Enjoyed by Convict kst-
cham at middlebury.
Acted as Turnkey, Had Keys
and Services Of Valet.


Middlebury, VT, June 16.-The trial
of Harry Mccormack, who is charged
with having broken from the Middle
bury. Jail while awaiting trial on the
charge of forgery, which began here,
TODAY, before Judge Watson of the SUI
irene bench, developed sensational tes-
timony, which. it is said. is likely to
lead to an investigation of the jail Of
hcials. and which again brought PROM
incntly to notice j. w. Ketcham. the
United States prisoner, who is serving
a seven years sentence for the part he
took in wrccking the Farmers National
Bank Of Vergennes.
II appeared in the testimony, and
Deputy Sheriff William H. Cobb, who
has also been the jailOr here for 80
Years, admitted the fact. that ketcham
has been allowed to serve as turnkey,
has had access to the keys of the Jail,
and has even had the unusual prison
luxury of the services of a valet.
Mccormack, who is being defended
by Frank l.. Fish of Vergennes, sets up
the defence that he did not break Jail.
rs the doors of the Jail were open and
that he simply went away. He was APP
pretended in Franklin. N. H., last
Saturday. pleaded not guilty to the
charge of Jail breaking, yesterday, and
was put on trial, today.
1t appears from the testimony of pris-
oncrs at the trial that the lad ketcham
had as valet had himself been sub
jected to a charge of forgery by ketch-
am. who claimed that the servant had
forged his name to check for 81. The
valet. Don Henry Davis, a native OF
the Island of Malta. brought here by
soldiers returning from the Philippines
was arrested on the charge, but the
court ordered the case mol pressed af-
ter an investigation had been made.
It is known that Davis comes Of a
prosperous Maltese family and that the
lad will receive $4,000 when he comes OF
age in two years. and it is alleged that
the charge against Davis was prompted
by Interior motives.
Jaior Cobb testified that the door to
the Jail could be opened with a crooked
wire and that he kept the keys in a bu-
reau drawer. He admitted that ketch-
am was, at times. allowed to let people
in and out. and that, at times, he acted
as turnkey.
The case will be continued. tomorrow

In the Graphic this morning appears
the announcement of Geo. w. List for
the office of assessor of JEFFERSON
county. Mr. List is we'll known to ev-
erybody in Jefferson county as one Of
the progressive and successful busi-
ness men of Pine Bluff, and as hA is
what is termed self made man. his

was employed at the Cotton Belt
shops, and later at the Dilley foundry
in responsible positions. In 1896 he
established the Excelsior laudry,
which later in the same year was con-
solidated with the American laundry,
the new laundry becoming
the American Excelsior laundry,
with which he is still connected as
manager. Mr.. List has always been
en- active Democrat, and has always
contributed CT his time and means for
the success of his party's nominees.
He is we'll qualified for the duties of
the Office, and if elected will perform
those duties with credit to himself
and to the county. He submits his
claims subject to the action of the
Democratic party.

Gould and Southwest Development.

New York. Sept aa5--George ].
Gould IS observing closely the inter-
change of traffic between the different
lines ef the Gould system al St. Louis,
and he proposes, an intimate friend of
his AYERS, to establish better shipping
relations between the Wabash and the
Missouri Pacific Easier interchange
conveniences between these two roads
would add to the traffic facilities Of
the southwest to and from the east
and northwest via st. Louis and would
assist materially in stimulating the un-
precedented development of the
seuthern-southweste territory. Mr..
Gould fully realizes the great CONNER
cial prospects of the states traversed
by his reads, and it is this apprecia.
ton which has induced him to watch
the traffic at the central point and to
study out a method traffic interchange
BY fixing basis for interchange at

provided for the business from the
northwest at Chicago, and from the
east Pittsburg. ST Louis and the
southwest will benefit from this con-
templated traffic arrangement

BAD DAYS FOR "GooD FELLoWs.'

Baseball is sport, but it is clean
sport-it is more than sport; it is bus
mess.
It depends for its success upon the
approval and patronage of a whole
some element of the public, and it
must come up to the public standard
of morals and deceney.
1t is becoming common for profess
sional ball players to be "struck OUT
because of drunkness.
1t is becoming the rule that the man
who drinks hard is held to be inca
pacitated for the game where quick
ness and correctness of thought and
action are so requisite.
Business is setting it's face sternly
AGAINST the hard drinker. And so is
clean sport.
The railway companies, the tele-
graph companies. the express compan-
les and all the rest of the great public
service corporations hold drunkness
in an employe to be ground for dis
charge.
The banking institution. though it
had millions at it's back, could not live
year with drunken men at its wick
cts.
The place in business for the hard
drinking man is shrinking smalle,
and smaller each year. Today he sci
dom rises above a menial position.
He is heavily handicapped, and on.
ly extraordinary abilities can over
come the distrust of him and give him
an equal footing with sober men.
1t is the same in the professions.
The oldtime lawyer who made
Great pleas only when drunk has been
crowded down by the lawyer who
| makes ADLER pleas when sober.
The drunken physician is no longe,
deemed a4 genius, but is. avoided.
Even the best bartender is the sober
one. Saloonkeepers, just as all othe,
business men, recognize the business
value of sobriety, even in dealing on,
drinks, and the bartenders who
never drink behind the bar" get the
biggest wages.

Geo. Gould in Great Fight.

New York, Sept 25.-George j
Gould is in the biggest fight OF MS
career. His old time friend, but now
inyeterate enemy, John D. Rockefeller,
f. H Hartman, also an active foe OF
Gould. and A. J. Cassatt, who hhes
him least of all, are combined against
him. Russell Sage has come out from
his retirement and is helping to stand
of the assailants.
The rich prize for which all these
are battling is the Wabash railroad
and the entire Missouri Pacific system
The warfare has been going on under
cover for year, but has now been
brought into the open by Joseph RAM
sey, Jr., president Of the Wabash,
whom Gould wanted to oust and VINO
is now striving to oust Gould from the
property in which the latter holds
nearly 40 per cent of the stock,
Gould's ambition to extend his rail-
road lines to the Atlantic and to the
Pacific in order to control an ocean
to-ocean route, have given his adver-
saries their opportunity He is charg-
ed with breaking faith in making this
extension.
Gould has never yet met defeat in
financial warfare and his friends say
he will even now be able to stand off
his foes, since the great fortune of
Sage has come to his relief
The original quarrel between Ram
say and Gould was over the difference
OF opinion in regard to debenture Sc
curites of the road. Ramsay wanted
to pay these bondholders two per cent
this year, four per cent next and more
the following. Gould objected. These
bonds and the Missouri Pacific stock
are the specific prizes in the battle
now under way, for there is enough
stock of the underlying companies in
the Missouri Pacific treasury and in
Rcckefellers hands to control all the
roads in the interest of those who cap
ture the Missouri Pacific.
