John Smith, the old sail and awning
maker of Montpelier, left for Chelsea,
Mass, to spend the winter. Mr.. Smith
had considerable trouble to get his dog
to accompany him, and the train had to
wait few minutes until it could be cap
tured. A year or so ago it was troubled
badly with a sore eye where it came in
contact with "a fighting cat and Mr..
Smith decided to chlorOform it. He
placed it in sack, put enough chlOro-
form in the bag to kill five dogs, locked
the door and went out so that he would
not see his little friend suffer. He stay
ed away couple of hours. Finally,
after hiring man to go to his rooms to
bury the dog, he went back to make the
arrangements. His surprise can be
imagined when he opened the door and
found the dog jumping around to greet
him in great glee, licking his hand and
apparently overioyed to see him. He
decided on the spot never to make "a sec
ond attempt, and strange to say the sore
on the dog immediately got better.

THE FRANKLIN SYNDICATE.
Manager MiI1er's Place Rnided, but
lie Had Dlsappcnrcd.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--William f.
Miller, head of the Franklin syndicate,
which has accepted the deposits of thou
sands of persons in Brooklyn under
promise of paying dividends of 10 per
cent a week, or 500 per cent per annum,
and Cecil Leslie, his secretary, were in
dicted by the Kings county grand jury
yesterday afternoon.
Bench warrants were issued for the ar
rest of these two men, but up to quite a
late hour last night neither had been
found, the police saying that they had
disappeared in the afternoon.
Last night the police, under charge of
Captain Reynolds, chief of detectives in
the borough of Brooklyn; Inspector Bren-
nan and Police Captain Lee raided the
premises occupied by the Franklin syndi-
cate on Floyd street. There was a great
crowd of people around the building. and
the police surrounded it. Inspector Bren-
nan arrested Louis Miller, brother of the
head of the syndicate and the cashier of
the concern, and took possession of Sf5,-
600 in cash. There were 40 employees
engaged at work in the Offices, and these
were allowed to 90. 1t was stated by
Louis Miller to the police that the Offices
were then in the hands of cX-Sheriff
! Daily of Richmond, to whom, he said, the
concern had assigned.
The charge upon which Miller was in
dictcd was that of conspiring to defraud.
The district attorneys office in the bor-
| ough of Brooklyn has been at work on
the case for some weeks, so prominent
have become Miller's operations in that
town.
Miller has been engaged for the past
two years or so in offering his glittering
inducements to the people to invest their
money for him to make use Of, but it has
been only within the last month that by
extensive advertising in one way or an
other he has managed to attract to his
Office hundreds of people daily. who gath
cred in n long line or fought with each
other for the opportunity to hand out
their savings.
Even when the place was raidcd last
night by the police a number of those
around the Offices were waiting to de-
post money with the Franklin synd-
cate.

The old English cannon that was the
cause of so much jealousy between the
young men of st. Albans, st. Albans
Bay, Fairfax and Georgia, forty years
ago, has been unearthed, after being
buried thirty years, and will embellish
Taylor Park in the near future. This
cannon was used against the Continentals
in the Revolutionary and at later date
gave service in the Papineau rebellion.
So far as can be learned it was once the
property of Orlando Stevens, who years
ago was prominent member of the st.

Eighteen newsboys were to have been

passed. The new ordinance on gambling
failed TO make any reference To cases
pending under the old ordnance, and ma

STEAMER DODE SOLD.
Capt. d. Tr0utman's Craft Goes I'm
der the Murshal's Hammer.

The steamer Dode, which has been
brought into prominence through the dis
appearance of Capt ID. Troutman. her
builder and manager. was sold yesterday
morning by Deputy United States Mar
shall Tyler to w. T. Gaffner for s.. 900. Mr..
Gaffner had purchased practically all the
claims against the steamer, which
amounted 10 about $4,000 He is the own
er OF the steamer Mary r. Perley. and is
We'll known among shipping men.
The Dode was built by Capt. Troutman
to take the run on Hood canal.
Her hull was that of the schoon-
er w. ]. Bryant. 1t was generally
supposed that Capt. Troutman was doing
a big business. but about September the
Dode was taken off the run and the
steamer Pilgrim took her place. When the
Pilgrim went out on the Dode's run II
was supposed that Capt. Troutman was
looking up another run for the Dode, but
nothing has been heard from him per-
sonaliy since
The theory that Capt. Troutman disap-
peared while temporarily out of his mind,
or may have fallen into the bay while
in this condition, is entertained by Some
OF his friends. II is not generally known.
but IL Is true just the same. that Capt.
Troutman was subject to sudden attacks,
the nature OF which he did not probably
fully understand himself. They would
pass away after a time.
