considerable surprise as the general ex-
pectation had been that an automobile |
tax would be substituted for the gaso- |

| of the German imperial guard A sur
vivor of the battle who arrived in Paris
yesterday told the following story of the
fight:
The sun was just rising when our
outposts came back on our main force
and informed us that the imperial guard
was coming. Soon after we could see
helmets, glistening in the sun, rapidly
advancing.
Deceived by our silence. the guard
came on even to the barbed defenses.
and commenced cutting them before our
trumpets sounded an order for volleg
firing. The first line Of the enemy
seemed just to melt away under our fire.
The second line appeared to be shaken
for an instant, but only for a second
Another volley and the second line
thinned out, but a third line came on
and the mass crossed the line of our
wire defenses.
when charge was sounded we
rushed forward to meet them. Then our
boys commenced to fall, but our impetus
was too much for the aristocratic guard,
which was moved down and dispersed.

NOT GUILTY OF ARSON.
Mrs. Louisa Johnston Is Acquitted in
Queen City Park Case.

Burlington. Oct. 3-The case OF STATE
vs. Mrs. Louisa Johnston, one OF the cot
tagers at Queen City park, who was ac'
cused of setting fire to the Montreal cot
tage owned by her, fire having been dis.
covered in the piano and in the basement
of the building one day last fall just
after she left the place, was completed
in Chittenden county court yesterday
The final arguments and the charge to
the jury were made in the morning and
the case went to the jury shortly before
II o'clock. At half past two the jury
returned their verdict, which was to the
effect that they had found Mrs. Johns
ton not guilty. States Attorney Hop.
kins Immediately moved that the case
of arson against Mrs. Cassie Gleason,
the respondents daughter, be mol
pressed. The court ordered the entry as
requested, and both respondents were
discharged from further custody.
The case was on trial since Monday
afternoon 1t was shown in the evi-
dence that both women left the Mont
real cottage about noon of Oct. "a, 1913,
and that not long afterward fire was
discovered in the piano on the ground
floor and in the basement. A part Of
the allegation of the state was that the
fire was set for the purpose of defraud
ing the insurance company OF the insur
ance on the piano and the cottage and
the policy in the case was an important
part of the evidence, the question of how
the same should be construed coming
up. particularly as to whether the pol
icy covered the insurance on the piano at
the time of the fire. Mrs. Gleason, the
daughter. was an important |
witness for the defense and testified |
that the piano was a present from her /
father, who had been dead for some |
time, and that she cherished the piano
ls a gift from him.
Mrs Gleason's testimony was straight
forward and to the point, and she made
IN excellent witness, creating a favor
lbe impression. After the Jury had an
bounced the verdict through the fore
nan, H. B. Hall of this city, the jurors
we're excused from further duty until
Tuesday morning Of next week.
