A local option election for the Colon
ial Beach district has been called by
Judge Beale for April 30, and the many
residents of the beach are in fright over
it. If the town goes dry, outside of the
numbers of people whom it might hinder
from going there, the town would lose
about One-eighth of its present income.
Taking this into consideration, with
the loss of the licenses, etc,
there is the further curtailing of board
ing-house licenses. The town has no
industries from which to derive an in
come. Hitherto a large number OF
people have gone there to take summer
boarders, and the license, though small,
has helped to meet the town expenses.
Now, with the act recently passed at
Richmond abolishing all such licenses,
the town will be in a bad way financial

council the treasurer reported 81. II in

S,r,ters, Arraipned.

Waterbury, Conn, March 81. The
IS accused trolley strikers and residents
of this city who we're arrested yes
terday on the charge of assault with in
tent to murder conductor William Merna
and Mortorman George Morrisette, of
Waterville trolley car onl Feb. 26th last
and whose arrests are believed to have
an important bearing on the murder OF
policeman Paul Mendelssohn who was
shot down on car March Sth, were
arraigned in the city court today. After
some argument the cases of Edward 7.
Winnegar, formerly trolley conductor
and one of the strikers, was taken up
for trial. 1t will probably occupy all
day. The State had as a prominent
witness Detective Rogers, of the Pinker-
ton agency, who had with them the
confessions of six of the younger men
arrested on which evidence the arrests
we're brought about.
The prisoners pleaded not guilty. The
first witness, Conductor Merna, identi-
fed Winnegar positively as the leader Of
the gang of ten who assaulted him on the
night in question, and left him for dead
on the tracks.

The Cuban Treaty.

Washington, d: O., March Sf.-At
10 o'clock this morning in the diplo-
matte reception room of the State De-
partment Secretary Hay and Senior
Quesada exchanged notifications OF the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. In part the
exchanges were constructive. Secretary
Hay accepted the official statement OF
the Cuban government, conveyed through
Minister Quesada, that the treaty had
been ratified by the Cuban Congress
without amendment and in identical
form and that a certified copy is now
on its way between Havana and Wash
ingtOn. Only one copy, thai of this gov
eminent, was in evidence this morning
and it was signed by the representatives
of both governments. At the same time
stipulation was made that the Cuban
copy would be handed to the State De-
partment on arrival and similarly signed.
This procedure is not without precedent
and the ratification is automatically and
legally as valid as if the documents had
actually been exchanged. The treaty,
however, does not take effect until it is
approved by the House some time in
November when Congress shall have
been called in extra session. This will
be in advance Of the annual harvest OF
the sugar planters.

5000, 600 be raised for the college.
The Southern Seminary for girls,
located at Buena Vista, was especially
referred to. The school of correspon-
dence, in connection with the biblical
department of Vanderbilt University,
was brought to the attention of the con-
ference in the report, and the commit
tees of examination were urged to recog-
nize the work done by that school. After
a discussion by Revs. Collins Denny,
II. p. Hammil, Dr. J. A. Kern and
others on the affirmative, and J. w.
Duffy, F. j. Prettyman and others on
the negative, the recommendation of the
report was adopted.
