Vermont Politics.

politics were incidentally discussed or

no evidence of any desire or purpose to

A. DeBoer of Montpelier was the most
mentioned of any of the candidates, and

that if he would be candidate be would

casually mentioned for the second place

Hon. Charles P. Smith, president of the
Burlington Savings bank, DR.. J. A. Mead
of Rutland, Hon. Charles H. Stearns of
Johnson, Hon. Roger W. Hulburd of
Hyde Park, DR.. J. E. Thomson of Rutland.
AS far as any real political work was
concerned there was no evidence of it
and the Burlington Free Press hits the
nail on the head when it says:
1T should not be understood that
there was any slate making; for things
are too much in the air in this stage of
the political game in Vermont, but ad-
vantage was taken of the sunshine of the
occasion to make little political hay"

STORY OF RACE TOLD
By BULLETINS

11:45-The yachts are obscured in rain
and mist, but as the wind has died out
almost completely they are making moth
ing more of the race than a drifting
match
11:4s-Still raining heavily of shore,
and the wind is very fat. Unless the
wind picks up, it will be impossible for
the yachts to finish within the time
limit.
l1:55-A few OF the boats of the ex-
cursion fleet can be seen on the edge of
the mist bank, and from their position
the yachts are somewhere of Seabright.
They have probably covered about four
miles OF the course.
II may be that the racers are picking
up wind outside.
A heavy blanket of mist has settled
over the cup course. and vision is COM
pletely obscured from shore. There Is

Office Case.
UNION CHARGES ON FILE
Civil Service Board Makes
Them Public COrtel-
you's Investigation.

Public Printer Palmer is not in the
city today, and he is not expected to re-
turn until Saturday or Sunday. Until
then it is unlikely that any action is
going to be taken in the Miller case.
The charges against Miller are of
such a nature that it is thought they
will need more consideration than was
at first paid TO them. They were drafted
by an attorney and are somewhat ram
bling and disconnected in their narra-
ton, but they are of serious import.
Serious Charges.
The statement begins With quotation
from the records of Schuykill county,
Pa, in 1871, showing the marriage of
Miller TO Maria A. Miller.
1t is charged that the court author
lied Miller TO borrow $400 from his
mother r-in-law. but that he really bor-
rowed $1,000, and lost it. causing the
ruin of the lender. The next charge is
that in 1875. he turned his wife and
child out OF his house. when the wife
was in a delicate condition

Miner's wife from Charles W. Johnson,
who was chief clerk to the Senate in
the Fifty-second Congress.
The letter states that Miller was dis
charged by Mr.. Johnson's company in
Minneapolis for stealing stock" and
that while there he married one of the
bindery girls. telling her that he was
single.
Another allegation IS that court
records show that Mrs. Miller did not
secure her divorce until October %, 1888.
but that Miller was married at Alex
andria, Va. on June u. 1888. 10 Mary
E. Knight, declaring himself single and
without any impediment 10 his marriage.
1t Is also charged that he married
Irene D. Nelson in Minneapolis on July
2S, 1883. and that because of this mar
riage he was threatened by Mr.. johnson
with prosecution for bigamy.
