As result OF the circus in Mont
pelier Aug. 4, seven DRINKS wer
lined up in city court the next morn
ing and fined. All but two were mel
from other towns who had gone L
Montpelier TO see the circus.
Samuel Farnsworth Of Duxbury ha,
narrow escape from losing a watcl
through the work of pickpockets a
the circus grounds. Feeling some
body touching him near his watcl
pocket he looked down and was jus
in time to seize the wrist of the MAJ
who had just touched him for hi
watch. Farnsworth secured his watcl
but the pickpocket escaped.
Charles p. Smith was roughly han
died at the circus grounds. He at
tended the evening performance ant
was at the railroad station later watch
ing them load when he was assailed
Little Is known of what happened
only that after he had been struck anC
became unconscious be was carried in
TO the home OF Madame Nicholas, anC
Mrs. Smith and a physician were
called. He was later taken to the hos.
pital.
Friend Spencer, who is employed in
The Montpelier Journal Office, was
also assailed near the place where the
Smith row took place. He was taken
up unconscious with bad cut on his
lip and two black eyes. His compan-
ion tackled one man OF the assailants,
but they were too much for him, and
after knocking him down, they es-
capped. 1t is thought that there were
six or eight men in the gang.
Three men were arrested at White
River junction the 9TH by Deputy
Sheriff Anterior, who followed the
circus there and took the men to
Montpelier on the charge OF larceny
in the matter Of Farnsworth's watch.
They gave their names as Joseph Me-
Cam OF Hartford, Conn, Frank Berry,
Columbus. Ohio. and James 0'Neil
Orange, n. j. At the time OF their
arrest all three OF the men were en-
ployees OF the circGs. Two of them
were found at work assisting in the
putting up OF the tents and the third
was taken while at breakfast in the
dining tent for employees. Mr.. Ather-
ton picked the men out at first sight as
the same that had been pointed out to
him in Montpelier as the pickpockets.

The inspector, Major G. B. Hoppin
of the 10Th cavalry, says OF n. o.. -
This is certainly one of the very best
military schools in the country, and
il is to be regretted that the law does
not permit that assistance of a imam
cial nature be given it. The work
done is of high grade, both military
and academic, and schools OF this
character are of great benefit TO the
country as shown by the long list OF
graduates of this university who have
rendered valuable services in times
of greatest need, five hundred and
seventeen having served as officers
during the Civil war, and over fifty
in like capacity in the war with Spain.
Fifty additional Springfield rifles,
Krag pattern belts, equipments and
materials of all kinds, which the mill
tarv instructor says he can use,
should, II possible, be furnished, Tor
here the United States is receiving
instruction almost without cost, which
is surely of great value. The arms
and equipments which are now at
this university, are in perfect order,
uniforms neat, well fitted"

Saloon Route
Turned Down

The Parkersburg & Ohio Valley
Electric Railway company has
filed it's non-acceptance OF the
franchise ordinance granted by
Council Monday evening.
The company finds "that upon
examining the several amend
ments they are found to be OF
such nature as to make it wholly
impracticable to operate line OF
railroad under them. ,"
The alterations and additions
made by Council to the ordinance
as prepared by the company make
it binding upon the grantee to
run cars alternately every half
hour over the loop on the streets
asked for, and gives to any other
street railway company that may
seek a franchise from the city the
right to use the grantee IS track by
giving fair compensation for such
privilege. The kind OF rail to be
used within the corporate limits
was also changed from the T. pat
tern to the groove or saddle rail.
Yesterday engineers were at
work all day surveying for the
new route to come into the city at
the foot of Main street. Arrange
ments have been made with IL.
w. Mccoy for a right of way, and
it is finally settled the road will
enter the city on Main street. The
company will ask for right OF
way up Main street, and we think
it is high time the business men
were taking a part in this matter.
They should see to it that the
Council grants a right of way
promptly. If not, then elect men
in March as Councilmen who will
grant a right of way. We need
the railroad. The cars running
I'D Main street will give every
merchant an equal chance to get
the trade the road will bring to
our city. We honestly and cam
didly think it's high time to stop
the idea of legislating to suit a
few saloon men. Let the business
men take this matter up and go
after it in earnest.

tons could not well have been more
reasonable or moderate. Men guilty
OF such misconduct, even though the
total loss to the state be not serious,
are not men to control and conduct
our institutions. The fault is directly
traceable TO loose, even vicious, super
vision. The superintendent would
never have done those things for
which they must now suffer had they
not been permitted to do so, appar-
emily with full knowledge, by the men
paid by the state to look out for just
such things. When ii is considered
that this committee was commissioned
particularlyto overhaul the state in
sane hospitals and that, thinking it
would begin at the easy end of the
job and work up, it never reached the
asylums at all. one can readily see how
it is that there should be no
let-up now, but that the whole truth
should be known.

The union granite cutters walked
out OF the Ellis stone shed in North
field Dec. $ under orders of the griev-
anee committee of the union. The
trouble arose over the fact that certain
of the old cutters have been discharged
for the expressed reason Of a shortness
OF stock, yet that morning several new
cutters from ont OF town were set al
work. The striking men claim this is
not the ilrst time that men have been
discharged and new ones taken on in
the same way. The matter has been
under discussion by the grievance
committee for some time ana it de-
clded TO attempt to put stop to il.
The members OF the firm DO not make
any statement beyond the fact that
they do not belong 10 the manufacture
