COURT OF CLAIMS REPORT.
All The Work in Hands For The Last
Biennial Term.

The court Of claims has reported all
the work in its hands for the biennial
term '07-'0s, ending June 30, to the
committee on claims which has accept
ed the report and viii report findings
TO the legislature all the judgmentns Of
the court have been affirmed. Since
June 30 the court has considered 40 i'm
volving s5,2o3.70 Of these claims 20
have been allowed in part or in whole
and II disallowed altogether. The
amount allowed is S3,456.59 and the
amount disallowed $1,74711.
Among the claims examined are three
Of more than passing interest. Charles
S. Wait Of Londonderry was indicted
for selling hard cider in less quantities
than barrel. He was fined $500 and
costs Of ss, He paid his fine under pro-
test. AT that time the supreme court
was considering another case which in
volved the same question and its de-
oision was that the cider clause was
unconstitutional. Wait asked for the
return Of his fine and costs. The claim
was allowed by the court Of claims on
the ground that the claimant had paid
his costs and fine under duress pay
nlent not having been voluntary, The
decision is based on several similar
cases by the United States courts.
Another important case was tnat Of
the Sandbar bridge commission whicn
asked for s24s being an amount in
excess of the appropriation of $4,000 al
lowed BY the legislature. 1t also asked
for compensation for the members of
the commission. The S24s was allow
ed but the compensation for the mem.
hers was disalloWad On the ground that
at the time the appropriation was ask
cd of the legislature il was stated that
The commissioners we're willing to work
without pay.
The case of William H. Dunn of
Brandon is an interesting one. He held
license for the sale Of intoxicating
liquor and being charged with violation
of the law was compelled to close his
business for % days. He asked the
court for S3s9.20 for beer spoiled dur
ing this period, for the wages of bar
tenders, carriage and the amount for
lis license figured for % days. This
was disalIowed. the court deciding that
because he held a license he was no less
liable for loss for similar cause than
anyone in any other line Of busienss.

AN EARLY BARRE BOOMER,
Was stillman Wood in the "Barre Times"
of 1871.

Mira L. L. Boyce, librarian Of tae
Aldrich library, has in her possession
several copies Of the Barre Times said
TO be the FIRST paper ever published IN
Barre The first issue OF THE Times
was printed in February, 1871, by Still
man Wood, and the printer was @, r.
Clark In his Introductory paragraph,
Mr.. Wood candidly makes the following
statement: The Times win be pub
lished occasionally as circumstances shall
seem to demand; and win be devoted to
the best interests of the people and our
own especially"
The paper is a small four.page sheet
and seems to be given up mostly to
advertising the drug store run by the
publisher, but it also contains some other
advertising and various articles from
different pens, and also shows in various
articles G tendency to boom the town.
One Of the articles headed, "Will I'M
provements Payf" reads as follows;
Barre has done well: few Towns
disconnected with the great arteries Of
commerce have done better.
Our Schools, our Churches, our Town
hall, all tell their story for those who
have reared them.
but shall we stop here? Shall our
paint grow dim and rusty2 Shall our
Common fence remain dilapidated, Shall
our Side Walks remain reaching but
only fourth part the length Of our
Village? Shall our Fountain still con
sist Of a few old barrels2 Shall the
Town hall be destitute Of a Bell?
Shall we let the present opportunity
90 by with puny effort to obtain
Rail Road2
I'VE say very emphatically NO. 1t
must be a long pull, a strong pull and
pull all together
Never has the Town Of Barre been
called upon to make an effort which shall
tell on the present and future prospect
of the town ike the present.
'Will she wake up to the magnitude
of the enterprise2 Shall we grind and
use the seed which we should plant for
future generations! NO, NO.
''Therc is money enough 'salted down
to raise boon for which our posterity
will rise and thank the Fathers for the
foresight their good sense led them to
secure"
The answer to all these questions is
the Barre of to-day.

SMALLPOX CATCHES
THREE MORE VICTIMS
But The Scare in BrattleborO Seems TO
Be Abating-Business is Picking
Up Somewhat.

Brattleboro, Nov. 2O.-The list of
smallpox patients here was increased
by three yesterday, the first since Sun
day, but in each instance the house al
ready was under quarantine restrictions
on account OF some other member Of
the family being ILL., Health officer
Henry Tusker began yesterday the
work of fumigating some OF the houses
and raising the quarantine, so it may
be said shat the situation has begun to
improve.
The hotel registers, which are some
thing of an index OF the business situ-
alton, show increased patronage by
travelling men. The isolation building
on the Guilford road viii be ready
tor occupancy today, but unless new
cases develop there will be but little
use for it. Store trade has been hard
hit as one Of the inevitable results OF
the epidemic.
The newspaper reports of the situ-
alton have been accurate on the whole,
but many false stories have been circu-
lated verbally which have had PERM.
eious results. There is no reason why
the usual course of business should not

DARLING CHARGES
ARE DISMISSED
They Had Asked That Collector of Gus
toms Darling Be Removed
From Ofice.

Burlington, Nov. a0.-Several citizens
of Swanton recently preferred charges
against Charles IL. Darling, collector Of
customs for the district of Vermont, and
asked that he be removed from Office.
The ground of the complaint was that
Le did not carry out the orders OF the
treasury department and that he was
the attorney Of the Central Vermont
railway company. Five charges were
made but they may be summed up in
the three following;
First-That customs officers seal cars
at Noyan Junction that are not des-
tined for st. Adams.
Second-That they do not seal cars
for swanton that are destined for Swan
ton.
Third-That the collector Is the at
torney Of the Central Vermont railway
company and therefore disqualified
from holding the Office of collector Of
customs
In passing upon the charges the de.
pertinent under date Of November 10

against the collector Of customs at

September 10 last, and il appears there
from:
First-That only such cars as are
shown by the manifests to be destined
20 ST. Albans for entry are sealed at
Noyan Junction for entry at st. Al.
bans.
Second That any failure Of the Gus
toms officers stationed at Noyan juno
for entry at that port has been due to
the fact that no request was made TO
them to seal such cars by the person
having the same in charge.
Third--That while the said collector

Without adjournment, Chairman Bacon
of the House committee on appropria-
tions gave a hearing to the state fair
bill. The principal speaker was Maxwell
Evarts, president OF the commission, who
gave a particularly foroible and CON.
vincing account Of what the commission
had done, the success which had attended
the fair and the interest which had been
cerated in the state and its products. He
said Vermont had now been recognized
as the Ayrshire breeding state of New
England, while the exhibit Of Morgan
horses had drawn horsemen from as far
away as Montana. He claimed that the
fair had already resulted in direct finan.
cial benefit to the farmers from the
people which II drew from outside the
state, who came here 70 look over our
stock, became convinced and and finally
purchased.
The commissions proposition was 10
turn over 100000 worth of buildings and
improvements, together with $4,000 in
cash, give its services absolutely free,
rs It had done in the past, and, finally.
that the Billings estate had offered to
convey the grounds TO the state if it
could be assured that the state would
take interest enough IN the fair to make
it permanent.
lie said the state fair, far from in.
juring the town and county fairs, had
been of positive benefit TO them, while
to the state at large il had been the
biggest and best sort of an advertise
ment that it possibly could have
II. NJ. Kicker Of the celebrated firm Of
Kicker Bros. in ST. Johnsbury said the
state had aided the Caledonia county
fair, but intimated that there would
have to be larger premiums if he were to
take his big herd to White River June
ton another year.
George Il. Aitken Of Woodstock con-
firnaa what Mr. Eyafss had said about
helping tie county fair and declared
that he could have sold every ''critter"
on his place as a result Of the fair. He
considered the big fair the best thing
for farmers the state had ever pro.
duced. !.
