VERMONT WANTS THE MAN WHO

It looked like Seward In 1860 and
when John w. Stewart and the other
members Of the Vermont delegation
started for the convention they ex-
pccted to vote for him for the presi-
dcncy. They were free to net and
upon comforting with delegates from
other States It was deemed advisable
to vote for Lincoln, so the immortal
emancipation OF the colored race IN
America was chosen AZ tho party 5
standard bearer with the assistance Of
the Vermont delegates.
The republicans of Vermont have
wisely decided through their political
primaries in overwhelming majority,
which the State and district conven-
lions can not in good faith disregard,
to send an absolutely untrammeled
delegation TO Chicago, and no matter
what their personal preference may be-
they will be expected TO carefully

Nobody can tell what may happen
between the date Of our State conven-

the final setting OF their presidential

SIX LIVED THROUGH SMOKE.
Horses Saved from the Livery

Mr.. Smith Says He VIII tie
sumo Observation-Disclosures wires
May Have Caused Fire.

The ruins of II. c. Smiths livery stable
which was Quilted by fire early Tues
day morning. smouldered all day and
drew large crowds, who walked around
the building, inspecting 1t from every
point and expressing their opinions
freely on the probable origin Of the fire.
About three o'clock in the afternoon the
tons of hay, which had been shoulder
ing all day. burst into flames again,
making it necessary for the nremcn to
of the building presented n sorry APP
pcaranco Tuesday morning. A large
section of the roof at the south end had
fallen in and tho floor of the loft had
given away under the weight of water
turned into the hay.
1t was supposed during the fire that
about seventeen horses had persisted but
about o'clock In the morning some one
notified MIR. Smith that he had heard "A
horse neigh in the barn. This news was
not taken seriously at first but upon in
vcstigation IT was discovered that there
We're six horses still alive in the ruins.
one of the number was valuable horse
owned by n. II. Barrows of Winooski.
These animals had been in the dense
smoke for three hours and were taken
to stable near by, where all six re-
vived. one Of the horses found
alive was said by Mr.. Smith to
be the most valuable in the stable. The
fact that these six horses lived through
the fire was most remarka bic, consider
ing the suffocating smoke with which the
building was filed. The eight horses that
persisted were located in stalls in the ex-
trome southeast corner of the barn.
whore It was absolutely impossible to
reach them. These were removed at noon
Tuesday by the Burlington Rcndcrir <
company.
The livery stable was one of the most
complete Establishments in New England
and the loss Is estimated at $4,000. The
sleghs and robes were all burned, as
we'll as an unusually large stock of hay
and grain. which had been put in for
the summer. The harnesses were saved
with the exception Of one pair of coach
harnesses The horses and contents OF
the barn were insured in the Vermont
Mutual of Montpelier, through the HEX
OK agency, and Mr.. Smith was paid
5000 through this agency before two
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The build
ings were insured for 5000 through the
T. S. Peck agency. 1t is thought that
the fire originated from electric light
wires in the hay loft. Mr.. Smith stated
| Tuesday that he would begin business
again at once, either by rebuilding or
| locating in some other place. During
| tho height of excitement Tuesday a
man who had owed Mr.. Smith n livery
bill OF five years standing, stepped up
and handed him the money, saying that
he guessed If Mr.. Smith ever needed the

capped without damage and Mr.. Smith

REVISED CROP ESTIMATE
Maple Sugar Expert Finds Average
Yield Is ga to ~ Pounds
to thc Tree.

st. Johnsbury April 2l.-Ge:rge C.
Cary, Vermonts sugar expert, has re-
vlsed his estimate of the 1893 sugar crop
from the bulletin issued a wccf ago and
finds that from reports rom all over the
State that the total crop to date aver
ares PA to 27-S pounds to the tree.
This does not quite equal last years
crop, but he expects after this c,ld wave
there will he another good run which
will make the crop equal II not larger
than that OF 1907 On account OF the
business conditions tho price Of sugar
will not be quite rs hieh and the demand
for the product is not rs great.
More sugar was made IN the southern
and western part of I'll, state than in
the northeastern section whore in the
hill towns of Caledonia county the yield
is only 1-2 pounds to the tree. In the
most favored sections the farmers be-
gan tapping their trees March 10 and got
a small run, but the cola weather which
followed kept tho yield down and by
April the farmers had only got little
over a pound TO tree, Then followed a
warm wave which brou yht up the yield
by the middle of the month to over two
pounds to the tree.
SOME AVERAGE YIELDS.
Reports of the average yield in differ
ent sections OF the State are as follows:
Enosburgh Falls, oia pounds, Sheldon,
3i2; Sheldon Springs, about 3; West
Charlotte. % very few orchards 3, but
the average IL to pig. West Burke, "a,
Albany. .; East Montpelier. 2. Green's
boro. 2%; Marshfed, 2}a; Richford, 3;
Richmond, 3; Jeffersonville. 3; Bristol,
ga Watervllle. ga to }; Wolcott q. to 8
pounds to the tree.
The season closed in Ohio April with
less than the average crop and the sea-
son in New York State closed ten days
later whore they had a fair crop. The
weather Is so unf1vorable II Canada
and there is still SO mich snow in the
orchards that II is probable tho yield
now is not over a pound to the tree, but
the season is still on and good returns
may yet be reported.
