Miller of Winooski, whose petition for divorce was heard in Chittenden County court today, claims as the ground for separation that her marriage certificate was obtained under false pretenses and that the wedding was brought about through the use of drugs and undue influences. She testified she was living in Winooski seven years ago with her mother. She became acquainted with Miller, who brought milk to the house. One night he brought some liquor with him. Her mother took a drink or two and Mrs. Miller also drank, but rather against her will, she says. She said she drank from a different bottle from the one furnished her mother. After that she remembered little or nothing. She had a hazy idea that MIller went out and returned with a clergyman.In the morning she saw the marriage license but could not believe she was married and in a hysterical mood she tore the license up. Later she pieced it together. The clergyman's name on the certificate was Rev. F.O. Winans, she stated. She said she never lived with MIller and that she had always had her doubts as to whether or not she was married to him until last summer, seven years later, she investigated and found that she was married to Miller, the marriage been recorded in Winooski. The woman's mother told practically the same story. Miller, who is being sued, is now in Rutland, working in a hotel. He does not contest the case. According to the statement of the attorney for Mrs. MIller, the man admits everything except that the whiskey was drugged. He says it was good rye whiskey. Judge Slack, who is hearing the case, expressed a desire to get more evidence and an effort will be made to get hold of the minister who performed the ceremony so as to find out just what took pace. Mr. Winans, the clergyman named, was formerly a Methodist pastor at Winooski.

WALL SAPPED BY THAW. Workers Dig Frantically to Reach Two Victims Pinned Under Mass of Debris. FAIR HAVEN, Vt, May 12--Nicholas Stefano , 35 of Poultney, an Italian laborer, is dead and William Barber of Fair Haven is at his home in a serious condition as the result of an accident in the workings of the General Slate company when without warning a mass of rock estimated to weigh 100 tons become dislodged from the north wall of the quarry and buried both men under the mass. The disaster which is said to be the most serious in the history of the industry occurred at 7:45 o'clock this morning, about 15 minutes after the men had entered the quarry. Seven men were working on the floor of the pit when the slip took place. With the exception of Stefano, all fled. He seemed rooted to the spot with terror and was buried under the whole mass of rock.Barber was unable to move rapidly enough to avoid the slide and was caught by the extreme edge of the stone and earth. Other Workmen Knocked Down. The workmen who fled from the path of the slide were hurled from their feet by the impact of the rock on the quarry bottom. The crash of the rock and the cries of the workmen could be heard over the entire district in which the quarry is located. G. Hill Smythe of Boston, president of the company, who was at the workings on an inspection visit, announced that although the face of the quarry where the slip occurred had been blasted last Saturday, there was no loose rock left. He stated that in the opinion of expert rockmen the wall was safe and did not constitute a menace to workers.President Smythe said that in is opinion the accident was the direct result of frost coming out of the rock, the melting of ice in the seams and other weathering influences. This is the first accident of a serious nature in the six years in which the quarry has been operated. Barber Badly Injured. Barber was but partly buried under the rock, his legs being caught and badly crushed, and he suffered contusions and abrasions. He was taken from the pit as soon as the debris was removed from his body and carried in the office car to Fair Haven where he received medical attention. It was thought this afternoon he had sustained serious internal injuries and physicians declined to state the probable outcome of the case. Workmen dug frantically to uncover the body of Stefano in the hope that the man might still be living. When found the man was crushed beyond recognition, nearly every bone being broken by the terrific impact of the falling rock. The body was removed from the pit in the huge carrier and was taken to Poultney. Stefano Born in Italy. Stefano, better known as "Jumbo", was born in Italy and is understood to have been unmarried. He has a brother living in New York and his mother is living in Italy. President Smythe and Supt.Loughlin are endeavoring to locate his brother before definite funeral arrangements are made. Austin F. Burns, M. J. Laughlin, Frank Burns, Harry Brown and Walter Brown,all rockmen, were working in the quarry when the accident occurred and escaped death by only a narrow margin. The news of the slide brought hundreds of visitors to the quarry during the day.

Bowman, who died recently in Cuttingsville was offered for probate Friday by the executors. S. & L. M. Brown at the Surrogate's court in Glens Falls, N.Y. Until he came to Cuttingsville Mr. Brown lived in Stony Creek, N.Y., and had large interest there.The will was made December 25, 1885, it provides for the creation of a trust fund of $ 100,000, the income of which shall be devoted to the care and maintenance of the mausoleum erected by him in Cuttingsville some years ago at an expense of nearly $ 100,000. The remainder of is property is bequeathed in equal of his property to two nieces of his wife, Minnie Martin, who lived in the family for a long time, and Jennie Gifford of Akron,O. A codicil dated about two years later reduced the amount of the trust fund from $ 100,000 to $ 50,000. George P. Foster and Samuel F. Smith of Shrewsbury are made the trustees of this fund, and at their death it shall be turned over to a corporation formed for that purpose. Mr. Foster has since died and Mr. Smith is the only trustee living. The will contested by nephews and nieces of Mr. Bowman, who ,it is understood,will allege undue influence, incompetency to make a will and other charges. The delegation, it is expected, will be died this week in the court. The contestants are : Charles P., Laura L., Walter A. and Lyman Smith ; Eleanor E.,Joseph Edward B., George W. Edwin, jr., John B., Lyman S. and Hugh H. Congdon; Laura L. Hodges and Ella B. Ingalls, who live in Clarendon, except Laura L. Smith, who lives in Washington, ILL. The hearing opened Friday before Judge Cheritree of Glens Falls and formal proof of the execution of the will was made. The witnesses of the will was made. The witnesses of the will, which was executed in Glens Falls, were Daniel Peck, William A. Wait and Mr. Kin of that town. The will was signed at the law offices of S. & L. M. Brown, according to the testimony of Mr. Peck, who became a witness at the request of Mr. Bowman. Mr. Wait did not remember any of the circumstances , but identified his signature as well as the others. The witnesses to the execution of the codicil, which was done in Stony Creek, were Judge Brown and William H. Allen of Boston. Ex-Judge Lawrence, counsel for the contestants, objected to the probate of the will on the ground that the Surrogate's court had no jurisdiction, as Mr. Bowman lived in Rutland county and the will should be offered for probate there.The proponents claimed that Mr. Bowman had large interests in Stony Creek and although he had property in Cuttingsville , he only went there to look after it when he was taken sick and died. The court overruled the objection. All the attesting witnesses to the will and codicil were examined and cross-examined, when an adjournment was taken until January 4. It is thought that at that time the hearing will last several says. The amount of the property at stake is estimated to be about $ 200,000. The lawyers engaged in the case are A. D. Wait of Fort Edward, who appears for the executor; Joel C. Baker of Rutland for Minnie Martin; Edwin E. Voris of the firm of Barit & Voris of Akron, O., for Jennie Gifford and King & Ashley, with Mr. Lawrence, for the contestants.
