IeniIrOad Matters.

There are rumors of changes in the time
tables of several of the railroads next
week.
The Delaware and Hudson line of rail-
road will change the time tables on the 23d
Of May. A change was contemplated May
/, but it seemed best to postpone it till the
trunk roads make their summer table.
1t is understood that the Delaware and
Hudson canal company intend adding
largely to the accommodations of the Rens-
selaer and Saratoga division during the en-
suing season, and double track is report
ed as already in progress between Saratoga
and Ballston.
Statements of new lines by boat and rail
between New York and Saratoga are all
moonshine. Before the story was concoct-
ed, the arrangements had already been
made between the Delaware and Hudson
company and the Vande rbilt managers for
the four Saratoga specials during the sea
son. The relations Of the companies are
very amicable, and the Delaware and IIud-
son company is disposed to extend on all
sides every accommodation which can rea-
sonably be asked for.

DESPERATE FIGHT.
Two Officers Shot--0ne Fatnlly-Ruf-
flanns Finally Arrested and Imprisoned
WILKEsnARRE. Pa. April 20.

WiLKEsBARRE, Pa, April 20.
To-day, Constable Michael Casey went
to Plymouth township to levy upon the
goods of James Council, but was resisted
and returned to this city for assistance.
Police officer Reibsenucr went with him.
They found that the whole Connell family,
comprising ten or dozen men had congre-
gated together in one house, and barricaded
1t. When the officers approached they
they were fired upon, Reibsenncr receiving
three balls, one in his head and two in his
body Casey was also shot. Reibsenner
was brought to this city where he now lies
with hopes of his recovery The constable
is yet in Plymouth and in very critical
condition Two of the Councils have been
arrested the others at Last accounts were
surrounded so that they could not escape.
The whole family are despcradoes and will
probably fight to the last.
The old man Council and three more of
his sons, Edward, Lawrence, and Thomas
have been arrested. A posse of 100 men
is between so and 70 years of age, threat
ened to shoot any person who approached
the house with hostile intent, and declared
that he would die before he would be ar
rested. An attempt was made to break in
the front door which was heavily barri-
caded, and several volleys were fired from
the inside but no one was hit. Everything
being in readiness, finally after desperate
fight, Councils was handcuffeed and
brought here. Lawrence and Edward,
who fired the shots from the window
which struck Officer Reibenner, were held
for that cause and the others were also
sent to prison. Reibenner IS sinking rapid
ly; Casey will probably recover, although
he has fourteen buckshot in his body.
Over dozen muskets and rifles, most of
them loaded, was found in the house of
the Councils after their capture. tss

west Rutland Spelling Match.

The town hall, West Rutland was COM
fortably filled on Wednesday evening the
occasion of our spelling match. 1t was
understood that the children of the various
public schools in this vicinity were to COM
pete with outsiders generally but SO few of
the former put in an appearance tina. it
was decided to make 1t a contest between
West Rutlanders generally and all partici-
pants from other places.
Some eight or ten young gents from
Rutland among whom we noticed the
noted spelists w. F. Eddy, E. P Mussey,
and w. X. Sheldon We're then arranged on
one side against perhaps twenty-five on the
other side, nearly all of whose fret expert
ence as public spclists was about to COM
mence
The Rev. Mr.. Williams acted as cnunci-
ator. DR.. Cochran, f. l.. Walker and j.
L. Leonard as judges. The books used
were Towns and the Analytical speller.
The first word missed showed very
"megar" acquaintance with photography.
"Goard" by school boy caused "crises"
in another. Miss Burlingame disdained to
"coppy" any one, and departed. A young
man from Ira could not 'purjer' himself
and was excused. Another young man
needed "practise." Miss Wing was too
young for ''bodyce" and cheerfully went
out. "Fezzent" disgraced Mr.. Dugan and
the bird. "Wigeon" wanted wing, and
Patsy Donnegan wilted. "Alinatc' by
Miss Proctor was foreign to prize.
"Concisness" weakened the Rutlanders by
Woodruff. Mr.. Murphy could not "coen-
eide" with the enunciator and "took his
time" Miss Goss went out on "talketive."
''Sedicious" ended Mr.. Manleys chances
for a prize. Mr. Piper was 'exhasperated'
hut departed like gentleman. Mr. N. w.
Smith was 40 doubt dreaming of down
"matress" and needed ct" to wake him up.
AT this juncture but three Rutlanders and
six Wesl-siders remained, anu they all
seemed so thoroughly posted that judges
and enunciator were in despair for crock
of English" with which to annlhilate them.
Miss Hattie Manley, who had proved her
self an excellent speller, at length sue.
cumbed to "vendable." "Inefltable" took
another excelentp prop from the Westsiders,
which disaster was followed by II. Grahams
slight acquaintance with 'pnuemomics.
w. f. Eddy next went out on 'autocracy."
Miss ii. Gilmore shortly followed on 'al-
chamist, leaving Mr.. q. II. Sheldon and
Miss Glazier, West side, and Mr.. VIII
Sheldon and Evelyn p. Mussey, Rutland.
For some time the alternate spelling was
something remarkable, either side grinding
out abstruse polysyllables in startling sue
cession. Win Sheldon at length tripped
on "corrolary' and Mr.. Mussey was left
alone in his glory. Mr., G. IL. Sheldon,
after securing splendid reputation as a
spellist, was, at length, obliged to with
draw his support from Miss Glazicr, and
the combat depended between single OPP
ponent on either side. The climax came
at last in the word "oyiperous" by Mr..
Mussey, and was quickly amended "ovipar-
J GUS" by Miss Glazier. Thus West Rutland

Fire..

The brick residence of Linus L. Prouty,
in GAINESVILLE, N. Y, two and one-half
miles south of Poultney, was totally con-
sumed by fire about two o'clock Thursday
afternoon. Sparks from burning brush
heap were blown upon the single roof of
a shed near the wooden wing of the house.
The shingles were soon ablaze, and in a
few minutes the shed and wing were
wrapped in flames. The loss ON the house
and furniture Is 81, 500 above an insurance
of $500 in the Glen's Falls Insurance
company. Another hint to protect your
buildings with slate roofs.

The Rutland spelling Match.



Editor Rutland Globe Il see by this
mornings GLOBE that some of the good
people who were disappointed at the spell
ing match last week, not finding them
selves the spoilers which they thought they
were, are disposed to lay the blame, Adam
like, to somebody else. l cant conceive
how Mr.. Field can possibly be at fault
because anyone did not know how to spell,
or because one did not know that easy
words were to be put out, and therefore
spelled them in a hard way. How can
threaten,-was introduced into the English
from the French, and minaclous came d.
rectly from the Latin minar, threatening,
even if Mr. Cook was not before aware of
it? Both words had the same origin, the
same general meaning. | did not under
stand the enunciator TO say that nina
cious was derived from menace, but that it
signifed menacng. The gentleman has
learned something he ought TO be con
tented. In regard to the charge that the
high school scholars were familiar with
the spelling book used, while others were
not, what has that TO do with knowing
how to spell good English words Be
sides, have inquired, and Mr.. Dana says
that the scholars had never to his know
ledge used or seen Towns spellcr, the
one the cnunciator used that night as
Worcester's pronouncing spcller, is in use
in the high and grammar schools So
much for that advantage. In regard to
the Bible being won and carried to Castle
ton, am sorry if any one is not satisfied,
for in that very book God says His word
shall, like the rain and dew, go everywhere,
and accomplish the thing whereunto it ia
sent, not returning to him void. We be-
lieve it, and believe it has gone TO good
place for its work. l understand that the
scholars arc thinking of giving out another
challenge, not in naughty, supercilious
manner, but desiring TO learn to spell cor
rectly, and incite others to do the same.
hope the report is correct and that the dis
affected may find a solace in attendance.
