Is expected that there is a large increase
over the appraisal of 1882 but owing to
the shortness of time and the largely in
creased number of pieces of real estate,
the assessors have been unable to fully
complete the extensions and footings. 1t
is consequently impossible to state the eX-
act increase, but it will probably he % per

The synod of Roman Catholic priests of
the diocese of Vermont which was post
poned from June 30 on account of the alb
sence of the bishop who was attending
the ceremonies of comforting the cardinals
hat on Archbishop Gibbons in Baltimore,
was held Wednesday at the cathedral.
About 80 priests from all parts of the

were held at which important church
questions We're discussed, such as church

The Wells 81 Richardson company have
made arrangements to display weather
signals from their block every day and
they will soon issue cards with the code of
signals. The red signals indicate the

white flag with large red sun IN the centre
indicates higher temperature: red cres-
cent, lower temperature; red star sta
tonary temperature. a white flag with
large blue sun in the center indicates gen

The indications are obtained direct from
Washington and the signals will be great

1t is estimated that the steamer Yer
mont, Williams. Reindeer and Maquam
brought 1000 people to the city to celebrate,
on Monday. Fifty eight cars were brought
in on the Central Vermont all loaded, and
20 on the Burlington and Lamoile in the
same condition. Averaging 50 people to
each car which is low estimate. in
round numbers 5000 people came to Bur
lington, by rail, which with what the
steamers brought swells the number to
5000. This of course does not include the
visitors who poured in from the nearer
country towns, by the wagon load.
Twelve thousand is safe estimate An
old railroad employe at the depot says
that in all his years of service, he has
never seen the depot 50 crowded as on
Monday.

THE HOSE RACES.


In the case of contests similar to the
hose races in this city Monday it is gen
orally the Vanquished who are disgruntled
but in this instance the companies who
won prizes are dissatisfied with the re-
suit.
The Pittsburgh Telegram says: "On be
say that they will run the Baxter Hose,
both companies to run with the same
men, at any time or any place, and for
any sum. The Rutland Hcr0Id says
that the sheldon Hose company offer TO
bet 800 they can beat any one of the com
panies which ran on that day.
II Doth companies are sincere in their
statements there is apparently no obstacle
to another contest in which to settle their
differences. Judging from the manner in
which the BaXters ran in this city they
need not fear challenge from any of their
competitors on that occasion. They made
the best time in the morning and only in
eXcusable bungling with the pipe prevent
ed their capturing first prize.

Chittenden County Politics.

To the Editor of the Free Press
The county convention gave us a splen
did ticket. What remains for the party is
to give 1t rousing majority. To do this
there must be work done. a strong ele-
meht Is secretly at work to defeat a por-
ton of the ticket. 1t is hoped that enough
can be drawn from the republican ranks
TO the democratic nominee for senator
IRON the south side of the river and sheriff
To beat Smith Wright for senator and
Joseph Barton for sheriff. 1t is confident
~ hoped by TINS combination to play upon
personal prejudice and secu.e enough by
political buying and selling to elect a dem
ocrat to each OF these offices. The demo
Gratis propose TO put forward "Edmunds
men because they know without this ii
would be political suicide. 1t Is safe to
say, however that on all other issues they
VIII be 'shaky" enough to satisfy the
most fastldious railroad man in the coun-
ty.
Mr.. Wright has always been active in
politics and sufficiently aggressive to los
tie somebody here and there and the cam
palgn against him will depend mainly on
personal matters. The party must stand
together by its nominees. With the presi-
dental election of lSSS sufficiently near at
hand, and the important matters of a sue
cessOr To Senator Edmunds and a railroad
commission to be decided by the next
legislature, why not let republicans do the
work of the party Why allow dema-
gOgues and sChemerS to split up our COun-
" ticket and squeeze a democrat into a
place that does not belong to him Let
the republican party in Chittenden coun-
