Correction to Be Tested.

brought before Judge Stafford in county
court tomorrow afternoon to test the

the new license law.
Mr.. MCNally was tho first person to he
sentenced from Washington county UNI
der the present license law for IL second
offense of intoxication. lie was before
judge Woodward in Montpelier City
Court last Thursday, having been con-
ViCted of a first offensc Ia Barre City
Court few days prior to his arrest in
Montpelier. Judge Woodward sentenced
him to pay a fine of sl5 and costs and
rs he had no money with which to pay
his fine ordered him committed to the
House of Correction at Rutland for Jos
days.
McNally was taken to Rutland Friday
morning by Chief of Police McMahan. ID.
l.. Morgan, superintendent of the House
of Correction, refused to admit him on
the ground that the alternative sentence
should have been in the county jail and
not in the House of Correction. 1t seems
possible under the new law to fill the
House of Correction with cases similar tc
McNallys time, and it is intmated that
Superintendent Morgan refused McNally
admission to head off such a state OF
things.

bilt and Mrs. Lewis NJ Rutherford were
married at o o'clock yesterday morning
at st. Marks Church in North Dudley
street. Only eight persons, including the
contracting parties, were in the ediice at
the time. To the very last the element
of secrecy was successfully maintained.
In order to enectually prevent the pres
ence of undesirable spectators the cere-
mony was celebrated almost at the very
earliest hour of the day possible under the
laws of Great Britain.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. r, a. Hadden, vicar of st, Mark $

witnesses were the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough, and Winfield Scott Ioyt

These four signed the register. The only
other person present was James Smith
verger Of the church. The service. which
was the regular Church OF England cere-
mony, did not occupy more than 15 min
utes.

M'NAllY RELEASED FROM JAIL
Officers Had No Authority to Hold Him
Cannot Be Rearrested.

Montpelier, April 27-Shortly before
noon to-day w. A. Lord, counsel Tor
Michael McNally. who was refused ad-
mission to the House OF Correction last
Friday went to the jail and asked Sheriff
Evans by what authority he was holding
McNally. The sheriff allowed he had no
warrant to hold the man and turned him
over to Chief of Police Mcmahon who
took him TO Rutland and return last week.
The chief realized he had no authority
to hold the man and for the want of
something better turned him loose. His
inc and costs amounting to about $50
and the officers fees for taking him to
Rutland are still unpaid.
1t was expected that McNally would be
brought before Judge Stafford this after
noon but his attorney forestalled matters.
and as he cannot he again arrested for
the same offonso II Is probable his case
will be dropped at least until the supreme
court which meets next month can hand
down an opinion on the section of the
license law referring to such cases. There
Is some conflict of legal opinion in this
city as to whether Chief of Police Nc
Mahon had a right TO set McNally at lib
crty and some regret is expressed that
the mandamus proceedings, which would
have brought McNally before Judge Stat
ford this afternoon, fell through.

The fire broke out in the woodshed in
the rear of tho Union hotel about 10 o'clock

flames spread to Stewards store before
the front part of the hoicf was on fire.
The buildings were so near together that
the efforts to keep the roofs of the build
inss drcnched with water were utterly
useless.
The whirl of the connagration was So
great that nothing was rescued from the
hotel but a piano. Some furniture was
taken out of several of the dwellings.
Nothing was saved from the store. When
the old vcstry building was reached the
flames were checked. At one time
