HAVING "ROAST PIG"
Thieves Cleaning Up the Pigs Around
Bethesda.

1t is well known that there is an eIe-
ment among the "kullud brer" that
occasionally like it's chickens, and
when it becomes necessary to get them
approaches the first nearby "roost"
and goes for it. OF late another del
icacy has tempted the taste of the
colored thief in the vicinity of Be
thesda, and is cleaning up all the
pigs in that end of the county. With
the fashionable "roast pig is a dainty
dish, and the negro apparently does
not intend to be left as long as the
supply of pigs in that section holds
out.
An officer of the Union Society said
yesterday that the raising of hogs at
the orphan house might as we'll be
abandoned, for the thieves are carry
ing them all off. The missing pigs al
ways go at night. The officers have
so far been unable to catch any of the
offenders.

Aldermen.

The city election yesterday was one
of the quietest elections ever held in
Chatham county, and although there
was a squad of patrolmen on duty at
the Court House. not an arrest was
made. There was no disturbance of
any sort, and the voting went merrily
on from the opening to the closing of
the polls.
The total vote cast was a large one,
and as the figures show, there were not
800 votes difference between Mayor
Myers, who led his ticket by nearly
fifty votes, and the last man on the
ticket. The candidates for aldermen
all ran close together, and the leaders
of the Citizens Club were highly
pleased when the result of the count
was made known. They were gratified
at the heavy vote polled, and at the
manner in which the candidates ran.

no time was there much of a crowd
around the Court House the ballots
were cast steadily. 1t was a notice
able fact that quite a number of ne
groes voted during the day. Mayor
Myers and the candidates for alder
men were around the polls on and off
during the day. The faithful collec-
ton of adherents to the Citizens Club
were on deck bright and early and in
a great measure it was due to their
efforts that so large a vote was polled.
At 6:24 o'clock Clerk of Council
Bailey closed the polls. Not a great

Too Cold for HeeIers.
During the early morning hours
mercury was below freezing point and
had there been any opposition the
ward heelers would have suffered. The
weather was unusually severe and the
politicians drew a bloody picture for

III. Il. DUBUC IN IOWA.

The following from the Dubuque
Ia Globe Journal of August / will
be of interest to Montpelier people:
"H. A. Dubuc of Montpelier, VT,
who is one of the delegates to the For
ester convention, is a distant relative
of Julien Dubuc, the founder of this
city. He is descendant of the same
family as the founder of the city, and
his visit here attracts no little alton
ton. The difference in the way he
spells his name from that of the
pioneer who is buried on the hill over
looking the Mississippi near the mouth
of Catfish creek, is due to the fact
that tie grandfather of Julien Du-
buQue changed the way of spelling his
name shortly after arriving IN Canada
from France
"H. A. Dubuc was born in Massa-
chusetts, but removed to the birth
place of his parents in Canada when a
child and lived there until he reached
mans estate, when he went to Mont
pelier, where he is engaged in the coal
and wood business and is also the
president of large contracting firm.
Dubuc is a delegate to the convention
here. but it is doubtful if he would
have come except that he is DESTROYS
of visiting the grave Of his famous
relative after whom city has been
named. During his visit here he will
go down to the spot where the remains
of Julien Dubuque are buried.
Julien Dubuque's grandfather and
his brother came to Quebec from
France in l743 and settled there, said
Mr.. Dubuc when seen at the Julien.
In order to avoid confusion they de-
cided to change the way of spelling
their names. The grandfather of the
founder of your city changed his name
to Dubuque and the other brother re-
tanned the original family name. l
am descendant of the latter, and
Dubuc is the way the name was
spelled in France. Some years ago
Judge Dubuque, Canadian jurist,
traced the family history and discov-
cred that Julien Dubuque was des-
cendant of the we'll known Dubuc
family of France. | have often heard
of my ancestor who founded your city
and have ever been DESTROYS of visit
ing his grave.

FIRE IN C1BOT.

Cabot, Aug. IA. -One of the most
disastrous fires that has visited Cabot
for many years occurred this noon
WHEEL the splendid buildings ON what
is known as the L. @. Fisher farm
were completely destroyed. The build
ings included the house. horse barn
and two other large barns and COM
prised one o. the best sets of farm
buildings in town. The fire caught
from ham smoking outfit near the
shed, the burning barrel communica-
ting the flames to the buildings All
of the household effects and good
many farm tools were saved but a
large quantity of hay was destroyed.
The estimated loss is 81, 600 and the
property was insured in the Vermont
Mutual but the amount of insurance
carried has not as yet been learned.
The farm is occupied by A. II.
Wheeler and it's present owners are
ID. w. Fisher of Rutland and DR.. O..

The Waterman inquired at the office
of the Vermont Mutual concerning
the amount of insurance carried and
learned that the total was $685. but
this did not include household fur
nishings or hay.

Il TIA OK ON FRENCH ARM

The French Socialists seem to have
started carefully planned attack on
the French army, not only from the
general point of view. but from the
more special one of it's administration.
For example, they are attack ing the
bands They want them abolished as
being anachronistic. Soldiers do not
need the incentive of music in modern
battles, and even if they did they
could not get it because of the noise
that is made. Therefore, bands are
used only for display, and display.
say the Socialists, is not worth the
services of 10, 900 men who could be
doing better and more useful work in
the ranks. The custom of officers
using enlisted men as servants is also
attacked. On higher grounds, the
army, or, rather, its utility, is being
attacked Systematically. The Social
lists are again asserting with vigor
that it is folly for France to try to
keep her army equal to Germany's s.
They are criticizing the whole ogran-
ization as costly, archaic and ineffic-
iently bulky.

FOR LABOR DA Y.

At meeting of the Central Labor
Union on Friday evening the subject
of celebrating Labor Day in Mont
pelier was generally discussed. Speak
ing of the meeting to Waterman re-
porter a member of the union said:
"The Central Union of Barre had
extended an invitation to our union to
visit them this year, which at first,
seemed to meet with considerable ia
vor, but, when upon investigation it
was learned that they would not
pledge reciprocal visit here next
year, nor were they disposed to share
with our boys anything other than
the pleasure one might receive from
witnessing their field sports and pat
ronizing their various agencies of
profit, the proposition began to lose
favor and at last it was decided by a
unanimous vote even at this late
hour to put in action agencies to try
and effect celebration here. To this
end committee on arrangements was
elected to further the effort. and we
may now expect to hear of progress in
the movement 1t is self evident that
a fitting celebration of the day is at
tended with considerable care and eX-
pense, but we believe our citizens will
do their part in helping to make the
day pleasurable and profitable to all. "

Co. L, in which many Calais people
enlisted, met in Memorial Hall at
South Calais on Thursday. The bust

from the locality, interested always in
a meeting of the soldiers. Miss Mary
L. Sabin welcomed the visitors and
Rev. Mr.. Dixon made the address.
Refreshments were served at the Hall.
The occasion was an extremely enjoy
able one socially and in "reminiscences
of war time. The president, Lieut..
Foster, enlisted from Calais as pri-
vate in Company [ and held the rank
of first lieutenant when discharged in
1865. He maintains lively interest
both in the affairs of the company and

4 MODERN MIRACLE.

The restoration of speech to Marie
Raguenes of the village of Kerhous,
near Brest, is the topic Of the day in
Brittany. The woman, now forty
years old, lost her voice eighteen years
ago during a fever. She was an or
phan and she went from house to
house in search of work, but for some
time could obtain only an occasional
job. At last a farmer took pity on
her forlorn condition, and engaged
her to look after his cattle. Between
8 and O'Clock on the morning of
July 10, as she was with her cattle in
the field, seated with her hands joined
in prayer for France and Brittany.
she saw an old man approaching.
Becoming alarmed, she rose to her
feet, but the stranger treasured her.
Do not be afraid, my daughter, he
said, Il have not come to do you any
harm, but to briag you the favor for
which you have so often prayed.
restore to you the power of speech. "
Without a moment reflection the
woman exclaimed: "Oh. mon Dicu
Are you the good Lord" No, "
answered the old man, but l come
with mission from him Do not be
pulled up with the mercy you have
just obtained, but pray on and pray
often. as the world is not improving,
but is going from bad to worse. "
Filled with awe, the woman threw
herself on the ground, and when she
had revived her visitor had vanished
She describes him as an old man with
a long white beard, attired in black
overcoat,a hat of the same color much
the worse for wear, patched white
trousers, and shoes which could scarcely
be warranted to keep the mud out.

DEATH or IL. o. THURSTON

Mortified, Aug. IA E. o. Thurs.
ton, aged forty-four, a son of Charles
Thurstou of Randolph and for many
years resident of this town, died at
/. 40 O'Clock this morning of brain
fever after few days illness. Mr..
Thurston came here from Randolph
and for some time occupied portion
of Huntley's store as a jeweller.
Afterwards he began work as clerk for
James M. Clough, the clothier, where
he had done efficient service for ten
years. He had been member of the
Mortified Comet Band for twenty
years and was a prominent worker in
the Universalst church.
Mr.. Thurston is survived by wife
and one daughter, Nina, his father
and sister, Mrs. Adams of Randolph
Centre. He had been a prominent
man in Mortified for so long a time
that he will be much missed by towns
people generally, and especially by
those who were more closely asso-
ciated with him in the building where
he was employed. He was a kind
hearted, genial man with a smile for
all and his death will be generally
regretted. The family will have the
sincere sympathy of all in their afflic-
tion.
The funeral will be held at the
home of S. H. Curtis, his father-in-
law, where he lived, on Sunday after
noon at O'Clock. Rev. Walter Dole
officiating During his illness Mr.
Thurston was attended by Drs. Mayo
and Hurley and everything possible
was done for him.

Il SHORT COURT TERM.

A good story is told of an extremely
brief term of court held in Grand Isle
county by the late Chief Judge Taft.
The court sessions in this island
county are rarely of any considerable
length but the one referred to above
is without doubt the shortest on rec
ord. Judge Taft had the assignment
but as the docket did not promise
enough business to require very long
sitting of the court and as the judge
did not relish the idea of long wait
on the island, ne notified the clerk of
the court to meet him at North Hero
and an accommodating captain held
the boat while the two officials COM
pleted the business of the term, which
was done without leaving the wharf
and the judge completed his Journey.
judge John H. Watson has just re-
turned from North Hero where he pre-
sided at the August term which began
on Tuesday of this week and was COM
pleted on the following day, one di-
vorce case being heard. This brief
session recalls the experience Of Judge
Taft which Judge Watson says is still
a frequent topic of discussion at the
county seat OF Grand Isle.

CKITICISM BY OFFICERS.

Australia is much wrought up over
the case of Col Reay, one of the edit
ors of the Melbourne Herald and its
war correspondent in South Africa,
also colonel of the Victorian Mounted
Rifles. A series of military articles
in the Herald gave offense to Gen. Sir
e. Hutton, commander of the forces
in Australia. He called on Col. Reay
to tell him the name of the author of
the articles to ask him how far he was
responsible for their insertion. and
whether he did not regret their APP
pearance. Dol. Reay refused to an
swer any of the questions, whereupon
he was relieved of his command. COL
Reay applied to be retired, with per-
mission to retain his rank and wear
his uniform. These requests were de-
MED. The question was taken into
Parliament, and Gen Hutton was Sc
verely criticized for his action and his
decision was overruled.

SLIGHT ACCIDENT.

John Fl Senter met with an accident
Friday evening which owing to chance,
did not prove very serious. Mr. Sem
ter was crossing the road on State
street very nearly in front of the post.
Office and was going in the direction
of that building when B. B. Bailey's
team, going down the street at fair
ly fast rate of speed, ran into him be-.
fore he could get out of the way. The
thill of the carriage struck him on
the right side and threw HIM to the
ground violently. Fortunately he had
large pocket book in his inside pock-
ct and the thill struck directly on This
protecting his side from the sharp
of the bar. Had he not had the book
in his pocket it is quite likely that the
thill might have entered his body and
the wound proved serious. He was
taken to mis- home on Loomis street in
a team. and although badly bruised,
he was able to be about the streets the
next day.
