was almost as severe as the mem

was slight owing to there being but
little shipping in the harbor and the

most serious damage will result from
the delay In getting lighters afloat so
they can be used in discharging the

that they can not be repaired in time

ALL QUIET.

Colon, Dec 4.-The interior of the
country is almost entirely quiet. Only
a few scattered and insignificant in
surgent bands are here and there
waging guerilla warfare. This causes
the government no anxiety.
A peace commission has already
started for the interior to obtain an
interview with Generals Diaz and
Lugo and to induce them to give up
the struggle and return to Panama.
Senior Amador is empowered to grant
reasonable terms to General Diaz in the
name of the government. 1t is al
ready rumored, however, that Gener-
ais Eiaz and Lugo are about to sur
render.
Pananome, in the department of
Panama, and the port of Tumaco, in
the department of Cauca, are now the
only points under liberal control, and
it is not unreasonable to conclude that
the government will soon be victori-
Gus there. There is possibility of
further bloodshed in these places, but
General Adams recent successes seem
to make certain their capture.
The best element of the liberal par
ty in Panama say that they would pre-
fer the present conservative govern
ment than liberal government if the
latter is brought about by the liberal
General Porras, for, they assert,
Porras fights not for true liberalism,
but for purely selfish ends.
The guard of American marines,
which up to Tuesday has been sta
toned in front of the offices of the
railroad here, has been withdrawn. A
small detail of marines still accom-
panies the passenger trains across the
isthmus. Both ends of the isthmus
are quiet and orderly.
New York, Dec. 4.-The Panama
railroad steamer Finance arrived to-
day from Colon. The passengers say
that the Liberals captured the city by
simply firing rifles in the streets and
frightening the officials. Just be-
fore the Finance left, a train arrived
with two hundred marines. On the
front was an armored car flying the
stars and stripes.

BIG CONTRACT,

New York, Dec. 4-Sir Christopher
Furness, M. p, sailed for England on
Tuesday, taking with him signed con
tracts for the building of twelve
freight carrying steamers of from six
thousand to ten thousand dead weight
capacity, the capital, nearly 81, 600, 600,
to be furnished by Americans Be-
sides this he had also made arrange
ments with the Clergue interests at
Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, for the
erection of an immense ship building
plant to be located at Sault Ste. Marie,
close to the junction of the 800"
canal and Lake Superior. Here will
be erected steel works which will cost
approximately $40 600, 600, and the iron
and coal fields Of Canada will furnish
the raw material.
Before sailing Sir christopher said
that during the two months he had
spent in this country he had found
why the United States manufacturer
is crowding the British producer. Be.
cause he believes Canada is sure to
profit by the greatness of the United
States, he has chosen to locate his next
project there. The drawback of ice
in the st. Lawrence river would be
overcome by immense ice crushing
steamers which would be constructed.

WILL SUE RECEIVER.

Mrs. Francis Pearson Hallett of
Concord, Mass, will within few
days bring suit against Frank l..
Fish, receiver of the Farmers National
Bank of Vergennes, for $25, 900, the
amount said to have been furnished
by her to the defaulting cashier, D.
H. Lewis, when he was in sore straits
for money, before the bank failed,
last April. The suit will be brought
by her attorney, Hon. H. H. Powers
of Morrisville, on the charge that the
money was secured from her by false
pretences.
This will make another exciting
chapter in the history of the affairs of
the bank since the failure. The de-
positors have been paid two dividends
of twenty five per cent each, the last
payment being October /. The
probable cost of the suit, if brought
into court, will preclude the payment
of further dividends to depositors for
many months and possibly they will
get nothing more. Mrs. Hallett is
said to be worth 5000, O00 Her part in
the bank affairs was at the time Of
the failure said to be the loan of $25, =
600 to Cashier Lewis.

CURE SICK HEADACHE.
WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER,

BY order of the State Cattle Com
mission, seventy eight head of cattle,
which had been found to be affected
with tuberculosis by the tuberculin
test, were killed on Tuesday in South
Burlington by Dan O'Brien and a
force of assistants. About the same
number will be killed today. Last May
l18 cattle were killed at Williston,
and, with that exception, the slaugh-
ter of Tuesday and today will be the
largest ever made in the state. OF
the number killed yesterday not one
proved to be free from disease, the
stages varying from very light at
tacks to the most advanced forms
From outward appearances the cattle
looked perfectly healthy, but the sight
of the affected lungs was disgusting
revelation to those who had never be-
fore witnessed such scene.
The cattle were killed on land own
ed by Charles King, near the brick
school house on the Williston road.
Several animals have been killed
there before and preparations for the
killing were complete. The animals
were driven from the barn to the
Enclosure at the place of slaughter,
where they met with an unerring bull
let from A caliber rifle in the hands
of Charles Lothrop. The animals
never suffered moment, but fell in
their tracks and were soon taker
away, skinned, and the bodies buried
Most of the cattle killed on Tues
day were young and many of then
came from herds that had been TESTED
before. The opinion of the commits
sioners is that some of the cattle, a
least, became diseased by being fec
milk that came from creameries. Ii
one herd that has been tested, the ole
cattle and the yearlings were fount
to be in perfect health while the two
year-o lds were diseased. When the
two ar-olds were young they were
fed on milk that came from cream
cry, but later a separator was put il
at the farm and the yearlings wer'
fed on home milk. This case il
pointed to by the commissioners il
support of their theory.

THE RAILROAD MEETING.

About fifteen representative bust
ness men of the city were present at
the meeting held at the office of the
Union Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany on Wednesday evening, called
for the purpose of ascertaining the
sentiment toward pushing the scheme
of building the Newport, Hardwick
and Montpelier railroad.
Mayor Brown called the meeting to
order, after which it was thrown
open to discussion. e. H. Deavitt,
one of the incorporators, described III
detail the plans of the company.
There is now first class survey of
the route, made several years ago, by
the late Samuel Wells, when putting
thro gh the Eagle Ledge road was
contemplated.
AS prophesied few days ago by the
Journal, the Rutland and Montpelier
road and the Newport road were con.
sidered jointly by the meeting, as il
was the universal opinion of those pres.
ent that if an effort is to be made il
should not be to construct an indie.
pendent line, but to obtain, If possible,
from the management of the Canadian
Pacific and Delaware and Hudson
roads proposition whereby they will
run their trunk lines to Barre and
this city from Newport and Rutland,
if the towns through which the new
lines would pass would raise a certain
amount of money.
To this end, A. J. Sibley, j. M.
Boutwell, and Fred Blanchard were
appointed as a committee to invite
representative business men of Barre
to meet and confer with the business
men of this city in the same rooms
on next Tuesday evening for the pur.
pose of selecting joint committee
which will wait upon the man
agement of the roads named and
ascertain what they are willing tc
do. The whole scheme is at pres.
ent in an embryo stage, but there is
enough in it so that those present al
the meeting are enthusiastic to pull
every wire that will aid in bringing
it to pass.
1t is held that if these trunk lines
should be run to this city, it would
not only be the biggest thing fol
Montpelier and Barre from CONNER
cial standpoint, but would be the
means of converting now quiet ham
let's along the route into healthy feed
ers to the whole system. 1t is sale
| that but few are aware of the i'm
mense tonnage of freight that is ship
ped in and out of Barre and Mont
pelier in a year, and, if the figure
were given, they would be received
with incredulity by the larger part o
the people.
From the tenor of Wednesday even
ing's meeting it is evident the interes
in this scheme is of healthy order
and the best results are expected whel
the whole wheel is set in motion b,
Barre and Montpelier joining hands.

Mere purges and cathartics do but little

to restore to the stomach and liver their

cine, Calcura- Solvent, combination of
potent yet harmless drugs, discovered by

worked thirty years to solve the very prob

that Calcura-Solvent is not only "neao"
medicine but that is an original medicine.
