RUTLAND, Oct. 12.-Court convened at
2 p. m. The case of the Crescent Insur-
ance company against the New England
Fire Insurance company was heard on de-
murrer and decision was reserved. w.
l.. Burnap and A. f. Walker for plaintiff;
j. G. Baker and +. NJ. Butler for defend
ant. Court adjourned until 8 a. m. Tues
day morning at which time the case of the
United States against Edward A. Sowles
is set for trial.
The charge against eX-President Sowles
of the First National bank of st. Adams,
which closed its doors a year and half
ago, is that of violating the national bank
ing laws in mlsrepresenting his
owR Indebtedness to the bank in
January, 1888, to Bank Examiner
Hendee. The government claims that
| SOwles was a creditor of the bank to
the extent of $4,000, while the law does
| not allow more than $4,000 to be loaned
to one individual. 1t is claimed that Just
| before the examination of the bank for
| an extension of its charter in January,
| 1854, Sowles secured four accommodation
notes of 5000 each from friends, which he
| substituted for his own at the bank re-
turning them when the examination was
| over.
| 1t is claimed that by this alleged subst-
| tuition Of fictitious paper of the SowleS
notes the bank examiner was deceived as
| to the real debtor of the bank, whereas if
the facts of the case had been ascertalned
and reported the First National bank
would not have obtained Il renewal of
| their charter for two years.
The Indictment in the Case of f. A.
| Sowles Held to be Insufficient
| RUTLAND, Oct. 13. Judge Wheeler
handed down his decision to day in the
case of Crescent Insurance company vs..
the New England Fire Insurance com
pany, overruling the demurrer and giving
the defendant leave to replead In the
| case of the United States against Edward
A. Sowles, the defendant filed demurrer
to the Indictment which was argued by
District Attorney Hasklns for the United
States and Col. A. +. Walker for respond
ent. The latter argued that there was no
averment in the indictment that false en-
tries were made on the books, or wherein
| the notes in question were fictitious. Col.
| HaSkins claimed that the gist of the Of
| fence was in deceiving the bank examiner
and in making Il false entry to deceive :;
and that the notes We're fraudulent; and
that entering false notes constituted the
misdemeanOr under the law. The court
sustained the demurrer, and held that the
| indictment was insufficient. The court
then adjourned until Thursday at ,
O'Clock.

EIoped With the Wrong Girl.

On little farm nearly in sight of the

ward of two years her senior. Both of
these have beaus whom their stern old
father and uncle do not approve Of The
lover of No. and his sweetheart, unbe-
known to the other parties, had made all
arrangements to steal off in the still of
the night and get married. This was also
the plan of the contracting parties No. 3.
The ladder was hid back of the garden
for the purpose of scaling the walls at
the proper time. In the beWitchinC hours
of the night when the graveyards vawn.
lover No. l placed the ladder TO the
window of girl No. 2. The night was
dark just at that time. She made her exit
out OF the window and into the arms of
her supposed knight, and was hurried off
to the carriage near by. Not a word was
spoken as along the ramparts (the old
mans back lane) they hurried. The car
riage was gained and the lash was ap-
plled 10 the horses. When they arrived at
the preachers house, who,was waiting to
tie the knot, the gallant knight then dis
covered that he had got the wrong girl.
VI course there were some salts and in
ward cuss words, and the tug of war
came-hOw to get the weeping girl back
undiscovered. Lover No. 2 met with an
accident by running his buggy against a
post and carrying away his port wheel,
and failed that night to arrive at the
house. The old man has bought S13 gun,
and is nightly in ambush for the raiders.

Fatal PIaY Between Soldiers.

LONDON, Feb. S.-While two soldiers
were skylarking at WoOlwich arsenal
to-day one of them was fatally bayOneted
by the other. The occurrence gave rise to
rumors that another dynamite outrage
had been attempted.
Another account Of the bayOneting saws:
"A private soldier on guard duty last night
saw man advancing toward his post and CON
manded him to halt and give the counter
sign. Ihe stranger neither halted nor replied
but attempted TO walk past the guard line
The sentinel thereupOn plunged his bayonet
into the mans body, killing him almost in
stantly:" An account of this occurrence
reached London to-day aud was exaggerated
into a sensational report that dynamiters had
made an attack on the arsenal. An investi-
CATION shows that the man who attempted to
run the guard was also a soldier and a COM
rade OF ithe sentinel whom he had Uried to
annoy by a silly practical Joke.

WASHINGTON IMPRESSIONS.
Bayard, Lamar, Money and Garland as
Prospective Cabinet Omcers.


Prospective Cabinet Omcers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Mr.. Cleveland's
conference in New York with Democratic
Senators and Representatives from Wash
ington was the principal subject of con-
versatiOn among politicians at the capital
to-day. The greatest importance is at
tached to Mr.. Lamar's visit and the long
talk he is reported to have had with the
President-elect. While the general i'm
preston prevails that Mr.. Bayard has
been informed that he can be Secretary of
State, the fact that he wants the Treasury
Department has caused the name of the
Senator from Mississippi to be yerv
prominently mentioned in connection
With the Department of Foreign Affairs.
Senator Lamar has not hesitated to ex-
press his opinion that the South should
not seek recognition in Mr.. CIeyeIand's
Cabinet, but should be entirely content
with whatever ne may offer that section
in the makeup Of his advisory council.
1t is remarked that the greater number
OF names suggested to the President-elect
for Cabinet offices yesterday are those OF
Southern gentlemen. While Senator
Lamar has declared that he would not
accept Cabinet office for several reasons,
one being that another citizen of his
State, MIR. Money, is in the field, it is
no secret that the Senator from Missis-
sippi believes that Senator Garland is the
best qualified man in the party for Attor-
ney General. The South would be amply
satisfied if it could be assured of repre-
sentation in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet by
the two offices of Postmaster General and
ATTORNEY General

West INDIAN Recinrnoitv.

LONDON. Feb. S.-The recommendation
of Earl OF Derby, Secretary for the Colo
nies, in favor of the acceptance of the
proposal of the United States government,
looking to a reciprocity arrangement
with the British West Indies, has been
practically rejected by the British Cab
met. No formal decision has been ar
rived at, but the majority of Ministers are
opposed to the acceptance ofthe proposals
on the ground that the advantages offered
the British West Indies are doubtful
in view of the probability of similar trea-
ties being concluded by the United States
with Cuba and Brazil. One section OF
the Cabinet is also influenced by the
consideration that such an arrangement
with the United States would be a breach
of the principles of free trade.
