MAY AVERT BASEBALL WAR.
Magnates to Receive Players at the
Meeting To-day.

New York, Feb. 2+-The annual schedule
meeting of the National League will COM
mence tomorrow at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel. The principal matter to be considered
will be the subject of the recognition OF the
PLAYERS by the megnates, which, II IL
thought, may avert all danger Of q war.
AT the last meeting Of the League the play
ers were refused a hearing. The schedule
will probably be adopted on Wednesday.
Another interesting feature OF the meet
ing will be the possibility OF numerous
deals being consummated. The New York
team will probably see many new faces.
President Charles thinner OF the Protect
i've Association arrived in town tonight.
and at the earliest possible moment will
present the players claims to the magnates.
thinner says he has received a formal in
yitation to appear before the League. and
has accepted 1t on behalf Of the players
organization.
President Young has prepared the play
ing schedule for the coming season. but IL is
doubtful whether the document will be giv-
en- to the public until the American League
question has been thoroughly gone over
hy the YnagnateS.

DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED

The case OF Private Peter j. Devine,
Troop II, Eleventh cavalry, who was tried
by general oonrt martial at Fort Ethan
Allen, on the charge of "using disrespect
full words against the President of the
United States in violation OF the 10Th arti.
Gle OF war;" has just been reported to the
war department at Washington. 1t appears
from the evidence that when the news Of
the shooting OF President Mckinley was re-
ceived at Fort Ethan Allen Devine ex-
pressed great satisfaction over the crime
and applied an unco uplimentary epithet
to the late President His cOmrsdes rough
ly handled him before he could be secured
in the guard house Ho was found guilty
of the charge by the court and sentenced to
be dishonorably discharged from the SER
vice of the United States, forfeitng all pay
and allowances due him and to be confined
at hard labor for year.
The record of the case having been re-
ferred to Maj. General Brooke at New
York, commanding the department Of the
east, he indorsed IL as follows:
1T is the opinion of the reviewing author
ity that the punish nent adjudged by the
conrt is not sufficient penalty for the
have committed. 1t is not within the pow.
or of the reviewing authority to increase
the punishment, but in order that the
prisoner may not wholly escape punish
ment, the sentence is approved and will
be duly executed at Fort Columbus, N. Y,
to which place the prisoner will be sent
under proper guard"
The approval Of the sentence by Gen.
Brooke is a final disposition OF the case.
No appeal can be taken and the sentence
will be carried out.

The GRAND JURY.

Late Monday afternoon the grand jury
which has been in session more than four
weeks, went into court and made partial
report. Twenty true bills were reported
and seven not found. Among the latter
was the case against Emma Goldman, 1t
was found impossible to convict her, ex-
cept in a general way, with the attempted
assassination Of Chief of Police Brown at
Barre last December.
The grand jury resumed its sittingTuesday
morning and Immediately sent out sub
poenas for forty witnesses. No one is rPsh
enough to predict when their fnal report
will be made.
Eurico Nj limo OF Barre was the first one
to be brought in under indictment. He ia
charged with adultry. Bail was fixed at
$1,000, which IVES furnished by Carlo Merlo
OF Barre.
DR.. j. A. Dow of Topsham, who was in
dicted for perjury, will be brought in this
afternoon to have bsil fixed. DR.. Dow is
now under $1,000 bonds in Orange county
for arson He is charged with setting fire
to his buildings In West Topsham several
weeks ago. The indictment in this county
charges him with perjury in making false
statement under oath to the Union Mutual
Fire Insurance Con pany in which his build
ings were insured.

THE EXPOSITIONS.
October the Time Of Largest Visita-
tiOn. Go to Alcazar Hotel.

The paid admission during Oct. to the
three great Expositions, viz: Philadelphia,
Chicago and Omaha, we're 30. per cent OF
the whole attendance during the six montl 8
OF their continuance. Out OF q grand total
of 30,442.171 (paid) 9,849,1 visited those
Expositions during the last month of their
continuance. The above statement proves
oonclusively that the season when it is by
far easier to secure parties to make mp ex-
cursions or to go singly to the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition, is just now being entered
upon.
II you haven't anything more desirable
to do, get up party to 60 to the greatest
existing show on earth. Good terms for
subsistence can be arranged at the Alcszar
Hotel. Correspond with the proprietor for
terms, conditions, etc. Address, Alcazar
Hotel Co., Buffalo, n. Y. There will be
inducements to any organizer of a party,
large or small.
The night view from the Acazar alone
should satisfy any one that this feature is
worth the price of rooms, and when is add
ed the money, time and labor saved by be-
ing at the gate from which more than half
the visitors leave the Exposition grounds to
take the cars it can rightfully be claimed
that the Alcazar has no competitor in any
other locality.
Vermonters who have stopped at the AL
cszar, whose proprietor, Mr. Johnson, is a
Vermonter, speak in high praise OF its ac-
commodations.

MR.. STONE In THE PHILIPPINES.

Becent letters from Manila state that
Hon. Mason 8. Stone was recalled to that
city from Negros, during the absence OF DR..
David Barrows, city superintendent OF
schools, and was temporarily in charge of
the educational affairs of the city. A bet
ter position than he has at Negros has been
offered Mr.. Stone, which be declined in or
der to carry on his work in the latter island
with his New England assistants, and be-
cause he would be better physically there
than in the place in question. OF the eli
mate he says with enthusiasm, 1T is go-
rious here and wishyou were here to en-
joy it,"

feeling we'll and is greatly interested in his
work, which Is needless to remark to his
friends in Vermont.

RAILROADS CONSOLIDATE

The stockholders OF the Ogdensburg and
Lake Champlain railroad met at Ogdens-
burg on Friday and voted unanimously for
a consolidation OF the various lines control

JUMPED THE TRACK.

The mail train from the north this morn
ing WAS nearly two hours late because OF
an accident late Sunday night to the New
York express between Essex junction and
Fort Ethan Allen.
That train, which was due o leave Bur-
lington for New York at 1906 P. M, jumped
the track Just beyond the Estate hne cross
ing" so-called, at the essternmost portion
OF the government reservation at Fort
Ethan Allen. Not q person aboard the
train was injured. The place where the
accident occurred Is about two miles west
of Essex Junction. 1t was caused by the
heavy rain OF Sunday evening washing the
sand and gravel over the track at the cross
ing which is at the entrance OF a cut.
Every one OF the four cars left the rails
as did also the tender and the engine with
the exception OF the latter's forward trucks.
Engineer Barrett promptly set the air
brakes and the sudden stopping OF the train
caused thereby, together with the humping
of the cars over the ties, create d for the
time scene OF much confusion. With a
few exceptions everyone kept cool. In the
passenger and Pullman cars the ladies
Clung pluckily to their sests and their cool
ness and presence OF mind accounts for
their immunity from injury. The combina
ton baggage and smoker, the second car
from the engine, broke away from the mail
car ahead and tipped nearly over on its |, 1t
side. In this car the men climbed to the
upper sides and clung to the seats until the
terrible jolting ceased. One man pushed
up the window half way and was through
the narrow aperture in an instant. The
others succeeded in opening the door and
made their way out In s more dignified
manner. When all were out there were
eager inquiries as to whether anyone was
injured and when it was found that no one
had scratch to show, much satisfaction
Was expressed.

WASHINGTON COUNTY COURT.

When Washington county court took a
recess at noon Saturday until Monday after
noon the defencs was still putting in evil
dence in the case of Sprague against the
town OF Calais. The plaintiff will have con-
siderable evidence on rebuttal after the de-
fence rests, and it is probable the case will
not go to the jury before the middle OF this
week.
One of the principal points made thus far
by the defence is that the plaintiff had a
partial disability to Ger knee before the ac'
cdent for which she sues for damages. They
have also put in evidence tending to show
that he plaintiff is at present exaggersting
her injuries. and that she at one time pa
pered a room wi hout the aid OF crutches.

MAJOR ii. y. FOSTER.

This gallant officer OF the Twelfth United
States infantry arrived in Montpelier FRI
day night, direct from the Philippines. Ma
jor Foster was called home b the illness Of
his father, who resides in North Calais.
Major Foster, then captain, was ordered
to Msnil with his regiment in February,
1899. He has seen much active and ardu-
Gus service but appe rs to be in vigorous
health and has been extremely blessed in
escaping contact with Filipino missiles or
weaTons. Major Foster expresses great de-
light in being again in Gods country. 1t ia
quite likely that before his leave OF absence
expires his regiment will have returned. or
will be under orders to return, and in that
event he will not go back to the Philip
pines. Calais has sent many good soldiers
into the service Of the country and she has
to her credit many commissioned officers

CANNOT GET BAIL,

G. B. Frszette, who was arrested on Mon
day on libel suit brought by G. MilzeTini
OF Barre, has been unable to procure bail
and is still in jail. Freze' te Is charged with
the authorship OF letter published in an
Italian paper at Spring Valley, ILL.,, which
states that Mlzerni was bribed by the
State to testify against the anarchists in the
trial last spring for the shooting of Chief of
Police Brown of Barre. Ii will be remem-
bered that Mizsrini, who is janitor of the
socialist hall in Barre, was one of the prin-
cipal witnesses for the State in the trial Of
the cases against Artaro Bernacco and
Cebarldo Gueiseeppeni, in both OF which
there was conviction.

LETTER TO EDWARD ID. HYDE.
Montpelier, w.

Dear SU:-If you want your paint to last
as long as that of other house.owners in
your town is going to last, you should use
lead and zinc.
You can mix your own, or buy Devoe, as
you like. The results will not be the same,
however. Devoe lead and zinc is ground
in oil and thoroughly mixed. Machinery
does it. Hand-work can't compete with
machine-work. either in cost or thorough
ness. Mixing by hand is imperfect mixing;
and zinc is peculiarly hard to mix; wants
grinding
Lead and oil is honest paint; but less
durable. Lead is tender and zinc is tough.
The proper mixture ground together Is
much better than either alone. French
painters use zinc alone; but American
painters think it is too hard, and mix it
with lead.
Yours truly,
AZ r. W. DEvoE & Co.
A bbott & Bailey sell our paints in your
section.

Lead you down the homestretch;

But Columbial
You're the gem of this ocean,
And it up to you
To keep its brilliance blazing
In the forefront of the fray
For the Cup and what it stands for,
Like tar that leads the way.
Old Glory and the Eagle
And the Glorious Fourth and Me
Are roofing with the bleachers
For you and victory,
And if you slip a backstay
Or anything Ii that,
Gee roosalem Columby,
y here shall we all be at?
Now spread your sails and hustle,
I'VE put you there to win;
And when you've licked the Shamrock
Go back and tow her in,

We've no hard feelings,
For Sir Thomas,
A good fellow.
