LITTLE SPEEDING.

On the avenue yesterday afternoon
there was but little that could be called
fast work among the many who were
out sleighing. The reason for that was
that the snow had not sufficiently packed

strain for any of the horses which at
tempted IL.
There was a continuous stream Of
travel on the way all the afternoon,
though none OF them seemed willing to
let out and show the speed that was in
their steppers. II Is expected that by

Hot Stuff.

Considerable excitement was caused
on Railroad street Saturday afternoon
by the rope of the large campaign flag
suddenly becoming live wire charged
with 1000 volts OF electricity. The rope
broke, letting the flag that hangs be-
tween the Odd Fellows block and the
Estabrooks store to the ground. c. A..
Calderwood, Henry F. Estabrooks and
several others decided to raise the flag,
and after the rope had been repaired they
proceeded to do SO. In some way the
wire rope became entangled with q live
wire of the st. Johnsbury Electric Com
pany and was suddenly charged.
Charles Calderwood and young Warren
Estabrooks had hold of the flag rope,
while G. S. Calderwood and Henry Esta-
brooks were on the opposite buildings.
ALI received shocks, Warren Esta-
brooks being the most severely
hurt. He was thrown to the
ground aud writhed screaming until
George w. Buzzell FASTENED to his rescue
and separated the wires. Both the Esta-
brooks boy and Charles A. Calderwood
were slightly burned, and would have
been killed outright if they had received
the full strength of a current OF 1000
volts.

Drunken Disturbances ON Trains.

The presence of drunken peace-disturb-
ers on trains running into St. Johnsbury
is getting to be a.l6rst class nuisance.
Two modern instances will serve to
illustrate:
On the train from the west last Tues
day night three or four young fellows,
returning from the Burlington excursion
made themselves particularly obnoxious
to the other passengers by their drunken
orgies, wandering from car to car. swear
ing profusely and undertaking to make
others drink of the same rank poison
with which they were filed.
On the New York train last Thursday
night three fellows riotously drunk crea-
ted similar disturbance all the way
down from Newport to St. Johnsbury,
thoroughly disgusting the other occu-
pants OF the car.
The conierring of police authority on
the conductors, and the firm exercise of
that authority. would put stop to such
performances as these we have noted and
save the travelling public from annoy yam
ces which the railroad management does
not intend shall exist.

BASE BALL.
Two Defeats for Local Team

Two Defeats for Local Team.
Barton is again victorious. The base
ball game between the home team and
St. Johnsbury, played here last Thursday
afternoon, resulted in the defeat of the
latter players by good margin. high
wind from the south aided the batsmen,
while it kept the 6elders guessing where
the ball would come down. Both teams
had on their batting clothes and pound
ed out runs apparently whenever they
chose. 1t was an interesting game to
watch, but Barton took so much of a
lead in the first two innings that the
outcome was never in doubt. The score
follows:
