EsTEYVILLE ErCHlNGS.

Henry Brockington came home to spend
the Fourth.
The Crowell water pipes are laid as far
as Chestnut street c. p Gilson's new
house has connected.
The army worm has made its appearance
on two small fields of oats. We hope that
Its work will not prove serious.
The 4th of July was one of unusual
quiet and the boys did not 60 in for rough
ness Friday night. They deserve our
thanks. We are proud of them.
There was a Fourth of July supper at
tended by quite a number of the neigh
bors on the lawn at G. X. Lyons at the
corner of Vine and Locust streets. -
The people of Esteyville have waited
long and patiently for some definite bust
ness action TO be taken on the Maple street
road. We begin to feel as though we were
being deceived about the real facts. We
demand what the town voted to give us.
Last Friday night gave the Esteyvile
fire company chance TO try their new ex-
tinguisher. The boys having procured a
good quantity of old waste paint and var
nish in barrels and large tin cans from the
factory of 5. A. Smith Il Co., it was taken
on TO the fiat at the west end of Chestnut
street. 1t was not considered safe to burn
it near the schoolhouse on account of
everything being so dry. Engineer Turn
er and Baliffs Calvin and Eckles were
present to see the workings of the ma
chine and were well pleased with the ex-
hibition. A large pile with half dozen
of the barrels and cans partly filled with
old varnish made hot fire and hard one
to manage. A stream had to be thrown
into each one before the fire would yield,
and it was confidently declared that the
blaze could not be put out, but in one min
ute and II seconds with SIS inch stream
from the little machine the fire was all
out. We think that We have a fire protec-
ton that will do "the business at a small
fire and that will astonish the fire depart
ment. One must see the working of the
little wonder before he can believe what
can be done in so short time.

An insurance paper says the defalcations for
May amounted to almost one million dollars The
bonds of the various surety companies are each
year in greater demand by banks, railroads and
business houses where large numbers of employ

plan of personally bonding has been almost en-
tirely superseded by cooperation bonds, and the
zeal manifested by the surety companies in APP
pretending defaulters and embezzlers has had
much TO do with popularizing this method of

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition Of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumblinR sound or imperfect hearing and when
II entirely closed deafness is the result and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing. but an in
hammed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
OF deafness caused by catarrh, that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

Daniel Brosnahan was brought before
Justice Newton Monday evening charged
with disturbing the peace on the night of
July /. AT the advice of his counsel he

James Manning was arrested by Chief
Hall Monday noon and placed in the lock-

The case of the state against Nicholas
Baker for disturbing the peace by threat

the night of July was tried before Justice
Newton and jury in the town clerks Of
flee Tuesday morning. The jury were
Michael Moran, Ambrose Knapp, L. j..
Retting, F. W. Keuch, c. W. Puffer and
Alvin Knapp. 1t appeared that on the
night of July Baker, James Boyce and
several others, while returning from the
brewery, passed Brosnahan, who, with an
other crowd, had returned from the brew
cry, and was standing near Milestone
bridge. Brosnahan and Boyce had had
some trouble at the brewery and in order
to 'have it out" Brosnahan followed the
crowd out Flat street and engaged in a
combat with Boyce, who received a cut over
the left eye. Baker thought the cut must
have been made with knife and pursued
Brosnahan out to the foot of School street,
where he demanded to know If weapon
was used and considerable boisterous Ian
guage followed. The discussion became so
animated that many residents in the neigh
borhood were aroused and caused a COM
plant to be made. After being out few
minutes the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty. The weakness of the prosecution
was in the fact that none of the witnesses
would swear that an assault was threaten

Edward Griggs Fined for Drunkenness
--"Dummy" Manning Acquitted on
Charge OF Furnishing.

Charge OF Furnishing.
Edward Griggs, who is employed in the
transfer department at the freight office,
was arrested by Chief CT Police Hall for
drunkenness opposite the library Sunday
night and spent the night in the lookup.
He was arraigned before Justice William
S. Newton Monday morning and pleaded
guilty to the charge of intoxication and
was fined s. and costs, amounting to S9.76.
He disclosed that he got his liquor of Dan
lei Manning, known as Dummy Man
ming, who was promptly brought into
court to answer to the charge of furnishing
liquor. States Attorney Fits appeared
for the prosecution and George j. Hit
for the defence. The defence called for a
jury trial and Chief Hall drew Is names
of whom these six were accepted: d. A.
Young, II. z. Wellman, W. H. Bracket,
+. f. Perry, w. f. Root, and F. II. Hol-
den. Court reconvened after an hours
wait, the two first named jurymen being
unable to be found. Mr.. Griggs was the
first witness called. His testimony was in
substance that Manning asked him Sunday
afternoon TO go over the river and get a
drink. He went and while there met
James Cain and George Allen, and after
several drinks Manning bought two pint
bottles of whiskey and the four came
home via the suspension bridge, drinking
at frequent intervals, so that by the time
they reached this side of the river he was
rather uncertain as to all that transpired
but he was sure that he took three drinks
from Mannings bottle. His testimony
was somewhat contradictory to that given
at the first trial but he accounted for that
by saying that then he was endeavoring 10
shield Manning. James Cain was next
called and it was with difficulty that the
prosecuting attorney could get anything
out of him. His testimony differed from
Grigg's in one essential point-that none
of the four drank while this side of the
river.
Manning was questioned through his
brother in the sign language and testified
substantially as did Cain, admitting that
he was drunk all the way home. The
issue was simply as to whether any liquor
was furnished this side of the river and of
course the defence's witnesses advanced
the same old story that it was all drunk
just the other side. In its final argu-
ment the defense criticised the Vermont
prohibtory law in that in cases like the
one under consideration its spirit was
changed from prosecution to persecution
and took money that was needed for the
support of families The prosecution
thought that one of the strongest points
of the law was the lesson it taught by the
imposition of a fine upon those who spend
their money for liquor, leaving families in
a state of deprivation. After being out
about l. minutes, the jury returned a
/ verdict of not guilty.

The case of B. L. Sargent, conductor
on the electric road, against G.. B. Har-
wood for assault and battery was tried in
the town hall Tuesday afternoon. about
200 men and boys being present. The trial
was before Justice 5. II. Sherman and a
jury consisting of c. O. Robbins, +. D.
Whitney, o. +. Randall, John Wright,
j. w. Knight and Z, L. Putnam. States
Attorney Fits appeared for the state and
George B. Hit for the defendant. 1t APP
peared that on the evenings, of July and
several boys on Prospect Hill amused
themselves by putting paper caps in long
rows on the track rails 10 be exploded By
the car wheels, much 10 the ANNOYANCE of
the conductors. On the night of the Fourth
as Sargent was starting out on his o'clock
trip trecracker was thrown at the car by
Harwood's son, Guy, in front of Bensons
grocery store. Sargent stopped the car,
got of and cuffed the boy and Immediately
afterward received a severe blow under the
left eye, dlscoloring ii TO such an extent
that 1t was necessary to put on a leech 10
draw out the blood. Harwood was in the
crowd near the store and seeing his son in
trouble went TO protect him and grappled
with Sargent and threw him down. Sar-
gent rolled hi sassailant over and held him
until both were willing TO let go their
holds.
Superintendent Carly of the electric
road had papers made out for the arrest of
HARDWOOD and they were served by Chief
of Police Hall. At the trial Sargent tes-
titled that he had warned the boys TO desist
from throwing frecrackers at the cars and
that he used only enough violence to pro-
tect himself and the property in his charge.
He said the cracker exploded within
foot of his head and as he cuffed the boy
he was struck by another person whom he
found TO be Harwood Several other wit
nesses for the state testified that the boy
did not strike the blow but they would not
swear that Harwood struck it and therein
the states case was weakened.
On the other hand the witnesses for the
defence swore that the boy struck the
blow, that Sargent had no occasion for
touching the boy as the cracker exploded
on the roof of the car. The boy swore
that he struck Sargent. Harwood swore
that he had no disposition to strike and
used only force enough to protect his son.
A lively tilt between The lawyers brought
out round of applause. The jury were
out 10 minutes and returned verdict of
not guilty.
