FertiIizinq Salt.

The Vermont Experiment Station
at Burlington weighed ten clusters
of grass from two plots of land lying
side by side. From the unsalted
plot the ten plants weighed Ia
grams, while from the plot which
had received 5000 pounds of salt
per acre, they weighed 26 grams or
nearly twice as much.
Speaking of its effectiveness in kill
ing Hawk Weed, or Paint Brush, the
experiment station bulletin says,
Most of the weed was killed by
the application of 1000 pounds per
acre. Every plant of it was killed
by the application of 5000 pounds
per acre and the weight Of the grass
was nearly doubled"
FERTILIzING SALT can be obtained
of c S. Page, Hyde Park, VT, at
$500 per ton in carload lots, and
$3.50 in less than carload lots put
up in cheap 100-lb. sacks-no charge
for sacks. At this price the Salt is
delivered on board the cars at Hyde
Park. Low, special freight rates
have been arranged to all points on
the St. ]. & L. c. and Boston &
Mainerailroadsin NorthernVermont.

VANDALISM AT PRINCETON
ONE OF THE BIG BRONZE LIONS
BEHEADED.

They Guard the Entrance of Historic
Nassau Hall-Presented by President t
Wilson's Ciass-A Crowd of Young
Aiumni and Upper classmen Guilty
Gymnasium Damaged Also.
Princeton, March 15.-One of the big
bronze lions which guard the entrance
of historic Nassau hall was so badly
disfgured last night by a crowd of
young alumni and upper classmen that
it cannot be, satisfactorily repaired.
The contingent of students and grad
yates gathered together on the steps at
late hour to sing their class songs
and engage in little celebration. Dur
ing the jollifcation one of the big lions
was beheaded and otherwise mutilated,
the fragments being gathered up by the
university proctor this morning.
The lions were presented to the uni
versity by the class of 1879 of which
President Wilson is a, member. The
undergraduates are highly indignant
over the affair.
An act of vandalism was committed
on the new gymnasium last night, the
damage to a winding staircase being es
timated at 5000.

saunII on Havana Harbor Gives Them
Some Rescue Work.

Havana, March 15.-This afternoon
while Mr.. Moody and his party were
making an informal visit on shore, a
squall of great violence swept over the
harbor. 1t became as dark as night
and the wind and the downpour were
terrific. Commander Stoney of the DOL
phin realizing the peril to the small
boats in the harbor during such a
squall, called for volunteer rescuers.
The entire crew of the Dolphin respond
ed. Boats were instantly manned and
sent off. The launch returned with
four half drowned Cubans and the cap
tain's gig with another. The courage
and prompt action on the part of the
Americans are especially commended
as the ships of the British squadron,
which is at anchor here, did not rise
to the emergency, although one of the
capsized boats was much nearer to the
Ariadne than to the Dolphin. Secretary
Moody will tomorrow summon the
Dolphins crew and commend them for
their pluck and presence of mind.

JOB IN Ohio.

Wapakoneta, o., March t5.-A bold
robbery took place last night near Cri-
dersville, six miles north of here Four
teen masked men entered the house of
Mrs. Jacob Reischelderfer, an aged and
wealthy widow, and took possession.
With Mrs. Reischelderfer are living her
grand daughter, Blanche, aged twelve
years; George lanes and his wife and
their son, Joseph lanes, a young man.
Mrs. Reischelderfer was known to be
afraid to trust her money to the banks.
The robbers first knocked down the
elder lanes, and bound him and the
two women hand: and foot with ropes
and tied them to beds in separate
rooms. When Joseph lanes returned
from town the robbers seized and
bound him in the kitchen. AT the point
Of a shotgun they made the little girl
tell where the money was to be found.
They secured $1,000 in cash and $1,000
worth Of notes and securities from an
old chest and proceeded to ransack
the house. They took possession Of all
the jewelry and silverware and secured
a months wages from the elder lanes
pocket. They blindfolded all but the
little girl. After dividing the money

and the others stayed until 2 o'clock.

POLITICS CAUSED HIS DEATH.
Former Recorder Brown, of Pittsburg
Dies Suddenly.

- "a (
Pittsburg, March 15.--Recorded J. O.
Brown of this city, who rendered his
resignation to Governor Pennypacker
on Friday last, died suddenly this af-
ternoon.
The immediate cause of Recorder
Browns death was nervous collapse
superinduced, it is believed by the un-
usually perturbed condition Of politics
in the county.
Mr.. Brown was always delicate phys
ically and had to make frequent trips
away from home for his health, but his
death was entirely unexpected at this
time. He was fifty-seven years old.
The death of Mr.. Morse makes the
third of prominent spolitical leaders in
the county during the past two years.
The other two were Senator c. L. Magee
and George M. Won Bonnhorst. These
three men were practically in control Of
republican politics in Allegheny coun-
ty for twenty-five or thirty years.

4 MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
One Man Killed and Another Fatally

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 15.-Anthony
McEIugh a freight conductor on the
Lehigh Valley railroad, and James
Kearney were found in the main street
of Pittston early to-day bleeding from
gunshot wounds. Both men were on
their way to work when they were shot.
McHugh Gied shortly after being dis
covered. Kearney was taken to the
City hospital, where it was found that
he was shot near the heart and his re-
covery is doubtful. The shooting is a
mystery and the police are unable to
find any trace Of the murderers. The
suDposition is that the men received
their wounds from pistol shots fired by
a party of drunken men who were fight
ing near a saloon as McHugh and
Kearney approached. Both are we'll
known and respected men. McHugh
was forty years of age and leaves a wife
and two children. Kearney is twenty
seven years of age ard single.
