sHARKEY WINS.
Mccoy Knocked out I'm the Tenth
Round,


NEW YORK, Jan. 10: Tom Sharkey, the
American sailor, stands tonight the only
heavyweight possibility for championship
honors and the title now held BY Bob Fitz-
simmons.
He whipped Kid Mccoy good and hard
in the tenth round OF what was 10 have
been q twenty-round battle, and by doing
so the Irish-Americsn pugilist forced his
way so positively and ~undenisbly 70 the
from, rsnk that Fitzsimmons must now
consider the sailor pugilist's claim without
delay.
Sharkey tonight was Q revelation TO
those who saw him 9 couple Of years ago.
His ring work and generalship are so vast
ly superior 10 his exhibitions when he first
came TO the East ss q fighter that the i'm
provement Is almost incredible. Mccoy
used every srtihcs known 10 the advanced
school of pugilism In his contest tonight.
and his defeat must not be attributed 10
any lack Of close study on his part OF every
trick in the boxing game.
When Mccoy sent Sharkey twice to the
noor in the third round no one doubted
The Kids ability 70 Hit hard. and many
thought he had ShArkey at his mercy.
This idea was soon dispelled when the
Irishman began TO get to his man.
The attendance was between seven and
eight thousand.

mons declares he will fight Shsrkey any
time after three weeks from tonight. pro-
viding the latter will put up q side bet Of

A Cuban newspaper charges that Zsc-
arias Bresmes, q Spanish Judge al pres
emit said to be in hiding in Spain, was
the chief conspirator in the blowing up
OF the Maine, and that his associates
were Felipe Gonzales Dion, Sio Vega and
Susebio Azcue. The charges should be
sifted thoroughly, and if they can be sus.
tanned, then the United States should
demand their trial, and il convicted their
punishment on pain Of another war with
Spain. Spain made the mistake Of her

Sheep Raising in Vermont.

M. P. Barry, well known wool and
sheep pelt buyer from Saxtons River, wa:
at The Bardwell Friday night. He has
been buying wool and pelts in Vermont fol
the past % years and says that each year
it has become more difficult to find these
products among Vermont farmers. The
business OF sheep raising has rapidly dimin-
ished in this state, he says, because far.
mers say they cannot compete with the
large western and foreign sheep-raisers.
A few years ago, Mr.. Barry states flocks
of 1000 sheep were as common among Yer.
mont farmers as focks of 100 are to-day
This loss of what was once principal in.
dustry can only be deplored, but it seem,
inevitable. Many of the sheep pelts bis
firm buys now are shipped in from the west
to be pulled and picked at bis works.
Nevertheless, there are some good sized
focksNof sheep in Vermont to day, and
some thrifty farmers seem to be making
money at sheep raising despite the seeming
ly ruinous competition of cheaper western
sheep. Some of these farmers are in Rut
land county. Rutland News.

Was It a Sea Serpent?

This sensationl item appeared in Brat
tleboro contemporary last week. can
immense fish in the river Wednesday after
noon caused quite bit of excitement a.
mong the local sports, some of which took
boat and went out in the hopes of captur-
ing it but were disappointed in the result
as the fish evidently had business further up
the river and eluded its followers" We
overlook the slight to '.the local SPORTS,
by classifying them as neuter gender, and
claim for Bellows Falls the honor OF a Wis.,
1t from sea serpent, the first town in Yer
mont to be thus distinguished. This
monstrous serpent evidently came meander-
ing along the Sound and headed into the
Connecticut river, thinking it was New
York harbor. Once within the narrow
confines of the river, it was impossible to
turn around, and so the monster is still
working his way to the northward. 1t
seems probable that the serpent will not
get tar above White River Junction when
it will require the entire output of the river
to supply it with drink during the hot
months of summer. This will seriously in
terfere with steamship navigation between
Bellows Falls and New Haven.

Louis Castor Arraigned.

The surrender of Louis Castor, the wife
murderer, late Thursday evening was
surprise to Keene people. The man
gave himself up voluntarily after short
interview with Rev. A. H. Wheeler, rector
OF St. James Episcopal church, who had
made an appointment to meet him. The
meeting was on the Gilsum road few
minutes walk from the jail. The murderer
was much emaciated and appeared very
penitent. He said he did not know how
he came to commit the crime and would
now give anything in the world Il OF to have
done it. He also expressed willingness
to suffer just punishment for his crime.
He claims to have come Thursday from the
town of Stoddard. Castor was arraigned
before Judge Holmes Friday evening at
the county jail in the presence of Mayor
Eames and few others. A plea of not
guilty" was entered, and request for
few days continuance, in order that the
prisoners counsel might better determine
the ACCESSIBILITY of claiming preliminary
hearing, was granted. Castor entered the
jail lobby with a startled, hunted air, but
soon became somewhat treasured. He
greatly feared lynching when he surren-
dered Thursday evening.
Castor shot and killed his wife at her
breakfast table the morning of May 81 and
escaped to the woods. The murder was
most deliberate. The couple had had
many family quarrels and had separated
tor the fifth time ten days before, Mrs.
Castor going to live on Armory street with
her two grown sons, Charles and John,
and two young daughters. Mrs. Sarah
Trenholm and her young son lived with
them. The sons left the house about 7
o'clock for their work at Fowler's box fac
tory, and at 7.45 the rest of the family,
excepting the baby, which was asleep up
stairs, were still at the breakfast table,
when the husband appeared and began
urging his wife to return to live with him.
She refused positively. He then asked to
see the baby, and she started to accom-
pany him upstairs, but changed her mind
and resumed her seat at or near the table,
Castor returned and took seat some ten
feet away, rallying his wife on her fear to
accompany him upstairs. Almost immedi-
ately he drew revolver, and fired at his
wife, the bullet taking effect behind her
right ear and SCATTERING her jaw. She ran
for the parlor, and in the entry-way the
husband fred again, the shot taking effect
on the woman's left breast. A third shot
fred in the parlor took effect in the left
side at the lower edge of the scapula.
None of the bullets passed through the
body. The victim gave one scream after
the second shot and died almost immedi-
ately after the third, falling face downward
in the parlor. The murderer ran across
the fields with his revolver to bis own
house, where his daughter, Ada, who was
keeping house for him, was just preparing
breakfast. He changed his coat and hur-
riedly threw packet at his daughters feet,
telling her it was his will, and then ran for
the woods.

Exit FltZ.

Mr.. Fitzsimmons takes his place in the
galaxy with Castor and Pollux and their
most recent associates, Me,srs. Sullivan
and Corbett.
MIR. Fitz must have been immensely sur
prised when be found himself badly
whipped by Mr.. Jeffries, and the general
public was still more so, perhaps.
The affair was simply picnic for JEFF
fries, which is very surprising indeed. He
led almost from the start, and the gentle
man from Australia had no chance what
ever. Whereas the great American public
had fondly held the opinion that Fitzsim-
mons could click" any man on earth.
Thus are our cherished beliefs rudeIy shat
tered. Thus pass away the glories OF this
world.
The Jeffries family has been in eclipse
for a couple ofhundred years, when the star
of the famous Lord Chancellor went down.
Now, after long observation, it once more
assumes a leading position in the world.
All hail, King of the Bruisersi Burlington

Boston Milk.

We present this week the May state
ment Of milk received in Boston by the
large combination of wholesale dealers,
showing the amount in 1-2 quart cans.
The receipts are record breaker, be-
ing not only the largest of any May on re-
cord, but also the largest ever known in
in any one month in the history of the
trade in the city. The nearest approach
to this was last June, when the receipts
we're ], 142, 900 cans. For the month OF
May, 1899, the receipts were $4,000 a.
head of the largest known in any month
previously.
The butter value of milk has been great
er during the last month than during any
May since 1895. The butter value OF
milk in May, 1895, was IA cents then it
dropped to II cents in May, 1896 and
1897, advancing in May 1898, to II Is
cents, and to 11.90 cents in May of this
year.
The figures are as follows:

Henry Gould Takes $2O9.77 in
Checks-An Unfortunate Occur
renee.
Bellows Falls was considerably agitated
Monday when it became known that the
Bellows Falls postoffice bad been robbed
OF certain letters containing checks, and
the widest stories were ahoat, one report
being that $500 in cash bad been taken.
The facts so far as we have been able to
learn are these. Henry Gould assists his
father, Ed Gould, in carrying mails to and
from trains. He, in common with his
father and the stage drivers, ha, always
had considerable liberty in the rear of the
po,toffice room. The first suspicion of
any crookedness on Gould's part was
aroused about the middle of May. He
stood by the little table used for stamping
letters and watched G.. E. Davis, head
clerk, at work for some time. When Davis
back was turned to distribute handful Of
letters, it was noticed that Gould made fol
the water-closet. The same thing wa.
repeated May %, and after he had left the
office that day the closet was examined
and letter found in the bowl addressed
to Miss Susie Roundy from her father
M. G. Roundy, and calling for an enclo
sure, but no enclosure could be found
Gould was taken one side and sharply
questioned and confessed that he haG
taken the letter from the table, opened i
in the closet and removed the check. HI
also confessed that week previously b,
had opened another letter, also in tn,
closet. This letter was from G. F
Simonds of Saxtons River and was ad
dressed to the Keene National bank. |
contained five checks for deposit, aggregat
ing S204.77. One check called for $50 il
the writing and $S5 in the figures. If tn
check was made for $S5, then the tota
was $209.77. Gould made clean con
fession and the matter was kept quiet 70
a week or more.
U. S. Marshal F. A. Field of Rutlan
and Deputy Luke Parish of Randolp
appeared on the scene Monday forenoo
and placed Gould under arrest. A cor
fession was written out and Gould signe
it. He was taken to St. Johnsbury on th
noon train to appear before W. P. Sta
ford, United States commissioner, and wa
accompanied by George A. Weston, hi
attorney. Hts
| 1t is an unfortunate occurrence for a

and this is his hrst criminal ofense. HI

years and has always given excellent ser,
