curious local negroes. No arms were seen
 upon any person. Just behind kolb's inn
 provised wagon rostrum was a theatrical
 bill board, and upon it the mammoth
 grinuing cat used by the "Charley's Aunt'' company. Above the cut were in
 large lettering the words, 'Do nothing
 until see you.' As the conconrse upon
 the capitol grounds viewed Koib on hls
 wagon in front of the comical back ground
 broad smiles were seen on all sides.
 Kolb delivered very short speech, In
 which he deelared that he was not attempt
 iug to exeits passion or to advise any un-
 lawful proceedings. He asserted that he
 had been lawfully elected and had been de-
 frauded; that he had pursued this course
 simply to emphasiZs the position Of him
 self and party against the usurpation oI
 hls office. He stated that if fair and
 honest contest law is passed by the present
 general assembly that would settle all
 trouble and be satisfactory to the people as
 well as him. If this aet of justice k denied
 then he will make an appe Il to the general
 government. He concluded with advising
 moderation and against any unlawful pro
 ceediug.
 He was followed by Dr. c. B. Grove,
 who is now under indictment for murder
 and one of the most lncendlary hoiolte
 speakers during the campaign. lie said ne was called an anarchist, out he wanted To advise his hearers now to be D psaceabie, not 10 commit my overt act, to leave ths mat ter 10 the leaders.

 After he had finished a lot of the crowd
 caught hold of the wagon on which the speakers were standing and pulled It some distance up the street. His crowd quickly dispersed, someof them following him of
 into the city and others joining the large assem blage la lthe capitol grounds. Half
 an hour or more after Koib had made his com cal and pitiable attempt at sensa- tion, the inaugural procession escorting Governor-e e3t Q O4tes moved up the broad avenue to the capitol.
 i Notwithstanding there were by this II m e half dozen military companies In the | capitol grounds, there were dozen or l more companies left 10 escort the carriages containing the various state officers, legls- | lative committees, etc.

GOV. N. [. OATES. The Inauguration of Democ-
 racy's Choice Was Without Incident Save
 the Usual Routine.
Kolb's Fiasco Made Him the Laughing-Stock of All.
Marched Up the Hilland Down Again, But Not as Cov-
 GrnOf.

MONTGOMERY, Dec. 1.-The lst day ot Dece Der has come and gone in Alabama's capital and all has bean as quiet, peaceful and orderly as upou any previous inaugu- ration day in Its history. Col. w. C.. Oates has been duly installed as governor, and not blow has been struck, not gun fired, not drop of blood spilled, notwith- standing all the wild rumors that have been sent out for week past by sensa- tonal correspondents.
 The weather has been admirable for some days, and today has been ideal in every respect. However, there was not any usual influx oi visitors to the city. Last night aud this morning perhaps 200 of Kolb's followers, for the most part in typi- cal farmers dress, came 10 the city. but there was no display of arms of any sort.
 Before 10 o'clock this morning the casual observer would have barely discerned that it was gala day. At that hour the local
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-12-02

members of the legislature strongly disap- proved Kolb's action today, a' was shown by their resolutions in caucus several nights ago. Some of his principal leaders, like Skaggs and Bowman, were not in the city.
 Many of his supporters condemn bis course as disloyal to the conclusion of their party as expressed in the general conven- ton here on November P.
 Nearly all of the hundred or two follow CTS. who were here today in response to his foolish address, were oi the comparatively ignorant rank aud file from the interior districts.
 Nearly all of these looked very much dis gusted with today's farce and the impress. sion is common that he has 10 gered himself in the estimation of his party by his ridic- uous performance.

 was going to proceed, with his handful Of followers, to the capitol, there 10 go through ihe form of taking the oath of office and 10 make an address. Soon alter wards company of mounted cavalry pro- ceeded to the capi oi nnI drew themselves up in line 10 the side of the front of the building. Next company of infantry ap- ueared and lined itself on the stone steps and approaches leading up to the building. Another company formed lines at the gate to the grounds. All citizens, however, hundreds of ladies and children gathered in the grounds in front of the historical edifice.
 A squad of city police had charge of the steps leading up the hill to the grounds, Of the stone waksl 10 the buildings and of the Greek columned portico Of the capitol. No one was allowed 10 remain on the steps or approaches or to enter the portico.
 About 10 80 o'clock it spread through the crowd that kolo had taken the oath before justice of the peace down towp, ana was merely cofring up to the capto.. to make his speech. About II o 'ciocK he appeared walking up the half-miie ascent 10 the grounds. He was escorted by perhaps h!ty persons. He and his party were readily passed through the gates by tue guards. but upon a. cending the steps leading up 10 the stone walk approaches, the police told them, as they had every body else, that they must proceed 10 the right or left upon the grounds. Kob and his party proceeded around 10 the right oi the building upon the grass.
 Pro sently w. s. Reese, Jr., who ran for attorney eenera on Kolb's ticket, went to one Of Governor Jones' secretaries and asked if KoIb would be allowed 10 make a speech on the grounds. The secretarg re- piled that he could not speak officially, but that he was sure that KolD would not be permitted 10 do so. Then Kolb himself came and saw Governor Jones, who replied that Colonel Oates had been declared elected governor by the only power in ihe state competent to do so--the assembly, and tha. he, as :he executive, would not permit any one To enter the capitol build ing for any inaugural ceremony except Colonel Oates, and tha, il kolb attempted to make an inaugural address in the grounds he would cerIainiy have him ar rested. Kcib then ask, if there was my | objection 10 his speaBiDg in the street out hide.

 atever. Accordingly K oib and his fol-
 ITS left the grounds. They simply

JAIL BREAKER CAPTURED.

Sheriff Kelley and Deputy Sheriff Ladd
of st. Albans last week captured one Ma
poleon Gaudette, an escaped Jail bird,
near Champlain, N. Y. This prisoner
has record. Some ten years ago he es-
capped from Officer BiOln~ of st. Albans,
after pulling out lie of the latter's
whiskers and pulling him out of his
sleigh. Then he got two or three years
in the Kingston, p O., penitentiary for
something done in Canada. Afterward
he escaped from the Montreal Jail
through a sewer. Again he was arrested
six years ago, by the constable, now
Sheriff Kelley of st. Albans, in Canada,
for horse stealing, and he came over the
line willingly. In two weeks he had tLn-
nelled through the wall and under the
sidewalk, coming out upon the street
and escaping. He once slipped out Of
his coat and escaped from officers
at Enosburgh. Then he escaped
from officers at North Adams, Mass, and
last year broke Jail at Manchester. Hei
spent the winter at COhoes and went to
Champlain about three weeks ago. The
St. Albans officers got word of his pres,
ence and went over. Accompanied by
Officer Biglow and two others, they went
to his fathers residence at IL O'Clock at
night and sought admittance. After
some delay the old gentleman admitted
them. Two went up stairs, but soon
came back reporting their man not there,
Sheriff Kelley was dissatisfied and he
went up the ladder. The mother c6oly
proceeded with making her toilet, but
she diGa't frighten Barney Kelley, whose
quick eye detected an unevenness of the
bed, and upon pulling up the bedding
he discovered this modern Napoleon of
crime between the ticks. Gaudette,
who is about thirty years of age and
small but wiry, fought like demon, but
he was soon overpowered and .ironed.
Refusing to go to Vermont willingly, he
was taken to Plattsburgh Jail Wednest

mont in General Convention, the 7th day
of June Ammo Domini 1777. !, .
by order. e.. .,
Joseph Bowker,; President.
Jonas Fay, Secretary" -
This proclamation was decreed at one
of the numerous conventions which were
held in quick succession by the Green
Mountain Boys at this time when the es-
tablishment of government for the new
independent State and preparations for a
long and bloody war, were proceeding
hand in hand.
Even while it was being prepared, Bur-
gOyne's army with it's Indian allies was
lowering about the borders of the COM
mOnwealth, and it was in fear that the
murderous redskins would at any mo-
ment be turned loose in a general mas
sacre of the defenceless and at that time
inhabitants of the Cham
plain valley that prompted the reference
to the 'savages' in tine proclamation.
How the Green Mountain Boys met
that army and those savages in the fol-
lowing August and put them to flight in
the great battle of Bennington, is mat
ter of glorious history.

vERMONTS FIRST FAST DAY.

To-day is East Day" in this State.
Massachusetts, does not observe, from
henceforth, this Puritan day. This
morning union services were held in the
Methodist church, the Rev. A. D. Heaxt
preaching the sermon. In this connec-
tion 1t may be of interest to read the first
Fast Day proclamation ever published ip
Vermont.
1t will be recalled that the early in
habitants of this section, after vainly en-
deavoring for years to become independ-
ent of the jurisdiction of the New York
and New Hampshire colonies, by both of
which their territory was claimed, and
after several times fruitleSsly petition
ing the Continental Congress to ac-
knowledge them as n separate and a
fourteenth colony in the new American
federation, finally declared their own in
dependence at convention held at West
minister January 18th, TIT.
New Connecticut was the name first
chosen for the commonwealth, afterward
changed to Vermont.
1t was, then, as an independent state,
with its own presi lent, that the first Fast
Day was observed by Vermonters.
The text of the proclamation is inter-
esting for the reason that it reflects the
perilous situation in which the people
found themselves because of the bold
and decisive stand they had taken against
Great Britain and their neighbor colo
MES. 1t reads as follows:
"Since God has been pleased in his
Wisdom to visit the inhabitants of this
land with his just judgments, by suffer
ing our unnatural enemies to wage war
against us, the pestilence to prevail and
the many other calamities with which we
are now threatened as a just reward for
the many prevailing sins committed
against the Divine Law, we have sufi-
cient reason to believe calls aloud on his
people for solemn Fasting and Prayer.
We have. therefore, thought fit to ap,
point and do hereby appoint Wednesday,
the 18th day of June instant to be OBJ
served as day of public fasting and
prayer throughout this State, and do
earnestly recommend to the good people
thereof to observe the same as such,
that we may humble our hearts before
God and implore Him to avert the inn
pending judgments, remove the sword of
our unnatural enemies from us, sanctify
the awful frowns OF Divine Providence,
grant his blessings ON our councils and
arms and direct our generals, guard this
State from the invasion of the savages,
