Protracted litigation is in prospect be
tween the town and y. r. Sprague. The
listers last spring decided that Mr.. Sprague
was not a resident of Brandon, and so did
not assess him for poll tax. The
resul, OF this was to make Mr..
Spraguc's Brandon bank stock taxable
here, with no allowance for offsets. to
which he would be entitled ii a resident.
Mr.. Sprague refused to pay the tax, on the
ground that he was a resident of Brandon,
and therefore his list was illegal. He
claims that he has never lost his residence
here has always voted here, always claim
ed this town as his residence and still re-
tains his homestead here, which he intends
in the future again to occupy as his home.
The taN-collector levied upon thirteen
shares OF the First National bank, which
were sold at auction on the nth for enough
to pay the tax and costs. 1t is supposed
that Mr. Sprague will now bring suit
against the collector or some other officer
for their alleged Illegal proceedings. The
question involved is novel one, disputes
as to domicle generally arising from claim
of some tax payer that he is nonresident
which is Just the reverse of this case.

Riot Mt MnnsheId. Pa.

A mob of dissatisfied miners, Huns,
Slavs, Poles and other foreigners, swept
through the Mansfield valley, in Allegheny
county, Pa, Saturday, destroying mine
property and intimidating men who were
at work. Tracks were torn up, cars were
destroyed, and the Schultz tippe at
Bridgeville was burned. AT Bradling a
fight occurred. in which Stepig, one of the
rioters, was fatally wounded. A band of
citizens from Bridgeville, led by a man
whose store had been plundered, armed
themselves and followed, and dispersed the
rioters, capturing Is of them. Later over
20 others were arrested. The prisoners
were taken to Mansfield. All the mines in
the district were guarded by deputy sheritfs
Saturday night. The value of the proper
ty destroyed is estimated at from $50, 200
to 100000

From the Maine Farmer

Vermont leads the states in its dairying.
1t has been longest at it, it has had a class
of intelligent men engaged in it who have
from the start made the work study, and
as the pioneers dropped ont by the way
other men have taken it up and have gone
on with their investigations as they have
with work. They are welded to no old
notions, but are ready at all times to be
guided by that intelligence which they are
diligently applying to the business. In i'm
proved methods all along the way and in
the better appliances for the work there
has been hardly step taken in the bust
ness i'm this country but it can be credited
to that state. Its products are OF the high
est merit, while its herds take the lead in
average to the COW. just whether this last
is to the credit of the cows or to the knowl
edge and skill of the men who handle them,
is mooted question. Many yields OF
large herds reach an average of 325 ant
$50 pounds: while some have gone as higl
as 400 pounds.

Rev. DE-. Pnrkhurs,,s Nork.

The amount of work that Rev. DR.. Park
hurst of New York is attempting is alarm
ing his friends, although he shows no signs
of exhaustion. He not only directs the at
fairs of large parish with the help of only
one assistant, besides preparing and deliv-
ering his Sunday sermons, but he is, as all
the country knows, conducting his crusade
against the police as president of the socie-
ty for the prevention of vice, He has
thrown himself with his whole soul into
this work. His mail is very large and he
receives about - callers every day. He
has lately undertaken the editorial drec-
ton of journal devoted to municipal re-
form. His presence at public meetings is
in constant request. DR., Parkhurst S
church is one of the few downtown
Protestant churches that have not moved
into the more fashionable neighborhood,
uptown. He has the backing of a very
strong congregation.

4 s4,OOO,OOO Ronrd NH.

The heirs of Col. Nicholas Lott of Penn
sylvania have presented bill against the
United States for 81 100000 for board an
lodging furnished Gen. Washington and
his army at Valley Forge, and Congress is
asked to appropriate the money to pay it..
The modern Lott claim that Washington's
army camped on his ancestral acres, burn
ed his ancestral wood and appropriated to
their own use the chickens and other live
stock which wandered over his ancestral
farm. 1t is a stable board bill when the
tradition of the kind of a winter Washing
ton passed at Valley Forge is remembered
The sum of S4,OOO,OO0 would have sus-
tanned the whole of that starving, freezing
army in luxury for all the winters of the
war, and the original Nicholas would have
probably given it all if he had possessed
it to have advanced the cause for which
Washington was struggling and suffering.

The New Normal school Building at
Randolph.

The new building for the normal school
at Randolph is completed, ready for occu-
pancy. 1t was erected to take the place of
the one burned last September. 1t is a
two-story structure, so by 80 feet, with a
front entrance Is by 81 feet. 1t has a hip
roof, and belfry surmounts it, in which
will hang the old bell, which was saved
from the two fires of last fall and was in
use on the old Orange county grammar
school. A. W. Tewkesbury IL Sons were
the contractors, and they will receive
$4,000. The foundation was put in by the
citizens, and the plumbing was done on a
separate contract. The total cost of con-
struction was about $4,000. The new
building is admirably adapted for conven-
fence and safety, and the school, which has
been very prosperous under the manage
ment Of Edward Conant, will, undoubted-
ly, receive an impetus as a result of its
new accommodations.

4 Vermont Man Drowned in the Lake
in Central Park.

The body of Edward l.. Ford was found
in the lake in Central park, New York,
Monday. He was travelling salesman
for Dentist Supply company. Ford came
to New York from Isle La Note about
four years ago. When n years old he ran
for member of the assembly. 1t is believed
that, in order to make a short route to his
home, he started to walk across the lake
and accidentally fell through the ice and
was drowned. There is no suspicion of
foul play OF suicide. In Mr. Ford's peck
cts were found $50 in cash and a gold
watch and chain. Ford's brother is a
prosperous farmer in the northern part of
| Vermont.

The Turks Refuse to he Connected

Bishop Potter of New York, who is just
back from a trip abroad is forced to the
conclusion that Christianity has not made
as great an impression as might be desired
upon the followers of Mohammed. oil and
water do not easily mix, he says, and can
did missionary experience must own that
Christianity, as a religion, has made as yet
no appreciable inroads upon the people and
the religion of Mohammed. He pressed
this question upon the teachers and mis-
siOnares, and got substantially the same
answer. Christian missions have accomp-
lished considerable results in the Turkish
empire, but not among the Turkish people.
SO far as Constantnople is concerned, the
saddest part of it all seems that Christian
nations have taught the Turks their vices
and little more. They have modified their
habits, but not greatly for the better, The
Turk has initiated the dress and military
fashions of European nations, but at loss
of his own picturesquenesS and original
bearing. The army of the sultan is me-
chanical and often grotesque copy of the
German army. What the Turk in his inn
ported clothes is like may be imagined from
the bishops statement that a Turk, man
or woman, in European costume, reminds
one of North American Indian in a badly
fitting dress suit.

Burlington last week, when these officers
were elected: President, w. g. Larabee,
Larabee's Point; vice presidents, E. j..
Smith, Addison, O. j. Lowrey, Jericho,
F. NJ. Wright, East Enosburgh, j. w.
Smith, Moscow, f. NJ. Cram, West Brook
field; II. l.. Leonard Brandon secretary
and treasurer, II. w. Scott, Barre. The
reports of members showed they controlled
a total of 1880 colonies last spring, and
2096 in the tall. From these 54,713
pounds of honey were made during 1898,
which is believed to be about two-thirds
the total amount made in the state. The
association drew up "a resolution protesting
against reduction of the tariff on honey,
to be presented to Congress. The lower
duties on honey it was thought would in
crease the importation of honey from the
tropical countries, against which American
honey would be obliged to compete.

acres of Golden Gate park have been de-
voted to the exposition. This space is
covered by five main buildings, grouped
about a central concert valley, from the
centre of which rises an electric tower,
2G0 feet in height. NJ. ii. De Young, pro-
prietOr of the san Francisco Chronicle,
who is the director general of the fair, was
largely instrumental in having it estab
lished.

Our Treasury Vaults Condemned.

A commission of experts appointed to
investigate the safe and vault construction
of the treasury department have submitted
their report. The vaults in the big treas
ury building are characterized as disgrace
to the government, and of such obsolete
character, nferiority of construction and
minimum of security as would cause them
to be rejected as unfit for use by any coun-
try bank in backwoods town. The real
safety of the treasury lies in its system of
guards and police protection.

jumped upon the back of the stuffed ami
NAL The back caved in, and he drop
ped on the robber inside and sat on him
until the next station was reached, when
he was turned over to the authorities.
The safe contained $4,000. Evidently
Dalton had confederates who were to act
at his signal.
