Suit has been begun by the Barton
National bank and many other creditors
of the Vermont Investment and Guaran-
tee company against the stockholders of
the company. The creditors hold paper
issued by the company now past due
and are seeking to assess the stock
holders to the amount of their original
Investment. The company, which was
located in Orwell, failed May /, 1898,
with debts amounting to more than
81 400, 900, and ex-Gov. f. j. Orsmbee
of Brandon was appointed receiver.
Most OF the stock was held in Vermont,
Chittenden, Addison and Rutland counties
being heavily interested in the institu-
tiOn. The order for the bill in chancery
was given by Chancellor Ross in Mont
pelier May II. Copies of the bill and
the writ of sequestratiOn must be served
on each defendant and instead of being
type written both of the papers are
printed. They make 40 pages of soliC
printed matter and over POO pounds ol
paper were required to supply the de
PENDANTS with copies. The defendants
who include nearly every prominen
capitalist in Vermont, profess not to b'

The following letter has been received

brother Kirk, who left Middlebury about
two years ago and had not since been
heard from
KEY WEST, Fla, May 5.
DEAR BROTHER-Yeu will without
doubt be surprised to hear from me at
this late date, but after what have passed
through in the last two weeks and know
ing what there is to come later, | wish
to let you know where | am and what
am doing, and then if we don't meet
again in this life you will know how
went out of the world.
To begin with, | am on the L. S.
cruiser Detroit, and we have just got
back from Porto Rico and the lombard
ment of San Juan, and ! tell you that
she was hot-bo to tackle at first; but
we did her up in fine shape before we got
through with her.
The Detroit is what is classed as a
second. class cruiser, and does not
draw very much water, and so she was
sent in first to get the depth of the water
in order that the big ships would not run
aground. 1t was o'clock in the morn
ing when we found soundings of ter
fathoms go feet of water and cast Out
buoy to mark the line of fire. The rest
of the fleet was close behind us. and the
Iowa opened fire with a broadside OF
about 10 of her big guns, and you ought
to have seen the stone masonry arounc
MORO castle tumble.
In the mean time we were getting up
closer to the fort all the time. We were
within about 600 yards of their guns fol
about two hours, but those Spaniard'
are not up-to date marksmen and W.
were not bit at all during the engage
ment but the shot did fly mighty close
now you can bet, and they came thicl
and fast for the first hour and a half
The Detroit has ten modern five-inci
rapid. firing guns, and the way we die
fire them was fine--tirst one side ant
then the other; and we had the re ng'
down fine and very near every shot hi
the spot. We stayed in our position un
til the admiral signaled for us to COM
out.
think the captain of this ship woult
tackle all alone any ship Spain has got
He fears nothing and the crew are all o
Just the same temperament. | suppos
the worst is yet to come when we tackl
the Spanish fleet; but we shall give then
Just the same as we have done every
thing we have tackled. There will b
great many more men lost when W
meet the fleet. for there will be a grea
many smaller guns at work, like sil
Founders, one-pounders and riflery.
l am writing this against time, as W
are coaling up and very near done, an
when we are finished we sail for Havana
for it is rumored we are to bombar
that place on the 23d, and she is going t
be very hard place to take, as the
have some very fine guns there.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
The Sunshine of Paradise.

1t was a well-pleased audience that
last night saw "The Sunshine of Para
disc Alley" at the Lyceum 1t is a play
in four acts by Denman Thompson and
George w. Ryer, that gives a realistic
glimpse of life in New York city. The
first act is laid at an East River dock
with view Of the Brooklyn bridge and
the second Is laid in the apartments of
Widow McNally in Paradise alley. IN
the third act the alley, in all it's hideous-
ness, is shown, and in the fourth act the
audience is transported to a lovely au-
tumn scene in Bronx Park The action
of the play is rapid and the audience
never loses interest in it. Startling eli
makes are avoided. and in place of them,
situations are arranged to hold contiru-
Gus attention. The scenic accessories
were elaborate and beautiful.
The company that produced the play
was large and competent. During the
four acts many pleasing specialties were
introduced by John Walsh, John J.
Flynn, Miss Lottie Faust, James b.
Bradley, Miss Jessie Macdonald, Phila
May and Lizzie Farrell. In the fourth
act there was very entertaining foot
ball game.

A Paris Model.

This season has not been prolific in
theatrical novelties, but from all ac-
counts the new comedy, "A Paris Model"
by Jane Mauldir-Feigl, will prove one of
the best attractions presented here this
season. The company selected by Ru-
dolph Aronson is one of the best comedy
ORGANIZATIONS ever brought together and
includes Mile. Pilar-Morin who has de-
lighted exclusive society gatherings at
the Waldorf Astoria this winter with
her clever acting. This actress is prop-
ably best remembered by theater-goers
for her charming portrayal in 81 E,nfa nt
Prologue, under the management of
Augustin Daily. Others prominent in the
cast are Maud Haslam, "a popular and
clever comedienne; Caroline Cook, Mosie
Revelle. Leo Ditrichstein, an expert
character actor" William Bonnelli,
John Harrington, Felix Haney. The nro-
ductlon will be seen at the I.yceum next
Monday.

there will be an attempt to again over
stock the coal market with the certainty
of bringing prices to a point where
heavy losses must be incurred by all of
the mining companies. There seems TO
be greater willingness to observe the
conditions which the immutablo law Of
supply and demand requires for its full
hlment. There Is a closer appreciation
also of the fact that the non observance
of these conditions involves not only low
prices for the product, but the difference
betewen some adequate return for the
capital and labor expended, and an ac-
tual loss which must be paid from some
other resource. 1t is because these mat
ters have come to be appreciated at last
by the large moned interests that there
is unusually good reason to hope fer a
continuance of the improvement now
noted.
