BURGLARY AT RUSSELL.

A message from Russell this morn
ing announces that the Thompson
harness shop in the little village was
entered by burglars on last Saturday
evening. The men forced their way
into the front door of the store and
took everything of value that could be
found. The proprietor places his loss

no clue to the identity of the robbers,

WILL ASK FOR PARDON
But Many Prominent Lawyers Will
 Oppose the Petition.

Augusta. Me. Nov 22.-It is believed that the petition for the pardon of David l.. Stain and Oliver Cromwell. who are serving jail sentences for the murder of John Barron. the treasurer of the Dexter Savings bank, will be considered at the meeting of the gov ernor and council to be held next Mon- day. when the matter is scheduled to come up, on account of a great amount of other business.
 Until a few days ago it was con- sidered likely that there would be lit tie opposition to the petitioners. Re gently. however. there have been many indications of activity on the part of the state and now it is expected that the prosecution will present strong case in opposition to the pardon.
 Many prominent lawyers. including Hon Frederick H. Appleton of Ban gor, who was the county attorney at the time of the conviction. and Hon Orville D. Baker of Augusta, attorney general at the time, are mentioned as among those who will be heard on be. half of the state.

LAUGHING IN MERIDEN

The Meriden Record says that local militiamen laugh at the idea of re- electinS Timothy F. Callahan colonel of the Second regiment. They claim the line officers would not consider such a move. One reason is that if he was nominated he would not be ac- cepted by brigade officers. The New Haven Leader said last night: Cap tain Donovan is the senior captain of the Second regiment. and it was stat ed to-day that the majorship belongs to him by right of precedence. Cap tain Oscar l.. Bradley of Company I, Meriden. is next in order of seniority and is followed by Captain Reynolds of the Light Guard. this city Wheth- CT or not these officers will make an effort to get the berth of major is not known" Friends of Captain Bradley claim that he will not look for major ship until his time arrives. When he becomes senior captain he may consid- CT promotion. Lieutenant-Colonel Su- cher will undoubtedly succeed Colonel Callahan.

BONFIRE ON TRACK.
Bandits Hold Up the Cannonball
 Passenger Train.
ENGINE WENT THROUGH FIRE

Some Loose Ties Finally Caught the
 Pilot of Engine and Brought It to
 Standstill-Robbers Dynamite the
 Safe-Less Than $1,OOO Secured
 Posse Organized and Now in Pur-
 suit of Robbers, Who Are Thought
 to Be Amateurs
 St Louis. Nov 22.-News has been cecelved here of the holding up of the Iron Mountain CannonbaIl passenger tram, north bound. at Clifford, Ark, a lew miles this side of Malvern June ton.
 The hold-up occurred at 7:3O o'clock last evening and was participated in by half d dozen men.
 The bandits had built huge bonfire on the track, undoubtedly figuring that II would cause the engineer to bring the train to q Standstill. He however. scentlng an attempted robbery. opened the throttle and sought to push through the fiery obstruction.
 Several ties. of which the fire was made, caught in the pilot and soon brought the train to a stop Instantly three masked men ordered the engineer and driver to leave the engine at once Another rObber went on the side of the car. hailed the conductor, and or dered him to remain inside Each or der was Obeyed.
 While the four robbers were stand ing guard and occasionally firing a shot to frighten the passengers. their two accomplces entered the express car, and ordered Messenger Samuel R. Av- cry to ''step aside or get to the other corner"
 The large safe was charged five times with dynamite. each explosion making d terrific noise and tearing off portions of the car. A large hole was bored into the door of the safe, but an entrance could not be effected. The robbers finally announced that they had no more dynamite and then they gave ID the task of forcing open the door.
 Then. picking up the local express box and several packages. they ran to their horses. which had been hitched near by. and rode rapidly away.
 No attempt was made to disturb or molest the passengers. except for an occasional shot at an inquisitive per son who peered out of a car window.
 Messenger Avery was badly hurt about the head and face by flying splinters hurled about by the dynamite explosions. One side of his face was terribly lacerated. and several teeth were knocked out. He was sent to his home ill St Louis on the same train.
 The top and one side of the express car were shattered to splnters.
 The sheriff of Hot Springs county organized a posse and started at once in pursuit of the robbers. The train crew say the bandits are amateurs. as they went at their work in a bungling fashion. All wore heavy masks. The trainmen say the small box carried off by the robbers contained about $500.
 It is positively known that the rob- bers secured several sacks of silver containing S19O.

THE LEAGUE TROUBLE.
Fight Between the National and Amer.
 ican Injuring the Game.


 Washington, Nov 22.-The Post this morning says:
 President Nick Young. of the Nation al leag is somewhat confused by the latest expression of Ban Johnson, the American league magnate. MT John son has been talking good deal of
 late and in his latest pronunciamento l he takes the situation that the Ma
 tional league is preparing to fight the American league.
 | As a matter of fact'' said Mr Young, ''the National league has not | officially, or in any other way, con sidered the American league. The 1 league managers one and all have ] evineed the liveliest sympathy with | its plans and purposes and nothing | has been further from our minds thssn | the idea of opposing Mir Johnson and his associates. A fight might not greatly benefit us, but it certainly
 would put an end to the American league and greatly injure the game it. | self.
 MT Johnson seems to think we want the American league to be a minor | league and to sue us for protection. We have no such thought. We are will ing to recognize the American league as on an equality with us. We want no fights. The fight in 1890 cost S1 .500,000 and the fight in 1901 cost S100.O0O. Many of the peo- ple who lost the money have never re- covered from it. and the game itself has not regained it's previous popular ity.
 T hope to see the American league a success and the National league will do all it can to make it a success

POLITICAL TURMOIL.
Concerning the Election of Member
 of Canadian Parliament.

llle LlocllOU OF MenDoI
 of Canadian Parliament
 Charlottetown, P. E. l.. Nov 22-Al- though the elections for the Canadian parliament were held two weeks ago, this province is still in a political tur- moil, partly due to doubt concerning the election of member of the Cana dian parliament in the west division of Prince county as the result of the theft of a ballot box. After the elec- ton Edward Hackett (conservative) was declared elected by a majority of three votes. A recount requested by A. Mcclellan QiberaD was to have talk en place yesterday. but it was discoy- cred that one of the ballot boxes was missing. It appeared that twenty-sev- en ballot boxes were put aboard a train at Alberton, but one was stolen from the train while in transit. A search along the line disclosed the missing box beside the railroad track, but the ballots were gone. There is no clue to the persons who tempered with the box. and there is much spec ulation as to the outcome of the con- test for the seat. The government officials are conducting a rigorous in- vestigation.

THE IRON TRADE.
Healthy Activity and Plenty of Good
 Business.


 Cleveland, O.. Nov 22-The Iron Trade Review this week will say:
 One of the SureSt indications of the wave of prosperity that has been sweeping through the iron trade in the past three weeks is the general depreciation of nything like a boom. The stream of orders has been so steady from every quarter recently as to suggest the danger that last years excitement might be repeated. Strong as the situation is from every point of view it does not appear as yet that the mistakes of 1899 will be repeated. The time of year is against such repe- titions; producing capacity is ample for all probable needs and foreign iron markets are receding, so that the out flow of export steel is likely to be checked.
 ''The past week has given added evi- dence of healthy activity in all dis tricts and in all lines of production. After several weeks of comparative quiet, the steel rail market took on new life. Pittsburg and Chicago be- tween them booking 150,OO0 to 2OO, 900 tons of rails, including large order from the c. G. and Q. railroad of which Pittsburg secured 10000 tons It is probable that 750. 1000 tons of rails have now been booked for 1901 deliv- cry and it is known that large addi- tiOnal orders will be placed in the next few weeks"
