the house with the above result. He
was arrested and taken before the
Squire there. She came down here
ard said she understood that the au-
thorities were going to release him, so
she made an affidavit before Esquire
VanCiesel in case he was released there
He was arrested and given a hearing
before the Squire there, who held him
in $500 bail for his appearance at court.

KING EDWARD is ILL
EngIand's Ruler Took a Chill While
Viewing Torchilqht Procession.

viewing Iorchlight procession.
London, June licking Edward is
suffering from a chill, which has pre-
vented him from attending yesterdays
church parade Of the Aldershot garri-
son. The chill came as a result of the
l;RE'E prolonged stay outdoors on Sat
Lrday night upon the occasion of the
torchlight tattoo at Aldershot. The
chill is a slight one, accompanied by
symptoms of lumbago.
The weather Saturday night was ex-
tremely cold, and it rained at intervals
before their majesties left the brigade
ground. King Edward returned to his
apartments chilled from the unwOnted
exposure. These reports of his males.
tvs illness have naturally caused ap-
prehension, but there is apparently no
reason to anticipate serious results.
Plot to Kill King Edward7
London, June ia sensational
| story was current in London last night
of the discovery of a plot to assassi
nate King Edward. This story has
created considerable discussion il
newspaper and other circles, but it is
lacking in anything like official con
fiTmation
According to the current report
King Edwards sudden illness at al
dershot was not due to a cold. but wal
merely an excuse for withdrawing hi
majesty from public functions, Owini
to the discovery by Scotland Yard o
a plot against his life. The principal
in this plot have not yet been arrest
ed. 1t is cited in confirmation of thi
story that King Edwards recover
when he was ensconsed at Windso
Castle was as complete as his attac
had been sudden.
On the other hand, it must be poin
ed out that King Edwards journe
from Aldershot to Windsor in his mi
tor car and his subsequent drive ye
teTday in Windsor Park do not seem
indicate any fear of a violent attac
upon his person.

A BATTING CARNIVAL.
Durham Brothers Team Lined Out
Fl Hits With Total Of "a and De-
feated Catholic Union is to 6.

All balls looked alike to the Durham
Brothers aggregation Saturday and they
looked like easy fruit, for In seven
innings they banged Clunes swift ones
and slow ones and other kinds all over
the lot, fattening their batting averages
with q hits with a total of "a. 1t was
the biggest batting carnival of the sea-
son. The veteran Stowell made two two
baggers and a home run the first three
times up and afterward shot out clean
single, but was called out for batting out
of position. Allen found the ball for
two singles, double and triple; Stolte
and C. Ellis for two doubles and single
each; l.. Ellis for two singles and double
Reed three singles and Butterneld two
singles.
The Union players had the sympathy
of a large part of the crowd, who hoped
to see them win and thus have first
place a tie. The wearers of the green
and white started off at a rafting clip.
The first ball which Ellis pitched was a
swift one over the centre of the pan and
Bean caught 1t squarely on his bat for
the prettiest hit of the season, into the
bushes between centre and right fields, a
home run beyond cavil. Three errors
by Durham Brothers, two hits and three
stolen bases gave the Union three more
scores.
"The've had their little fun and It is
to the bench and he proved a true pro-
phet, for in the next five innings the
Union got only one single and not score.
In the seventh an error gave Bean life
and he stole second and third and came
home On Riley's hit. In the ninth two
errors advanced Riley and D. Aher's hit
brought him home. In the meantime
Durham Brothers men had been having
a continuous merry go-round, scoring in
every inning until the eight, when they
went out in quick order after oliver and
Kaine came between the points.
The Union brought out new star in
Kaine. the Loyola College boy who has
just returned from Montreal. where he
is catcher On the college team. No
prettier fielding has been seen this sea-
son than his work at third base in this
game. His throws were quick, swift
and accurate. Bean and Stolte accepted
some hard chances, but in a general way
the game was featureless in fielding

a house occupied by Edward Baker,
Winter street, Montpelier, was badly
damaged last night by fire. A kerosene
stove exploded, ignlting the contents of
fve-gallon oil can. The house was
owned by the Thomas Marvin estate.
A despatch from Montpelier states that
the state will soon receive $3.50, 600 for
civil war claims against the United States
government. An expert in the treasury
department has recently investigated the
record and claims on file at the Capitol.
The treasury statement for June is
sued Tuesday, closes the fiscal year 1902,
and shows that the cash balance has
grown beyond S2OS OOO 600, perhaps the
largest surplus ever held by the treasury.
The increase since June l was $13, 223 $50,
and the excess of receipts over expendi-
lures during the month was nearly SIC

NEW SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.
Col. n. e. Taylor of Brattleboro and
M. r. Lawrence of Rockingham are
Prominently Mentioned.


Developments since last week in
dictate contention for the senatorial
nominations in the Republican county
convention. to be held at Newfane next
Tuesday July 8. The name of Col.
II. Il. Taylor of Brattleboro is being
prominently mentioned. Col. Taylor,
when asked in regard to his candidacy
stated that the matter would simply
rest with the delegates from Brattle-
boro. It is understood that he will
have the support of large part of the
Brattleboro delegates, and probably
also, of the delegates from Rocking
ham, Putney, Dummerston and other
towns. He would appear now to be
a formidable rival against c. d. Spen-
Ger of Wilmington, who appeared to
have a clear field until within a few
days. Mr., Spencer had the unanimous
endorsement of the Republican caucus
held in his own town. Mr.. Spencer is
a pronounced prohibitionist, but,
realizing the situation as it exists, has
expressed himself as in favor of re-
ferendum as recommended by the
Republican state platform. 1t is un-
derstood that the local option men of
the county think that his views are
not sufficiently pronounced for the
cause which they favor.
In the northern district, NJ. r. Law
renee. substantial farmer of Rock
ingham, is being brought forward as
a candidate against J. L. Divoll of the
same town. 1t is said that the faction
in Rockingham which supported Mr.
Clement in the state campaign will en-
deavor to control the caucus in that
town. and will probably support Mr.
Lawrence.

A SUSTAINING Diet.
