AN INTERESTING POINT.
Can the Lydonville National Bank Recover
from Col. Fletcher.

St. Johnsbury, VT, June An the
Catalonia County Court todaysbegan the
trial of the case of the Lyndonville Nat
ional Bank VS., Col Henry L. G. Fletch-
er of st. Johnsbury, before a jury and the
ablest lawyers in Northeastern Vermont.
The case grows out of forgeries commit
ted by Chas. 7. Walter of st. Johnsbury,
who is now serving term in state pris-
on therefor Col. Fletcher was an en-
amount, viz $50, 500. One of these notes
for $4,000 was discounted by the Lyndon
vile National Bank. When it fell due,
it was taken up by Walter by another
note for an equal amount bearing Col
Fletcher's endorsement. The original
note was stamped paid by the bank and
surrendered to Walter, who exhibited it
to Col. Fletcher in proof of payment Col.
Fletcher had no reason for suspecting
crooked work, and took it for granted
the note had been paid He afterward
made other endorsements for Walter to
the amount of $4,000. The forgery was
committed in January 1891, and other
forgeries followed, until they aggregated
$500. All these forgeries were executed
with consummate skill The notes were
for one to three months Walter kept
things along by taking them up as they
fell due with other forgeries. Things
might have gone along in this way in
definitely, but for the financial pinch in
the summer of 1893. The banks were
hard pressed for current funds and called
in all loans as far as possible They
notified Walter that his notes would not
be renewed and mast be paid when they
fell due. Walter was unable to pay them,
and the banks thereupon made demand
upon Col. Fletcher, whose endorsement
the notes bore. This was Col Fletcher's
first intimation of wrong doing on Wal
ter's part. Walter made a confession Of
the forgeries and stated the Colonel en-
dorsed for him wholly out of friendship,
and he never derived therefrom any pc
cuniary benefit. Col. Fletcher held Sc
$500.
The Lyndonville bank sues Col Fletch
er to recover on it's $4,000 note 1t claims
the endorsement on the renewals were
genuine; that whether such is the case
it is still entitled to recover, as the origi-
nal note never having been paid. The
bank has number of experts in hand
writing from New York and Boston
who will testify in it's favor Col. Fletch-
er has Walters written confession that
the endorsement is a forgery and can
point to his plea of guilty in the court
and his resulting imprisonment Col
Fletcher claims the failure of the bank
to notify him of the non-payment of the
note at the proper time, i.e., at the time
it fell due, abso1ves him from all liabili-
ty. 1t is a very fine point and business
men generally will feel interested in the
courts's decision.

Encounter With the Police.

Providence June 4.-The first outbreak
of violence in connection with the big
strike at Olneyville developed today.
Three assaults were committed on
operatives who offended the strikers and
their sympathizers, by going to work,
and there was a conflict between the
strikers and the police at the Atlantic
mills when that establishment began
closing at the end of the day. The
strikers and their sympathizers assembled
in great crowd around the Atlantic mill
gates Immediately after six O'Clock and
waited half an hour for the help to
emerge from the mill. More than 5000
were gathered round the gates waiting
for the operatives to emerge. The police
endeavored to keep the streets open but
the crowd would not give way. When
the operatives came out the crowd began
to hoot and yell. The police had been or
dered to capture the first one who raised
the cry of "scab'' and John Hollihan was
arrested. The people from the mills were
lost sight Of in the excitement.

evening fire was discovered in the ell of

of a fire in eighteen months. The first
time was when the Sagadahock house
burned, then he moved to the Shannon
house, few months later the house was
nearly destroyed and now after having
it rebuilt it has again caught fire. 1t
caught in a wooden flue that runs from
the kitchen to carry off the fumes of the
cooking and Mr.. Shannon said he couldn' t
see how it caught there unless it was set.

stopping there and all of the members of
the company got out early so it is said,
except Miss Effie Warner, who plays the

ing Strong Against the Prisoner.
Stamford, Conn, June 4--The typhoid
fever scare of a month or more since, has
taken on a sensational phase in the ar
rest this evening of Henry J. Blackham,
a milkman. A great deal of feeling is
expressed against Blackham since the
local and state board of health announced
that they traced the origin of the epidem-
ic to his dairy, where his milk cans were
washed in water drawn from an infected
well. A minister suggested that Black
ham should be tarred and feathered and
ridden out of the town on rail. The
warrant was served on Blackham and
charges him with manslaughter in caus-
ing the death of John F. King, victim
of the fever epidemic. The complaint is
that Blackham recklessly used the water
from the well containing germs of ty-
phoid fever to wash cans and that he sold
milk in which the poisonous substance
were contained in the solution. Black
ham is in Jail and will doubtless remain
there since it is extremely difficult for
him to secure bondSmen in or about
Stamford. He takes the arrest cody

he took from the vault of the office at
Peoria which he also used for private

private papers, but did not remove the
papers or books belonging to the company
between the time he was appointed re-
ceiver and his removal from that position,
except what Gen. McNulta knew Of or
had seen. He professed ignorance of the
fact that all letter press books of the COM
pany's in April, 1892, were missing. He
denied having secreted any. property be-
longing to the company, and resented the
insinuations of Attorney Meyer that he
employed his son to remove package of
books from the Peoria office one Sunday
after his receivership. After Mr. Green
hut refused to answer several questions
relating to money spent and books
wanted, he was pressed to divulge the
telegraphic code used by him in relation
to the alleged speculation in whiskey
stock by the officers of the company with
money belonging to the Trust. He re-
fused to impart any information about
the code kilograms shown in the books
produced. signed G. and D, Mr. Meyer
declared that the initials stood for

Meyer then invited the return to the
court of this proceeding object
ing to following the same line of
examination with Nelson Morris, whose
attorney, Mr.. Walker said would refuse
to answer the questions put to Mr. Green
hut. The case adjourned until tomorrow
when the refusal of Mr. Greenhut to
