AMATEUR REINSMEN
FURNISHED SPORT

The Greendale race track yesterday af-
ternoon was the scene of an interesting
race between horses owned by two prom
inent Swedish men of this city. The race
was the outcome of an argument between
the two men relative to the speed of their
respective horses C. Nelson of Perry
Avenue claiming that his mare, Lizzie
May, which was formerly owned by l..
Johnson, could show his heels to the new
horse Mr.. Johnson purchased after he
sold the mare to Mr.. Nelson. A match
was arranged for yesterday afternoon,
the race to be for the best two heats in
three. The race started at o'clock, and
was won by Mr. Johnsons horse which
took two straight heats. never being
headed in either of the heats. The race
showed Mr.. johnson that his horse was
the faster of the two, but Mr.. Nelson
was not satisfied and challenged Mr..
Johnson to another race, to take place
three weeks from today when, he says,
he will have his horse in better condition.
There was a good deal of betting among
friends of each man. The time of the two
heats was: First heat 1880; second heat,
! :29.

FAST TIMEs

DR.. W. Seward Webb and party arrived
at Shelburne Saturday afternoon. The trip
from the Pacific coast was made in remark
ably fast time.
The special train was made mp OF the
private cars Swannonoa, Genesta, Elsmore,
and the sleeper Malacca a dining car and a
horse and baggage combination car. The
train left San Francisco a. three o'clock on
March l9, and arrived At Shelburne at three
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. No stops
were made except for the change of en-
gines, for water, and the icing OF the car.
From San Francisco to Ogden the time was
slower than that of the Overland Limited,
From Ogden to Omaha and Chicago the
time was perhaps the fastest ever made.
From Grand Isle to Omaha over the Union
Pacific the time was from seventy to sew
enty five miles an hour, and at one point
sixty-three miles were covered in fifty-one
minutes. Over the Lake Shore and New
York Central from Chicago TO New York
the time was that OF the Chicago Limited,
while from Albany to Shelburne, a distance
OF about 100 miles, the time was three hours
aud half. In DIR. Webb's opinion the
time OF the famous Palmer run can be
easily beaten.

NEW SHOE STORE

TIL" new shoe store OF j. A. Good win g.
Company in G.. w. Colby's new block at
the corner Of Barre and Hubbard streets was
opened to the public today. The store is a
model OF neatness and convenience. Much
attention has been paid in the arrangement
to light, the store being lighted by large
windows by day and eleven electric lights
In the evening.
One Is impressed on entering with the ar
tistic taste OF the proprietors, as the store
resembles drawing room with it's felt.top-
ped counters, double and single couches,
rich rugs and draperies, the predominating
colors being red and green. The show
window is tsstily arranged, samples of the
stock kept being grouped amid potted
plants. Mr. Goodwin is also an artist of no
mean order and exhibits of his work adorn
the walls. One is the "Box CalP' litho-
graphed and framed hung in an alcove and
draped - ith the American flag. The orig
inal of this picture was painted by Mr..
Goodwin and sold to White Brothers & Co.,
for trade mark for their leather and has
attracted great attention throughout the
country because of its originality and life
like expression. In another frame is what
at first appears to be So bank note pinned
TO board but when one attempts to pick
1t off he finds that this is another specimen
OF Mr. Goodwins skill with the brush.
Mr. Goodwin has had wide experience
in the shoe business, beginning twenty
eight years go as ali errand boy in a shoe
store in Providence, r. l., where he had
gone from this city with his parents. He
remained in this store twenty-six years and
for the past two years has been employed
as salesman in the leading shoe store in
Providence
Mr. Goodwin is, in connection With his
experience, OF pleasing address and is de-
termined to win success on his and his
goods merits. He believed when he con-
cluded to go into business for himself that
his native city offered him a good field.
The specialties of his well selected stock
are the Walk Over shoe for men and the
American Rubber Companys goods for
which he is sole agent.
Today each lady who visited the store was
presented with d pink as a souvenir. The
pleasing environments and pleasant aus
pices under which MIR. Goodwin makes his
bow to the public would seem to argue de-
gree of success in his venture which will
crafty his friends and himself

IN COUNTY COURT.

Trial Of the case Of State vs.. Gueiseppini
was resumed In county court Monday after
noon. The jury appeared refreshed by the
recess since Saturday noou and all are in
good health. They attended divine service
at Trinity church Sunday morning and
went to the temperance meeting in the
evening in charge OF Deputy Ben. Gates.
Corrine Buzzi was recalled by the State
Monday 4fternoon. She is considered very
important witness for the prosecution. She
is anything but "swft' witness for the
State, and testimony is drawn from her
with difficulty by the States Attorney. She
was on the stand a long time this afternoon.
La re William Jennlson, habeas corpus
case, that was set for bearing today was
postponed to Monday, April 30 Mr.. Jen-
nison lives in Peacham and was arrested on
trustee writ. He is out on $3.50 bail
Jailor Tracy was also given leave to amend
his writ.
The State rested at noon in the trial of
State V, Guesseppeini. The clothing worn
by Chief Brown the night of the shooting,
the bullets said to have been taken from
his body and foot, box of csrtrido es, pho
tographs, etc, were offered by the State
aud were received subject to the objec
| ions of the respondents counsel.
The defence has already summoned sew
enteen witnesses. Their evidence will nc
doubt necessitate more or less testimony
from the State in rebuttal, so that the time
of the end OF the trial cannot as yet be pre-
dicted.

Nine we'll developed cases OF small pox
have been discovered in the little village OF
North POwnal. For four weeks the disease
has been prevailing in q mild form in one
family. No physician was called till Satur-
day when he pronounced it small pox,

had been exposed. The matter has also
been reported to the State board of health, j.,
which will make au investig ttio0. 1t ia not

thought II Was brought IN bale OF wool.
The spread has evidently been caused by

FORTUNATE BRATTLEBORO.

The celebrated Thomas Thompson will
case has been settled through the filing of
compromise decree by Judge Knowlton in
the Supreme Judicial Court of Mass achu-
setts si5ting in equity. Under the terms of
the compromise the heirs will receive $780,
900 and the remainder OF the estate, 81 ,100,-
000, Will constitute a trust fund, two-thir1s
OF the income to he used annually for charit-
able purposes in brattlebOrO, W., and one
third for similar purposes in Rhinebeck,
Y.
Thomas Thompson was native OF Bos,
ton aud an ecceutric man, who died in New
York in 1869. His fortune, amounting at
the time to about 81, 100000, inherited. Un-
der the terms Of the will, his wife, Elizabeth
Thompson the widely known philanthro-
pat, had the use of the income during her
lifetime. Her death took place in Little
ton, N. Fl, July 2l. 1899. Mr.. Thompson q
will provided that upon her death the in e
come should be used for the relief of needy
seamstresses, needle women and shOpsrls
in Brattleboro and Rhinebeck The heirs
of Thomas Thompson contested the will
and it has gone through long course oi
litigation.
Brattleboro will receive the income oi
two-thirds Of the estate after the claims oi
the heirs have been paid. Under the com
promise the scope for which the money may
be used is interpreted broadly and the mon
ey will be available not only for the womeI
of the classes named, but also for various
kindred charitable purposes, such as fret
kindergarten and hospital. The amoun
coming to Brattleboro annually will b'
about $26, ,C00 and IL ia probable that suf
ficient amount may be used from this sun
to maintain first class hospital. A charte
has been granted for hospital.

LETTER TO CHARLES F. BUSWELL
Montpelier, VI.

Dear Sir: Rockland, Maine, is seacoast
town; hard place for paint. About seven
teen years ago, Farrsnd, Spear & Co.,
Rockland, began with Devoe. Their first
sale was to paint the Harrington residence,
well known there.
Mr. Farrand says the house appears from,
the street. to be we'll painted now, and has
never been repainted
We should like to Snow more definitely
about job Of paint that has lasted seven
teen years on a seaside house. 1t is the
longest time we have had report on.
Lead and oil lasts three years-a first-rate
job-and nobody saye it lasts longer. We
are content to say that Devoe lead and zinc
lasts twice as long; but we know of houses
innumerable, on which our paint has ex-
ceeded six years.
Yours truly,
#. W. DEvoE & Co.

iment, Companies ID of st. Johnsbury, II OF

panies to comply with the requirements OF

visions of the new law 1t takes effect back

W. A. Pattee of Company FL, who is senior
captain OF the regiment and whose com.
mission dates back five years, comes under

LODGED IN JAIL.

e. M. Temple, well known in Montpelier
when he was travelling salesman for the liq.
uor firm of Mason & Sinott of Boston, was
arrested Monday afternoon in Burlington
and lodged in jail, AT the time of his ar
rest Temple had secured team and was
about to leave the city. He was arrested at
the instance Of G. German, who was
Temples surety for $1,000 in case now
pending in which an action was brought
against him for embezzlement by Moore &
Snott.
Temple left Burlington about one year
ago while proceedings were pending against
him for the alleged violation of an iniunc.
ton placed upon the store of A. e. Lem
erise & Co, located in the Hayward block
There were also several cases in city court
against him for the furnishing and sale OF
liquor. The fines and costs in these were
recently paid. Temple went to Montreal
and has since been staying in that section
where he could not be reached He thought
the Burlington officers had forgotten that
they had papers for his arrest.
