British Railroad Gets Six Thousand
 Dollars From an Unknown Debtor
 A remarkable leash" entry in the ac- counts of the London, Brighton and South Coast railway was referred to at the ordinary meeting of the company yesterday.
 Lord Cottesloe who presided, called attention to the fact that the general insurance fund was credited with the sum of twelve hundred pounds under the simple entry of leash. "The circum- stances In which the money was paid over to the company were unusual,
 A London solicitor called on the com pany's solicitors in January and stated that client of his Cwhose name he was not allowed to divulge) was in the possession of sum of money which he considered to belong rightfully to the company and which he wished to pay over. The solicitor declined to give any Information as to how the money came into his clients possession and he was only prepared to say that his client was not, and never had been, connected with the company. If the acceptance of the offer was declined, he added, he would advise his client that, having made the offer, he might retain the money with a clear con science.
 The true facts connected with this payment, said Lord Cottesloe, would probably never be known. It was a very unusual circumstance for rail- way company to receive what unques. tionably must be Conscience money"
 The offer was accepted, London Tri- l bune.

TWO GAMES
EVEN SPLIT
Bennington Won Saturday
and hOOsick Sunday.
OUR TEAM IS THE BEST
Bennington Artists As a Whole
Showed Their Easy SUPERB
ority.

Bennington and IIooslck Falls split
even 10 the first two games OF the ser
les, the FIRST game here Saturday being
won by Bennington II to 10 and the
second game at Hoosick Falls Sunday
by Hoosick Falls o TO 8.
The feature OF the two games was the
umplring by "Bill' Golfer OF Provi-
dence who has recently been employees
by the Northern league. For the Arst
time In history games between Hoosick
Falls aud Bennington were so umpired
that neither side kicked.
The Saturday game was the funniest
OF the season. The home team should
have won easily aud would have bi /
for the careless playing OF Love who
watches the crowd too much and the
bail too little and whose fumbles gave
Hoosick a show.
Killeen was not in his usual condit
ion but was Far better than Deering
and was given better support. The
Bennington team batted we'll but ran
bases poorly.
The Sunday game was better played
than the one here. The Bennington
team again showed its superiority.
Vosburgh OF Fort Plain was in the box
for Bennington and by his excellent
twirling had the best OF the argument
over the Troy Lacquer who was on the
slab for Hoosick.

to issue today an amnesty Of thirty
days. under which those persons now

their homes will be pardoned.

A pitched battle between Guerra and

awaited with great anxiety In this city
On the outcome, II is felt, will depend
the fate of the revolution. 1t is be
lieVed that many thousands or men
are delaying their decision in the crisis
until word of the battle is received
Although the hope of victory is ex
pressed, ii is known there is great fear
in government circles of disaster.
Guerra is known TO have at least 1000
well armed men. while BucallnO can
only muster $50 artillery. serving as
infantry. and fifty raw recruits. Bacal

forcing his way into GuaneS. where
the spirit of rebellion is at fever heat.
Guerra's camp was only five miles out

pected there would be fight in an
hour, but Guerra began to retire. His
rear guard was attacked Ivy BacallaO
who led his men in Il furious charge.
There is now some doubt as TO Ba

insurgents. Guerra before leaving san

ORGAN RECITAL A SUCCESS.
r. 5. Bsyhan Ably Assisted. Gave Great
Musical Treat

The Organ Recital In the Old First
Church on Bennington hill last Satur-
day evening, given by r. S. Bayhan,
a Bennington boy, was musical feast
as well as II financial success. The pro.
gram was selected in excellent taste,
giving Mr. Bayhan an opportunity to
convey to his friends and admirers
some measure OF the results OF his
training at LeIpsle, Germany, where
he has been for the past five years In
ardent persuit Of voice culture and n
perfected mastery OF the grandest Of
all musical instruments.
Incidentally we may say that II was
peculiarly fortunate that Mr. Bayhan
arrived from abroad in time to take
charge OF the musical exercises Incl.

hans mother, as well as grandfather,
was a member Of the od.tlme choir.
and his presence as leader Of the song
service was appreciated for its great
excellence by the large congregation.
Mr. Bayhan was assisted at the or.
gan recital by the Alpha quartet OF
Troy, young men who were trained
by him and had sung with him before
In the old church. The Recital, so
very enjoyable in itself, was also a
most fitting close to the old home week
services, which drew together so many
people interested by ties OF kindred
and association with the ancient edi-
ice.
The presence at the concert OF Mons.
+. A. Lelebre, the greatest living sax

program. Mons Leiebre was for

A BURGLAR
Thrilling Experience Of James

Mr. Burke Found Burglar in House
When he Went Home Satur.
day Night.

That there are burglars operating In
Bennington Is no l1nger a disputed
fact, the events OF Saturday night
showing beyond doubt that they have
been at work in the village, that three
houses have been successfully entered
and from the best OF evidence three
others have been attempted.
James h. Burke, superintendent OF
he Cooper Manufacturing company,
attended the rally Saturday evening"
and at its close went TO the Bennington
club where he remained a while and
then went home, arriving there about
quarter Of one In the morning.
lie sat down Ia his sitting room to
read the evening papers and soon after
heard a noise in the direction OF the
kitchen. Hearing it again he con
cluded that he would go and inyesti-
gate
He turned on the electric light In
that room and noticed that the door
that led into the cellar was open, an
unusual occurrence A door leading
upstairs was open and from behind ii
was protruding a mans hand. He
was surprised but quickly asked him
as he shut the door, "What are you
doing here? He received no reply.
Mr. Burke has reputation as an
athlete and his first thought was to
jump for the intruder who Mr. Burke
says was slender but wiry looking
specimen. lie noticed however that
the intruder had a weapon OF some
kind in his right hand that he kept be-
hind his back and as Mr. Burke had no
weapon he concluded that he had bet
ter wait for a chance. The man was
barefooted, had on pair OF trousers
that were turned up over his knees.
negligee shirt, the sleeves OF which
were turned up over his elbows The
two men looked at each other and APP
parently we're watching a chance 10
clinch
The intruder was standing near a
window in the kitchen which was open
and when Mr. Burke was within about
three feet of him, jumped through the
window head first TO the ground, dis
lance of about eight feet, and running
around the residence of Clement II.
Cone, made his way towards South
street Mr. Burke Immediately alarm
ed the neighborhood but the man mads
his escape.
Investigation showed that he went
In through the same window that he
came out. 1t was directly over the
coal bin in the cellar which had recent
ly been filled and the side OF the house
was covered with coal dust and the
marks of his feet, even to the toes,
were plainly to be seen after daylight.
He had taken out the screen, drop
ped it to the ground and as the window
was open, entrance was made easy.
Mr. Burke aroused the neighborhood
by firing three pistol shots and several
we're soon on the ground.
The impression is general that he
must have entered the house before Mr.
Burke's return and hearing him come
in, hid himself as best he could. AS
it was he secured no plumber.

DORSET.

Under the present system Dorset re-

state, and the state paid 1890 to care

Dorset lose its identity in the legisla-

atlons, and fathered the last state tax
ever levied in Vermont. This saved
