Peppermint Essence" Case.

The Vermont supreme court re-
Gently rendered decision in novel
and interesting case under the prOhib-
itory law. 1t was Franklin county
case. tried at the September term in
that county before Judge Rowell 1t
has been facetiously known as the
peppermint essence case because
the question at issue was whether
peppermint essence is an intoxicating
beverage within the meaning OF the
statute. Judge Rowell refused to
order a verdict for the respondent, as
requested by his counsel, on the
ground that the essence is not intoX-
icating, and submitted the question
to the jury whether the respondent
sold it Tor the purpose of intoxication
The respondents counsel excepted,
and the supreme courts opinion sus-
tains Judge Rowell's decision. The
finding of the court is, in substance,
that if a beverage is capable OF making
a man drunk, and is sold and used for
that purpose, lit is an intoxicating
beverage within the meaning of the
law.

Proctor Gould Win II.

Fletcher Proctor, speaker in the
present legislature, has been mention
ed frequently in connection with the
nomination, but he is giving no in
dication that he is seeking the
honor in opposition TO Mccullough
and Webb. The Phoenix believes,
however. that Col. Proctor has only to
announce his willingness to become a
candidate. and to allow his friends to
enter the campaign with the rallying
slogan, "a genuine Nermohter," to
change completely the present aspect
of affairs. Col. Proctor, ii he so listed,
could come down the stretch a winner
with the others tar enough back to
see the flag fall. Ii the struggle is
lett to Mccullough and Webb the
chances favor the former. while the
latter will be put in a position more
easily to win the prize in later cam

TRAGEDYIN HARDWICk.
James Buck Killed His Wife and Fled
but Was Captured.


A frightful tragedy occurred at the
home OF James Buck, a well known
farmer living about one mile and a
half out side the village of Hardwick,
when he fatally injured his wife.
The first news of the deed was
brought by Buck himself,
who went to the hotel in Hardwlck
about IL O'Clock Monday night and IN
formed his daughter, who Is employed
there. that her mother was ill and that
she ought to 90 to her Mt once. ltnow
appears that he gave his daughter some
money and told her TO keep her
mouth shut"
The daughter was hurriedly taken
to the house by a livery man where
she found her mother in bed uncon-
scious and blood stains spattered
about the floor, wall and furniture.
There was one terrible cash in her
forehead and another in her cheek and
her face was badly bruised. The
weapon with which the deed was done
was vice grip about Is inches long,
made of three-quarter-inch iron wound
with red flannel.
Buck. who is about As years old,
lived alone with his wife and it is com
monty understood that they were in
the habit of quarrelling violently.
Tuesday physicians made an examin-
alton and found two bullet holes in the
skull OF Mrs. Buck, who died next day.
Buck formerly lived in Wolcott'
where he had bad reputation and Is
said TO have been troublesome in his
family and often brutal.
Buck went from Hardwick TO VOL
colt, where Ernest Brown, son OF his
wife by former husband, lives and
told him that his mother was desper-
ately i'll and that he ought to go TO see
her at once. When he came ont 10
take the team TO 90 to Hardwick, Buck
had disappeared.
Officers were notified in several
towns and posses were organized 10
hunt for Buck, who was captured
near Greensboro Bend Thursday. Er-
nest Brown, who was staying at the
farmhouse with the body OF his mother
Wednesday night, was attracted by q
noise outside. and saw Buck skulking
near the house. Buck evidently wish.
ed to know whether his wife had died.
It was later learned that Buck stop
ped at a house near Greensboro Bend
for breakfast and posse Of fully %
men was at once organized and Buck
was found at IL o'clock in a swamp
near that place, aud made no resist.

KILLED BYA "SPoTTER."
IT. Goshen Fatally Shot by ,. D.
Waite at White River Junction.


A chain of rather exciting events in
Windsor county eliminated at White
River Junction Sunday evening in a
fatal shooting. E. T. Goshen was
killed by S. d. Waite. Waite is held
for murder.
Some time since the officials Of
Windsor county began vigorous en-
forcement of the prohibitory law.
Places at Bethel, Woodstock and Lud-
low were raided and their proprietors
fined. This was followed the first OF
last week by the breaking up of u
POKER party in one of the rooms of the
hotel at White River junction. 1t was
a fve-cent game, with 25c. limit.
Officers broke in late at night and
with drawn revolvers arrested the
party, who were fined in county court
later.
1t was known that one Waite, who
had been hanging about in various
parts of the county, had been playing
the "spottern and acting as intormer
for these offences. To ingratiate him
! self with those of whom he later com
planned, he had shown obscene pic
lures. A complaint was made against
| him for this and he was taken to
Woodstock, where States Attorney
Tarbell went bail for him. An angry
crowd saw him depart from the juno
ton after the arrest OF the poker
PLAYERS, and in fear for his sat y he
summoned officers to protect him.
Mr.. Tarbell advised him TO leave
| Woodstock by another route than the
Junction, but he declined, going TO the
hotel there for supper Sunday even
inc, intending to drive to Hanover i'm
mediately afterward. He was Kissed
and assailed by abusive language in
the hotel office and replied in kind.
Tie had revolver, which he took no
pains to conceal, placing it in his
outer coat pocket as he stepped
through the door onto the veranda.
Two or three men were here. Some
thing happened and Waite drew his
revolver and fired three times. One
ball passed through the overcoat Of W.
st. John, one struck the floor and one
/ penetrated the abdomen of Goshen.
Before he could fire again, Officer
\ Peck, who was near, seized Waite,
took away his 32-cal. revolver and ar
/ rested him.
Goshen walked across the street to
Or. Worthen's office and fell. The
! local physicians and Doctors Smith
and Gale OF Hanover operated on
Goshen at s:45, but he sank rapidly
and died at | 45 Monday morning.
Before he died. he said that he had not
touched Waite. and that the shooting
was unprovoked. Goshen was a
young man, unmarried, painter by
trade, and formerly lived at Bradford.
He was of a quiet, unoifensive dispo-
sition
Great excitement ensued, and 10
save Waite from violence he was
hustled to Woodstock Jail at once. lie
claims that he had been struck and II
was 20 protect himself that he fired.
Waite, who goes also by other names,
was secured for detective work 10y
Gov. Stickney from the FaXon agency
at Quincy, Mass. Application was
made to the governor for such an
officer, it is supposed by the county
authorities The Anti-Saloon League
denies that it had anything to do with
the matter.
Waite will be charged with murder
and his case will come before the
grand jury now in session at Wood
stock.

The subject of legislation against
anarchists and anarchy is now up to
Congress, and pretty difficult subject
it is. The trouble is TO frame an act
that will amount to anything at all
which will not also be so radical as to
defeat itself before passage. The
realm of opinion and belief is one that
has never been invaded with success
by legal restriction. This country
would not long tolerate punishment
meted out to men who merely an
nouneed their adherence to any doc
trine, even anarchy itself, unless they
made themselves obnoxious by action.
The more violent anarchists are be-
yond fear of punishment. The assas-
sins are invariably men unheard of
until the deeds are committed. In
fact. IL is their ambition to establish
themselves in favor with their breth-
rem that incites them to their acts of
violence. About all that legislation
can effect is to keep ont OF the country
known anarchists who seek to enter I;
to prohibit utterances OF speech or pen
calculated to incite crime; to refuse
the mail privilege to anarchistic liter
AZURE; and to make attempts on the
lives of the president and the presi-
DENTAL succession capital offences,
whether they are successful or not.

Undoubtedly, the second-class postal
privilege is abused, as the department
alleges, and reform is necessary, but
the abuses are not all in that class, by
any means. Enormous tolls, amount
ING almost to government subsidies,
are paid railroads for carrying the
mails. Compared with the sums paid
by private companies for carrying ex-
press, they are beyond all reason.
Yet. for some cause, there is no CON-
plant from the postal department OF
robbery in this direction. Some of the
worst abuses are those of the
franking privilege, by which is meant
the liberty that Congressman enjoy OF
sending through the mails free their
own matter. Nominally, this is linn
tied to mail matter of a public nature,
but many Congressman have elastic
consciences and are able to convince
themselves that practically everything
they wish to send falls under that
head. 1t is stated that furniture,
| libraries and even iron safes have
been sent tree through the mails,
under the Congressional frank. We
+ have seen no allusion to this in the
postmaster-generars report. During
the last session, the picturesque
Billy Mason OF Illinois made q
speech in the Senate on the subject Of
champagne. He referred in eompli.
mentary way to a certain brand Of
