The Chapman NIonu ment.

After several previous unsuccessful APP
plications to the Legislature for an appro-
priation of one thousand dollars for the
erection Of monument at the grave of
Hon. Nathaniel Chapman, one of Yer
monts greatest jurists, and her first Sena-
tor In Congress, at Its last session the Gen
eral Assembly voted an appropriation of
six hundred dollars This was but JUS
tice to the eminence of the man and the
fair fame of the Commonwealth. The
committee named in the act conferred with
Governor Converse at Middetown, on the
Gath inst, in reference to the design and
erection of the monument. Major John
A. Salisbury of Rutland, Roswell Bue of
Middletown, Cyrus Cramton and George
Capron of Tinmouth, were appointed a
committee to make contract for it.
Yesterday the committee contracted
with w. N. Oliver for monument TO be
wrought of marble at the Oliver Marble
Works, in this village, at cost of 5000,
to be completed ON the first of September.
Hon. Barnes Frisbie, of Poultney, has
been appointed committee to prepare All
inscription, after consultation with mem.
bers of the legal profession. The time and
manner of unwilling the monument and the
exercises connected Herewith are to be left
to the Rutland county bar to arrange.
The people of Tinmouth will remove the
remains from their present resting place tc
the new cemetery and prepare the grounds
for the erection of the monument. The
uuveiling of the monument will take place
early in September, probably during til,
session of the Rutland county court.

The Legislative InvestigatiOn.

The legislative committee to investigate
the Vermont Central railroad management
met at Montpelier on the Goth, pursuant
to adjournment, and had conference of
two days in agreeing upon report. They
all united, contrary to the expectations of
many, upon the character and points of
report, but as they had not time to fully
embody their views, they made an assign
ment of duties and adjourned to meet at
st. Adams next Wednesday. They reso-
lutely refuse to give any indication of their
conclusions until the report is formally
drawn up and signed and then we ex-
pect to be able to lay it before our read
ers.
The printing of the testimony has been
delayed by the failure of the reporter to
write out his notes. About $50 pages of
II are now done. He has promised "copy"
however, Monday, and if he fulfills, the
book will be issued early in July. 1t will
be distributed by Gov. Converse to each
Senator and Representative, and possibly,
also to each town clerks Office There is
an active demand from all parts of the state
for copies.-iSt. Adams Messenger.

The IIoosac Tunnel Horror.

The late disaster at the Hoosac tunnel,
which was reported yesterday, was caused
wholly by carelessness and was even worse
than at first announced. Five persons are
dead and one is so badly injured that his
life is despaired of. The men started on
the train from the East end to enter the
tunnel, forty, pounds of giant powder in a
box being placed on the tender exposed
to the sparks of the engine. The pow
der first took fire, starting the fuses,
and the whole exploded with great
force, destroying the cab in which the
men rode and everything near it. The
firemen and two boys were killed outright
and three Others injured so seriously that
two have died, and the third, the engineer,
Frank Kingsley, lost his eyes and will moi
probably recover. The blame is laid to the
blaster for putting the powder so near the
engine, and for having exploders mixed in
with the powder. The dead are Dennis
McFadden, Timothy Lynch, Charles Ferne,
Stephen Brown and boy named Buckley.

The LAST LONG Island MURDER
From developments made recently there
seems to be no further doubt that Mr..
Samuel Jones, who was found dead in the
well on his premises at South Oyster Bay
on Saturday morning, was foully murdered.
The circumstances of the case, 30 far as
they can yet be made public, are as fol-
lows
MIR. Jones was bachelor, aged seventy
years, and resided alone in his farmhouse,
his nearest neighbor being an Irishman
named Peter Maloney, who lived with his
family in small house on the farm near
by, and worked the farm for Mr.. Jones.
The deceased was last seen alive on Friday
evening by brother, who called upon him
and found him engaged in preparing his
evening meal. From the facts that he lived
alone and was reputed to be wealthy, and
from the position in which his body was
found, partly covered with stones, stimps,

Hen PRICES OF PRODUCE The long
continued dry weather has caused a rise
in the price of vegetables. The main ad-
vance is in the price of vegetables, though
this is due not entirely to the drought, but
to the fact that last week dealers from
Pennsylvania and New York went to the
Boston market and drained the market ad-
vancing the price from eighty cents to from
$3.50 to $1.75 per bushel.
A lot of new potatoes arrived at Boston
from Norfolk, Virginia, which were eager

The general advance in the price of ycge-
tables seems to be fully twenty-five cents
within the last week, and if this weather
continues many days longer the advance
Will be more marked with the danger of a
very scant supply.

A DELIBERATE MURDER BY Boy IN
MAINK.-Maine papers gave an account, a
few days ago, of the shooting of girl,
fourteen years old, by boy of the same
age, at Madisons Bridge, Somerset county.

wilful and deliberate murder, the facts of

SHAW, THE CAMBRIDGE, On. Y.,) Poi
soNER.-When Shaw, the Cambridge, N.
Y, poisoner, was arraigned at the recent
term of the court at Salem, N. V, A. S.
Burdock, Esq, of Granville, was assigned
as his counsel. We learn from the Troy
Press that ''the question was raised by the
court whether the county ever paid law
yers assigned by courts to defend impecu-
NOUS criminals and Charles Hughes an
swercd that it would not, as he had pre-
sented bill to the Board of Supervisors
for services rendered the county in defend
ing Smith of Fort Ann, charged with the
murder of his wife, and that the Board
would not allow him penny therefor.
The Judge replied that he thought the
county did right in not paying his bill and
1t was enough for him to do to pay the ex-
penses of the prosecution. Mr.. Hughes
answered by saying that he thought the
county should have paid his bill, as he
saved it the cost and trouble of hanging
Smith. A special term of this court has
been appointed for October ID, next, at
Salem, to be held probably by Justice
Joseph Potter, of Whitehall, for the trial
of Shaw and Mrs. Briggs

POISONING CAsE.-A woman named

she was poisoned by parties other than her.

The deceased was a VIGOROUSLY bad char
acter, and had been living for about three
months with one Edwin Thomas, within a
few rods of whose house her body wss
found. Thomas has several wives living,
and his general character is such as to
make him decidedly odious in his commu-
nifty.
An inquest was held at which Thomas
and his son 10 years old testified that she
told them she had taken poison and show
ed them the bottle of poison, which Thorn
as had used for polishing brass and other
metals.

SMITHS EXECUTION 1t is the opinion
of medical men who studied Smiths case
very carefully, that his apparent calmness
during the last moments of his life cost him
powerful struggle. and that, if the exc
cution had been delayed one minute after
the black cap was drawn over his face, his
legs would have refused to perform their
duty, and he would have broken down
completely. The tremendous excitement
which he suppressed showed itself, in spite
of all he could do, in the appearance of
his face, which was not pale, but actually
streaked with white and red and in his
quick, convulsive movements, and extreme
ly nervous and rapid utterance. He had
made up his mind to 'die game" and was
only deferred, through considerable coax
ing beforehand by the sheriff and turnkey,
from calling upon the audience to see how
'gamey" he met his fate. 1t is considered
fortunate that Jennie Bates did not arrive
in season to see him executed, as it is be-
lieved that the sight of her would have
wrought him up to such pitch of excite
ment that he would have been absolutely
uncomfortable.
1t is agreed on every hand that his death,
though violent, was easy, as all sensibility
ceased with the severing of the spinal cord
at the instant of the fall. Smith seems to
have closed his eyes firmly at the fatal mo-
ment, as they were found tightly shut when
he was cut down. His mouth was full of
| blood, in consequence of a. severe biting of
his tongue when the rope frightened abont
his neck. The doctors knew that the neck
was broken the moment that they felt of
the pulse, which was very feeble, instead
of being violently strong, as is the case
with victims of the gallows who are simply
choked to death. So feeble was it, indeed
the involuntary action of the heart after
death, as one might almost say-that an
inexperienced finger would hardly have de-
tccted it at all. Much of the time it was a
mere intermittent fluttering. At II O'Clock
after the pulse had entirely ceased, the
