Vermont School Masters Club


Twenty-six members of this club as
sembed at the Pavilion hotel in Mont
pelier on the evening of April O. to dine

tual interest. After the banquet the

PRODUCED the following speakers: State
Superintendent Mason S. Stone Of Mont
peier, President Brown of Norwich
University, Principal Edward Conant Of
Randolph Normal, Principal D. Y. Com
stock Of st. Johnsbury, and DR.. E. NJ.
Smith of Montpelier Seminary.
Superintendent Stone asked the club to
exert its influence to carry out a district
educational policy in the state. Presi-
dent Brown and Mr. Comstock made
vigorous pleas for trimming off the
"frills' from our courses of study. Prin-
cipal Conant dispensed the comfort which
comes in the comparison which was a
retrospective view of forty years. The
meeting represented nearly every section
of the state and every kind Of school.
The next meeting will be held in October
during the week of the State Teachers
association, when it will doubtless strike
in advance the dominant note of the
convention. Those present from this
section were Messrs. Winslow oil Lyndon,

SUCCESSFUL START.
The Fertilizer Plant MaIes Its First Pro-
duction Successfully.

The plant of the Shenandoah Fertilizer
Company, which is composed of William
Neiswenter and John Schaefer is now in
| successful operation and yesterday turned out
its first lot Of fertilizer It is one of the
most complete plants in the state and
promises to make a profitable Investment for
the owners, who have put about $1,000 in
machinery, buildings and wagons The
plant is located in the southern part OF town
and almost opposite the Cambridge colliery.
When its erection was first proposed
there was considerable opposition to it on The
ground that the offensive odors would become
public nuisance, but this objection has been
removed by practical demonstration and an
official visit by the Board of Health. The
improved machinery used does away with
odOrs so effectually that they can only be de-
tected within a small radius of the scene Of
operations inside the building, and even
there they are reduced to minimum. There
is absolutely no odor about the immense tank
in which the carCasses are reduced This is
due to the operation Of a condenser two
inch pipe runs from the tog of the sealed tank
to the roof of the building and there the con-
denser brings cold water into play upon the
steam ascending from the tank and DESTROYS
the smell. The same contrivance is used i'm
connection with the machinery in which the
fertilizer is dried. The tank in which the
carcasses are reduced is an immense affair 12
feet Highland 5 feet in diameter 1t is large
enough to hold twelve head of horses, mules
or cattle. The carcasses are first cut up and
then dumped into the tank When reduced
the remains are transferred to a press, and
then TO the dryer. The process is simple and
there is no waste of material. Fertilizer.
tallOw and hide are the products
of the plant The company has
erected a cement warehouse in which the
hides are stored and salted down. car load
Of tallow will be shipped in a few days The
company now has a force of seven men at
work. including a butcher and engineer.
Next week another butcher and two helpers
will be added to the force. Yesterday mine
mule that sustained a leg fracture and six
broken down horses were slaughtered at the
plant. Twenty-seven mules have thus far
been transformed into farm stimulant and
the company has two wagons constantly on
the road gathering in material. The carcasses
of fifteen animals were gathered IN town
Yesterday and run through the plant. The
building in which the operations are con
dueted is 80 feet long and 80 feet wide. In
the spring another building of similar pro
portions will be erected. Messrs. Neiswender
and Shaetfer are very enthusiastic over their
venture and are apparently justified One
thing is certain, the fertilizer plant will
succeed in doing what so many High Con-
stables of the town have failed to accomplish

THE CONTROLLERS CASE.
Reasons Filed with the Clerk of the
Courts to Quash Indictment.

Courts to Quash Indictment.
The affidavit and petition for a bill of par
ticulars and the motion and reasons to quash
the Indictment charging County Controller
Benjamin R. Severn with misdemeanor,
were filed yesterday in the Office of the clerk
Of the courts by W. J. Whitehouse, the con
trolers counsel Mr.. Whitehouse has as
sociated with him Messrs. VIM. A. Marr and
George W Dyson in this case The reasons
are as follows
First. The foreman of the Grand Jury
who returned the said bill "a true bill" was
not only not sworn according to law, but
was also not sworn at all as foreman of the
Grand Jury that found the true bill"
Second. Many Of the counts contained in
the said indictment are cOuched in language
which does not set out and indictable Of
fence
Third. The indictment is bad for multi
plicity containing as it does not only a
multitude Of offences, committed at different
times, under different circumstances. and
with different persons, but repeating the
same offences in an unnecessary number Of
ways, thereby tending to confuse the Jury.
and work an injustice TO the defendant
Fourth. The indictment contains counts
pretending to set forth an alleged offence:
and this is followed not in its logical order,
LnEOuEn-
out the indictment contained constituent
parts of the same alleged offence; if not
with an apparent intent, at least leaving the
painful impression that it was done to CON
fuse the jury, and lead them to believe they
are separate and distinct crimes.
Fifth In connection with the fourth
reason, defendant alleges that the District
Attorney did not draw up the indictment,
that it was drawn up by private counsel, who
represented parties who have private interest
in the prosecution and the Indictment as a
whole is not that concise, ordinary and
intelligent statement Of the charges" to which
defendant is entitled
Sixth Several counts in said indictment
contain two or more several and distinct
offences
| Seventh. Several counts in said indict-
ment do not contain the words wi ct armis'
nor words equivalent thereto, and therefore
set forth a new trespass, and should be
quashed
Eighth. The defendants counsel claim
that they have this day and heretofore called
at the office of the Clerk Of the Courts ami

pealed to two weeks ago to-day Now that

NOT THE REAL JAMES BYRNE.
Man Under Arrest III This City Is an
impOstCr.

About six weeks ago trampish char
acter was arrested by the police in this
city for attempting to commit a rerolt-
ing crime ana when locked in the police
station he told the officers that his name
was James Byrne, and that he was one
of the Brothers Byrne, who have for
years been prominent figures in the
theatrical world. He had been hanging
around the saloons of the North End
for several months and there told
those with whom he became acquainted
the same story.
The real James Bvrne was in the city
yesterdty y with the company that
played in the Academy of Music, and
was much exercised and very indignant
over the reputation the counterfeit
James ByInc had been building up for
him. He never heard of the fellow inn
personating him in any other city and
was at q loss to account for the reason
tnat he had been selected as the victim
of the deception If 1t was not from the
fact that the fellow knowing that there
are four of the Brothers Byrne reckoned
that he would be able to go for long
er period without his deception being
/ discovered
