said j. w. Fisher is not guilty of said
charges as set forth, and had the proof
been brought out on the trial as therein
stated in said affidavits, we should have
voted against said charges, and we desire
this to be made record of to entirely ex-
honorate J. w. Fisher, as far as we can to

In August, 1875, and during the time of
the impeachment trial of ex-Alderman J.
W. Fisher, l was member of the Com
mon Council of the city of ST. Paul, as in
Dictated by my vote at the close of said
trial. I did not find any of the charges of
the complaint against said Fisher sus-
tanned by the testimony, except as to
charge No. 5, upon which the testimony of
but one witness, think, was presented,
which testimony, in my opinion, at the
time, sustained the charge. 1 therefore
voted guilty upon this charge, but did so
reluctantly and with much regret, inasmuch
| as I had always entertained high opinion
of the accused-of his integrity as well as
of his efficiency as a public officer. 1t
affords me the more pleasure, in Mr.. Fish
er's behalf, and 1 do not hesitate to say, in
justice to him, that facts which have come
to my knowledge since the time of and
soon after said trial, lead me to believe
that in the outcoming of that trial q great
wrong has been committed against Mr..
Fisher. T. WILLIUs.

The Business OF the Village
WiDed Ont

"IDeu Out.
On Sabbath morning, about three
o'clock, fire broke ont in the Cushman
two hours that mill, saw-mill con-
nected, the rake-factory of Smith &
Galbraith, and the Touring mill of Z.
| Il. & ii. X. Ide, were all totally de-
strOyed. This included all the manu-
featuring of the village. After fighting
the fire for about one hour, a mes
senger was despatched to st. Johns
bury, where an alarm was sounded,
and a portion of the fire department
responded with Torrent engine, but
before the engine had gone far, tele
phonic message announced that the
fire had spent itself and help of that
nature would be of no avail.
The fire was discovered about the
chimney of the pulp-mill by two men
who were in the building cleaning
up" after the workmen had quit at
twelve o'clock. The men went for
help, but it was so long before people
could be aroused that the mill was
completely in flames before much help
arrived. The flames spread to the
saw-mill, then to the rake-factOry and
thence to the grist-mill, where the fire
was stopped. Considerable stock in
the mill was saved, and nearly all the
machinery and stock i'll the rake-fac-
tory might have been saved had not
Mr.. Galbraith locked the doors and
urged the people to spend their ener-
gies in saving the building instead OF
removing the contents.
The pulp-mill was owned by George
Cushman of Passumpsic and Francis
a. Cushman of Lebanon, n H., and
was insured, building and machinery,
for 5000, which amount will replace
the plant, yet their loss is considerable
rake factory was owned by Hugh
Smith and Walter Galbraith, and there
was no insurance on either building OF
contents. Their loss must he between
two and three thousand dollars, and ii
falls heavily upon men who are little
able to bear it. The loss of E. II. n
! II. X. Idle will reach $4,000, and theil
insurance is $4,000. Jacob Ide, the
father of the owners of the mill, and
the owner before them, was present at
the fire and worked hard in saving
property. He came to PassumpsiC
seventy years ago, and his father be-
fore him was the miller at this sam,
mill.
The fire evidently caught from III
heated chimney or stove funnel.
1t is not known if any of the works
destroyed will he rebuilt 1t is al
excellent water-power, and there il
talk that large pulp-mill company
may purchase the entire power. Ii
any event it is quite blow to the
business prosperity of the little village
of Passumpsic, which had for the las
year or two been "picking up" con
siderably. About dozen men will
families are thrown out of employ
ment.

A Uniform Standard Of Time.

At the present time there are two
standards of time i'll use in this place
the standard adopted this week by
both railroads and the postoffice and
the one that has been in use heretofore.
This state of affairs will cause confus-
ion a. long rs it Is so. There is really
no good reason why all other interests
should not follow suit and secure a
uniform standard. If all the clocks
and watches were set back at once, no
one would Ice able to perceive the diff
ference. \ mental calculation when
one wants To know when trains arrive
aud leave and mails arrive and close
is an Inconvenience, to say the least.
The object to Ice secured 10y the adOp-
ton of the new standard is an excellent
one and, as the movement has been
inaugurated, the only way to secure a
uniform time is to adopt the new stand
ard. This might he readily accom-
pliShed. The town clock should be at
once set back to correspond with the
railroad time, unquestionably the cor
porations would soon follow suit. and
the matter would Ice settled.
Some definite particulars in regard
to the new standard are given in al
article on the fourth page. 1t will b,
seen that almost the entire railroad
interests of Vermont have adopted til,
new time. The authorities of st. Al
bans have wisely concluded not to hav,
two standards, and have set the town
