dition, and that his heart was some
what enlarged The large intestine was
found to be lmnatlirally small, hut as
that had been the case all the mans
life, it was not thought that death was
caused by it. The stomach and contents
were sent TO the state laboratory for
examination. The inHamed condition Of
the stomach and intestines would lead
to the belief that some poison had been
taken into the stomach. And as Batch
elder had been eating quantity Of
candy short time before being taken
III Wednesday night, Il is still surmised
that there may have been some poison
Gus substance in the candy, There has
been no attempt 60 determine where the
candy was purchased.

High, Directors Think
NO CHOICE HASBEEN MADE
Director B. b Bailey Of Intercity Team
Resigned Last Night and Frank L.
Huntington of Montpelier Was
Chosen as His Successor.

The directors Of the Intercity Athletic
association, which controls the destinies
lof the Barre Montpelier bail team in
the Northern league, got down to work
last night ait meeting held in the
Office 81 Director u. IT. Dnnnelly in Mont
pelier. As the first need Of the associa
tion is money. the directors voted to
sell the remaining unsold shares Of the
association, and to collect the Second
installment Of the payment on those
shares which are not paid in full, There
are 81 shares not subscribed for, which
when sold will bring $3.50, and there are
2s shares on which the second assess
pcnt is not paid That would bring
$3.50, making possibility Of 1860 By
thai means.
Director b. B. Bailey Of Montpelier
having been chosen president Of the
Sorthcin league AZ its meeting one week
20. rendered his resignation as one Of
the local directors. The resignation was
accepted, and the name Of Frank i. Hum
tington Of Montpelier was advanced. Mr.
Huntington was then chosen to tire va
cancy.
The choice OF manager OF the Inter-
city team foT the coming summer WAS
discussed at some length, and the senti-
meat seemed to be IN favor Of retaining
Manager A. W. Daley, who has been
in immediate charge Of the teams dur
ing the past two years. But as the
directors were not able To get in COM
munication with Mr.. Daley last evening,
the choice Of manager WAS deferred
10 a later meeting. II is understood
that the directors viii cut the managers S
salary this year, as they feel that they
cannot afford to pay as high as $40
d week, the amount which Mr.. Daley
received last summer They now believe
that the work required of the manager
is not so arduous as to call for so
much money.
The matter Of holding fair or some
other form Of entertainment for the
benefit Of the team was considered some
what, but no action was taken.
