An Expensive Fare to Chester.

A commercial traveller named NJ. o.
Byrne, representing a wrapping paper
firm of Boston, offered to Conductor Wy
man of the Rutland road on Monday a
Central Vermont mileage book in payment
of his fare to Chester. The present man
agement of the road issued orders last
Saturday to accept only their own issue of
books after that date and Mr.. Wyman re-
fused to accept the Central Vermont
mileage book, demanding fare, which Mr..
Byrne refused. The matter was reported
to President Clement, and when Mr.. Byrne
reached Rutland that evening he was ar
rested for evading payment of fare. At
torney Ryder was applied to here to issue
a warrant in this county and Chief of Po-
lice Thompson was sent to Rutland Tues
day and brought the man back here for
trial. He was brought before Justice Will
liams, who fined him the minimum amount
of 81 and costs, amounting to S2O.59,
which was paid. 1t happened that Mr..
Byrnes was well acquainted with Mr. Will
liams, as he sells him goods at this point,
and some surprise was manifested upon
the part of the court when he saw who his
prisoner was. Mr.. Byrne claimed the con-
ductor took no pains to explain the change
to him, and he did not understand the
matter or he would have paid his fare. AS
it was it made it an expensive job for him,
as with additional expenses for travelling,
and the loss of a days time, it meant
more than the amount above named.

CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN.
United States Pushing Them for
an Immediate Settlement.
Spanish Government Replies to the Com-
munication of the State Department
and Objects Emphatically to Maxi
Ing Payment Demanded.
A New York Herald special from

A New York Herald special from
Washington says:
The state department, has just re-
ceived an adverse communication from
the Madrid authorities in answer to the
demand made upon them for an innme-
diate settlement of the claims preferred
against the Spanish government by DR..
jose Delgado, an American citizen,
who was outrageously treated by Span
ish troops on his estate near Havana.
Cuba. In its note, containing the de-
mand the departmeHtse set forth evidence
to prove the justice of the claim, laying
particular stress upon the statement
and action Of Capt. Gen. Weyler after
the outrage had been committed.
The reply which has been received
from Spain goes into details respect
ing the visit Of the Spanish troops to
the Delgado plantation and to their
subsequent actions while there. I'm
mediately after the receipt Of the de-
mand from the United States the
Madrid authorities ordered that an in
vestigation be made into the occur
renee, and the report of this investiga-
ton was forwarded upon completion to
the Spanish capital. This report sus-
tains the action of the Spanish forces,
and attempts to explain the outrage
committed on DR.. Delgado.
The claim that the department is
pressing is that for personal injuries
sustained by DR.. Delgado. The damage
to his property has been assessed and
forwarded to Spain as separate claim.
1t will be considered, in conjunction
with the many others which have been
filed and submitted to the Madrid au-
thorities, by joint commission, which
will be appointed by the two govern
nlents at the close of the Cuban rebel
lion.
Acting under instructions sent by the
stsse department., Minister Taylor made
o reply to the Spanish note, which was
an answer to the original demand made
by this government in the Delgado case.
When the contents Of the note We're laid
before the department the flimsy char
acter of the evidence supporting the
Spanish governments contention that
Delgado's claim was not such as to
warrant it's payment was ascertained
by the officials.
The necessary instructions were sent
to Minister Taylor, and that official in
note to the Spanish minister for for
eign affairs analyzed the evidence he
had submitted, and further sustained
the original note addressed 10 the Mad
rid authorities by the facts with which
the department. had in the meantime
supplied him. The department will
| make no further movement in this case
until the Spanish government makes
answer to Minister Taylor's note. Its
expected by the officials that the Span
ish authorities will instruct Capt. Gen.
Weyler to make further inquiry into
the Delgado case.

MURDERED AND THEN CREMATED.
Mother and Son Found Dead and Girl
Possibly Fatally Hurt.

Halifax, N. S., Sept. 14-Double mur-
der and arson We're committed shortly
after midnight yesterday morning at
Meadowbrook, small station on the
International railway, about eight
miles from Moncton. Mrs. Eliza Dutch
er and her 11-year old boy were muir
dered, and the house was afterward
fired, and the bodies cremated. Maggie,
Mrs. butchers S-year-old daughter,
was rescued from the burning building,
but she is not expected to live. The girls
left ear is split open and her left cheek
cut and smashed 1t was her rescue that
revealed the terrible nature of the
crime.
A brother of the murdered woman,
who lived near her, says that early in
the morning he was awakened by cries
Of Fire." He fastened into the street
and found his sisters house on fire. He
tried to effect an entrance but found the
doors all locked. He finally broke in,
and, cropping his way through the
smoke. managed to find Maggie and
carried her out. The murdered woman
had the reputation of having consider
able money in her house for a poor 10
cality. and this may have been the
motive for the crime.
