The Rev. Mr. Tiballs OF Connecticut
has begun his duties as pastor of the
Baptist church at South Londonderry.
Joseph Kidder of Coventry, who is
96 years old, went to the polls Septem'
Der 4th and cast his vote. There were
four aged men present whose ages COM

Two mild cases of diphtheria have
developed at the state industrial school
at Vergennes. The patients are boys
from the main building and they have
been quarantined in house recently
purchased and every possible means
are being taken to prevent the spread
of the disease.

implicated in the Newfane bank rob-
berry and who has served about two

mnu again III a rev minutes IN case o
ence necessary for the protection Of
Americans or quieting the situation.
President Palma stated again that he
would much prefer the men to stay
where they were. but in view of the
circumstances | felt unable to comply
Consequently, here we are aboard ship
again. We will remain right here
handy in case necessity arises of land
ing a second time"
The extra session Of congress called
by President Palma completed at one
sitting the business for which it was
summoned-namely. the granting to
President Palma of the fullest powers
not already constitutlonally possessed
war; including the right to appropriate
any public funds necessary for war
purposes and authorizing increases of
the rural guards to 10000 and the ar
tillery to 1000 men. This triples the
former force of rural guards and dou-
bles the artillery.
President Palma submitted a brief
message, principally devoted to deploi-
ing the conduct Of the opposition,
whom he charged with the responsible
ity of causing the rebellion. The mes
sage contained no recommendations
beyond suggestions that congress APP
prove all recent executive DEGREES and
take such steps as may be deemed ad-
visable for ending the war.
General Rodriguez, commander in
chief of the rural guards, now has en-
tire command of Havana He has pre-
pared his forces to meet an attack by
the rebels on Havana ut any moment
The worst sufferers by the revolt are
the railroads, which are completely tied
up, no trains leaving Havana. This is
particular hardship TO hundreds OF
country families who were coming to
the city for fear of attacks by the in
surgents Telegraphc communication
is almost as badly paralyzed.
Reports of the capture of Cienfuegos
are persistent, but the absence of tele-
graphic communication makes 1t i'm
possible to verify the rumors.

DOUBLE TRACK THE B. & N.
An Outlay Of 100000 Will Be Needed to
Complete the Work.

1t may be safely stated that within a
short time the Boston Il Maine Rail-
road Co. will have double track sys-
tenn between Troy and Hoosick juno
ton. For some time this project has
been in consideration, the present one
track line being somewhat OF handi
cap to the service which the Boston &
Maine Railroad Co. is DESTROYS of OBJ.
WAITING.
Already an estimate has been made
of the cost and it is said the improve
ment will require the expenditure Of
something like 800, 900. The laying
of double tracks will require much
cutting and filling along the line n nth
OF Troy, but the company is determin-
ed to carry out the work at any cost.
Today the service is excellent on the
road with this improvement the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad will be unsur-
passed by any line running into
Troy.

Thouahtful Man.

Once there was woman who sim
ply could not be happy unless she
moved to new house every spring
In time her husband, as is the way
OF men. became tired of this, and at
last he firmly said they would not
move again.
Whereat she made much moaning
and refused to be comforted.
Now. her husband, being by nature
a kind man, was anxious to comfort
her in some way.
So he took an AK and broke up par,
of the furniture, smashed five or six
of the best pictures and most expen
sive pieces of bric-a- brac, tore a few
holes in the costly rugs and shattered
some of the cut glass.
There" he said. I'VE get the gen
eral effect of moving without the an
noyance or unpleasantness of adjust
ing ourselves to a new neighborhood.
Thus we learn that what is Just as
good is sometimes really better.
