SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS
MADE BY B0NI
He Also Declares That His Former
Wife, Now Princess de Sagan Has
Neglected His Children.

Paris, Nov 25.-Serious allegations
against the character of the Princess de
Sagan were made in court today by
Maitre Bonnet, counsel for Boni, who
charged that he could prove that in
September, 1907, she travelled alone
with Sagan in italy and later lived
with him as man and wife at the
Cateau Maria. He also declared that
Sagan was accompanied to America
by another woman and following his
marriage to Anna Gould he again es-
tablisned the woman in his Paris apart
ment. He concluded that Anna has,
since nor marriage, utterly neglected
the children, whose custody Boni asks,
with pension of 10000 francs yearly.
Decision was reserved.
Bonnet declared that when Anna found
out about the mistress she threatened
to sue Sapan for divorce. He repent
ed and offered to withdraw to a mon
astery for year. This so touched her
that she forgave him.

Who Had Pleaded Guilty to
Selling Liquor
ARRESTED AFTER A RAID
Mrs. Secor's Attorney Caused Some Sur
prise When He Said 0verseer Shurt-
left Had Intimated to Her That
She Might Sell.

The two deputy sheriffs and one pa
trolman had about given up hope Of find
ing any liquor at the house Of William
Rock on Granite street last evening,
when they decided to 60 back just for
one more try. So Deputy II. j. Slayton,
who held Grand Juror Davis's warrant,
went upstairs and began fumbling
around the floor. He moved over to the
bureau and pushing that aside he turned
up the carpet and found a loose board.
The board being removed, a nice little
eozy corner was revealed, from the re-
cesses of which the officer hauled nina
pints OF whiskey, three quarts Of the
same and another bottle partially full.
Deputy Sheriff George l.. Morris and
Patrolman Carle were the other officers
in the raid. This place has been searched
before, but the officers had been unable
to find any contraband goods. Rock
was arrested, also his housekeeper, Mrs.
Mary Secor. They were both arraigned
before Judge Scott in city court last
night, and Mrs. Secor pleaded guilty
to selling. Sentence was suspended until
to-day and the woman was remanded
to Jail in default of bail. Rock also was
kept in the Jail until to-day, not hav-
ing furnished bail of $1,000 in two
charges, one of selling and the other of
keeping.
When Attorney NJ. NJ Gordon. repre-
senting the woman, came to make plea
for clemency for his client this forenoon,
he caused a sensation by declaring that
the woman, a widow with two or three
children, had several times applied to
0verseer Of the poor Shurtlef and had
been refused, and that it had been in
timated to her by the official that she
could sell liquor
Grand Juror Davis and Judge Scott
were both startled By the assertion Of
the respondents attorney. The former
said that If MIR. Gordon had the proof
of his statement he stood ready to prose-
cute the overseer, while Judge Scott de-
clared that if the situation was as Mr..
Gordon stated the overseer was to blame
and should be prosecuted. He said that
it was the grand Jurors business to look
into the matter and sift it
Attorney Gordon then asked for the
minimum fine of $500 to be imposed on
the woman, and Grand Juror Davis OPP
posed the idea. Judge Scott then i'm
posed fine of $500, and the respondent
to pay the costs of the case. The alter
native sentence is imprisonment in tha
house of correction not to exceed three
years. The woman viii be given a
chance to pay the fine and costs.
The cases against Rock were continued
until Friday morning, and as he was
unable to furnish the 81 900 bail, he, as
well as Mrs. Secor, was taken to the
county Jail at Montpelier.

OVER 100 BURNED
A Liverpool to Malta Steamer Caught
Fire To-day, Making Fearful
Loss-The Victims in a
Panic.

that more than a hundred, maybe 100,
people died in the burning Of the steamer
Sardinia, which was burned outside the
harbor to-day. Many OF the dead were
from Liverpool, but then names are not
yet known. OF the 200 passengers, 30
were English.
The holocaust was marked by scenes
of horror indescribable. The natives
tried to overpower the officers and slash
cd them with knives. AT six this eyen-
ing more than 10 bodies had come
ashore.
The vessel had just left the port when
the flames broke out. Then the matches
blew up, followed by nightful panic.
People could be seen leaping into the
sea to escape the flames which swept
over their heads. The ship was beached
as soon as possible.
II is believed that scores were penned
in the burning hulk. The whole shipping
of the harbor surrounded the liner Us she
drifted, flaming, ashore.

POOR TRAIN SCHEDULE.
On Barre Branch, c. V. r. R., Says the
Local Merchants Association.
H. S. Wilson,
vt. Cattle Commissioner.

At a meeting Of the Barre Merchants
association, held Monday evenig, a com
mittee was appointed to confer with the
officials Of the Central Vermont railroad
in an endcavor to get better passenger
train service between this city and Mont
pelier Junction The particular griev-
ance in the service is the 1850 train in
the morning, which gets into Montpelier
at $40, fifty minutes before the first
main line train is due to leave.
To do away with this unnecessary
wait Of fifty minutes at the Montpelier
station for passengers leaving Barre, an
effort will be made to have the leaving
time Of the train changed As the run
ming time between this city and Mont
pelier is only 20 minutes, train leaving
here at $3.50 would have plenty Of time
to make connections with the main line
train which leaves Montpelier at O.
o'clock. This proposed change Of time
would be appreciated fully by the travel
ing public in Barre,

a suit to recover S2.35s.61 and the price
OF the barrels for 81 barrels OF maple
syrup shipped to Mr.. Grimm last April
came in at o'clock yesterday after
noon and reported verdict for the
defendant The precise wording of the
verdict was that ''tne defendant did
not assume and promise in manner
and form as the plaintiff did allege."
The plaintiff took exceptions to the
verdict and the case will no doubt go
to the supreme court.
Mr.. Grimm's contention was that
he bought the syrup from samples and
that the goods, when they arrived. were
greatly inferior to the samples, both
in the matter Of weight and because
they contained large quantities of nitro.
