Led Vermont at Gettysburg.

Col. Stephen F. Brown. an old resi-
dent of Swanton. died of heart failure
Tuesday night. He was a veteran OF
the Civil war enlisting as private, but
elected first lieutenant in Co. K. 18th
VT Inf. This regiment was part of
General Stannard's brigade and took a
conspicuous part in the battle of Get
tysburg. Captain Brown had been un-
der arrest upon some formal charge of
disobedience of orders and his sword
had been given up according to mill
tary custom. But he could not be kept
out Of action and in the counter charge
on Pickett's brigade. on the third day,
Captain Brown led his men with a
common camp hatchet, and with this
weapon. he captured a confederate Off
Ger, retaining the latter's sword and
pistol as trophies. During this battle
Captain Brown was injured on the
head by conclusion from the explosion
Of a shell. while aiding a wounded COM
rade. His exploit in leading his men
with a hatchet is eommemorated in a
statue on the 18th Vermont monument
erected on the field Of Gettysburg. He
afterward lost an arm in the battle Of
the Wilderness

The Lectures at Mortified.

The series of lectures nov being
given at Mortified by some OF the
speakers of the Northfield general con-
ference, continues with unabated in
terest. Although Dr. G. Campbell Nor
gan has finished his talks on the
Grace of God" and has already set sail
for England, Prof. James Orr. of the
Free Church college, Glasgow, and Rev.
w. H. Griffith Thomas of London. are
still holding the attention of the North
field visitors. The subject of Prof. Orr's
remarks is The Bible in the light of
recent discoveries in Babylon, Assyria,
and Egypt" He discusses these dis
coveries from the point of view of an
orthodox Christian and his specula-
tions are principally conservative ref
utation of the more advanced theories.
He is, however. in close sympathy with
research work, and a careful student Of
aeologists. Alternating with Prof. Orr,
Rev. w. H. Griffith Thomas is lecturing
on different aspects of Bible study,
dealing mainly with methods in the
study of the New Testament. He is
scheduled to speak twice at Northfield,
Sunday. Sept 13, and in the meantime
is taking part in the daily chapel ex-
ercises of Northfield seminary. The
clear, September days and the beauti-
full foliage of the mountain sides are
still proving attractive to the guests of
The Mortified and to the other visitors
of the little New England town.

Indictments in Postoffice Cases.

The federal grand jury at Washing
ton has returned seven indictments in
postal cases. involving six different
persons. One of these persons is
George. W. Beavers, formerly chief of
the division of salary and allowances.
Another is August W. Machen, in a
new set of facts, involving him with
Beavers The charge is conspiracy.
The officials refuse to disclose the
names of the other four persons but it
is said that none of them had been
connected with the postoffice depart
ment and that one man is a man of
some prominence. The climax will
come shortly when a person not con-
nected with the department, but equal
ly as we'll known as the postmaster
general, undoubtedly will be indicted
for completely in the postoffice frauds.

SHOT DEAD FROM AMBUSH
MONTPELIER MAN MURDERED ON
HIS WAY HOME.
A Neighbor Who Was an Enemy Ar

stances of the Affair.

| Peter Vorren, aged IS, farmer, was
| shot down in cold blood in East Mont
pelier at 10 o'clock Tuesday night as
he was going home with load Of
| wood. His murderer lay in ambush
behind fence in lonely spot, and as
Vorren walked behind his team fired
the fatal charge, tearing a gaping
wound over his heart. Vorren stag
gered few steps, gasping and clutch
ing his breast, then dropped to the
ground, expiring in a few minutes.
The murdered mans 11-year-old son
sat on the load of wood and saw the
murderer behind the fence, but the
moonlight did not reveal his features.
B. Croteau. az neighbor of Vorren,
was arrested on suspicion. although the
evidence against him is circumstan-
tial. 1t is said that the men We're en-
emies, Croteau believing that vorren
had poisoned his drinking water and
vegetables so as to make members of
his family sick, and it is reported that
he told the officers if they did not pros
ecute Vorren he would take the law
into his own hands
Vorren has a wife and eight children,
the last one having been born Satur-
day night. The murder was commit
ted almost within sight of the house
and when the wife was told of the
murder by the son, she left her bed and
started for the scene, but swooned and
had to be carried back to the house.
The neighbors were summoned and a
posse of six men started for the scene.
All Vorren's neighbors were present
except Croteau. Croteau is now con-
fined in Washington county Jail. He
is 50 years of age and married. Both
men are French Canadians. The mat
ter has been brought before the grand
jury and a bill will probably be re-
ported Immediately and trial had at
the present term of Washington
County court.
Croteau's house has been searched
and three guns and a revolver were
found. One, double barreled shotgun,
had one barrel empty and dirty as
though recently fired. The wadding in
the other barrel was similar to some
found by the roadside where the mur-
der took place and the shot to that
found in Verron's body. Mrs. Croteau
and her 19-year-old son assert that
Croteau was in bed at the time of the
shooting.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
Joel Gaines's Valuable Barn and Con-
tents in GuiIford Burned.

The large new barn of Joel Gaines
and son Everette in Guilford was
burned early Tuesday evening with all
its contents except fifteen cows which
were driven out with much difficulty.
! The horses were fortunately in another
building. There was probably fifty tons
of hay burned also one heavy truck on
which was a load of rowen drawn in
that afternoon, a quantity of potatoes
newly dug, a tedder, horse hoe. Wheel
harrow. dump cart and many other
farming implements The fire was dis
covered by Mrs. EVeratte. Gaines who
had just returned from a drive to Brat
tleboro and had passed by the barn
not fifteen minutes before. She saw,
from the window the flames streaming
through the cracks in the side towards
the house. The whole upper part of
the building seemed a seething mass of
flames in an instant and the slate was
cracking from the roof. Joel Gaines
went in haste to save the COWS and had
got two of them out when his son who
had gone to a neighbor's reached home
in response to call by telephone, and
released the, other animals. About so
men soon came from all directions and
rendered all the assistance possible in
saving other buildings. The house
stands only about six rods distant from
the scene of the fire and it was close
call. The barn was built six years
ago. and was three stories high with
cellar and all the modern conven-
fences. No lantern had been carried
there for three days; there was not a
man on the place who smokes and it
appears as if il must have been the
work of an incendiary. This is the
fourth mysterious fire in this locality
since the first of May, all of which
have been very serious losses, that Of
Joseph A. Stebbins on Aug. is, where
six valuable horses and eleven COWS
perished, being the worst.

Four Christians and seven Mussulmans
were killed and 20 wounded. Two
Christian houses were pillaged. The
