The Montpelier Argus thus editorialIy
speaks of Rutland, our Town Hall. and
the mass rehearsal of the children of
schools on the forenoon of Thursday,
June 9th:
The Town Hall al Rutland is new

the kind. The hall viii seat 100 per
sons. II is a credit to the generons en-
terprise Of the people of Rutland, ard
sneak a good word. too for those gen
tlemen who have had it especially in
charge.
Thursday forenoon the children of the
various schools in Rutland-wlo in rali-
sic are under the instruction of Mr.
Geo A. Mietzke-held a mass rehearsal
in the new hall. They numbered FIVE
hundred and were n pleasant sight.
Their singing showed the advantages TO
be had from the study of music in the
schools. and indicated also the good for
tune of the people of Rutland in having
so efficient and persevering teacher for
this work among them.
Rutland is a smart and thriving town.
Contrary to the fears of some. the leas-
ing of the railroad TO the Vermont Cen
trail has not affected if unfavorably.
Merchants Row and Center street seem
continually thronged with teams and
footmen. and are perhaps the two most
active business avenues in Vermont.
The town he's many fine and expensive
residences, also handsome and s1bstan-
tial business blocks with fronts of iron
and marble The residence of General

MOLTEN Iron POURED OVER A MANS
PROSTATE BoDY.-A most terrible and
heartrending affair occurred in Ransom's
foundery, Albany, Friday afternoon. The
employees of the establishment were en-
gagged carrying the molten iron from the
cupola to the basker While passing
through one of the aisles Thomas Sheehy,
who was conveying ladle filled with
the iron, dropped some on the foot of
Nicholas Shilford. Shilford was inn
pressed that it was intentional. He inn
mediately ran to the water near by, into
which he inserted his foot. He then re-
turned to bis post and, as young Sheehy
was passing him again. knocked him
down. In the fall young Shelby was
almost burned to death by hot iron,
which, by some means, got on his per-
son. 1t is alleged that he fell on some
ladies filled with the red hot metal that
stood near by, but young Sheehy says
that Shilford, after knocking him down,
poured the contents of his ladle over his
person, and then struck him with the
ladle.~ Sheehy was burned in frightful
and probably fatal manner. The flesh
on his breast, abdomen, groin and legs
was carried off by the hot iron, as it
rolled down his person. Frantic with
the pain of the burning, Sheehy picked
himself up, and madly rushed towards
the door to get out in the open air. AT
the door he was met by Mr.. Low and

others, and it was as much as they could
do to hold him until his burning garments
were torn from his terribly mutilated
person. He had to be thrown down and
held until the work could be accom-
plished. Shilford, on seeing what he
had done, fled from the premises. DR..
Mosher, police surgeon, was called, and
after some difficulty succeeded in dress
ing the wounds of Sheehy, whose whole
front presented a terrible spectacle. The
doctor is fearful of the result A thor
ough search of the whole lower section
of the city was made, and Shilford was
finally captured at house on Nucella
street.
