Waiting for a Night Train.

Some nights ago Randolph gentleman,
distinguished for his temperance and So
briefly, had an opportunity to make an
study OF the stringent enforce
ment OF the prohibitory law In Vermont.
B He was away from home and, being
Obliged to wait for the night train at a
certain railroad center, walked over to q
hotel, as the depot was draughty place,
aud sat down In the Office, out OF which,
he very soon noticed, bar opened.
While he sat in that Office an hour and a
half he counted ia men who went into the
barroom, and he overheard the landlord
confide to drummer that the receipts OF
his bar business amounted to go day.
Much edited by what he had already
seen and heard, and there being yet time
for further investigation before the train
was due, our gentleman hunted up the
other hotel Of which the place boasts and
again sat down in tine office; but here the
men trooped through In such numbers
that be was unable to count them and,
thoroughly astonished by the occurrences
Of the night, he hastily sought the train
that should convey him to that temper
ance town called Randolph.
Leaving the cars at this station, he d.
rected his steps across the square and came
upon q spectacle that nearly took his
breath away. For in the sheltered corner
by the old postoffice stood demijohn OF
some kind of ardent spirits, while grouped
around it and leaning against the TRAN
gular brick walls that support the con-
crete walk above, were specimens OF the
genus man in varying stages Of intoxica-
ton. In front Of the enclosure, IN ra-
ther wavering line, were more specimens,
any one OF whom would have found 1t ex-
ceedingly difficult to walk chalk line.
s4kr Arl1 ~ &c
companions, was by far the most respect
able member OF the party, and as the re-
turned wanderer listened to the imbecile
remarks that fioated forth, he felt sorry
that the mouths OF the others were not
also tightly fitted with corks.
II this is Vermont withprohibiti what
would Vermont be without prohibition?

Tho Thief Hatchery closed.

Uncle Sam has concluded to close
up his Carson thief hatchery. Su
psrintendent Adams notified u dozen
or more OF the employees Of the Mint
on the LIST to finish ont this week and
quit permanently Saturday. The
Cashier and Melter and Reiiner will
continue to hold down their jobs.
Superintendent Adams will keep n
clerk, aud the seven watchmen will
continue to watch until all the coin
and bullion in the vaults have been
shipped beyond the reach OF Car
sons itching palms. When that is
done, n couple OF watchmen will guard
the building and machinery from Re-
publican and Silver party thieves.
The gardener and n general rousta-
bout will keep their eyes ON the gar
den and the outside movables to see
that they do not go up the chimney
along with the missing bullion.
The INDEPENDENT regrets that the
only government institution in Ne.
vada has been closed on account OF
tho thieYery of u few men. 1t makes
no difference to the thinking man
whether the theft of bullion occurred
under the administration OF Mr.. Hof.
Ell or since Superintendent Adams
took charge. In either case all con,
cerDed in swiudling the government
are thieves and should spend u term
OF years in some penitentiary.
1t will be poor consolation to the
men thrown out OF employment to
tell them that the bullion was stolen
during the time Mr.. Hofer was Su.
perintendent and that Mr.. Adams
md Mr.. Harris are in no wise respon-
sible for it. Thiswill do for party
palaver but it deceives nobody.

The Nicaragua Trouble.


LONDON, May 2.-The dispute be-
tween Great Britain and Nicaragua,
the Associated Press learns, will be
settled within a few days. United
Staten Ambassador Bayard and the
Salvadorian Minister, who is repre-,
senting Nicaragua. had u long confer
encc today with the Earl Of Kim.
berly, Secretary or State for foreign
affairs.
WAsuISoToS, May Am official
dispatch has been received by n OF
the Central American diplomats stat
ing the situation in Nicaragua is ex-
tremely critical. and an armed con.
iict between the British and Nicara-
guam forces is imminent unless u
settlement is speedily affected.
Up to 9 o'clock the status OF the ne.
gotiations had not changed, so far MS
could be learned. 1t is insisted that
il Great Britain has acceded to the
agreement, there is nm uneSplainable
absence OF official information ON the
point.
1t is said tho people of Nicaragua
are indignant at President Zelnya and
associates for not repelling tho Brit
ish by opening fire when' the landing
was made at Corinto. THIS feeling is
SO great that a revolution is feared.
Should such u change occur the rcvo.
~lutionary party would represent the
popular feeling Of repellipg the Brit
ish with force. 4 speedy withdrawal
OF the British from Corinto is relied
on to quiet the popular feeling.
The Department of State received
this afternoon a telegram from Am
bassador Bayard stating that Great
Britain Inns accepted the guarantee
made by Salvador for the payment Of
the indemnity by Nicaragua in Lon
don within a fortnight, and rs soon as
Nicaragua so informs the British Ad.
miral. the Admiral is instructed to
leave Corinto.

Buyer.
One Of those shoppers" who seek to
see rather than to buy, having kept n
salesman of n Boston dry goods house
busy for an hour in displaying the
choicest goods, Mt last said: I'm take a
skein of silk" ''Shall we scnd It To

clerk, us he wrapped up the purchase.
You may" said she, without n blush,
and handed him her card. The silk
was sent by n messenger-boy. In Lon
don, however, the retail dealers are
not so polite, and they arc not pleased
to show their goods unless one buys
literally. The London Millinery tells
this story of making I'M example of II
woman who would look ut goods with
out buying any:
a pompous lady, aftec teasing the
shopman of n millinery establishment
beyond the f~orbcarance limit, ordered
u spool of cotton to be sent To her

interested, soon after she arrived home.
a common dray, drawn by four horses,
proceeded slowly to her door. On the
dray, with bare arms, were n number
OF laborers. They were hold
ing on vigorously to some object she
could not see.
The neighbors stared. After n deal
OF whip-cracking, the cart was backed
against the curb. There, reposinr
calmly, end up, in the center of the
cart, was the spool of cotton she had
ordered.' With the aid OF n plank il
was finally rolled, barrel-fashion, to
the pavement.
After n struggle it was placed on the
purchasers doorstep. The fac, that
the purchaser came out Il little later

Durrant Held to Answer

SAN FRANcIsCo, May 2.-Police
Judge Conlan tins morning held
Theodore Durrant to answer in
tho Superior Court for the muir
der OF Marian Williams in the
Emanuel Baptist Church. Bail was
refused.
Tho Judge, in commenting upon
the evidence, said i'll his opinion the
chain of circumstances bringing the
murder to Durrant was complete and
convincing.
The preliminary examination OF
Theodore Durrant for the murder OF
Blanche Lamont began to-day. Mrs.
Charles G. Noble, aunt OF the muir
dered girl, repeated her testimony
given yesterday Mt tho inquest as to
Durrant's intimacy with her niece.
After Blanche disappeared Durrant
offered to help search for her among
the disreputable houses, where he
said Clarence Wolf was well known.
The counsel for the defense cross cx-
amined Mrs. Noble regarding the
Handwriting in the books of the dead
girl found concealed in the roof OF the
church.
The deisnso will dispute the identi-
tlcation OF the. body found, it is said,
and will try to prove the writing on
the paper inclosing the rings Of
Blanche to Mrs. Noble was that OF
Blanche herself. II Blanche is alive
Durrant could not have killed her,
so the defense hope thus to destroy
the force Of all evidence against Dur
rant.
