New York, Oct. lS.-The cotton worm
turned to-day and for a few moment is
made things lively. The price ran up
20 points like a shot and left sellers
high and dry. The bear crowd sold
large lots of March around 10 cents
and before they could get a bale the
price was 1015c and 102Oc. The news
had not changed, but the market had
apparently suffered just about as much
hammering as It could stand without
resistance and so IL turned. There
was the same storm area in the South
that showed up yesterday and the same
cold wave pointing towards the cot ton
belt. yet the market paid no attention
to the news. This morning 1t was diff
ferent. Miss Giles came out with her
crop estimate to-day. There is no one
I'm the business that deserves to be
taken more seriously. She has no AK
to grind and does not change her esti-
mates every fifteen minutes. And her
record is good. The estimate now is
II, 100000 bales. Good people call this
moderate crop. and IL will all be
wanted above 3 cents. No one knows
what consumption can reach If we
have the cotton and a moderate price.

for similar offenses. Four cases of
horse stealing are now laid athis door,
and sheriffs are Offering rewards for
Sullivans apprehension. ]. H. Kid
der, deputy sheriff of Wilmington,
wants this man on a charge of horse
stealing previous to that committed

SHAKING UP
BALL TEAM
Effort Being Made to Strengthen
the Outfit.

The Bennington base ball team will
undergo a general overhauling this
week. There will probably be several
changes in the line up as well as in
the make up and two or three new men
tried out before next Saturday s
game.
Meader, who will be unable to take
any active part in the game will un'
doubtedly7 be placed in charge
this work and it is practically under
stood that he will coach the team for
the remainder of the season.
The players will settle down to good
hard practise commencing tonight, in
preparation for the game with the
Cresents of Adams, next Saturday.

FIRE WAS
INCENDIARY
The Burning of the Harris
House in PownaI.
ON WEST MOUNTAIN
Evidence that Tends TO Show An
Attempt Was Made to
Save Furniture.
ON WEST MOUNTAIN

1t has become known for certainty
that the fire which destroyed the house
on West mountain in Pownal last week,
where Will Harris lived, was of incen-
diary origin.
Mr. Harris says that on Wednesday
his wife was taken i'll. About ?
O'Clock he took her and his two chill
dren to his brother Toms and came
to Pownal for DR. Barber. They re-
mained in Pownal over night. There
had been no fire in the house sirce ear
ly in the morning.
When he returned the next morning
Mr. Harris found table, three chairs,
and few other things piled up in the
yard. There were evidences of many
other things having been brought out
of the house but they had been set afre
by sparks and all burned.
There was no insurance on either the
house or goods.
The attempt to save the goods would
show that the person or persons who
started the fire did not intend to injure
Mr. Harris and either did it ont ofpure
maliciousness or ont of spite against
the owner.
One man in an intoxicated condition
has already boasted that he set it afire
to get even with the owner, A. G. Par
ker. But little dependence is placed
on the statement.
Mr. Parker and Grand Juror T II.
Hall investigated Saturday and arrests
are expected.

st Petersburg Report Of
Great japanese Defeat.
LAND ATTACK FAILS.
Loss of the Japanese Placed At
Fifteen Thousand, Russians
Three Thousand.
LAND ATTACK FAILS.

LONDON, May "A. -- Advices from
st. Petersburg say II is reported that
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff has re-
ceived message from the Russian
consul at Chefu saying that the Japa-
nese have made Hand attack on Port
Arthur and that in doing so they lost
$4,000 men killed or wounded. The
Russian loss is placed ut 1900 men.
The ultimate outcome of the fighting is
not stated
1t is reported that there has been
an explosion on board the battleship
ers were killed The vessel has been
badly damaged, and il will take weeks
to effect repairs. The explosion was
the result of an accumulation of gas
in the hunkers.
A Liaoyang dispatch says the Japa-
nese camps are infected with cholera,
and there is an average of 100 deaths
daily.
The Russians are removing stores
and provisions to Harbin. One hun
dred locomotives and 500 cars are col
lected at Llaoyang In readiness to CON
vey passengers and goods. The con-
clusion is that the Russians are pre-
pairing to retreat.
A st. Petersburg report says an in
vestgation made by the authorities
into the recent attempts to destroy
some Of the vessels OF the Baltic fleet
at Cronstadt has resulted in the arrest
of four japanese spies, who seem to
have escaped detection by wearing the
uniform of naval cadets, thus obtain
ing admission TO the navy yard and
access TO the ships without difficulty.
1t is believed that they are also re-
sponsible for the fire started some time
back near the naval magazine and for
the opening OF the sea valves Of the
0rel.
Dispatches have been received con-
firming the report that the Bogatyr Of
the Vladivostok fleet was destroyed by
the Russians after having been run
aground, her guns first being removed.
At St Petersburg II is stated that
the russians believe Port Arthur to
be impregnable and that a sacrifice Of
even $4,000 Japanese lives would not
avail the enemy in attempting to carry
the stronghold.
a st. Petersburg report says:
ut is reported that the Yladivostok
squadron has captured the three cruis-
ers bought by Japan from Chile"

RANDOLPH WOMAN MISSING.
Miss Aauds Hatch DisaPpears-Was Mentally
Unbalanced

Randolph, May 23.-Miss Maude
Hatch, daughter Eof the town clerk,
Edgar Hatch, disappeared from the
home of James Hutchinson Sunday
afternoon after ] O'Clock She was
supposed to have gone to her fathers
house, but was missed this morning
not being found at her home. She
left letters to a sister saying not to
look for her as she was going away,
but not to worry about her, as she
would not commit suicide. For seve-
raj months her mind has not been
quite right. She appeared to be in
sane over religion.
Unorganized searching parties have
hunted the river banks for two miles,
but no reliable clues resulted The
night operator at the station said to-
day that he sold a ticket to White
River Junction last night to a woman
answering the description given and
further search in this vicinity has
been suspended. Miss Hatch was "a
years old, of slight build, weighed 100
pounds, and had dark hair and eyes.
Messengers have been sent to places
where she would be most likely to
visit.

There Are Two Kinds of Happiness the World That Resulting fro
DISAPPOINTED FISHERMAN.
Leaves Home Early Sunday Morning But For
gets His Hooks.

A we'll known follower of Izaak
Walton made all arrangements to take
a quiet fishing trip Sunday and as
most of his neighbors are opposed to
Sunday fishing, he made all the plans
to steal away in the early hours so no
one would see him. He got all hispar-
aphernalia together, as he supposed,
Saturday night, including bait, sand
wiches and things that fishermen usu-
ally consider indispensable for a sue.
cessful fishing trip.
The sun had hardly risen above the
horizon when our fisherman was seen
quietly leaving his home in Crow
town, struck onto County street, across
the Burt bridge and then in a north
easterly direction.
After travelling about2 l-2 miles, the
weary traveller sat down to rest and
refresh himself from the coffee bottle
that he carried, and at the same time
prepare his lines and hook for the com
ing fray. Then he found that he pos
sessed something that he was not
aware of, poor memory; and collect
ing together his hookless fishlines, un-
used bait, etc, he started for home, a
sadder and wiser man. There were no
trout for supper that night.

OUR HONOR
AT STAKE
Shall the Vermont Doll Be
Named MoIIie Stark
THAT OR ANN STORY
Doll Exhibition Provokes a Con.
test of More than Local
Interest.
THAT OR ANN STORY

More and more interest is being
awakened in the International doll
show now in progress in the Congre-
gational chapel, the longer it contin-
ues. 1t is under the auspices of the
ladies aid society and as it is the
first thing of the kind ever seen here,
it naturally is a center of attraction.
There are dolls from all countries,
several hundred of them; dolls OF all
sizes and probably of all ages; dolls
old and young, the ages of some o
them being given as over 200 years.
There are dolls that are elegantly cos
tuned, some that are clothed in a
primitive fashion and "some in rags,
some in shags and some in velvet
gowns"
A person could well spend several
hours and look the various displays
over. More can be seen in a few NOM
ents there than in many places in
hours.
One of the principal attractions Is
the doll presented by r. S. Drysdale,
to be added to the collection of the
state of Vermont, the name to be chos-
en- by vote. The contest is arousing
considerable interest. Bennington
people have selected the name of Mol
lie Stark while Rutland people want
it called Ann Story. Money counts;
the price of votes is only five cents
