FOURTH FORGED NOTE.


sT. JoHNsBuRY, Aug. Eft is now 10
days since the forgercs OF Charles T. Walter
came to light, but the interest in the mat
tor still keeps up. The local papers have
all commented on the case, but none of
them spoke of a fourth forged note of 50
q, o which Is at the LyDdonvile National
bank
In 1889 T. G. Fletcher endorsed this noto
and it was discounted to run six months.
This note was renewed every six months,
Col. Fletcher's name being forged whsn-
ever the note was renewed. This makes
SIS 100 in notes which have T. c. Fletchor's
forged name on their backs. Mr.. Walter
confessed that these were forycries before
the arrest was made.
Besides the forged paper Col. Fletcher
has endorsed Walters notes to the amount
OF nearly SID 600. Col. Fletcher has no
security for these notes and will therefore
havo to pay them.
investigation shows Mr.. Walters indebt-
edness to be considerably over $50, 900, and
some place it as high as SO, 600, How a
man could spend that sum in st. Johusbury
in five yenrs, is something that is
yet to be explained. If be was engaged in
speculation certainly no one in st. Johns
bury ever knew it.
Among the many false reports circu' ated
is one that be is crazy. That is untrue. he
does not seem TO realize what has happened
and his whole system has received Il severe
shCck, but he is not insane or out OF his
head.
1t is generally believed that the case will
never come to trial, and that bis brother
in-law, who in wealthy Now York manu-
fGcturer, will pay the forged notes. 1t is
hardly supposable that he will pay all the
genuine notes, though Mr.. Hall is able to dc
it.
The Republican comes up smiling every
morning under the combined Management
and editorship of Edward Johnson, former
ly of the FREE PRESS. Mr.. johnson ha,
been here since tho paper started in 1898,
and is capable to run either the business OF
editorial department of she paper. Mis-

Blown over-Pastor's Close Can.
RUTLAND, Aug 90. The steeple OF the
French Catholic church, in process OF con-
struction on Lincoln avenue in this city
was wrecked by the fierce wind storm that
swept over this section about clock this
morning.
The body Of this church is practically
completed and is Of a blue marble. The
framework for the steeple, constructed OF
heavy tlmbers and reaching from the top of
the belfry to height OF over 80 feet n
the midst OF the storm this morning wGs
seen TO sway to and fro and finally toppied
over and crashed through the roof OF the
parsonage Immediately north of it, and
went through 20 the cellar. About one
third of the roof and the entire structure
clear to the cellar is q wreck.
Rev. Mr.. Proulix, the pastor OF the church,
was in the house at the time and barely es-
capped with his life, as the heavy tiH1bars
came within few feet OF him as Sboy
crashed through the house.
Tle fine residence OF Mrs. Meldon Just
north OF the par rsonage luckily escaped with
! but slight damage.
1t is the opinion of people generally that
the frame work was but lily constructed
| and not prepared for the storm that struck
it this morning. The wrecked house called
out hundreds of the people Of this city to
view it during the day.
