Hon. J. L. BurstOw, governor of Vermont, In
a letter addressed TO the manufacturers and
patcn,ecs of the Baldwin dry refrigerator"
states as follows: "That he first bought the
best refrigerator he could find, and that this
summer he has tested 1t side by side with the
Baldwin dry air refrigerator, and carefully
compared their merits. 81 find" he says,
THAT with the same amount of Ice in each
yours is from 50 to 10 colder In all Its COM
pnrtmcnts, and that the ice lasts nearly twice
as long He further adds that "thc dryncss
of n refrigerator Is almost as important rs Its
GOODNESS. Tested in this respect by placing
four ounces of stone lime In the bottom of each,
II was Stacked to fine by absorption of moisture
in the old one In forty hours, while in
the Baldwin dry air 1t was not 30 reduced In
eight days"
Added force attaches to the above facts
when the character of the author is consid-
cred, as Gov Barstow is known to be IA man
quite conservative as to the use of his name
as u reference.
Mr.. Elphonzo Youngs who has been made
the sole agent for this section Tor the BALD
win Dry Air, :" states that his agency Is the in.
cdcntal result of q thorough canvass of the
different kinds of refrigcrators in use In the
stores and hotels of Philadelphia and New
York, with view TO obtaining the very best
refrigerator for his "big new store" here, Mr.
Ioungs now has two in practical operation In
his store, one large groccrs' size ard one
family size, both of which demonstrate con
cusively the claim of superiority as to SIM
plicity of construction, economy in the use
of ice, and the remarkable preserving quail.
ties by applying absolutely circulating dry air
The ingenious construction of the "store
style" whereby the dealer Is enabled TO in
stantly throw ont the butter counter" leav-
ing the refrigerator closed, is II feature that
will interest all who sell butter, and hotel
keepers as well. In the use of this refrigerator
with the patent 'buttcr counter" 1t Is rem
dered as easy to display and cut tub of butter
as 1t is to display and cut cheese from any
store counter.
Mr.. Ioungs says that he has hardly had an
opportunity, since receiving these goods, to
advise these public in regard 10 them, and yet
he is making frequent and numerous sales,
owing to the fact that the merits are SO ap-
parent.

RAILROAD LITIGATION.
The Baltimore and Potomac Must Go to Trial
for nAmaglng Property.

In August, 1888, Mcssrs. Hagner Il Maddox
and L. q. Hine, as attorneys for different par
ties residing on Virginia and Maryland ave-
nues and intersectng streets in southwest
Washington, entered Il number OF suits against
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad company,
claiming damages to their property caused by
the running of trains, Standing Of cars on the
tracks, sc. Among the suits entered were the
following: James f. Morgan, for 100000 VIM.
4. Walker, $1,000; james ii. johnson, $1,000;
Charles j.. Church, $1,000: Charles b. Church,

Sarah G. Richards, 5000; VIM g. Hamburger,
5000 Henry NJ. Knight $1,000; Charles G..
Anderson. 5000, nnd Susan Fitzgerald, 5000,
making Il total OF clB3,OJW damages claimed In
these seventeen suits.
Subsequently Col. Enoch Totem appearing
for the railroad company, filed separate de,
murrcr to each suit and argument was had
. thereon during the final trial days of the last
term of the circuit court. The demurrer
claimed that the property alleged TO have been
4 injured was not sufficiently described, and
| that the plaintiffs described injuries TO the
| public instead of personal nature. Justice
| HagnCr yesterday delivered his decision and
| preiHccd it by stating TINT as he had, In pre-
| viOus case, expressed himself 1t was pretty
| well understood rs TO his view Of the liability
| of the road to damages in property bought and
| sustained suits, and further that the court in
| general term had, in two cases, sustained the
| position taken by him. As to the misdCscrip.
ton of The property he did not think it sulil.
| CicRt to inyalidute the declaration. Neither
did he think the point raised as to 1t bengA
/ public injury valid one. In the case of G.
| b. Church for $4,000 damages, he held the
demurrer to be good, but ovcrrued II rs to the
! others and in the one sustained the plaintiffs
| We're given time to amend their declaration.
Nothing remains now, but to 60 to trial and Us
there are sixteen cases declared good II Is
| likely that the railroad company will be
called upon the coming fall to participate in u
, lively litigation.

The case Of Theron G. Crawford and others

TO The Editor.
The statements OF DR.. Jolly in your paper Of
this morning in regard to me are false as also
is Skaters claim that he Is a creditor of Bets.
On the Sunday after Belts died was trying to
get Jolly and Shaifer to send Betts's personal
effects to his wife. ShaiIcr claimed that Belts
owed him and Jolly / said, "Bctts owes mo
much more than he owes to both Of you, but
shall claim nothing, and want his widow TO
have his personal effects" had Just written
telegram informing Mrs Belts that would send
Col. Betts's remains home, and assuring her Of
my sympathy. Shlier said: LET me have
tho telegram; have Col. BcttSs money: will
send IT, At that time did not suspect they
intended to rob their friends widow, and
gave him the telegram. He and Jolly went oil
together in Jolly's buggy, and sent telegram
from Jolly, but none from me. Bctts was seen
shortly before he died In company with DR..
! Jolly with large amount OF money on MS
person. Shailcr was with him when he died
on saturday Jolly telegraphed his widow on
Monday DO nothing In regard to the estate
