So Near and Yet SO Far.

In a field at East Dorset, east of the
Bennington and Rutland railroads, and
half mile or so above the station are two
springs not more than thirty feet apart,
One of these springs is the source of the
Battenkill creek ana the other is the
source of the Otter creek. The Otter
flows northward and within few miles
becomes quite IA river, and finally enters
Lake Champlain, and thence of course
its waters are discharged through the
st. Lawrence river into the ocean. The
Battenkill runs westward, and its waters
finally flow into the Hudson river and
thence into the ocean ut New York, 1900

The Commissioners Adviser.

The new Board of County Commissioners,
which is Democratic. will hold its first meeting
and organize next month. In the meantime the
question as to who will be county attorney is
being canvassed. Mr.. Ketcham, under a con-
tract with the old board can, perhaps, if he
chooses, hold the office until next July, but it is
understood that the incoming board hope he will
not insist on the contract. as they naturally, as
did their predecessors, prefer to select their own
confidential adviser, and Mr.. Ketcham's insist
ance upon retaining the place would re-
suit In making matters very inharmonious.
Mr.. ketcham is rot now in the city and will not
be for a week or ten days, and what co urse he
will take in the matter is not known. W.. W.
Spencer, a young and energetic Democratic at
torney. a man whom everyone speaks well of,
appears to nave a clear field for the place, all
other aspirants having stepped aside for him, it
being understood that the incoming board have
practically agreed in his favor.

Cincinnati Managers Sue Lawrence Barrett.
Lawrence Barrett is managing Edwin Booth
this season. His January date in Cincinnati
has led to a suit for injunction. Heubert Heuck,
proprietor of Heucks Opera-house, that city,
Theodore E. Mithoff and James E. Fennessy,
business manager of the house. are the plaintiffs,
and their complaint, filed in the Superior Court
here yesterday, sets forth that Barrett contract
ed with them to play Booth at their theater, the
defendant to have so per cent. OF the receipts.
r. E. J. Miles, manager of the Grand Opera
house, Cincinnati, it is charged, in order to
prevent the appearance of Booth at Heuck's
and to secure him for his own place, made a
more liberal offer-that of turning over the
Grand to the Booth company-which was ae-
copied by Barrett; hence the Injunction, which
is to keep Booth out of the Grand and play him
at Heuck's. The compliments charge that no
written contract had been made between them
and defendant, Barrett; but there was an oral
agreement to sustain the claim of the Heuck
management. The defendant claims he had no
contract with Heuck, Mithoff or Fennessy. The
application will be heard by Judge Taylor on
Tuesday. 1t was on account of readiness of
service of process that the suit was brought in
this city during Barrett's engagement at Dick
sons

Freight Rates in the Northwest.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 20.-In regard to the
chances of a war in freight rates, and a break up
in the Western Freight Association because of
the refusal of the st. Paul company to allow the
Hammond beef contract to be p~rorated, General
Manager Miller, of the st. Paul, says: 'It is
associated roads to allow the Inauguration of a
rate war on SUCH a pretext. In regard to the po-
sition which the st. Paul road occupies on the
question of carrying dressed beef from Omaha
to Chicago, there is no change. This road will
not report dressed beef at the tariff rates, because
it is not fair. We shall not institute a cut in
rates. l can't say what the other Western asso-
ciated roads may do. If they inaugurate the
war, they will be responsible"

morning, at the age of ffty-four years. He was
unmarried, and, until three months ago, took
pride in his excellent physical condition, claim
ing that he had never been sick a day in his life.

visit, but Mr.. Wriedt, becoming dangerously i'll
from an ulcerous affection, she returned home.
He recovered sufficiently to give partial atten-
ton tc business for a time, but for six weeks he
has been confined to his house, blood poisoning

Wriedt was well known in fraternity circles, he
being a member of several societies, as we'll as
