seven for the second degree and eight or
ten ballots were taken before the final re-

A PINKERTON DETECTIVE
Unearths a Scheme for Defrauding
Boston Brewing Company.

For some time past the Mccormick Brew
ing Company Of Boston, of which John K.
Fairbanks Is manager, has, like other con-
Germs OF the kind, suffered large losses each
year from the non-return OF empty bottles,
and from this section in particular. While
the expense of one bottle is small, yet the
loss OF them by Wholesale means q large
figure on the loss side OF the ledger and Mr..
Fairbanks thinks his concerns loss in this
way would average some $1,000 per year.
Recently he gained information which led
him to believe that in this vicinity there
was an organized scheme to illegally con-
vert these empties for the use OF other con-
Germs by gang which maize systematic
business OF gathering bottles in wherever
they could be found.
In consequence he employed one OF the
shrewdest men In the employ of the Pink
erton detective bureau, John r. May, and
sent him to Vermont TO ferret ont this deal.
On Saturday last, Detective May had got
the case where he was ready to act and no.
titled Mr.. Fairbanks, who came at once to
this city. On Sunday arrangements were
made with Grand Juror Scott OF Barre to
close in on the quarry. Mr.. Fairbanks and
Constable Buchanan went to Burlington
from here on the 250 train Monday morn
ing and returned at noon with Philip Ros-
enberg, who will be remembered here as
being formerly an itinerant vender Of
matches, under arrest. The detective had
BOtIcu III viii Inc hOStn DbTR family ab DUR
hngton and soon got on the inside OF the
game which was being worked.
At the preliminary hearing held before
Justice A. G. Fay in Barre Tue sday several
witnesses were examined and by them it
was shown that boys were employed In
Barre and this city to obtain all the beer
bottles they could lay hands on and were
paid by Rosenberg from six to nine cents
per dozen. Some thirty-five or more bar
rels containing ten dozen bottles each, were
accounted for OF which the Fowler Bottling
Company OF Burlington acknowledges hav-
ing bought twenty-nine barrels Of young
Rosenberg 1t is thought $1,000 worth OF
the Mccormick bottles have been shipped
TO the Italians employed in constructing
the railroad in Grand Isle. The case has
been continued until next Friday at the
same place. Rosenburg's bail was fixed
at $500 for which NJ G. Rosenberg of Bur-
lington, his brother, and Nj. s. Levin Of
Barre became surety. Rosenberg has re-
tanned H. d. Ockington OF Barre as counsel.
The serious part of this case is that the
bottles stolen were registered bottles, thus
making any other user OF them outside the
firm whose name appeared upon them
liable 20 prosecution by the United States
government.

POLITICAL FEALTY,

Editor of Daily Journdl:- Organs in tn Q
pay OF political rings often assert that
man who attends caucus of his party, is
bound by the action OF that caucus and
must vote for the candidate chosen, or be
read out of the party.
The Vermont voter is a citizen of the
State, to which he owes duties paramount to
those due any political party, society or in
dividual. He has sworn by his freeman's
oath to vote as in his conscience he judges
to be for the best good of the State, and
without fear or favor of any man.
Nobody of ordinary intelligence, with any
claim TO manhood, Independence or honor,
can feel under the slightest obligation to
vote for candidates forced upon a caucus by
political boss claiming TO carry the vote
OF his town in his breeches pocket, who has
packed the caucus with his servants of
varions political affiliations but as mani
testify under his rule as il they wore his
dog collar, servilely voting solid any ticket
which he and the newspaper editors under
his pay have made out and printed before
the meeting OF the caucus.
II such a packed caucus nominates for the
Legislature a notorious adulterer, gambler
sharper and corruptOr OF youth, can any
conscientious man vote for him, or for one
of his henchmen, whose ballot is always
ready TO be given as his master may die
tate, even If his election ia supposed TO be
in the interest OF some candidate for a
higher office Of the same party2

A HAPPY EVENT.

On Saturday afternoon some 300 granite
polishers and their employers of Barre,
Montpelier and vicinity made their way by
steam and electric cars to Caledonia Park
in response to an invitation extended to
them by the r. Q. Bowers Granite Com
pany of this city to attend genuine Rhode
Island clam bake.
This was the fifth which has been given
successively each summer at the same place
by this company and 1t proved to be supe-
rior to any OF the previous events. The day
was perfect as were all the auxiliaries, such
as the humor OF those preseut, the dinner
and the sports.
K. g. Bowers, the genial manager OF the
company, had previously established for
himself reputation as an entertainer, but
on this occasion he eclipsed his former Of.
forts in this line.
He was ably seconded by Prof. Wilson
of Providence. K. l., the veteran clam
baker, and +. L. Huntington of this city as
chefs and by corps OF efficient walters and
mattresses. The dinner was served in a
large tent in which covers were laid for the
entire party. and the service, even under
the disadvantages naturally arising in Civ
ing an outdoor dinner, was equal to that Of
the best hotels.
A regular shore dinner was served, COM
prisng claIu chowder, baked CLANS and
Holsters with the necessary condiments,
and it was of such excellence that one

to regular fare. A shore dinner, when IL is
the genuine article, is one of the good
things Of life much to be desired and il diff.
ficult to get up in mountainous region like
Vermont; but, as several present remarked
who were judges, it was 80 like the real
thing that one could almost hear the waves
washing the shore and smell the salt
breezes.
After an hour passed most pleasantly in
partaking OF the viands served and the ex-
change OF interesting anecdotes the COM
pany adjourned to the open and as they
passed out OF the tent those who were low
ers OF the weed were presented with a corn
cob pipe and snag Of aromatic tobacco.
A large number engaged in outdoor sports,
such as the foot race, potato race and the
like, while others gathered beneath the
trees in groups and, lighting their pipes,
gave themselves up to the delights OF good
comradeship and social intercourse. Chief
among the entertainers in the last named
amusement was Eugene Sullivan, the
manufacturing sculptor, who most roy
ally entertained large party by reciting
quaint Irish lore and singing old bal
lads he had learned in his youth beside the
fireplace Of his home in the Emerald Isle.
80 effective was his delineation and rich
brogue that he was obliged to respond again
and again 10 the vociferous glad hands
which were appreciatvely given him.
The party broke up late in the afternoon
taking the cars about seven o'clock for their
respective homes. One and all were unan-
imous In declaring that "Riley" had given
them day OF enjoyment which would re-
main with them in after years as deligh-
ful event they would love to recall.
