"The man who throws a vote for the
Prohibitionist candidates this fall,” re-
marks that sterling temperance paper,
the Windham County Transcript, “is help-
ing the grog shops.”
—It' is of interest to everybody, and
everyone should know that Cabinet pho-

There will be a meeting of the Pioneer
hook and ladder company at the truck
house this (Wednesday) evening for im-

Even the staid old Windh am County Tran
script, an advocate of prohibition for lo. these

man who votes for the prohibitionist candi-
dates this fall is “helping the grog shops."
Our democratic friend, Judge Perry, is

eral James B Celt, of Norwich, has been
nominated for something by the demo-.

The story of that Wisconsin railroad
accident is a horrible one. Few if any
lives were lost by the collision. .But the
cars instantly took fire and burned with a
ficrceness _and,rapidity for which their
construction and the immense amount of
pile and varnish used on them admirably
prepare them. “Nearly all the persons
who perished were burned to death,” says
the dispatch. In one car all the passen-
gem with four exceptions were burned
alive. Read these details from one of the
special dispatches telling the story of the
holocaust: .
' The people of the coach were waiting
death hemmed in and kept from escape
by the wreck. The fire spread so rapidly
and burned so fiercely that it was impos-
sible after the first few minutes to render
any aid in extricating them. The night
air was rent with the awful shrieks of the
dying sufferers, and the train hands and
passengers who had left the - sleeper after
the fulIextent of the accident was known
could do nothing but stand back out of
the range of the deadly heat and know
that all in the burning coach must die.
The victims struggling in the wreck
could be plainly seen by the light of the
flames. One woman, large and storitly
built, couldbc seen making frantic efforts
to free herself from the broken timbers
that held her to the floor of the car. She
was unsuccessful, and her {struggles and

tor Business.
Since the close of the oyster season of
1885-6 there must have been a convention
of the different species of that delicious
bivalve at which resolutions were passed
calling for a better condition of the fami-
ly, for the oysters opened this year are in
splendid condition, and each one, as it is
placed upon the bar in its pearLtinted
shell, seems to be proud of itself. Oyster
dealers say they do not remember when
the season opened so finely. The oysters
are large, full,'firm and sweet, and even
at this early stage of the season they are
found to open better than they did at
any time during the entire season of last
year. The frequent ruins of the summer,
together with the extraordinary freshet
of last February, have brought about this
very desirable condition of the oysters,
and given the business an impetus that
augurs well for the whole season. Al-

causing it to gybe suddenly, aud‘when
the boom swung to starboard it struck the
shrouds with such force as to loosen the

was lifted from its place. It fell with a
crash to leeward, fortunately without in-
jury to either of the three persons on
board. The vessel thus made helpless
rolled and pitched in the trough of the sea,
shipping some water, but not enough to
damage cargo. The oyster steamer Mer-

Bartholdi’s Statue.
The Tribune gives the following descrip-
tion of the great statue dedicated with such
imposing ccremonials on Thursday last:—
The statue measures 151 feet and 1 inch
from the bottom of the plinth to the top
of the torch flame, and stands in all 305
feet and 11 inches above low-water mark.
The fore-finger of the goddess’ right hand
is over seven feet long and over four feet
in circumference at the second joint.
The eye is two feet wide and the nose
more than three feet long. The total
weight of the statue is about twenty-five
hundred tons; it cost in making over a'
million of francs.
The Goddess of of Liberty is the largest
work of its kind that has ever been com-
pleted. The legendaryColossus of Rhodes
could not possibly have had the shape or
bigness attributed to it. The colossal
statue Arminius, in Bavaria, is about
ninety-four feet in height; that of St
Charles Borromeo on the shores of Lake
Maggiore, seventy five feet. The Virgin
of Pay comes next, fifty-two‘feet, and the
statue of Bavaria last,scarcely more than a
foot shorten All of them shrink out of
countenance beside the gigantic copper
figure on Bedlow's Island.

Philosophical.
Now that election is over, the wiseit
and most philosophical thing to do is to
subscribe for the GAZETTE, read its inter-
esting local and general news, be calm,
eat and sleep with punctuality, and be
thankful that there is so much to enjoy
in this great and glorious free country of
ours. In this way much sensible solace
will come even to our defeated candidates,
for it was not in the possibility of things
that both sides to our lively state election
contest, could win. Be cheerful, be pros-
perous and happy. Try to forget all the
asperities of the election, and above all
things subscribe for the good and. reliable
old Gazs'rrn.

and is sending out such dispatches as
this, clipped from the New York Sun of
Wednesday:
In every case where suspensions have
been made since congress adjourned good
reasons other than political - have been
found for the removal of the present post-
master, and these will be furnished to the
senate when the nomination is sent in.
There will at lerst be no disturbance of
men whose commissions will not expire
unless it is demanded by the necessities of
the case. No suspensions are being made
for purely political reasons.

A TALLAPOOSA OF OUR OWN.
The Steam Tus- Municipal Gota Repaired,
and Runs Into Another Steamer.
The steam tug Municipal of the Street
Cleaning Department is becoming as
dreadful to navigators as the Tallapoosa.
Two weeks ago she ran into the Conti-
ental iu the East river and did much
amagc. She was repaired and yesterday
she started out with a bright new coat of
paint, and smashed into the City of
Albany, 11 side—wheeler of the Norwalk
line.
The City of Albany left her pier at the
foot of Beekman street at 2} oclock, and
headed up stream. At Catherine streets.
ferryboat came from the New York slip.
Captain John Harvey, who was at the
wheel of the City of Albany says that he
whistled twice as a signal that he would
go astern of her. To do this he had 0
turn well in toward the New York shoe.
As he did so he saw the Municipal in the
middle of the river heading down stream.
She was also intending to pass under the
stern of the ferryboat. Capt. Harvey
whistled twice as a signal that he would
keep to the shore side. He received no
reply. He whistled twice again, got no
answer, and reversed his engines, but it
was too late, and the boats came together,
almost bows on. About eight feet of the
prow of the City of Albany, from the
deck to the water line was smashed in.
As she has water-tight bulkheads she did
not sink. Several feet of thc bulwarks of
the Municipal were torn away, but her
hull was not damaged.
Captain E. J. Sherwood and Pilot
Thomas P. Coffee were in her pilot house
at the time. Coffee jumped overboard
and swam around until picked up. The
City of Albany returned to he pier. Her
passengers were badly frightenod. She
had few on Ward.
The Municipal went to Canal street,
hitched on a tow of dumping boats, and
took them out to sea —Sim.

Miraculous Escape from Death-
A remarkable accident, particularly in
its results, occurred at Catskill on Friday.
Arthur Story was delivering a barrel of
flour at a house near the east end of the
bridge of the West Shore Railroad which
spans Catskill Creek. The house is built
near the brink of the rock, which has a
precipitous descent of more than 100 feet:
The horse took fright and backed sudden-
ly, and to thelindescribable horror of those
who witnessed the accident, disappeared
with its driver over the cliff. After falling
about half the distance the wagon was
caught b the limbs of a tree, the horse
hanging ead downward suspended in the
air. The driver, who had held on to the
wagon, now descended the tree, and the
horse, b its struggles, broke the harness
and, r0 ‘ng over several times, brought
up against the stump of another tree on a
narrow ledge of rock. It was brought
down with considerable diMculty when
further assistance was obtained. Beyond
some rather severecuts and bruises no
injurywas suffered by either man or beast.

That was a not insign ificant concession
on the part of the Protestant Episcopal
cenvention at Chicago, when it was resolv-
ed to permit a change in the Apostles’
creed from “He descended into hell," to
“He went into theplace of departed spirits.”
While this undoubtedly conforms more
nearly to the phraseology of the Greek
text from which it was derived, the great
mass of worshipers who weekly recite the
creed in Protestant churches have grown
up in belief that the human soul, after the
death of the body, passes at once to its
final dwelling-place, an abode either of
pure happiness or unmeasured woe. .The
admission by a great church council, in its
authorized confession of faith, bf the
possible existencdl of a transition state,
marksa change in the temper of theolog.'

What the New York Papers Say of the
Result. 9
New You, Nov. 8.—-The Times, Indepen-
dent Republicau, says: The latest forecast
given in our Washington dispatches as to the
next house of representatives is confirmed by
the returns so far received. The Democratic
majority is reduced from 43 to about 14.
This is brought about by a number
of changes on both sides. In New
York state, Burleigh, Rap, and Viele
and Spriggs, Dem, are defeated. In Penn-
sylvania two Republican districts and one
Democratic districtarechanged. In Massa-
chusetts Ranney. Bop, gives up his seat to
Morse, Dem, as does, probably Rico, Rep,
to John E. Russell, Dam, in both cases rev-
enue reformers being chosen. If. C. Lodge
has defeated Mr. Levering, but Mr. Bur-
nett, revenue reformer, gives F. D.
Ely, Rep, a hard fight and may have
beaten him. In Connecticut Vance, a Dem-
ocratic protectionist, has defeated Buck,
Rep, and F. Miles, Rep, has defeated

“The World's" Observation.
Nuw Yoax, Nov. 8.—The World, Demo-
cratic, says: The elections contribute some
lemons from which the president may, if he
will, learn wisdom. For nearly two years he
has conducted.his administration with a
the Republicans. His civil service pol-
icy has been - shaped more with the
idea of mollifying Republicans than of
satisfying Democrats. His financial policy
has been a continuation of that of the Repub-
licans and adapted to please the "business
men” of Wall street. What: has been the
result! In the most important municipal
election ever held in this city, in which party
politics was in no way involved, the Repub-
lican managers refused to accept a candidate ~
whose name is a synonym for
service, 0 and thrust

he wore. And this in obs face of what they
as a menace to the peace and
prosperity of the city, and of their own re-
peated protestations that politics should not
enter into the local elections. In other
words, the Republicans, with their Mug-
wump contingent repressuted by the able
and astute Times, will take all they can get
from a Democratic administration and give
nothin in return. If they will stick to their
party etich in a city election, wherein only
public and business questions are involved,
what can be expected of them when the stake,
to their mind, is the spoils of the nation?

“New York Tribunol"
Nuw Your, Nov. 8.-— . Tribune. straight
Republican, says: The of the people
on Preddent Cleveland's administration and
nequ two ygars of government by the
Democratic party is distinctly unfavorable.
President Cleveland came in with a majority
of over forty members ‘of the house to sue-
tain him, with 43,000 majority in his favor in
this city, about 4,000 in NewJersey, and
with a pl' ty in Connecticut. After
two years, the election of a Democratic
mayor in this. city is made pOII'ble only by
the votes of mistaken Republicans; New ork
state has probably given a plurality of its
votes to the state ticket posed to the
national administration; De 'ocratic mam-
bersof congress have been beaten in such
numbers that it is uncertain whether
the Republican have not a majority
in the house; the election of b-
lican senators is assured in New ork,
in Connecticut and apparently in New
Jersey, and the large Democratic majority
in NewJersoy is as, reduced thatit is int-
pomible yet to say' whether the state has not
chosen a Republican governor. In this
on, just where the Democratic victory in
1 was secured, that party has a
substantial defeat.
The scanty intelligence from the west is
not more favorable. Remarkable Repub-
lican in Ohio bear out the expect»
tions of those who looked for a of

.Carlialo is beaten in _ own town‘by
a heavy majority, though he retains
hisseat. Frank Hurd, the free trader, is
beaten in Toledo, and if expected

aswell as in Ohio, the large Democrath
majority in house is extinguished, even
though the , ubllcans maylackavote or
tvyo of the number required to organize that
body. . .
