Gov. H f. Graham, Major Harvey j..
Goodell and the members of the board OF
control gathered about Q o'clock this
morning at Brattleboro without warning
to the officers of the Brattleboro retreat,
and inspected that institution, after
which they went through the Austine in
stitution. Governor Graham was at Put
nev last evening. Benjamin Gates and
w. +. Scott left here in time last night
to Join them this morning. j. f. Weeks
and William Davis left their respective
towns in time this morning TO join them
at Brattleboro. A thorough inspection OF
the place occurred. Following as it does
after the recent excitement in the legis-
lature, il caused quite little furry. Al
though it presumably is the regular in
spection, these making it decided that
the surprise would do no harm.
Arrangements for the first of a series
of matches between the Apollo club of
Montpelier and the Nincitia club of Barre
have been completed, and the two clubs
will assemble in this city next Wednes
day evening for a tournament in pool,
billiards and whist. IL is expected that
the series this season will conform in
length to those Of other years, when four
meetings constituted the tourney. Vim
citia club will be the first to entertain
aud thereafter the clubs will alternate
between the two cities. A local tourna-
ment in pool and billiards is being held

Chicago, Nov. Chicago answered

With tremendous vote II swent
the tic-Republican fusion
judicial ticket into Office despite So
cialist triumph In one and possibly
three wards and in country districts,
of German population.
More than 100000 votes were cast
the greatest judicial election the
county has ever seen. In the city
alone the IA fusion candidates were
given an 10000 lead.
The Independents ran poor third.
North side wards, commonly STYLED
German districts, demonstrated their
Americanism by almost solidly back
ing the fusion ticket. Incomplete re-
turns from the country towns. howev-
er, gave the Socialists lead of ten
votes to precinct. But even If main
tanned, ii will not affect appreciably
the city's deluge of loyalty ballots.
