After the second ballot Mayor Cory
Withdrew bis name and Dir. Haley was
nominated hv acclamation There were
several interesting features of the cail-
cu. in addition t0 the fact that 1T was
one of the largest ever heid in Mont
pclier.
Chief among these features was the
presentation of the name Of Edward
+. Coleman for mayor. Now Mr.. Cole
man is manager Of the Wetmore &
Morse Granite company, Of which Can
didate Frank Cory is q stoekholder and
director, and furthermore Mr.. Coleman,
who was at his home. knew nothing Of
the plan to rlsee his name before the
caucus And apparently Corry's sup
portcrs knew nothing Of 1T, either. As
soon M D telephone message reached Mr
Coleman after the first ballot he rushed
To the armory, where the voting was
going ON, and mounting the rostrum,
withdrew his name Whether or not
Colemans nomination WAS the cause Of
Mayor Corry's downfall, be received 1876
votes on the first ballot, while Haley

a letter vas introduced showing that
Mr.. Green had recommended to Perry
s. Heath. then first assistant postrnas-
Yer general, Beavers promotion from the
Brooklyn office 10 the division Of sal
aries and allowances. The defense oh

acter were offered. The court admitted
the letters, stating TO counsel for Che
defense that they could cause the Others
to be produced.
District Attorney Baker had J. I.
Willard identify check drawn by the
Bundv concern on April 30, 1900, for
1000, payable to George F. Green. The
defense objected that the check was

tions between the two men.

or THE oLDEN TIMES.
Was the Pleasant Gathering Of the Glow
er Club Yesterday Afternoon.

Fad a stranger chaneed to call during
yesterday afternoon at the pleasant
home of DIR. and Mrs. j. Henry Jack
son he would undoubtedly have thought
that the wheels of time had turned
backward in their fight and that he, by
some magic influence, was dwelling
among his ancestors.
The seeming Transformation would
have been due to the fact that the
Glover club and ita invited guests were
observing Colonial day and endeavoring
for a few hours to live as completely IN
the past as possible.
The host received the company ia the
wedding gown Of her mother, and many
Of the other ladies wore costumes more
OF less antique in their arrangement.
Rustling silks, dainty laces, graceful
ciirls and high back combs all lent their
charms to complete the effect. The
rooms were well filled with exhibits of
old time utensils, books and specimens
Of the arts and crafts, loaned by the
club members ana their friends.
A large collection of fine crockery Of
early dates and delicate patterns was
shown. A specimen Of wall paper from
the Ida Day house, formerly standing IN
South Barre and at which Lafayette was
entertained on his trip through the
country was also to be seen.
Among fine collection OF coins was
a Pine Tree shilling. bearing the date
Of 1852, it being one Of the first coins
issued iii the United States; also La
fayette medal III 1900, the intrinsic
value of which was sl.00. These medals
were sold for $500 and BY the funds
thus raised the statue Of Lafayette III
Paris was erected.
X An especial crrio was pair of pipe
tongs for picking up coal ana placing
it in the bowl Of pipe. The handle was
fitted with a spring and on one side was
an arrangement for cleaning the pipe
and another for pressing the tobacco
into the bowl. 4 pair OF silk stockings
attracted much notice. The worms pro-
ducing the silk had been fed and the
silk spun by the mother Of one of the
club ladies.
For the literary programme Mrs. He.
mans poem THE Landing Of the Pill
grim Fathers Was given BIZ Mrs. a. G.
Averill q paper on ~The Colonists at
FloNiaf plRpIIeu Uy MIS- ADItiieIls was
read BY Mrs. Hattie Il. Waite. Another
paper on HThe Sabbath in Puritan New
Engisnd,' was given by Mrs B. w
Hooker; a short poem entitled Great
Grandmamma," was reeited by Blanche
J.. 1ilden.
Light refreshments, reminding one OF
the cookery Of our grandmothers' time.
were then served to the company. and
each lady was presented souvenir of
q Washington pin and post cards bear
ing colonial pictures were also distrihut-
ed. II ii worthy Of note that among
the guests were two ladies who were
more than so years Of age and third
who had passed her 7sth birthday,
II was an occasion Of more than or
dinary interest and from an educative
standpoint too much cannot be said in
praise of such gatherings. The exhibit
was one which might well have occu.
pied days IN It's examination rather than
the short time which one afternoon could
possibly afford.

AN UNPLEASANT POSSIBILITY.
That Barre Vote eyes" and Montpelier
'No" at the Spring Election.

Possibilities have to be considered.
With the vote on the license question
80 close as Il was last year, in both
Barre and Montpelier, It is at least
possible for the verdict 70 be reversed
III each city. This would mean that
Barre would descend TO the level Of the
saloon-ridden capital, while Montpelier
would become decent and respectable.
Barre would be tho center whittier the
drunks would resort. lntozication would
be frequent on our streets; money would
be spent in the saloons instead ot in the
stores for drink rather than for COM
forts of the family

that no more votes be cast for him.
Then Mayor Cory got mp, and commend.
ing his chief rival for his services as
alderman In ward I, withdrew from the
cuntests whereat there was Wild cheer.
ing among the Haley men. After the
nomination Of Haley by acclamation,
Mayer Cory was.one Of the first men to
congratulate him.
One Of the chief reasons for the de-
feat Of the present official was the belief
that with three continuous terms he had
held the Office long enough. Another
reason advanced. although not vouched
for, was that he worked hard for the
denomination of Alderman Bergen, who
was defeated on Monday night.
Their were two other minor fights,
in which Il. B. Thomas defeated Charles
