A NOVEL LIQUOR CASE.
A Pullman Car Conductor Arrested fo
Selling Ale at the Depot.

| A Pullman Car Conductor ArreSfed Tor
Selling Ale at the Depot.
On last Thursday afternoon, when
the Montreal express came in from
the south. Richard Clark of MOntre-
al the Pullman car conductor, got
off the train and handed a package
to Frank Ward, a New Yorker, who
is here visiting Ham Brock. One of
the police was a witness to this scene
and after the train had left detained
Mr.. Ward and ascertained from him
that the package contained a dozen
bottles of English ale Mr.. Ward
told the officer that he had come to
st. .Johnsbury for his health and had
asked the Pullman conductor to buy
him some liquor i'll Boston.
The officers, acting on the informa-
ton that liquor was being brought
here from Boston, Montreal, Woods
vile and elsewhere by trainmen, con-
cluded to press this case and make
an example of this transaction. Ac-
cordingly on Saturday afternoon
three of the officers were at the depot
when the train came in and Con
ductOr Clark was arrested. The in
cident created much excitement
around the depot and bail was imme-
diately furnished by M. Hynes and
the train went on, the case against
Clark being continued until Wcdnes-
day.
On Tuesday afternoon Conductor
Clark notified the officers that he
would plead guilty to one offense.
He was taken before Justice Sargent
and, under the new law, fined $S and
costs, the whole fine amounting to
$15.
This case has attracted much at
tention and the police have been
roundly abused for the performance
of their duty, much criticism coming
from professedly temperance sources.
Before the trial the air was full of ru-
mOrs about the illegality of the ar
rest and of threatened suits against
the town, but the fact that the con-
ductor plead guilty would indicate
that it was not deemed best to press
the case. The real friends of temper
ance and morality will back up the
police in all their efforts to stop the
importation of liquor into this town.

AFTER THE POST OFFICE.

Two applicants for the post office
are already in the field with their pc
titions, A. w. Simpson and Will
liam w. Sprague. Mr.. A. w. Simpson
has been a railway postal clerk for
nearly six years and w. w. Sprague
has been for many years in the mer
camille business in this place and was
a gallant soldier hepetitioners do
not ask for the office until there is a
vacancy or until the term of the pres
ent incumbent expires. Major Bow
man was appointed in April, 1887,
and confirmed by the Senate in Jan
uary, 1888, so he is entitled to serve
until January, 1892. A number of
our prominent citizens, mostly repub
liCans, have written the Vermont del
egation i'll Congress asking that no
change be made until Postmaster
BOwman's term expires, and express
ing in the highest terms satisfaction
at the way the office is conducted.
AS OSIIHdSleI carpenter WAS not
disturbed until his term expired it is
no more than fair that Major Bow
man should receive similar treatment.
1t is understood that the Vermont
congressional delegation will decide
upon all presidential post offices.
Pliny ]. Cowles, who has had eight
years experience in the post office,
has been mentioned for the position
but he is not q candidate 1t is like
ly that there may be clark horse"
in the race before the contest is over.

INFORMER BEACH
Continues His Testimony Before the Com
mission.
Admits He Took the Feuian Oath When
British Spy.

lSbNDoN. tb
Arguments as to the admi sion of evidence
came up before the Parneil commission to-
day, during which Attorney General Webs
ter said he had never been prepared to sug-
gest that Parnell or other members of Par
Lament were personally connected with the
murderous ontrages His contention
was that they were allied with
people whm they knew to be or could have
known by proper inquiries, personally con-
nected with such ouirages many years. 1t
had been proved that several members of
the House of Commons hal attended four or
five league conventions. In America, where
the |. X. b controlled the proceedings, the
harmony between them was referred to in
the document read at the convention, which
hoped that the tree Dvitt planted in Mayo
might grow into an organization that would
effect Ireland's freedom. The court decid-
ed to admit the evidence.
Beach continue1 his testimony, giving an
account OF the escape of Eagan and Bren-
nan when the officers we're after them, and
duplicating Lord Mayor Sexton in Brennan's
escape.
Sir Charles Russell quoted the resolution
passed by the convention approving farnell
and the Irish commissioner conduct in
promising moral and mat rial aid against
la1dlordism.
Beach gave the names Of the members of
the organization and the contents of the Sow
ersl circulars issued by the league mostly in
regard u funds and enjoinng secrecy on the
members, and one calling for fund.- for dyn-
smite and preceding the Chicago convention
of June, 1888.

RuMoR ABOUT CHANDLER
Saws Governor Sawyer Will Not Ap-
point Him to Fill tt 9 Interim.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I.
Information rece. we'd to-day says Gov.
SAWYER of New Hampshire would not ap
noint Senator Chandler to serve in the Sen
ate for the interim from the 4th of March to
18th of June, at which date the legislature
will meet to elect a Senator for the remain
der of the term of six years ending March
Atm 1895 Among the names likely TO be
considered in naming Cnandlers successor
ae: Gen. Gilman Marston, Jere miah Smith,
Geo. W Nesmiih. and Daniel Hall.
The reasons for Sswyers course are said
to be founded upon the events of the famous
rs,lrosd fight before the New Hampshire
legislature two years ago. Sawyer vetoed
the bill that passed providing f,r the sale OF
consolidation of the road in which the State
was int rested, on the ground of improper
| influence.
| In his paper Senator Chandler attacked
| the Veto He had no controversy with th'
| Governor over the veto itself, and did NO
think il right that the legislature should res
under the imputation of being wronsfuii
Influenced.
