PERRIGO RECAPTURED.
The Desperate Safely Lodged in jail
The story of His Escape and Capture.

The story of His Escape and Capture.
Deputy Sheriff w. II. Gleason of Chica-
go arrived here on the 4:40 train Friday
having in custody the desperate Wilbur
Perrigo. He was at once taken to jail,
manacled, locked in a solitary cell, and
the door double-locked and barred where
he will remain until the County Court
decides what shall be done with him.
Perrigo is resigned and ready to stand
trial, so much so that he expressed him.
without a requisition.
According to Perrigo the story of his
escape is as follows: He and Barabe es-
capped from the Jail about o'clock in the
morning in the manner already published
and went directly to Malletts bay, follow
ing the lake shore to Milton and reaching
the heavy timber back of the Colchester
depot about Z o'clock. They took pro
visions with them, so they were able
to remain secreted there during the
day. They pursued their way the next
night, but their course was SLOW, OelhS
obliged to swim one stream ana following
the tortuous shore of the lake. They pass
ed the second night little beyond st.
Adams, and the following day
their provisions ran low and Bar
n,.be Ventured OFT from their hiding
place and bought some bread at
farm house. This venture resulted favor
ably and from that point there is Il blank
in the narrative until they reached Mon
treal. In that city Barnabe was migrate
tul enough to steal what little spare
change Perrigo had. The latter had no
choice but to work his passage to some
more distant place and he accordingly EN-
barked for England but upon arriving at
his destination he could not content nm
self so he returned to Montreal on the
same steamer.
He spent but II short time in Montreal
| and started for Chicago to which place ne
also worked his way. There he obtained
some slight employment, and he was, IN
constant communication with his mother
who kept him informed as to what was
going on in this city.
The story of his capture is simple one.
Sheriff Barton had kept II constant
watch for any clue that would lead to the
discovery of Perrigo's address one day
| last week he learned that Perrigo's moth
er had left package at the express office
| to be sent one York IN Chicago. lie
rightly conjectured that York was his man
and Immediately tclegraphed the authorl-
! ties at Chicago to arrest the man that
should call for the package giving at the
same time Il minute description of Perrlgo'
The unsuspectng fugitive called for the
package. which contained Il suit OF
clothes lat about II O'Clock at night, giving
his name as York. He was confronted at
once by the officers, and upon their show
ing him the sherff's description he &C
| knowledged that he was the man. The
necessary arrangements were made and
Deputy Sheriff Gleason started with him
for this city. PerrigO's case will probably

THE UNIVERSITY MUSEUM.
Handsome Gift of Indian Relics.

Our townsman, f. b. Taft, Esq, has
done very handsome thing by purchas-
ing and presenting to the University the
very fine collection of Indian relics made
by Mr. p G. Deming formerly of Milton,
now of Minneapolis, MINI. The gift is of
importance because the collection includes
many very fine and rare specimens nearly
all OF which were found in the neighbor-
hood of Milton. Among the finest OBJ
jectS which it contains are acOpper gouge,
the largest and finest copper implement
ever found in Vermont and scarcely equal
led by any North American specimen,
several copper spear points, some very
beautifully polished 'bauner stones, >"
make; drills and knives of elegant col
ored and veined flint, quartz and Jasper,
several hundred spear and arrow points,
some of them of very unique form a large
stone mortar several pestles and other
objects. In all there are over thousand
specimens and they are of especial value
to the museum, since they make not only
a very noticeable addition to the collection
already there, but also supplement in a
very interesting manner the magnificent
collection which Mrs. A. b. Halbert gave
to the college some time ago. 1t is cause
for congratulation that through the gen
crosby OF Mr.. Taft this collection, which
is of such value to students OF Vermont
antiquities has been kept within the State
and secured to the college where it Will
form part of IA permanent collection,
which more completely than any other,
represents the work of the former inhabl-
tants OF this region.

Food for Bees in Winter,

The American Bee Journal sent out
two queries and received answer to
query No. 1, as follows: "How much
does each colony of bees require, IN
order to winter successfuuy9n
Messrs Dadant & Son answer: 'sFor
the winter proper co'ony can be
brought through with 20 pounds of
honey, or even less; but to take them
to the next crop, requires not less than
25 to 35 pounds according to season."
Prof. A. J. Cook says: eff to last
from October until May, when fruit
trees bloom, 80 pounds is none zoo
little; from November to April, in a
good cellar, 10 pounds is more than
abundant.
James Heddon remarks as follows:
1T being my opinion that when we
arrange the conditions so as to GER
tainly prevent disease, they Will also
prevent the possibility of breeding un-
til taken from the cellar. I think
that 15 pounds of stores will prove to
be the outside quantity needed, to last
until the bees are on the wing to re-
main outdoors. / really think we
may get the amount down to 8 or S
pounds"
W. z Hutchinson says that ''from
10 to 15 pounds Is a great plenty to
carry colony through the winter In
cellar. If unprotected, out of doors,
twice that amount may be needed in
a cold winter"
DR.. G.. l.. Tinker replies thus: No
colony should have more food than it
will probably consume from Novem-
Der until the following May. Twenty
pounds is enough for indoor winter-
ing"
G. w. Dsmaree says: 81 have
found that bees will winter on much
less food than they really ought to
have. My strongest colonies are al
ways those which have an abundance
of stores. From 80 to 81 pounds to
the full colony gives me the best re-
Suits"
G. M. Doolittle says: ''That de-
pends on the size of the colony and the
temperature of the cellar or house.
In temperature of 450, / allow 10
pounds for small colonies and 15
pounds for good ones, when / expect
to attend to their wants as soon as set
from the cellar If to last until flo wers
come again, from 20 to 25 pounds is
none too much"

NE ANCIENT MARINER.

1t was an ancient mariner
Who rang the front-door bell:
With gold-laced cap and rolling gait
His part he acted well.
It was the lady of the house
Who opened wide the door;
My lady, am steward of
The gallant Singapore.
''She's lying at East Boston now.
Where all the gallant ca
Narders land their passengers;
I'm steward of the crew.
''And have here a case of knives
Real plate and nary sham;
They've come ashore without the form
OF seeing Uncle Sam.
''They cost me just five dollars, mum:
They re marked real triple plate;
bought 'e,n for party which
Has skippeA from out the State.
Then up the subtle lady spoke:
81 know the Singapore;
And on her voyage to Liverpool
She's six days out or more.
AN if ye be the steward bold,
She's given you the slip;
pray thee, gentle steward, go
And join another ship
These triple plated knives have ne'er
Paid Uncle Sam the dues;
They make 'em in Connecticut
They're just the sort use.
$50 gentle mariner, sheer off!''
He beat quick retreat,
But sold his ''smuggled" knives and spoon
A few doors down the street.
