PINE MEADOW FIRE.
In Works of H. Chapin's Sons Com
 pany.

Pine Meadow, May 16.-Fire broke out about 4 o'clock yesterday after noon at the H. Chapin's Sons Com pany's works. Smoke was discovered issuing between the partition of the boiler house and machine shop. The company soon had two streams of wa ter on, but the smoke was so dense the seat of fire could not be located. The New Hartford fire department was called on for help and responded promptly. The fire made a stubborn resistance, but after an hours hard labor was gotten under control. The company cannot estimate tonight their loss, the damage being mostly to stock, which is covered by insurance. The New Hartford fire department de serves great credit for it's work.

RATS BREAK UP SCHOOL.

New York, May Lowing to an in- vasion of rats the Hoboken education- al authorities have announced their de- termination to close annex school No 3. Janitor Meehan caught 26 in one batch, after his traps had been set only two hours. So bold have the rats become that they scurry through the class rooms while school is in session, frightening the teachers and pupils. Where the rats come from seems to be a mystery. but the janitor says they are unusually large and fierce and have so far resisted all efforts to dislodge them

STATION BURGLARS.

and Use Hand Car.
 Nfiddletown, May 16.-Burglars yes ferday morning visited the stations a+ Portland and Cromwell on the Con solidated' railroad. The same visited both places, judging from the appear ances of the station The Portland station was probably visited first. Ad- mittance was gained by breaking iii a window on tile north side. The safe was blown open and about $20 secur- ed. The explosion was heard by. some . of the neighbors and they fix the hour at 2 o'clock. The noise sounded like the report of heavily loaded gun. This causes many to think that nitro glycerine was used and not dynamite. kThere was no attempt to break open the candy machines or the automatic telephone box. No express matter or tickets are missing
 It was about 8 o'clock when CIom- well people heard a slight explosion, and shortly after a team was driven rapidly through the town. When the station agent went to the depot he found his safe wrecked. Seventy-fye cents left in the safe the night before was gone Nothing else was missing. Later it was found that the section gang house had been broken open and hand ear was gone. The car was found half a mile south of the Wethers- field station, beside the tracks. They had gone by Rocky Hill without calling as it was getting light when they got there.

MISSION NOT A SUCCESS.

New York, May 16--premier Bond of Newfoundland started for home last night from Ottawa, says Times spe- cial. While nothing official is said, it would appear that his mission to Ot- tawa, with the object of inducing Can- ada to withdraw her objections to the Bond-Blaine convention, was not alto- gether a success. The feeling at Otta- wa is that it would be disastrous to Canadian fisheries to have the treaty go into effect. The Canadian view of the case will be submitted to MT Cham berlain, the imperial colonial secretary.

REMEDY MUST BE FOUND.
Senator Foraker in Favor of Better
Protection Against Anarchism.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. g. - Joseph b.
Foraker returned home Saturday morning
from New York and Washington. He first
heard the news of the attempted assassina-
ton at Charlottesville. In commenting on
the awful affair he said: 1T would have
been bad enough if the assassin had at
tempted the life of only Mckinley, but he
was not striking at the man so much as at
the President of the United States. Nc
Kinley's whole life has been without fault.
His official career has been exceptionally
pie and nothing gave him so much happi-
ness as to cause them happiness. This
ought to have been safe protection for
him while in their midst, and would have
been if the Anarchist were anything but
what he is. They are opposed TO all law
and order, and are ready to murder even
such a man as Mckinley if the notion oc-
ours to them. What the remedy Is cannot
be so easily stated, but it must be found

AVALANCHE OF MESSAGES.
They Are Pouring Into Buffalo from
All Parts of the World.

BUFFALO. Sept. S.-Either directly or
through the prime ministers every govern
ment in Europe has expressed its sympa-
thy. Not only did King Edward and En-
peror William cable direct in their own
names, but King Oscar of Sweden, the Sui
tan OF Turkey, President Loubet OF France.
and the King of Italy have sent personal
messages. These monarchs have not hes
itated to denounce in the strongest Ian
guage the deed of the assassin. The bulle-
tins concerning the Presidents condition
are being sent TO all these inquirers from
abroad. The messages Of sympathy from
all over the United States and all over the
world, in fact have overwhelmed Secretary
Cortelyou. Two more White House stenog-
raphers have been sent for, and on their
arrival, perhaps tomorrow, some or the
more important messages will be made
public. One OF the most touching messages
thus far received was from Madame La
bori, the wife Of Maitre Labor. who de-
Tended Dreyfus in his famous trial at
Rennes.
Following are the messages from King
Edward and Emperor William, the former
from <iel, the latter from Koenigsburg:
Am hOrrihed beyond words at that daS-
tardly attempt on your life. My best and
warmest good wishes and most earnest
hopes for your recovery.-EDWARD,R Rex.
Deeply distressed by the news OF the
dastardly attempt on your life. L express
to you how l and the whole Of the German
people feel for you and for the anguish
through which your country has to pass.
May the Lord grant you sure and speedy
recovery.-WI 1. r.

ing large numbers were in waiting, and
when the office opened at S o'clock they
rejoiced TO receive the news declaring Mr..
McKinley's condition to be more favorable
for recovery. The people are deeply af-
fected by the tragedy, and many express
sions of deep sympathy are heard. Bust
ness practically has been no object, the
main time OF the citizens being taken up in
discussing the tragedy and the hopeful ap-
pearance for the Presidents recovery.

Representative Crumpacker on the
Shooting of the President.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
VALPARAISO Ind, Sept. S.-Represent-
ative Crumpacker had the following TO
say relative to the attempt to assassinate
the President:
1.-The attempted assassination of the
President is a great shock TO the Nation
and a crime of the greatest magnitude
against civilization the world over. No
man in America has a kinder heart or a
warmer sympathy for humanity than
President Mckinley. He carried no feeling
of ill-will against any person and he was
unwilling TO believe that any being har-
bored malice against him. The assassin was
doubtless an Anarchist and that fact en-
hances the gravity of the crime. Radical
measures ought TO be taken TO eXtrpate,
sociations that inculcate doctrines for the
overthrow of government and order. They
breed crime and spawn criminals, and
there is no place for them in this country"
