TIE NEXT MOVE.
MaTER WORKS AND ELECTRIC
LIGHTS.
The Atlas Club Takes up these two
ProQoSitieas- sad will pssE1 them
to issue.

W ater works and electric lights
were the questions discussed at the
business meeting of the Atlas Club
on last Monday night, and it is safeN
to say these questions have never had
as thorough and enthusiastic turn
ing over. The gathering was fully
representative Of the taxpayers and
business men of the town and all
were of the same opinion--that
Montpelier should have both water
works and electric lights; that it is
practicable and possible to put in
both at an expense that it is but nom
inal compared to what other towns
have been obliged to expend for
them;and that a united and earnest
effort on behalf of all interested
will result IN the establishment Of.
these modern necessities.
Every one present showed live
interest in both the propositions,
and it was apparent that a move in
the .right. direction would receive
cordial and vigorous support. This
was particularly true of water works
and a lengthy discussion was had
on the benefits and advantages as
we'll as protection against fire that
water works would afford. Then it
was shown that with water works
established, much of the work nee
.essary I. the successful establish
ment of light plant would be done,
and this plant could be put in at
small expense. After two hours
debate the meeting adjourned until
next Monday night at 8 p. N. at the
rooms Of the Atlas Club. At this
meeting there will be present those
who have given these subjects par
tieular attention and have figured on
the costs of same and know their
probable source of revenue as well
as what obstacles are TO be overcome.
An earnest invitation is extended
toevery taxpayer and business man,
as we'll as all interested III these
matters to be present.

1l.--A divorce case Of quite sensa-
tional nature was died here to-day.

Robinson against Robert Robinson.
alias Jackson.
Several years ago Robinson came
here from Pennsylvania and secured
employment. Soon afterwards he
met number of young ladies aud be-
came, in the set in which he moved,
one OF the most popular OF all the
young men. He was favorite with
the ladies and after going with a
number of them for some time, mar
ried Miss Bush, OF the South Side.
They are now living and have been
living for some time on the South
Side.
To-day q negro woman appeared Ia
town and after consulting lawyer
tiled her suit for divorce against Rob-
inson, whom she says Is her husband
and is also a negro.
She alleges IN her bill that they
were married In Youngstown, Ohio,
in 1886, although they resided at Tn
iontowu, Pa. Several years after their
marriage, Robinson went to Morgan
town, w. Va, and secured work
there. He is very light in color for
negro and might easily pass for white,
even II he Is not white man.
At Morgantown she claims he court
ed a white girl, passing himself of as
a white man and brought suit for di-
yorce IN order that he might marry
her. The eolored waman says she
heard of It, went 10 Morgantown and
defended the case and the divorce was
not granted.
Robinson then came here aud began
his attentions TO white girls. The al
legged eolored wife says she does not
want to prosecute her husband for
bigamy but will be satisfied II she can
get divorce.

The Admiral's Wife's Plans

Admiral and Mrs. Dewey enjoyed the most humorous event of their married life when, on their first wedding anniversary, on the 9th, they dined en famille, while the public waited to celebrate the event with fitting pomp on November Il. The mis- take as to the date was made by some ab- sent minded Washington correspondent, who set the latter date that of the we'd ding day one year ago. The Admiral and Mrs. Dewey dined alone, and as the admir- al had been on a diet of broths and soups for some days, he enjoyed his dinner of canvasback duck and the customary ac- compartments. Intimate friends, while en- toying the joke, remembered the occasion with flowers and congratulatory messages
 Over the dinner, to which no guests were bidden, were related all the amusing little anecdotes that happened on the trip year ago.
 The admiral Is exceedingly proud of the home as it now is, that it no longer has distinctive earmarks of a mans domicile After December Mrs. Dewey intends hold ing a reception there every Saturday after noon, although all entertainments which she will give on larger scale will neces- sarily be given in the more commodious home of Mrs Dewey's mother, Mrs Wash ington Mclean.

PORTER CONFESSED.
Negro Boy Admits He Killed Louise
 Frost.

Denver, Col, November 15.-After with standing the pressure of the sweatbox at the city jail for four days, John Porter, the 16-year-old negro, who was arrested Sun- day, charged with the murder of Louise Frost, Il years of age, has broke down and confessed every detail of the hideous crime. The little girl was the daughter of a ranchman living four miles from Limon, and attended school in town, driV- ing back and forth. On Wednesday last, while on her way home, she was waylaid, assaulted and murdered, her body showing no less than fourteen knife wounds.
 On Saturday Preston Porter colored, and his two sons. Arthur and John, who had been working on the railroad near Limon, were arrested en route to their home Tn Lawrence, Kan, and John Porter was charged with the crime. Only circumstan- tial evidence was brought against him and he told a straight story, adhearing to 1t so tenaciousy as almost to convince the of- icers of his innocence Tonight, however, he weakened. The police department sent two men to Limon to verify some of his statements They wish to be ab- solutely sure of his guilt before giving him up, owing to strong belief that he will be lyncned on his arrlNai at Limon.
 Porters confession has been confirmed by the finding of the girls pocketbook near the Limon depot, where Porter admitted he threw it. A dozen citizens of Limon started for Denver today with the avowed purpose of acting as an escort for Sheriff Freeman and his prisoner on their Journey to the jail at Hugo. Five hundred deter mined men, most of them ranchmen, have assembled at Limon and Hugo, and they make no secret of their intention to lynch Porter.
 District Attorney McAllister refused this morning to issue an order for the removal of John Porter
