the bold boncoing methods of the ship

asks:

A non-union Man Assaulted.

Sidney Winch. a non-union machin-
list at the Lincoln Iron works, where
there has been strike on since early
last spring, was brutally assaulted by
two unknown men Jan. 2lst at his
home in Rutland.
Winch went to Rutland a few
months ago from Boston with his wife
and from his story has not had par
ticularly pleasant time since. The
climax was reached the 2lst when at
6 80 o'clock as he was ascending the
steps OF his home on Nlckwacketi
street he was assailed from behind, as
he SAYS. by two men. One grabbed
his collar and pulled him back while
the other began 70 punch him. Winch
struck out. broke away and started to
run for the back door. The men fol
lowed. dragged him back and on to
the ground and then kicked him in the
face. His assailants finally became
alarmed by some one passing and ran
away
Winch did not know either OF them
although he has good descriptions and
says he could identify them. He
thinks they were sympathizers of the
machinists who are out, although he
does not think they were actually
strikers.

Beginning February 1, the fare on
the electric railroad between Montpel
Ter and Barre will be ten cents instead
of five cents, the present rate. The
fare to points inside the city limits Of
Barre or Montpelier will remain five
cents, and no change will be made al
present in the workingmen's and
school children's tickets. The direc-
tors deem this necessary because OF
the advance in wages recently granted
to the men. They claim that at the
present rate OF fare it is impossible to
make both ends meet owing to the in
creased cost of operation. A similar
change was made two years ago but
because the travel went largely to the
steam roads on account of the increase
in fare it was put back to five cents.
Principal Davenport of Montpelier
Seminary has received letter notify
ing him that the seminary is in a fair
way TO receive the sum OF $4,000 to
be added to the endowment fund. The
money is not available yet but GER
tain New England philanthropist,
whose name is withheld, has announc-
ed that in his will a certain portion OF
his estate has been allotted to Mont
pelier seminary. The exact amount is
uncertain, but it is known that 1t will
approximate the above mentioned
sum. The Preachers Aid society OF
the Methodist church in Vermont is al
so a beneficiary of the will to the ex-
tent of about $4,000. All the infor-
nation that can be obtained is that the
benefactor is a New Englander of adj

The beer which was seized by Sheriff
Horton at a car in the Rutland freight
yard, Burlington, several weeks ago,
was the 23d ordered returned to the
Quandt Brewing Co., of Troy, n. T.,
who appeared at the hearing through
their attorneys, r. +. Brown and V. A.
Bullard, as the owners. The beer was
ordered returned as the case was simi-
lar to ones that have been determined
by the United States supreme court
and involved the Interstate commerce
law. The supreme court has held that
beer shipped from one state to another
is the property of the consignOr until
il is delivered by the railroad to the
consignee and that il is in transit I'M
iii so delivered and is therefore not
subject to the state laws until it is de-
livered. The testimony in the case on
trial showed that no owner had APP
peared in Burlington for the beer, and
even with the claim of the company
that the beer should have been shipped
to Rouses Point instead of Burlington
laid aside, the attorneys claim that the
state officials had no right to seize the
goods.

Raids at MONTPELIER.

Sheriff G.. b. Evans and several OF
his deputies late in the afternoon Jan.
n made calls at few places in Mont
pelier which had been suspected OF
selling liquor, armed with warrants
for search and seizure of all contra
band liquid goods. Five places were
raided but at only one of these did the
officers find anything which they
thought was beyond the permissible
two per cent in strength.
They were successful when they
dropped into Frank l.. Huntington's
pool room. There in closet opening
ont of the main room they found a
half barrel nearly full OF ale and at
once took possession of 1t.
Huntington admitted that the stuff
found was ale but said he had il for
his own private use. After he made
this claim the State, represented by
Burton Z. Bailey, put in the testimony
OF the officers as to the conditions
under which the ale was found. Mr..
Huntington refused TO have counsel
but insisted under oath that the ale
was for mis- private use. The court,
however. rendered Judgment. con-
demning the liquor, ordering II spilled
and Mr.. Huntington to pay the costs
of the search, amounting to S5.9l.
Huntington took appeal from this de
cision and furnished bond for costs
in the sum of 500 signed by himself
and Edward Gill.

RECENT DEATHS.

Thomas Higgins, aged 80, an EN-
ployee of the Rutland railroad at Rut-
land died suddenly on Wednesday
morning. the 21st, while on his way to
attend a funeral at ST. Peters church
in that city. He stopped a car. walked
short distance and fell. lie was
picked up unconscious and died in five
minutes. Physicians say that concns-
sion of the brain as the result OF the
fall caused his death.
The community at South Woodstock
was profoundly shocked by the dis
covery, about Il o'clock Sunday, the
18th, of Ransom Reynolds, dead and
frozen in his COW stables. 1t appears
that the last seen OF Mr.. Reynolds be-
fore that time was when he talked
with Friend r. Fletcher Saturday after
noon, and seemed to be in his normal
condition, physically and mentally.
About Is minutes later he was seen to
90 with his milk pail to the barn.
When found the next forenoon by
Frank Thomas, who noticed the stable
door swinging, he was sitting upon
his milking stool, leaning back
against the wall, and with the pail at
his side. as though he had been sud
denly afflicted with heart failure, fallen
back against the wall and expired.
Mrs. Reynolds had gone TO Burlington,
to visit her daughter, Mrs. G +. Gard
ner, which accounts for the fact that
Mr.. Reynolds remained so long in the
barn undiscovered

Magic in Barre.

There was much excitement in Barre
growing out OF the trial of Arthur
Buzzell. Tom Suitor, Richard Willett
and William Hyland for nuisance last
week.
Tuesday, the second day of the trial,
the whiskey seized in a lunch room on
Depot square January and placed in
the city storage room was found re-
moved from a cask and replaced by
water. The entire police force and
one special officer were suspended by
Mayor Meleher.
The prosecution went to produce a
sample of the whiskey and drew out a
bottle OF milky fluid from the barrel
having neither the color taste nor
appearance of whiskey, in fact it had
no taste whatever and appeared to be
water charged with gas.
Deputy Shepard and other officers
testified under oath that the cask con-
tanned whiskey when placed in storage
as they had all tried it. When the
cask was put away by officers they
marked it so as to be able to identify
it, They drew a milky fluid from the
same cask Tuesday.
The whiskey was kept in room
under the city hall, which has only
two keys kept by Judge Fay and JAN
itor c.. Z. Jones, who is one of the
suspended officers.
One or two officers testified they
had visited the room since the raid ;
the janitor had also.
The case was on trial five days and
the defense succeeded in proving that
the cask contained dish water when il
was removed from the defendants
premises.

SWOLLEN FINGERS
AND PAINFUL JOINTS CAUSED BY
RHEUMATISM.
A Severe Case at Gambia, NH, Cured
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.

"A few years ago" says Mrs. F. d. Rowe
of Gambia, N. H., "when | had been suffer
ing the agonies of rheumatism for two
years, found relief in DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Before | tried this
remedy my fingers we're swollen and all
my joints panied me terribly. The disease
affected my stomach so that / became
troubled with Indigestion and eonstipa-
ton, my nervous system became unstrung
and i found myself melancholy and mo-
rose and in generally miserable condi-
ton. And all the time / was in pain from
the rheumatism.
An account in the paper of a person
cured of troubles like mine by DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, led me to try them, and
before the first box was all taken the pain
and soreness seemed better. A few boxes
more drove the rheumatism away and now
feel we'll. My husband also took this
medicine for rheumatism with gratifying
results"
The real cause OF rheumatism is the
presence of acid in the blood, which irri-
tates the sensitive tissues that unite the
Joints and cover the muscles, thus causing
those indescribable fortunes which rheu-
matte sufferers endure. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People go directly to
the seat of the trouble, purifying and en-
riching the blood by eliminating poison
GUS elements and renewing health-givIng
forces, thus making potent remedy for
curing this disease.

was formerly known, but which is now
called The Strong, which was recently
purchased by j. J. and j. +. Whalen

Sunday morning and the new brick
front which was partially completed
was greatly damaged, entailing loss
estimated at $4,000. The cause OF

be due to spontaneous combustion,
originating in the room where the
painters kept their supplies. The
large hall in the armory was occupied

The fire alarm sounded shortly after
3 o'clock in Montpelier Saturday after
noon, calling the department to Christ
Episcopal church on State street, where
brisk blaze was in progress near the
furnace, and before the call OUT was
sounded at 8 o'clock Saturday evening
only the four walls ofthis commOdious

coasters Hurt In RutIand

One boys arm broken so that the
bone protruded. another's arm and
knee horribly battered and bruised,
and the clothes OF half a dozen other
lads stripped from their bodies and
torn in tatters are the results Of a
coasting accident on "Gougers" Hill in
Rutland at about 8 o'clock Sunday
evening. The two boys worst injured
are Fred Howard of Allen street, aged
Is years, and Harry Merritt OF Mer-
chants Row. aged IS years, respec-
lively. With IS other boys they were
coasting on a traverse when they
struck sleigh driven by one Consid-
inc of Woodstock avenue.
Considine was driving down the
hill and the boys say that they did not
start their sled until they had given
him ample time to drive on and get
out of the way. The traverse was in
an icy track and it could not be divert
ed from the destruction which lay be-
fore it. When the accident was APP
parent, the boys set up series OF
blood-curdling yells, but Considine
would not leave the middle of the
road. The traverse was going at a
terrific speed and striking the sleigh
squarely completely demolished il.
The coasters were thrown in every di-
rection.
The hill has had a bad name and for
several years after a peculiarly serious
accident that occurred there some 20
years ago was stunned by all the
youths. Az that time in a coasting ae-
cident one man was killed, another
made insane and the eyes and teeth OF
many others gouged out.
