OSTEOPATHS TO ORGANIZE.

The Osteopathic medical practitioners in
Vermont are soon to form State associa-
ton similar to the now existing medical
association in the State.
IL was but a few years since when there
were but three or four OF this school prac-
ticlng in the State. Later big fight was
made in the Legislature to settle the dis.
puted question of whether Osteopathists
could legally practice in Vermont without
coming before the State medical board and
passing an examin alton. The result was
victory for the osteopaths.
There are at the present time IL este.
opaths in practice In the State, two OF
whom reside in Montpelier.

and thereby be In contempt OF court It has
waited until that body reported before CIV
ing the facts to the public.
The JOURNAL Of Wednesday intimated
that foul play was suspected in the death of
Major JOHNSON and that the suspected party
was under police surveillance. Frank Mil.
Ter, against whom the terrible charge is
brought, has been in Jail since Tuesday
noon, when he was arrested on a charge OF
OF a breach OF the peace for the purpose OF
holding him until the grand jury reported
IL appears that at the March term of
Washington county court Major Johnson
testifi d against Miller in rum case. Mil
Ter, it is said, at that time threatened TO ''do
johnson up" and from that time until the
time Of the night OF his death johnson kept
out Of Miler's way. On Saturday, June 9,
the Wallace Brothers circus exhibited in
Montpelier. johnson drew about $50 from
his employers and did not work that day.
When his body was found less than So was
in his pockets.
Evidence has has been procured tending
to show that about ten O'Clock on the night
of the murder johnson was sitting between
two railroad tracks in the Central Vermont
| yard, some forty feet from the wall from
| which he was supposed to have fallen.
| Miller, who was near the Wells River de-
| pot at that time, learned through lad
named Johnnie Murray where he could
| find johnson. He paid the lad FIVE cents
| for the information and started down the
/
| A wa Gilman at the upper end Of the bridge
attempted to prevent him from going
through. Miller promptly Knocked the
man down, and 1t is supposed soon found
| his victim No one 80 far as known, saw
| the fatal blow or blows struck, but the sup
| position is that the wound on the back Of
the head knocked johnson insensibe and
| that his body was hen dragged forty feet
or more and pitched over the wall, thirty
feet to the river below. The condition Of
| Johnson's clothing when the body was
found thirty-six hours later, bears out this
| theory.
Miller admits that he was with Johnson
| the night Of June 9, but Of course denies
| that any violence was used
Miller will BE- arraigned at once and given
a chance to plead. The case is n OF bailabe
II it can be reached it will probably be tried
at the present term of Washington county
court.
To States Attorney Hoar more than to
any one man Is due the credit Of bringing
this crime to light. Shortly after Johnson's
death was not due to an accident, and ever
since that time he has been working on the
case, following many wrong clues, until at
last he struck the right trail. Nearly two
weeks OF the time OF the and jury has
been put in on this case and large num-
Der OF witnesses have been examined.
Miller has a widowed mother and young
brother living in Mortified.
Immediately after the grand jury reported
Thursday noon a mttimus was issued by
| States Attorney Hoar, and Miller WAS form
the matter very cody and was evidently
expecting such proceeding. He refused to
say any thing in regard to the affair until
| after he had engaged counsel.

The Boston and Maine railroad has decid-
ed TO adopt the idea OF building and operat-
ing trolley lines ia connection with that sys.
tenn. President futile says that such lines
will b. conducted and operated wherever
they will serve as feeders and produce a
fair return for the investment. This GER
tainly appears like brilliant idea Ii some
Vermont railroad companies had adopted
this same idea some time ago, it would have
saved tn M much shekels and agony of spir-
it. Look at the Montpelier and Barre line
and that from Essex junction to Burlington,
and see what the railroads have lost that
they might have saved.
