Tarrytown Country House Destroyed

T0rrytOWn house destroyed
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The country
residence at Tarrytown of NJ. Rumsey
Miller, a lawyer of New York, has been
destroyed by fire. The place was one
of the handsomest in T%arrytown. The
fire is believed to have started in the
dining room from a defective electric
wire. When it was discovered by Hen
ry G. Miller, a son, it had gained such
Roadway that no N could wait to
dress or even take out clothing. All
that was saved from the building were
a few Jewels. Mr.. Miller is an invalid
from paralysis and was removed from
the house with the greatest difficulty.
Miss Louise Miller was on Tuesday
last married to Roger B. Williams of
Ithaca, and all her wedding presents
were in the house and were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at about 100000.

TRIED TO BLOW UP DAM.

Unknown Miscreants Would Have
Flooded Ohio Town.
St Mary's, o.. Aug. "a An attempt
has been made by unknown persons to
blow up the gates at the head of st.
Marv's reservoir with dynamite. For
tunately the charge Of dynamite was
not sufficiently large to destroy the
masonry or to displace the heavy gates.
There has been much i'll feeling
among the people living in the vicinity
Of the reservoir, owing TO the wide
spread belief that the banks Of the big
body of water are not safe, notwith-
standing that the state has spent large
sums Of money during the past year
in strengthening the earthworks.
Had the object of the miscreants
been attained the town of st. Mary's
and the adjacent valley would have
been swept BY most destructive food,
causing enormous loss of life and prop
erty.
The authorities are hard at work on
the case and hope shortly to appre-
bend the perpetrators Of the outrage
Bloodhounds are with those who are
searching for the dynamlters, but there
is no tangible clew on which TO work.
The reservoir Is the largest artificial
body Of water in the world. and as this
city is lower than the water there was
much excitement here.

Of which the following translation is
an example: do not drown yourself
here! Intended suicides are warned

Speaker Cannon and His Free Silver Re

The lovable lUncIe joe Cannon was
also unworthy Of himself when he rang
the changes, as he did for an hour
or more, over the claim that the Demo
cratic party had gone wrong on the
Silver Question and therefore ought to
be voted down.
If this were true it would prove that
Mr.. Cannon himself ought TO be retired
10 private lifewhieh would be seri-
Gus loss to our public seryice--because
few men in any party have been so
much and so thoroughly wrong on the
silver question as he has He was one
of BANDS original allies in the cause
Of free silver, voted in Congress for the
Bland Bill, voted to pass II over Hayes
veto, and In 1898, voted and fought
against the repeal Of the silver pur
chase law.
Better play fair, even on the stump,
Uncle Joe. The truth is both parties
have been wrong on the silver question,
II the free silver idea was wrong. The
Republican platform Of 1885, drafted
by Mckinley, denounced Grover Cleve-
land for his opposition to free silver,
and that Issue, which was worked to
the utmost in the West, elected Harri
son. Every line of law enacted in favor
Of silver for 80 years was Of Republican

One day he saw iii a newspaper that
certain munger who had been
bounded by dramatic authors because
he produced such poor plays and de-
cllned their very good ones had decided
TO offer prize Of $500 for a play, The
judges were not to be the regular dra-
masic readers. but representative lit
erary men and women Emery bundled
up his play and sent il TO the address
given
1t was three months after this and
the whereabouts Of the play were al
most forgotten when one day Emery
received notice that his play had won
the prize A check for $500 was In
closed, with d blank receipt and a note
stating that within two months the
play would be put on the stage.
The coming Of the play did not seem
to make much Of a stir in dramatic cir
cles. Hope saw an item in newspa-
per sneeringly referring TO the man
ayers prize plan as an advertising
dodge that would not pay. but she
burned the paper before her husband
saw it. At first Emery had great ex-
pectations for his play, but his wife.
fearing that he would be disappointed,
told him that she doubted II more than
the $500 received would come Of il.
But that was FOR them great deal
The night for the first performance
came. and tile next day Emery, who
had shrunl from being present at q
failure. eagerly seized a morning paper
as soon as II came up from the city.
His play was dismissed by the critic
in a few sneering lines He bought
other papers and found where there
were comments they were severe criti-
cisms, though one or two papers said
the audience was very kindly dis
posed one and gave the play proper
attention. IN the evening came letter
from the manager saying that he be-
lieved tile play would do fairly well
and might run perhaps thirty nights.
