A prominent landlord named Burke
and his dragOOn escort were shot dead
at Abraham near GOrt. Mr.. Burke was
riding in front of his escort when IA vol
ley from rifles was fired at them from
behind wall and both fell dead. Mr..
Burke was magistrate and son of the
late crown solicitor for Mayo. He pos
sessed two estates in Ireland, one at
Curraleagh and the other at Rahasane.
He has had several disputes with his
tenants, and had recently left London
to carry out evictiOns. He took active
part i'll the prosecution of Father Con-
way some years ago, and few months
ago entered the church at CarrarO arm
ed with a repeating rifle while mass
was being celebrated. The priest or
dered him to leave the church and he
escaped by side door i'll order to
avoid being mObbed. Mr.. Burke re-
Gently informed the authorities that
he knew he would be shot. When the
news of his murder reached London,
his brother went into the lobby of the
Commons and accused Mr.. Parnell
and Mr.. Biggar of being the cause of
the crime. Three persons have been
arrested on suspicion of having been
implicated in the crime.
The bullet that killed Mr.. Burke
entered his head behind the left ear.
The dragoon who was escOrting him
received three shots. One person saw
the assassins, but cannot identify
them. OF the three men arrested one
is named Martin Keene and the two
others are named Holland. One of the
latter is an evicted tenant The sold
ier's rifle and Mr.. Burke's IL repeater
were stolen 10y the murderers. The
coroner's jury have returned verdict
of willful murder.

Died i'm Prison.

w. w. Gilman, a notorious horse
thief, died of pneumonia in prison the
3D., and was buried in the prison lot in
the cemetery. Gilman was first con-
victed of horse stealing at Rutland,
Oct. 8, 1861, and sentenced to term
of five years. He was discharged Oct.
Z, 1866, and within three months after
wards was again sentenced, at Wood
stock for the same crime for a term of
ten years. By good behavior his term
was shortened about fourteen months,
and he was discharged the second
time Sept. 10, 1875. His love for the

WatchInan "FactS."

Those facts have at last appeared.
Not very long ago the Montpelier
Waterman felt called upon to twit the
CdledOnian of being hypOcritical in
pretending to be in favor of reform in
politics when it said nothing about the
evasion of the tax law i'll St. Johns
bury. The irrelevancy of the argu-
ment was not lost sight of, but the
CaledOnidn replied that it did not know
of any fraud in the matter of taxes, and
did not believe the Waterman did !;
but if it did, it had better publish the
facts than to insinuate a crime against
the people of neighbOring town.
WhereupOn the Waterman brings for
ward the following in its last weeks
issue:
We know that the local press has
had much to say of listing frauds and
evasions of the new tax law, and gen
tlemen of standing and intelligent
Judgment in such matters i'll private
conversation say the allegations seem
W DC StlSldllltA ny lllt liNiSs
things that have been charged directly
interest the CGledOnidn, and it is silent
under charges that, if unfounded, it
should make haste to refute.
This is the first that we have heard
that the "Iocal press" has Lad anything
to say of listing frauds in st. Johns
bury, and the Waterman must have
got its information from either mis-
chievous, enviOus or malicious parties
who live outside of st. JOhnsbury. In
regard to things charged that directly
interest the CGledOnidH," and the 81
lence that implies guilt, we are free to
say that the Waterman has the add
vantage of us again we do not know
what it means. If the CaledOnidR has
not "made haste to refute charges" at
all times, it is because they were APP
parently too frivolous or malicious to
need refutation. The man kicked by
IA jackass, did MT get up and ''refute
the charge :" he simply considered
where it came from"
But the Waterman brings forward
still more ''facts," giving what purports
to be the real estate valuation of the
two towns Montpelier and st. Johns
bury and the personal property as
sessed III these towns, and comes to the
following result:
With nearly double the population,
| five times the area i'll valuable farming
lands, and the largest manufacturing
industries in the state, with all the ad-
ditional wealth, real and personal, that
these these things imply, st. Johns
bury had real estate appraisal more
than Sl4, 900 less and personal prop
erty appraisal more than S67O,OOO less
than Montpelier.
This is a clinclier. 1t may show that
Montpelier listers put in their real es-
tate too high or that st. Johnsbury
| listers put theirs in too low-Or it may
show neither. Are Montpelier listers
the standard for all state listers tC
work by ? As regards personal prop
erty, every one knows that Montpelier
is made up principally of Rothschilds
to whom the whole state has had tC
pay tribute ever since the capital was
located there. If st. Johnsbury has
not as much money as its neighbol, il
| don't like to be twitted of it.

The Great Strikes.

The Pittsburg strike covers l25 iron
mills with 24I5 furnaces. Seven mills

their readers believe that Vermont pol
tiles is remarkable for its purity. The
opposite Impression is gaining ground,

If there was any way of reading the
man Buell., who is connected with the
Washington Critic, ont of the hOnOra-
bile profession of journalism, it would
he taken advantage of after his exhibit
ton before Il Senate investigating com
mittee. He admitted libeling certain
well-known newspaper men, but ''did
not desire to have it supposed for IA
moment that he had alluded to them
in any spirit of malice, but only in a
spirit of Joking" Such fellow is
about as amusing as Guiteau, and fully
as pestiferous. Buell. is a type of bush
whacker who is happily becoming very
scarce, even on the outskirts of journal
ism. His ''fun" smacks more of the
knave than the fool Springfield Re
publican.
The Republican is altogether too san
guine. These journalistic Guiteaus are
increasing in Vermont. Their number
has been doubled i'll this county the
past wear Nevertheless the Republi-
cans conclusion is correct, and the
verdict of all honorable men is the
same.

PILOT COMMISSIONERS.
A Brief Session and a Resolution DeI
ing Published Reports Passed.

A Brief Session and Resolution Deny |
ing Published Reports Passed.
The Pilot Commissioners held meeting
in the office of B. +. Townsend, Secretary of
the board to-day. All the members were
present excepting L. A. Lyons, of Lewes.
Capt Verdin, one of the oldest pilots, was
present, but was unable to stay or give any
extended account of the difficulty of which
the Philadelphia papers complain. The
Captain however, said that he only knew of
one pilot whom vessels refused to take on,
and he was scallawag in every particular,
and in bad repute among the other pilots
The man referred to would not pay his dues
and share of expenses, was drinking man,
and generally unreliable.
The Commissioners passed resolution de-
nouncing the reports in Philadelphia papers
concerning the non-taking-of Of pilots, as
untrue.
Very little other business was transacted
but the Commissioners say that when
licenses for pilots are renewed, in June, the
man complained of as unworthy will moi
receive another license under the Delaware
laws.
By the Delaware laws the pilots are onl,
obliged to license from Cape Henlopen south
west. 1t was thought probable that tht
Commissioners would request the pilots t.
go 20 miles beyond the limits prescribed BY
law.
The commissioners expressed satisfaction
at the action of Judge McKenna, in TIN
United States Circuit Court, Philadelphia
on Saturday, sustaining the decisions 0
