BRISTOW PREPARING TO
PRESENT SEVERAL NEW CASES.
Postmaster General Payne had a long
conference with Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter Bristow this evening in the latter's of
flee. 1t was announced that presidential APP
pointments for post offices were under con-
sideration, but clerks brought in piles of
documents, which showed that Mr. Bris-
tow is preparing to present number of new
cases for the consideration Of the Grand
Jury.
present
attention centers upon the divisions under
fire in the bureau of the First Assistant
Postmaster General. and there is no doubt
that the investigation will cover every
branch, as so much corruption has already
been unearthed that all the divisions seem
to be involved in the systematic ,conspi-
racies in one way or another.
Influential friends of James T. Metcalf
the Superintendent of the money order
division, who was summarily dismissed sew
eral days ago for indiscretion in letting con-
tracts for money order blanks, are making
appeals to the President to have his case
reviewed at the White House.
The appeal is made on the ground that
action was taken hastily by the Postmaster
General, and that consideration Is due him
for his twenty years Of faithful service in
the Post-Ofice Department. and that no
fault has been previously found with his
conduct Of the Office.

MAN HUNT ORGANIZED;
NEGRO DENIED THE CRIME.

There was evidence that Miss Bishop had
made a desperate resistance in defending
herself The wounded girl was taken home
and died the next afternoon without re-
gaining consciousness.
The entire neighborhood was almost in
stantly aroused, and man hunt was i'm
mediately instituted. Suspicion was soon
fastened ON George G. White. a negro, who
was just out of the Workhouse and was
engaged as a laborer on the farm of Ed
ward Woodward. near the scene of the as
sault.
White was found in bed. When taken into
custody he denied all knowledge of the
crime He was identified by several per-
sons, who said they saw him in the vi
cnity of the scene of the crime. A knife,
which Mrs. Woodward said belonged to
him, was found where the girl was as
saulted.
White was brought to Wilmington but
later was transferred to the county work
house, where the officials thought he would
be safe from mob violence.

TUNBRIDGE FAIR.

From all parts of the surrounding
country people flocked to the last fair
of the season IN this vicinity, the
Worlds Fair" at Tunbridge Tun-
bridge has always had the reputation
of drawing on such occasions large
crowd of people, and this year was no
exception. 1t was estimated that 5000
were on the grounds on Wednesday,
the second day. The weather was of
the finest and for so large a number of
people almost perfect order was kept
very few being seen who had taken in
an overstock of the ''Iifelong Bit
ters," told of in way Down East. :"
The Chelsea cornet band OF twenty
two pieces arrived in teams about 8 80
O'Clock on Wednesday morning and
furnished music during the day. They
had varied program of snappy, up
to-date music and their execution was
good, favorable comments being head
on every side.
The displays of fruit, vegetables,
etc.. in floral hall was good and the
exhibition of fancy needle work, al
though not quite so extensive as usual
was of an exceptional quality.
The racing was fairly good there
being three races, the 2 80 class the
2 :2S class, and the green race. James
A. Whitney of Tunbridge acted as
starter and the judges were l.. w.
Avery of Northfield, r. r. Wood of
Randolph Center, with Fred Wright
of South Royalton, John M. Moore of
Barnard and Fred Gray of South Roy
alton, time keepers.

TWO YEARS. RECORD.

The record of the Montpelier city
court for the month of September
shows that twenty intoxication and
three breach of the peace cases were
before Judge Woodward during that
time, as compared with ten intoxica-
tion ana four breach of the peace
cases for the same month last year.
This comparison is more favorable to
the license system than tor any month
since the new law went into effect,
for the reason that September was
unusually quiet compared with other
months this year, while September,
1902, had a much larger crop of DRINKS
than other months of the same year.
The record since license went into
effect compared with the same time
last year does not show like result,
however. The first license ia Mont
pelier, other than a druggists license
went into active effect on April 10,
aud so the system has been in opera
ton nearly six moths.
For the six months beginning April
aud closing September 30 in 1902 and
1903 the record is as follows:

TESTING CATTLE.

1.-THE State board OF cattle commas
sioners, Hon. V. |. Spear, Drs. f. A.
Rich of Burlington and George Ste
phens of White River Junction, held
meeting here last week to see what
is best to be done in view of the re-
cent ruling of the State auditor that
be is not authorized to pay veterin-
aries hired by the board to assist in
testing cattle for tuberculosis. - Says
the Randolph Herald and News
"This has been done to quite an ex-
tent up to now and the auditor has
allowed the claims, but will not here
after. The law is very peculiar in re-
spect OF this feature. 1t requires that
the board, two of whom must be vet
erinaries, shall test as applications
are received. but it would require a
capacity equal to some of the Arabian
Nights heroes for two veterinaries to
perform the task. There are 300, 900
cattle in the State and applications
have come in so fast that there is six
month S work ahead now for the board
of veterinaries. The best that can be
done hereafter is to look after the
most threatening cases and to supply
the tuberculin to such approved veter-
inaries as the farmers who cannot
wait their turn may engage and pay
for themselves. 1t means bad check
in the work that was progressing nice
ly. There is unnecessary expense. too,
in having a board veterinary journey
many miles to test few cattle which
could just as we'll be tested by some
local veterinary, acting under the
boards direction.

INTERESTING RELICS.

Comrade Aaron Drown of Barton,
who was present at the Eighth Regi-
ment reunion last week, has in his
possession some interesting relics of
certain raid made by a party Of
boys of the regiment on the old Zach
ariah Taylor plantation on the Mis-
sissippi river. Thee boys were forag-
ing and did not spare the stately old
mansion in their search, several of
them carrying away souvenirs of their
visit. Mr.. Browns trophies consist
of four silver stars from General Tay-
lor's hat and pair of cuff buttons
made from a watch chain slide, also
the property of the general. The own
er is proud of his trophies and as the
veterans looked at them, many hap
penings of the days spent by the great
river were recalled and talked over.

and obsolete medicines for the same pur-
pose. 1t antagonizes and destroys all forms
of disease germs in the body as nothing
else does.
John Donohue, of Chatham, N. Y, suffered from
Scrofula and Eczema for many years. All the doc
tors he consulted failed to give him any relief. At
last, Mr.. Barringer, his druggist, advised him to
take Dr. Kennedy's new medicine, Cal-cura Solvent
He did 80 and from the very first bottle he was BEN
Gifted. The painful and foul appearing eruptions
on his face, hands and body all disappeared and he
has not been troubled with the disease since.
Women are more frequently afflicted with
skin eruptions than men. Their confined
lives, and carelessness about their eating
and bowel movements, tend to produce
the chronic skin troubles that worry and
disfgure them for years. A treatment with
Cal-cura Solvent restores health and good
looks Refuse substitutes.

YORK STOPPED.

Judge Seneca Haselton has granted
an injunction restraining the city of
Barre from continuing the work of
erecting a school building at Elm and
Jefferson streets in Barre. The petit
tion was brought by A. O. Averill, O.
w. Averill and Lucy f. Cummings of
Barre and r. f. Hoar represented the
orator before the court. The petition
alleges that the city is obstructing II
highway, has taken street without
due process of law and that the ora
tors property, known as the Gum
mings place, has been damaged
thereby,
During the past few months the city
of Barre has purchased several lots
but did not buy the Cummings place.
In laying out the school building
lot the street was DETECTED from its re-
gular course and the orator claims the
Cummings place was damaged by the
change.
The first hearing on the case will
occur on the first Wednesday in March
and pending this work ON the building
has been suspended. The contract fol
the foundation was awarded to W. e.
