EXPRESS COMPANIES PAY TAXES
American and National Companies
Hand State Treasurer $4,000.

MONTPELIER, Dee. H. - Further
proceedings by the state tax commits
sioner, Charles A. Plumley of North
field, to secure the payment of taxes
due from the American and National
Express companies were probably made
unnecessary Saturday, when counsel
for the companies paid to the state
treasurer between $4,000 and $4,000
taxes and fee for 1914. The money was
paid under protest. s...
The tax commissioner a few months
ago brought suit against the American,
National Canadian and Western Elk
press companies to compel payment of
over due taxes. It is expected that the
Canadian and Western companies will
take the same action as the other de-
PENDANTS in the suit. .....
The matter of paying the taxes had
been hanging fire for many months
and promptly upon the expiration of
the time limit under which such taxes
must be paid Commissioner Plumley
brought suit.
The case was entered in the Mont
pelier City court and pro forma judg
memt entered in favor of the state
The case was appealed by the express
companies to Washington county
court.

OLDEST METHODIST
DIVINE, 1O5, DEAD
Rev. s. W. Bidwen of East Middlebury
Preached a Sermon ON His Tooth
>s.tt.hs Anniversary.

b MIDDLEBURY, Vt, Dec. 14.-Rey. |
Sedgwiek W. Bidwell of East Middle
bury, the Oldest Methodist clergyman
in the United States and probably in
the world, who observed his 105th
birthday last week Sunday, died early
yesterday morning, having suffered a
general breakdown during the last
week.
Mr.. Bidwell was born in Stafksboro,
VT, Dec. 6, 1909, his parents being
among the first settlers of the town.
He finished his studies in the district
schools of Starksboro in his 18th year
and entered the Hinesburg Vermont
academy in 1884 After six months
study in that institution he was ad
mitted to the Methodist ministry. He
| held pastorates in % towns in Yer
| mont and New York state. His last
sermon was preached at East Middle
| bury on his Tooth birthday. He said
he had officiated at 100 funerals and
| 329 marriages.
He was twice married, in 1888 to
| Miss Evalina l.. Smith of Moncton,
and in 1851 to Lucinda A. Lnppor of
Middlebury. Both wives died many
years ago.
Rev Mr.. Bidwell, for nearly 50 years
| a preacher, retained his faculties to
TelndFhdDle dtgfet up 20 MS 1dSt III
ness. His memory reached back three
generations apd he often related some
of the incidents in the battle of Platts-
burg.
The venerable preacher was evident
ly destined for the ministry and he
used to relate with considerable pleas
ure a little incident that occurred when
he was six years old. At the close OF
his first day at school the little fellow
invited several of his playmates to
gather about him. Then he mounted a
stump and preached.
At the age of seven he could deelaim
tho English reader and won a prize of
sweetmeats for committing a selection
to memory. 80
In the year 1884 Mr.. Bidwen was
given license to preach by the presid-
: ing elder of the church. He was then
25 years of age. On several occasions
Il he performed the marriage ceremony
and was given bushel of potatoes OF
a bushel of corn as a fee. On some oc
! casions the recompense was smaller.
Until within a short time he read
letters without the aid of glasses.
One of Rev. Mr.. Bidwell s sons en-
( listed in Company B, 9th Vermont Vol
, unteers, Sept. s, 1861. The son was
badly wounded in the Battle of the
Wilderness, but recovered and reen
listed. .s
