Nash was arrested Monday morn
inc in n saloon on Battery street. He
was taken to the police station and
when searched he was found to have
in his clothes SIS in bills and some
change, fine gold watch twenty-one
Jewel Rockford movement with 90
wear guarantee case to which was at
tached a gold chain. His pockets also
contained a large jack knife, the tip
of one of the blades having been
broken off. the break looking like
new one. There was also a hypo-
dermic syringe, book of hypodermic
needles and two bottles Of morphine
sulphate Neither syringe nor needles
had been used and the seals of the
bottles, worth one dollar each, had not
been broken. The story as told by
Nash in regard to the use to which
the dope" taking outfit was to be
nut seems somewhat far-fetched He
stated that he had purcha sed the NOR
phine at drug store in this city af-
ter having received prescription
from a physician here. An investiga-
ton by the police did not reveal any
drugstore which had sold the two bot
ties to him on n prescription but the
syringe and needles were purchased
at a drugstore where he was refused
morphine unless he had a physicians
prescription. Nash said Monday af-
ternoon that he had not used the
syringe but intended to do so.
Details of the case that were work
ed out by the police Monday were
that Nash had been to the Turk store
at about closing time Saturday night
and had purchased two pairs of socks
for quarter. one pair of which were
identified Monday as those he wore
This Nash admitted. O'Malleys suit
case was also found at the depot
where 1t had been checked for safe
keeping In it were some cartridges
and some dirty clothes On Nashs
person at the time Of arrest was also
found an instrument evidently for use
in the picking of locks or for remov-
ing key from a keyhole so that the
lock could be turned 1t was made
from the handle OF "a teaspoon or fork,
which had been filed down so that it
could be inserted in even fiat key

Vermont Notes
News of the State Gathered
Here and There.
Apples from Green Mountain state
Rank High at New England
Fruit show Held in
Boston.

Vermont had her own way at the New
England Fruit Show fair in Mechanics
building, says the Boston Transcript, bid
ding for the good will of all the visitors.
The little State was trying to make the
people understand that she can raise APP
pies and Is raising them in quite large
quantities, for her representatives at the
fair were giving away real apples free
to everybody who came.
There never was such apple-eating In
the hall before, at least not at the expense
of the Vermont farmers, and the demon
stration was more convincing than col
umes Of statistics.
There were some statistics, too, to sup
plement the epicurean argument. For in
stance, the visitors were informed that
in the course of fair apple year Vermont
would have about 100000 bushels of APP
pies at home, like those given away. That
was not the largest crop Of apples that
any State produced, but 1t was the 22d
from the top on a list Of State crops which
Is regarded as big show for small
State like Vermont. Vermonters know the
reasons for this, and summarize them in
the following modest claim:
vermont Is one of the best natural
apple regions in the United States. It's
principal advantages are unsurpassed soil
and climate conditions superior flavor of
Vermont apples, excellent keeping quail
tiles of Vermont apples, cheapness of good
orchard land. and proximity OF the best
markets.
"Vermonts soil is fertile and underlying
1t are granite and limestone rocks from
which the soil has been made which Is
congenial to the apple. AS a rule, Yer
mont has abundant rains, the summers
are warm and the winters not too severe,
but cold enough to keep down insect pests
and fungus diseases which are less prev
alent here than in many other States.
"Cheapness of orchard lands Is a great
inducement to prospective apple growers
The best apple lands usually can be pur-
chased for not more than $50 per acre,
and much good land can be purchased
for prices considerably less than that fig
ure These prices seem almost ridiculous
ly cheap as compared with big rates ask
ed for apple lands in Oregon. According
to apple growers, trees can be bought and
set out here for $40 per acre. 1t will be
seen that the amount of capital needed
for investment in apple lands Is very much
less than in some other States

ANOTHER ARREST,
Joseph Nash Held ON Suspicion Of As
sisting Edward O'MaIIey.

The police Monday succeeded in
arresting Joseph Nash, the man who
they think assisted Edward OMalley.
who broke into Turks store Sunday
night and who at that time gave the
name of Frank Raymond Chief Of
Police Russell learned that O'Malley
and Nash had been together for
couple of days and OMalley admitted
to the chief that Nash was with him
They came to Burlington from Albany
early Friday morning and have been
together since. O'Malley further
stated that it was Nash who took the
glass from the window and that he,
O'Malley, went down into the store
through the skylight because he was
the smaller man and that he was to
have opened the back door to admit

A. Rankin johnson, Whale pitcher,
comes up to specifications when it is
a matter of throwing the ball over
the plate with the usual amount of
puzzle stuff on it. But the big fellow
still has a few things to learn that
are essential to any pitcher who stars
in the higher classifications. He does
not field his position properly.
In the sixth inning, with Menosky
of Pittsburgh on second, Mike Now
rey hit solidly to left. 1t was a fast
smash, and Mann returned it to VIII
son in plenty of time to have nailed
Menosky, who was scoring. But the
ball got away from the catcher and
rolled to the stand, Mowrey racing
all the way to third.
In the meantime, johnson was dec

was useless at that moment He
should have been behind Wilson to
take care of just such throw as oc-

ton arose. And when the smoke
