The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-12-23

THE interests of a creamery and a
patron are mutual. The closer the re-
lations Of each are brought together the
greater the prosperity of both. There
is no line of business where an under
standing is so esse nial.

POSTOFFICE IMPROVEMENTS,
There Will BE Many New Facilities When
Completed.

There Will BE Many New Facilities When
Completed.
The work of enlarping and improving the
Helena postofice is being pushed as rapidly
as possible without interfering with the
handling of the mails. When completed
the Office will have many improvements
which will facilitate the work of the office
and provide better accommodations for the
rublic. The pen containing the letter
boxes is to be enlarged by moving it for
ward one section. The new section will
contain 300 additional boxes. Unlike the
old boxes tt ere will be no keys, but instead
n combination lock. Those who rent the
boxes will he the only once possessing the
combination. The general delivery window
will occupy the same position and near it
will be a ladies' window. There will be an
extra drop box for city letters. The pack
age box will also be enlarged. The parti-
tion over the letter boxes will be continued
mp to the ceiling. One of the most con-
venient changes will be in segregating the
money order, registered letter and stamp
divisions in the northwest corner. This
will leave the registry division practically
where it is, with the stamp window just to
the north. The money order division will
move into the large room in the roar, which
has been added to the postoffice, and cus-
tomers will be served through n window
looking out on the same Enclosure in which
uIe the stamp and registry divisions. One
part of tho additional loom will be used for
Postmaster Clewelrs private Office, and the
other part for distributing the matter ar
irving daily in the registered packages from
the east, and which are assorted here to be
sent to all pa is of the state. The big room
where the distribution and forwarding of
mails is carried on has had the floor raised
three feet, making it flush with the remain

Davis Hotel.

Sherman s. FUR, the young colored man
who fred four shots at Willis g. Rose Mt
the B%roadwater on July IL. had n trial be-
fore Judge Hunt and a jury yesterday. The
jury were instructed to bring in sealed
morning. Willis was ably defended by
Ella l.. Knowles, her theory being self-de-
Tense. His witnesses gave him a very
good character. He Is "a years old, and
came here from the south about eight
months ago. Since he has been here Furr
has been a psnceable and aw-abidinR citi-
zen. Miss Knowles made an eloquent plea
for her client. She thought there WAS
room for reasonable doubt, but if the jury
could not agree rs to that, she asked that
they give her client the Lowest
penalty for the offense, one
year in the psnitentiary. She spoke fol-
thirty minutes, when Col. Nolan addressed
| the twelve men. He did not take up as
much time. The prosecuting attorney said
it was a plain case and said it appeared
from the evidence that the defendant had
deliberately committed the assault with the
intention of committing murder.
The penalty for such a crime is punish
able by not less than one year or more
than fourteen years confinement in the state
p%enitentiary. The court instructed the jury
that they could fix this penalty or leave it
to him to determine. The court was pretty
we'll filled during the afternoon with friends
| of the defendant and prosecuting attorney.
The witnesses for the state were;
Willis G. Rose, F. j. Stever, Thomas

Judge Davis Hotel.

Judge Joseph Davis filed his answer yes
terday in the circuit court to the complaint
of +. j. Hodgson, of Denver, who is suing
to recover $4,000 on some plans which he
alleges he furnished for Davis. The latter
says he never ordered the plans and never
engaged the services of the architect. In
NAV and June, 1889, Davis and Others
were contemplating the erection of
a hotel on the northeast corner
of Eleventh avenue and Pearl street in this
city. Davis says Hodgson voluntarily
brought some sketches and plans to the
projectors of the enterprise. The architect
was afterwards notified to take them away,
but they we're never called for.

ONE HUNDRED SHOOK IN TEN
HOURS.

The ARGUS believes Mr.. W. j.
Wotring to be tho champion shook
maker ot the--yes, tho world. A
short time ago Lumberman NJ. G..
Gibson received an urgent order for
shook, and he just lacked 100 TO
I'LL the bill. He went TO Mr.. Wot-
ring and acquainted him with the
fact, and asked him he thought he
could fill the bill in the specified
time, which was ten hours. Mr..
Wotrng replied he would try, and
so saying he and his two bows went
to work. and when the ten hours
were up Mr.. Wotring had completed
his one hundred shook. One hun
dred shook IN ten hours boats the
record.
There is one thug in connection
with thisshook business the ARGUS
cannot fully understand, and which
She Journal may be able to onligh-
ten us on, as il Is u kind OF an
oracle in protection. Mr.. Wotring
is Republican aud q gentleman of
intelligence. and why he can make
shook for 20 per cent less than no
did before the Mckinley bill, and
still support the party which re-
duccd his wages 20 per cent, is
more than the ARGUS can fathom.
is this what you call Protection to
American labor by the brond shield

OF 20 per cent in wages, esteemed

ION on this important question,
