Burglar in Custody.

Sheriff Wilson went to Albany We'd
nesday, carrying with him a requisitiOn
from Gov. Fuller to Gov. Flower of New
York, for the delivery to him of Elmer
Glow. Glow completed term in the
Albany penitentiary Thursday, for a
burglary, and as soon as released was
handed over to Sheriff Wilson, who
brought him here and locked him up in
Jail. There are two indictments against
Glow in the Bennington County Court;
one for burglary, and one for Jail break
ing. In the early part of 1899, the store
of w. p. Mattison III South Shaftsbury,
was entered by burglars and considera-
BILE of the contents taken. The crime
was traced to Glow, Billy Pease and
VIM. Trimble, all of whom were arrest
ed. Pease has since died, and Trimble
is said to be in Wisconsin. While in
Jail at Manchester, in July, 1889. Glow
and Trimble escaped from the Jail by
crawling through the stove pipe hole in
the ceiling, and going out through the
roof. The other one escaped from the
Jail here, and none of them have eve +
been retaken. Glow is known as hard
one, but will now probably have ten
years. service for the benefit of the
State for both offenses.

Death at the Brakes.

The engine contest yesterday had been
nearly completed without accident or
mishap, until the Unions of Salem, n Y,
the last company, had taken position.
Just as the air had been pumped out, the
Captain of the Unions, Dr. Geo. H. Nc
Auley, who had taken hold of the brakes
with his men, leaving the foreman to di-
rect things, was seen to fall back as if
shot He was taken into the shade,
medical assistance summoned, but all in
vain-he died in few minutes. 1t was
a sad ending to what had been otherwise
so pleasant trip for the Unions. DR..
McAuley leaves wife, to whom he had
been married couple of years, and hosts
of friends in Washington county. On
behalf of the Vermont Association, the
fire department of Bennington, and 9th
ers we tender sympathy to Mrs. McAu-
ley and to the Company so sadly and
suddenly afflicted.

Death of Mrs. Clark.

Mrs. Elvira Gertrude, wife of John G..
Clark, died at the retreat in Brattleboro,
Wednesday, after long illness. She
was taken ill, as our readers know, in
the spring of 1898, and on July 5th, was
sent to the retreat for treatment. From
the first little hope has been held out of
her recovery, but, of course her husband
aud friends have seen times during the
year when they thought she was slightly
improved. All that medical skill could
do was done, with result as stated. Mrs.
Clark was the daughter of the late John
W. Shaw, and for considerable time,
both before and since her marriage, has
been well known here to quite an extend
ed circle of friends. She was member
of the o. E. S. and at the time of her at
tack, the treasurer of Mt. Anthony Chap
ter, No. /, of this village. Mrs. Clark
was, also, member of the W. r. c., her
husband being Union veteran. The
funeral will be held from St. Peters
church, tomorrow morning at 1880
o'clock. The Rev. George L. Richard
son will officiate, and the societies named
will attend the obsequies.
The remains arrived yesterday after
noon and were taken to the house of
Frank Smith on West Main street, from
thence they will be taken to the church,
the hour at the house being 10 o'clock.
The interment will be in the village Gem

frightened they did not dare to open the

Frank. "We're you in that crowd?

How does your work differ from that
of Anarchists? You have destroyed the
property of others, caused trouble
and expense to many poor people in
these hard times, frightened several
women (whose premises appear to have
suffered most in the distribution of your
favors), taking the risk of burning up a
house with its occupants, and of start
ing fire in nest of wooden buildings,
caused annoyance and expense to those
who never did you any harm; defaced
hundreds of dollars worth of walks, and
made altogether trouble and cost that
you would require many weeks of hard
labor to pay for; and you call it fun.
Ask yourself if it would be fun to you to
find your property spoiled and to be put
in danger of being burnt up with your
house and goods in the night?

to you, do ye even so to them"

County Court.

The adjourned session of the county
court, July 10th, did not last long. An
effort was made in the d. L. Kent &
Company case to have it go over the
term on account of the illness of S. F..
Prince, but the court decided that it is a
case of such nature that it should be
tried without delay, but at the request
of the defendants, adjourned the trial
until August 9th, to enable them to OBJ
tain witnesses. The application of Sun
derland for State aid in repairing the old
turnpike road, on report of the commits
sion, was granted to the amount of ST.
800 to be expended within five years.
Some other reports were made and cases
decided and court adjourned, being in
session only one afternoon.-Journal

heavy and stood on brickwork, but we
loosened the mortar and scattered the
bricks, and over the old slab went! And
we carried off an iron gate that was
chained to the ground. (You see it had
been cA ried off before). But we were
enough for it. Iron rivets can't stand
