Hollis Letter of Resignation.
Tie letter of Chairman Holt was as
sion that 1t Is my duty to pursue this
course. j was chosen to the position
/ now resign eight months ago. Since
the ADJOURNMENT of the Chicago con-
Vention ! have been the subject OF I'M
just criticism and unoaIled for suspi-
oion. Nor has this criticism and sus-
ricion been confined to me, but it has
been extended to all the members OF
the committee and of the executive
committee who heretofore have OPP
posed the free coinage of silver. This
unremitting fault finding has SO hand
icapped and crippled the committee as
to almost diaqualify it from doing eff
fcient work
Couldn't Stand 1t Any Longer.
Personally, during my whole political
career. l have been opposed to the doe
trinc involve | in the free coinage of silver:
yet l did not see in this fact sufficient
reason for quitting the regular or;.aniZa.
ton Of the party. and l have so stated.
Nevertheless. in view of the condition of
affairs l have above indicated. feel that
l owe 1t to myself as Il man, and To you
as a committee, to step down and out"
Holt also Rad the resignation of Rufus
haycc. Magee simply stated that he
could not bring himself to the support of
the principles cnunciatcd by the Chicag
platform, and deemed it prudent to re.
sign as member of the committee

ANOTHER VERMONT MURDER.
A wheelcck Man Clubs His Wife to Death

The village of Wheelock, II little hamlet Of
scarcely 20 homes, was the scene Wednesday
evening of one of the most brutal murders in
the history of Vermont.
Marshall Way killed his wife and is now
confined III the county Jail at st. Johnsburg,
awaiting his preliminary hearing.
There has been trouble in the Way family
for several years, and Wednesday matters
came to a crisis. Mrs. Way, without her hus-
bands knowledge, procured Lawyer J. u.
Gleason of Lyndonville to effect division of
until the question arose us to who should
have the custody Of the only minor child, q
little girl of eight years.
A violent quarrel ensued and Mrs. Ways
sister, who had been. spending the day with
the family, left for her home.
Mrs. Way prepared to accompany her, sal,s-
ing to her husband, "Fm going, I've gst
through, and attempted to get into the car
riaSe with her sister, who had already taken
the-child, when Way suddenly struck his wife
terrific blow across the face with II club
broken from a Sawhorse.
Mrs. Way fell unconscious. This blow was
followed by two more upon the head.
The screams Of the frightened sister and
child attracted Isaac A. Gray, who lives oppo-
site. He rushed across the street and pre-
vented further mutilation of the already
mangled body of Mrs. Way. Deputy Sheriff
-. Is. Leslie was summoned and Way was ar
rested.
Way is proprietor of the little village hotel
and is Il mairof some means. He is a man
about 80 years of age, five feet II inches tall
and weighs about l50 pounds.
While ON his way to jail he absolutely re-
fused to talk. His first words were spoken
as he entered the Jail, 81 never expected to
come here, he said
Mrs. Way was about 40 years Of age and
leaves besides the little girl a son, aged 81,
and a married daughter in st. Johnsbury.
The town Of Wheelock, where the tragedy
occurred, is in Caledonia county, IA miles
northwest of St. Johnsbury and six miles
from Lyndonville, which is the nearest rail
road station. daily stage runs to Whee-
lock from Lyndonville.. Marshall Way is
OF the town, and in addition to run
ming tavern sold groceries.

Delinquent Subscribers.

There are few names on our list oil
persons who have not paid anything for the
TIMES since the present owners took pos
session of the paper year ago the first day
Of May.
We want to hear from all such without
delay as we do not intend to carry the
name of any one on the subscription list of
the TIMES who either does not want the
paper or is not willing to pay for it, or who
is not able to pay for it.
Occasionally subscriber to whom we
have sent bill writes that they paid up to
May 1, 1895, and ordered the paper
stopped. AS our predecessors, A. w.
Emerson & Co., took their books with
them when they left the office, we have no
record of such notices. We have stopped
all papers promptly when requested for the
reason that we do not believe in crowding
the paper upon anyone, and it is for the
purpose of knowing that every name on the
subscription list represents subscriber who
wants the paper and will pay for it that we
publish this notice. We shall soon send a
bill to every subscriber who is owing us for
one year or more, and request some kind
of a reply to it.

count unless the winners happen to be

nation OF Mckinley as a menace to Repub-

BARTONSVILLE.

Last Sunday afternoon Fred Derby, with
Misses Helen Penuiman and Fanny Daven-
port, went for drive towards Chester on the
east side of the river, and as they were turn
ing to cross the raill Dad near F. p. Wells the
carriage was overturned and all three thrown
out. The horse cleared himself and went up
the track and broke one leg in the trestle,
and was obliged to be killed Immediately; it
was valuable one. The carriage was badly
injured but Mr.. Derby and the girls were not
hurt. Although the loss is to be regretted
yet it is gratifying that the result was not
serious to the party. Perhaps u lesson might
be learned that it is well to drive with care in
difficult places and around corners.
