INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS
About Last Weeks North End DIsturb-
anCe.

Several interesting developments have
grown out of the disturbance on Tyler and
Terrace streets last Friday morning by the
intoxicated laborers from the Retreat farm.
Edwin Canton, who was fined $35 81, as
told in The Phoenix last week, disclosed
that he obtained his liquor at the brewery,
and as a result Hinsdale officers arrested
f. G. Gale and took him to Hinsdale for a
hearing Saturday. Gale waived examina-
ton and was put under bonds in the sum
of 5000 for his appearance in court. On
Friday afternoon Chief-of- Police Hall ar
rested William Mcbride, another of the
men who created the disturbance on Tyler
and Terrace streets, and he was arraigned
before Judge Newton on charge of in
toxcatio .. He pleaded not guilty and his
hearing was continued to Monday in
order to take him to Hinsdale as a wit
ness in another case against the brewery,
but he skipped town and has not been
seen since. On Monday Policeman Wor-
den served a subpoena upon one John
Austin, who had previously disclosed that
he had obtained liquor at the brewery, to
appear in Hinsdale, as a witness against
the brewery, but Austin refused to go,
claiming that he could not be compell-
ed TO go outside the state to testify in a
case of this kind. One of the statutes of
Vermont is that If clerk of court of
record in another state makes an affidavit
that there is in this state a material wit
ness in criminal case pending in that
court the justice of the peace to whom it
is presented in this state shall issue sub
pGna which may be served upon the wit
ness with tender of his fees, and if the
witness refuses to appear he may be fined
5000. In this case the witness was ten.
dered his fees, in fact the fees were put
into his pocket by the policeman, but he
Immediately threw them upon the ground
and refused absolutely to go. Some of the
local attorneys question the constitution
ality of the statute, but it is not likely
that test case will be made by reason of
Austin's conduct.

South Ryegate Fire Swept.
Four of Its Best Buildings Burned.

Charged with Setting the Fire.
The biggest fire in the history of South
Ryegate caused a loss of $40, 900 Thursday
morning, destroying four of the best
buildings in the heart of the village, in.
Guiding three stores, the post-ofiice and a
livery stable in which eight horses persisted.
The buildings destroyed are the r. G..
w. store, so called, owned by Martin Glib
son; the post-office, H. W. Hibbard's gen.
eral store, A. T. Gays iewelry store, Chas.
Oakley's livery stable, the Murphy house,
the best private house in the village, and
the Ryegate granite works office The
r, G. W. hotel was damaged but not de-
troyed. 1t was saved by covering the roof
with carpets thoroughly wet
The contents of all the buildings were
destroyed. The village had no fire pro-
lection. 1t was feared at one time that
the village would be entirely destroyed,
and many of the residents moved or
packed their goods. The fire started in
the livery stable and was discovered about
4 O'Clock. A tramp who is supposed to
have slept in the livery stable was arrested,
charged with setting the fire. The in
surance on the property destroyed was
about $4,000.

Night Marauders at J. l.. Baruey,s.

Night marauders are not infrequeut in
Brattleboro, but they do not often go in
so large a number as they did last Tues
day night to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
l. Barney, in district No. :. More than
so of their neighbors and friends visited
them to remind them Of the 10th ami
versary of their marriage. No plumber
was intended with the exception of taking
Mr.. and MIS- Barney by surprise. When
it is said that large delegation from the
miller family" were present it will be I'M
derstood that it was jolly company. The
noted "auctioneer,J G. P. Miller, in his
jovial manner, presented the happy couple
with sum of money, which was small
compared with the great esteem and re-
spect in which they are held by their visit
ing friends.
Cake and coffee were served old ia
miliar songs were sung, and with hearty
hand shake, the company departed at an
early hour, leaving the worthy couple pom
dering over the surprise and wondering
if indeed this life were not really worth
living, surrounded as they were with so
many loving friends.

GRAND TRUNK OWNERS
Trying to Discover Who Started the
Rate War

LONDON, April 5.-Sir Charles Rives
Wilson, president Of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way of Canada, in a speech at the share
holders meeting today, said the principle
which the present board has always fol-
lowed was to seek the maximum amount
of business at the minimum cost. He re-
viewed the business of the company in de-
tail. Referring to the rate war, the pres
ident declared that the Canadian railroad
desired an exclusive contract with the
Grand Trunk railroad, in order to weaken
the Chicago connection and damage the
Grand Trunk railroads connecting roads
to Chicago. The Grand Trunk railroad
the speaker explained, would never give up
its close alliance with its allies.
On the larger question of differentials
and the Klondike business, the president
said that the Canadian Pacific road had
yet to prove it's title to differential. The
negotiations would be continued next
month, and it was believed an agreement
would be reached. The president also de-
clared that the future was filled with the
brightest promise.
An attack upon the board was made by
Mr.. Baker of Bristol who declared that
there was no truth in a statement of the
president regarding the Grand Trunk rail-
way not beginning the rate war. which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Baker, was brought about
in the interest of the American allies of the
road. The president denied Mr.. Baker S
assertion.
The retiring directors were reelected.

Of the President to recognize independence,
