TRAFFIC PARTIALLY RESUMED
Trolley Car Line No. Yet Entirely
Open.

Traffic on the lines of the Burlington
Traction company and on the Military
Post road was partially resumed ycster-
day. after being blocked an entire day
on account of the severe snow storm A
large force Of men was at work all We'd
nesday night cleaning the tracks and
even then only succeeded In making a
portion of the line available for usv yes
terday. The rotary sweeper was at work
all the time and in addition one Of the
old horse cars was brought out and
drawn along the line by horses, this being
necessary because of the peculiar charaC-
ter of the storm. which caused short
circuit. thereby divorting the current and
making the successful operation Of the
sweeper impossible at some points.
Tho cars on the Essex line went only
as far as the Porter screen works in
Winooski yesterday, while those on the
North avenue line were operated only a
portion OF the distance. The main line
to Winooslii was In operation all day and
the cars ran on good time, BY to-day the
lines will all be cleared.

to leave "A dozen animDs without food or

In response to n request from the Hon.

has been 50 much said in favor of the new
law by its friends through the press and
on the public platform, and as strongly
deprecated and opposed by its many OPP
ponents through the same mediums, that
there is no need of my going to any length
in giving you an expression OF my convic-
tons. You would prefer to know where
stand personally.

other inquiring friend. | am not in favor
of the new law. ! do not believe that /,
will be for the best interests of Vermont
to license the open bar for the sale of dis
titled liquors as II beverage. Many of my
friends of New York and Massachusetts
have advised me keep the saloon out OF
Vermont as long as YOU can" If / have
any knowledge of Vermont and Vermont
ers, ! may fairly predict. that the vote no
will be 50 large that the next Legislator,
will be obliged to take a middle course

BEER ORDERED RETURNED
No Owners In Burlington Had Appear.
ed to Clain,It

The beer which was seized by Sheriff
Horton at a car in the Rutland freight
yard several weeks ago was Friday
ordered returned To the Quandt Brewing
CO., of Troy, y. y. who appeared at the
hearing through their attorneys, Il. T.
Brown and Y. \, BullarG, as the owners.
The beer was ordered returned as the
case was similar to ones that have been
determined by the United States Supreme
Court and involved the interstate COM
mercc law
The supreme court has held that bcor
shipped from one state to another iS the
property of the Consignor until it Is de-
ivered by the railroad 70 the consignce
and that ii Is in transit until so delivered
and Is therefore not SUBJECT to tho Safe
laws until it is delivered. The testimony
in the ease on trial here showed that no
owner had appeared in Burlington for
the beer, and even with the claim of the
company that the beer should have been
shipped to Houses Point instead OF Bur
lngton laid aside, the attorneys claimed
that the state officials had no right to
seize the goods.

SCRAP AT MEDICAL COLLEGE
It Was Battle Royal In Which Each
Side Claims a Victory.

The scrap which was reported recently
as the worst in the history Of the instltu-
ton, was but child's play in comparison
with the one which took place Thursday
morning. The freshmen not being salts
fled with their treatment rcceiN ut the
hands of the sophomorcs last week at
tempted to force an entrance at the body
of the pit which was ably defended by the
rugged soDhomorea. During the first -
minutes the flashing colOrs of the fresh
men : and sophomore s new sweaters, under
wear, etc, were seen floating in the atmos-
pherc OF the amphitheatre. On seeing that
the freshmen We're being worstcd the
roper classmcn tried to encourage them
by cheers and directions for action. But
leforc the fight closed many freshmen
we're passed from the amphitheatrc
Gown the back stairs several times. AL
though the freshmen outnumbercd the
aophonorcs, the new Corners finally took
the rear seats. which custom has assigned
them. This did not occur. however, until
fully 40 minutes of lively scufiing had
taken place. Vests. coats. sweaters and
garments of many descriptions but all in
remnants, glasses and even teeth belong
ing 10 mcmbers of both classes were left
To the kindly care OF the janitor.
The freshman side of the scrap is
slightly different from the sophomore
story, outlined above. In brief the first
year men claim to not only have held
the front seats long enough to cntitlc
them to a victory but to have carried out
the front way as many big sophomores
as there were freshmen put ont the back
way; and claim further that tho third
AMI fourth year men declare them the
winners. They recognize the fact that
custom has assigned them the rear seats
and are willing to bow to the custom.

they can hold the front seats If they
choose to do SO.
FROM THE SIDE LINES.
