut tree and grasped
OF the lower limbs and drew himself up and
hastily climbed the tree. He was none too soon,
for the teeth of the hungry animal snapped with
in few inches Of his legs just as he was pulling
himself into the tree. The wolf made fruitless
jumps after the thoroughly frightened man, who
set up a yell for help, which was heard by
party of men engaged in excavating at the mine,
about one fourth Of mile away. They hastily
came to the rescue of their companion, who by
this time was in the topmost branches of the
tree. still yelling Justify.
When help arrived the wolf was running around
the tree trying 10 find out if there was not some
way by which lie could go up higher and make
. breakfast out Of the expert. The wolf seeing
that he wos outrumbcred, slowly ambied away.

A NEW COAL COMPANY.
West Virginia Mines to BE Develop.
ed With 100000 Capital.

ELKINS. w Va, Oct. 2I-The Kerens
Coal Company of Elkins. w. Va. has been
incorporated yformer Senator Henry G.
Davis, Senator Stephen B. Elkins, Col
Thomas B. Davis, of Keyser, W. Va;
Richard c. Kerers. of st. Louis, NO., and
Fairfax S. Landstreet. of Davis, ". Va,
with an authorized capital of 800. .0G0. This
organization, it is believed is the result Of
the efforts to consolidate the DavisE Elkins
and the Kerens interests. between which,
it is said, there had been friction.
Mr.. Kerens is heavy stakeholder in the
West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Rail-
way, but not in the Davis Coal and Coke
Company, and is alleged to have claimed
that the discrimination Of the latter was
inimical to his interests in the road. and the
new corporation lets Mr.. Kerens into ac-
tive coal operations with the same influ-
ences that have controlled the Davis Coal
and Coke Company. The Mill Creek Coal
and Lumber Company Of Elkins has also
been incorporated by the Messrs. Davis,
Kerens Senator Elkins and C. VI. Hend-
ley, of Washington, D. C. The authorized
capital is $3.50. 900.

Parliament has adjourned and gone
home. On the whole, the Salisbury govern
ment has come out of the ordeal without
loss of prestige. We must say, however.
that the criticisms it has been obliged to
hear in regard to its unreadiness 20 meet
the issue of war in South Africa have been
more than justified. Otherwise opposition. to
the ministerial policy and programme has
been perfunctory. except on the part OF the
Irish element. and antagonism in that
quarter was naturally to be expected. In
general. the short session developed the
fact that both the great British parties are
scfidly supporting the Crown in the emer-
gency of a war.

Our Mail Facilities.

from the ST. Louis be-Democrat)
Fast mail trains are 4 growing institution OF
the country and have proved their great value and
immense possibilities A day begins at
mails pull out, cleaning up completely the cor
respondence of the day before and moving abreast
of the day Just opening. As they speed on they
give along their routes special facilities before
the sun rises. They are the early birds of busi-
ness. They practically save day and often two
days The simple reason for their success is that
they make the earliest start, beating the lark
by hours, and getting ahead of breakfast time by
half the width of State. Nothing is further
from the truth than the assertion that fast mail
trains serve only special interests. They are of
universal advantage, TO small towns as well as
large to country as well as city, and they have
become indispensable. ST. Louis has six and
will work untiringly to secure them to all points
of the COMPASS.

All Halloween.

Halloween will be here before long. and
II is reported that Major Sylvester has sig
nified his intention of repressing the way
ward jollity of the small boy in his desire
to celebrate this happy occasion. Major
Sylvester will have the sympathy and good
will. and also the commiseration, of the
public in his efforts to do this.
The small boy Of Washington has hither-
to regarded Halloween as an opportunity
for practical joking on an elaborate and
extended scale. He has showered flour and
molasses on pedestrians, strung wires
across the sidewalk, thrown dead things
into peoples doorways. flung blazing balls
of paper, and done other things interfering
seriously with the happiness of persons
obliged to be abroad on the night in ques-
ton. In short, the Scotch goblin of ballad
and romance was not to be compared with
the small boy in his glory. real human
being can generally discount anything su-
pernatural when it comes to actual per-
formance.
The police will endeavor to protect the
innocent passer-by, and catch the practical
joker wherever possible. Districts in which
small boys abound will be more closely
watched than usual 1t may be mentioned
in this connection that there are a great
many grown-up hoodlums who have made
themselves obnoxious in the past by their
ill-considered practical jokes. There is no
excuse for the throwing of blazing missiles
into carriages. or the deluging of a lady's
hat and gown with flour, or for stretching
strings across the public sidewalks where
old people are liable to be tripped and Sc
riously injured Nobody but barbarian
sees any fun in such pranks. But at the
same time there will probably be more or
less of that sort of thing. despite all that
the police can do. There are not enough
policemen to catch all the small imps
in town. Public opinion will in time
have TO interfere with this way of
celebrating an old and picturesque holiday.
as it has settled other unseemly public OBJ
servances before now.

The news which General Fitzhugh Lee
brings home from Cuba is eminently sat
isfactory and encouraging as TO the mat
tiers it covers He states that the annexa-
ton sentiment is rapidly growing, and that
good crops promise prosperity for the
coming year. We are not surprised TO
hear that the intelligent class of Cubans
favor closer union with the United States.
They cannot be blind to the dangers OF in
dependence while a large majority OF the
population is sunk in abject ignorance and
is practically uncivilized. The real hope
for the island obviously is annexation.

An Enoch Arde. Complication,

wELLSBoRO, Pa. Oct. ga case with
some Enoch Arden characteristics has Just
developed in this county. In the summer
of 1885 Lafayette Williams disappeared
from Hollidaytown. His young wife was
unable to gain any trace of him until 1888,
when Elmer Woodward. Williams cousin,
told her Williams had died of consumption
The following year Mrs. Williams married
William e. Fulkerson, only to learn in
1896 that Williams was not dead. Since
that time they have lived apart. Mrs.
Fulkersoa has Just begun action for the
annulment of her second carriage. Full
kerson will make no defence.

A Paris despatch has it that the return
OF NJ Jules Cambon to Washington as
French Ambassador. is due to an under
standing between the cabinets OF the
United States and France, on the subject
of common action in the event of certain
things happening in South Africa IL also
states that several European powers are
in the arrangement We are prepared to
believe that Paris might accept such a
story as probably true; but NJ. Cambon
will not indulge any dream of the sort.
As persona grata to Mr.. Mckinley, he will
be in a coed position to lock out for
signs of the Anglo-Sax alliance spectre,
and perhaps do a little something in the
way OF promoting the friction between this
country and Canada; but he will not think
OF proposing any American participation in
a movement against Great Britain.

Incendiarism Blamed for the Build
fns's Destruction.
GREENWICH, Conn. Oct 27.-Fire
that is believed to have been of incendiary
origin destroyed the King Street Baptist
Church early yesterday morning. During
the Revolutionary War the Americans m t
the British in several skirmishes in the
immediate neighborhood, and the wounded
soldiers were cared for in the church. 1t
was built in 1173.
While Thomas Sutton, town official OF
Greenwich, was driving through King
Street to his home about l O'Clock yester-
day morning he saw man standing near
a clump of bushes in the churchyard. At
the same moment flames appeared at a
window of the old structure. The man
saw Sutton, and, jumping into buggy,
drove rapidly away.
When the fire department arrived the
building was wrapped in flames. The great
