oxford, June THE explosion Of a
lamp at about 3 o'clock this morning in
the tenement in Vinton Brothers house,

for a while promised to be serious. Mr..
Fletcher, on becoming aware of the
danger. with great presence Of mind
seized a rug and in a short time sue
ceeded in smOthering the fire. If he
had not done this, the house would have
been envelOped in flames in a little
while. No alarm was rung. The fire
was confined TO one or two rooms in
which considerable damage was done.
Carpets were ruined, furniture damag-
ed and the woodwork greatly charred.

with the showing which the team made
against Rutland yesterday. They
batted strongly, played an errorless
game in the field and showed the re-
suits OF hard practice in the team
work, which was especially good The
score, S to 0, does not give an idea
Of the closeness of the game, as at
least 1 Of the runs We're the result Of
chances taken on the bases which in

Of the association or certificates there
for issued TO any one; and on the eve
ming Of April 6. 1899 before action
toward the election of officers, the sub
scription list for shares were open, ana
subscriptions TO the number Of 80 were
taken; that "a Of the subscribers Of that
evening paid for their shares s25 each
and certificates therefor were issued;
that the members of the association
thus qualified did not hold burial lois
or certificates of the same.
1 find also that the trustees voted on
March u, 1899, to open a subscription
list for shares TO be taken in stock of
the association. I find that after the
issue of such certificates and payment
for the same on the evening OF April 3,
1899, the members Of the association,
thus qualified. and five Of the original
associates elected the new trustees who
have instituted this suit.
1 rule, as a matter Of law, that notice
was required of the regular meetings,
and that the contract set forth with
reference TO the removal of bodies al
legged to have been made by the trus-
tees, the defendants, and Coughlin &
Cooney has not been executed under
proper authority; that if thus executed
it is an illegal contract and contrary 10
the laws of the commonwealth and
public policy and that such contract is
intended to carry out the purposes not
warranted by the statute Of 1895.
Let perpetual injunction issue as
prayed for in the bill.
There seems to be no place for John
W. Mccartney except a foul cell in the
police station, which is exactly no place
at all for him, considering his unfor-
tunate condition. Mccartney is suffer-
ing with delirium tremens. and is in a
very bad way. He is the man who was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Otf1cer
Michael F. Smith with a stick Of dyna-
mite a foot long in one Of his pockets.
Mccartney was to have had hearing
before Judge c. c. Stone, in the dis
trict court, this morning. When the
officers went to take him from his cell,
they found him TaVing. He was not
however, dangerous, on account OF his
weakened condition.
Chief Bates sent for DR.. George L.
TObey. DR.. Tobey has given attention
TO Mccartney four times during the
day. This evening he is somewhat bet
ter. but Chief Bates fears he may die
in the police station. This is the only
place for him that can be found. The
hospital authorities viii not receive
him.
He cannot be taken to the almshouse,
because he is prisoner who cannot
furnish bail The authorities at the lu-
matte asylum in Worcester will not re-
ceive him. If he had been strong
enough to be tried this morning, and
could have been taken to the jail in
Fitchburg, he would be much better off
than here. They have facilities for
caring for men with delirium tremens
there Chief Bates communicated with
friends of Mccartney in Worcester this
morning. He has not heard from them
up to this evening.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 9. 1899.

Those stately old gentlemen compris
ing the beef court OF inquiry, were hard
ly to be expected to return any other
verdict than what they did. The in
quiry developed into the nature of a farce
long before it had concluded receiving
testimony One army officer in partic-
ular, pronounced stool pigeon of AL
gers, should never have been permitted
to sit as member of the board.
Throughout all his connection with the
inquiry, it appeared as if he was there
to defend Alger and not to secure the
truth. The verdict is much like the one
rendered in favor of Matt Quay. 1t
satisfies the legal aspect of the case, but
does not satisfy the minds of the peo
pie.

Union men are barred from work in
the mines of the Coeier e'Alenes and
it looks very much as if the miners them
selves are responsible for this edict OF
the government. The miners union in
that district contains some very bad
men. The governments intention is
not so much to break up the union, as it
is to rid that country OF desperate
class of men who have been congregat-
ing there To- years. Unionism was not
opposed so much, as was the principle
that man had no right to work where
he pleased union or no union. That
law of the miners union or any other
union, will never be begenernlly subscribed
to by the American peoi ln, which does
not permit man to work when. where
and how he pleases.

The board of aldermen cannot well
disregard the expressed wish of the peo-
Pile in regard to sewerage. 1t is all very
well to have n new water system, even
if the water is to be taken from the
Grand river, same as the old plant, but
even if the city DOS build a new water
plant this cannot save the people from
the i'll effects of the vile cess pool sys-
tenn. Water or no water by new plant
the city sooner or later must build a
sewerage plant. 1t is of vastly more i'm
.portance than new water plant, of
course we can not expect to convince a
few people that this is so, simply be-
cause the building of a sewage system
does not hold out the promise of lots of
patronage, yet it is of vital Importance
to the city.

The DeBeque Bugle is the name of
the paper which has taken the place of
the Weekly Record, which has been
published at that place for some little
time past The Bugle Publishing com
pany is the name of the proprietors of
the paper. No name stands at the head
of the editorial columns, but if we are
not mistaken we have recognized the
versatile pen of j. S. Swan, ex-game
warden. The paper shows up well on
its first issue and promises to do much
for DeBeque and vicinity. That sec
ton of the country needs good paper,
one not run simply to get passes on rail

and it will doubtless get it, if the Bugle

THIS QUEER OLD WORLD.


1t is queer how things go by contraries
here,
It's always too cold or too hot;
And the prizes we miss, you know, al
ways appear
To be better than those that we've
got
Its always too wet. or too dusty and dry,
And the land is too rough or too
fat
There's nothing that's perfect beneath
the blue sky,
Its pretty good world for all that.
Some people are born but to dig in the
soil,
Aad sweat for the bread that they
eat;
While some never learn the hard mean
ing of toll,
And live on the things that are sweet;
A few are too rich, and a lot are too poor,
And some are too lean or too fat
All, the hardships are many that men
must endure,
But
Its a pretty good world for all that.
The man who must think envies them
that must be
Ever pounding and digging for men,
And the man with the pick would be
happy if he
Might play with the brush or the
pen!
All things go by contraries here upon
earth.
Life is empty and sterile and fat;
Man begins to complain on the day of
his birth,
But
It's pretty good world for all that.

ANOTHER ROUTE
THROUGH SKYLAND
To Be Completed by June
the First.
500 HANDS AT WORK
EXTENDING THE OHIO RIVER
AND CHARLESTON.
TO CONNECT WITH 8 c's AT MARION
The Line is Now Being Laid Up Toe River
Gorge Through Yancey and Mitchell
Counties From Erwin,

Mr.. G. d. Ray, of huntsville, Yancey
county, who is in the city, said yester-
day that work ON the Ohio River and
Charleston Railway is going forward in
Yancey and Mitchell counties under
whip and spur.
1t is proposed to extend the road from
Erwin, Tennessee, about 10 miles across
the line from North Carolina, to Marion
where it will connect with dIhe old 3 C's
road The distance from Erwin to Ma
rion is about go miles.
AIT present the road bed has been grad
ed from Erwin across the line into North
Carolina, passing over a corner of Yam
cey county and into Mitchell Five hum
bred hands are now at work grading the
road through Toe river gorge. The road
will follow the valley of Toe river to
where lit unites with Came river and
thence UP that for Il distance and so on
to Marion.
The contractor told Mr.. Ray that he
was under contract to have the road COM
pleted by June the first 1900, but Thought
he would be able to finish it by the mid
die or last of April. Mr.. Ray says the
roar
The company which is building the
road is rapidly buying up and securing
options ON all the timber and mineral
lands along the proposed route. 1t bought
100000 trees during tine summer just
past and is eager for all the oak, chest
nut, lynnwood and buckeye trees it can
secure
There has been for years much talk
of building this link, but nothing ever
seemed to he dome about it. The re-
.moteness of the region where work is now
being pushed has led to little being said
of it i'm the press. The road will run
through some of the finest of our NOUN
taim lands and will be a potent factor
i'm the development of a section THAT mas
hitherto lacked transportation facilities.
The road when completed will consti-
tute q through line from the coal fields
to the sea and will be one Of the south's
most important lines of railway.
