Yesterday Recorder Sinnott received a
letter from a Portland jewelry firm, in
quiring us to the license por day in this
city for a jewelry uuction. The recorder
responded promptly, and informed them
that according to the ordinance it was
$50 u day, and at rate there 'ib little dan
ger of any auctioneering in this line of
business. This ordinance was made to
keep out eucli people, and there is no
doubt that it will prove effective.
A lively runaway occurred this morn

In spite ot tho fact that nearly every
business house of prominence in the
city signed the petition to close their
places of business ut 0 p. m. during Jan
uary and February, some of the signers
are keeping open during the entire even
ing, probably to endeavor to get a little
trade that otherwise would not come to
them. It would be well if all closed at
the time agreed upon, else the other
stores will be forcod to keep open also,
and the petition amount to nothing.
At 10 :H5 today Theodore Durrant paid
tho death penalty for the murder of
Blanche Lamont. Half past 10 was tho

that he proclaimed his innocence until

Many af our townspeople took a great

The split in the ranks of the Republi

Everybody reads Thk Chronicle,
Armed wllh a Very Effective Weapon
for Defense.
The caterpillar of tho puss moth,
quite a common insect in this country,
has a most effective way of defending
himself, and may prove, as wo shall
presently see, dangerous even to hu
man beings, says a writer in Cham
bers' Journal. This well-protected cat
erpillar is provided between its head
and forelegs with a cleft, from which
it can protrude an organ capable of
squirting out a quantity of very acid
fluid to u "considerable distance, and
when ularmed it habitually makes uso
of this formidable weapon,.
In one of the entomological maga
zines a correspondent states thut ho
was observing some of these caterpil
lars in enptivity, when he happened
to disturb one, and it suddenly squirt
ed out a quantity of fluid iu u jet, whieh
struck one of his eyebnlls, though his
head at the time wns quite two feet
away from the insect. Ho rushed or?
iu great agony to a doctor, who told
him that the eyeball was in a very dan
gerous condition. His eye was totally
blind for hours after the occurrence,
and it was some days before he finally
recovered. What the effect of this fluid
must be upon smaller creatures we
leave our readers to imagine!
