COUNTY COURT.

County court is experiencing the
utmost difficulty in getting started and
at the opening of the morning session
today could not find case for trial
out of the first twenty five cases on
the jury calendar. When the grand
jury was sworn this morning it was
discovered that A. A. Bliss of Calais
was disqualified to sit upon the jury
having served as petit juryman
within two years w. f.. Adams of
this city was drawn as talesman to
fill the vacant seat. The docket is be-
ing cut down in every possible way,
dozens of cases being discontinued and
otherwise disposed of. Many cases
set for trial will doubtless be carried
over, not being ready. Several cases
have been referred. The case of G..
S. Blaisdell v. d. o. Watts for SANDER
was called for trial this morning but
| will be taken up this afternoon.
| Court took recess until two O'Clock
his afternoon, it being impossible to
| find case ready for trial.
AFTERNOON.
Court came in promptly at two
o. o'clock this afternoon and the first an
nouncement was to the effect that the
case of Blaisdell V. Watts for SANDER
had been settled and the court ordered
it discontinued Considerable time
was passed in continuing cases that
of Gordon V. Gauthier, trespass, be-
ing discontinued without cost to either
party. The case, Moody & Minard,
V. Frank f. Donahue and G.. E. Moody,
IT., was settled and discontinued. At
this writing no cases had been brought
forward for trial. The main reason
why there is lack of business for the
court to transact is because all attor.
neys had evidently banked upon the
McKinstry V. Collins case occupying
two weeks time and believed it would
come at the opening of court thus Civ
ng them time to prepare their cases
later.
After consulting with the assistant
judges Thursday Judge Watson excus-
Tuesday morning. The grand jury is
at work Judge Edgerton opened
court at nine o'clock this morning but
no business was transacted. The cases
of Phelps V. Knott & Closson and
Fits V. Knott e. Closson were passed
Thursday afternoon for the present.
r. w. Taft of Burlington appeared
for defendants.
Hardly had the first wave of excite
ment over election returns subsidized
before the September term of Wash
ington county court opened with
Judge Watson presiding. Assistant
Judges Edgerton and Huntley were
both present. There was a large at.
tendance of members of the bar OF
Washington county. The forenoon was
spent in calling the docket The first
two cases set for trial are State V.
Jesse B. Norton, bigamy; and State
V. Alex Glennie, embezzlement. The
case of Morris McKinstry V. O. r.
Collins and B. H. Lowell, assault, was
continued on terms that the plaintiff
pay defendant $25. The struck jury
in the case was excused and paid

LUCKY OIL STRIKE.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 5,-Advices just
received i'll Omaha say that an analy-
sis of oil from the JAEGER well, in
Uinta county, Wyo., made by State
Geologist Knight, disclosed the pres
ence of more than two gallons of rhig-
olene to barrel Of oil. At the pres
ent market price of rhigolene this
would make the oil worth about $l2
per barrel. Rhigolene was first dis
covered twenty years ago, and with the
exception of cymogene, is the most
volatile liquid known, 1t evaporates
at GA degrees, and is used in surgical
operations, though, on account of its
high price, only sparingly. From the
pennsylvania and Ohio oils it has
been possible to distill it, but only in
very small quantities

SECRET SERVICE MEN

The secret serv fcemen, who accom-
panied the President upon his visit to
Montpelier found no danger present.
Two arrived in Barre and two in this
city on last Friday evening. At the
State House three incidents occurred,
which momentarily aroused the suspic-
ions of the secret service men. While
the President was in the State treas
urer's office, man was noticed to be
lettering in the shadow of the oppo-
site corridor with one hand concealed
beneath his coat A secret service
man investigated, only to find one of
our most reputable citizens who desir-
ed to get glimpse of the President
but was too modest too join the group
about the office While the President
was making his address a suspicious
looking man was observed directly in
front of the stand with his right hand
concealed behind his sombrero hat
which he held in his left hand. The
man was Immediately placed under
the close surveillance of officers,
without being conscious of the fact.
He finally dropped his hat and it was
seen he had nothing but a handker-
chief in the concealed hand. A secret
service man, also, while the President
was speaking, caught young man
trying to enter the State House by a
rear window but became satisfied the
fellow had no other motive except
curiosity and he was taken to the lines
and let go. All this goes to show
that every movement of the President
while travelling is guarded as much as
is possible from probable danger, and
by trained experts.

THE MEMBER FROM MIDDLE
BURY.
Mr.. Battell in the City His Purpose
in the Matter of Liquor Legislation.

Mr. Battell in the City His Purpose
i'll the Matter of Liquor Legislation.
Joseph Battell of Middlebury, pro-
prietor of the Middlebury Register,
was at the Pavilion this morning
where he was interviewed by a Jour
nal reporter as to whether he intend
ed to introduce bill at the coming
session of the Legislature which
would embody the views uponl liquor
legislation he has advocated in his
newspaper namely, the dispensary
system which is in force in certain
sections of the South Mr. Battell
said that he believed that was the
proper way to regulate the traffic,
but he should confer with those hav-
ing III charge the drafting of the pro-
posed bill regarding the sale of liquor,
and that he should do all in his power
to devise fair, square and equable
measure, one that the people of Yer
mont would be willing to accept.

SEMINARY FOOTBALL TEAM.

Montpelier Seminary intends to have
a strong football team, this year, or
rather, two teams, since the number
good men available is a large one.
Practice.has been taking place on the
campus every night since school COM
menced. Lee Whitney, who was elect
ed captain by last years team, expects
to pilot on to victory the fastest team
that has represented the school in re-
cent years. \ large number of the old
men are back and trying for their old
positins Gordon and Howard as
guards; Richardson and Marvin as
tackles; Whitney as quarterback
Tebbets, who played on the '99 and
100 teams, but who did not play last
year, will probably play center this
season. A large number are trying
for the ends, but no particular ones
have been spoken of as sure of those
positions, yet, AS Hamilton is not
coming back there is a vacancy at
full, which Scott of Thetford, who
has not yet arrived, will probably fill.
Other new men are expected, some
of whom may make the old ones hus-
tie to keep their positions. Whatever
the final decision may be, as to who
shall play and what positions they
will fill, we may rest assured that
this year s team will be winner.

The World Work for September is
full of interesting and important
things, notable among which is the
