Fort Ethan Allen Troops In Tennessee.

The Knoxville, Tenn, journal of April "a
contained the following: s...
"On account of delay on the Norfolk &
Western railroad, troops G, E, F and G of
the Third cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen,
Burlington, Vt, arrived in this city yester-
day morning and several hours later than
their regular schedule time.
When they did arrive, however, they were
given rousing reception. In fact, the scene
when the train leaving the troops pulled into
the station, is beyond description. Two
thousand people were gathered at the depot,
on the Gay street bridge, ETC., and when the
train stopped in the passenger shed shout
went up, such as has seldom, if ever, been
heard in Knoxville; About 1000 people were
in the railroad yards when the troops arrived
and in less than 10 minutes 500 more had
climbed over the high fences. A number of
women forgot themselves and ia their haste
to get to the train, climbed over the high
fence on Depot street east of Gay street.
The first section of the train arrived at 45
carrying the horses of the troops $50 in num-
Der. 1t was in charge of Capt. Alexander
Williams and Dr. Snyder of the hospital
corps. Fifteen cars were necessary to accom-
modate guards and horses of the first section.
The stock was watered and fed and after
stop of about half an hour the train pulled out
amid the widest shouts from the crowd.
At 40 the crowd on the Gay street bridge
saw the second section coming into the east
end of the yards. The bridge screw" gave
tuO ST SuOuI WHICH was GdkeI up by Inc
hundreds who had congregated in the freight
and passenger sheds and along Depot street.
With Cuban and American flags flying
from almost every window OF the train, four
troops of the Third cavalry pulled into the
depot at 10 10.
Rations had not been "dished OUT during
the morning and breakfast was the first thing
in order. All the officers breakfasted with
Donahue at the railroad restaurant the pri-
Yates receiving their rations from the quar-
termaster sergeant.
The third cavalry band was with the troops
and after the meal had been served they
entertained the crowd with number of
patriotic selections, "Dixie," "The Girl
Left Behind Me- 'Yankee DOODLE" and
others were ratified off
No music was carried by the members of
the band, but without exception everything
was played that was called for.
Although the majority of the men are of
northern birth they know how to catch their
crowd. Their first selection was "Dixie,"
which they repeated as their train pulled out
of the depot.
Blue uniforms and patriotic music were
too much for number of old soldiers who
gave way to tears.
The troops were exceptionally fine looking
men. After 40 minutes stay in this city
they left for Chattanooga amid the cheers Of
at least 1000 people.
James Lusby, an old Knoxville man, was
among the troops, being member of troop
G. He was met at the depot by number of
old acquaintance and friends"

For States Attorney.

At their convention this spring the re-
publicans of Windham county will select
nominee for states attorney. The office,
having been held by man from the north
probate district the past two years, be-
longs to the south district this term and the
indications are that considerable interest
will be manifested in the selection by the
people OF this district.
Brattleboro has two candidates in the
race for the office-H. G. Barber and An
thony Schwenk-both young men. 1t has
been quite generally understood for two
years or more that Mr.. Barber would make
an effort to secure the nomination this
spring and enough prominent republicans
have pledged him their support to give him
q clear advantage over Schwenk. Per-
.onally, The Times has nothing against
these candidates, but it seems to us there
are many reasons why the nomination
should not go to either of them. Both are
young men OF limited experience who have
not yet demonstrated their legal ability so
thoroughly as might be desired in accord
ance with the unwritten rule of this coun-
| ty, neither of them should have the nomi-
nation in preference to an older and more
experienced lawyer, should such man en-
ter the field from the southern district.
And then again, Brattleboro has monopo-
lized this office pretty much all the time
(when the office belonged to the southern
DISTRICT tor a long and unbroken term of
years and it seems as though this locality
should be given a turn now.
The office of states attorney ought to
come this way and The Times wishes to
nominate Charles S. Chase of Nottingham
as the candidate of the people of this sec
ton. We can all agree that Mr.. Chase is
eminently qualified to fill this or any other
position which might he rendered him. He
has practiced law at the Vermont bar con-
tinuously for Is years or more, during
which time he has won an enviable reputa
ton for ability and tact in handling the
many important cases which have been en-
trusted to his care. Up to the present
time, Mr.. Chase has never asked for or re-
ceived any elective state or county office.
He does not actively seek for the office OF
states attorney, has never announced him
self candidate and will make no personal
canvass for the nomination. There is no
doubt, however, but what he would fully
appreciate the honor if the republicans of
Windham county saw fit to tender him the
nomination voluntarily.
The Times believes Charles S. Chase to
be by all odds the strongest, most able and
popular man which the republicans of this
county can put forward this year and a
united effort upon the part of his friends
will assure his nomination, in our opinion.
