Another Bennington Murder.

Thomas Harris and his wife, charged
with completely in the death Of Oscar
Turner, whose body is believed to be at
the bottom OF the Wright underwear mill
pond at South Pownal, are in Jail at Ben
nington. Harris admits that he and
Turner had fight in the highway which
skirts the pond Saturday night. He
denies striking the missing man with
anything else Int his fist, but from the
evidence of Frank Moon, who saw Turn
er lying in the road after the fight was
over, there is reason to believe pick
handle figured in the alteration.
Turner's cap was found in the mill pond
and his pipe was discovered on the bank
few feet from where his body was last
seen. There were also q number of blood
clots in the dust of the road and a piece
OF human scalp with the hair attached
was discovered and turned over to the
states attorney.
All the parties in the affair were more
or less intoxicated and it is the general
belief that Turner partially recovered
from the effects Of his beating and STUN
bled into the river.

They tried to come the same flop on
Clarke G. Fits at Brsttleboro that the
Morristown voters did on Judge Powers,
but Fits has absolved himself from sery-
ing the public for a time, finding it more
profitable to attend to his law practice
than to chase around with listers blanks
under his arm. It all happened through
chance remark by Fits that 80, OOO, 900
of property escaped taxation in Brattle-
boro every year. A vacancy in the board
Of listers ensued and Fits was invited to
take the place and show up the goods.
He backed away then. Judge Powers
took the stunt.

The no-license vote in Vermont last

1t is not so many years since one of the
early motions made at the opening Of a
new session of the Vermont legislature
was to allow R. G. Abel, the member
from West Haven, to select his seat in adj

his long service in that body. And a

would take the seat he had so often had

Part OF the village Of Barnet has been
under water, there being six or seven feet
depth in the lower part OF the village and

OF about 70 feet.
A washout OF about is feet was discov-
cred about q mile south of Cold River sta

To Stop Foul Discharges into Lake.
A bill in equity in behalf Of the State
of Vermont against the Consolidated
Rendering Co., doing business in Bur-
/ lington under the name Of the Burling-
ton Rendering Co., has been entered in
Chittenden county court, alleging that
the company in its business is and has
been committing g public nuisance in
discharging from its plant dead animal
matter into Lake Champlain.
The bill alleges that by reason OF this
discharge, unhealthy and evil-smelling
gases and vapors are thrown into the at
mosphere over the waters OF the lake and
adjoining land and over the highways in
that vicinity. The bill prays for an in
junction whereby the company, its
agents and servants be enioined from 9
further continuance of said nuisance.
The bill is brought by States Attorney
n. B. Shaw and hearing has been set fol
April 20. An information against this
company, charging the pollution OF the
waters Of the lake, was fled in county
court last November. The nuisance al
legged is one that has long been the caus,
OF much complaint from residents anc
frequenters of North avenue, where the
plant is located.

The average run of people are more

We have had some evidence of this
during the past few days. The city
of Anadarko boasts of a fine opera
house. 1t 10 credit to the town,
was built at a considerable outlay,
by public spirited citizen. that the
people of Anadarko might have q
suitable and ornate place of amuse-
ment and recreation. Mr.. Nc
Aninch. the manager, has been cater
ing to public taste in this particular
thing and doubtless will continue to
do mis- best. Some few days since
enters the city an itinerant show.
They bring with them their own
domicilium. that is they have a tent.
They also have brass band and
wake the echoes nom and night with
the blow of trumpets and the beat of
drums. They spend money enough
foe their own board the few days
they are here and their county and
city license. They rake il the
shekels ana silently fold their tent

difference? Some day we are going
to wind up our pencil and write up

and when these business men read il
we want them to say ~ am the
