Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-09-08

to the memory of comrade John Hunt
of Westmore. The following pream-
BILE and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, the Almighty has seen fit to
remove by death one of our most esteem
ed and worthy members, comrade John
Hunt, and whereas we desire in some
suitable manner to pay tribute to his
memory, therefore,
ResOl0ed, That while we bow in humble
submission to His will, we nevertheless
feel that the Post sustains great loss in
the death of one whose record as sol.
der, worth as a citizen and faithfulness
as member, made him such man as we
delight to honor and whose virtues we can
emulate, if not reach.
ResolUed, That the heartfelt sympathy
of the Post be extended to the stricken
family, and that copy of these resolu-
tions be handed them, also that they be
spread upon the records of the Post and
published in the MONITOR.
BURGLARY AND SAFE ROBBERY
During the night of the End inst. en-
trance was made into the depot,
through the freight room and thence
through a small window to the ticket
room where the Express Cos safe
was kept, and the safe opened with
out injury, the door being found
open in the morning. The presump-
ton is that somebody in some mystic
rious way Dissolved the combination
of the lock and opened the safe.
There was, as near as can be ascer-
tanned. 81 900 in the safe in national
currency, also a small amount of
small currency and one gold piece
which was not taken. There was no
damage done to anything about the
building or in the office. Mr.. A. o.
Clement, who is both express agent
and depot master left the office about
IL o'clock and locked his safe as usu-
al. There were no suspicious persons
about the depot and Mr.. Clement has
nothing from which to obtain a clew
to the thief. During the summer he
has noticed more strangers about the
depot than he has done before and
there are few circumstances that indi-
cate they have been lying about for the
purpose of getting into the office.
The railroad money was kept in the
safe and nearly all of the stolen
funds belonged to the company. The
Express Co. loses a small amount.
We do not see as any blame can be
attached to Mr.. Clement as he used
the safe with the knowledge and con-
sent of both companies and locked
his safe and the depot as usual. The
family living in the upper part of the
depot building heard some noise in
the night but nothing to arouse sus-
pIcion. The work must have been
done sometime between one and four
o'clock in the morning.
Local interest was such on Tues
day that every voter who could be
got to the polls was out. The demo-
Gratis polled large vote and j. G.
Burke, democratic nominee for rep
ran ahead of his ticket
but could not overcome the deter
mined opposition. j. E. Chamber
lin, the successful candidate, receiv-
ed the full vote of his party in his
section of the town, and almost the
entire strength of his party in the
end.
