Food on His Head.
One messenger boy has come to grief.
II is noticed in Butte that the messen-
ger lads take a delight In carrying all
kinds of parcels on their heads. They
also carry large dinner trays on their
heads. and the larger the crowd they
have to pass through the better they
like 1t. No serious disaster had be-
fallen any of them until yesterday at
the lunch hour. One young blue coat
had delivered a large tray load of VIC

Bad Mistake.

The Warrant for FreemRn's Meeting
Posted Illegally and Bellows Falls
Citizens May he Deprived OF the Right
of Suffrage.
All day Monday the only topic to be
discussed about the square and in the of.
fees of the lawyers, was the mistake in
regard to the posting of the warrant an
nouncing the freemen's meeting. The
laws of the state demand that the election
shall be held on the first Tuesday in Sep
TENDER and they also require that a notice
shall be posted in four different places in
the town by the first. constable not less than
II and not more than 20 days before the
first Tuesday. Monday morning, after the
notice dated August 30, 1893 was posted,
in front of the town hail. some one dscov-
cred that it should according to the stat
utes, have been posted last Thursday at the
latest. The intelligence spread all about
town and by noon every one was deploring
the misfortune of being deprived of their
vote.
1t app ars that the oversight was caused
by the constable, j. w. Buemond getting
the requirements in regard to the warrant
confused with those in regard to the card
of instructions and the sample ballot
days before the day of election, while the
law requires that the list of candidates, an
other document in charge of the constable,
must be posted six days before the first
Tuesday
To the lay mind all these requirements
would seem to be sufficient to cause trouble
to dozen legal gentlemen, and it is little
wonder that the constable neglected to get
his warrant posted.
Mr.. Bolles, the town clerk, says that he
will proceed in the usual way and make out
his r. gular ballot as in former years. but
he is not certain as to just what the out
come of the matter will be.
1t is annoying that such a thing should
happen at this stage of proceedings a
both parties were preparing to bring GU
an exceptionally large vote week from to
dav.
But as matters are now it is likely tina
much interest will be lost when the leader
consider that perchance after electing
candidate he may not be able to be legal,
installed in his office. Some citizens sa,
that the judges, sheriff and officers of tn
different courts will be appointed by tn
governor, while the town will remain with
out a representative.
The situation has developed some anus
ing incidents, many citizens being yer,
much disappointed at losing their votes
One man in particular says that he has
scheme by which he will vote in New
Hampshire, if the laws have deprived hin
of suffrage in the state of Vermont

Disastrous Fire at Fairfax.

A serious fire broke out in the village of
Fairfax Friday night. The flames appear
ed in the rear of Curley's drug store at Q. -
O'Clock and spread very rapidly to adioin-
ing buildings. The store of Ira +, Hunt
and the residences of William Bellows and
Nelson Learned were first consumed. The
fire then spread to a grist mill owned by
Palmer IL Hunt, and this structure and
three barns were destroyed The Learned
house was occupied by Martin Shedd, who
lost most of his effects. Part of the con-
tents of Hunts store and the Bellows resi-
dence were saved. The furniture and the
paraphernalia in the Masonic hall, over
Hunts store, went with the building. The
total loss is estimated at $25, 000 with in
surance of about half that amount.

Another Gift from Col. Webb.

Gen. T. S. Peck returned Saturday from

guest of DR.. w. Seward Webb As he
was about to leave DR.. Webb handed him
check for 500 with explicit instructions
to spare no means in procuring everything
necessary for the comfort of Vermont S
sick soldiers, and when this was exhausted
to call on him for $500 more. This makes
$1,000 which DR.. and Mrs. w. Seward
Webb have contributed for the comfort of
the Vermont troops since they started for
Chickamauga. One of the surgeons of the

The Delevan House property in Albany,
n. Y, in years gone by one of the most no
table places of public entertainment in
this country, has been sold to the New
York Central railroad, which will build
upon its site an imposing railroad station.
One of the most singular of railway ac-
cidents was that near Genoa, by which
dozen lives we're recently lost. The Giori
tunnel, in which it occurred, is very long,
and so foul that the windows are shut,
leaving the passengers to keep alive on
what air is already in the car But the
engineers have no such support, and the
accident was caused by the fact that all
the drivers and fremen on the three en-
gines needed to haul the train up the
heavy grade of the tunnel were asphyxi,,
ated. The train consequently slipped
back and plunged into passenger train
at the bottom of the incline.

mt Hundreds of Dollars Changed
appeared In the Night.
The 100-yards dash, which aroused so
much interest during the week, was pulled
off on Saturday evening about $3.50.
Glenn won by two feet and all things con-
sidered it was a very holly contested race.
About 400 or 500 people gathered at the
upper end of Atkinson street. many com
inc about o'clock There was consider
able betting, as a great many of the local
sportng men had tha utmost confidence
in Moran, aud there was no scarcity of
Glenn hackers.
one man from Rutland is thought to
have won between $500 and $400. w. f.
Pierce of the Police News was referee and
had charge of the finish. Moran lost about
five yards on the start, but at the fifty
yard line he began a magnificent squirt,
which rapidly closed up the distance be-
tween him and Glenn. Many of the spec
tators thought that Moran would win, and
only those directly opposite the flush were
able to distinguish which man was first
over the mark.
Moran made a protest Immediately to
the referee claiming the start was unfair;
that gentleman did not allow it, but de-
cared Glenn the winner.
Moran took his defeat with very good
grace, which can hardly be said of some of
the men who had backed him heavily.
They demanded that the race should be
run over again or the money refunded to
the hackers. For short time it looked as
though there would be some trouble, but
nobody seemed to care to take the lead
This is probably the last of the race.

Many of the men about town have been
thinking of late that everything was not

at the Commercial House. This feeling
was heightened by the fact that the whole
party left town for parts unknown, some
time Saturday evening or Sunday morning

Stays in Jail Because He Refuses to

Rufus Barnes, 80, and veteran of the

little over 81, and which he acknowledges
to be straight and honest Barnes for
merly owned good farm at Sherman, and
did a good deal of his trading at the gen
eral store of f. j. Bullock Il Co., in
Readsboro. Later he became a resident
of various places in Massachusetts, but
few days ago he ventured into Vermont.
A warrant was issued and Barnes was
overtaken as he was making good time for
the st tie line. At the hearing Mr.. Bull
lock presented the bill for goods sold, the
original account without interest being less
than 81, and judgment was given for that
amount. A this point Barnes coolly told
Bullock that he could do one of two things,
let him go or send him to Jail, as he would
not pay the bill. Within an hour Barnes
was on his way to the Bennington Jail,
where he has been for nearly two weeks.
