TO 0STRACIZE CROKER.

London Newspaper Proposes to In
fiict Vengeance Upon the Tam
many Leader.
LONDON, May 15.-The express of
to-day advocates the ostracism OF Rich
ard Croker in England in revenge for
Tammany's attitude on the Boer war.
1t says:
1t has not escaped notice in this
country that an American welcome to
the Boer delegates has been inspired
and encouraged by Tammany Hall,
which is controlled by the notorious
boss, Richard Croker.
'The records of Tammany are al
ready black enough without the addi-
tiol of this new infamy. But what
makes the action of Tammany peculiar
ly Infamous now is the fact that Croker
claims the hospitality of an English
domicile, poses as an English country
gentleman and runs race horses 0n the
English turf, yet is aiding and epcour-
aging the worst of England's enemies. "

The GoebeIIte R.oord.

No outrage has been omitted by the Goe-
bel faction of which it could think. 1t
has unseated elected legislators in large
numbers until the two houses now com
prise many men whom the people defeated.
Elections are intended to prevent these
robberies of which they have been made
the cause in Kentucky. A conspiracy lack
ing the robust decency of revolution and
the courage of lawless violence has been
under way for weeks and weeks. 1t was
near the point of apparent final success,
when Goebel was shot down by some ex-
ponent of the passions which he had chal-
lenged, by some imitator of his own meth
DDS and those of his friends in the past
against their political adversaries. 1t is
impossible to be surprised by the attack
on him. 1t is affectation to wonder at IL.
1t is hypocrisy not to see dramatic retribu-
ton in it. 1t would be unmanly and un-
American to approve it, but indignation at
II can run to excess as easily as surprise at
itcan run into humbug.-[Brookl Eagle.

Plans for New Town Hall.

A Two-stOry Structure WIN he Erect
od---COmmitiee Appointed to Make a
Report at the Town Meeting In March.
The town meeting which was held at
Grand Army hall Saturday afternoon in
the interests of new town hall was at
tended by fully $50 voters. Moderator K.
J. Temple called the meeting TO order at
2.15 and explained the object. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of the fire and the
clearing away of the debris will not be less
than $1,000. Opinions we're freely express
ed as to the kind of building which would
best meet the requirements of the town.
A large majority advocated two story
building and fully as good as the one re-
Gently burned. However, a few were in
favor Of a one-story building so that the
auditorium would be on the ground floor,
but as majority rules two-story building
will be erected.
The arrangement of the rooms on the
ground floor called out spirited discussion,
some wanting the entire building to be de-
voted to public purposes, while others were
in favor of a store, as well as rooms for
town offices, public library and reading
room. A manifest desire is for horse
shoe gallery, with the entrance from the
ground floor. No doubt any defects in the
arrangements of the old hall will be RENE
died in the new. The tower will probably
be on a corner instead of in the centre of
the front as before The general opinion
is that there should be place for a steam
err on the ground floor, also that the height
of the new building could be lessened sew
eral feet without detriment to appearance or
utility.
The following named gentlemen were
made committee to secure plans and spe-
cificatons to present for consideration at
the annual town meeting in March, with
instructions to ascertain cost of making a
6re-proof building: F. w. Robertson, L

The passenger train on the Ashuelot
branch of the Boston & Maine due to leave
Keene at 2:45 o'clock was thrown from the
rails at or near the Emerald-street grade
crossing Monday afternoon, by jigger left
ON the track by Fitchburg employees, who
could not get it off in time. The engine
ran into an old boiler, and was thoroughly
disabled for the time, the pilot being de-
molished and other parts broken. The en-
zine landed some 10 feet from its own
track and the tender, milk car and combi-
nation car also left the rails. The train did
not leave Keene until o'clock. No one
was injured.
