IT is rumored that A. G. Cleve-
land will enter the field for United
States Senator. Cleveland is one OF
those men who does the wrong thing,
or has his friends do it, at just the
wrong time, and the concensus of
public opinion seems to be that he
will not cut much ice in political
circles hereafter.

BOSTON PRODUCE Market.
/ From Wednesdays BOSTON Journal


Higher prices for butter are quoted In the
W est ana in New York, but sellers here find
II difficult TO get much if any advance
Trade has been light, and the supply of all
kinds Is ample for the demand, so that
neither buyers nor sci ers can see any ne
cessiiy for higher rates. Still Boston cannot
remain too far behind other places, and it
must Join The procession, even if IL comes in
at the extreme end.
There was wide difference of opinion in
regard TO the value of butter yesterday in
this market, and ii NAV be well to let deal
ers speak for themselves One receiver of
Northern said: 81 Will not sell my fresh
make this week under % cents, | sup.
cents for it," Another: 81 don't know what
to say to you No buyers have been around
and II is hard to make a price, but | am
afraid / cannot get more than 81 to Ply
cents" Another: 1--WE ought to get % cents
for assorted tubs and 22H to % cents for
boxes, hut we have not yet made any sales
to the trade at those figures Still another
81 have just sold a lot of 80 tubs of Northern
creamery in large tubs at 20H cents, but |
suppose | should have got 81 cents for 1t 4"
would be fair selling quotation for most of
the Northern butter offered, with % cents as
the asking rate for fancy lots. Boxes, % to
2215 cents.
demand has been moderate, with sales of
Northern late made at to % cents, includ.
ing large and small sizes. Some fancy twins
run up to 90 cents, but as a rule no more
than 9s cents can be depended upon for
round lots. Early makes take lower range.
There was moderate demand yesterday
for fresh eggs, but extreme prices were not
easily obtained for the bulk of the offerings.
Northern Ohio, Indiana and Michigan choice
sold at lS1s to 10 cents, with an occasional
ern at IL to Is cents. Fresh Eastern ranged
from 10 to p cents.

The birthplace of Vermont.

Dorset proclaims itself to be the birth
place of Vermont, as it is claimed that
the first meeting of the Vermont council
of safety met in that town. For this rea-
son the town is thought to be a proper
place for a soldiers memorial library
building, project that has been on foot
for some time. The lot upon which the
building is to be erected was given to the
company that has been formed under the
name of Dorset Soldiers Public Memorial
association by Mrs. F. +. Hatch of that
town. The lot is near the park, at the
junction of Main street with the highway
leading to Dorset Hollow. 1t is hoped
that the foundation of the building will
contain the library proper, reception
hall for the various soldiers societies,
committee rooms and public hall. The
secretary of the association is John Ii.
Sheldon of Dorset.

A Bad Fire at Fair Haven.

A big fire occurred at Fair Haven Mon
day morning, resulting In the destruction
of the Knight block. The fire depart
ment responded quickly after the alarm
was given and found the fire on the
second floor. 1t was thought it could be
confined there but soon burst out through
the roof of the hall on the third floor.
The building above the second story was
totally destroyed. The Wilson & Root
stock of clothing and the Boston shoe
store stock was flooded with water and
badly damaged. Other occupants of the
building were the r. B. ID. club, the
the Bachelors club and Edward Bon
vile, barber. The loss on the block is
about $4,000, insured for $ll 900; cloth
ing store, $4,000, insurance $4,000; shoe
store, $1,000, insurance $4,000. The other
tenants had no insurance. The fire Is
supposed to have been caused by defec-
tive fues.

A Woman Bear-Hunter.

Mrs. Edwin BurditU of Wallingford
had quite an experience few days ago.
She had gone into the woods in the
neighboring town of Shrewsbury with
her husband, who was out looking for
deer, and carried rifle. Mrs Burditt
became separated from her husband,
and getting tired, sat down on log to
res. She soon heard a cracking in the
underbrush, and supposed it was deer.
She was somewhat surprised when a
large black bear made its appearance.
The huntress took good aim and fired,
the shot taking effect, but second one
was necessary before bruin was dead.
1t weighed 100 pounds and is probably
the only animal of the kind killed by a
women in Vermont in many years. She
was much elated over the event.

There was a good attendance at the
special village meeting Monday after
noon, called TO see what action should be
taken towards repairing the damages
caused by the late flood, says BennIng-

A Washington despatch of Oct. IA
says: E. j. Phelps of Vermont, who
was minister to England during Cleve-
lands first administration, collapsed
while making an argument before the
United States Supreme court today in
the case of the Southern railway against
the Carnegie Steel company, and could
not continue. Mr.. Phelps had talked
for an hour, when his voice failed and he
sank into chair. The sitting of the
court was suspended to give him a
chance to recover. When it was found
that he could not regain his voice he was
taken to the office of Mr.. McKenny, the
clerk of the court. After resting there
for two hours he recovered the use of
his vocal organs and requested Justice
White to take him to the Shoreham
hotel, where he was registered. 1t was
decided, however, to take him to the
home of Clerk McKenny. The physicians
who were called decided that Mr..
Phelps illness was caused by oyerwork
and lack of nourishing food. They pre-
scribed rest and said the patient would
be all right again in few days.

Fred Robinson of on Wilmington came
very near capturing some big game while
out hunting last week near what is
known as "IIigley Orchard" in the vi
entity of Haystack mountain. Late in
the afternoon Mr.. Robinson espied two
bears-one large animal and the other a
small one. He got in range as quick as
ne could, took aim and blazed away at
the big bear. The bullet went straight
to its mark and Mr. Robinson thinks it
passed way through the body, as there
were two streams of blood left behind.
He attempted to shoot again, but the
rifle baked and the bears got out of
range before he could get the rife reload
ed. After following the wounded ami
NAL for a mile or more by the marks of
blood left behind, which made an excel
lent trail, it commenced to get dark and
Mr.. Robinson then turned his face home
ward, thinking that the wounded bear
would soon grow exhausted and die.
That night there was a heavy rain and
when the hunter returned to hunt for the
bear next morning all trace of the trail
had been washed away and, after hunt
ing late into the afternoon, Mr.. Robinson
returned without game.
