Forfeited.

Forfeited.
The case of the United States VS.
Hanson r. White came up in the
United States court at Rutland this
week and was disposed of without
trial, Mr.. Whites bail being reduced
on his own motion to 5000 and then
forfeited and paid by him. Mr.. White,
it will be remembered, was arrested
last April by United States Marshal
Robinson and indicted for an attempt
to bribe member of the board of pen
sion examiners in this place. The case
came up at the May term of the United
States court at Windsor and was con-
tinued at Mr.. Whites request to the
October term at Rutland on last
Monday with the result above stated.
This case has excited considerable in
terest first and last. Mr.. White was
gratfted pension for some Is years
which was cut off on the recommended
tiOn of the present examining board.
He has made a numb Der of efforts to Sc
board since and finally charged one of
the members with offering to secure
him pension for a certain considera-
ton. Later he was himself arrested
for attempting to bribe the same MEM

A Vermont Inventor.
The Chicago Herald of Sept. 2 de-
votes two columns to an account of
Asa E. Hovey and his eccentricities.
Mr.. Hovey is a brother of Marson
w. Hovey of West Concord and is
called the father of what is known as
the cable system of street railroads,
the inventor of the "grip-car." The
Herald speaks of him as an intelligent
appearing man of 65. He holds the
position of mechanical engineer of the
Chicago city railway company. He
lives in very modest cottage in the
city and enjoys an income, says the
Herald, of 5000 a day from royalties.
He began the study of electrical engi-
neering 40 years ago, began to carry
out his ideas i'm California in 1852 but
it was not until 1876 that he took out
his first patent, within the two years
following took out six patents. In
1876 his first device was put into oper-
alton in San Francisco and is now in
use there. In 1881 he was sent for to
go to Chicago and finally went there
and superintended the building of the
present South Side street railway,
finally accepting his position in the
present Chicago city railway company.
Mr.. Hovey, whose name adds another
to the list of successful Caledonia
county boys, is an eccentric character,
his z.oaLE, noonr1ins +n tho Hnrala
running to the sitting of coal ashes,
which he does on an extensive scale,
finding no trouble in getting all the
coal he needs for his own burning in
this way, though the wonder among
his friends is how a man of such un-
disputed wealth should spend so much
time in such a very peculiar manner.

The Fayetie way.

Shelby county could well pattern after
her sister, Fayette, in conducting elections.
An APPEAL reporter met Mr.. Solomons,
OF that county, yesterday. In general
discussion OF politics, the Fayette party
worker said
During our campaign, not one OF the
candidates was reduced 10 the necessity OF
riding around over the country 10 see how
things were going. Every district was
thoroughly organized, and sent in regular
reports TO headquarters, which were dis
seminated among the other districts. Thus
each section Of the county knew just what
the other was doing, and what progress
was being made. On election day, II
every polling place, influential md
| tax-paying Democrats called tic ne
groes together and told them: we
would like for you all 20 vote the Demo.
cratic ticket We are all here together,
our interests are identical, II would be best
for all OF us TO have good men in Office,
and the white people will think great
deal more Of you That sort OF an appeal,
made under the stamp OF sincerity, had
the effect of bringing the colorcd men ~
| in squads with open straight Democratic
tickets in their hands, and they voted
them. never saw anything like II. And
Fayette is solidly Democratic, as the ne
groes feel and realize that the best inter
ests Of the white people are their bes
interests.
What q God send this kind Of organiza
ton would have been 10 the candidates II
the recent elcctionl Instead Of attending
10 their regular business and kccpinl
thoroughly posted and in the advance b.
district organizations, the gentlemen Ia,
10 hustle day and night. Improvement
the watchword, though, and the Demo
Gratis may yet get down to this sort Of mag
nificent work before the November contcs
| is ON.
