The result Of Tuesdays biennial elec-
tion in Vermont shows many surprises.
the Republican vote having fallen Oft
quite materially from four years ago.
whereas the party managers expected
1t would equal. II not exceed. the vote
Of 1894. The Democrats have not only
made gain for governor. but have
elected 81 representatives in 179 towns
heard from. while tnly II were seated
the last off year. The, Prohibition vote
shows falling off of over 40 per cent.
One Prohibitionist has been elected>to
the house of representatives. Con-
gressmen Grout and Powers are re-
elected by substantial majorities. The
Republicans have elected their capdi-
dates for senator's in every county.

HANDKERCHIEF
AS A CLUE.
Effort 10 Prove That Mrs.
Botkin Bought One
Like That in the
Box of Poison
ed Candy.

San Francisco. CAL, Sept. 7.-The po-
soe arc making every olfort to obtain proof
that Mrs Botkin. who Is accused of send-
ing to Dover. Del, the box Of poisoned
CaDdy which caused the death of Mrs. j.
p Dunning and Mrs.'J. d. Dean, bought
a handkerchief ut the CITY Of Paris"
store prior to mailing box Of candy ON
Augusta.
1t has been learned that the accused wo.
nan visited that store August 8, and cash
tags Of that day show that one or moro 25-
cent handkerchiefs were sold. None of
tho clerks who wero behind the counters
IL able to remember TO whom she made a
sale, but f. A. Reynaud. book kkeepar, re-
calls having cashed money order for Mrs
Botkin that afternoon. Referring to the
incident, Mr.. Reynaud said:
Mrs. Botktn frequently oashed money
orders at the desk, and shu usually came
to me for the accommodation. Ihavs gone
over my books and am almost positive
that Dashed postal order from Stockton
for her on that day. presume the postal
nu horitles will be able 10 trace the order.
II lis found, tho signature Of the payee
and lha date when it was Dashed will be
readily verified. Besides 1t will contain
tho Endorsement OF our cashier. I do
not know whether Mrs. Botkin made a
purohass that day or not. She came per-
sonaly to the desk and presented postal
order. As I had oashed orders for her be-.
fore, did not hesitate In giving her tho
amount Of tho nots'
Mr.. Reyn aud's statement adds another
theoretical link to the chain OF evidence
against Mrs. Botkin. Her vlsls to the City
OF Paris store. Joined with the fact that a
hankerchief similar to the one In The box
of poisoned candy may have been sold to
her there is insignificant.
New York, Sept. mo progress has
been made by the police In solving the
