What the Town Report shows.

The business matters OF the town OF
Randolph have been prudently managed
and its financial affairs carefully admins
tered the past year, as Is fully shown In
the forth coming report OF the sereral
tow o officers, now ready for distribution
10 tax payers.
The road commissioner has expended on
highways the past year S3,0s5.77, which is
about $40 less than expended last year,aud
his account tor personal services is 1915 10.
This year, 2l0 rods OF stone road and 300
rods OF gravel road have been built at
cost OF S6S5.
The cost OF supporting the poor of the
town the past year has been
p, 200, against 81 $50 last year. Some I'M
usual expenses have been necessary the
past year, as shown by the overseer's re-
port.
The current expenses OF the town have
been S7O6 .25, " hich is somew hat more than
last year, owing partly to tue manner OF
classifying the several accounts.
Tue bridge repairs the past year have
been only 1884 so, which is about slOO less
than year ago.
The sale OF liquor the mast year at the
agency is little over 800 in excess OF one
year ago, and the net profit to the town
is sii2 30 Much OF the liquor sold at the
Randolph agency goes to adjoining towns,
most OF which have no liquor agencies,
viz Brook6eld. Braintree, Granville,
Tunbridge and Bethel.
No other town in this state, 1t is be-
lieved, can make as good a showing IN
the collection OF taxes as Randolph. T.
X. Granger, our efficient tax collector,
has taken up his tax bill by making full
payment OF the town, highway aud school
taxes to the treasurer, as shown by the re-
port OF that officer.
The receipts from licenses of dogs for the
year are 500 40 and the damage paid out
is ga, leaving f225 40 net to the town.

poses for the year, summarized briefly az

WHOLESALE POISONING.
Four Are Dead and Three More Are
Dying.

fOHr Are Dead and Three More Are
Dying.
MARIETTA, O., Dec. 15.-As a. result
Of a mysterious case of poisoning at For
sythe mines near here, four persons are
dead, three are dying and two others
are seriously i'll.
The dead are:
ANDREW BARNICK,
MARY LAICHAK and
ANDY LITCHIE and a child, name not
given.
The coroner and physician went to
the place today and learned that all the
victims had died in great agony, suffer-
ing without a doubt from poison. A
post-mortem was held at once on the
bodies and the stomachs were secured
for analysis. Two other men are Serious
~ i'll all with the same symptoms as
Litchie IS and considered to ae in a dan
gerous condition. The people all lived
close to each other, and all were taken
sick last night, after having eaten snn-
per. There We're many signs that poison
had been placed in their food, but by
whom is yet to be demonstrated. Bar
'Atek, the dead man, was to have been
married on Monday to Rose Laiehak, a
sister of the dead woman.
Tonight telephone messages were re-
ceived from the Forsythe mines which
say three other men are in a critical con-
ditiQn and cannot live through the nieht
Miss Laichak is also in a serious co1di-
ton from the nervous shock caused bv
the loss Of her afilaneed husband, who
had home already secured and furnish
ed to go to housekeeping. She was una
Die to go to his bedside. although the last
reauest made by Barnick was for Miss
La1chak to come; that he wanted to
see her, and 1t is supposed he had sorne
kind Of a story TO tell that would dis
close the guilt of the person who Is re-
sponstble for the wholesale poisoning. 1t
is believed tonight that some one Jealous
OF the couple who were on the eve of
marriage committed the deed.

There are a number Of these, located at
Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, New Orleans. Chicago, Indianapolis
and other places where the spectacle Of
midnight mass" will thus be Witnessed.
'1t Is understood that the century's
close Will be marRed by extreme acts Of
devotion on the part of the Catholic
clergy everywhere, by reason of the
pope's desire that they specially signalize
the event. At Baltimore, Cardinal Glib
bons will conduct the commemora tive
rites, while his coadjutor, Bishop Alfred
Curtis, presides at another city church.
In Washington Archbishop Martinelli,
the papal delegate. has promised to of
fcfate as ceIebrant of midnight mass at

Work on the railway has been COM

Santa Clara to Santiago, and later II may
be extended to Baraeoa. expect that
1886 miles of the road WILL be open to traf-
flo In eighteen months. The object Of

'lTne right Of way has been cheerfully
accorded to us gratJAtously by the own
ers Of the property through which our
line passes, and the reports that there Is
local hostility against the road are un-
true. The, interests behind the Cuba
company are nearly all in New York.
No railway is connected with the scheme,
although railroad men as individuals are
interested. We are using native labor.
but all our material and rolling stock
our intention, also, TO import laboferS
from Spanish Galieta and the Canary
islands. They make excellent colontsts,
and they will be encouraged to settle on
