Bold but Unsuccessful Attempt to Bur-

Bold but Unsuccessful Attempt to Bur-
glarize Store.
The storeroom of VIM Chiefly was bur
glarized last night and the safe blown open.
An entrance was Effected by prying open
tie door on the north side of the building
with jimmy. The safe was evidently
blown by the use of nitro-glycerine. The
burglars were frightened away before they
81 ccceded in getting any booty, by Mr..
Cowan, who was returning from a ball in
town. He happened to be passing the store
at the time and saw a light and heard the
explosion. He gave the alarm and
aroused Mr. Chiefly, who boards
in the adjoining building, end
when he got to the store room he found it
on FIRE and with the assistance of others the
flames were extinguished. There was about
fifty dollars in the safe. The burglars left
a Jimmy and two chisels behind them and
fed without procuring any valuables. The
building had a narrow escape from being
destroyed by fire as the flames from the
material used in the explosion had almost
reached an oil tank in an adjoining room.

There is one man who will be supremely
happy when these troublous times Of
.orchigbts and fireworks are over and gone.
hat man is Chief Marshal Dunning, Of the
ire department When one comes to look
At it. it is really marvellous that in the
midst of the profnse and reckless fireworks
here have been no fires Take aglance at
political procession, and you will see that
rockets and candles are fired with reck-
ess disregard of consequences. Who ever
'toks to see where the cleaning ball of fire
rom his Roman candle is going to strike?
i hen a rocket is sent soaring and corus-
..ating into the heavens, who ever thinks
ahere the stick will fall? 1t is truly won
.!crful that we have had neither fire nor &C
cident this campaign.

But Chief Dunning has been prepared.
Nhen he knew there was to be parade,
he men had special orders to be in readi-
ness and on the alert to pounce on the first
blaze that should show its head. A man
asked Chief Dunning to go to the Capitol,
)nce and see the parade; but he declined on
ne ground that he was afraid to leave the
nngine house. There have been no fires
out had there been, Mr.. Dunning and his
good force would have been ready. This is
as it should be, Mr.. Dunning.

N saying, West Virginia be damned.
lust before the election, however, Repubi-
can papers spoke of "our growing and glo-
.ious little Mountain State" 1t has been
remarked about the city that the tune Of
he Hon. James G. Blaine has also changed
ince he left here. He told US, softly and
,weetly, of our beautiful and productive
State, and now in Indiana he refers to our
State as a chunk of stubborn and rebel

Council seems to have very easy con-
science on the subject of city finances.
Since the voters knocked the loan ordinance
west and crooked, the situation has only in
tensifed, but Council has done nothing.
The incoming taxes will furnish ready
money for current expenses and will pay off
he maturing bonds as they accrue, but the
outstanding orders pile up slowly and
know not that their redeemer liveth. But
The worst of it is that the Council doe3 not
,eem in the least hurry 10 consider the
question of a financial reform, which is
really the most important matter just now.
Once the people begin to see Council on the
right track, they will vote loan. But what
a turning over there will be at the polls in
January!

Howard was an exemplary one. During the
past eighteen years that she has survived her
husband she has professionally cared for Che
sick and afflicted; and outside of the imme-
date circle of friends aud acquaintances she
has been the good Samaritan in many fami-
lies who will recall many memories of her
kind and genial ways, as the news of her
death reaches them. Her age was 81 years

From the Journals City Article, 22d.1
The butter market has not changed in any impor-
tant particular within week, but receipts not
large as at this time last year. and dealers have to draw
upon stored supplies. Choice summer-made creAme-
ry ranges from 20 to SOC. Most winter made dairy
butter sells at IS to 24c.
There is not an apparent weak spot in the cheese
situation. There is excitement but fair, steady
movement, and confident talk Of the future. Large
lots of fine fall factory command 1877 to 14c jobbing
lots. 14S to l5c.
The bean market holds strong. Since jan. 1st there
has been gain Of 10 to 10 cents bushe and it is
eved tbs highest point has not been reached yet.
The stock Of domestic beans is small, and as ship
ments from abroad have been stopped the supply will
soon fall of. Choice hand-pcked pea command 81 80
to s2eO per bushel and best Northern So. Choice
diums are $2.55 to S265 bushel, with small lots at
10 10 cents more. Yellow-eyes, rs to $3.50.
The potato market continues well supplied, and the
sales range from 48 to SOC. bushel by the carload
The cold weather has made eggs very scarce, and
wholesale lots selling at "a to 35c per dozen
and jobbing lots of nev-laid go higher.
Owing to light receipts, green apples 25 to &c.
barrel higher than last week. but large lots would not
be likely to command this advance. Country shippers
must not expect $3.50 per barrel for No. Bald
wins, though fancy varieties may go little high
er Dealers get 81 $3.50, and &c. barrel. Very
little export demand. Dried apples attracting
attention, and Eastern quartered and sliced command
to lOc pound; evaporated, IL to &c., as to quality.

towns, but instead will produce new play
here when they get good ready.

2'V MADISON AVENUE,
New York, January Is, 1884.
Hon. JAMES BARRETT, Rutland Vermont
Ny Dear Sir In reply to your very kind
letter, beg to say, have noticed that sew
eral papers of the state, with illusions alto.
gether too fatering, have prominently con
nected my name with the next gubernatoria
election. 1t is hardly modest for a man to
decline an Office before it is rendered, yet
trust ] may be pardonsd in saying thus early
that | am not a candidate aud have not the
slightest desire for any political Office what
ever aud cannot under any circumstances al
low my name to be used in connection with
the gubernatorial nomination.
Aside from my own feelings in the matter
there would be, if not au improperly, GER
tainly great inconvenience in putting a man
in that office who for business purposes and
education of children has his winter resi-.
dence here in New York. The time of the
Governor belongs to the state and, though
the work of his office is very moderate, he
can find many ways outside of his strictly
technical duties to promote the interests and
good name of the commonwealth. In this
respect, and in all respects, q Governor would
be much more useful and the office much
more honorable If we could get rid OF the
one-term rule. II that rule is to be insisted
on so long as the Governor is elected for two
years, why not change the constitution and
get back to annual elections? Then the Gov
ernor holding Office for two years would have
the opportunity of two Legislatures for car
rying out any policy he might deem for the
public good. Now the Governor meets a leg
islature whose members, like himself, are
generally elected for one term, and when the
next legislature meets he goes out of office.
This cheapens the executive place and expos
es the state to crude legislation.
When the constitutional change was made,
thought it wise one but, under the work
ing of the biennial system. the old way was
better, aud l shall be glad when the people
of Vermont, divided by the Green mountain
range, and not coming together often enough,
again send up their representatives to the
capitol every year. And then | shall be still
more glad if, in filing high offices, they will
altogether forget the mountain range, think
never of locality but only of worth and fit
ness, and never be in haste TO make changes
when worth and fitness are found.
Thanking you and all other friends mos
heartily for kind expressions
| am sincerely yours,
FREDERICK BILLINGS.
