MRS. POLLY SCRIBNER.

Mrs. Polly Scribner, whose death on Sat-
urdsy afternoon was briefly noticed in the
JOURNAL, was the daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs
Robert Dodge. She was born in Plainfield
May 3, 1879 but at the age of two years re-
moved to Calais with her parents where she
lived until her marriage with the late Eben
Scribner OF Montpelier in 1841.
Mrs. Scribner had resided here since her
marriage and for about fifty years has oc-
cupied the house in which she died, at 174
Main street. Duri this time she con-
Quoted millinery business at her house,
visiting the Boston and New York markets
regularly each year up to 1900, when she
retired from active business. She was be-
lieved to be the oldest milliner in point OF
years and active service in the United
States. Aside from these business trips she
was traveller in her own country. Ever
since she reached mature years she had
made extended trips north, east, south and
west, and In these tours she was unaccom-
panied and unaided.
She was the second wife OF Eben Serb
ner by whom she had two sons, Henry, dy-
ing when about three years Of age, and
George M, OF this city, surviving. A sister,
Mrs. Lydia Kinsman of Buffalo, N. Y, also
survives her, but is too feeble to attend the
funeral.
Ten weeks ago Mrs. Scribner suffered
from heart trouble while on the walk in
front OF her residence and for many days 1t
was feared, from day to day, that she
would not survive. She was, however,
possessed with an unusually strong will
which, combined with rugged constitu-
tioD. fought off the end. She had been
confined TO her bed only two weeks when
the end came and 1t was simply the resul B
Of wearing out of the resources of life,
with the odds of battle against her by rea
son OF her advanced age.
Mrs. Scribner was q unique character in
local history. Possessed OF sterling quail
tiles and exceptional business abilities, she
succeeded in her ventures and made wide
circle OF friends who deplore her departure.
For over half a century she had been a
member OF Bethany church, aud in her un-
ostentatious way performed a large amount
OF charitable work. The fact thai some of
her charity fell like seed upon stony ground
and bore no fruit did not embitter her nor
deter her from continuing in the work.
Funeral services were held from the
house at one o'clock Mond " afternoon, Rev.
Norman Seaver officiating. The bearers
were the same az those who acted In the
same capacity for her late husbaud-her
son, George NJ, grandson, George E., and
stepson, j. G. Scribner OF this city, and w.

CURIOUS CYCLING.
Strangest Roadway Ever Trayersed
by Bicycle Rider.

Fancy riding on bicycle along a ladder
while it Is lying on the ground. How many
cy clists are there in this town who could
do 1t and not be Jared and thrown out OF
the saddle. Then fancy, II you cau, riding
on bicycle down a ladder that is set up to
pitch of fifty degreesl That is just what is
done by Starr, the shooting STAR" with the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Goth
Century Colossus. OF all the breskneck
acts that have ever been performed in
circus 1t would seem that this must certain
ly be the greatest, but 1t is not. In the
same shows Is a man namel Minting who
does an even more hazardous thing. He
rides on only one wheel of bicycle with
out any support save his feet on the pedals.
Now this is difficult enough thing to do
on level floor and there are but few trick
riders who can do It, But MintinR rides in
this fashion both up and down long spiral
track that begins at the ground and ends In
the top OF the great tent that covers the
vast arena. To make 1t all the more fright
full the track OF this spiral is only fourteen
inches wide and it has no railing nor any
thing else to prevent the wheel from going
off the side This is certainly the limit OF
dangerous performances, and yet such is
the strength, skill and nerve of Minting
that he does IL at every afternoon and even.
ing performance and has never yet met
with an accident. These great shows will
be here on Friday, July 8.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT.

The State rested at ten O'Clock Friday
In the case OF State against Donovan
with the privilege of using one more wit
ness later in the trial. When court adj
ting In evidence.
Court took recess at noon until two
O'Clock Monday afternoon. The jury will
except together meanwh lie.
Rumors in and around the court room
would indicate the possibility of some
what sensational ending on Monday, OF the
case now on trial,
When court convened Monday afternoon
States Attorney Hoar moved for o verdict
for the State in the case in State against
Donovan, forgery. Mr.. Parsons Of War
rem, who gave the note that figures largely
In this case, had testified last week that the
note had been charged since it first came
into court at this trial
Juror Deavltt of Moretown was called to
the stand by the State this afternoon. He
testified that he saw T. K. Gordon exam
lining paper at the window last week, and
rubbing it with his thumb and finger as
though he was attempting to erase some-
thing, that he then returned the paper to
J. w. Gordon, who handed it to the Jury.
Mr.. Deavitt thought it was the note in gues-
tion. MIR. Hutchins, another juror COR
roborated the story told by Mr.. Deavitt.
Neither OF these jurors are on the case now
on trial, and they were not allowed to hear
each other testify.
After this episode the trial of the case was
resumed. The defence is still putting in
evidence.
Sheriff Graves quartette of drunks which
he captured on Nicolas hill few days ago,
was broughtint court Monday afternoon to
plead Jim Burke had already pleaded
guilty to intoxication. Dick Cilley, Martin
Norton and Jim Henderson also pleaded
guilty to the same charge. Cilley was then
srraigned on the charge of impeding an
officer. Before he could plead, II. G. Shurt-
let, his attorney, filed demurrer to the in
formation against him. Mr.. Shurtleff
claimed in his demurrer that the informa-
ton was faulty in that three seperate
charges were made against the respondent
In one count and that he was arrested by
the officer without warrant. Sentence
was deferred in all the cases.
Judge Watson on Tuesday sustained the
demurrer in the case Of State against Dick
Cilley, filed on Monday by II. q. Shurtleff,
counsel for the respondent. The informa-
tion is adjudged insufficient and the State
has leave TO amend.
j. +. Donovan, the respondent in the cas- q
now on trial, was on tho stand all the fore
noon. The details of the transaction with
Parsons at Warren were told at great lenpl h
and every possible feature favorable to
Donovan was brought ont by j. W, Cor
don, who examined him. The cross exam
ination by States Attorney Hoar was very
searching.
The cross examination Of Mr.. Donovan
was not concluded at noon The defence
has considerable evidence from other par
ties to put in, and the case will probably
not be concluded before Thursday.
