The continued strike in the coal re-
gions is beginning to effect the railroads,
and unless work is resumed before long
much traffic on them will have to be
Withdrawn. The Now York Central rail-
road has scarcely enough coal on hand
now to supply its engines for three or
four days at the most. From Saturday
until midnight Monday IL trains were
taken off the upper and Northern di-
visions. In East Albany, where all pass
engsr engines running between Albany
and New York take their supply, but
fifteen cars of coal are on hand, which
can last only DAY or two. 1t is under
stood that the company has sent to
Wales for large supply, and that sever
al steamers arenoW on.the way. Owing
to the limited supply. of fuel, the COM
pany has issued orders to carry nothing
except perishable freight. The Boston
and Albany railroad has enough coal
stored in East ALBANY to run their sys-
tenn for at least SIX weeks to come. The
Bennington and Rutland has coal enough
to run them some time, but economy in
its use is the order of the day. The Cent
raj Vermont is said to have but small
supply on hand.
The engineers on the Lebanon Springs
railroad began using wood to-day, their
supply of coal having run out.

The Bennington BANNER, alive to the ever in
creasing demands Of the public upon the press,
has merged into = semi-Weekly instead of =
weekly as heretofore. The plan adopted by the
BANNER is such that no extra price Of Subscrp-
ton will be charged; advertisers will be charged
but nominal increase. and the public in general
will be served the neWs-While 1t iS news. sim
liar plan has long been considered by the Demo
Graf, and we hope to be with the BANNER soon.
The BANNER viii be issued Tuesdays and Fridays
and commends itself to the public.-Hoosich FSllS
Democrat.
The Bennington BANNER is now being published
semi-Weekly. The venture shows that its pub
fishers are up to date, and are ready to give all
their support warrants. The Democrat extends
its compliments and good wishes to the BANNER.
Berkshire Democrat.
The Bennington BANNER has changed from .
weekly to a semi-weekly. We believe that this
is the coming plan for all country papers,. The
people want the news, and want it fresh. This Is
shown by the rapidly increasing circulation OF
daily papers In the country towns AS very few
country dailes pay expenses they are out of the
question in most places; while in all the leading
towns, . live. newsy semi-weekly would pay.
We tried the experiment in limited way once
and found that It did pay.--Herdld and NetCs.

Memorial DaY,
THE boys in blue are growing gray,
Each wear their ranks grow thinner"

Inc boys IN Dlu0 are RIOWlnB gray,
Each year their ranks grow thinner"
Arrangements for the observance of
the day haye been perfected, and it
promises to be unusually we'll observed.
1t is suggested that the display of flags
be as general as possible. Displays of
the National colors, for the upholding of
which many of those whose graves we
decorate lost their lives, goes far to keep
up spirit Of patriotism and love of
country among the younger generations.
The Posts will meet at their separate
rooms in the morning. Custer Post,
Richard M. Houghton commander, will
march to the Centre and decorate the
graves of veterans in the old cemetery,
and the Catholic cemetery adjoining.
The 9th Corps Post, Alba Buss comman-
der, will go to the village cemetery and
do likewise. Detatchments from the
Posts will proceed to the various ceme-
teries in outlaying districts and decorate
the graves in them. At l O'Clock D. m.
the parade will be formed, right resting
on South street, J. 1. LOOMS grand
marshall. 1t will be composed of the
Grand Army Posts, WOman's Relief
Corps, Sons of Veterans, officers OF the
day, invited guests, and escorted by the
Bennington Rifles, Capt FL. ID. Fillmore
and City Band, will march through some
of our principal streets to the Soldiers
Home, where memorial exercises will
be held. The address by Seymour Van
Santvoord will be delivered from the
porch of the chapel. Following the ex-
ercises there both Posts will march to
the depot and take special train for
North Bennington, when the graves in
the cemetery there will be decorated
The president of the day is Harry T.
Cushman. 1t has not been definitely
settled if the Graded School cadets will
turn out with the parade OF not.
There are now in the village cemetery
Al old veterans. During the past year
there have been the following burials
there: Wm. Henry French, Jr., 44tb.
Massachusetts,, whose remains were
brought here, and Frank Albee, 9Th Con-

SUPREME COURT OF VERMONT.

SUPREME COURT OF VERMONT.
The May term of the Supreme Court
of Vermont convened at Montpelier last
week. The entire bench were present
except Judge Start, and after the ar
rival of the trains, about the usual mum.
Der of attorneys. The docket was then
called; about 30 cases wero marked for
hearing, with a possible hearing in sew
eral others. The prospect is for q short
term.
Tho first case heard was Clark Snow,
ct al, vs.. town Of Sandgate. The petit
toner, Snow, owns two let's of land in
Sandgate, 40 rods apart, which he wishes
connected by highway. The interven-
ing space is owned by another party who
objects. There is already . clrcuitious
highway connecting the two lots. The
majority of the commissioners appointed
by Bennington County Court reported in
favor of laying out the road, but the
County Court dismissed the petition.
H. K. Fuller and W. B. Sheldon for Pc
titioners, and o. M. Barber for defend
ant.
Hartford Steam Boiler and Insurance
Company VS.. Lasher Stocking Company,
appellant, comes from Bennington
county. 1t seems that there was some
defect in the steam boiler of the defend
ant, whereby the plaintiff cancelled the
insurance policy, and as the amount of
the premium had not been paid sued to
recover. The defendant claims that, as
in case of loss it could not have recov-
cred, it is not under obligations to the
plaintiff. The amount involved is lit
tie over 500. G. H. Darling for plain
tiff, and W. B. Sheldon for defendant.

Mcleod, from Orleans county; Arthur
Taylor vs.. Charles Mclaughlin from Es-
sex county; the three cases of A. #.

Caledonia National Bank VS.. Mitchell
Goslant, from Caledonia county; Alvin

in Orange, from Orange county, the
| Judgments of the respective County
Courts were affirmed.
In the Wednesdays proceedings we
| find the following: The case of DIN
Bennington county, and is An action of
audita querela. It appears that on May
9Th, 1893, Emory S. Harris, justice of
the peace, rendered Judgment in favor
Of the present defendant in q suit
brought by him against the present
plaintiff for the sum Of $19 damages and
costs, in an action of general assumpsit.
As in that suit the present defendant
furnished specifications and exhibits to
the amount of SLID and although the
ad damnum in the writ was limited ia
$1S, in consequence Of the amount of the
specifications and exhibits he claimed
the right to an appeal. which the justice
refused, as the ad damnum was less than
the 500 limit of exclusive justice jnris-
diction. The County court sustained
the justice, to which the plaintiff ex.
cepted. w. B. Sheldon for the plaintiff,

TIE New York Press and the Spring
field Union have contained accounts,
which no other papers had-of an assault
on Bishop Hall during one of his services
at New York Sunday. As they tell it, a
woman came into the church and kneeled
at the altar and after one of the ushers
noticed her and requested her to take a
seat, she darted up the chancel steps,
umbrella in hand, and raised it for blow
at the Bishop. But the usher followed
and caught her arm in season to save the
Bishop or the umbrella or both, and hus-
tied her out of the church. But the GU
rious thing about the item is that no
name is given, indicating that she may
have been of a prominet family.
THE new domestic money-order forms,
which have been issued by the postof-
fee department. are quite different from
the old forms, the new having a coupon
with marginal check, the coupon to be
forwarded to the auditorfor the postof-
fee department once week. The order
and advice are both printed on the same
sheet and are more elaborate than the
old form. On the face of the new form
a space is provided for the transfer OF
the order by the payee to a second per
son, and the name of the payee is in
serted in the body of the order by the is
suing postmaster. A metal cutter is fur.
nished with the forms, for detaching
the coupons which run from nine cents
to 500, the smaller figures being neces-
sary in various combinations. The new
forms will be gradually introduced until
June Both, when the last of the old
forms will be used.
