Murder and Arson at Rutland.

The people of Rutland were shocked
Tuesday morning by the discovery that
murder had been committed in that
place, and an attempt to conceal the
same by burning the house in which the
deed was committed. Early in the
morning smoke was seen issuing from a
house occupied by Mrs. Anna Freeze ON
Forest Street. A fire alarm was given
and it was soon discovered that the fire
was in sleeping room up stairs, in
which the smoke was so dense that no
one could enter, though the body Of some
person was seen on the bed. The goods
in the lower part of the house were saved
but the building was destroyed. As the
bedroom floor fell the charred remains
we're recovered, and though all the ex-
tremities we're burnt as well as much of
the trunk, they were identified as those
of Mrs. Freeze and it was also found
that she was probably murdered before
the house was set on fire. Mrs Freeze
is said to have been person of bad re-
pute. and usually had considerable mon
ey about her person and other valuables
in her house and robbery is thought to
have been the motive. An inquest took
\ place on Wednesday.

DrsGRAGEFUL AFFAIR. The special
train Thursday night to North Benning-
ton and Arlington that was conveying
people home who had been attending the
circus at Bennington was the scene of
disgraceful affair." Three North Ben
nington roughs that had imbibed too
freely of liquor or some other fighting
substance, refused to pay their fare to
Conductor Wilder who was in charge of
the train. The train was stopped and
after considerable difficulty they were
put off. During the affair, VIM. O'Con-
nell brakeman on the train lost his
lantern which fell to the ground, and
while picking it up was struck in the
eye, and Conductor Wilder was also
struck in the breast by stones, both of
which we're thrown after the persons had
been put off. Several stones were also
thrown through the car windows. There
ought to be some law (if there is not

The governor question begins to be in.

The governor question begins to be in
teresting. The strength for Judge
Peck does not appear SO great as two
weeks ago. In Chittenden county the
towns have nearly all held their eau
cuses and are almost solid for Taft, no
strength at all being developed for Peck.
We don't regard this, however, as any
indication Of how it will stand in the
state. In fact it only makes it appear
more probable that some man but little
talked about as yet, will receive the
nomination.

A FLOATING MENAGERIE.-It is stat
ed that party of army officers, who
have been engaged in mounting guns
and otherwise putting the Gulf folts in
condition, while sailing
through Mississippi Sound, since the re-
cent flood, encountered a remarkable
scene. For miles were seen logs, drift
wood and patches of turf and soil float
ing out into the gulf, filled with live an
finals, who chung to their frail barques
with the tenacity Of shipwrecked mari
ners. Among the animals were seen rats
raccoons, possoms, rabbits, alligators,
and moccasin snakes in uncounted num-
bers, all brought down from the swamps
and marshes, perhaps from fifty to one
hundred miles inland. The novel exhi-
bition had scientific interest, as it sug.
gested the manner in which, during past
geological periods, animals were. trans
ported from regions far inland to the
mouth of estuaries, and their bones being
entombed in the silt and soft mud, fur
nished the organic remains which are
preserved for ages in the hardened stra.
ia. 1t was, doubtless, by similar mean:
the fossils now found in the solid lime
stones were engulfed and preserved. and
also that animal life has been distributed
over portions of the globe.

If the people feel any interest as to
results at their caucuses or primary meet
ings, in the election of delegates to the
State and county conventions they should
attend these meetings and thus see that
they are properly and correctly repre-.

they should at once arouse an interest
within themselves, as such only will pre-

TWENTY HOUSES DESTROYED.

TWENTY HOUSES DESTROYED.
A terrific tornado swept over Tampico,
H., Saturday night, making nearly a
total wreck of the village. Twenty-one
houses were destroyed, and two elevators,
one containing about 10000 bushels of
grain and the other about 500 bushels,
were demolished. The depot of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
was badly damaged. No lives were lost,
but there were number of serious cas-
ualties. Mrs. j. G. Gates had a leg
broken in two places, and her husband
was seriously bruised another Mr.. Gates
and wife were badly injured. Maria
Barnes was hurt very badly about the
head, and Granville Conner also received
dangerous injuries. A number of others
were injured, but not seriously. The
amount of damage done cannot be esti-
mated yet. The people are bCsily en-
gagged gathering up the remnants. The
The tornado struck the village at ten
minutes past eleven o'clock, A. NJ, and
was accompanied by rain, thunder and
lightning, and lasted but few minutes

BowDoIN AND DARTMOUTH. At the
time when the difficulties of Bowdoin
College first assumed such a phase to at
tract the public attention, it was stated
that Dartmouth stood ready to receive
the students who might, voluntarily or
otherwise, forfeit their connection with
Bowdoin. This report was promptly
contradicted by President Smith of Dart.
mouth. In letter written to President
Chamberlain of Bowdoin, he affirmed
that Dartmouth would hold strictly to
its rule of intercollegiate comfy, which
forbids the admission of students from
other colleges except with " testimonials
of unexceptionable standing" Con-
corning the point in dispute between the
Faculty and The students Of Bowdoin
he expressed strong approval of the
course of the authorities of that institu.
ton in sending away the students who
were in open and defiant revolt. He
added the hope that none of the students
would be re-admitted till they had sub.
mitted to the college authority.

LIVELY SCENE AT AN AUcUIoN.
An aucti at Ashton Crossing, Iowa,
about week ago, was marked by some
rather forcible bidding which is described
as follows:
1.-TWO men made the same bid On a
piece of property, and it was struck off,
both claiming it, and quarrel ensued.
A son of one of the bidders seized the
other by the beard, put revolver in his
mouth and fred, the ball passing out Of
his neck. The wounded man drew a re-
volver and shot his assailant in the side
A second son rushed in, and the first
wounded man started 10 run and fell.
when the man with whom he auarreled
seized him and attempted to cut his
throat. The parties we're arrested. al
though the man first attacked was set at
liberty"

day, during the discussion of the defci-

Mr.. Holman of Indiana, who belongs on
the democratic side of the House, took
occasion to open his batteries on the re-

in the midst of his speech, he was inter.

interrogatives like those: Didn't you

you procure the insertion in the river

Mr.. Holman did not seem to be provided
with satisfactory answers, and had to sit
down.

Tragedy on the Train.

THE LATE EXPRESS ROBBERY.
We gave a brief account of the ex-
press tragedy in Michigan last week.
According TO the Detroit Tribune, the
train was the last nightexpres switch left
Chicago at 5 o'clock p. m. The car of
the American Express company was
next the engine, and was only occupied
by the mess enger, being lighted by sim
gle candle, and all the doors locked
Several thousand dollars were in the
safe, before which sat the messenger, Mr..
S. B. Heath, sorting the packages of
money. When the train had reached
point few miles beyond New Buffalo,
Heath, who was bending down, saw a
mans foot softly placed between him and
the safe, and before he could turn him
self he was struck violent blow on the
forehead. His assailant at the same
moment put out the candle and seizing
a package Of money darted out the front
door, the lock of which had been forced
off. Heath, by this time had sprung to
his feet, but before, in his half stunned
condition, he could reach the door,
another man was upon him, and ter
riole life and death struggle ensued.
Heath had revolver, aud the robber a
large knife, and the men endeavored to
use their weapons. The fight was long
and desperate From side to side and
end to end of the car the men rolled and
tumbled in the darkness, now one up
permost, now the other, and again side
by side, Heath trying to shoot and the
robber to stab. At last, when Heath
was nearly fainting from exhaustion, and
was lying underneath, he managed to
shoot his antagonist through the head
The fellow, although not instantly killed,
rolled off the messenger and lay uncon-
scious on the floor. Heath then tainted,
and remained in this condition until the
train reached Niles, few miles beyond.
The sight that met the eyes of those that
entered the car at Niles was a terrible
one. The robber was just breathing his
last and Heath, badly injured and GOV.
cred with blood, lay upon the floor un
able to rise. The man who escaped car
ried off $1,000 in money, and seems t.
have left his companion to his fate.
