vosky imprisoned hero on tbe charge of
murdering Hnd robbing a ponsaut near
Bielo.tock, hen revealed the prnctico o
wholesale inurdor ol oniigrants on tho fron
tier. Already tbe naked bodies of five victims
have been discovered in mow in the wood
adjacent to tho house occupied by the Koul
ikvosky's, who lived in the village ot Mnu
kid. There have been many disappearances
of Into iu tbut neighborhood and the police
estimate that the two brothers have mur
dered at least forty persons,
The elder brother was a peasant farmer,
The younger brother had been a soldier in
the Russian arm-, but his time had expired.
Ue took to smuggling across the frontier
md became acquainted with all the secret
paths thut led mto Prussian territory.;Mnny
persons desirous of leaving Russia, particu
larly emigrants, wore not supplied with the
necesunry passports. These persons would
bargain with tho Koullkvojkys for a sale
and tecret couduct beyond Russian soil.
Fugitives from justice also availed them
selves of KouLkvosky's knowledgo of tho
frontier to escape from the olliceis of the
law.
The brothers would select as their victims
only those who had good outfits and money.
The othors would be taken across the fron
tier iu safety. The victims Mould be taken
iu charge ot by tho younger brother, and
v ould bo conducted singly along a narrow
puth through a, dense foiest. The elder
brother would intercept them, tho victim
would be murdered and the body robbed.
The elder brother has a young wife and
she, it is charged, helped tho brothers in
their crimes. Sbo v. ould indulge iu flirta
tions with strangers who came to Monkld
and would make arrangements for them to
visit her at her home, bho is a comely,
buxom woman and admirers would hasten
at night to her house, only to most death at
the hands of the husband and his brother.
The woman has been arrested also.

lEujournoy uy train ot .Murderer Ueouiing
from Perth to this city, whence hois to ein-
baik for .Melbourne, was made notable by a
series of exciting scen?s. Wherever tho
train stopped the stations wore crowded
with people and frnutic rushes were made
for the trnin. Tho windows of the carriage
in which Deeniinz rode were broken as the
result of the attempts to lynch him. Tho
women were especially violent. Deeming
showed much alarm at every stop and a
corresponding relief when the train pro
ceeded. During tho journey ho had several faint
ng fits. His returns to consciousness were
marked by violent struggles, during which
it required four men to bold him. In con
sequence of these paroxisms, his wrists weio
terribly bruited and swollen and his hand
cuffs wore covered with blood.
His attendants think the fits were sham
med. Tho physicians disbelievo his state
ment that such fits ura duo to an injury to
his head received in Zululnnd. Ills confes
sion of "Jack the Hipper" crime in White
cbapel, is now regarded as mere boasting.

From the Bennington Banner.!
Our former towusmnn, C, F., Brecken
ridge.now Iu Minneapolis, Mlun , in writing
to have tho address of his Banner changed,
has this to Bay:
I will jive you an item about maplo sugar
that I heurd this morning. Vermont soems
to head the list, in everybody's esti-natlon,
as a maplo sugar producer. 1 hoar the
name Vermont mentioned oftener m connec
tion with tho sugar thun in any other. A
man who was iu my brother's store this
morning soiling genuine C) Vermont sugar
told him of a firm in tbis city that are said
tube manufacturing uu imitation. In tlioir
ellort to give it a little of tho genuine flavor
they are suid to boil a little of tho maple
wood in it.
I don't know whether or not any of that
grade of sugar is credited to Vermont, but
tha Green Mountain State has rc.isou to be
proud of its reputation for sugar, for when
people get cheated they do not blame Ver
mont with the deception, but they say of
tho inferior article: "That is not genuine;
it has been adulterated on the way,"

Through tha Southern Purt of tha

To the Kdltor ot the Free Press s
The governor question has been relegated
to the rear for a time until tho candidates
for delegates to tho district conventions can
bo solected. Hon. Levant ' M. Read has
been suggested aud no bottor could bo
found. His name will be brought before
tho convention unless other causes deter
mine the republicans of this town to do
differently. He would make an ideal man
to go to Minneapolis. Ibat Is all Rocking
ham wuuts iu that direction.
Springfield is not so easily satisfied, how-
over. She thinks Rockingham oughtn't to
grnsp everything and therefore reaches
forth for a place herself, nnd, as a candi
date proposes Hon. H. M. Arms, Spring
field's prominent farmer and candidate for
the farmer governorship.
Brattleboro us usual has any quantity of
candidates and oue of them them is Col.
Hooker, who holds so many oilices bo bus
to have them catalogued and numbered.
The Minneapolis delegates dUpused of it
remains for the towns to choose delegates
to the district convention to bo hold at
Montpelier tho same day. Of thoso thero
will bo plenty, but bo far no one has been
formally suggested as a possible candidate.
Tbe call to Rockingham voters will bo
isstiod this week. This town with a popula
tion of 4500 bus only six delegates, simply
because the voters did not got out to the
last oleatlon. Efforts will be minle to mus
ter the full strength of the party at tho
coming election of both governor and presi
dent. With reference to Mr. Atkins's visit, tho
story told in these columns before camo
straight from a democrat of the democrats,
and was not told lor publication especially.
It was told for the truth, however, and so
printed. Mr. Atkins denies It, poor malign
ed man. However, thore is some tiuth in
it, and Mr. Atkins knows what It is. The
Seer doesn't, having only the word of the
democart and Mr. Atkins. You are at lib
erty to choose between the two.
But a visit to a sister would naturally re
quire that Mr. Atkins should be driven
nbout town by tbe most prominent democrat
of Bellows Falls. It would uaturully require
tnat they should have Sunday oonfereucos
after church, and numerous other things
ought to occur to make a visit to u sulur
perfectly enjoyable. Then, too,' it would bo
perfectly natural for the democrat aforesaid
to say that he thought Moutpelier was the
host place to hild the convention for pre
cisely tho same reasons Mr. Atkins meutions
iu his double-barrelled editoiiul. bo many
important things can bo crowdeu into a
friendly visit if oue only bus time and op
portunity and inclination.
Then it was so woudorlully fortunate that
tha same Mr. Atkius should happen up iu
Windsor county nt the sume time the demo
crats lrom all over the country were con
vened to discuss political questions at a lovo
feast and should talk wiU them there. But
I cannot tell ot all the tui.cidenco, of that
irieuuiy visit. I may Uud cut more later.
.Meauwhila I humbly beg the geutlemau's
pardon for insinuating that he gavo
champagne breakfast. I trust that tbe
next visit tho gentleman makes to Bellows
l'alls ho wou't bo so shamefully treated, aud
mat audi strange coiuoiuences will not oc
cur to mar the occasion or the eujoyuble
recollection of it afterward. Tun SuiiK.

subject of general comment to-day, and tbo
former announcod that he will make no

Mr. Plorce of Tennessee and other loaders
iu tho free coinage movomout will make one
supreme attempt to force tho committee on

for a final vote on tho passago of tbo bill.
During to-day's session of the House,
though tho attendance was light, between
90 and 100 names were securod to the peti
tion asking the committee to bring in a re
port for further cou3idoratiou and a final
vote on tho bill. The total number of sig

It is quite positively stated by the auti-
freo coinage members that over 20 demo

Hundreds of thousands of voters in tbe

Prnsitlrlit II uri-Mon.
LFrom the Christian Union March ID, IHK.)
Born in 1833, President Harr 3 on, has
reached tho full matmity of his power, and
is at the point where n strong lnun renders
his highest service to his time: tho point
where strength remulus undiminished, aud
experience steadies and controls the im
pulses. Ho is ulso, probably, at the height
ot his public cirecr; at the close of a suc
cessful administration he stauds out as the
apparently inevitable choice of his party for
a second term. Differing from him on im
portant questions of public policy, tho
Christian Union has always been glad to
rtcoguize in our chief mugUtruto n man of
unstained record, of sincere patriotism, of
inrgo capacity and of excellent equipment
for his high ohlce. It is too early to sum
up and characterize President Harrison's
administration, but his record todato would
muko him a formidablo opponent to any
caudidato who may bo placed in tho field
against blm. He lacks the iutungiblo quul
ity of attraction which counts for so much
in tho career of public men like Mr, Cay
and Mr, Blaine; he has little power of stir
ring enthusiasm. But he commands tho
coufldenco of his friends and the respect of
his opponents. Ho is known to be upright,
outspoken, and trustworthy. It is said of
him by men of all parties and it Is a fine
tribute to his character that ho is a presl
dent who never lies. Ho is often blunt and
lacking in tact, but he never tells a man
who sees bitu at the White House one thing
aud stralghvwiy does another,
As a candidate for a second term, several
things will count strongly in his favor,
There is every rensou to believe that his ad
ministration will be ontirely free from scan
dais: so far no lack of persounl rectitude
has attached in any degree to tbe men
whom Mr. Harrison has cullod about him,
with perhaps n single exception. Tho do-
partmer.ts are said never to havo been moro
ellleieutly managed. The public business
is kept steadily in baud, Indeed, so assidu
ously does Mr. Hnrrisin apply himself to
the discharge of his duties tbut, like Mr,
Cleveland, be is criticised for lack of the
sense of proportion in bis work; for doing
ith his own hand what might well be passed
over to others less heavily burdened with
great responsibilities. This is a fault, but
it ono of those faults from which eocietv
does not greatly suHer. Presideut Hurri
sou stands clearly and definitely for a con
Distent public policy; he is the ardeut advo
cate of a high tariff, of subsidies to Ameri
can shipping, of large pensions, of a new
navy, aim ot federal control of elections
On some of these points the Christian Union
is as fiankly iu opposition, but it thoiougli
ly respects a mau who mills his Hag to the
must uud keeps it flying seven days in the
week, Presideut Harrison stands lor a de
finite, uggrosslve policy, and in political
struggles that is half the battlo, The domo
cratio party may profitably study his ex
ninple ut this point. There is good reaion
to hope, moreover, that Mr. Harrison will
go to tbe polls next autumn with every
foreign complication disposed of, uot only
In the intoroxl of the country, but nith u
certnln amount ot political capital secured
iu the general sottloment. A clean reoord
of four years, a definite nnd aggressive
policy, and successful settlement of foreign
complications will make Mr. Harrison a
formidablo candidate for the presidenoy.
Ha cau be beaten, it nt nil, only by a candi
date as frnuk and outspoken as himself,

Loveland Munson, associate judges. Some
of the cases heard by tbe court involved
Important questions of law and for this rea
son a recess was taken uutil this time thnt
there might bo sulficient time for consulta
tion nnd deliberation,
The case of State against Phillip Bcdard
was ordered contiuuod to the general term
for re-argument, and tho same disposition
was made of tho caso of State ugalnstjFrnuk
Wllkins and Charles Blow, 'Ihe caes arc
alike, tho three respondents haviug been
convicted of committing a criminal assault
upon Mary Pratt at Athletic Purk by tho
County Court.
In the case of Stato against Thomas Baker
of isex, who was fouud guilty of perjury
In tho County Court, court overruled the
exceptions of tue respondents, affirmed tho
judgment of guilty uud sontenced blm to
serve two years at bard labor in the State's
prison nt Windsor and to pay a fine of it
and costs.
Tho exceptions of respondents iu tho caso
of Stat j vs. K. H. White were sel asido and
the vcidict of guilty aflirmcd. The respon
dent wns fined l'5 and costs with au alter
nate sentence of 20 days to tbo House of
Correction.
Tbo decision of tho lower court in tho case
of Joricho against Underbill was reversed
nnd pending other questions was held by the
court. The caso of Edward Ycartoau
uguiust the estate of Joseph Bacon is still
with the court.
In the cafe of George Deno against Harry
Thomas the defendant's exceptions were
overruled and judgment for the plaintllf
wus atllrmed. Judge Taft delivered the
opinion, which was concurred in by Judges
Tyler nnd Munson, Judge Howell dissent
ing. It is au action of trover for the re-
coveiy of the vulue of a horse. Judge
Rowell agreed that the plaintilf should re
cover, but only nominal damages.
1 he ca-o of B. A. Austiu against H. A.
Bailey and others, perhaps contained the
most important law point of uuy. It was
an uction of trover and trespass, growing
out ot the taking of a horse belonging to
oue Malaney from tho possession of the
plniutitf by the defendants on a chattel
mortgage. Ibo plaintiff hud a lien for tho
Looping and training of tho horse, which ho
claimed had priority over the defendant s
mortgnge. Tho court hold otherwise, how
ever, reversing the judgment of the County
Court, which was in pluiiitifl s favor uud
rendered judgment, for tho defendants to
recovor costs.
Tho judgment of tho City Court in tbo
caso of M. II. Alexander vs, John Hanloy
was ulllriued und the exceptions of defend
aut were overruled, This disposing of t'ao
causes on tha docket and finishing tbe bust
uoss, court adjourned without day.
A NEW FREIGHT DEPOT.
Tile Central Vermont to Convert the Old
Lamoille Dupot Into a lteceilng Mu
tton.
As announced in Tuesday's Frek Press,
General Superintendent F W, Baldwin of
tho Central Vermont railroad arrived on
the moruiug mail train Tucsdav, Ho was
met by ttie following gentlemen, represout
ing some of the leading wholesale firms of
the city: Gen. William Wells, J. G. Reed,
Dr. i:. B. Johnson, A. E. Richardson, J. H.
ilolton, A. C. Spalding, . K. Brown, K
B. Kimball, Alderman W. E. Hall, L. B
Lord, Solomon Walker, O. F. Cogswell, C
C. Miller, W. H. Greene nud W. W. Walk
er. Director li. It. Smalley and Station
Agent Greene joined Mr. Baldwin.
Ceu. Wells thought that the old Burling
ton and Lamoille freight depot could be re
paired and mado a receiving station, which
would furnish tomporary relief until the
company could build a commodious inward
nnd outward freight station such
ns the traffic of tho city warrants.
Acting on tho suggestion, tbe party pro
cvodod to tho south yurd and examined the
building. The merchants are agroed, ex
cupt the Messrs. Walkers, who believed that
tho two stations being oue-hulf mile more or
le-.s apart would not lurnish the needed and
much sought leliof. The others looked at
it iu a dift'ereut light. They said that tbe La
moille depot would enlarge the facilltie;
sutltciiintly to ensure prompt delivery of
goods which it was impossible to obtain,
through tbe present station and this would
greatly overbalance the Inconvenience of
having tho stations some distance npart. If
their goods were delivered in due time thoy
could bold their trade, otherwise thoy could
not. Mr. Baldwin said that it looked to
him as though the Lamoille depot would
supply the desired want especially so consul
eriug that It wus to bo ouly temporary,
1 ho merchaut8 were so practically uuani
mous about tbe matter that Mr. Baldwin
uud Mr. Smalley suid that tha company
would tlx the building as soon as possible
and convert it into a station fur receiving
incoming freight. It will probably take
about three weeks to got tho necessary inn
terinl and muko the repairs. In the mean
time, the Board of Aldermen will be asked
to build a solid nud substantial road from
Maple street to tho depot, some few rod;
distant.
Whether the plan will suit nil or not, is
of course a matter of conjecture, but freight
can be huuled up towu much easier from
tbe Lamoille depot than from the presen
one. The business interests ut the city neei
increased facilities very badly and the ma
jority of the merchants kuow that "great
things do not always come nt once,
nnd so they are gotus to take what it is pos
siblo for tho company to do now. Ihe
freight collections ut this station amount
to over :J1, 000,000 yearly. It is understood
this business exceeds the tunuiige to uud
from ull tho stations on tho Central und par
of the Rutland divisions. The piosent sta
tlon Is about the size ot tbe one ut Wuter
bury, which gives a good idea of the neces
sity of batter accommodations. President
Smith quickly acquisceil in the propo.al o
Geu, Wells und a now modern Height stu
Hon may be expected in tbe ueur future.
