Of the five unions was 1901 against end
ing the strike to 420 in favor. The

reduction in wages offered by the manu-
facturers.
"Some members of the unions have
Expressed desire to have a vote taken

Vermont Bowling League in
a WObbIy Condition.
GAMES ARE NOW HELD UP
Withdrawal Of the champlain Team Of
Burlington Is the Cause Of the
Unsettled Tonight's
Game Postponed

The Vermont State Bowling League
bids fair to be broken up through the
detection Of the ChampIain club Of Bur-
lington which recently cried aQuit" and
left the league. The season was NOV.
ing along well until ten days ago when
the Champlains informed the Ethan All.
len team, with whom they were to play,
that they had left the league and dis.
banded. Since that time the whole
league has been hanging in the air
ready to drop at any moment. 1t seems
likely to drop now. This is largely due
to the disarrangcment following che
withdrawal Of the Burlington team. The
schedule Of games is set badly awry and
the enthusiasm is OF course somewhat
dampened BY the loss Of one team. A
wet cloth was throw over the enthusi.
asm Of the league some time since, how
ever, by the vastly superior work Of the
Barre team, the Calnmets, which at
once took the lead and kept adding to
its advantage.
The seasons schedule is less than
half completed, games having been ar.
ranged for January, February, and a
part of March, the season closing March
10. After the Calumets came the Pas
times Of Montpelier, in the standing.
The Queen Citys of Burlington the
Capitals Of Montpelier and the Fort
team were fighting it out. The Cham
plains were still trying to get out OF
the woods Their poor f1oaifinn ,4ndr,,bf
edly was the cause Of their withdrawal.
The Calumets Of this city have
game scheduled to be played at Mont
pelier this evening with the Capitals.
but the game is held up, pending the
continuance or breaking up of the league.
The secretary Of the league, John T.
Ayerill, Of this city, has written the
other officers regarding the situation.

Some Of Accusers of Bishop Talbot With
draw Their Names.

Philadelphia, Dec. s0.-Despatches
from Huntington, Pa, last night state
that some Of the Huntington signers to
the presentment against Bishop Talbot
have repudiated the presentment, and
say that it was never their intention
TO sign paper Of the character that has
appeared in the press. If this be true,
the proceedings must be dropped, as a
presentment Of the character made
against the bishop must contain the
names Of at least three persons from the
diocese in which the accused bishop
lives.
II is said the paper was signed BY
