DAVID ST. VIRUS BARTON, the itinerant
pencil peddler, shook his way into County
| Clerk Smiles office, yesterday, and alleged
that he had been robbed of about twenty
dollars. David had been drinking heavily
| the evening before, and when he advanced
so far in his cups that his centripetal mo-
! ton overcame the centrifugal, he could
| walk pretty straight. He stated that he
had spent the night with Pete Amo, Amas,
Amat, or some other amorous individual
and that when he came to in the morning
his pill had gone. j. H. Lucia took the
| case in hand
DIR. j. ID. LANCE was expected home from
! Barre on the six o'clock train, last Friday
evening, and his man-at-arms started to
| drive to the station to meet him. He came
| down Main street at about three. m mute
| clip, and swung around the corner of State
street in style. The boy landed near Tap
Inns store-1oor, while the horse struck Teh-
riault's job team, broke a fore leg and fell
! Shortly afterward its miseries were ended
! by blow from an ak. The mare had been
owned by the doctor for several years and
was highly valued by him.
THERE was meeting of college men at

The members of the Chautauqua class
who were able to avail themselves of the
kind courtesy of its president, Miss Bailey,
were agreeably entertained at her home last
Friday afternoon. At the close of the regu-
lar class work the hostess introduced Rev
Mr.. Gallagher, who had kindly consented
to give an informal talk upon Greek philoso-
ply. He congratulated the class upon
living in an age when women desirous of
achievement in knowledge were not de
]
women of Greece. At the close of his re-
marks the speaker received the cordial
thanks OF the president and class, who would
be glad to listen to him again when home
anu social duties are lighter and the class
can have larger representation.
G ID. CHASE has promising future before
him-a future which promises to land him in
the state prison at Windsor unless he leaves
| the state, in which event he will probably
fetch up at some less classic gaol.
Chase had been working for Carl n.
Benedict OF Barre, He had aspirations
above farm hand, however; he wanted
to be a robber bold. So last Friday,
while Benedict and his wife were absent
Chase stole gold watch and about $40 in
money, hired a team of Liveryman Gale
and came to Montpelier. He entered the
Pavilion between nine and ten o'clock had
his team stabbed, and hired room Shortly
aiterward he reappeared, clad in a brand
new suit OF fine fabrics, which he had pur-
chased OF the Capital Clothing Company.
He tipped the elevator boy, remarked to
the clerk that he would be back in half an
hour, and went out. He has not been seen
| since.
THE mistake of Larner, the train dis
patcher who caused the freight pile-up, last
week, is explained. Larner had charge of
the wire from ST, Albans TO Roxbury. At
Essex junction he gave orders to No. II not
| 10 run past RoXbury without further orders.
IL had been his custom, heretofore to give
| NO. ii orders only To Montpelier Junction,
and when the train arrived there, TO give
the order where TO meet train NJ. When the
men of train NJ inquired for orders, he sent
instructions off-hand-not referring TO his
book or record-to proceed to Montpelier
Junction He did not discover that he had
made blunder until the operator at Mont
pelier Junction reported No. IL as by that
station. 1t occurred to him then, and he
sent ont an engine from the Junction to
overtake No. IL, but it could not be done
before the two trains met. Larner is now
out Of a job. His mistake has cost the Cen.
trail between $4,000 and $50 000
