Wilmington As They Had
Intended

tribution of the $100,O00,000 estate,
but nobody had arrived here up to the
time of going to press this afternoon.
short time after receiving tie
letter from Miss Salter, Mayor Spfd-
ance learned of the arrest i'm Trenton
of a man who gave the name of
Charles B. Arnold, but afterward said
his name was c. H. Bierce. He was
indicted on a charge of using the
mails to defraud the public, and Il
was he who employed Miss Salter He
is accused Of selling stock I'm the sup
posed estate in Wilmington.
Several days ago Bierce or Arnold
was arraigned to plead and entered
a plea of not guilty. His trial will be-
gin in the Federal Court, at Trenton,
n. j., on November 10.
The only new development that
turned up to-day was postal card
which was received by Mayor Spru-
ance from Edgar Smith, OF No. 144

ARMoRtes FOR VERMONT,

The state has taken decisive step
toward placing the Vermont National
Guard ON sound footing. The bill to
establish board of armury commission
ers ana authorizing the construction OF
armorics for the different companies OF
the Vermont National Guard has been
signed 10y the governor and has become
law.
The measure providing for board of
armory commissioners consisting Of the
governor, adjGtant general, and colonel
OF the first regiment, who are to buy and
maintain real estate and personal prop
erty for the use ana occupancy of the
first regiment as armories, the expense
To the state to he met from the general
appropriation for the military department.
ana shall not exceed $4,000 for any one
armory, with the provision that each city
or town where armorics may be located
shall contribute at least 20 per cent Of
the entire cost of building and site.
The Burlington company is the only
one in the state, we believe, which oc-
cupies building designed for an armory
and constructed with that use in view.
Many of them are in the situation of the
bennington company, which, according to
the Banner has no facilities for indoor
drills or rifle practice. Unable to keep
up its practice during the winter months.
the company must necessarily lose a por-
ton Of the knowledge Of tactics acquired
during the open season"
When the new law is carried into effect
all this will be remedied, and with suit
able military homes, there should be an
enrolment in the Guard greater in num-
Der and superior in Burling-
ton News.
