Mead of Colchester Removed as Postmaster Now Icdicted by-Grand Jury. L. M. Mead, postmaster at Colchester furnished b.iil in the sum of $200 beforo G. E.

Johnson, clerk of the United States courts yesterday. An indictment w.is found against Mr. Mead by the grand jury at the recent session of the United States courts in this city. The salary of the postmaster at Colchester is dependent upon the number of stamps cancelled and Mr. Mead is charged with getting people from other places to bring their letters to the Colchester office and thereby Increase his salary.

The evidence as presented before the grand jury is not obtainable but from oher sources Mr. Mead's version of the story has become known. He claims that a man entered the postofflce one day and asked him to mail a large number of letters, saying that he was very busy and that it would be a favor if Mr. Mead would affix the stamps and see that the letters were sent. The stamps placed on these letters were bought at Burlington.

This Mr. Mead did. Later the man who had the letters came with another lot and asked Mr. Mead to do the same thing again. This Mr.

Mead claims he refused to do as he had been informed that by so doing he might become liable to prosecution. The other party then spoke of the increase in pay Mr. Mead had received by the large number of stamps he had cancelled on the letters mailed before and of the adidtional increase he would receive by mailing the new lot. He ended by demanding a per cent, of the profits made by Mr. Mead on the cancellation of the former lot.

Mr. Mead claims he finally gave the man $25 in order to get rid of him. BRANDON. The report received in town last week that Dr. Preston of Ticonderoga.

CLERGYMEN AND LICENSE COMMISSIONERS. Letter from Bishop Hall on the One Serving- as the Ochar. The action of the Rev. Mr. Roberts of Parre in declining to serve as license commissioner having been criticised by the Rutland Herald, Bishop Hall wrote that journal as follows: Having advised the Rev.

Mr. Roberts to decline the appointment of license commissioner at Barre (his own judgment coinciding with mine), you will allow me to explain that the reasons on which he based his declination were not of any such sort as your criticism implies. Neither of us would think public office in itself, and certainly not public service, beneath the dignity of a clergyman. What we did feel was that the duties belonging to this particular office of license commissioner were Incompatible with the duties of a clergyman. The former has to presecute offenders and exact penalties; the latter often has to receive the confidence of offenders, and to endeavor to restore aiid heal them.

The church and the State are in such matters working for the same ends, the maintenance of law and the promotion of sobriety (I prefer the word in this connection to temperance). But each must work in its own way, and use its own weapons. Force belongs to the St.ite, moral suasion to the church. Many of us. whether clergymen or laymen, are members of both bodies, and we intend faithfully to discharge the duties and accept the responsibilities, as wc claim the privileges, belonging to both positions.

But a clergyman, as an official representative of the church, does well to avoid undertaking official duties of a different nature, where either office might handicap him in the discharge of the other. ARTHUR C. A. HALL, Pishop of Vermont. March 7, im.

Statement from Mr. Burke In Blatlon to the Uajorelty. To the Editor of the Free Press: On March 3 the inspectors of election in their respective wards, consisting of fifteen persons, nine republicans and six democrats, declared the number of votes cast and to be counted therein for Donly C. Hawley and James E. Burke, respectively, for mayor and as a result of such declaration James B.

Burke had a majority of eleven, but through a mistake of the clerk in ward five fourteen ballots ordered to be counted for Burke by the inspectors were omitted by him in his returns to the city clerk whereby it appeared on the face of the returns that Hawley had a majority of three. At the lime the clerk of ward five filed his statement with the city clerk he staled to him that there were fourteen votes not appearing in his statement which had been ordered by the inspectors to be counted for Burke. That same evening the inspectors of ward five tiled a statement with the city clerk that fourteen votes as ordered counted for Burke- did not appear in the clerk's statement and it is now attached to the first statement. The clerk of the ward then filed a new and corrected statement with the city clerk, giving Burke the fourteen votes as ordered by the inspectors, which gives him a majority of eleven. In view of these facts it appears beyond successful contradiction that 1 was elected mayor by eleven majority and 1 shall use all honorable means to secure the result of the people's verdict.

To this end I invoke the support of all honorable and fair minded citizens. J. E. BURKE. Burlington, March 9.

A Badly Swollen Cured by Chamberlain's Tain Balm. "During the past summer I had typhoid fever for seven weeks," says William M. Gentry, a well-known Justice of the Peace of Dawson Ga. "After the fever left me the disease settled in my leg and it was swollen to twice its natural size. 1 tried the doctor and many liniments, all of which did me no good until I was ad vised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm.

The first application of that relieved me 'and I am now able to walk. The swelling is fast leavine and 1 will soon be well. Pain Balm is the best liniment on earth." -A THE TWENTIETH CENTERS' 'HOTEL. is understood that the new hotel which is to be a partof the New York Central's Grand Central station at Isew York, and which will be by far the largest hotel in 'the world, will be called the "Twentieth Century Hotel." This name seems appropriate, as the hotel is being constructed in the early part of the twentieth century, and by the company that has made a household word all round the world of their "Twentieth Century Limited." the twenty-hour train between New and Chicago, which brings nearer together the two great commercial centres of America. We are just beginning to appreciate what it means to be able to travel practically a thousand miles in twenty hours.

You meet this morning in New York a man from St. Paul who left his home after dinner night before last, and who comes here to consult a New York banker in regard to some large financial matter, and can. if he wishes return this afternoon at 2:45 and be in Chicago to-morrow morning at 9:45, and after having spent a whole business day in Chicago, can be in his office in St. Paul the next morning at the usual hour. Financial and professional men agree that the facilities for rapid travel that the American people now enjoy are one of the foundations for the continued supremacy of America in manufactures and in commerce.

The burglars were frightened away and escaped without a particle of booty. Entrance was effected by the smashing of a light of glass in the side door which is in the alley on the west side, one man squeezed himself through the opening while his confederate stood guard outside; the crash of glass was heard by two men who stood in front of the store and who' started to lock for the police: it is sup- posed that the man on guard heard the con-. versation ar.d warned the man inside, as they had disappeared three minutes later; when the police appeared. The man who entered the store must have been badly i cut in getting in. as he left a trail of bloody hand prints wherever he went in the store as he felt his way around.

Mr. ElKs came to the store and after looking around said that nothing was missing. It is supposed that the break is the work of amateurs and probably boys. The po lice are making a diligent search for a party with cut hands. The next business in order was the elec tion of a board of license commissioners.

Alderman McCarty nominated John J. Finn for the term of six years and Mr. Finn was elected by a unanimous vote. For the four vear term Aldcm-ian Roach nominated Walfr Soule while Alderman Blake nominated H. Charles Royce.

The vote was again a tie on party lines and the mayor cast the deciding vote for Mr. Soule. For the short term Alderman Sturtevant nominated Henry A. Dunbar and he was elected unanimously. The matter of the selection of other city offi cers was by vote deferred until the nxt meeting of the council.

The committee on chartties and corrections was instructed to advertise for bids for the medical care of the poor of the city for the coming year and also to get bids to include the care of small pox patients.
