NEW COUNTY JUDGE.

Gov. c. S. Page has appointed
Hon M. E. Tucker of Hardwick side
judge to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Campbell of SUIT
ton. Mr.. Tucker is a native of
Calais and prominently identified
with Hardwick's town and business
affairs. He is a lumber dealer and in
1884 was first selectman of Hard
wick He is an excellent man for the
place and Gov. Page is to be com
mended in his choice Judge Tucker
will begin his court duties at the
coming June term. He represented
the town of Hardwick in the legisla-
ture of 1890 That section of the
county has had little recognition
lately, and geographically considered
the choice is also good one.

A BOLD BURGLARY.
C. ID. Jones' Safe at ST. Johnsbury Gem
tre Blown Open.

C. ID. Jones' Safe at st. Johnsbury Gem
tire Blown Open.
Charles D. Jones safe in his grist
mill at the Centre was blown open
Friday night and considerable dam
age done to the office and that side
of the building where the safe is
situated. The safe door was blown
through the office and through the
door leading from the office The
safe had been entered by drilling
through the top. An iron till con-
tanning about $1,000 worth of ne
gotiable notes, bank books and
other valuable papers was missing.
This, together with little change,
was all that the burglars secured.
Sheriff Sulloway was on hand
early Saturday morning and i'm
mediatcly found clues which led to
the arrest of the suspected parties.
He learned that two strange young
men had been in town Friday after
noon and one of the boys came into
the mill and surprised Mr.. Jones by
asking where DR.. Charles D. Newell
lived, man who has been dead over
two years. An auger and some
other tools were found marked 81.
A. Cox" and Mr. Cox, who lives at
the head of Main street, identified the
tools and said they had been stolen
from his chest the night before. But
the most convincing piece of evidence
was copy of the Portland Tran
script, with the label "Wm. E. Stow,
10 July ST." This paper was found
in the building. 1t snelt of gun
powder and had evidently been used
to wrap up the tools and powder.
Sheriff Sulloway returned to St.
Johnsbury and called at Mr.. Stoves
house on Hastings hill. He found
Bryant Stowe there, a step-son of
William Stowe, and another young
man who said his name was Frank
tones and that he lived In Worcester,
Mass. Bryant Stowe brought Mr..
Sulloway another Portland Tran
script upon which was the same
label as on the paper found at the
grist mill. Mr. Stowe was found at
work on Summer street and admit
ted that his boy and the Jones boy
were out late Friday night and did
not get up until very late Saturday
morning.
The sheriff returned to Mr. Stoves
house and arrested both boys on
suspicion and they are now in jail.
The boys admit they were at the
Centre Friday afternoon, but deny
any knowledge of or participant ton in
the burglary.
The iron till was found Sunday
morning in an empty coal car on a
side-track below the Centre station.
Most of the valuable papers belong to
P. L. Pierce, who was formerly a
partner of Mr.. Jones.
Bryant Stowe has served out his
time in Vergennes reform school and
has been living in Massachusetts,
lately. Nothing is known about his
accomplice, Frank Jones.

New York, Nov. 26.-Garrett p. Ser
viss. the astronomer, explained all
about the meteorites to Sun reporter.
aud something of the latest news about
the comet The shower Of meteore
seen on Wednesday night, Mr.. Serviss
said, were undoubtedly Bielaoids,
meaning the scattered particles, posi-
bly, remains Of the famous Biela comet.
This comet, it will be remembered,
after coming around regularly every
six and three-quarter years
for some time, suddenly split
in two in 1s48, and these parts sep
arated some 200, 900 miles. In 1879 the
comet had apparently gone to pieces
entirely. It has not been seen at all
since that year. The fact of these me-
teorites, which are positively identified
as being particles of Biela's comet by
the direction from which they come,
and all proceeding from the proper
radiant point, appearing eight days be-
fore the earth is due to cross the true
orbit of Biela's comet, indicates that
these swarms of meteors are scattered
over space of at least e5, ooo, 600 miles
in diameter.
The motors may be rushing along the
comets orbit in a cylindrical stream,
and this means that the cylinder of
meteors is 25,000,000 miles thick. But
the fact of the meteors falling in large
numbers on Saturday and then but a
few on the succeeding nights, until
Wednesday, and after the brilliant
shower that night again lull last
night, is good evidence that they are
scattered irregularly over that space, in
punches or shoals. so to speak.
