Prosperity Was Too Much.

Harry Jacobs Of Fair Haven Cut a Wide
Swath---He Has Disappeared, Owing
Thousands, and Warrants for His Ar
rest Are Out.
Fair Haven had king only short time
ago-Harry Jacobs-Jacobs, the king of
low prices, according to his advertisements.
The king disappeared recently and war
rants are out for his arrest on the charge of
securing money by false pretences. Jacobs
came to Fair Haven in 1856 from Salem,
n. Y, and opened a clothing store. His
stock was burned the following year but he
made an advantageous settlement with the
insurance companies, and began business
again under his wife's name. He also Or
ganized Shirt company and opened fac
tory in Casteton but the project was short
lived. In 1898 he bought real estate in
Fair Haven and by various manipulations
succeeded in disposing of it at an advance of
$4,000. This turned his head, and he be-
gan to scheme to amass more wealth. He
built large brick block which he soon eX-
changed for other property at a supposed
loss to himself He opened clothing stores
in Whitehall, Salem, Brandon and Balls
ton, but none of them proved successful.
1t is charged that Jacobs raised consider
able money on mortgages and notes. The
amount is estimated to be between S2j, 900
and $4,000.
A New York firm held note against
Jacobs for $1,000. 1t is charged that when
the note came due Jacobs went to the firm
and told his story, with the result that the
firm gave him a check for $1,000 to take up
the note, for which he was to give them a
new note for the same amount. 1t is
charged that instead of paying the old note
he used the $1,000 for other purposes and
the note went to protest, so that instead of
being $1,000 out the amount was S240O.
He had had clothing of them for the Balls
ton store, so that they were out about

THE VERMONT NEWS.
A Disturbance in Church.
Caused by very Small Matter---VVhat
the Principals Say.

the Principals Say.
Politics has caused serious disturbance
in the Second Congregational society of
Hartford. A year ago committee repre-
senting the society advertised for a pastor
who should be young, an American, grad
uate of Andover, married, interested in
young people and ready to work for hem,
and a Republican.
Rev. Herbert w. Boyd, then pastor of
the South Congregational church, Amherst,
Mass, offered himself as candidate who
met nearly all the requirements and was
accepted.
His relations to the church were har-
monious until after the annual meeting of
the church society last June, when Ephra-
i'm Morris, wooden manufacturer, who is
wealthy and prominent member of the
society, asked him if he voted for Grover
Cleveland, and being told that he did, said
that he would not contribute to his sup
port. Mr.. Morris, Edward w. Morris, his
brother and partner, and Mr.. Charles NJ.
Cone, his son-in-law, have since then re-
fused to contribute anything toward Mr..
Boyd's salary. The three have usually paid
about one-thiId the amount raised by the
church society.
Mr.. Boyd said he had been treated kindly
and courteously by Messrs. Morris and
Cone, who do not believe that church and
state should be kept separate. Calling him
a Democrat, they had refused to contribute
to his salary.
He was not party man, but voted, when
he voted at all, for the candidates and the
principles he believed in. This was mat
ter that concerned himself and his duty to
the state. 1t had no connection with his
duty to the church, he thought.
Mr. Morris was ill and could not be in
terviewed, but member of the family said
he believed that Mr., Boyd, being a Demo-
crat, was not fit to be pastor of the church.
The country was being ruined by the Dem
ocratic administration. His business was
being ruined. One of his mills in Hartland
would be shut down Saturday night, and
100 men would be thrown out of employ
ment. He would not give one cent for the
support of any Democrat.
To get an idea of the feeling among the
Republicans of the community relative to
this matter, several were interviewed. None
of these would permit the use of names, but
said they believed that politics and religion
should not be mixed.

A GREAT RAILROAD SYSTEM.

The Boston d Maine Company VIII
OfAutOmRtIc COuplers and Air Brakes.
The sixty-second annual report of the
Boston & Maine railroad for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1895, was issued recently.
1t will be interesting to note the success of
the road during this period. In President
Tuttle's report it was shown that the gross
transportation earnings were S16,S92, 3d.
81, of which $7,754, 997.90 were from pas
sengers, SS,274, 1862. 10 from freight, and the
remainder from express, extra baggage and
mails. The operating expenses were SILL
794, j2S.30. The net income was 50, 70j,-
$50. 81.
There was a decrease in receipts fro
the passenger department, including mails
and expresses, while there was an increase
from the freight department. The number
of passengers carried was 32,3S0,241 and
the number of tons of merchandise was s.
3Sl 1922. The city of Boston purchased the
Haymarket square station for $4,000.
For the first time in many years the com
pany is without floating Indebtedness. On
the Both day of June the total number of
shares of stock Excluding those owned by
this company was POS, 667 held by 6293
shareholders. The leasing of the Concord
~ Montreal railroad adds Ala miles of road,
making a total of 27TG miles. Contracts
were made during the year for nine passen-
ger cars with broad vestibules 20 ordinary
passenger cars 600 freight ca. 5 and % To-
comotives, the whole to cost about $780,
000 The equipment consists of 5G6 loco
motives, 1928 passenger, baggage, mail and
express cars, 9914 freight cars, FOG caboose
cars, 142 tool and road cars and 90 snow
plows. Many passenger stations and steel
bridges have been built, miles of new track
laid and the road bed improved. Compli-
ance with the United States statute requir-
ing the equipment of all freight cars and
engines, used in interstate traffic, with au-
tomato coupleTs and air brakes, will make
necessary an expenditure of about $1,000
900.

People were greatly surprised Monday
to learn that Alonzo G. Miner was a vol
untary petitioner in the insolvency court.
Mr.. Miner is about 20 years old, and has
been connected with the paint and oil bust
ness in Greenfield for nearly 40years. His
liabilities are about $6000 and his assets,
including book accounts, are considerably
more than that amount. He will try to ar
range a settlement with his creditors.
Thomas Ryan, who was committed to
the Franklin county Jail Sept. IA for va
grancy, made a murderous assault Monday
on F. Sullivan, fellow-workman at the
Jail. All of the men were working at a
bench when Ryan stepped behind three
other men and grasping Sullivan around
the neck, cut his throat from ear to ear,
using one of the knives in the shop. Sew
eral muscles and a minor artery were sew
cred, but Sullivan will probably recover
Ryan is undoubtedly insane, and arrange
ments will be made to take him to the
Northampton asylum. Ryan assaulted f.
L. Whittemore in Sunderland before he
was arrested. Sullivans home is in Tur-
ners Falls and he is serving a three months
sentence for drunkenness. So far as
known Ryan had never seen Sullivan be-
fore.

Luther Bedell jumped from a load of
rowen at Stowe recently and struck upon
the handle of a pitchfork which had been
left in the hay NOW. The handle pene-
trated the lower part of the abdomen II
inches until it struck the socket of the

dead in five minutes. No vital organ was
