USING MUCH BOTTLED LIQUOR.
The amount of bottled liquor drinking
in Rutland has increased alarmngly
since the close of the licensed saloons
Saturday night the evidence of this being
the large number of empty bottles which
are found every morning on the public
streets and in Railways along Center
street and Merchants Row. ono place
where drinkers seem to like to leave bot
ties Is in the vicinity of the railroad
station. a porter for one of the local
hotels says that he saw nine empty bot
ties on window sill Mt the depot one
morning last week, while several others
were scattered about near by. 1t seems
to he the practice for certain men to go
Whitehall or Fair Haven and return to
this city well laden with small bottles
of whiskey, which are either sold or
given away to other thirsty residents Of
Rutanl, and excessive drinking is the
result SO far the police have been
unable TO secure evidence enough to war
rant the arrest of those who sell liquor
in this way.

REFUSED TO GRANT THREE IL
CENSES.
The Brattleboro board of license COM
mssioners has refused three out of four
applications for licenses which were
brought UP at the last public hearing.
George II. Danyew applied for licenses
of the first and second class for the
| American House, and Cecil G. Turner
applied for the same kinds of licenses for
| the Brattleboro House. Mr.. Danyew's APP
! plication for a first class license was
| the only ono granted. For 10 years or
| more some member of the Turner family
has been in the hotel business. T. Frank
| Turner's license at the American House
and Miss Sadie Turner's license at the
! Brattlcboro House were revoked last
September, but a substitute license was
issued to Cecil c. Turner at the Ameri-
can House. Public opinion has believed
| that T. Frank Turner has been interest
! ed in the conduct of the hotel under
Cecil C. Turner's lease, and this opin-
ion has been shared, apparently, by the
commissioners hence the refusal to is
sue any more licenses 10 the Turner fam
| lily. Tho town is entitled to seven licenses,
but thus far only four have been grant
