$40, 900 Fire at North Clarendon.

What is believed to have been an incen-
diary fire caused loss of $4,000 in the
lumber mill and yards of the E. B. Horton
estate at North Clarendon Sunday. The
plant had been shut down for several weeks
for repairs The buildings burned included
a saw and shinge mill and cheese box fac
tory, cider mill, modern sugar house, horse
barn, COW barn, carriage barn, tool house, a
large hen house and numerous smaller build
ings used for storage purposes. A large
quantity of valuable machinery was ruined,
the loss on this alone being nearly $4,000.
More than 10O,0 900 feet of lumber, much Of
which was owned by the farmers about the
town, went up in smoke. All that now re-
mains of the big plant which was once
source of pride to the little town is a great
heap of smoking ruins. The Horton plant
was built some 30 years ago and gave en-
ployment to about 20 men. bucket brigade
proved inadequate to cope with the blaze but
a FIRE engine and company of men from
Rutland saved the remainder of the town.
The loss is only partly covered by insur-
ance.

Senator Bur.on,s Conviction Affirmed.

The supreme court of the United States
at Washington, Monday rendered a decision
in the case of United States Senator Jo-
seph r. Burton of Kansas against Burton,
affirming the decision of the United States
circuit court for the eastern district Of Mis-
souri,, by which Burton was sentenced to
nine months imprisonment in the Jail Of
Iron county, Missouri, required to pay a
fine of $780, and deprived Of the right
hereafter to hold Office under the govern
ment The opinion was by Justice Harlan.
All the points made in Burton's interest
were overruled Burton was prosecuted on
the charge Of violating section 1882, re-
vsed statutes, which prohibits senator's and
representatives from receiving compensation
for services rendered before any of the gov
eminent departments in any matter in which
the government may be interested. He. was
specifically charged with accepting fee of
$500 per month for five months from the
Rialto Grain and Securities company of st.
Louis for services rendered that company
in effort to prevent the issuance of an order
by the post office department prohibiting the
use of the mails by the company. This is
Burton's final appeal.

Jerry Hayes, or J. .Moulton, arrested near
Bingham. Me-, last week on suspicion of
Miss Pages murder March 81, 1904, was

arrest was based on alleged statements made
by him to woman with whom he boarded
over two months ago.
The supreme court at Montpelier Friday
handed down an opinion in the case of Will
liam f. McKenna, who claimed that he was
unlawfuIly imprisoned in the state prison,
that he must be returned to prison to serve
the remainder of his original sentence. He
was sent up from Windsor county for not
less than one year nor more than one year
and six months. At the end of the expira-
ton of the minimum sentence he was pa
rolled by Governor Bell, violated his parole,
and afterward claimed the time he was out
on parole should count in his original sem
tence. Claim was made by the state that,
having violated the parole, he should serve
the original sentence over again. According
to the ruling of the court he will have to
serve until June 16.
1t is proposed to build mammoth labor
temple at Rutland as the headquarters of
the labor organizations of Rutland and the
state, assessing each member one cent day
toward the building fund. The idea was
originated by Rev. Joseph Reynolds, rector
of Trinity Episcopal church Of Rutland, who
recently addressed the labor organizations.
The plan will probably be adopted as it is
understood that it is regarded in favorable
light by the American Federation of Labor.
The building will contain shower baths, gym
nasium, bowling alleys, an extensive library,
reading rooms, banquet hall and all modern
improvements
The May term of supreme court took final
adjournment at Montpelier, Friday after
session of two weeks. Judge Rowell read an
opinion in the appeal of the Rutland rail
road on the order of the state railroad COM
missioners that the road shall discontinue
running engines backward or in an opposite
direction from that of the train. The court
held that the order was without authority
and was null and void, because the railroad
received no notice of the hearing when the
order was made and that the hearing was
not held for that purpose but rather to take
evidence on an accident.
