VERMONT BOYS AT DARTMOUTH.
Vermont boys took the three highest
prizes at Dartmouth college last week. The
Grimes prizes, for members of the senior
class who excel in English composition,
were awarded as follows First of 1886 to
Charles A. Prouty of Newport, second of
1874 to Henry w. Smith of Rupert Kim
ball prize, $50, for that member of the
senior class who shall submit the best
statement of "what distinguishes man
from the brute creation" also to Charles
A. Prouty. Prouty is the valedictorian of
his class, and has carried off half d 4,
first prizes. No New Hampshire student
took prize, of which eight. ia ALL are Of
sered.
THE SECOND DISTRICT.
A correspondent OF the Springfield he.
publican, writing from Bellows Falls about
politics in the second district, says
1t seems strange that congressional poll.
tics In this district can never take rest, as
they do in the other two, during the .'off
year" but so tits, and, even now, you will
frequently hear groups of men discussing
who shall succeed Denison. If Judge Po-
land could have had his last winters record
year earlier, it would have carried him
through, but he never will be an "avail-
able" man before more strictly popular
assembly than the state legislature in a
ballot for senator. lie may carry that, and
is almost certain to try. 1t is pretty certain
that Denison will have two terms, unless
he does something specially obnoxious to the
people, but 1t is more certain that that is
the limit unless he shows more ability than
he is expected to do. Windham county
claims the right to name the next man. but
seems to haye none, except Wheeler, who
cannot command any strength in the other
counties. The grange element is great
deal stronger in Windham county than il
was, six months ago, and it would not be
strange if the farmers should keep Mead
before the public, perhaps, even nominal.
ing him, next year. He is stronger in
Orange and Caledonia counties than any
Windsor or Windam county man.
AS a general rule, Vermonters, except
those peculiarly interested, take very little
interest in the Smith-Page squabble ovei
the Centrsl railroad, regarding it as a case
of 'dog eat dog" For myself, | think
that while the great hue-and-cry raised by
the enemies of the administration may
keep the administration freer from making
little crooked tracks, it SO embraces the
road in its business relations as to more
than counterbalance the little good done.

The Tired" Rutland Champion.

Ever since Mr.. johnson defeated Mr..
Bailey eleven games to two at checkers,
the Rutland Herald and Bailey's friends
have been trying to prove that Bailey is
the best player. The Herald of Friday
had long article plethoric with misstate-
ments, which endeavors to convince it's
readers that Trojan players are no match
for the Rutland champion. 1t boasts of
Balley's beating Gardner. Well, he did,
just one game the most; but the Herald
never mentioned the fact that Gardner
beat Bailey ~ to 90 few days before, and
four to two the only other time they ever
played together. The statement that Gard
ner always beats johnson is also untrue.
They never played but five sittings togeth-
er, were never more than two games apart
at either of them, and johnson has won as
many sittings as Gardner. With his study
and practice, however, it is probable that
Gardner would overmatch johnson (who
has no time to study the game) on the long
run, though he has failed to do so hereto
fore. The Herald ignores the fact that
johnson beat Bailey ut the only other SIT
ting they ever played, when Bailey was
"fresh," and didn't even claim to be stale
The Herald INDUCES in half column Of
buncombe, but doesn't publish the scores
Bailey has made with Trojan players, 80
that its readers can judge for themselves
Having defeated Bailey at two sittings,
johnson does not deem it necessary to fol-
low him to Rutland to beat him again, but
he will come TO Troy. And 30 will Gard

This contrast III the utterances of such a
man as Allen G. Thurman in one short

a reputation, how easy il Is to sink the

impossible to believe that the same Allen

HEAVY STORMS IN TIE WEST

The storms of last Friday and Sunday
night in Missouri prove to have been un-
usually severe, doing much damage to pro-
perty. All the railroads in the state, es-
pecially those running east and west, were
greatly injured. From Sedalia west on the
Missouri Pacific several bridges and cul-
verts were carried away, and the track was
washed out in number of places. Like
damage was done to the st. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern road on its western di-
vision, and the eastern division of the
Hannibal and st. Joseph road shared the
same fate. The rain fall was unpreccdent-
ed and the country for miles was covered
with water. In some places hail as large
as hens eggs fell causing great destruction
to crops. The most terrific storm since
1874 visited Kansas city and the country
for fifty miles around, Sunday night. The
rain poured down in torrents, and was ac-
companied with high winds, hail and ter
rible thunder and lightning. Several
houses in the city were struck by lightning
and number unroofed. Immense damage
was done to the streets, and many cellars
were flooded. The damage to farms was
also very great, fences being washed away
and fields of corn on the bottom lands sub
merged. One of the heaviest storms ever

Commissioner Dennison has returned TO the city
after three weeks absence.
Orders have been issued for the laying OF q
twelveinch sewer in alleys In squares $50 and 367.
Mr.. William Forsyth, the District Surveyor,
has Just completed and sent to Lieutenant HoIie
the most perfect map of Georgetown ever made.
II is about six feet by i've, and will II is thought
be photo-lithOgraphed and mounted. 1t was pre-
pared in accordance with an act ofthe Legislative
tains the squares, lots and subdivisions. On It
the squares are numbered according to the laws
passed, thus making it perfect in all its details.
The bill was approved by Ex-Governor Shepherd,
and subsequently by the District Commissioners,
who, through Engineer HoXie, ordered that the
work should be proceeded with. 1t will prove OF
great value TO the officials as well as to real estate
agents and dealers.
During the last session Of Congress an appro-
priation Of $37 800 was made by the Government
for the erection Of a new hre-alRrm telegraph,
with the proviso that the District government
should expend like sum-. Yesterday the Com
missioners, being about to take some action look
ing 10 the execution OF this law, discovered that
the clause had been omitted in the printed law,
and upon further inquiry at the Capitol 1t was
found that the chief engTosslng officer had over
looked it in engrossing the bill. It not being on
the approved bill, the amendment making the ap-
preparation is therefore not part Of the law. The
commissioners very much regret this, and state
that they can see remedy for il before the next
session OF Congress conYenes.
