/^6 , *M HEW-IQBK. STATE HEWfl. ________ ' *- SUPERVISOR TBOMAS J. WELCH, of SyBa- c$se, has been fined $350 and sentenced to tJb Penitentiary for thirty days for contempt Of court. Welch is the man who took the Third Ward returns to Albany when he should have giyen them to tha inspectors for I correction. GOVERNOR -HILL received a gold watch and chain and pencil by express as a Christ- mas present fronTihe members of his mili- tary staff. y THE Land Board in Albany has refused the application of the Standard Oil Company for a grant of 'land under the waters of the East River in Long Island City for purposes of commerce. Two masked burgl_rsentered the residence of William W. Searle, at Lansingburg, and carried off $1000 worth of booty. Mrs, Searle saw the burglars and ran into her room, caught up a box of iewels containing several thousand dollars' worth of diamonds, and, opening a window, jumped sixteen feet to the ground, breaking her arm. This is the tenth burglary in Lansingburg within three weeks. AN unusual decision has been handed down in the Court of Appeals at Albany. It was in the action broughtrHijy Harshaw Scott against the Pennsylvania Raiiro'ad Company, to recover for personal injuries by being struck by a train. In the lower courts the judgment was for Scott. The Court of Appeals reverses this and sands the case back for a new trail. The opinion says : \Irrespective of the question of the defend- ant's negligence, we think that he (the plain- tiff) omitted to keep his eyes and ears prop- erty aiertj regard bettrg had to th9 dangers of the situation known to him.\ ABRAM \ ANDERBDRG, a West Troy mar ketmaD, committed suicide by shooting. Cause, business reverses. WILLIAM CAMPBELL, ap:ed sixty-three years, committed suicide at Frankfort. He recently recovered $7500 trom the New York Central Company for saver© injuries in- flicted in 1SSG. He used morphine to alle- viate pain, and was probably driven insane by the drug. JOHX A. DAVIS, ex-City Treasurer of Rochester, received from Governor Hill a special commutation of his santencj to Au- burn prison. Davis was received at the prison March 28. 1890, ou a five-years' sen- tence for embezzling $61,000 of the city funds of Rochester. The 'Governor com- muted the/sentence to one year, eight months, and tweifty-seven days. This made him a free man. PEOMINENT PEOPLE. DOM PEDRO died poor. RUSSELL SAGE now has a body guard.

THE late Duke of Devonshire, owned 193, GOO acres of English land, lying in fourteen counties. The rent roll of his estate amounts to $850,0(?0 per year. SIR EDWIN ARNOLD calls Edgar Allen Poo •'the Catullus oi American literature,\ and thinks ha should be better appreciated by the reading public than he is. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, editor of J7ar>- per's Weekly, lives on Staten Island, pre- ferring the semi-rural quiet there as oetter for literary wonc than the gayety of the town. W. N. PKTHICK, recently appointed man- aging director of the Chinese railways by Li Hung Chang, who is running China at pres- ent for the young Emperor, was formerly a citizen of New York. LIKUTKNANI FREMONT, United States Navy, sou of the great pathfinder, and Laiu- tenaut Lawrence, graudson of \Dont-give- up-theship 41 Lawrence, took lunch together the other day in New York City. A.

Peter McDonald, is totally blind, yet he is one of the most fluent debaters in the House of Commons. He is besides one of the most accomplished Greek scholars in the assembly. He does $. great deal of work out- side of his regular duties, and is a frequent contributor to the press. • ' '' How Steamers are Timed. The British .'Government kas a man stationed at Roche's Point who, is paid to record in a book the exact time tlae steamdrs pass the signal station, both in- ward and outward, bound.. Since the acute rivalry between the fleet ships of the White Star and Inmaa lines has sprung up. this man has been more than ordinarily careful in carrying oat his in- structions. In passing, Roche's Point the vessels go through a channel hardly three miles wide, and as a a general thing within an easy mile of the Government signal station. Since fast ships began to reckon their speed so carefully this signal officer has timed them from the moment they were exactly abeam of his station. The out- ward bound vessehrusualiy go past him at full speed. What becomes of them after that is of no concern to the signal man, says the Toledo (Ohio) Blade. He immediately telegraphs his record to the steamship agent at Queenstown, where it is forwarded to the main office at Liv. erpool. Both the Inman and.the White Star lines have a man of their own on Roche's Point to make observations and figures. Sometimes they differ. But if by any possible chance the question of a vessel' 0 actual time came up in a British court of law the Government signal man's figures would stand. In a similar way the official time on the other side is taken the' moment the vessel is abeam on Sandy Hook. The line is set by compass ana the tele- phone-does the rest. The moment of crossing is almost as clearly defined as in the case of the running horse on \Ehe~ track. Passengers on the transatlantic steamers date the time of their passage either from Land's End or from the time the vessel starts until she comes to anchor. The steamship companies do not take this into account at all in their official records. & They know the time, of course, that a vessel leaves Liverpool and of her ar- rival at Queenstown. But this is not considered in the record of her passage. The subsidized mail boats—the White Star and Cunard—usually anchor at Queenstown a mile or two inside of Roche's Point than do the Inman boats and other Atlantic liners which are not obliged to await the arrival of the Irish .mail at Queenstown except for a stray passenger or two. The mail boats are usually the last to get away from the harbor. Highest Dam. The highest dam in the world is being constructed by the Lake Hemet Company in the northern part of Los Angeles County, California. It is being built of blocks of grauit6~weighing\ from five to ten tons, set closely together in beds of Portland cement. It is 100 feet thick at the base and will tower 150 feet in the air.— Chicago Times. Morocco will spend $50,000 in show- ing manners, customs and products of that country at the Chicago Fair. There will be a full tribe of Berbers on exhi bition. Enormous Demand for Egfirs. An egg merchant, who goes from housa to house buying eggs, told u<? a Tew days since that he expecced to pay 50 cents a doz- en for eggs before Christmas. Many persons who keep hens will prob- ably not have an egg to sell when they reach \fifty cents. Some one may ask, \what can a*body do when the pesky old hens stop lay- ing, and the pullets retuse to begin until spring?\ Why! do as Wm. H. Yeomans, of Columbia, Conn., Editor of the Germantown Telegraph, did last winter. He says' \LaSb fall I made an experiment worth giving our readers. Untilaoout Dec. 1st, I was getting from twenty common hens, only one or two eggs a day,. 1 decided to try Sheridan's Condition Powder. I confess 1 had but lit- tle faith in its value to make hens lay. Com- menced feeding, and for nine days saw very little effect Then the hens began laying, and in three months laid 853 eggs. Part of the time the thermometer was 12 degrees beTow zero, and my hens-were laying a dojsen eggs a day, while my neighbors (who did not use the powder) were getting none. 1 now, without hesitation, believe it is a valuable aid to farmers for egg-production.\ Well might he believe, for nearly 72 dozen eggs, in three months, from twenty common hens, with eggs worth 50 cents, is worth having.
