Republican Corruption in the Green
 Mountain State.

Cnlcago Cnronlcle.
 The Republican State Convention of Vermont will be held today. The cam paign of the primaries to elect delegates closed last Saturday. The result is a sub stantial stand-off between three candi- dates for the gubernatorial nomination, all railroad millionares.
 It is declared in many publications and in sworn testimony before local courts that the most fragrant corruption was practiced in all parts of the State. Yer mont has a prohibitory law. but during the struggle of the rivals for the chief place on the Republican ticket whiskey was openly measured out from standin g barrel to voters at many of the prima- rles.
 The testimony taken before numerous magistrates established the fact that were acepted by voters. While Vermont has primary law, it Is defective in not providing a penalty for bribery or for it's violation in other ways. This fact made 1t easy f-vitnesses to confess by whole sale to n.lbery and corruption.
 According to one witness at St. Albans a wagon load of whiskey was dumped at a restaurant near the polls and three many other places free whiskey was "on D. for all voters who were right" for certain candidates.
 From free whiskey the Inducements to voters was extended in other directio;is' Money was openly paid for votes. The price began at 10 cents a vote, but ad- vanced to s1.5O and $2. One voter was bought for the use of a yoke of oxen ten days on his farm. Another voter received the privilege of fishing during June in a private trout stream.
 A funny part of the campaign is that farmers were charged as being the most susceptible class and the cheapest A Montpelier newspaper published under it's list of garden sass prices daily quota tions of the price of votes: The whlsk " peddled out for votes is said to have pro duced drunkenness quicker than any other beverage which man could drink A few swallows of it would render a voter unable to approach the polls and hand his ballot to the tellers unless he had assistance.

AKRON GIANT AGAIN PUTS TOM SHARKEY OUT OF
 BUSINESS.
Ruhlin's Speed Was Like He Had at Coney Island Two Years Ago When He Put Sharkey Out in
 Fifteen Rounds.

London. June 25.-Tn the coronation boxing tournament today Gus 'RuhIin of Akron. O.. defeated Tom Sharkey of New York in eleven rounds.
 Denver Ed Martin. the negro fighter. de- feated Sandy Ferguson, the Engl1shman. in five rounds
 sharkey started in a slight favorite at 9 to 20. Both fighters were in the acme of con- dition. Adopting forcing tactics, Sharkey held his own in the first three rounds. although Ruhlin always managed to miss sharkey's s lightning left whenever there any force in 1t. In the fourth round Sharkey was cau- toned second time for holding and although plucky he appeared to be in trouble. Ruhln showed great science and coolness. The fight ing continued at severe pace. At the open ing of the fifth round Ruhlin sent his right and left to Sharkeys jaw and neck and the latter was cautioned for hitting low. Ruhlin was good on his feet and maintained spen- did defense while Sharkey was the receiver general" Both men were again cautioned for holding. Sharkey's left eye was cut, perhaps by Ruhlin's elbow. and 1t soon filled out. At the close of the round both men were glad to rest.
 long reach made it difficult for Sharkey to get close to his opponent and he relied upon swing ing his left which he got home, shaking Ruh lin up. Sharkey's left, however. began to lack force and the referee had to tell him to close glove. Ruhlin scoring rapidly. getting both hands home. but Sharkey was hard to beat and took his punishment well. He had a hit the best of the round.
 Round 7-Ruhlin working hard. had his op- ponent tired. The excitement ran high and it was evident that only knockout could save Sharkey from defeat.
 Round S-Sharkey tried hopelessly to bring this off. but there was not enough force in the swing of his left and Ruhin taking things easily was we'll in front.
 Round s-Developed much cinching and the referee serious cautioned Sharkey. Ruhlin however. was equally guilty and ''roughed a good deal. but escaped the referees caution It was a hard round and resulted in Ruhlin s favor.
 The tenth round started fast and furious, Sharkey putting splendid right on the mark Ruhlin made the most of the round but shar- key was not to be denied and fought on gamely while Ruhlin wisely kept out of danger.
 At the opening of round II both were full of fight and the exchanges were rapid and vt- cious Sharkey trying to get in knockout. He was punched down repeatedly, but he want ed a lot of punshing to finish him and Ruhlin was too tired to do it. Time after time the latter got in his right on Sharkey's body and his left on his jaw. but without attaining inc desired end Sharkey poled over the ling and was down when the bell sounded and Ruhlin's seconds claimed the fight The ref cree declined to allow their claim, explaining that Sharkey was only knocked down eight seconds before the end of the round SharkeN : seconds. however. threw un the sponge ana Ruhlin was declared the winner

VICTIMS OF THE VOLCANO.
Few of Those Who Perish in an Erup-
 tion Endure Great Torture.

It Is a common mistake that the vic tims of volcanic eruptions suner great pain before death comes to thelr relfel. The fact is that the great majority are not touched by the molten lava or scorched by the showers of fire until after life has been extinguished by other agen- cies. Tho newspaper accounts suggest d. rect burning or overwhelming with the volcanic dust This material is commonly called ashes. but it is not correctly de- scribed by that word; it Is usually rocky matter, finally divided by explosive ac- tion.
 A considerable proportion of the deaths might be due to suffocation by noXtous gases Among such would be carbon d. oxide, commonly called carbonic acid. and sulphurous acid. The former is not actively poisonous and would not be the cause of death unless present in consid- erable proportion, but the latter gas Is hizhly irrespirabe and even small pro- portion will render air so irritating that suflocation must elsue. We nave but meager repo-'ts from those who nave been near enough to great volcanic eruptlons to appreciate the actual conditions. One Of the most famous erupuons In history that of Mount Vesuvius in A. D. 79. has notes left by his uncle. who lost his life In an effort to rescue friend The mar rator states that the death Of the elder Pliny was due to fumes Of sulphur Eveh making allowance for the imperfect ident- ihcation of chemical substances at that early period we may safely assume that by such an expression sulphurous acid was indicated, since this gas was un- doubtedly familiar; indeed, 1t IS mentloned lfs1 in the ''Odyssey'' as a. disinfectant. The Roman writer further adds that the body was untouched by fire.
 In some of the recent renorts from Mar unique specific mention is made of the same suffocating influences. The steam ship Roddam escaped through shower of hot fragments and lost some of her crew by the inhalation of sulphurous gases.
 It may be we'll to note that when dis aster bv fire occur in closed places, suf- location by carbon monoXide and smoke is likely to occur. In this way persons in the gallery of theater may be killed without direct injury by fire or by fall ing timbers.

Many present their tactics were inex- cusable. In the fifth inning wher the score was to in favor of New Orleans. Memphis hatted out three runs Stafford then made vigorous protest to Umpire Cline on decision at first base. A long wrangle ensued between the umpire and Stafford, Freeand and Atz. Finally Atz was put out of the game. Man ager Powell appeared upon the field and the wrangle continued Finally the game started after the New Orleans battery had been completely changed, Shortstop Smith go-
 ing in the box and Herbert behind the bat The remainder of the game was simply bur lesque the part of New Orleans, the vist- tors purpt scly muffirg the ball Frank drove a base hit to center but Stanley refused to field the ball and the Memphian trotted home.

 Good Ball Likely.

At 6 o'clock this morning the Brewton ball team, one of the fastest aggregation in this part of the country, Will cnnlo out of northbound Louisville and Nasn- vile train.
 They come here to play series or three games with the City League teams and all three of the games promise to De pretty hot propositions. There is no doupt that the Brewton bunch has been putting up some exceedingly lively ball-trnz and Frederick allowing between three and five hits a game. It is serious question. however, If when they leave for Brew ton Saturday night they do not take with them food for reflection-that same food staying with them all day Sunday In the pretty little Escambia County metropolis By the same token the locals may be do- ing some stunts fin the thinking line themselves. and by Sunday morning may be sadder but wiser with an abiding re- spect for the prowess of the Brewton ball tosscrs,
 The Gersts will entertain the Brewton people this afternoon, the Millers were to play them tomorrow, but they are not in shape. and the Gersts will do the act again tomorrow, while Saturday the Fall cons will play. Sam Apperius making his first appearance that afternoon. Nolley will be in the box for the Gersts today with Brunette catching him. and if the Brewton people get more than five hits off of him they will do more than has been done this season.
 Fritz and Fritz will probably be the Brewton battery. Fritz has been allowing an average of four hits game and the battle today promises to be hot one.
 The Infirmary Aid Society will have out their score cards which. with their re- treatments. will remind d-timers of the palmy days of league ball.
 The game this afternoon will be called at o'clock sharp, the lineup probably being as follows:
