Thirty Millions of Dollars Paid An
nually to Pensioners.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %.

WAohiNoloN, OCt. 80.
Hon. II. NJ. Atkinson, commissioner of
pensions. in his annual report, says that
the number of pensioners added to the
rolls during the last fiscal year was II ,557,
and the number dropped, by reason of
death, re-enlistment, remarriage, expiration
of minors pensions, or the discovery of
fraud, was 12,97S, making net decrease
of l,420. The number of pensions increased
was 1861. The total number of PEN
sieners borne on the rolls on June 80, 1875,
was PA, 1921. Thirteen widows of revou-
tonary soldiers who were married prior to
the year 1900, and 1865 married subsequent
to that date, are still borne on the rolls In
1871 the average rate of pension paid to the
army invalid pensioners annually $S9.18
in 1872, S00.26; in 1878, $685. 46; in 1874,
$9S. IA; in 1876, $103.0l, or $S.G5 per
month. The rates vary from 81 to $50
per month. The total disbursements of the
pension bureau during the last fiscal year
were 800, 1888, 1903, leaving a balance
from the appropriations of 1871 1884, 81,
which has been covered into the treasury.
The appropriations for the current fiscal
year were: For army pensions, 800, $780,
600, and for navy pensions, $500, 900. The
commissioner is of opinion that unless
there is some further liberalization legisla-
ton by congress, an appropriation Of $780,
600 900 will be sufficient for the nayment
of pensions for the next fiscal year.

All Hallow Eve.

Monday next will be All Souls day,
and therefore the anniversary of All Hal
low eve. Tuesday will be All Saints day.
All Hallow eve is great festival among
our Irish adopted citizens, and is Invariably
celebrated with great interest and ceremo-
ny. Many Americans have also come to
observe the day within the few years past.
The house of every Irlshman and sou OF
an Irishman, no matter how humble, will
on that evening indicate its respect of the
anniversary by the introduction of some
ceremony applicable to the occasion. Duck
ing for apples is a simple yet amusing pas
time, and this, if nothing else, will be gone
through with. But there are many other
games that will be INDUCED in by old and
young, and especially by lovers, to test the
sincerity of the love pledges and intentions
of young gents and ladies who are paying
attentions to each other. Many matches
of marriage are made on ballow eve, and
not few broken off At all events, it is
a night of merry making, and as such will
be largely enjoyed

Fatal Accident at Chatham.

William Stewart was killed while walk
ing on the Albany and Boston railroad at
Chatham on Monday. He had started for
home on business and was walking on the
track towards Albany and seeing freight
train approaching stepped of that track on
TO the other just in front of the fast express
for Albany going at the rate of fifty miles
an hour. The engine struck and killed
him instantly. Owing to the noise of the
freight Stewart probably did not hear the
express. The body was very little mutt
lated by the blow. He was taken to his
home only little way distant. Mrs.
Stewart went into spasms at the sight of
the body. lie was a brother of the new
mailroute agent on the Harlem Extension
railroad. The deceased was carpenter.

Shooting Affair on the Fairhaven
Road.


On Wednesday of this week shooting
affair occurred on the Fairhaven road, just
bevond the residence of the Rev. Horace
w. Finch. about q mile from, this place.
Mr.. John Keith and Mr.. William Roe, who
reside in Fairhaven, had been to this vii
lage, and on their return home were fired
upon by Mr.. j. Blanchard, Of this place.
Each party gives different version of the
affair According to the Fairhaven gentle
men, they we're driving quietly along, and
seeing dog in the road in front of them,
struck it with whip, whereupon it yelped
out and ran behind the wagon. AS the..dog
yelped and ran behind the wagon, some one
cried out to them from a field adjoining
the road Turning to see vho it was and
what was said, they asked him what he
said. He replied, "I'lf show you in just
minute" and at the same moment fired
The shot struck Keith on the left side of
his face and on the back of his head and on
his neck. Blanchard Immediately fired
again, the shot taking effect this time on
ROe.-Thatat thereupon, still being in
the wagon which they had not left, turned
around and came back to Mr.. Finch's and
thence to Whitehall. - E
Blanchard on the other hand claims that
after they struck the dog and he had called
out to them, they hitcbed their horse and
came into the lot where he was and assail-
ed him. That he turned to run from them
IL order to avoid them, and that his gun
being cooked went off accidentally, in
flicting the injuries. Blanchard was ar
rested on a warrant issued by Justice
Barnes. Thes case is still under examina-
ton Hill for people; Doig for prisoner.
Mr.. Keith is an employe of Mr.. Kitridge
in his mill at Fairhaven. He is reported
to be in critical condition, one of the
shot having lodged in his neck near the
jugular vein, rendering tie extraction diff
cult aud dangerous. = Whitehall Chronicle.
1t is reported that Mr.. Keith has since
died

Fire in Montpelier.

Montpelier had another slight fire Satur-
day night, but one which, with the high
wind, might have been quite as disastrous
as that of May last. 1t is believed to have
been the work of an incendiary, and for
destructive work 1t was well planned. 1t
was set in the cellar of the store occupied
by w. +. Mcclure, on State street, as a
grocery and variety store. The building
is better known perhaps as the ''old Wal
ton book store" 1t is an old wood build
ing, Joined on two sides by other wooden
buildings, but heavy stream of water
from Bailey's mill played by the machinery
in the mill, recent device, did most adj
mirable execution, and the flames were
soon subdued and the place luckily saved
from great calamity. The damage TO the
building is considerable, and to the con-
tents quite severe by wettng.

Probably no compound yet invented has
stood the test of time and use like that
standard old Vermont Remedy, known for
the last forty-four years as Rev. N. Ii.
Downs Vegetable Balsamic Elixir. This
medicine, although invented in the days
when the virtues of many of our present
extracts were unknown, still stands at the
head of the list of the many remedies now
advertised for the cure of coughs, colds,
Group, asthma and all diseases of the chest
and lungs.
Physicians recommend it to their pa
tients, and use it themselves. What better
proof is wanting that it is what its proprie-
tors claim for il? The fact is it is perfect
ly reliable.
1t has been weighed in the balance of
public favor, and is pronounced sure and
positive. Those that have used it need no
assurance of ours, and those who have not
should give it trial, and we have no ap-
prehensons as TO the the result of their
opinions.

in the treasury and that the society had
placed to its credit on the books of the
American Bible society, $4,000. The regu-

The Rev. J. w. Bemis, the secretary,
made lengthy report of the work done
by him and the society during the year.
President M. ii. Buckham, of Burling-
ton, delivered an able address on the sub
Bible"
He said first we must preach the word.
He did not mean the clergymen, but all
christians the church should preach
through the minister, not the minister
through the church. The church
should demand the minister to preach the
Bible. He then drew comparison be-
tween Bible sermons and modern pulpit
oratory. He preferred the former. He
urged the importance of committing the
scriptures TO memory, which, If done in
youth, was valuable as shield against
temptation and for counsel and support
through life.
AT the close of President Buckham's ad-
dress, DIR. Gilmore of New York, delegate
from the American bible society, gave an
interesting account of the noble work per-
formed by his society, and gave many in
teresting illustrations of conversions from
the printed word alone among the hardest
of criminals, and among the blind, who
could read the bible printed in raised let
tiers. The meetings in the day and even
ing were all well attended and showed earn
estness and prosperity in the Vermont bible
society still continued.

The Suit Against SWeenY.

New YORK, Oct. 25.
Peter b. Sweenys attorney filed his
answer on Saturday to papers in the suit
for SO, 19S.957.S6. Sweeny denies that he
conspired with the late James Watson or
with any other, person to defraud the city,
and furthermore he denies that he received
any part of $33, 64044 mentioned IN the
complaint as having been down on six
warrants for payment OF fraudulent claims.
Verification of the answer is made by John
McKeon, Sweeny's counsel, on the ground
that McKeon is thoroughly acquainted
with the facts, and that Sweeny is still in
France, where he had gone before this suit
was brought. Wheeler Fl. Peckham i'm
mediately served notice of trial Of the suit

Moody and Sankey,

New York, Oct. 25.
The Evangelists held forth to another
immense audience in Brooklyn, in the rink
this evening. The large building was filled
in every part, and none were so unfortu-
nate as to be turned away from the doors.
A larger number of policemen were on the
ground than on Sunday, but there was
little, if any necessity for their services, 80
orderly was the crowd, and 30 readily was
II disposed of by ushers. Drs. Talmadge,
Cuyler, Scudder, Carroll and Miss Sarah
E. Smiley, the woman preacher, occupied
seats at the front of the platform. During
Mr.. Sankey's singing the audience was so
quiet that the dropping of pin could be
heard. Moody took his text from Romans,
third chapter and eighth verse, and deliv-
cred vigorous address. At the close
meeting for young men was he'd in the old
Dutch church opposite the rink.

Death of Hon. David P. Noyes.

The venerable Judge David P. Moves
died at the residence of his son-in-law, o.
car A. Burton, ESQ.,, at Burlington, on SUM-
day evening", at the advanced age of SO
years. fft'<
David P. Noyes, in the prime of his
years, was an extendedly known business
man and prominent politician in northern
Vermont, and was a power in business and
political circles. A merchant by occupa-
ton, his relations with the people extended
over large section of country, from Nor
ristown, the place of his residence, to Can
ada line on the north, and to the Connecti-
cut river on the east. He was the financier
of that section and accumulated large
fortune. About 1850 he retired from act
i've pursuits, and has since resided at Mont
pelier, Burlington, Plattsburgh, New York
city and other points where his inclinations
led him, mainly spending his summers at
Saratoga Springs. 1.l.tli
Judge Noyes has been much in public
life, in the state and the democratic party,
to which he ever continued his attachment
through evil and good report--in days of
victory and defeat. He was a member of
the constitutional convention of 1922, from
Morristown, and represented that town in
the legislature in 1882, 1888, 1884, 1885 and
1888; judge of the county court in 1910
and lS41 senator from Lamoillle county
In 1874 and 1916. He was also a delegate
from Vermont to several national conven-
tions of the democratic party.
Mr.. Noyes was a pronounced democrat
of the Jefferson and jackson schools. tena-
clous of his political opinions, and was
ever ready to discuss the questions arising
between parties. He was leader in poll
tics, and was the compeer and associate of
David Robinson, John Smith, Nathan Smi-
lie, Jonas Clark, Luther b. Hunt, Nathan
b. Haswell, Paul Dillingham;, j. 7. Mars
ton, David A. Smalley, Charles G. East
man and others. He has always retained
his utilization with that party. No policy or
expcdiency could ever swerve or tempt
him from " his position as an
old line democrat. On all ques-
tions he was a man of strong
convictions and gave bold and fearless ut
terances to his opinions. He was withal,
to those who knew him well, genial and
kindly man, a gentleman of the olden time
whom one delights to meet In these days
of shsddy and sham. The true, earnest,
and honored men, the pioneers of the state,
