MoDermott Gets Sixty Days in jail.


Frank McDerinott of this city was before
Judge Gould yesterday to answer to a
charge of having robbed Patrick O'Brion of
Nova Scotia of SIS.
Frederick v. Chase appeared for Nc Der
mott. and Judge Gould was left to talk his
own questions. O'Brion was the first wit
ness, and told the story of coming here
from the New Hampshire lumber section.
After he paid for his supper he had S55 left.
He then started out to find some folks
from downgeast, land meeting Robert Jones
asked him il he knew any of them. Jones
thought that he did know family from St.
John, and went to find them, but no one
was at home. They then went along Port
and street where they met McDermott,
who said, 'Hello. o. Brion," to that O'Brion
responded, II don't know you" but Nc
Dermott told him that he worked numbering
with him In sParkerstown, and O'Brion re-
called him. The three went and got some
thing to drink, and then went to hotel
ana took ii room with two beds. In the
night O'Brion said he heard McDermott say
that he had lost his watch. and on getting
up he found that a knife belonging to his
sister had been stolen from him. That
knife he found in McDermott's pocket. and
after he and Jones went down stairs he
found thatlhe had but S. left, and after Nc
Dermott came down stairs he charged him
with having taken it,which McDermott de-
MED.
officer McGrath testified to having made
the arrest. He later saw McDermott throw
down some bills. and. picking up the money
said, "My lad I've caught you.".
Mr.. Chase suggested that McDermott
might have been asked by O'Rrlon to take
charge Of his money. and then all three
have forgotten all about it. but Judge
Gould did not agree with him, and sent Nc
4narYnotf IN jai1 for sixty dayS.

THREe BuRNEp 10 pEArA.

There was bad fire in the village of
West Pawlet last Thursday morning.
Three lives we're lost and 10 families made
homeless and the business section of the
town. worth $4,000, was DESTROYED.
The dead are Mrs. Thomas Knowles, 30
years old. and her two daughters, Kate
and Anna, aged respectively 20 and five
years.
The fire started in Layden d Burdick s
drug store on Main street under the
tenement occupied by the Knowles fam
lily, and when the family was awakened
the flames were well under way, cutting
off all means of escape. The bodies
were found later ON. The fire spread
rapidly and consumed the most of the
stores in the place, several tenements and
dwellings.
The village has no fire apparatus, and
if there had been wind in any direction
the loss would have been much greater,
as the fire started in the center of the
town and was stopped with much diff
Guilty. The origin of the fire is unknown

Senator Sherman of Ohio is bright
man, whatever else may be said of him,
and his estimate of President Cleveland
is interesting. He said in a recent inter-
view:
Mr.. Cleveland is man of marked
ability, but he is stubborn. lie has his
ideas and insists upon them. Were he
a president like Lincoln he would refuse
10 assume any part of the responsibility
for the legislation or the administration
of the departments. My idea of the
president is that of Il presiding and eX-
ecutive oflicer-nOt a tyrant, a dictator
or meddler. The applicants for Office
should not see hun at all. When said
Mr.. Cleveland is IA man of marked abili-
~, did not mean he is a good pres-
dent Congress appropriates the money
for the use of the secretaries and not fer
the president. and the responsibilities are
upon the secretaries.

LIE ELECTIONS.

The elections of Tuesday lead the
Democratic New York sun to remark
that 1.-THE landslide Of 1894 is still slid
ing, and that 1.-THE election reveals the
Republican strength in the nation, com
pared with the Democratic strength, as
abnormally great"
The facts Justify the Suns statements.
New York State is Republican by over
$4,000 majority, though Tammauy car
red New York county by about 10000.
The Republicans have a majority IN the
senate of 81 and in the assembly of ~,
thus assuring the election of Il Republ-
can successor 10 Senator Hill. In New
Jersey the Republicans elected their
State ticket by 10000 majority and chose
"A majority in both houses of the legisla-
ture. Kentucky elected a Republican
governor by over 5000 majority, and 30
members of the house and - of the SEN
ate are Republicans. In Maryland the
Republicans will control the legislature
on Joint ballot. In Ohio Bushnell, Re-
publican candidate for governor, already
has 900 plurality, and the returns are
not all in; while the legislature Will have
a big Republican majority, thus ensurng
the defeat of Senator Brice for reelec-
ton. Complete returns from Massachu-
setts give Greenhalge, Republicans, tor
governor, a plurality of G4,499. In Penn
sylvania the Republican plurality is al
most 10000. In fact, Mississippi is the
only State in which the Democrats were
successful.

Getting ones self interviewed with
frequency is an Important part of the
business of a statesman these days, and
Senator Proctor is tolera6ly successful
in that direction. His latest utterance is
concerning the prediction of war be-
tween this country and England by
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire.
Mr.. Proctor says:
am very fond OF Chandler, but the
other day when got an invitation from
Austin Corbin to go on big hunting ex-
pedition (Corhln has one of the greatest
game preserves IN the country, and
learned that Chandler had been asked to
accompany the party, wrote IA letter of
declination, stating that would not
risk my life by assOcating with Chan
dleI on gaming picnic. He is too apt
to fire unexpectedly and in all sorts OF
directions to suit a steady ana conserva-
tive sportsman like myself, and | won't
take any chances along with him.

There seem to be two sides to the
question of The eXpedency of allowing
fish to be taken in Lake Champlain by
means of seines. 1t is cOntended by those
who favor the continuance of the present
policy that the fish so taken are chiefly
whitelish and mullet, which can be Sc
cured in no other way, and thar these fish
prey upon the spawn of the game fishes
and so are positive injury to the latter.
The ''shad' of which the papers speak
are, it is said, not the Hudson river shad
proper which were placed in the lake by
the State of New York, but the whitelish,
which are popularly known as shad.
There may be something in this view
of the situation, but in lot OF fish seined
out of the lake few days ago and brought
here large proportion were pike, which
most assuredly should not be captured in
this fashion. Evidently the whole sub
iect needs careful investigation by COM
petent men.

The November number of Mr.. Forbes
Vermonter contains list of the educa-
tors who are to talk at the coming meet
ing of the State Teachers association in
ST. Johnsbury. 1t includes the names of
a number of Vermont school principals
and also those of President Andrews of
Brown university, Prof Dolbear of
Tufts college and President Tucker and
Prof. Richardson of Dartmouth. Not Il
single representative of the three Ner-
mont colleges is to address the gathering.
In one of the first issues of the Yer
mOnter was printed sensible and forci-
BILE article by President Buckham, in
which he argued that NermOnters ought
to send their sons and daughters to Yer
mont colleges; and he was right. But
if Vermont teachers seek instruction
from members of the faculties of colleges
outside Vermont, the teachers pupils
will be likely to do the same. These
foreign presidents and professors come
to Vermont. not to enjoy the scenery, but
to advertise their institutions and draw
students to them. They are perfectly
justified in so doing, if the opportunity
is afforded them; but should Vermont
teachers give that opportunity and at the
same time leave the home college in the
background?

The prOhibitory law enables every eommu.
