FINED 500 AND COSTS.


If any of the people of this city were
disposed to discredt the statement made
by this paper Monday morning that the
town was practically wide-open Saturday
night and sunday, it needed only the test-
monY of j. Il. Kelley, the apparent pro-
prictor of the City Hotel, in city court Mon
day morning to have convinced thcm
that business was lively. Mr.. Kelley tcs
titled that he operated the bar at the City
Hotel, that he opened the hotel on Sunday
morning about o'clock, remaining there
until "a quarter Of seven in the evening,
went upstairs and ate d bowl of soup AMI
returned at : o'clock to remain in the bar
until II o'clock at night, when it was clos
ed after having been open, according to
the testimony of the man who appeared
as its proprietor, from + O'Clock in the
morning Until II o'clock at night. Not
only did Mr.. Kelley testify to these facts
but on Cross-eXaminatiOn it appeared that
his dinner was sent in t. him.
The dissemination of this information
came from the intoXication of a man
named John Price who works as a mason
upon the new high school building. This
man was convicted in city court Mon
day of having been intoxicated on Sunday
night and was fined s. and costs of $9.5l.
Under the law he was forced to make Il
disclosure and testified that he secured Il
glass of liquor at the City Hotel on sun
day evening. j. T.. Kelley was summoned
and Price said he was not the man of
whom he secured the whiskey Russell 7.
Aver was then called into the room and
Unidentified by Price as the man who wait
cd ON him. a hearing was held and Aver
was fined by Judge Russell 800 and costs
of 500 to which an appeal was entered
and bail fixed al 500. This was secured.
j. f. Kelley was called by the defence
and gave testimony as to having been in
the bar practically all day and being sup
planted 10y Aver for short time in the
evening lie did not see the man Price
at all
Aver testified that he did not sell Price
any liquor and that he never saw the man,
as far as he could remember He worked
for Mr.. Kelley at the hotel
y severe CrosS-cXaminaton failed to
shake the testimony of Price to having
gotten the drink of Aver lie said he gave
Aver dollar and did not count his
change ON counting his money in court
he found he had only Ca cents.
Sheriff Reeves, who arrested Price said
he was very drunk.

RAILROAD MAGNATES HERE.


In this season of railroad rumors and
conjecture the presence of General Mama
ger Fitzhugh of the Central Vermont Rail-
way and President Clement of the Rut-
land Railroad in this city Monday was Il
sufficient cause for several different stOr-
les. AS is usual when meetings of this
character occur, the public Immediately
jumps to the conclusion that matters Of
great Importance are about to be settled.
General Manager Fitzhugh came down
from St Adams in the private car Mans
field and President Clement came to the
city from Rutland in the observation en-
CINE Ne-ha-sa-ne. Superintendent Pierce
of the Rutland Railroad was also present
at the meeting. The gentlemen were i'll

close of the meeting II was announced
that nothing of Importance had been ac-
complished and that the meeting was held
for the discussion Of the relations of the
TWO roads at Burlington. Nothing was
touched upon in relation to the rumored
transfer of tho Essex Junction and Bur
lngton branch The location of the Rut-
land Canadian extension in this city with
relation to the tracks Of the Central YER

THE OGDENSBURG TRANSIT co.
Story of the Recent Deal Whereby Its
Boats Pass to the Rutland Railroad,

In order TO ensure Western connections
permanently for the Rutland Railroad il
became necessary to gain control of the
boats of the Ogdensburg Transit company
or some other line. The story of the Og-
densburg Transit company's absorption is
thus told by the Ogdenshurg journal:
1t seems that majority Of the stock of
the company was owned by the Central
Vermont Railway company, which is con-
trolled entccly by the Grand Trunk. The
stock is of no Intrinsic value as the boats
are mortgaged for 1924 900 which is at least
equal to their full value. 7 he Rutland
Railroad company had purchased ma
jority Of the bonds of the company and

mission aud il Cost Him SCI.

Because he took another mans team
from a livery stable instead of hiring one
belonging to the proprietor it cost Edward
ChiOtt S2l to secure his release from jail
Monday afternoon. A team lcgitimately
secured would probably have cost Chiott 81

Stevens, the man in charge of the stable,
did not remember any team put up at the
stable by Chiott but when the gray horse
of Collins was pointed out by Chiott AS
his, Stevens hitchcd the animal up and
Chiott drove away.
Chott was accompanied by Almira Mani

conditional pardon from Gov. Grout, hay

ill-fame. The conditional pardon dates
back to August. 1897, and the sentence was
for five years.
1t was but a short time after the gray
horse had been hitched up that Collins
came to the stable and asked for his team
which could not be found. He then de,
