DORSEY BACK.
Rejected man reaches Morgant0wn-
Examination is very strict.

Arthur Dorsey is here having been
rejected by the enlisting officers in
Pittsburg. He went there to enter
the band of the Thirtieth regiment
being raised for service in the Philip
pines. The examination was very
strict and the applicant was knocked
First Regiment and had made good
record there.
One Of the papers stated that Mes
trezat had been rejected but nothing
definite was given about this. 1t is
probably untrue as he wrote this pa
per since he reached Pittsburg and
told of the progress that he was max
ing in enlisting his men.

ened Divorce Case.

Miss Florence Campbell daughter
of Judge Campbell, of Wheeling, who
charged that Mrs. George Rathorn
tried to kill her by sending her poison
ed cherries has made a confession
wherein she admits the story was a
plot OF her own.
She expected to be made the core
spondent in divorce suit which Mrs.
Rathorn threatened to bring. To
prevent the disgrace, if possible, and
to protect her family name she says
she sent herself the poisoned fruit

would strike. Since the bore hole was
put down II has had flow Of pure

ton Saturday afternoon, by Deputy Sheriff
Wedge, setting up that Mr.. Weston was

to the best advantage OF the city, without
being directly or indirectly interested in
any such contract or purchase, or interested
in any other way directly or indirectly in
such purchases or contract; but that Wes-
ton bought OF certain firms liquors amount

| rebates and commissions on the sales o
these liquors to the amount Of $500 to th

Barre Water Works.

G. W. Wing, as attorney for the Spring
and Fountain Water Company OF Barre,
on Saturday presented petition to Judge
Thompson, who was in the city, praying
that temporary injunction might be issued
against the city Of Barre restraining it from
in any way or manner interfering with
the orator in the extension of its water sys-
tenn in the streets OF Barre or making con
nections with the dwellings thereof, and
that upon hearing in the matter before
the next term OF the county court OF chan
Gerry this temporary injunction may be
made perpetual.
The bill sets up as reasons why the in
junction should be issued that at the Sep.
tember term Of the county court in chan
Gerry, 1898, the city of Barre brought bill
in chancery against the Spring and Foun-
tain Water Company. and obtained an in
junction restraining that company from
making any extension Of its water system
along, through or under any Of the streets
OF Barre, that this Injunction was dissolved
at the March term OF county court, 1899;
that after the dissolution of the injunction,
the officers of the city of Barre by threaten
ings OF police inference still prevented the
water company from making any extern
sions OF its system in the city, that 1t is the
intent and purpose of the city of Barre to
prevent competition end to take the property
of the water company without making any
just compensation therefor.
Mayor j. W. Gordon appeared for the
city OF Barre at the hearing on the bill
which was held this afternoon in the Office
of e. w. Wing. Judge Thompson re-
served his decision.

loved wife who is critically ill at her fathers
home in Worcester, Mass. / therefore ten
der to you my resignation as pastor Of this

The fire wardens are negotiating with o.
O. Clogston for the lease of the old skating
rink building for quarters for the hook and
ladder company. The location is consider
ed desirable, a livery being directly be-
meath. The addition Of the light truck,
now being built, to the present apparatus
will require extra room and the building
has accommodations for the meetings of the
company. 1t s said that Mr.. Clogston will
probably grant the release providing he
himself can find suitable quarters. In that
case the project to put the Volunteers and
Hooks together will be abandoned, the
former company remaining in its present
quarters.

pearance OF the man on the Olympia.
Among the photographs IL one of the RUNS

John Z. Hubbard.

John e. Hubbard died shortly before
eight o'clock on Monday, after an illness
OF -everal months with cancer OF tho liver.
His age was fifty years. In the opinion OF
his physicians a fall from bicycle last year
was the primary cause OF the disease that

troll OF the extensive real estate and busi-
his father. Mr.. Hubbard also perfected
system for supplying pure spring water to a
large number of families in the eastern part
OF the city. This business was started
eighty years ago by Roger Hubbard, but
was developed by the deceased, who gave
to it much Of his time and personal atten-
tion.
Since the Kellogg Hubbard Library was
built Mr.. Hubbard has been one of the
trustees OF that institution. The interest he
took in the construction OF the building and
in its maintenance and support since it was
ready for occupancy is known to every per-
son in Montpelier
1t is currently reported that Mr.. Hubbard
has provided literally for this institution
that bears his name, and that he also has
left an endowment fund for Heaton Hos
pital.
He Is survived by his aged mother, to
whom all hearts go out in sympathy in her
aff1iction and loneliness. His funeral will
be held Wednesday afternoon at two
o'clock from his late home, Rev. j. Edward
Wright officiating. The burial will be in
