FOUR ALARMS SOUNDED.
Fire Department Kept Busy During
EarIy Morning HOurs.

Between l and clock this morning four
alarms of fire We're sounded and the en-
gines had to make runs in the rain. The
first of the four alarms was turned In from
box As, a few minutes after ! o'clock, for
fire in the house of Samuel Thomas, No. 800
Van street southwest A coal oil lamp had
exploded in the house and by the time
the fremen reached the house the flames
had spread to the room adjoining that in
which the lamp exploded. No time was lost
by the enginemen, and the fire was extin-
guished before it spread to the adjoining
houses.
The damage done to the property is es-
timated at $500, and the members of
Thomas family had to seek shelter at the
house Of friend.
About o'clock fire in the house of Mr..
G. Taylor Wade, No. GA street north
west, caused little excitement. The
smell of smoke aroused Mrs. Wade and In
vestigation showed that there was a blaze
in the chimney. No. engine company was
summoned to the house and the flames
were soon extinguished. About 800 dam
age was dore.
An alarm was sounded from box 514 about

around Alexander Stephens chair as

WASHINGTON LETTER.

SPECIAL COZ BBsTeSpENcE OF THE MONITOR.
Washington, March GOTH, 1899.
President Mckinley had decided to
return to Washington early this week
before he got the news of the begin
ming of what there is every reason to
believe will be the final campaign
against the organized Filipinos, by
Gen Otis, but it is probable that the
knowledge that the fighting SO vic
toriously started by the troops of
Gen. Otis on Saturday and continued
on Sunday, would be continuous I'M
til Aguinaldo's forces have been
crushed, would have caused him to do
so anyway, as it is perfectly natural
that he should wish to be in Wash
ington when the fighting is going on.
This not because of any lack of COD
fidence in Gen. Otis-he has so much
confidence in him that he has refused
to interfere with the order issued by
Gen. Otis, putting a stop to the ne
gotiations by agents of Spain for the
ransom of Spanish prisoners held by
Aguina ldo-but because of his belief
that it is the duty of the Commander
in-Chief of the Army and Navy to be
at hea dquarters when his subordi-
mates are fighting. Acting Secretary
of War Meiklejon, and Adjutant GEN
eral Corbin, VINO have been at the
War Department almost continuous
ly since the fighting began, are high
" pleased with the successful manner
in which the plans of Gen. Otis rave
so far been carried out, and they are
both confident that Aguinaldo's army
will be a thing of the past in few
days, and that with the exception of
little bushwhacking on the part of
those who may succeed in escaping TO
the interior, the end of the war in the
Philippines is in sight.
Senator Quesada, who represented
the alleged Cuban republic in Wash
ington, although never officially rec
ognized by this government, from
almost the beginning of the Cuban
revolution until deposed by the Gu
ban Assembly, the other day, is still
in Was hington. He takes a hopeful |
view of the situation in Cuba, and be-
heves that everything will come out |
right in the end. He said: ct think |
we are going to get a fair deal. I |
think that the U. S. will do well by |
Cuba, and that Cuba is worthy of the
sacrifices that have been made in her
behalf by the .. S." He thinks the
question of annexation is one that |
should be and will be left until Cuba
has a government and q Congress
properly elected by its people to de
eide whether it would prefer main
tanning an independent republic or
being annexed to the o.. s. He says
he is perfectly satisfied that the peo-
pie of the U. S. would not consent to
the annexation of Cuba upon any
other basis than the request of a ma
jority of its people.
The Military Court of Inquiry is
again sitting in Washington. 1T is ex-
pected that it will finish its work in a
few days and make it's report. All
statements of the nature of that re-
port are guesses.

One hundred weaVers at the Win
Oski wooden mills quit work last We'd
nesday. This is the second strike within
a few weeks and it is said to have
started because the agent, B. B. Small
ley, refused to discharge the overseer
of the weavers' department at the de-
mand of the strikers. The overseer
had reprimanded and fined one of the
weavers for faulty work and the case
was reported to Mr.. Smalley for in
vestigation. After the inves tig alton,
MIR. Smalley reported that he could
find no cause for removing the over
seer. Mr.. Smalley states that it will
take several days for the other de-
partments to catch up with the weav-
ers and then unless other men can be
obtained the mill must be shut down.
Judge Jerome B. Bromley died at
his home in Castleton, March 81, af-
ter an illness of some weeks. Judge
Bromley had been seriously ill num-
Der of times the last few years, but
during the greater part of the winter
had been in good health until he was
taken sick week ago. Judge Brom-
ley was born in Pawlet in 1928. He
received his early education in Rut-
land, later studying law with George
W. Hartman of Pawlet. He was ad-
he practiced law in Pawlet until 1871,
when he came to Castleton where he
has since resided. In the spring of
1872 Judge Bromley was appointed
probate Judge which position he held
at the time of his death.
A long period of helpless endurance
and painful expectancy was ended in
the death, recently, ofMrs. Lucy Hub
bard Fifield, wife of Hon. B. F. Fifield
of Montpelier. She was born in Mont
pelier, May 6, 1888, the daughter OF
Erastus and Arabella G. Hubbard.
Jan. 4, 1865, she became the wife of
Benjamin F. Fifield, then rising
young lawyer. This was the begin
ming OF singularly happy domestic
of womanhood, Mrs. Fifield fitly sup
plemented the distinction that began
to accrue to her husbands name, and
their attractive home was often the
scene Of delightful hospitality. Two
years ago, while visiting her daughter
in New York, Mrs. Fifield was taken
suddenly i'll. She lapsed into a help
less and semi conscious state which
resisted all efforts of medical skill. In
early summer she was removed to her
home where she had been the object
of tender and unceasing care till death
merclfully interviewed to make an end
of physical conditions that had long
ceased to offer ray of hope that she
could be restored to health or con-
seriousness.

gomery, Alabama, by a former resi-
dent of Vermont, occurs this interest

Of the Western Criminal Dis

down Wednesday to meet with
the county solicitors to ar
range for the times Of holding

the Legislature had changed
the times of holding the supe-

as the act has not vet been

New York, October 15-Those
who are continually urging that
we should Withdraw our troops
from Cuba are referred to the
following extract from letter
just received by a New York
merchant engaged in the Cuban
trade. The letter is dated Sep
tember 21st and is from a sugar
planter in Santiago province. The
writer says: I'VE are harassed
by cattle thieves and are wholly
without Government protection.
We are compelled to keep a force
of twelve armed men by day and
four by night to protect the place
and property from fire and
thieves" This is a worse condi-
tion than existed even during the
war for then planters were
at any rate sure of protection of
the Spanish troops. It is little to
be wondered at that "La Lucha"
in a recent editorial should OBJ
serve that "uhe Cubans are now
fearful that the Americans will
leave them to paddle their own
canoe"

Mr.. Jeff Lanier, a prominent
farmer of Dup!in county, had an
exciting experience near Kinston
one day last week, He had mar
keted large lot of tobacco there
and was driving home with the
proceeds in his pocket, some dis
tance behind his wagons, when he
overlook a woman walking alone
and carrying a satchel. The wo-
man had been noticed on the ware-
house floor during the sales and
Mr.. Lanier remembered having
seen her there. She requested him
to let her ride with him a little
way down the read as she was
tired walking. Mir. Lanier gal
lantly consented to take her up
ard stopped his borse. But when
the woman went to step into the
buggy her skirt was raised some.
what and Mr.. Lanier saw a mans 8
leg with pants on it and a man's 6
foot with a boot on it. He sus-
pected something wrong and with
great presence of mind cut bis
horse sharply with the whip. The
animal FL lnged off and the bug
9y knocked down and ran over
the man with a frock on and left
h'm sprawling in the road. The
hand satehel of the fellow had
been left in the foot of the buggy,
however, and upon overtaking his
wagons and: being protected by q
company of neighbors, Mr.. Lanier
opened the satchel. 1t contained
about $40O in greenbacks. The
man with the frock has not called
for it and has not been seen OF
heard of since. His object was
doubtless highway robbery and
deserved what he got. Mr.. Laniel
performed the unusual feat oi
lifting a neat sum out of a high.

MAKE COMMON CAUSE.
Orange Free State Stands by the
TransvaaI.

Bloomfontein. Oct. 3.-The
proclamation of President Steyne,
of the Orange Free State, declares
in favor of most cordial co-opera-
tion "with our sister republic,
which is about to be attacked by
an unscrupulous enemy, who has
long looked for a pretext to ami
hilate the Afrikanders.' -
The proclamation then sketches
historically the wrongs done the
Transyaal. It says:
"Originally conventions have
been twisted and turned by Great
Britain into means of exercising
tyranny against the Transvaal,
which did not return the injustice
done in the past. No gratitude has
been shown for indulgence grant
ed British subjects, who, accord
ing to the law, have forfeited their
lives and property. The crafty
plans of those whose love of gold
is the motive are now being re-
allied. -
President Steyne goes on to
say that solemn obligations have
not protected the Transvaal
against the annexation conspiracy.
"When its independence ceases, !"
he says, "the existence of the
Orange Free State as an indepen-
dent State will be meaningless.
Experience of the past shows that
no reliance can be placed upon the
solemn promises Of Great Britain
when the administration now at
the helm is prepared to tread
treaties under foot. -
The proclamation concludes as
follows:
ssBurghers of the Free State:
stand up as one man against the
oppressor and violator of right. -
