the shape af an old flint-lock double.
barrel pistol. The pistol was dug up
in 1859 by Albert A. Williams OF
Dandy on the farm of William Mar
shall, about a mile and half north
of Schuylerville, N. Y, near a house
occupied as headquarters by General
Burgoyne ABOUT Oct. LIST, l71I. The
weapon is supposed TO have belonged
to British officer. The barrels are
about four inches in length and both
are still loaded. The stock has rotted
away and the iron is badly rusted.
General Kingsley will place the pistol
in the memorial hall collection.
w. H. Ward, the contractor, who
has been constructing the dam at
Bolton Falls, has quit work there and
departed. Before leaving he instruct
ed his men TO take down the derricks
and other apparatus used in con-
structing the dam and they at once
began the work OF dismantling. 1t
appears that since the wreckaAe caus-
ed by high water several weeks ago
the contractor had become dis
couraged, and when some three weeks
ago, about 40 feet Of the flash boards
were again washed away Mr.. Ward
expressed the desire to throw up his
job, for this season, at least. The
Consolidated Lighting company Of
Montpelier have secured an injunction
against the removal of any Of the
machinery.
The large influx of law-breakers
has filled the house of correction TO
OVERLOOKING and the necessity Of en-
larging the institution is becoming
more apparent doubling up" has
become imperative and % prisoners
are obliged to sleep in the hospital.
The crowded condition CT the place is
not confined to the sleeping quarters
but includes the workshop as well.
The cause is principally the strict en-
forcement Of the tramp law and al
though other minor Otlenses bring in
good share Of the prisoners most OF
those recently arrived have been IN
carcerated for the offence mentioned.
In spite OF the crowded condition,
however, there is hardly a really sick
man in the whole Jail and even slight
disorders are uncommon.
Edward j. Hall, who has been an
inmate of tie insane asylum at Wa
terbury, has arrived at his home in
Bennington. During these years
that he has been away he has con-
stantly insisted that he was sane, and
addressed several letters and petitions
to the governors of both Connecticut
and Massachusetts,. These did no
good and finally he appealed to JUS
tice Taft Of the supreme court. His
counsel here secured a habeas corpus
proceeding and hearing was held
before Judge Taft at Montpelier last
Saturday, with the result that he was
ordered discharged from the asylum.
Mr.. Hall is a grandson OF the late ex-
Governor Inland Hall, and only son of
the late John V. Hall, for many years

Milk Personalities.

Look out for the man with the pat
ent milk preventative.
There are various agents now
abroad in the land selling "Freezene, "
sNo-ice-needed Preservative, Liquid
Milk Sweet" and several such nos
trums intended, incidentally, TO keep
milk from souring, and TO gather in
the farmers loose change.
In all those several cases which have
been reported to the Vermont expert
ment station, the chemical basis of the
prcservatiye is the same. Ii is for
maldehyde-formalin-a powerful
disinfectant and germicide, but not a
desirable article of diet for the human
species. tits not strictly and seriously
poisonous, but il is held by all the
best authorities TO be harmful To the
digestive system.
1t is the same material now largely
in use in creameries for preserving
samples of milk for testing. IL will
certainly keep milk from souring; and
il thus enables the slovenly dairyman
TO cover up many of his worst negli-
gences. IL leaves him free TO enjoy the
filth of an unclean stable, to save him
self the trouble Of cleaning his cans,
to be as loose and lazy and wicked a
he pleases.
This is not to say that the man who
uses Preservative, Freezene and the
like is necessarily that sort Of fellow;
but these chemicals DO protect him
from the results of negligence and ig-
norance. and seem, 10 the unpreju-
diced observer, TO offer the careless
milkman an undeserved salvation
from his sins.-Experiment Station

4 RnId Robbery.

Miss Mary Miles of Putney was
surprised the other day while at work
in the kitchen, by two men. Both
wore masks and carried reyolvers and
one had club about two feet long.
At first Miss Miles thought her neph-
ews were trying TO play joke upon
her, but she soon discovered that the
men were in earnest. They demanded
her money and then one of them
struck her in the face, knocking her
down and smashing her artificial
teeth, and causing blood to flow from
her nose. They then procured a tow
ell, and while one OF them held il over
Miss Miles mouth, the other went
through the house, securing only
about Sl3. The robbers put Miss Miles
down cellar and fastened the door and
then hurriedly left the place. Mr..
Miles came in in about an hour and
called to his sister, who LET him know
her whereabouts by rapping upon the
cellar door The next morning Mr..
Miles notified Deputy Sheriff a. W.
j. wilkins, who suspected some local
toughs. The robbers conversed in
whispers, which fact is considered
good ground for the belief that they
were local characters who did not
wish to give away their identity
through the medium Of their voices.
Kit Dean and james Breed, local
toughs, are each held under $500
bonds, though the evidence against
them is meagre.

A Notable Divorce Case.

When Julia Marlowe Taber, the
celebrated actress, who is starring in
Barbara Frietchie" at the Criterion,
in New York, petitioned the Lamoille
county court for bill of divorce
from her husband, Robert i. Taber,
she instructed her attorney, w. b. G.
Stickney Of Bethel, TO keep the pro-
ceedings from the public by sliding
the petition through the court with
out attracting attention.
The attorney for the petitioner
waited until nearly everyone had left
the court room Monday of last week
before he presented his case TO the
court. The proceedings were con-
Quoted as quietly as possible. Two
witnesses, Miss Daley, the petitioners
maid, and Christian q. Gilbert were
sworn. Both spoke in a low tone
and the questions were asked almost
in a whisper, in order that the out
side world should know nothing
about the case. The evidence of other
witnesses was handed to the court in
the form Of dispositions.
Mrs. Marlowe, or Mrs. Taber, adj
mitted that she was married under
an assumed name by Rev. Mr..
Blanchard of st. james church,
Philadelphia, in 1894. The name as
sumed for the occasion was Sarah
Francis Frost. Her husband, she
said, was an actor. They lived hap
PLY until 1896, when he became
abusive. Taber was jealous of the
many complimentary press notices
given to his wife, while his name was
seldom mentioned in the newspapers.
On one occasion, Mrs. Marlowe testi-
fled, he had thrown her out of bed
and partially s:rangled her. At
other times he assaulted her in a
brutal way, beating her so furiously
that the marks from his blows were
left upon her body. She said that
in 1897 he deserted her and ceased to
contribute to her support.
The maid said that in Utah, one
time, she saw Taber violently attack
his wife while at the dinner table in
their apartments. He had just read
a press notice containing some very
complimentary remarks about her.
Throwing down the newspaper, he
seized the woman by the throat and
pushed her of the seat. In the
struggle that followed. the table was
overturned.
Christian G.. Gilbert, the other wit
ness who appeared in court, is stage
manager and actor. He said he had
known Mr.. and Mrs. Taber since
they were married, and that they had
lived very happy prior to 1896, when
Taber became jealous Of his wife's
fame. The witness said he had seen
Taber abuse and brutally assault Mrs. |
Taber.
The defence did not produce any
witnesses. l.. e. Moody of Water
bury appeared as attorney for Taber. !
A stipulation has been signed By !
the attorneys on both sides Of the case !
providing that if divorce should be
granted, Mrs. Taber shall receive |
-, 600 alimony. This stipulation has
been placed on file and it NAV pre-
vent further litigation in the case.
Judge Taft reserved decision in the
divorce proceedings.
Julia Marlowe lived at Stowe, La
noble county, for several years prior
TO the beginning Of her suit for a
divorce. She owns a country home \
in that town.
Taber Is an Englishman and the
only way in which he is known TO
the world is as the husband Of Julia
Marlowe.

The Brooklyn team returned to home grounds
yesterday and in tho face Of eight consecutive
defeats the oaookers gave the players nearly
reception. The general verdict OF the spectators
was that the team had met with an unlucky streak
and that It would before long make up Tor lost
ground Then the spectators argued that there was
no reason for Encouragement so long as the nome
team continued to set the pace in the race for the
pennant.
Manager Harlon decided 10 give Maui trial IN
the pitching department. as that player had had
a long rest and he said that he was In hrst-class
shape The result was an easy victory for the home
team. the Philadephians being unable to bat with
any effect after the second inning. The result was
never in doubt. The home players took the Lead
in the opening inning and the Quaker City men
could never get anywhere near them Jennings
was back in his old position AZ shortstop, Casey
going to the bench. The only other change In the
makeup OF the home team since II started on us
disastrous trip was that Anderson covered hrst
base in place Of McGann. The Philadelphla, men
out ba tied the home players, but they could not
make hits when hits meant runs. The held work
OF the Brooklyn men was excellent throughout

NO GAMES WITH THE AUSTRALIANS.

The invitation 20 visit the United States which
the Associated Cricket Clubs OF Philadelphia sent
TO the Australian cricketers touring IN England
has been treated with scant courtesy by Major
Ward, the clubs manager, and 1t is now under
stood that the expected TO be played in this
country in the autumn will not take place The in
vitation sent TO the Australians in the spring
but no reply was received. and cable dispatch was
treated in like manner. Under the circumstances,
II is more than probable that no negotiations can
now take place. and It will be a great dsappoint-
ment TO the cricketers OF this country not 10 see
these famous crcketers.
The Philadelphians are now considering the ad-
visibility of bringing another team over, or letting
the pass far International cricket is con-
cerned. II is thought that the big games in the
autumn keep alive the interest and enthusiasm In
the sport. and as the matches have always been a
success financially In Philadelphia the opinion pre-
walls that the games should not be discontinued
There Is plenty OF time yet TO enter into negotia-
tions for another visiting team.
