A DYNAMlTER IN VERMONT.
Threatens to Blow up the House of a Tenn.
perance Preacher in Stamford

Bennington Aug. H.--Stamford, one of
the smallest towns in Vermont and loca-
ted in the southwest part of Bennington
County, has never been noted for its re-
gard for the prohibitory law, although To-
Gated in "A prohibition state. Last Febru-
airy, an antisaloon league was formed the
pastors of the Methodist and Baptist
churches being the principal movers in
the matter. Rev. Hastings of the Baptist
church was chosen president, Rev. Winans
of the Methodist church, treasurer and
secretary. The membership is not very
large. Since the league was organized
union services have been held the last
Sunday in each month the pastors alter
mating in preaching rousing temperance
sermons. Matters were quiet for some
time but of late troubles have arisen. The
parsons had petty annoyances. The gar
den of Rev. Hastings was destroyed one
night. and other efforts have been made
to get them to drop the league business
The elimination came one day last week
when Rev. Hastings going into his hail
found a note that had been showed under
the front door. It is his turn to preach
the regular temperance sermon the last
Sunday in this month, and the note was
to inform him that If he did his house.
his family and himself would be blown
up by dynamite The writer of the letter
is not known as yet, but Parson Hastings
announced from his pulpit Sunday that he
should preach the sermon and also give
some facts, that community that would
permit such operations to be carried ON as
that one had of late. ought to know. There
is no doubt but that his church will be
well filled on that evening but there arc
great doubts about his being blown up by
dynamite.

Sheldon Junction Satur-
day Night.
A HORSE TRACKED HOME
which Was Seen Hitchod on tho Ground
Late at Night-Machinery Hall and the
Rebuilt at Onoe-Woman Killed
by Lightning at swanion.

Sheldon, VT, Aug. 13-The machinery
hall and the large hennery on the far
grounds at Sheldon Junction burned Sun
day morning at a. m. The loss Is 500
and there Is small insurance. In machin-
cry hall was stored a merry-Eo- round
owned by William BULGE of Franklin val
ued at $1,000. This was covered by insur-
ance.
The origin of the fire was incendiary, as
shown by the building burning at that
time of night. A team was seen to drive
into the grounds at ll:OO o'clock. The
horse was hitched near the building and
had on a peculiar shoe different from 9TH
or shoes on this track. 1t was followed
home by G. A. Oliver A. A. Marvin and
II. L. Marsh. The shoes were examined
and they corresponded with the prints
made on the fair grounds.

fair If the society can have 1t completed
before August 30-3l and September /, the
dates of the fair.

verware taken Prof. and Mrs. Johnson
were sleeping in the upper part of the
house and did not awaken until morn
ing when the first indications OF any
thing being wrong was the discovery of
several burned matches on the carpet of
the sitting room. 1t was then noticed that
the cellar and outside doors were swung
wide open. Whether the work was done
by local talent or travellers is not known
man hurriedly entered the Central
Vermont station Monday morning shortly
before the arrival of the morning express
and wanted to buy ticket Of Daniel Nc
Carly, the night switchman and baggage
man. Mr.. McCarty informed him that no
tickets were sold at night and he left the
station and was not seen to board tho
train. The mans actions appeared pecul-
lar to Mr.. McCarty and when he learned
of the burglary the following morning he
naturally associated the two events in his
mind. others incline to the belief that
the deed was committed by persons resi-
dent in the community, who were ac-
quainted with the state of affairs and con-
dtion of the house. Prof. Johnson and
family will keep no more valuables in the
house.
Burned matches and an empty refrir-
orator together with other indications of
disturbed affairs led F. a. Jones and wife
to conclude that somebody visited their
house the same night and upon learning
of the other burglary they concluded that
such was the case.
The place has been the scene Of petty
rooperles for some few years past and
as yet no one has been npprehonded.
Within the past few weeks an effort was
made to break into the house OF J. A.
Cross but the large dog owned by the
family made such a howl that the intrud-
ers fed precipitately. Some three weeks
since the barn of S. II. Kent was entered
ana grain bags laid from the stable or
stan to the outer door. Neighbors were
awakened by the noise made bv the horse
and the robbers gave up the job. In tho
morning Mr.. Kent found his stable door
oSen and the grain bags all neatly laid
out on the floor.

KINDLING WOOD FACTORY BURNED.

Swanton, Aug. 15.-The kinding wood
factory, owned by II. c. Batchelder & Co.,
OF Albany, n. Y, took fire In the drying
tower this afternoon about 2:30 p. M, and
owing to the great infammabiity of the
structure and its contents, the fire had
made such Roadway before the fire COM
panies arrived, and got their streams on
that nothing could save it. Nearly half
a mile of hose had to be laid and then
two good streams were thrown from the
same.
little of the machinery, and a good
deal of wood was saved. The railroad wa
ter tank used by the Central Vermont and
the Boston d Maine railroads, which was
very near the kndling wood factory was
also saved Nearly all the houses in the
vicinity were kept wet down on their
roofs, by the use of their own private
hose.
The loss will fall heavily on r. G. Batch
elder & Co., as it is not believed they had
any insurance. A splendid industry Is
crippled at least for the present, but it
is hoped they will rebuild.
