Michael Sullivan was arrested for intoxi-
cation, Saturday evening, by officer De-
merritt. In city court he pleaded guilty to
the charge and paid his fine of S1251. He
testified to having two drinks Of split"
from John Brown, a fellow workman.
Brown was brought into court and explain
ed that he had obtained pint OF alcohol
Saturday evening by presenting written
order at the city agency, and that he had
given Sullivan some OF 1t to drink, not
thinking he was breaking the law. Brown
is young man who has borne good repu-

and Grand Juror Carleton asked the court
to impose the minimum sentence Brown

The parties racing horses, attached to
sulkies, made themselves obnoxious on the
principal streets of the city late Saturday
night and narrowly escaped doing serious
damage. Two women were driving from
Waterbury and on reaching upper Main
street encountered these racers. The thill
OF one OF the sulkies struck the binder Of
the bride, worn by the horse driven by the
women, jamming it into his eye. AS the
sulky flew past, one of the wheels caught
on the thill of the womens' wagon, break
ing it off short. The racers never stopped
to see whether any one was injured, but
pushed ont Of sight. Their identity is un-
known. Levi Alexander and friend, who
were on their way home at the time, rushed
to the rescue Of the women and got their
horse free from the wagon which was taken
to the shop Of Eli Catie. He was sum-
repairs as the women were obliged to re-
turn home to Waterbury early Sunday
morning Aside from this damage, this
reckless driving kept those along the route
from their sleep.
Several visiting and resident alumni Of
the Montpelier Seminary have, during the
summer, considered the advisability Of
forming young alumni association to meet
in the fall that those who cannot be here
in the spring may have an opportunity to
come and meet their old school friends. To
this end meeting was held last week and
a committee was chosen to invite the young
or alumni Of the Seminary, and in fact all
those who have attended the school, wheth-
or graduates or not, to attend a meeting to
be held Monday, September 1S. for the
purpose Of forming permanent organiza-
tion. A light banquet will be served at
which toasts will be offered by representa-
tives Of Yale, Harvard, Amherst, Wesleyan,
Dartmouth and the University of Vermont
who are alumni Of Montpelier Seminary,
after which reception will be held in the
Seminary psrlors. The business meeting
will be held in the lecture room at FIVE
o'clock in the afternoon when business will
be considered Of importance to all who have
ever attended the Seminary. The move
ment toward forming this new organiza-
ton is meeting with favor. About twenty
have already signified their intention of be-
ing present at the meeting, and they hearth
ly endorse the scheme.
