TrottIne Circuit.

Tine coming winter, prominent horse
men in Barre and Montpelier will make
an effort to organize Vermont racing
circuit. 1t is claimed by the prime NOV
ers that such a circuit would be of flnaB-

OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS

John Kernell in the first Irish Alder
man appears at the Opera House, SatnI-
day evening. The Toledo Bee, of OCT
4th says:
John Kernell and his company PIE
sented a change of program at the Poo
ple's Theatre last evening. The house
was crowded to the doors and the waIns-
est applause greeted Kernellin his new
play, "The Irish Alderman" The faVsT
which the Celtic star met in this new
vehicle as spontaneous and gave the
new play the stamp of popular approva.
Everybody seemed to enjoy "The IRISH
Alderman" great deal more than they
had "McFadden's Elopement." The play
was an unqualified success. and the con-
pany presenting it almost continually
applauded for the good work done
The Alderman was built by Scott Mar
BILE for the exclusive use of Kernell, and
is a funny farce comedy.
The Alderman tells burlesque pn
American politics, and while the plot is
not very deep, yet it is sufficient to "
tain the interest, and specialties which
are introduced are all good.
. KeTnell is the same everywhere. He is
drOllto look upon, there is humor in his
gait, and his monologue work has not
lost any of its drclIness.

Literary Notes.

One of the leading features in Harper's
Magazine, at the close of this year and
the beginning of the next, will be novel
by William Black. The title of the story
"Briseis," is taken from its heroine, a
Greek maiden who is first introduced to
the reader among the hills OF Aberdeen
shire. 1t is tale which has long occu-
pied the thought of the novelist, and in
work. Each of its six monthly parts
will be illustrated from drawings made
in Scotland and London by the we'll
known New York artist, w. T. Smedley.
With its Greek heroine, British back
ground and American illustrator, "Brei.
seis will offer the first installment of its
attractions, drawn from sources so varied
but not conflicting, in the December
of Harper's.

She Answers the Questions Made BY
Great Britain.

She Answers the Questions Made BY
Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-It is reliably
stated that Nicaragua has replied to the
ultimatum Of Great Britain. 1t is in the
nature of a counter proposal and not q
direct acceptance of the British demands,
and as such it is not known whether Eng.
land will accept it as responsive to her
ultimatum, which made three demands
First-Money indemnity of els, 900 for
alleged personal injuries to British SUBJ
jects, including British Consul Hatch.
Second-Revocation of the decree OF
banishment against subjects.
Third-The formation of a commission
to decide by arbitration the damage done
the property of British subjects expelled
from Nicaragua.
The ultimatum contained no limit of
time, but in a subsequent note the Earl
of Kimberly stated an answer to the ulti-
matum would be expected within seven
weeks of Feb. 26. The seven weeks are
up tomorrow.
Nicaragua's answer is in two parts. The
second demand says that Nicaragua, even
before receiving the British communica-
ton, had revoked the decree of banish-
ment. To the first and third demands
tne answer Is tuat IN order 10 preserve
friendly relations with her majesty's gov
ernment, and with purpose of fairness
and justice. Nicaragua proposes that all
questions of payment for personal injury,
injury 20 property, etc., be referred to an
impartial commission of arbitration.
The foregoing is regarded as a most
diplomatic answer. IL comedies Nicara-
gua's willingness to adjust the difference,
o,,1 al.,
demand is ex parte estimates, and that
the whole question Of damages should bc
left to arbitration.
Great Britain's answer to the counter
proposition is awaited with interest, but
Nicaragua's reply is so pacific in cnarac-
ter that il is believed the subject has
ceased to have a warlike aspect, and that
diplomacy will adjust the remaining de-
tails

Miss Lamont Was Niece of Senator
sm-ad of Missouia.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
MIssouLA, April 15.-Senator Smead
this morning received o telegram from
San Francisco, informing him that the
fate of poor Blanche Lamont had been
learned and that she had been discovered
foully murdered. The unfortunate girl
was niece of Senator Smead and had
many friends in this city, where she fre-
quentiy visited during her residence at
Dillon. At that time another uncle, Rev.
Hugh Lamont, was pastor of the Presby-
terian church, and her family cou-
nections gave her a very
wide range of acquaintances with
whom she was very popular. Her Mis-
soula friends are greatly affected by the
sad news of this morning, and many ex-
pressions of Indignation are heard ut the
brutality of the murder.
Senator Smead said to-day to a
STANDARD reporter: 1--WE had but little
hope after we learned of the disappear
ance of the girl, as she was the last per-
son in the world who could be suspected
of any departure from the path of virtue.
Until we read of the murder of her friend,
we had hoped that she might be held for
ransom by some kidnaper. but when we
read of that, we abandoned hope and
were not surprised at the discovery of her
dead body"
Miss Lamont was a strikingly hand
some young lady, rather frail in
physique, and she had many warm friends
wherever she was known. During her
visits here she was always the recipient
of much attention, but there was never
any breath of suspicion against her char
acter. Her Missoula friends scoff at the
theory of any liaison.

Is He Guilty of This?

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, April 15.-In the
search for motives for the crime many
curious theories have been evolved. Even
those who believe Durant guilty are
forced to admit that il is hardly probable
that he would have outraged the girls
after they were dead, even il he would
have committed such n crime when they
were alive. Assuming that Durant is
guilty, one theory for the motive of the
murders is that the crimes were commit
ted for the purpose of medical investiga-
ton.
The statement has been made that
Durant proposed to a number Of girls that
he be allowed to examine them for female
troubles, which he professed to be able to
cure. The persons to whom he made
these proposals Indignantly refused. 1t
is known that Durant was an ardent med
ical student and took a great interest in
diseases of women. The theory is that
he was crazed on the subject. and being
unable to conduct his investigations in
any legitimate manner murdered the
girls for that purpose. The condition of
tho bodies after they were found would
tend to carry out this line of reasoning.
Instead of abating. the excitement over
the horrible crime is on the increase.
Every fresh rumor is an excuse for an
extra edition of the newspapers, which
are bought eagerly by crowds of people on
the streets. Other crowds gather around
the bulletin boards aud haunt the scene
of the crimes, Emanuel church. The
home of Durant's parents is also an OBJ
ject of curiosity. Although some of
Durant's friends have deserted him in his
hour of trouble, most of them have stood
manfully by him and assert their belief in
his innocence.
A strange feature of the case is the fact
that the people living in the vicinity of the
church are not backward in asserting that
Rev. Gibson, the pastor OF Emanuel
church, knows more about the murders
