Dol. nnnI,rrin,hr RirIh

The expected announcement has been
made of Col Hookers entrance into the
field as a candidate for Congress in place
of Cien Circuit The Windsor journal of
last week was the medium chosen for con
veying this information to the public, though
it had been previously given out and had
appeared in the Burlington Free Press.
Without detracting in any way from the
good qualities which Col Hooker possesses.
or from the efficient way in which he per
forms duties for which he is fitted by ma
taure and education, it is question which
the people of the Second district will be
likely TO consider very seriously whether
he is the kind of man which they they wish
to send as a representative of Vermont in
the national legislature and whether there
is any occasion for making change i'll view
of the excellent work being done by Gen.
Circuit and the high standing he mas &C
quired in Congress The office is not one
on which any individual has any claim, -
or to which any rule of rotation can prop
erly he applied. The only question is the
public good the best service of the people
of the district. and who will do the state
most credit. Few men have ever served
Vermont in Congress more acceptably, OF
made themselves a better record there than
has Gen Grout. Aside from his proved
ability in the grasp of subjects Of nationa
Importance, and the leading position given
him by Speaker Reed in the committee work
| of the present session, he has been faith
full and painstaking servant Of his constitu
ents in matters affecting their individual
interests, and we believe the people of tn,
| district will best serve their own interest.
and honor themselves by giving him theii
| solid support to be his own successor.
1t Is understood that one of Col Hook
er's leading points against Gen Circuit II
his course in the Brattleboro post ofhc,
case in unfolding the expressed will of tn,
majority. a full statement on this poin
has already been made in our columns. Oh
the colones part we fancy one of his mos
difficult jobs will be 10 satisfactorily ex
plain to his constituents his course in per
sistently boiling the result of caucu.
which he had cordially endorsed and agreed
to, and in which he was one of the mos
active and conspicuous participants.

THE TRUE STORY OF THE sUGLAND
MURDER

some interesting facts IN connection with
the Sugland murder case, which made
such sensation nearly three years ago.
have recently come 70 our knowledge 1t
viii be remembered that the suppOsitiun
was at the time that Sugland followed MS
victim. the Burt glrl down the railroad
track IN the evening, and overlook and
killed her somewhere above the West river
bridge. secreting her body for two or three
days and then throwing II into the river
After Suglands suicide his family told
story To tins effect, at least. that being AN
CRY because she had again left nun, he
swore that he would punish her, and tax
ing big clasp knife and a revolver started
out 10 follow her HIS wife has since adj
mitted. however, that the fatal blow was
struck m the wOodchOppers shanty, oug
land knocking the girl over with his inst
without meaning 70 kill her This was on
the sunday Just week before the body
was discovered. hen there was rum and a
general scrimmage IN the shanty Mrs
SuglAnd face showing at the time Of the
trial the mark Of heavy blow Further
than tins we lind 1t 10 be true that during
the summer following the murder Suglhnd's
son told two people IN whom he had conf
dence what be then claimed 10 be the true
story of the occurrence. This story was
that the Burt girl got drunk on the SUNDAY
M question and was noisy ana ugly as usual
on such occasions. She made an exhibition
of herself in tins way outside the shanty.
which John dlshked. and made her 20 IN
side, and then ordered her TO sit down and
keep still TINS she refused 70 do aud
when she persisted. SuglAnd. IN his anger.
dealt her a tremendous blow. knocking her
clean over the table her mead striking the
stove and cutting the cash IN the scalp
winch the doctors said appeared to nave
been made by some blunt instrument She
did not get up. aud when It was found that
she was dead the body was hidden in the
shanty until night and then was carried
out To the river. the dress pulled up and
tied over the head, stones put ln and then
Sugland and ms boy waded IN as far as pos
sible with the horrible burden aud dropped
1t to the bottom al told him, the bov
said, in telling the story that he ought 70
put big stone on her The stones work ed
out of the dress as the body filled with gas
and began 10 rise and when John found
that 1t mad ioated off he came down and
notified Cartledge to look cut for il The
rest of the story. and how it all came out
Is too recent and too well remembered 70
need repeating Had Sugland recognized
the difference between murder in the first
degree and manslaughter ms course might
nave been different
This narrative is of interest for the rrs
son, If for no other, that 1t does away with
any imagining Of what horrible scene may
have occurred when the powerful negro
overlook his victim alone In the dark and
tortured her with threats aud upbrHidng
before " reaking his vengeance on her

Bond and his daughter Nellie MANY rich
and handsome costumes were worn by the
ladies. Almost ali the gentlemen appeared
in military uniform, but there were enough
IN the dress Of civilians to give variety o.
the scene when the company whirled IN the
mazes OF the giddy dance The decorations
had much of military suggestiveness.
Bunting draperies covered the windows
with wall paper fans at the top The walls
were decked with flags of the nations
equipments Of the companies, and pictures
several Of camp scenes The elevated band
stand on the north side of the hall was GOV
cred with star cloth and the front of the
gallery was similarly ornamented while
underneath its centre was perched a large
gilded American eagle From the prosce.

states flags, and smaller flags of "a similar
pattern were placed in the corners of the
hall and at the entrances Two immense
Japanese umbrellas were suspended from

MARY HOWEIN PITPsFIELD, MASS
WEDNESDAY EVENING.


Fittsteld has at last seen aud heard the
reigning vocal fAvorite. Miss Mary Howe
of Brattleboro. OF course there are ali
sorts OF opinions about her abilities as a
singer and about her personal appearance.
etc. but there is no doubt but the prevail
ing opinion Is that she IL a remarkable sing
er, and an extremely attractive woman
personally The academy of music was
filled
Miss Howe, of course, was the favorite
and received an enthusiastic welcome. She
Is Enthusiastically beautiful Her stage pres
enee and manners are perfect-easy, grace
tul and pleasing, with none of the affecta
tons or mannerisms 80 often seen The
same may be said of the management of
her voice There is nothing added for eff
feet. She executes the most intricate runs
and trills with charming ease aud with
hmpid purity, ana d passage Of simple
sweetness is given sweetly. She was the
most pleasing in the last number. The
Angels Serenade The first two were
evidently given 10 show her ability in other
directions Each one was enthusiastically
encOred, however, and she gave pleasure
boy singing Comm thro' the Rye. and
Home Sweet Home as two Of them, the
last when she was evidently struggling
with hoarssness Pittsfeld will he glad /,
welcome her again
