Caswell g. French's steam saw mill
at Holland was burned Saturday. Loss
about $4,000; insurance $4,000.
There are now nearly 100 cOnvicts
at the State prison at Windsor, the

President Harris of the Connecticut
River railroad has written to the Off
Gals of the town of Springfield offer
ing to build road from their line to
Springfield village, four miles, if the
town will bridge the Connecticut river
and keep it in repair. A charter is to
be asked of the legislature at once.
A smash-up occurred Friday morn
ing at Gassett's station on the Rutland
railroad, seventeen miles north of Bel
lows Falls. Number four, a mixed
freight and passenger train was run
into at the rear by an extra freight.
Number six, freight, ran into the rear
of the extra on a bridge, wrecking all
three trains, and blOckading the track
until afternoon. No one was serious
ly injured.
The Walker & Hatch lumber and
manufacturing company of Burlington
is reported embarrassed. An attach

was practically a consolidation of the
old firm of Walker, Hatch 81 Co. and
the WinOoski lumber and water pow
Ell company. S. H. Weston is the
president and Gilbert Harris the
treasurer.

FROM MONTPELIER.

Senator Bunker has introduced a
resolution in the senate providing that
no bills shall be introduced after No
vember 10, except such as are report
ed by committees, unless by the unan-
imOus consent of the senate, and the
resolution has been adopted. This
eminently wise action seems likely to
reduce the influx of bills and give OPP
portunity for work.
Among the bills introduced the past
week is the one to remove Greensboro
from Orleans county into Caledonia
county. The bill was accompanied by
a petition signed by 900 of the $50
voters Of the town asking for the
change.
Judge Poland, who is certainly out
stripping the young men in the legis
lature in the matter of hard work, has
introduced his bill in relation to rail
roads ordered to be sold, ETC., having
relation to the B. & l.. and st. j. & l..
G. business. The Judges female suf-
frage bill came up for third reading
yesterday. Judge Poland has also in
trOduced bill to establish state
agricultural experiment station.
Senator Bates bill to raise the sala-
ry of the supreme court judges to 3d.,
600 per year and expenses not to ex-
ceed $500, was passed to third read
ing in the senate Tuesday afternoon
10y a vote of IL to l3. The senate has
passed Senator Bates bill providing
that where husband and wife are prop
erly joined, either as plaintiffs or de-
PENDANTS, both shall be competent wit
nesses, neither to be permitted, how
ever, to testify to any admissions or
conversations of either.

THE ELECTIONS.

The election returns are rather mea-
gre as to detail. The democratic ma
jority in the lower house of congress
has been considerably reduced and it
is claimed that New York, Connecticut
and some other doubtful states have
elected republican legislatures, insur-
ing the election of republican United
States senators.
In Massachusetts the UNIV isdOm of
the republicans in putting up money
bags Ames is shown by the whiting
of the republican plurality of 1884
down from AZ, 900 to 5000. Massachu-
sets also gains three democratic con-
gressmen. j. E. Russell, democrat,
wins the 10th district from w. w. Rice;
Burnett in the 9th takes Ely's place,
and Leopold Morse beats Mr.. Ranney
in the Sd. On the other hand Mr..
Lodge gets the desire of his heart in
the 9th.
In Connecticut the reelection OF
Senator Hawley is assured.
New York has republican majority
in the legislature and elects Hewitt
mayor of the city by handsome ma
.jOrity.
Blaine's work produced good results
in Pennsylvania when Beaver is elect
ed governor by $4,000 plurality. The
congressional delegation will be 20 re-
publicans and eight democrats.
Virginia gains three republicans in
the Legislature.
In New Hampshire the republican
vote has fallen off, and there is prob
ably no choice for governor, though
the republicans have carried the leg
islature and that body can elect Saw
yer-McKinney, democrat, carries the
LIST congressional district and Calm
ger, republican, the I'd.

The Valued Policy Bill.

We hear of protests from every quar-
ter being presented to the Legislature
against the enactment of the valued
policy bill, petitions that represent
nearly every large business industry
in the state and that are generally
signed by the business men who have
property to insure and whose property
is at stake. We have yet to hear of
any petitions having been presented
by property holders advocating the
passage of the bill. The experience of
New Hampshire under the valued pol
icy law stands a practical protest
against the enactment of a similar law
in this state. So far as the property
interests of the state are concerned it
would be better that the legislature of
1886 had never met, than to follow in
the footsteps of New Hampshire in
this matter.

A FAMILY QUARREL.

Montpelier democrats are getting
pretty badly demOralized over the
post Office in that burgh. F. HI. Bas-
com has for a long time been Atkins
candidate. SO sure has he been of Sc
curing the position that he has been
betting on his chances in true demo-
cratic fashion, and Atkins demand
some time ago that the present in
cumbent, Wing, resign and make way
for Bascom, is still fresh in the minds
of the people.
A little while ago BascOm informed
his friends that his appointment had
been finally decided upon at Washing
ton. Before this story got cold the
Montpelier Journal stated that BascOm
had ''finally and positively declined to
allow the further use of his name as a
candidate for postmaster, and is here
after entirely out of the race" Then
came the Rural VermOnter with the
statement that "Mr. Bascom tells us
that the above announcement of his
withdrawal is absolutely false and
that it was written by Hiram Atkins
and published by his direction to pre-
JUDGE Mr.. BascOm's chances of Oh
tanning the Office when Mr.. Wings
commission shall expire"
Now comes in President Cleveland,
who has no notion of appointing a
postmaster who is liable any day to be
dragged out of the Office and jagged
under some of the old charges for liq
uor selling that are hanging over Bias
com, with the declaration that he can
not and will not make the appoint
ment. 1t is reported that the presi
dent said, in announcing his decision,
that, while he knew that druggists
sold liquor in many states which had
a prohibitory law, nevertheless he
could not under all the circumstances
of the case remove such an officer as
Mr.. Wing, nor could he hazard his rep
utation by the appointment of BascOm
and he would not do it.
And now the funniest part of this
whole business is that Atkins and Bas-
com are, or pretend to be, at swords
point, Atkins claiming that BascOm
should take himself out of the way,
and BascOm that Atkins has deserted
him. Decent people have very little
interest in the quarrel so far as these
two are concerned, and congratulate
temporarily and it is hoped perma-
nently squelched. By the way, Mr..
Wing has made a good postmaster.
Why should he be disturbed, anyway

The Green Mountain Saul.

The conversion of Judge Poland
in these later years from strong Op-
ponent of woman suffrage to a strong
friend of the movement, is source of
endless joy and comfort to the sntfra-
gists. The judge has framed bill
which has already been favOrably re-
ported from the judiciary committee,
of which he is chairman, providing
that female citizens 81 years of age,
whose lists are taken in any town at
the annual assessment next preceding
a town meeting shall, while residing
in the town, be voters in town meet
ings, and the same persons shall be
voters in village and fire district meet
ings. The WOman's Journal declares
that the friends of wOman's suffrage in
Vermont feel as if the miraculous con-
version of Saul of Tarsus had happened
over again.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
. Accident at Dartmouth.

While C.. G.. Gardiner of BiddefOrd,
Me-, a Dartmouth senior, G. HI. Tuttle
of Lebanon and Timothy Sullivan OF
Hanover were at work on the stone
tower in the college park, last week
the staging gave way, precipitating
them about 35 feet to the rocks below.
Gardiner is seriously but not fatally
injured. Tuttle is frightfully cut about
the head and was unconscious, but may
recover. Sullivan slightly bruised.
The scheme of building this tower was
originated two years ago. The work
is wholly done by seniors, and each
graduating class is expected to add ten
feet.
The public debt was decreased in
October $l3,2Ol $3.50.

Careless Signing of Petitions.
R.,4.0I

A striking illustration of the some
what delusive character of the petition
is furnished by community not a
thousand miles from Montpelier. The
village was chartered several years
ago, but recently an individual not par
ticularly noted for his disinterested
ness or public spirit took advantage Of
some prevailing discomfort with the
local administration to circulate pc
tition praying for the abrogation of
the village charter. He got great
many autographs and among them
many who were strongly in favor of a
village organization if the provisions
of the charter were faithfully carried
out. Another person started up with
two petitions, both in favor of retain
ing the charter, but one was for the
signatures of those who had already
signed the first petition. 1t set forth
that the signers had affixed their
names to the petition for the abolition
of the village organization under some
misapprehensiOn or misunderstanding
of its purp Irt, and expressed the de-
sire for the retention of the existing
state of things. All Of which goes to
show how easy it is to get up petit
ton and what thought and considera-
ton the average person gives to sign
ing one of these documents.

Mistake Number&On

The legislature is not fulfilling the
expectation which the people had of
it-certainly not in one important par
ticular. The vote to adjourn and go
on a free junket to Alburgh was a mis-
take. 1t was mistake because to do
it involved neglect and delay of the
business of the session, but it was still
more mistake, because the act in it.
self lowers the tone of the Legislature
in respect to the absolute indepen-
dence of mind which it's members
should bring to the consideration of
important questions of railroad legis-
lation. This action is the first blow at
an effective railroad commission struck
in the guise of an act of courtesy, and
accepted without due appreciation of
what it involved by those who went.
1t is the first manifestation in this leg
islature of that subtle influence which
in all previous years has been able to
kill off legislation obnoxious to the
railroads.

Proclamation.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, Oct. 90, 1886.
1t has long been the custom of the
people of the United States on one day
in each year, especially set apart for

in the earthquake, food and storm, and
let gratefully the hearts of those who
have been shielded from harm through
His mercy be turned in sympathy and
Kindness toward those who have suf-
fered through his visitatiOns. Let us

A GiIt-Edged Butter Bill.

Mr.. Tinkham's oleomargarine bill
which passed the house last week is a
gilt-edged affair. 1t provides that any
person who sells OleOmargarine shall
for each offence be fined $500. Any
hotel or boarding house proprietor de-
tected using bogus butter shall be con-
sidered as having sold it. The pres
enee of bogus butter on the premises
shall be considered sufficient reason
for assuming that the owner of the
premises deals in the forbidden goods,
unless the keeper of such hotel or 9TH
er place shall have placed on the wall
of each room where food is furnished,
a white placard on which is printed in
black ink, in plain Roman letters of
not less than three inches in length,
