The Brooklyn Society of Vermont
ers held their fourth annual dinner
January 18th. Robert j. Kimball OF
West Randolph presided and acted a.
POSTMASTER. There were fully 100
persons present. The speakers OF the
evening were all natives of Vermont.
Before the dinner began, letter
was read from Senator Morrill,, stat

The toasts and speakers were as FOL
flows:
"Nermont-a small but mighty peo'
pie, :" by II. 6. Horr.
sVerInont-the offspring of contro-
versv and war; Gen. G. NJ. Dodge.
"Vermont, as her wont, when called
to any work, leads the way. "-Hon.A'
II. Steele.
vermont, her wives and dangll-
tiers. -Rev. T. p. Frost.
After dinner was served, the speech
making began and lasted until mid
night. The speakers were loudly APP
plauded.
In the course of his speech. ex-con-
gfessman Horr said: at has long been
considered an axiom in moral science
that other things being equal, SIZE =
the measure of power. The leading
part which this State has taken Is due
TO the fact that other things are sell
dom equal. Many men have lived
and died with brain as large as
Webstcr's or Cuvier's and yet have
never had any mental power above
those Of an ordinary Hottentot.

Big Fire at Milton.

At $3.50 a. m, Jan. Is, the graded
school building of Milton was discov-
cred TO be on fire. The fire was first
seen in the cupola and is supposed TO
have caught from defective chimney.
The ianitor had built a fire in the
furnace short time before and left
the building. The schoolhouse was
a wooden structure, and with no
means at hand and strong south
wind. was soon mass of flames.
Fire was soon communicated to St.
Anne's Catholic church which stood
near by. The church was a brick
structure. the fire catching in cor
nice. and it was soon ablaze. The
sparlls were blown across the road.
and the barns of Miss Mary L. Ward,
occupied by c. ). Ashley, were soon
on fire.
Nothing in the upper story Of the
sehoolhouse was saved, and the furni-
ture OF the church was a total loss.
The barns of G. ;. Ashley were fill
ed with hay and few farming inn
PIGMENTS. which were saved. Several
dwelling houses, which stood in close
vicinity to the burning buildings, were
saved only by hard work.
The buildings were all insured, but
the total loss VIII reach $4,000. The
insurance is as follows: on the school,
house, $4,000, in the Vermont Mutuali
on the church, $500, and on Miss
Wards barns, $500.
The loss is a severe one for Milton,
as st. Anne's congr sgation is poor and
there is no other building in the vii
lage suitable for school purposes. A
new school building viii be built as
soon as possible, but the church win
not be rebuilt until late in the year.

RETIRED NO POLICEMEN.

The Police Beard wsuts - Kssw Ftrst ~
There Il Arythtpe Against the Mes.
The Police Board refused yesterday 10 retire
Policeman Henry McArdle, who has served
twenty years. and against whom no charges are
pending. McArdle was formerly detective at
the Grand Central Depot. He was accused be-
fore the Lexow committee of being in league
with green goods men. The Board did not act
upon his application for retirement when II was
filed, and McArdle went before Judge Giegerich,
who granted q writ Of mandamus commanding
the Board to act one way or the other. The Cor
poration Counsel also advised the Board that it
must act
The Commissioners in taking up the McArdle
case also heard report from Superintendent
Byrnes on the applications for retirement Of the
following officers:
Sergeant Horace NJ Wells Of Union Market
Sergeant William Kass OF Madison street, Ser
geant Charles Pless OF Church street, Detective
Sergeants Edgar Slausson. Samuel q. Sheldon,
and Charles o'Connor. and Patrolmen Warren
Harrington OF the Sanitary company. Dennis
Mcmahon of East oath street, Charles O'Dooley
of East Twenty-second street, John Fay of Har-
bridge street, John McCabe of East 1O4th
street, and D9 e9In rs SOLOMON Br5nd,
reported, that no charges were pending. against
any Of the officers named. including McArdle,
ana tnht ne nau Deen lnIOrIneu Oy Mr. W Gilman
that no charges were In preparation against any
OF the men.
President Martin said the Superintendent
report did not go far enough.
"What this Board wants TO know he said,
"is whether any evidence has been presented
before the Lexow committee on which charges
might he based"
The Board then took a vote on McArdles APP
plication, and voted unanimously against re-
firing him. Superintendent Byrnes was sent
for and told that IL was the wish of the Board
that he should consult with Mr. Wellman and
ascertain whether any evidence has been adj
duced before the senate committee on which the
officers seek ing retirement might he put on trial
in the near future. No action was taken In any
Of the other retirement cases. and the applica-
tions OF Detective Sergeants Michael Crowley,
Silas w. Rogers, and former Steamboat Squad
Detective cannon were also laid over.
