A Decision by Judge Ross Sustaining
the Contention Of the Town bis'r'o'
a, Regerd to Its RIghuful Distribution'

D.ciston by Judge Ross sustaining
al. Contention Of the Town District
4, Regard 60 Its RIghrruI Distributon'
Judge Ross has handed down his decls-
ion in the Brattleboro school money case
and decides in favor OF the Town ulsIilc',
onioininp the selectmen from paying over
,ho money as they had decided to divide 1t.
The ponf of the case is as to whether the
certificates granted under act 1870 OF 1880
are legal. or whether the village district
was limited to such share of the pubic
money as was provided by the second sec
tton Of that act. The contention OF the
Gown district directors was that if the act OF
1890 was not repealed 1t provided what
share of the public money the village dls-
trict sbould have. If 1t was repeated
large number of the village district teachers
were without legal certificates, having only
certificates granted by the prudential com
mittee. In 1896 the money was divided as
If act 1870 of 1890 was in force.
.Indpe Ross SAYS in his decision: "
think the provisions Of act 40, lSVO,
were repealed by the later act passed that
session. bv implication, if the provisions OF
act 1870 needed repeating. The grave
ouestion which | should like to have pre-
sented and considered by the supreme
court is whether act $50, so far as II con-
fers or attempts to confer special immunl-
ties upon the defendant in regard 10 tne
division of the public money is not uncoh.
stitutiona under article : OF the Dill OF
| rights of our constitution. 1t is an I'M
| portant question which ought to be dis
! cussed and settled for the guidance OF fu-
| ture legislation
The question of the distribution of the
public school money was raised last rep
| ruary when the prudential committee OF
| the village district presented demand 10
the town school district directors for
about $1,000 which. it was claimed, was
Maid 10 the town district during the pre-
yious year. contrary to the provisions of
the statute This claim was based upon
section of the Vermont statutes which
said the selectmen of town having with
in its limits an incorporated district, should
/ divide the public moneys in such way
that the share Of the Incorporated district
should be- in proportion TO the aggregate
attendance of the district compared with
the attendance of the whole town. The
next section provides that only attendance
upon schools taught by duly licensed
teachers shall be reckoned.
Judge Wheeler. as chairman of the town
school directors, claimed that in order that
a school might share the public money its
teachers must have certificates from the
county examiner. This was rot the case
in the village district, and he therefore had
application made TO Judge Rowell for an
Injunction, which was granted, restraining
the selectmen from paying over the money
differently from what the town district
claimed.
The decision of Judge Ross sustains the
contention of the town district. The case
will now 90 to the supreme court, where
it will be finally decided.

ANOTHER LIQUOR RAID.
Rice Beer Seized aud Three Arrests

Hearing WIN BE Had Tomorrow.

Hearing VIII BE Had TOMORROW.
Another movement in States Attorney
Robb's prohibitory campaign was made in
Brattleboro Monday night, when the Hotel
Brattleboro was again raided by Consta-
bles Blodgett and Eddy of Grafton. The
officers, who were unknown in Brattleboro,
went TO the house during the afternoon
and registered under assumed names and
to all appearances they we're simply trans
lent guests. In the evening they went TO
the bar room and called for drinks, prefer
ring whiskey, but were told that nothing
stronger than rice beer could be furnished
them. They insisted on having whiskey,
however, and when they were positively
refused they seized the stock Of rice beer,
of which there were three or four dozen
bottles.
They arrested Landlord T. Frank Turner
on the charge of keeping and selling intox-
icating liquor, and Clerk j. 2. Higgins
and George l.. Cakes on the charge of sell
ing contrary to law The complaint
against Mr.. Turner also stated that accord
ing to record he was convicted on Jan. g.,
1897 of keeping intoxicating liquor with
out authority and that on Aug. %, 1896,
he was convicted of three first offences Of
selling or giving away intoxicating liquor
| contrary to law.
The respondents were arraigned before
! Justice j. II. Merriheld Tuesday and re-
| quired TO plead. At the advice of counsel
! they pleaded an abatement to the complaint
and warrant for the reason that it was
never presented to the justice who issued
it and that no minute was made by the
! justice of the day and hour when it was
exhibited and issued, as required by law.
The warrants had been signed by Justice
| Frank Whitman of Bellows Falls, who left
! blank spaces which were filled in after the
raid 10y the states attorney instead of by
Justice Whitman, to whom the papers
should have been returned after the arrests.
Lawyer Hit noted that fact and had the
respondents plead accordingly. This will
| only necesstate making OUT new papers,
| but ii had to be done then or not at all,
| and as the case is liable TO be a protracted
one the wisdom Of the move will be readily
apparent.
The respondents also moved to dismiss
the case for want Of Jurisdiction in that the
justice before whom they were required to
plead was not the justice TO whom the
complaint was presented and signed and
who issued process thereon, and they made
! no further plea.
The case was continued at the request oil
the states attorney to 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning in order to give time for an anal
ysis of the beer by Chemist Chaplin. The
case will be called before Justice Whitman
OF Bellows Falls in the county clerks office

scented to the Brooks Library for Pres
erVRttOn.

A Valuable Relic Of the War Time Pre-
scented to the Brooks Library for Pres
ervatiOn.
Slavery has been sometimes called the
cornerstone of the Southern Confadera-
cy, and cotton its bones and sinews. A
blockade of the Confederate ports during
the war prevented largely the exploration
of cotton, the Union armies would seize it
when coming from Confederate neigh
borhoods, and it became very scarce in
Northern states, SO much 50 that cotton
cloth went to 20 cents yard. When the
progress of the Union armies had made il
accessible the privilege of bringing it
North without seizure was sought by 10y
al persons and permits were granted by
the President for that purpose. Mrs. Eliza
{. SkldmOTe was a friend of President
Lincoln, and sometimes at his invitation
sat near him during audiences of visitors.
She was to have had from him such per
init, and received one from President ohm
son, April 20, 1865. {. D. Wallace of
New FORK was to act as her agent. The
original. signed by President johnson by
his own hand in the first two weeks Of his
administration, has been presented by Mr..
and Mrs. Wallace TO the Brooks library
trustees, with the endorsement of Mrs
SkidmoTe upon it authorizing Mr. Wal
lace to act under it. Il is an interesting
document concerning the close Of the war
containing as it does direct command Of
the President Of the United States to all
the armies The order recites that:
Whereas, Eliza c. Skidmore OF Wash
ington, ID. c., claims to own or control
products of the insurrectionary states and
to have arrangements whereby she will be
able TO bring such products within the ma
tional military lines and sell and deliver
them to agents authorized to purchase for
the United States under the act of Con-
gress July %, 1864" Such
products "Shall be free from seizure, de-
tention or forfeiture to the United States
and officers of the army and navy and civ
il officers of the government will observe
this order and will give the said Eliza C..
Skidmore and her agents and means of
transportation and said products free and
unmolested passage through the lines, and
safe conduct within the lines while going
for or returning with said products or
while the said products are in store await
ing transportation for the purposes afore-
said.

itOrium Jan IL.

itOrtum Jan. 10.
Probably no play of recent date received
stronger and more universal praise than "A
Romance OF Coon Hollow from every
Boston paper during its recent production
at the Bowdoin square theatre in that
city. The Globe says. Southern life was
presented III all its phases in a manner
that proved delightful because of its
naturalness.n The Herald notices:
Prom a spectacular standpoint the piece
was all that could be desired. as it was
staged on a magnificent scale, and the
many thrilling scenes kept the large audi
ence on edge during the entire evening.
The Post thinks: The spirit of the
Southland is in every line and scene OF the
charming comedy. Il tells story of life
in the hills OF Tennessee which is full of
human interest, and cannot fail to appeal
to anyone through whose being flows ever
SO little of the milk Of human kindness"
The other journals are equally enthusiast
tic. Although just preceding the holi-
days, the attraction was one of the largest
attended of the season.
