The Successful Leader of Four

Benjamin Harrison RenOmi-
mated for President on the
First Ballot.
THE FIRST AND ONLY BALLOT

President Harrison was renominated yes
day on the first ballot, receiving all then
votes claimed for him by the managers o
his canvass, and where there were losses in
some states, gains were made in Others.
The l.sses came from states which desired
to vote for Gov. Mckinley, but which in
case of u straight issue between Blaine and
Harrison would have voted for the presi-
dent, making his total vote slightly larger
Than it appears as recorded.

Saturday" said Gen. Clarkson to the PIONEER
PRESS. w did not know definitely until
Saturday that Blaine would accept. We los.
seventy-ive votes between Thursday and Satur-
day. Then his resignation hurt US. 1t was AL
uphill fight all the While"
That has been maintained by the friends
o: President Harrison all the time. The
anti Harrison men were fighting in the air
and did not know where they were or what
they were doing, except that they were de-
te,mined to dc eat the president.
In the Convention hall yesterday it was
apparent from the moment that they en-
tered that as yet they had not been able to
agree upon any mode Of procedure that
would de:eat the president. They had de-
termined. however, to

in the ho::e that the convention might be
stampeded for him, but that was a failure.
None Of the Harrison men could be in
duccd to desert the president except those
in Ohio, and their state pride induced them
to vote for the now leading statesman Of
their state. 1t was observed that the roll
call showed that the Harrison men were
OF disturb ed IN the least. They contin
ued to vote all the way down the roll call.

I'd, That you make good all damages
sustained by individuals by the troops

To Build Tower to Photographers MOnu-

DR. II. G. Day in the Troy Times says
"A Boston and Bennington phOtog-
rapher are considering the advisaoility Of
erecting tower $50 feet high. from the
top of which to take view of the Ben
nington battle-monument. The tower
would be placed some distance dow the
mill that slopes to the northwest of the
monument. J. Phillip Rim If Boston.
the architect of the monument, thinks
the most desirable view of the structure
can only lie obtained from that point
and that elevation. Bennington village
would be shown IN the background. 1t
is hoped to secure such view of the
monument for the book that is being
compiled of the celebration proceedings
of last August. The photographers
think that the large sale of the picture
would more than compensate for build
ing the tower"

The stamford Murder.

The stamford Murder.
Among the eases heard by the Su-
preme Court in our village this week
was that uf Jerry Bradley, now serving
a life sentence. Sheriff Robinson went
to Windsor and returned with the
prisoner in time to he present in court.
Nearly two years ago Bradley was CON
victed of murder in the second degree at
term of the County Court in Manches-
ter and sentenced to life imprisonment
at the State prison. His attorneys took
exceptions t. the charge of the Court to
the jury, but because of sickness and
other reasons it has been impossible to
bring the case before the Supreme Court
until the term which opened Tuesday.
Bradley brought with him variety of
ornaments he had made while in confne-
ment and sold number of them both at
Rutland and Bennington. These were
made of vegetable ivory, sleeve buttons,
crosses, watch charms, end handsome
chain CONSTRUCTED of plum stones was
partially completed. 1t will he beauty
when done. The Rutllnd Herald SAYS
Bradley is gOod-lonking colored man
about 40 years old and talked freely with
the officers and others who were in the
station house during .he evening. He is
not full blOOded negro, his grand
mother being white woman of Irish de-
scent.
Are you confident of being granted a
new trial ?" was asked.

hope so for the sake of my children at
least, who are three, six and nine years
old"
At the time the crime was committed,
in the spring of 1890. Bradley was living
ON his farm in Stamford. His wife had
deserted him and woman named Mag
gle Shea, known as Rose Mitchell or
Maggie Madison, was his hOusekeeper.
As the story goes, Bradley went away
for few days and on his return found
that the woman had disappeared with
one of his teams. lie found her at the
home Of man named DilwOrth, got his
team, but left her there. A week later,
May 9th 1890, Bradley was sent for to
20 tn Dilworth's, and there found the
woman, also rhumls White, John Boil
ger and Thomas Lyons
A drunken spree followed, the party
drinking freely from a barrel Of cider.
During the fracas the woman was stab
bed with a jacknife, and died from the
effects of the inju les. The men were
arrested, but all escaped conviction ex
cept Bradley. He was indicted by the
grand jury, and the jury trial before
Judge Royce lasted several days.

in Arkansas who had
colony OF rattlesnakes that were trained
to play Dixie with their rattles to his
intense ediiication," said Colonel j. s.
Evans, OF Meridian, Miss.
Tho man belonged to my regiment
during the war, and he had n rattle
snake that followed him all through the
Louisiana campaign like faithful dog.
lie didn't join tho army until near the
close Of the trouble, and he brought his
snake with him. When the reptile got
tired on the march her master would
coil her around his neck and trudge
along with his pet until camp was
struck, At night he put the snake in
circle formed with Il hair rope, SO as To
keep her from crawling around to the
dread Of other soldiers. During battle
that snake would dart in and out be-
tween the ranks Of the fighting men ln-
til she found her master, when sne
would stick her tail straight into the air
and ratio off The first few bars Of Dixie
with pronounced di5tinctness and the
most ccstatic delight. Her master had
of course taught her to do it.
"After the war he took his snake back
to the Arkansas farm, and in a little
while her progeny was wonderful. When
l went to see him fifteen years ago his
barnyard was given over to rattlesnalses,
ana on signal from linn, by ringing a
bell, the reptiles would dash to the cen
ter Of the yard, and the clang Of Dixie
that the swift movements of their tails
produced was as deafening as it was in
