MattisOn a Defaulter.
The Missing Freight Agent at Benning-
ton Stole Several Thousand Dollars---
n Woman tu the Case,

The Missing Freight Agent at Benning-
ton Stole Several Thousand DoIlars---
Woman iu the Case.
Frank G.. Mattison, the freight agent of
the Bennington & Rutland railroad at
Bennington, who disappeared two weeks
ago, is defaulter for several thousand dol
lars, and there is probably a woman in the
case. Madison wandered away from Ben
nington while suffering from the grip, and
it was at first supposed that he was tenn
porarily insane. The defalcatons appear
ed to have taken place during 1SS0-91, and
the mystery is how the matters were kept
from the railroad company, who expect de-
posits from their officials every day. There
was found in Mattison's office a pile of
freight bills extending back several years
thai were reported as unpaid and so car
ried on. In many instances these bills
have been presented during the last two
days, and in a majority of cases receipts
were produced which showed that they
had been paid in cash or checks and in
some instances the checks had been in
dorsed by Mattison to Bennington trades
men in payment of private bills. Mr. Mat
tison was connected by marriage with near
ly all the high. officials of the road, and
the results of the past few days would in
dictate that the supervision of his accounts
was slack. His daughter is at present in
charge of the Office and doing all she can
to unravel the accounts. Mr.. Mattison is
said to be with relatives near Chicago, and
to be improving in health.

Swanton Suspender Company Embar-
raised.

The Swanton Suspender company is
financially embarrassed, and has been placed
in the hands of Col. Alfred \. Hall of st.
Adams, trustee for the benefit of the bond
holders. An inventory is being taken, and
it is expected, if properly managed, that
enough will be realized to pay the bond
holders in full and good dividend to the
general creditors. The company did a
large business and the industry was an inn
portant one in Swanton.

forward by his party. This same
editor of the Gazette is now a can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Railroad Commissioner.
We promise him, if he secures the
coveted honor, that some of these
Democratic editors will give him
"that tired feeling" some more be-
fore they are done holding up to
public gaze the "ree-cord" of this
same editor of the Gazette.

People on every side, almost, are
asking with bated breath, "What
does this epidemic of crime mean
within our borders?" Have we be-
come so lost to all sense of law and
order that human life has ceased
to have a value attached to it?
Surely when our county presents
the record of three killings and one
suicide from eight o'clock on one
Saturday morning to six O'Clock
the next Saturday evening, and all
this within a radius of four or five
miles of our Court House, it is
time we should hang our heads for
very shame. We will, at this rate,
soon be a stencil in the nostrils of
our neighbors, if indeed our past
record, which is scarcely broken by
this last outbreak, has not already
made us so. The day is not only
at hand, but is far past, when a
healthy public sentiment should so
come to the front and make itself
apparent, that a halt will be called
on such utter disregard for human
life. Let every good citizen so
strengthen the hands of our Gus
todians Of the peace that they will
not only know that faithful dis
charge of their duty is demanded
of them, but that they will be up
held in the discharge of that duty.
Until this is done we can hope for
nothing better. Such a strong,
healthy public sentiment must be
made plainly manifest before
better state Of things can be hoped
for. Don't talk about the made
quacy Of the law to remedy these
matters, The law is all right. 1t
is only hearty cooperation on
the part of our citizens with the
officials that is needed, Let men
feel that if they transgress the law
its penalties will surely be visited
upon them, and the lawless Will
not be long in making themselves
less prominent. But so long as
transgressors 90 unwhipped Of JUS
tice we need not look for better
things.

These "hOlier- than-thOu- art" fell
lows who prate about corruption in

cratic nominee, regardless Of the
manner in which the nomination
was secured, but will resort to the
most contemplate methods and in
duIge in all the mud hinging Of
which a Democratic newspaper is
capable, and will not stop at mis-
Representation and abuse to accom-
plish the defeat of a Republican,
no matter what his moral standing
or personal worth. The jewel of
consistency does not adorn the
brow Of some Democratic editors

No one who knows the editor of
the Gazette and his practices will
be at all surprised thatit gives him
"that tired feeling" when any one
is honest enough to condemn cor
ruption in politics, even though
that one happens TO be Democrat,
and passes those structures on
members of his own party. The
past political history Of this editor
of the Gazette has shown that he
is willing to endorse any man OF

THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
Assassinated in the Streets
of Lyons.

The President of France, M.
Sadi Carnot was killed on Sunday
night. The Courier Journal of
yesterday says: President Carnot
assassinated, was the startling
news flashed over the entire civiliz-
ed world from Lyons last night.
1t was difficult to believe that the
popular chief executive of France
had fallen victim to either anar-
chist or mailman, but the news
was only too true. 1t caused a
shock throughout Europe scarcely
less than the sensation caused in
the United States by the assassina-
ton of Lincoln and Garfield. The
circumstances surrounding the
tragedy was scarcely less sensation
al. President Carnot had gone to
Lyon to attend celebration in
connection with an international
exhibition. After a reception, a
visit to the exhibition and a ban
quet, he started to the theater,
where gala performance was be-
ing given in his honor. While he
was receiving the ovation of the
enthusiastic people who thronged
the street man sprang upon the
steps of the carriage, and while
others observed with glee he gave
the President his death wound with
a knife. M. Carnot was conveyed
to the Prefecture, where he died
after midnight. The as
sassin, young Italian named San
to, was seized by officers and was
with difficulty saved from the fury
of mob. The natural supposition
is that he is an anarchist, but he
is not known. The crime caused
excitement. The
Presidents successor must be cleo
ted within three days by the Sen
ate and Chamber of Deputies.

1t looks very much as though

far as heard from, he has instruc-

tin (1);. johnson (4); Magoffin
(3); Powell (3); Morgan (6);
Menefee (2), and Wolf (3), max
ing 81 votes in the counties heard
from. He will, in all probability,
90 to the Convention with at least
SO out of the 70 votes instructed
for him, and with second instruc-
tions sufficient to insure him the
nomination with but little contest.
