The Blaine Investigation

WASHINGTON, June /.
The sub-judiary committee met again
this morning and continued the examina-
ton Of James Mullgan. The witness said
he wanted TO make a statement before con-
tinuing his examination. He said that
when he arrived here note came down
from MIR. Blaine requesting the witness
and Fisher to call at bis house. Witness
declined to 60, but Fisher went. After the
witness testified yesterday, Mr.. Blaine
called upon witness aud asked him about
some letters which were in his possession,
and wanted witness to give them up to
him, but witness declined 40 do 90. Wit
ness said Blaine almost got down on his
knees and plead for the letters, saying they
would ruin him for life; and when witness
further declined, Blaine asked him to think
OF bis wife and six children. He besought
witness. and almost contemplated suicide.
witness then allowed Blaine to take them,
under pledge that he would return them.
He looked them over, and did return them.
This was in the presence OF Fisher and At
kins. Witness then retired to his room,
and Blaine followed him and wanted to
look at the letters again. Witness allowed
Blaine to take them, and Blaine refused
to return them, and still retains
them. No one was present at this
time but Blaine and the witness.
There were about eighteen letters. While
this statement was being made Mr.. Blaine
sat at table opposite the witness, and ex-
hibited considerable mirth of the statement
laughing outright at the remark about sui-
eide. and when the witness closed MIR.
Blaine rose at once and asked to be sworn,
and to be allowed to make counter-state-
ment. The chairman objected to it at that
time, but assured Mr.. Blaine that he should
have an opportunity. Witness was asked
II he knew the contents of the letters, and
what their contents were as far az they re-
lated to the Union Pacific bonds. Blaine
objected to witness giving the contents of
the letters until he had made counter
statement. Mr.. Frye said that, assuming
the statement about the letters to be as
witness had stated it, he thought it proper
for Mr. Blaine to be heard. These letters
were private letters of Blaine to Fisher;
they were kept in Fishers safe witness
had no buSiness with them, but had got
possession of them and brought them here
they referred in no manner TO the Union
Pacific bonds that were represented as 60
ing to Col. Scott. Mr.. Hunton thought the
committee, in the absence of the letters,
themselves had right to inquire their con-
tents. II the letters bore upon the matter
At issue, they had right to know their
contents. Let Mr.. Blaine put the lestersin
possession of the committee, and let the
committee decide for themselves.

White River Valley Railroad.

The company of the White River Valley
railroad, was organized at Rochester, on
Monday, the Goth inst. Chester Pierce
was elected president. The directors for
Rochester, are Chester Pierce, G. A.
Weber, j. B. Rogers, r. II. Upper for
Stockbridge, Nelson Gay, G. G. Smith,
Albert whitcomb ; for Bethel, Merrick
Sylvester, B. G. Bagley. This line of road
starts from some point on the Central Yer
mont, in the town Of Royalton or Bethel,
and extends to Rochester. There is reason
to believe that this will be the beginning
of the Rutland and Bethel road, and will
meet the Rutland division at Pittsfield.
This line is to be narrow gauge, and work
to be commenced Immediately. The meet
ing at Rochester, Monday, was we'll at
tended and spirited. The courage of the
people on the line is rising, and it is evident
that business is meant now. So says the
Montpelier Journal.

In accordance with the custom of pre-.
vious years, Memorial day was celebrated
with appropriate ceremonies. A large
number of citizens of this and adjoining
towns were present. At an early hour in
the afternoon the people assembled a. the
grove near the postoflice, and after prayer
by Rev. E. ]. Ward, listened to the Grafton
from Hon. d. E. Nicholson, of Rutland,
who commenced by eulogising in special
manner the beauties OF our quiet town and
its desireablness as q place OF residence
compared with the more thronging
thoroughfares OF the country. 1t was, he
sire to visit our village, and the ideal Graf
ton which he had pictured in his mind was
realized in the town as he found it, except
that our hills were little higher, our fields
little greener, the water from our springs
little purer and the village little more
costly situated than in the Grafton of his
fancy.
Proceeding he touched briefly upon our
colonial and revolutionary history, and
coming further down he dwelt more at
length on the history of the men and times
of tho second war Of independence, when
the freedom which had been achieved In
sevehty-six was perpe.uated with the blood
and lives of the brave soldiers whom we
had assembled to honor.
Following the orator of the day Major
Rounds of Chester spoke briefly and eo-
quently, calling upon the parents OF these
times to tell their children the story of the
struggle which commenced fifteen years
ago.
After the exercises at the grove the
the procession formed and proceeded to
the cemetery, where the beautiful cere-
mony of decorating the graves OF the fallen
brave was performed, J.H.P.

READING NOTICES.
NEW ENGLAND AXLE,
Brandon, vt.

To the Pubic =
The following testimonial is one of many
others that seem to give decided prefer
ence in the matter of sxles. The New
England axle seems fast becoming a favor
lite over all others, and not long must it be
before we all must feel that the New Eng
land axle is far superior to any in the mar
ket; for ono having such decided advan-
tagc over others can not help but meet the
approval OF the public.
Read the following testim onial OF NJ. D..
Smith, NJ. d., of Addison, Vermont:
Sometime ago / purchased OF Calico
Bessett, Of Orwell, VT. buggy with the
New England axle attached, and having
had 1t in constant use since the purchase.
and with such decided advantages as l
have found in its use over other axles, 7
cannot but do my duty to myself and the
axle than by saying to the public that it is
a fact, that no axle has afforded me more
pleasure than that Of the New England,
simply for the reasons that 1t takes not
more than one-half az much oil as ordi-
nary axles that | am rid Of unscrewing
dirty, gummy and oily nuts, avoiding, in
all, long and tedious job, as well as dis
agreeable one. feel that the pleasure
have myself derived from using this axle,
should find its way to the public in
general.

Murray's Dramatic Troupe.

John Murrsy's dramatic company opened
short season at the town hall last even
ing. Owing to the delay Of their train and
the non-appearance of music engaged in
in Rutland, they were not able to present
their play-the famous "Ticket-of-Leave
would have liked. These facts Mr.. Muir
ray explained to the audience, and showed
that he was not only fine actor, but
gentleman Of uncommon pluck in going
on with his play amid difficulties.
The acting was fine throughout and
stamped the troupe as first-class dra'
matte company in every respect, and
worthy the patronage Of the most intelli-
gent people of Rutland. From first to last
1t was thoroughly acted. The audience
were carried along by the strength Of the
acting alone.
NJ. Murray's "Robert Briefly is a
studied, conscientious piece Of acting-no'
sensational nor clap-trap. The second ana
third acts were tAe severest test of an
actors abilities, aid these Mr.. Murray
went through triumphsntly.
Miss Grace Lillian played MAY Ed
wards" very effectively. She is evidently
an actress of training and experience, and
performed the trying scenes of the play
gracefully and with feeling and express on.
Her acting is as far removed from the Or
binary sensational ranting too often heard
in the country as is Mr.. Murrayi.
The support was all excellent, but
especial mention should be made of w. A.
Chrystal for his careful and judicious rem
dering Of Hawkshaw, and of Miss Ella
Flag for her jolly, vivacions rendering of
Sam Willoughby.
Tonight the troupe play Mr.. Murray's
" Estranged," with Mr.. Murray and Miss
Lillian In the principal parts. We bespeak
for them a full house. They richly de-
serve it, and the citizens of Rutland will
not only be discouragng thoroughly
praiseworthy and artistic troupe but mis-
sing n rare chance TO see some excellent
acting IL they neglect it. The play o.
" Estranged is of an emoti) nal character
and contains fine decoration day scene
1t was written by Mr.. Murray, and il
adapted to the company it has had q ca
success wherever presented, ard is highly
spoken of by the press everywhere. Among
the parts are two for small children, which
Invariably touch an audience. An eflicien
orchestra has been engaged, and the play
will be presented with fine and appropriate
scenery.
Tickets may be secured at Meeker'
music store.
