THE VERMONT NEWS.
A Great Uprising

Against the Confirmation of the Ap-
pOintment Of Arthur g. Randall as
Postmaster Mt st. Johnsbury---Vhy
the People Object to the Man Press
Ident Cleveland Named for an Import
ant Position.
The post-office question is the absorbing
topic of discussion at St. Johnsbury. Ar
thur G.. Randall was nominated for post
master last June by President Cleveland,
but the nomination has never been con-
firmed by the Senate. He succeeded W.
w. Sprague, Republican, who had served
only II months of his term. The St.
Johnsbury public were very indignant over
Mr.. Sprague's removal. Randall was as
sistant postmaster under Mr.. Sprague, and
when the latter was critically i'll Randall
and Randalrs friends secured Sprague's
removal and Randalrs appointment. Such
trickery was denounced by Democrats and
Republicans alike, and an effort was made
to prevent Mr.. Randalls confirmation.
The story from here on is told as follows
by a correspondent of the Burlington Free
Press:
"Little was done, however, by either
side until the now famous letter-openng
matter came up. The last of November
Senator Proctor wrote a letter to a we'll
known citizen of st. Johnsbury. There
was unmistakable evidence that the letter
had been opened in the st. Johnsbury
post-oflice before being delivered. Before
this time there was a growing belief among
the bank men and Others that the privacy
of their mail had been interfered with, and
many letters were mailed elsewhere than
at the st-ofliCe, and in some cases seal
inc wax was uSpl on thp puvplOppS Whom

pany. On his person was gold watch
and chain, "a pocket book containing S10.30
and a certificate of deposit for $40 in the

days previous to the finding of the body,
Francis started across the lots in an intoX-
icated condition, intending to go to the sa-
looms on the road which leads to Granville.
1t is supposed that he fell asleep while on
the way and was frozen to death.

Objected to an Autopsy.
A Servants Attack ON the Physicians
who Attempted to Dissect His Master.


DIR. Bushnell of North Adams had a
rough experience Thursday in Stamford,
Bennington county, while holding an au-
topsy on the body of Henry G.. Barber,
who died very suddenly there from a fibrous
growth of the heart. Mr.. Barber had been
ailing for several years and before his
death, with the consent of his wife, in
structed DR.. Nichols to hold an autopsy on
his body DR.. Bushnell was called to as
sist in the autopsy. Thomas McLamey,
who had been for years Mr.. BARRIERS trust
ed servant, objected to having his masters
body cut up and threatened to shoot the
surgeons. The man was ordered from the
room and no more attention paid to his
threats until he attacked DR.. Nichols with
a pitchfork and inflicted a severe wound
on his head. The doctor escaped from
him and both surgeons went out to hitch
up their horse to 60 home. The enraged
man followed them, brandishing a long
handled fire-shOvel, and this time he al
tackled Dr. Bushnell, who warded off his
blows with a broken rail. The doctor
clinched with his assailant, and with the
aid of the other physician he was over
powered and disarmed. The doctors then
jumped into their sleigh and drove quickly
away.

Being Chased Half Way Across the
StNte---IO Bullets 20 Despatch Him.
\ big bear was killed in the township of
Lewis last week. He weighed $50 pounds
and his skin 80 pounds. He was native
of Morristown, where his consort was
killed by party of hunters. They
followed him for five days through the
forests, until exhausted, when another
party took up the chase and followed him
over mountains, across Willoughby lake,
into Essex county, to the Granl Trunk
railroad, where they lost the trail. That
night the hunters stopped with Luther
House, ''jobber' in the employ of the
Nulhegan Lumber company, and the next
day went home. Mr.. House continued the
hunt, and found that the bear had left the
railroad track and taken highway that
crossed it; following this he soon came to
the place where he had made for the woods,
He followed bruin two days, and came up
on him just at dark on the second day, and
after some skirmishing sent ball in back
of one ear. Ten more followed before he
dropped dead. 1t is estimated that he was
pursued at least 100 miles The carcass,
skin and bounty will put in the pocket of
the luckily hunter at least 800.
