BIG MARBLE DEAL.

The deal which puts Representative
Charles N. Fowler of Elizabeth, N. j., and
George 9. Underhill of Rutland in possess
sion OF the capital stock of the True Blue
Marble Company, has been eliminated.
The purchase price on cash basis was
$200,C00.
The True Blue Marble properties consist
Of 800 acres at Whipple Hollow and 3Co
acres in the vicinity of Pttsford. The Cor
ona mill at Brandon is included in the
transfer. The Pittsford property is consid-
cred the most valuable. 1t contains about
dozen varieties of marble including what
is claimed to be the largest deposit OF pure
white marble in the country.
The principal one Of the new owners, Mr..
Fowler, Is millionaire and it is under
stood controls the placing of some very ex.
tensive marble contracts at the present
time. The transfer doubtless means the
influx OF much new capital into the bust
ness in Vermont and consequently great OF
activity OF operations and the employment
OF much larger force of men and machin-
cry. Mr.. Fowler is at present member o.
the banking and currency committee IL
Congress- is lawyer. only forty-eight years
| old and has been in Congress three terms.

WHAT'S IN A NAME
(Bsnson's Plaster Is Pains Masisr.)

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovsls were used as cur
rsncy. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years
The very name OF Oliver Ames d Bon, was
o synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say ii is good" plaster does
not describe it Is is the bSst possible plaster.
For every disease In which an external rem
, edy is available, Benson's Plaster Ia used
almost as matter Of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves add
cures where other modes of treatment are
either eIasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Oapscum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
OF Bsnson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Bsnson's
Plaster as remedy In which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, In
comparative test with other plastsrs, Ben
sons has received tftyJisS highest aoards.
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.
For sale by all druggists or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered In the
United States on receipt Of $50. each.

AMISLEADING REPORT.

Editor Ddily Journdl:-Noticing a little
item in the columns OF your paper among
the Barre news, which no DOUBT VIZ taken
from an article in one OF the Barre papers,
and which article 1 believe had more or
less malice, % it wes not a copy OF the ar
ticle 1t putported 70 be, in justice to myself
and to set Alright the minds OF my friends in
Vermont, an explanation is hereby CIV
en-:
Some fourteen years since we connect
ed with business firm in Chicago with
whom had only small salary and per-
centags in profits, If any were made, as my
interest. had nothing to do with the col
lecting or paying of the accounts or in any
way signing notes. After the Partnership
was dissolved L learned the company had
given several thousand dollars worth Of
notes, was called upon to pay, and did pay,
between sixteen and seventeen hundred dol
lars, which was double the amount that
ever received from the company.
In 1889 became treasurer OF the Spring
field Emery Wheel Mig. Co.. then located
in Springfield, Mes, but sfterward in
Bridgeport. When became interested in
this company it was heavily involved and
holders OF the paper insisted that before the
same could be moved to Bridgeport l must
sign with five others) paper amounting to
over S20C-). By the assurance OF the
board OF directors that bonds would be is
sued and 1 could thus cancel the obligation,
did sign it.. Before the bonds were issued
the directors revoked the order to issue
bonds and my name was left on over 3 y
Co0 worth of paper. l have since paid over
sc, 0Co Of those obligations. Now, as mat
ter of fact to rid myself Of any further liza
bilites of these two above named COM
papies, from which / had never received
any personal benefit, 1 did apply in 1889
for discharge in bankruptcy and the same
was granted a few days since.
The article referred to in yours and the
Barre paper is misleading, as 1t would APP
pear that either I YVES N unsucce Ssful bust
| ness man or that 1 had gone into bank
ruptcy for personal gain l wish to say to
my friends through the JOURNAL that
| have always paid my personal bills one
| hundred cents on the dollar and always ex.
| pect to be able TO do so; also, that the bust
ness which 1 have had the management OF
| for the last nine years hes enjoyed good
| financial standing and WEI never more
| prosperous than at the present time.
GEORGE W. JACKMAN.
1t should be matter OF in. rest in Wash
| ineton county that one OF it's sons in anoth-
or State hes built up there a fiourishing bus
| mess, out of a bankrupt concern, that he
has recently completed new works at an ex-
pense of $40, 900, said to be the finest plant
of the kind in New England, and is doing
therein large and prosperous business.
Information from Bridgeport conclusively
settles the question of Mr.. JackmaD's bus
mess standing. His name is good in bank
there for any sum desired.

IN CHINA

YOKOHAMA, April 3.-Russia's re-
ply to Japan's protest against the Man.
churian convention is regarded as I'M
satisfactory, and further vigorous rep
reservations will follow.
Prince Konoye Atsumaro, president
of the House OF Peers, in the course
of an infammatory speech, openly dis
cussed the probable results of war
between Japan and Russia, and said
that japan could count upon the
friendly neutrality of Great Britain and
Germany. He declared that the Un-
tied States would not interfere and
that France would only cause uneasi-
ness by the employment of her Anna
mez forces and by navel demonstra-
ton off Formosa. This, he predicted,
would be the limit of French action;
and therefore Japan's vastly superior
army could be enabled without any
very great difficulty to drive Russia out
of Manchuria.
PEKIN, April 4.--The Chinese gov
eminent has formally notified Russia
that China, owing to the attitude of the
powers, is not to sign the Manchurian
convention.
est is China's DESIRE" says the for
NAL notification, "to keep on friendly
terms with all nations. AT present
she is going through period which is
the most perilous in the empires his
tory, and it is necessary that she should
have the friendship of all. However
much she might be willing to grant
any special privilege to one power,
when others object it is impossible
that for the sake of making one nation
friendly, she should ALLEVIATE the SYM
pathies of all Others"
An instruction is reported from
Song-Pha, where insurgents are raid
ing and killing. Insurgents are also
raiding in the vicinity of Pao Ting.
German troops sent to rout them killed
$50 without losing man. Insurgents
are also operating in the vicinity of
Moukeden and Japanese papers say
/ that they were undoubtedly excited by
Russia 70 furnish an excuse for the as
sertion Of Russian authority.
| PEKIN, April Ali Hung Chang
will soon depart from Pekin. The EN-.
peror is displeased with his conduct OF
the negotiations. When Ii Hung
Chang was made one of the peace en-
voys he was pro-Russian in sentiment
but there was no cause for complaint
on that score until the Manchurian
agreement came up for consideration.
! Now it is believed Ii has proved 30
earnest an advocate of the Russian
cause and has 30 strenuously worked
for the signature of agreement that his
own government felt obliged to deprive
him of the power to further that
agreement. If this understanding is
correct it is believed an effectusl check
has been administered to Russia in her
designs upon Manchuria, for it il
thought the Emperor OF China would
scarcely have acted in this summary
fashion had he not had assurances Of
support from some other powers.

High Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work in
cessantly with brain and hand to hold their
own nowadays. Never were the demands
OF business, the wants OF the family the re-
quirements OF society, more numerous.
The first effect Of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things Is commonly
seen in a weakened or debilitated condi-
ton of the nervous system, which results
in dyspepsia, defective nutrition OF both
body and brain, and in extreme cases in
complete prostration. 1t is clearly seen that
what is needed Is what will sustain the
system, give vigor and tone to the nerves,
and keep the digestive and assimilative
functions healthy and active. From per-
soDal knowledge, we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose. 1t
acts on all the vital organs, builds up tn Q
whole system, and fits men and women for
these high pressure days.

IN MANILA.

WASHINGTON, April AFTER con-
sultation with the President Secretary
Root last night sent cable message to
Gen. Macarthur, giving him instruc-
tions regarding Aguinaldo and the
views OF the administration on some
recommendations as to Philippine az
fairs made by Gen. Macarthur. The
contents of the cablegram will not be
made public for the present.
Aguinaldo is still held as prisoner
and, while he will be treated with kind.
ness, there is no disposition to allow
him liberty until it is demonstrated thai
he intends to comply fully with the
amnesty terms and his oath of allegi'
ance. Aguinaldo is more than an or.
binary prisoner and it has not yet been
determined whether or not he is re.
sponsible for the violations of the laws
OF war.
MANILA, April A daughter of the
former chief of the Katipunan society
and who is president of the Woman's
Peace League, has been permitted q
long interview with Aguinaldo. She
reports having found him in quandary
professedly DESTROYS of peace, yet re-
luctant to abandon the idea of Filipino
independence.
she seemed unable to make up his
mind regarding the oath of allegiance
to the United States" che says, "be-
cause he had sworn eternal fealty to
the Filipino flag, and had been elected
leader Of the revolution, though he
bowed somewhat to public sentiment.
He wanted q conference in order to
ascertain the wishes of the Filipino
people, and suggested that conven.
ton consisting half of insurgents and
half of Pacificos should decide the
matter. / told him that ninety pei
cent of the population were in favor Of

times l think exile and imprisonment

SETH JOHNSON'S DEATH

The murder trial of State against Frank
Miller of Northfield set for trial on Mon.
day in Washington County Court, recalls
the tragic death OF Major Seth Johnson in
June Lent.
Late in the afternoon on Monday, June
IL, the dead body OF a man was discovered
in the Winooski, near the high bank wall
in the Central Vermont yard. Investiga-
ton showed it to be the body of Major Seth
johnson Of No. q Kent street, Montpelier,
who had been missing since Saturday even.
ing, June g. when Wallace's circus ex-
hibited in Montpelier.
The theory at the time was that Johnson,
while in an intoxicated condition, fell off
the wall, struck a rock In the river and
YVES instantly killed. The physicians who
performed an autopsy declared death was
due to drowning. A deep cut in the dead
mans head YVES supposed to have been
made by bis striking rock when he fell in
the stream. In his pocket we5 found 81 81.
1t we3 known that he had considerable
amount OF money with him when he left
his wife Saturday evening, ostensibly to 20
to the circus.
The widow and relatives OF the dead man
we're not satisfied with the explanation OF
the physicians as to the cause Of his death
They declared that Johnson had not been
drinking the Saturday evening previous,
and they were confident he never would
have fallen off the wall near which his
body was found. had he not met with foul
play. They appealed to States Attorney
Hoar, who commenced an investigation
about two weeks after Johnson's body was
found. This investigation resulted in the in
dictment by the grand Jury last September
Of Frank Miller OF Mortified for the murder
Of johnson. The respondent was lodged in
Jail last September, where he has since re-
NAMED. States Attorney Hoar will be es
sisted in the prosecution OF this case by
Frank Plumley of Mortified. J. III. Sen,
ter and III. A. Huse will defend Miller. The
trial will probably la1t week or ten days
