THE SUPREME COURT.

The supreme court held session at
Montpelier Tuesday to render decisions in
the cases heard at the October term. The
expected decision was not given in the
Marlboro South pond case, and it will
probably now lie over until January.
One of the interesting decisions was that
in the case of the Lyndonville national
bank VS. T. C. Fletcher, growing ont of the
G. T. Walter forgeries. The judgment of
1891 for the defendant bank was affirmed.
The case was novel one. Fletcher signed
a note for $500 with Walter, and this note
was replaced at expiration, as alleged, with
a forged one, Fletcher supposing it to have
been paid. In the Caledonia county court
Judge Start instructed the jury to return a
verdict for the plaintiff on the ground that
the original note could not be paid with
forged paper, and if the renewal was gen.
uine the defendant was liable as a matter
of course. The judgment was for the
plaintiff to recover the face of the note and
interest for four years,

Death on the Rail.

Charles weIlmRn Horribly Mangled ON
the FItchburg RailroRd---wilI the sH-
loon Keepers BE Held Responsible for
His Death!
The engine of the express train from
Boston which reaches here at O'Clock
was being placed in the round house last
evening when it was found that the wheels
were splashed with blood and fragments of
a human being. The engine was run back
over the road, and at the farm of Copley
Armory, about one and One-haf mile
north of Walpole, body was found, cut
completely to pieces. 1t was taken to
Walpole. 1t was found this morning that
the victim was Charles Wellman, p, who
has of late been employed as a blacksmith
at Westminster Station, but who formerly
worked at the Rockingham street black
smith shop in this village and also on the
Fitchburg railroad. The body was identi-
fed by shoe and by the clothing, which was
bought of j. j. Fenton Il Co. The shoe
was found over a mile from where the ac-
cident occurred. Young Wellman lived
with a widowed mother in Walpole. He
was of incorporate habits and spent
Thanksgiving day in visiting the saloons
of Bellows Falls and North Walpole. He
left North Walpole early last evening. He
was seen with a companion at Cold River
station, both being intoxicated. His death
is expected to attract much attention or
account of the question of the response
bility of the saloon keepers who sold hin
drink. A man was run over several year:
ago near the spot where Wellman met hi:
death, and Charles Maynard, the hote
keeper at Walpole. who sold him the liz
uor, was held in large sum for being re

HIS business operations AT ShclDurne
Falls, South Vernon and BrsttIeboro.
The career of Z. S. Hunter as a manufacturer
at Shelburne Falls has proved to be very short
lived. Mr.. Hunter went 10 Shelburne Falls from
South Vernon, about three weeks ago and began
the manufacturing of halters and surcingles in
the Adams shop on Mechanic street under the
name of the New England Halter company, en-
poying few hands The Shelburne Falls board
of trade had the new industry under its protect
ing wing and had a mortgage Of S25OO on the
stock.
The agreement between the board Of trade and
Mr.. Hunter made rather hastily For the
past few days the members Of the board have
been a little uneasy about the matter because of
reports of Hunters business methods in other
places and yesterday the officers foreclosed the
mortgage and the place was put in charge Of
George Slate as keeper. Some Of the salable
stock was removed from the building and the bal
anee in process Of manufacture will be finished
and the place closed up. The board Of trade ex-
pect 10 clear themselves on the affair.
Hunter is the man who took charge OF the Brat.
tleboro Plating works several months ago. He
announced with blast of trumpets that he had
orders for $1,000 in work The sum is said to have
been 500. He left here in a short time after pay
ing his bills with worthless checks etc. and went
70 South Vernon, where he cut a swath similar to
the one here.
