Every farm around Trenton became as
valuable as gold mine. Land specu-

building lots. New Jersey strengthened
her position, and in November, 1881
congress met at Trenton and 100000

buildings, and the ordinance passed
provided that district should be laid
out on the Delaware river, near the
lower fall. for federal house of con
houses for the president and secretary
of foreign affairs. war and marine and
treasury. Three commissioners were
appointed to proceed under the act and
start the capital. They were Philip
Schuyler of New York, Philemon Dick
inson of Trenton and Robert Morris,
the great financier. living opposite
Trenton. Washington was forced to
take sides with the south. and In an
open letter to Richard Henry Lee, then
the president of congress, he said that
the Trenton location was not a good
one. Washington's letter had the eff

and caused Washington much distress.

Capitol

1t is not generally known that Tren-
ton, N. j., besides being the temporary
capital of the United States for some
time, was the site selected for the per-
manent national reservation and cap
ital. The selection of the site precipi-
tated the first sectional fight this coun-
try ever experienced and divided the
patriots in congress. During the revo-
lutlonary war congress and the United
States government were living noma-
dlc existence, wandering from place to
place to keep out of the way OF the
pursuing redcoats. They kept in New
Jersey because it was between New
York and Philadelphia, and consider
able of the time was spent in Trenton,
mere were few small taverns, but
the residents were hospitable and
placed their homes at the disposal of
tne members of the homeless govern
ment. The Blazing Star" was the
swell hostelry Of the little capital city
ana mere congress did its business.
FINALLY the people began to clamor for
congress to become stationary and get
on permanent business basis In
June, 1888, congress announced that it
would open bids for location and
would settle down to housekeeping in
the state that would offer the best ad
vantage. The New Jersey legislature
declared by resolution that the state
"oulo cede a reservation twenty miles
square to the national government and
put up a subsidy of $4,000 in specie

not go above the Mason and Dixon line
Ihe New England states aud New York
stood by New Jersey in the claim for
the national capital. PENNSYLVANIA was
divided, the lower part standing by the
southern states. In October, 1888, Mr.,
Gerry, of Massachusetts,, of gerryman-
der fame, moved in congress that the
building for the use of congress be
erected on the banks of tho Delaware
river, near Trenton, or on the Poto-
mac. near Georgetown. This was done
to force the issue. but the Georgetown
clause was stricken olt, and the bill
amended SO as to red near the falls

no ABOLISH PASSES.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 - Sweeping
measures on the question OF passes
were adopted at meeting Of railroad
presidents, when it was unanimously
decided to abolieh all transportation ia
vors and interchange OF courlesies be.
tween railroad officials and completely
eradicate the pass system. Practically
all the railroads of the country, except
those of the southwest will be affected.
A committee representing railroads
in the Western Passenger Association,
the Central Traffic Association and the
Trunk Line Association was appointed
more than year ago TO study the pass
question, and at meeting of the rail-
road presidents today the report was
read. 1t recommended that the system
be abolished. No time was lost by the
presidents and traffic managers in
adopting unanimously resolution to
carry out the recommendation
The railroad presidents believe they
can do away with the pass system COM
pletely. Heretofore all railroad Off
Gals, from the presidents down TO the
travelling freight agent, were able to
obtain annual free tickets over all roads
to which request was sent.

RANSOM FUND.

BOSTON, Oct. 9.-Kidder, Peabody &
Co. have collected $50 ,574.61 in money
aud pledges for the ransom of Miss
Some. The rush of contributions is
over, because of the general opinion
that the critical moment has been
averted and that months time offers
ample opportunity to add to the fund
Mr.. Charles A. Stone, brother of the
captive missionary hopes that the cable
dispatches indicating that the brigauds
have granted months time are right,
although he has no personal confirm
alton of that fact.
LONDON, Oct. S.-The Daily Mail
has received the following dispatch
from its Vienna correspondent: "In
reply to telegram l addressed to him
today, Gen. Zontschew, president of
the Macedonian committee, denies that
the committee had any hand in the
abduction of Miss Stone" He adds:
"The committee desires the support of
the civilized world for the Macedonian
cause and, therefore, would not commit
such folly. The Turks did the deed
and Turkey must be made responsible. !"
Mr.. Danew, the Bulgarian foreign
minister, Indignantly denies the sug-
gestion that the Bulgarian governme Mt
is not doing its best to rescue Miss
Stone. He says three thousand troops
are engagt in the search for her.

sionary who was kidnapped. They are To-

on which the brigands are located is
near Dubuitza, about forty miles south

ping band. The Bulgarian govern

PUDDINGS AND SAUCES.
by Mrs. Barbara Sadler.

We are now approaching the time of
the year when a good pudding is appre-
ciatcd by ALL | have one or two excep-
tionally good recipes in this particular
branch Of cookery that | want you all
to give a trial. They are not only rich
but are free from all objection, as no
wines or liquors are required in their
composition.
The first you may try now, and then
| am sure it will grace your table on
Christmas day. 1t is made as follows:
The ingredients arc-one-half pound
beef suet. one pound blanched almonds,
one orange, onc-half pound figs, three
eggs, one cup of moasses, two pounds
of raisinS one-quartcr of n pound of
grated chocolate, one lemon, one table
spoonful of cinnamon, three and one
half cupfuls of flour, one cup of boiling
water, one pound of currants, one
quarter of Il pound of citron, one pound
of dates, one teaspoonful of cloves, two
teaSpooufuls of baking powder one-half
cup of sugar. Remove the fibre from
the suet and chop fine; pour the boiling
water over it. Then add the rasins,
chopped and seeded; the almonds,
blanchcd and chopped very fine, and the
chopped figs and dates Slice the cltron
into small pieces and add to the mix
ture Then add the grated chocolate,
the juice and grated rind of both the
orange and lemon, the beaten yolks of
the eggs, and the currants, dredged with
flour Stir n scant half teaspoonful of
soda into the molaSscs and add tins
next. Last add the sugar. baking pow
der. flour and spices sifted together, and
then fold in the beaten whites of the
eggs Butter, then -four pudding mold.
Pour the pudding into it and cover
tightly Put the mold in kettle of
boiling water and boil four hours. Have
the tea kettle on the stove with plenty of
boiling water, as it spells the pudding to
allow it to stop boiling. When done
turn into a baking pan and allow 1t to
brown in the oven fifteen minutes. If
kept in a cool place, where it is dry,
this pudding will keep well for a long
time. only needing to be heated up to be
ready for the table.
A good sauce for the above is made as
follows: One pint Of boiling water. one
half cup of sugar, juice and grated rind
of two lemons, one tablespoonful OF
-four. Beat the yolks of the eggs, the
-four, sugar and lemon juice together,
and beat into the boiling water, COOK
three minutes stirring all the time to
prevent sticking. Just before sending to
the table add the whites of the eggs,
beaten stiff and one tablespoonful of
butter.
Another pudding that l have found
desirable is called Scotch currant pud-
ding: Into two quarts of flour put one
cup of beef suet, cut fine; one and one
half cups of sugar, four tablespoonfuls
of molasses, two cups of chopped rals-
ms. two cups of currants, two teaspoon

BOIEER EXPLOSION.

ERIE, Pa, Oct. 10.-A large boiler
in the pIass foundry of the Hayes Man
ufacturing company on West Eleventh
street exploded last evening with ter
rife force and completely demolished
the three story brick building back of
the Liebel house, which fronts on
State street. There was another three
story brick building connected with the
hotel by covered passageway across
the alley. The first floor of this build
ing was used as store room, the Sec
ond for sleeping rooms for some OF the
girls and an ironing room, and the
third floor as the hotel kitchen, the COW
cred passageway leading directly to the
dining room which is on the second
floor of the hotel. This hotel annex
was also completely demolished, moth
ing but a portion of the sidewall re-
naming.
AT the time of the explosion supper
was being served. Six girls were in
the kitchen and were carried down in
the wreck. A general fire alarm was
sent in and in very few moments the
entire fire department was at work ex.
tinguishing the flames which started
and rescuing the injured.
The hotel was badly injured by the
conclusion and all the windows were
wrecked, as were all the plate glass
windows in the stores in that vicinity.
The drift of the explosion passed
through the hotel bar room and that
part OF the hotel was completely wreck
ed. How any one escaped serious in
jury seems marvellous. The cause OF
the explosion is unknown. Damage to
the Hayes Manufacturing company and
to the hotel will be about $780, 900.

FALL HUNTING IN THE MAINE
WOODS.

The hunting season is now on and the
sportsmen have already commenced to mi
CRATE towards the inexhaustible woodlands
and forests OF Maine where game in abund-
ance can be found.
The reports this year state that deer are
more plentiful than ever before, and during
the close season hunters who had gone down
TO camp early 30 as to get line on their
whereabouts and be able to bag few deer
at the outset, were startled at the great
numbers which appeared to be everywhere.
From the Moosehead Lake country re-
ports are to the effect that the guides are
making ready for more sportsmen than ever
before, and scores OF moose have been seen
in that vicinity.
The country along the Penobscot River
and the Aroostook region are fairly alive
this year with deer, and this is also consid-
cred a remarkably good moose territory.
Although deer and moose are usually
enough to satisfy the appetite OF the aver
age sportsman, still they are by no means
the only kind Of game to be found In these
vast timberlands. Braces OF smaller game,
together with a plentiful supply OF part
ridge and quail have already been brought
into camp; and in that section which LEE
contiguous to the Dead River region aud
known as the Rangely region, the farmers
are very much troubled on account OF the
numerous depredations which have thii
year been made by bears on the orchards
and cornfelds. Bears are much more nu
merous this season than ever before, and Il
the sportsman who enjoys this excitinl
sport, this portion OF Maine is an espec
tally desirable spot.
