MIspeEps AND PENALTIES.

G. S. Kimball's meat market al
Mortified was entered on the night
of the 2lst and the cash register con
tanning 40 cents distracted. The post
Office was also burglarized. The
amount taken there is not stated.
II. c. Gilbert OF Waterbury, who
had been convicted in Montpelier city
court OF furnishing intoxicating liquor
10 a habitual drunkard, was sentenced
July p 10 not less than three months
and not more than three months and
six days in the house of correction at
Rutland. Mr.. Gilbert was the first
man to be convicted in the Montpelier
city court for furnishing under the Ii
cense law. Charles Childs of More
town and James Turner OF Morrisville
were also convicted of a similar ofiense
and received a like sentence. All
were taken 10 Rutland.
William Wright was in Barre city
court July 20 on the charge of bur
glary, 1t being alleged that he had
been stealing liquor from the store
house OF the Aqua Pura company for a
week or more. When arrested Wright
was in a bad state OF intoxication.
! Being arraigned he waived examina-
ton and was bound over to county
court, bail being fixed at $500. He
was placed in the county jail as he
was unable to furnish the amount.
The police say that Wright was of a
peculiar philanthropic turn in that he
took the stuff and then made a divis-
ion among his friends.
A Montpelier woman horsewhipped
another at the corne OF State and Main
streets in the heart OF the city Satur-
day night, July IS. She grabbed the
whip out of the socket as a carriage
containing a female occupant was
driving by, and applied it with such
vigor over the head and shoulders of
the person in the carriage that the
latter cried with pain. The noise OF
the whip frightened the horse SO that
il pulled the woman away from the
blows rained down on her. The irate
female then gripped the whip in her
hand and made her escape before she
could be identified. The affair hap
pened at 9 o'clock and vas witnessed
by a dozen lei who were standing on
the street corner, but it was over be-
fore they realized what was taking
place.
The house Of United States District
Attorney j.. L. Martin in Brattleboro
was burglarized July % and a gold
watch valued at $40 and a clock worth
81 were stolen. The watch was the
property OF Mr.. Martins daughter,
Margaret, and the clock belonged to
Margaret's sister, Helen. Both articles
were on bureaus in different rooms
upstairs. When Miss Helen went TO
her room at 3 80 o'clock her clock was
missing, and a search throughout the
house failed to reveal it. When Miss
Margaret went TO her DON she found
that her watch had disappeared. The
girl who is employed in the family
said that during a heavy rain in the
forenoon she saw three women on the
piazza. They looked like peddlers
and she supposed they were on the
piazza to get out Of the rain. During
that time all the members OF the fam
lily were away.
Frank II. Porter of Middletown
Springs, who was arrested at that
place, June 4, on a warrant charging
him with larceny and placed in the
house of correction, where he had
been confined, was arraigned
City Judge Willis NJ. Ross OF
Rutland at the house of correction
July 81 at his own request. He plead
ed guilty to the charge of grand lar
ceny and was sentenced to serve not
more than Is or less than II months in
the house of correction. Porter's wife,
who was arrested with him, charged
with the same crime, is still confined
the house of correction, and it is
probable that nothing will be done
with her case until the September
.crm of the county court. The crime
or which Porter was arrested was the
stealing of several hundreds of dollars
worth of goods of all descriptions
rom the Montvert hotel, the theft be-
NO committed during the winter
while the hotel was closed.
