TWO RURAL DELIVERY ROUTES TO BE
ESTABLISHED.

D. c., that the two proposed rural
mail delivery routes had been estab-
lished and the date of commencing
service had been placed at April l.
When this service begins the post
offices at WoOdville and East Kent
will be declared discontinued and the
mail route from WOOdville to Romford
ceases also. This causes some feeling
on the part of some of the patrons of
WOodville pOstoffice and a disinclina
tiOn to quietly submit to. the change,
but however hard it seems to give up
the little home postoffice we fear by
the advanced new ideas of the present
century they will have to submit to
the inevitable and be cOntented in re-
ceiving daily at their doors the mail,
instead of taking the usual walk and
staying awhile to gossip at the post
office.
WORKMAN OF NO MEAN ABILITY.
H. w. Beeman has just completed
the making of his third violin from
the choicest wood available. Part of
the material composing the same was
gotten out by his grandfather Harley
Beeman, for a gun stock 80 years ago
and the entire selection has been
made with the idea of procuring the
most melody by it's several parts. 1t
is an instrument so clear in sound that
it has been distinctly and clearly
heard above several others when used
together and when thoroughly var
niShed and complete, which your cor
respondent is told will take about two
years. Mr. Beeman will have an in
strument the like of which can hardly
be duplicated in the state. Mr. Bee
mans mechanism ranks among the
highest and this is among his highest
achievements, coupled with his fine
ear for instrumental music and most
pleasing renditions Of the same.

he has been the most troublesome of the

degree to the defeat of the administra'
tons plan for reciprocity with Cuba.

OIL FLEET.

Philadelphia, July Tt is authorita-
lively stated that the Standard Oil Com
pany will build in England fleet of
twelve. huge steamships, of the proper
tons of the Kennebec, now i'll this
port loading two million gallons of re-
fined oil in cases for China and Japan.
This undertaking, which involves the
expenditure of millions Of dollars, is
taken as an indication of the intention
of this corporation to fill the orders of
the Orient with Gil shipped in its own
vessels. Twelve craft like the Ken
n bee, calculating that each could make
two trips year, would be able to land
IS, 600, 600 gallons of oil in China and
Japan every twelve months. At one
time hundreds of sailing ships found
lucrative employment in the European
oil trade, carrying the product in barrels
at freight rarely under four shillings.
The Standard built tank ships, and now
absolutely controls the output of oil to
Europe. Philadelphia exports to
Europe and the Far East 300, 900, 900
to $50, 900, 900 gallons of oil annually
and upward of two-thirds of this amount
is now carried in ships owned and oper-
ated by the Standard Oil Company.
It's fleet of sailing ships for the Chinese
and japanese trade is also being in
creased rapidly.

AFFAIRS IN THE PHILIPPINES There
is at present little prospect of settlement
of the troubles with the Moros in Min

6.-The fire which began here on July
8, and which by the following day had
destroyed British military stores valued
at over 50, 500, 900, shows little signs of
abating, and is likely to burn for some
DAYS to come. The fire started at the
Netherlands pier and spread to adjoin-
ing property. In the event of change
of wind several other storage yards,
where many thousand feet of timber and
other goods are stored, will become in-
volved. The fire brigade is powerless to
obtain control of the flames, which,
towering to a great height, present a
grand appearance from the bay. The
bay is completely illuminated by the fire.

dead, thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty ruined, railroads tied up, traffic
suspended and thousands made homeless
by the terrible floods were caused by
devastating cloudburst in the vicinity of

of Saturday night and Sunday morning,
added to this mornings cloudburst, have
swollen rivers and creeks to an alarming
extent. At Arcade and in the surround
ing country the most damage was done

stroyed and the loss to that village will

are held up in almost every village in
western New York. The Genesee river
and Tonawanda and Buffalo creeks are
raging torrents. At Arcade in brief
period the rivers and streams were turn
ed into raging, uncomfortable masses OF
water. The water rose three feet in
twenty minutes. The flood is still at
danger point and thousands of men are
working to save lives and property. The
most damage is confined to the small
towns. 1t is impossible to estimate the
losses, but they will pass the million

terrified by the appearance of big
meteor, which flashed over the sky and
disappeared with kissing roar. The
phenomenon occurred shortly after
O'Clock yesterday morning and was
visible only to early risers, but these
were panic-stricken and communicated
their fears to the nervous ones in the
village. Those who saw the meteor say
it was ball of fire as large as a house
and its luminous trail seemed to brush
the tree tops. They could plainly hear
the hiss, and one man seeing the light
thought the house of Harvey Northrup
in the village was on fire and gave the
alarm. 1t was thought that the meteor
must have fallen in the neighborhood,
but so far no trace of it has been found.

that other customs employees received sums

paid for making impartial appraisemcnts'
not for under valuing or for defraudlng
