RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
GraniteviIle Presbyterians Release Their
Pastor Because Of Illness.

The resignation of the Rev. George
McLennon, pastor of Graniteville Pres
byterian church was unanimously ac-
eepted at congregational meeting held
last evening Mr. McLennon's reason
for rendering his resignation was the
fact that he is in very poor health. AL
though the people of his congregation
think great deal of Mr.. McLennon, who
has done such good service in the Gran
iteyille church for two years, they
thought best to accept his resignation
without delay, so that their pastor could
obtain much needed rest, for his CON
dition is such as to necessitate an i'm
mediate giving up of all work.
Mr. McLennon's wife died at Granite
vile last spring and he goes now to
Montreal to stay for time with his
daughter, who is the wife of promi-
nent Presbyterian minister of that city.
MIR. McLennon has two sons who are
Presbyterian ministers, and one who is
professor in 0berlin college. Each Of
his two daughters is married to Pres
byterian minister. He will pass the win
ter with these sons and daughters.

But cheerfully Paid His Fine When
Brought Into Court.

Montpelier, Dec. IA woody, red
head stuck out of place on Main
street last evening and from the aper-
ture below came a resonant yawping
for his companion. The yawp was too
much Of an effort and the owner of it
fell headlong into the street. Officer
Pattee happened along at that moment
and assisted the man to his feet, and
then started to take him to the Jail.
Then the buddy came to the rescue
and between the two Of them the officer
had hard time, losing both. The first
individual became lurid streak down
State street, with the officer and a
big crowd in pursuit The crowd was
after amusement, not the man. The
streak headed for the Central Vermont
station and boarded the train. Officer
Pattee called on 0dell Mason, who was
standing on the platform Of the car to
stop the fugitive. Mason not only stop
ped him, but showed him off the car,
and then landed on him full force. Thus
pinioned the man was captured and land
ed in Jail.
In court this morning the sprinter
pleaded guilty to intoxication and was
called upon for SIS fine with recompense
for the effort to catch him. He de-
clared he was Peter Grant of Barre,
but afterwards told that he was using
his mothers last name, before she was
married a second time. The other man
is still at large.

Eddie Root was surrounded by number
OF ther iders who demanded a share OF

ONE OR THE OTHER.
witte Says 1t Looks Like Revolution OF
Coercion.

London, Dec. 12.--The correspondent
Of the Daily Telegraph at st. Petersburg
dispatch dated Dec. TO- sent by way
Of Eydtkuhnen, East Prussia, sends an
interview with Count Witte, in which
the premier indicates that Russia is con-
fronted with the alternative of revolu.
tion or violent coercion Though the
count has not abandoned hope, he is not
sanguine, nd if forcible repression should
become necessary he will, according to
the correspondent, resign his task TO
other hands.
Questioned by the correspondent as
to the genesis OF the revolutionary
movement, Premier Witte attributed its
rapid development to the great auton-
omy OF the universities and the high
schools, where the revolutionary forces,
hitherto doomed to secrecy, found asy-
lum and sanctuary and absolute freedom
for discussion Further, when this free.
dom became license society still looked
on with stolid Indifference.
After reviewing the situation up to
the manifesto Of Oct. 80, Count Witte
said:
"ClegHy the vast changes which the
raQ4festo heralded required time and pa
tience to carry out; but what happened
was utterly unexpected. Sections 81
the community-nay, whole classes
went to work systematically to ami
hilate their own means of livelihood and
to ruin themselves and the whole nation
Social instincts seemed to have became
atrophied. Instead of uniting to pre-.
serve order, the people quarTeled among
themselves and attacked the government
"'Fhe only people who acted in theil
own interests were the revolutionists
They knew what they wanted They
chose the most effective means to attain
it, and they are capable Of adopting
those means even at the price Of heay i
sacrifices"

There Is sorrow in large chunks in
the confines of the Washington county
Jail at Montpelier, for the star musician,
Fred Dolby, has forsaken the place, and
the notes oi the phonograph which Fred
owned viii not be heard any more, un.
less he takes it into his head to 60
back and loan a few cheerful notes.
Dolby was placed ia Jail several weeks
ago, after failing to secure bail in the
alienation suit brought against him by
Frank MeIarrett, who claimed damages
Of $4,000 Bail in similar amount
was set, and Dolby was unable to furnish
it, Then the amount was reduced to
ST 800. and still Dolby was forced to
recline in Jail. Now the attorneys of the
two parties have got together and ef-
fected settlement. The terms of the
settlement are still in doubt to the great
public, although Dolby persists that the
amount agreed upon in settlement Of
the $4,000 suit was between S25 and
$50. Fred Dolby says that he has re.
sumed house keeping at the same place,
where it was 50 rudely broken up several
