THREE SIS FINES.
Were Imposed on Respondents in Barre
City Court.

Pleas of guilty from George Walker,
Alex. Mutch and John McPhee were reg
istered in city court this morning when
the trio that the officers say raised high
jinks in the A. Tomasi block Sunday
night appeared for sentence Walker
was fined Sl5 and costs of $S23, McPhee
received SIS fine and costs of $3.50,
while Muteh's fine was also Sl5, with
costs of $9.5s attached In making rec
concentrations for sentence to Acting
Judge A. A. Sargent, Grand Juror A. g.
tFay urged a measure of leniency, mas
much as two of the men bore physical
evidence of punishment All three were
asked to narrate the events which led
up to the row and all three told story
that differed not at all in its salient
features.
According to their version, the trou-
bic came to a climax when McPhee and
Muteh, in wrestling clinch, toppled
over banister rail apd We're precipitat-
ed down fight of stairs. Walker tes-
titled TO attempting mediation.
McPhee addressed the court at the
passing of sentence and said he guessed
he would take the jail sentence, as work
was scarce at this season. Walker hoped
to gain his liberty soon, as he wished
to send some money to Scotland for
Christmas. Mutch intimated that he
could pay n fine.
With three breach of peace cases dis
posed of, the roll call at the police sta
tion was sliced in half Mutch, Walker
and McPhee had been in since Thurs
day. Leonard st. John is still at head
quarters, waiting for someone to furnish
bail in the sum of $1,000 on an alleged
selling charge. Last night Mrs. st. John
prevailed upon friends to furnish bail of
$500 on a similar charge. She was re-
leased. Harry Sargent furnished 5000
bail for his wife, who was arrested
Thursday on an extortion charge. Her
case will be heard Tuesday. The ST.
Johns viii appear in court next week.

house at 76 Fortney place was raided

MYSTERY DIsPELLED.
Concerning Death of Mrs. Helen L. Mack
ay in Hospital

New York, Dec. l3.--Owing to its un.
usual circumstances, the death of Mrs,
Helen l.. Mackay ON an operating ta-
Bile at the Lexington sanitarium has
caused big sensation here where her
late husband. DIR. Donald Sage Macksy,
was perhaps the foremost church leader
during his pastorate at the fashionable
Fifth Avenue Collegiate Reformed
church.
Whatever suspicion, aroused by the
fact that Mrs. Mackay went to the SAN
itarium under an assumed name and
the statement that only the merest Whit
of chloroform had been administered aft
er tests had shown her heart normally
strong, was dspelled last night. how
ever, by the report of DR.. Schultze, the
coroner's physician, who made an autop
sy in the afternoon. He asserted that
Mrs. Mackay died from fatty degenera-
tion OF the heart as a result of the adj
ministration of an anaesthetic for an
operation He also reported that he
found evidences of slight operation,
but that it was not of nature to couse
her death There was not the slightest
indication of anything improper in her
treatment, DIR. Schultze declared.
DR.. Henry We'll OF 7s2 West End ave-
nue., the physician who performed the
operation, said yesterday it was simply
in the nature of an examination to deter
mine whether she had cancer necess-
tating more serious operation. He
said he removed slight piece of tissue
for microscopical examination.

IN MONTPELIER CITY COURT.
Cow Case of Fernandez Against Ala Oc
cupied Nearly All Of Yesterday.

The case of Eusebo Fernandez against
Jesus Ala, alleging fraud in the sale of
COW by the plaintiff to the defendant
last October, occupied all of yesterday
and then was continued till Jan. 2, as
the defense was not able to produce one
of its important witnesses.
The plaintiff claims that the COW was
guaranteed to be sound and to give six
quarts of milk a day, but that she
proved to be diseased and did not give
the guaranteed amount of milk. The
defense said the COW was not guaran-
teed by Ala. Damages of $50 are asked.
Attorney Earl r. Davis of Barre, at
torney for the plaintiff, asked to have
the case discontinued, as he hadn't the
evidence or witnesses present to prove
his case, but Judge Harvey denied the
motion, for the purpose of holding the
plaintiff TO this particular form of ac-
ton. Attorney Davis then moved to
continue the case, and expects on Jan. 2,
the date set for the resumiug of the
case, to produce the witness wanted, the
man who sold the COW to Ala.

BIG FIRE AT PoULTNEY.
Business Buildings Scene of s2,5oo Blaze
in Evening.

Poultney, Dec. 13.-Fire which orig
mated i'm the d. J. Keefe meat market
in the Parker block early last evening,
practically destroyed the structure and
damaged two adjoining business blocks,
the total loss being estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000, with partial in
surance. All the burned buildings were
wooden structures. 1t was by far the
most disastrous fire that has visited
this village in many years. All of the
buildings are located on Main street in
the center of the business section and
only hard work upon the part of the fire
department and many volunteers pre-
vented q confagration.
The fire, which was discovered about
1880 o'clock, is believed to have originat-
ed from an overheated stovepipe in the
Keefe meat marekt. The department ar
rived quickly and soon had five streams
of water on the blaze, which at that time
was confined. TO the Parker block. 1t
was not until about $3.50 o'clock that
the flames were controlled. Individual
losses cannot be learned at present. The
heaviest losers are the Keefe market and
the Frank Bartilino fruit store.
The individual losses are;.
Bixby block, occupied by j. B. Drew,
druggist, and apartments of Henry
Mumford.
Parker block, occupied by d. J. Keefe,
meat market, and apartments of Will
liam Dalton.
Bartilino building, occupied by Frank
Bartilino, fruit dealer, who occupied the
upper story as living apartments.
Nathan Jones, jewelry store.
The stock of jewelry from the Nathan
Jones store was removed to the Citizens
National bank and the stock of the Drew
drug store, was, to a considerable ex-'
tent, saved. 1t was carried to Odd Eel
lows hall.
The loss viii be only partial on the
buildings occupied by these merchants
William Dalten's loss will be total and
Mumford saved portion of his effects.
As all of the merchants had heavy
stocks in anticipation of the holiday
trade, their loss may total more than
estimated.

the house afire as young Darling picked

DOESN'T BELIEVE
PROUTY WILL RUN
Chairman Thompson of Vermont Pro.
gressive Party Says, Too, That the
Rank and File. Will Not
Permit "Straddling."

|. According TO Charles II. Thorpson
| Vermont state chairman of the Progress
sive party, in an interview last night, he
has heard nothing from interstate COM
merce commissioner Charles A. Prouty
relative to the suggestion that he run
as a candidate for the United States
Senate from Vermont, and at the same
time Mr.. Thompson expressed the be-
lief that Mr.. Prouty would not become
a candidate for the position. 1t will be
recalled that Mr.. Prouty promised sew
eral Progressive party leaders in Boston
few weeks since that he would reply
in three weeks to their suggestiea, fol-
lowing it up, after this information had
become public, by the statement that if
he should run it would be as a Republi-
can.
Mr.. Thompson said that he was going
to Washington next week and that if he
has time while there be will call on Mr..
Prouty to interrogate him as to his .po-
sition, adding that the rank and file of
the Vermont Progressive party WIN not
stand for any straddling on the part of
Mr.. Prouty."
Continuing, Mr.. Thompson said; II
what Mr.. Prouty has in his mind and
have replied that ! believe he is rhying
a waiting game waiting to see what
the Dillingham; strength is to be in the
Republican convention
Although he has declared his ambi-
tion, even from youth to be senator,
think that he is more valuable to the
government in the new position just Of
fered in the physical valuation of rail-
roads.
"But If he wants TO be senator now is
the time. If he accepts our offer with
its attached provision that he stump fer
the other Progressive candidates we are
prepared to call a convention in Feb
ruary if necessary and put through his
nomination. We won't allow the Repub-
licans to nominate him first ii he decides
TO run, but ] personally believe he will
not stand for office We shall interro-
gate him further however"
