BASSETT TRIAL FEES
Attorney Russell Got $500 and Med
 ical Men $1o a Day.

It was pay day yesterday with the experts and defense in the Bassett murder trial. Including the day OH which Bassett was sentenced the trial took eleven days, and the entire cost amounted to about $1,300. Of this sum Attorney Russell, who was ap- pointed by the court to defend Bas- sett, received $500. This was at the leagl rate of@$25 day for every day in the superior court. and the balance was for preparing the case and per sonal expense MT Russell underu en; in obtaining his evidence.
 The medical experts for the state, Drs Crane. Graves and POOre. were paid $50 each, or at the rate of S1O d day. Dr Donahue, expert for the de- fense, sent ill a bill for S200 and was paid the same amount as the states experts, while Dr Moriarty was paid nothing. The cause of this was that Mir Russell exceeded the order of the court. He was allowed only one mcdl cal expert. but he deNided 1t was ne oessary to have testimony to support that of, Dr Donahue, and why the court did not take that view of the situation surprised him. Medical ex- perts are never paid more than $1O a day, and sometimes they are not even given that amount
 There is a case on record in which physician from the state lunatic asylum travelled quite distance to attend court. He was called by rhs state and further than being paid his mileage he received nothing. In that instance the court considered that as the physician was an emplGye of the state he was not entitled to even the regular witness fee of sixty cents.

NEW LIFE GUN
The Leavenworth Street Bremen Were Out Praeticing
 To-day.

The new life gun for the fire depart ment arrived late yesterday and the Leayenworth street boys and Chief Snagg were out bright and early this morning giving it test. By means Of the gun Il rope can be quickly raised to the top of q high building and T line of hose immediately sent up. A brass arrow to which is attached a small rope is put into the instrument and the gun is fired. The arrow goes flying into the air and carries the rope with it. This morning the test was being made in the lot opposite the house on LeavenwOrth street and the first trial was very successful. The second one was not so good. and when it was over the arrow was missing. The gun was loaded and the string was attached. When the cartridge went off the arrow flew into the air. bat the rope did not go and the arrow went so fast without anything to hold it back that the firemen were not able to watch it and when the surprise wore off they started to seek it in yards round about. But the arrow was nO- where to be found so finally Chief Snagg his deputy, Dodds, and the fire men gave up for the day. Two arrows and two coils of rope came with the gun.

IS THERE NO REDRESS
For Woman Who Has Appealed to
 Authorities Several Times.

Some speculation is being indulged in about town as to whether or not any arrests will be made for the as sault made upon old Mrs Henessey at her home on Lafayette street last week when one of her legs was brok- en by q missile aimed at her by one of the gang that has been bOthering the old woman for some time. past. Whats the matter with the Lafayette street people anyway! It isn't very long ago when it wouldn't be safe to tride with a woman, especially one of Mrs Hennessey's age in that neigh bOrh0Od The old woman has been used as plaything for the rowdy el- ement of the neighborhood for the past year or two and she has made a dozen appeals to the authorities for protection. They say she is eccen- tric. Probably this is true. most old folks are but even so does this justify people who ought to know better, for making her lift still more miserable? Is it any reason why she is not en- titled to protection? If some of the smart boys who have been worrying that old soul had been trotted into court early in the game and made to feel that the neighbOrs wouldn't stand for that sort of thing. it wouldn't have gone on to this hour of the day and Mrs Hennessey would not now be a patient at the hospital suffering from injuries received at the hands of ungallant men at her own door,

EncycIopedias for the Library.

Through the kindness of Mrs. W. p,
Smith of st. Johnsbury, the superln-
tendent of travelling Libraries for the
state. the town library has received
from Mrs. Mastin now of Brattle-
boro, a set of Chambers's encyclo-
pedias. leather bound and in good
condition. 1t all came about as the
result of an effort, apparently fall
ure. to secure the gift from the es-
tate of the late Judge Ross, of set
of Chambers's encyclopedias which
was to be given away to some deserv-
ing library. Mrs. c. II. Willard, on
behalf of the other trustees, wrote
setting forth our claims to worthiness
but others worthier had been more
expeditions, and as those having the
matter in charge decided that the first
come should be first served-the set
of Chambers's went elsewhere. But
as it turned out it was better to have
tried and failed than not to have
tried at all for out of the apparent
failure came a better set of encyclo-
pedias than the one first applied for
1t happened in this way: Our worthy
representative so skilfully and truly
worthiness that the lady. Mrs. Smith
having the matter in charge was dulv
impressed. and when her friend Mrs
Mastin. broke up housekeeping in ST
Johnsbury to live with her daughter
Mrs. e. III. Crane. in Brattleboro. she
Mrs. Smith. secured the gift of the
encyclopedias for our library. The
gift is much appreciated and can
hardly fail to be very useful to all
who have occasion to consult such
books of reference
