had occasion to speak of the success
Mr.. Hutchinson achieved, in fruit
growing on his farm, formerly owned
by the late John Lynde, on the west

with the knack for orcharding, and
with large experience in it, we know
of no one about here who could give
more good points on the subject, as
relating to this section, than he could
He tells us that he put out more than
one thousand fruit trees on his Lynde

BUSY DAY AT JAiL.

An addition will soon have to be
built to Washington County jail it
business continues as brisk in that
hostelrie as it his been for the last
twenty-four hours.
On Friday afternoon Martin Fitz-
gerald arrested Frank Hunt, at his
home on Loomis street, on capias
charging him with breach of the
peace by assaulting his WIFE, 1t is
alleged that his assaults upon her
have been frequent during the past
few weeks. Doubts are entertained
as to his sanity and he will doubtless
be examined as to his mental condi-
ton before action proceeds further
against him.
On Friday evening, John Hanlon
came to the Jail and wanted to give
himself up to Sheriff Evans. Hanlon
said that he was unable to take care
of himself and wanted to be locked
up so that the State will care for him.
The sheriff tried to persuade him to
find boarding place somewhere and
get work and look after himself, but
he refused Mr., Evans FINALLY locked
him up Hanlon was discharged
from Heaton Hospital few weeks ago,
after a severe run of the pneumonia.
Since that time, it is reported, he has
been Intoxicated considerable part
of the time, On July 25 he was con-
victed of intoxication in the city
court in Barre and served ten days in
Jail.
On Saturday William Matthews
walked into the Jail and told much
the same story that Hanlon did. He
refused to leave the Jail office, and
the threat of more serious charge
than intoxication being brought
against him failed TO move him to go
out and hustle for himself. He in
sisted that he needed to be cared for.
Nothing was LETT for Martin Fitzger-
aid to do but to lock Matthews up on
the charge OF intoxication. A few
weeks ago he was in Jail on a similar
charge.
Martin Mcmahon found Mark Forbes
On the streets Saturday forenoon in
an intoxicated condition and gathered
him in on that charge, adding one
more to the list of new occupants of
the Jail.
To complete the roster of the Jail
the name OF Lobina Patterson must be
added. He is al unfortunate who was
brought from Waterbury by Deputy
Sheriff W. J. O'Neill to serve ten
days sentence FOR intoxication. Pat
terson was convicted in the justice
court in Waterbury. This is his second
otfense.
1t is possible that some of these
cases may be disposed of this evening.

to burn out early that morning, but at

The vlNDlcTlvE coRNwELL

The Democratic papers have
viciously assailed Mr. Dawson at ev-
cry turn, but none has been more vi
cious and violent than the Hamp-
shire Review,'a country weekly own
led and edited by John J. Cornwell,
the Democratic nominee for governor.
NO charge has been too strong, no
abuse too bitter for Mr.. Cornwell to
hurl at his opponent for the govern
orship. On February IS last year,
the Hampshire Review published a
long editorial denouncing the Tax
Commissions bills, falsely charging
Mr. Dawson with responsibility for
their failure, and in the course OF his
TRADE Of abuse he said the following
about the Republican nominee for
governor:
Dawson is a political mole He
works by night and even then under
ground. There is not political
sewer in the State through which he
has not crawled and left it the
Sinner for his going
What do Republicans think of
such language? What do they think
of man who can descend to such
abuse of their candidate for governor?
Mr.. Dawson is clear, honest, capable
and energetic public servant, and we
mistake the temper of the Republic
cans of West Virginia if they do not
resent Mr.. Cornwell's vindictve at
tacks by a magnificent majority for
Dawson and his ticket at the polls.

pounds, the value of her dead hus-

q do not believe the guardians
have ever had before them a par

stepped forward. The woman he
proceeded, SIS the widow OF a very
rich man, and has been defrauded out
OF every penny she possessed. The
late Rev. Prebendary Ilitto. rector of
ST. Martin-i1- the-Ffelds. who went
through a lot Of the documents be-
longing to the applicant, said that he
believed she had been robbed of
many thousands OF pounds, but how
mucl. it was difficult to say. When
legal proceedings for restitution were
commenced the solicitor concerned
committed suicide, so he is outside
