1 More business was done on the
St. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad during October and thus far
in November than ever before in the
history of the road during the same
time and season.
The St. Johnsbury hoodlum has
been at work on the observatory on

Prof. Chapman, teacher of elocu
tion at the academy, gives a reading
at the Free Baptist church Tuesday
eveniug nnder the auspices of the
Ladies' social circle. A very attrac
tive program has been arranged and a
good entertainment is assured.
Even the children imbibed the po
litical atmosphere of the campaign just
closed, and some of the smallest had
"views." One three-year-old of repub
lican proclivities who, by standing on
tip-toe managed to rub his nose against
the window sill, remarked on Thurs
day night while the preparations were
in progress for the illumination amid
the pouring raiu storm : "I dens Dod
is a deiuotwat."
A jolly company of all sizes and
ages enjoyed the entertainment by the
Girl's mission band, under the direc
tion of Mrs. George II. Cross, in the
North church parlors Tuesday even
ing. There was a successful sale of
fancy articles, some capital tableaux
aud a verj' social sociable.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Phineas Dantorth met at their resi
dence on Green street one evening last
week to assist in celebiating the .'39th
marriage anniversary of this worthy
couple. There were 40 or more pres
ent who brought with them substantial
evidence of regard iu the form of nu
merous gifts.
Two weeks ago the Caledonian re
ported the death of Miss Mary Garfield
of Bradford, who had been for some
time engaged in learning dressmaking
in this village, aud who weut home
sick with typhoid fever but a short
time before her death. Yesterday her
brother, George R. Gallield, aged 21,
died -at "lii's home in Bradford of the
same disease.
There was a regular cyclonic snow
squall Saturday and a regular delugic
rain fall Monday, but two or three de
lightful days of sunshine and moderate
temperature have managed to crawl
into the week, which people hereabouts
have thoroughly appreciated. For a
change a cold snap turned up this
week, the mercury dropped to three
degrees above yesterday morning.
Special poultry trains will run as
usual on the Passumpsic division and
Lake road, taking poultry for Man
chester, Nashua, Lawrence, Lowell and
Boston. On the former road the train
leaves Newport at 8 a. in., tomorrow
reaching St. Johnsbury at 11a. m.; on
the latter train leaves Swan ton tonight
at 11.15 reaching St. Johnsbury at D.35
i. m. tomorrow.
The enteitarnment given by St.
Margaret's guild Monday evening
though not largely attended on account
oi tne oaa weatner was one oi tne
pleasantest affairs of tho kind this sea
son. There were both vocal and in
strumental selections aud the tableaux
were equal to anything of the kind
ever presented in the village.
Among the names that have al
ready been "mentioned" as possible
candidates for the position of postmas
ter in St. Johnsbury are, Gen. II. K.
Ide, A. W. Simpson, Henry French, P.
J. Cowles, VV. W. Sprague. Aren't our
republican friends just a trifle hasty in
view of the fact that the present ad
ministration holds on quite a while
yet?
The selectmen went over to the
poor farm Monday to inspect the im
provements in progress there. The
new milk room and barn are completed
and the work has been well done.
Drains have been laid and other need
ed changes regarding the sanitary ar
rangements of the premises have been
made. The heating problem has not
yet been wholly worked out but is in
progress of being solved.
The presence of Inspector Whitte
more on the ground yesterday started
another post office flutter. Mr. Whitte
more had no business here whatever in
relation to the removal question, but
was inspecting the oflice, which, by
the way, he found in excellent shape.
No, Postmaster Bowman has not yet
received his orders for removing the
office to Railroad street, and business
is going on at the old stand as usual.
"From Uar-Room to Pulpit."
Rev. Sam Small of Atlanta, Ga.,
comes in the Y. M. C. A. course to
morrow evening and the journalist
evangelist will give in his autobiogra
phy one of the strongest temperance
talks ever heard in St. Johnsbury.
Mr. Small is a college graduate of wide
culture and travel, was for many
years an editor of the Atlanta Consti
tution and in 1878 represented our
country at the Paris exposition. The
story of his conversion and reforma
tion, as told by himself, abounds in
humor, pathos and thrilling adventure
aud has delighted thousands iu all the
large cities of this country.

Resignation of Rev. Ceo. II. Iialley.
Rev. George H. Bailey, rector of St.
Andrews Episcopal church in this
place, offered his resignation last even
ing, he having accepted a call to the
position of assistant rector at St.
Paul's church at Burlington. Mr. Bai
ley will remain here but two Sundays
more, his resignation taking effect the
second Sunday in Advent. He has
been with St. Andrews church about a
year, coming here from Rich ford in
December, 1887. He leaves St. Johns
bury because of no unpleasantness, for
he has the united support of his
church, but because the offer of a larger
salary at Burlington will enable him
to oetier care for las family.

cerely regret their departure, they send
with their best wishes hearty congrat
ulations to the St. Johnsbury colony in
Minneapolis that will bo thus happily
reinforced.
Used to the Business.
The candles used in illuminating the
residence of Dea. L. G. Spencer on
Summer street Thursday evening were
used to the business, inasmuch as they
were the same candles, or what was
left of tho candles, used in illumina
ting Dea. Spencer's house at the time
of Lee's surrender over 20 years .ago.
This accounts for the remarkably bril
liant .appearance of Summer street dur
ing the celebration.
Concerning Snow Rollers.
These quite frequent snow squalls
thus early in the season bring to mind
the vote of tho town at the annual
March meeting instructing the select
men to look into and consider the
matter of snow-rollers. The select
men have done some corresponding iu
relation to tho matter and will proba
bly give the rollers a trial this winter.
It is also understood that the village
trustees will try the experiment of
snow-roller paths in this village. It is
to be hoped that the business will not
be postponed too long. If snow rollers
are to be given a fair trial thev should
be ready for use with the first storm.

EIGHT YEARS IN PRISON.
Thomas
Ward lleeeivea Sentence. A
Review of the Case.
Thomas Ward of St. Johnsbury was
on Friday sentenced to a term of eight
years at hard labor in Windsor state
prison for arson. The sentence was
delivered by Chief Justice Iloyce, all
the judges concurring, though it is
said that some of them thought the
sentence should have been for a long
er time. When asked if he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be passed Mr. Ward .answered in the
negative, and heard the announcement
with no outward signs of feeling, save
that he paled a little under it. He
was taken at once to Windsor where
he is now working out his sentence.
Mr. Ward is G3 years old and will
consequently be 71 should he live un
til tlie expiration of his sentence. It
has been generally expected among
those who knew him and were familiar
with the case, that he would disappear
when tho time came for sentence to be
passed aud would forfeit his bail.' Un
doubtedly he has taken the wiser
course. His block on Railroad street
was mortgaged for $0000 to protect his
bondsmen, B. G. Howe and Sias Ran
dall. Iu addition to this the property
is attached for 10,000 to protect Har
vey Foster's suit for damages, which
comes iip for trial, by the way, iu the
December term of the county court.
Mr. Ward has some other property,
but by the time these claims were sat
isfied he would hardly be in good shape
to start in life again, especially as the
laws of the state are such that even af
ter forfeiting his bonds ho could be
seized at any time, if found, brought
into court and sentenced. Probably
he calculates that his chances of getting
sick and being pardoned out before the
expiration of his sentence, as has been
the case with so many others, are
worth considering.
It is so rarely that a man of means
is brought to justice for his misdemean
ors and this case has attracted so
much interest and attention during the
past three years, that a brief review of
the facts will be of interest:
Thomas Ward was arrested and had
a hearing before Magistrate Johnson
u February, 18SG, charged with burn-
ug Harvey Foster's baru in Walden,
Jan. 20, 188G. Previous to this Ward
uid become enamored of one Olivia
Amsdeu, an adopted daughter of Pos
er's, had threatened injury to Foster
n various ways, and, it was believed,
fired the barn out of revenge, because
Foster discouraged the girl's marrying
him. It appeared iu evidence that an
unsuccessful attempt was made just
four weeks previous to the fire to burn
this same barnr and that on that night
and also on the night when the barn
was destroyed, Ward took an all-night
drive and could not or did not satis
factorily account for his absence.
riiero were other circumstances tend
ing to fasten suspicion on him, that
were not explained away.
At the above hearing Ward was
bound up under $500 bonds. At the
Juue term of the county court he was
indicted for arson. At tho December
term he demurred to the indictment on
the ground of irregularity in empan-
nelling the grand jury. The demurrer
was over-ruled aud the case went to
the supreme court on that question in
Nov. 1 887. The supreme court affirm
ed the judgment of the lower court and
sent the case back for trial on its mer
its. At the December term of tho
county court in 1887 a jury trial was
held before Judge Veazey continuing
for over two weeks, the longest trial
iu the history of the court, resulting iu
verdict of guilty, the jury being
out about four hours. The case was
then passed on to the supreme term in
May 1888 and continued to the general
term this month, when all the judges
sat upon it, the decision of the lower
court was affirmed and the final sen
tence pronounced. The case was first
brought by States Attorney Montgom
ery and was conducted through from
cue oeginning oy n. u. ide, who was
At V V -W
assisted at the trial by Lawyer Prouty
of Newport. The defence was con
ducted by Bates & May, who were as
sisted at the trial by Judge Thompson
of Irasburg and lawyers Lam son and
iJiougeii. iriKen aitogetner it was
one of the most interesting and closely
contested cases in the history of Cale
donia county court.
A Birthday Party.
Miss Mary Jane Gentry, daughter of
Henry Gentry, celebrated her 15th
birthday anniversary Tuesday. In the
evening 15 of her schoolmates gathered
at her home, each - girl bringing a
present. Besides these she received a
pretty gold watch, the presentation
speech being made by Miss Clara

itors were served to a supper with the
customary birthday cake aud all had a
very merry time.

ST. JOHNSBURY CELEBRATES
The Election of Harrison and Morton.
What was intended to be a Caledo
nia county celebration of the republi
can victory took place here Thursday
evening. Preparations had been made
for one of tho most elaborate affairs of
the kind ever known in this county.
Word had been received that a mount
ed company would come from Dan
ville ; extra trains were to run in from
the surrounding country and pretty
nearly everybody, democrats and all,
showed a disposition to help along and
to make the jollification a grand suc
cess. But the clerk of the weather in
terfered. It rained all day and until
after the festivities were over in the
evening. . The program was carried
out, however, aud with remarkable
success considering the circumstances.
- At V o'clock, the appointed hour, the
torch-light procession was formed and
marched down North Main street and
thence to Railroad street and up East
ern avenue to Main street again. The
academy boys turned out iu very good
numbers, there were some enthusiastic
republicans iu the company, but the
small boy predominated. Some of the
transparancies were very good. The
republican bird was there, a regular
high stepper; Grover's pension vetoes
were noted, while he himself was pic
tured as the going and Gen. Harrison
as the coming man, in another scene
G rover was represented as fishing on
Memorial day with a patch ou his pan
taloons very like a portion of the Eng
lish flag, and there were various take
offs on Sackville-West, the old Roman,
etc., etc. Huge bon-fires were burned
ou Main street at the head of Easteru
avenue, on Railroad street and else
where. There was a generous display
of Roman caudles, rockets, bombs, etc.,
and Capt. G lis wold handled with
marked success the cannon that had
been brought over from Morrisville and
was stationed on Boy n ton hill, boom
ing forth the joy of the multitude at
regular intervals.
The illuminations, not dependent on
weather, were very fine. Nearly every
business house and store in town, as
well as the public buildings and resi
dences were ablaze with light. Fes
toons oi (Jniuese lanterns were sus
pended in front of the buildings and
pictures of the successful caudidates,
transparancies and mottoes were every
where to be seen. A noticeable fea
ture of these decorations was the fact
that some of the best displays were
made by democrats, who took their
defeat with great good nature, aud
showed a determination to make the
affair a success whether it celebrated
defeat or victory.
After the out door show was over a
fair number for so bad a night gather
ed in Music hall, where the St. Johns
bury band gave a fine concert under
tho direction of its efficient leader, W.
II. Ilerrick, and then Judge Smith
called to order, delivered a short but
pithy and tiniel3? address and intro
duced Congressman Grout, who con
sidered some of the live questions
growing out of the republican victory,
the events that had led up to it, the
responsibilities that it thrust upon the
party and the duty of all republicans
to the party and to the country. That
there would be a republican majority
in the House he was confident ; it
would be a barren victory without
that.
Captain II. C. Parsons of Natural
Bridge, Virginia, was the next speaker.
Though the hour was lato those were
well rewarded who remained to hear
an intelligent and exceedingly inter
esting account of many of the phases
of Virginia and West Virginia politics,
from one who has spent years in the
work of solving tho Southern problem
from a Southern standpoint. Captain
Parson's idea is that the next alliance
which is to control the politics of the
future and the destiny of the nation in
the South is between the Union and
the Confederate soldiers, who are
there, he maintains, joining hands in
the furtherance of such principles as
will tend not to build up the fortunes
of a class, but the fortunes of the state
and common people. His address was
most encouraging, especially for the
republicans who have been seeking,
praying and working to break up the
solid South.
During the evening capital songs
were rendered by the Glee club who
were responding to a vociferous encore
at II p. m. when the scribe retired.
Sixty-four of tho lo3'al citizens of the
place, including both sexes, met at the
St. Johnsbury house for a social inter
view, and at half-past seven Bat down
to a royal supper furnished for the oc
casion by Landlord Krogman. The
menu was unique as well as appetiz
ing, including all the substantial from
oysters on the "deep" shell to free
trade turkey with English sauce, a la
Sackville-West. The broken-South
down mutton was relishing, and the
successful -canvass back duck number
one. Those who voted early and often
amused themselves while waiting for
further "returns" by sampling the
Harrison pudding with Prohibition
sauce, election and Morton cake and
Rome Hoosier pie. The supper was in
every way an excellent one and well
sei ved.
Rev. Uriah Mavnaid of Rutland, who
has been in the Congregational ruin
istry for G5 years, celebrated his IMltl
birthday Saturday. He preaches oc
casionally now and is one of the most
remarkable and well-preserved clergy
men in the state. He was a graduate
of Middlebury college in 18I1J and of
Auuover theological seminary in l,
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Report or Progress. Location
of the
Lights.
The Thomson-Houston folks are
right on hand with their men and ma
terials, making ready for the introduc
tion of the new system of lights. The
documents sent up from the home of
fice were not fully satisfactory to the
board of village trustees and have not
been signed, so the business is uot fully
completed, but no doubt is expressed
as to the final and satisfactory conclu
sion of the whole matter as soon as the
home oflice can be reached. The
Thomson-Houston company is repre
sented by J. M. Filmore, who is
pushing ahead all arrangements for the
location of the poles, stringing of the
wires, etc.
Thirty-seven arc and five incandes
cent lights will be put in instead of
the 33 contracted for, the company be
lieving that the village cannot bo well
ighted short of that number, and
"throwing in" at their own expense the
extra four arc and the incandescent
ights for the first year, to show their
idea of how the village should be
ighted. Next year the old contract
holds for only 20 arc lights for the
$1300 appropriated and $70 for each
additional light as was stated last week.
The village trustees have located
the lights as nearly as is practicable.
When the actual work of putting up
the poles begins, the foliage, etc., in
liferent localities may necessitate
some changes. In some instances the
amps will be suspended over the
streets instead of being put upon poles.
Following are the locations of the arc
ights as at present fixed :
Railroad street: At the south end
near the house owned by D. K. Wako
field ; at tho junction of Eastern ave
nue on the Railroad Park corner ; head

Horse Breeders' Meeting.
There was a good attendance and
good interest at the Eastern Vermont
Horse Breeders' meeting at Newport
on Tuesday when these officers were
elected :
President. W. S. Bailey of East
Hardwick.
Vice president. F. C. Williams of
Coventry.
Secretary, E. H. Hoffman of Lyndon.
Treasurer, 0. II. Mossmauof Barton.
Executive committee, the above of
ficers and Georee II. Fitzeerald of
Island Pond, E. A. Parks and A. S

er of Coveutrv. J. A. Knowlton of
Newport, Julius Brighaiu of West
Concord. I. H. Hall of Lyndon, Ora
Drew of Danville, S. C. Kimball of Al
bany, Mitchell Hunt of North Troy,
G. II. Tice of West Holland.
It was voted to extend the limits of
the society by including Lamoille and
Orange counties iu Vermont, Coos
county in N. II., and Stanstead county
in P. Q., provided such counties should
desire to uuite. The place of the next
meetine: was left with the executive
committee. The Express says that the.
society would locate at Newport for a
term of five or ten years provided
grounds could bo fitted up for them
Would it not be worth while for St.
Johnsbury to offer some inducements
for the permanent location of the so
ciety here! To be sure they had hard
luck this fall, but the people would
certainly see to it that they were bet
ter supported another time.

MISS MARY HOWE'S FAREWELL
CONCERT.
On Tuesday evening the people of
Brattleboro gave Miss Mary Howe a
most cordial and enthusiastic greeting
at her last public appearance before
sailing for Europe. Every Beat in the
large hall was sold and some were dis
appointed in being unable to obtain a
it place. Miss Howe was assisted by
ier brother, Lucien Howe, accompa
nist and composer; Mrs. E. R. Pratt,
contralto, the friend and playmate of
ier girlhood days; Myron W. Whit
ney, the great basso, and the Beethov-
eu orchestra of Boston. Tlie program
was a varied one, but had no cheap or
trashy numbers. Miss Howe's first and
every appearauce during tho evening
was greeted with tho heartiest ap
plause, aud she shared with Mrs. Pratt
most elegant floral tributes. Miss
lowe's appearance on tho stage was
artless and natural, as might be ex
pected of tho sensible girl she is. If
any one present was under the impres
sion that she excelled as a singer only
n vocal gymnastics and brilliant lire-
works, that impression was thorough-
y dispelled when she rendered the
iiich-Gounod arrangeinont of "Ave
Maria" with an appreciation and pa
thos that thrilled the audience like an
electric shock.
By the arrangement of tho progiam
Miss Howe sang the last number. Iu
espouse to an encore which admitted
of no refusal, she re-appeared before
the footlights, and when the accompa
nist struck into "Sweet Home," the
iiudienco burst into enthusiastic ap
plause. This exceedingly warm rec
ognition and appreciation by an audi
euce of her townspeople was almost
too much for the singer's nerve, and it
was with evident effort she controlled
ier voice and began "'Mid pleasures
mil palaces." Before the first verse
was finished her eye caught sight of
ier weeping mother and 6ister iu the
audience and her emotions overcoming
ier she burst into tears and covering
her face with her hands left the stage.
The audience quietly withdrew from
the hall aud will have this final dra
matic scene to remember while the
chief actor is across the sea adding to
ier accomplish men ta and well-earned
fame.
riie other artists in this excellent
concert deserve especial mention, but
there is no space for further comment
at this late hour. One thing that im
pressed me was the warm appreciation

RECENT DEATHS.
Patterson. Fred Patterson, for six
years employed iu Fairbanks store and
previous to that employed for a time
at the Scale works, died at the home
of his parents at South Albany on Fri
lay after a month's illness of typhoid
fever, age 27. Mr. Patterson's busi
ness was such that it brought him into
relation with many people of the place,
and his circle of acquaintances and
frieuds was very large. When taken
sick and on leaving the store for his
old home he expressed his belief that
he would not recover and such proved
to be the case. His father and mother
as well as a sister are living. Funeral
services were held at South Albany
Monday. A number of elegant floral
tributes were sent from St. Johnsbury,
from the Masonic bodies of which he
was a member, from Hose Company
No. 4 to which he also belonged, from
the employees in the store, George W
Spencer's family, Col. Fairbanks and
others.
Academy Notes.
R. N. C. Barnes has returned to
school after a brief absence on account
of sickness. The following have been
appointed a committee of arrange
ments for the senior exhibition: Good
rich, Merrill, Misses Ely, Bugbee and
Baxter. The Thanksgiving recess will
begin this year Tuesday evening and
continue uutil the following Monday
morn inc. After this year the recess
will be limited to Thanksgiving day

CJreensboro and Caledonia County.
The general committees of the sen
ate aud house held a joint hearing last
week on the bill to set oil' the town o
Greensboro from Orleans to Caledonia
rounty. The Mont pclier Journal gives
this itMi t of the discussion :
Tlw bill was favored by Hiram A.
Hus, Esq., of Mont pel ier and opposed
by Litwycr Young of Newport. Wit
nesses wore present who testified in re
gard to (he condition of the roads lead
ing to Newport and St. Johusbury, the
county seats of the two counties, the
sunomit of business done by the people
f Greensboro at St. Johusbury aud
Newport and the wishes of the citizens
in regard to the matter. The support
ers of the measure claim that the road
to Newport is difficult to travel, that
St. Johnsbury is much more easy of ac
cess by railroad, that the majority of
the business of Greensboro is done at
the latter place and that the town
-would be better con ven ienced by hav
ing this place as its county seat rather
than Newport. The opponents of the
measure slate that the road to St.
Johnsbury may be a little shorter than
to Newport, but that it is hilly aud
(bitted in winter, and that for all busi
ness in the courts Greensboro is far
lietter accommodated in Orleans than
would be possible in Caledonia county.
A etilioii praying for the passage of
the bill has been placed in the hands
of the committee signed by one hun
dred eighty-eight voters of the town,
also a remonstrance signed by seventy
voters.
