A Tramp Shot.
HE Is UNKNOWN.

Thursday night of last week tramp
was shot at the house of Franklin Mum
ger, in Benson, Rutland County. The
particulars as given by the Rutland
Herald are as follows:
Last night about 10 o'clock tramp
came into the house of Franklin Mum
ger who lives on the turnpike road in
the north part of the town. Mr. Mum
ger had gone to bed, his son had gone to
the barn and Mrs. Munger was up. She
supposed it was her son who entered UNI
til he spoke and said I'm hungry, have
come from Whitehall and would like
something to eat" Mr.. Munger directed
his wife to set some food ON the table
and she put on some bread and milk and
pan of cold meat He sat and ate
part of his bread and milk and then
commenced handling the meat in the
pan and moving it about with his hands
Mrs Munger then requested him to use
the knife and fork, and he toldsher he
would do as he had a mind to. Mr.
Munger then got up and dressed, and
ordered him to eat his food and be off
He said he'd 60 when he got ready, and
told Munger he had company, and would
do as he had mind to- He then went
to the door and called Jack and
Munger followed him with a double
barreled gun, cooked, and with the
breach set against his thigh. The tramp
turned around and seized the muzzle O
the gun with one hand, and, as he was
about to strike with the other fist, Nun
ger pulled the trigger, and the charge
entered the abdomen of the tramp. HI
said, You have shot me" Munger said
{" It's your own fault"
Munger sent for DIR. j. P. Newton
and he arrived before the man died
which occurred this morning at 2o'clocb
four hours after the occurrence. HI
would not give his name, said he was re
specially connected, and would rathe
die as he was, unknown. He said h
was the one to blame, and exonerateC
Munger. The town authorities hav,
ordered an inquest to be held tomorrow
at ten o'clock in the forenoon, at thu
town hall.
The tramp was light complexioned

The Centennial and an Extra SEES

AT this time OF writing the Centen
NAL State Executive Committee have
probably received responses from the
members Of the legislature, sufficient te
indicate whether they will ask Gov
Peck to call an extra session to make an
appropriation for the centennial exhibi
ton.
The press of the State generally favor
the call and the appropriation. We re
greet this, and hope that the responses o.
the members have been such that no ex.
ira session will be called.
1t is well enough that the members
of the legislature contribute for the
centennial, but they are certainly under
no more obligation to do so than any
other 270 citizens Of the State, and they
with other citizens of each town may
Just as well make their contributions at
home. If there is not patriotism and lib.
erality enough among the people, to dc
voluntarily what they ought to do, viii
it be any credit to the State to force il
out of them by statute enactment?
The appropriation we see suggested is
$4,000 to $50 600. We see no reason
for any appropriation on any such grand
scale as this, and if the legislature should
make such an appropriation we do moi
believe they would correctly represent
their constituents at home. With the
tremendous burden of debt now carried
by individuals and municipalities, it il
no time to increase that burden in tn,
form of state taxation. Let the none,
come rather from the national than tn,
state treasury.
As to the exhibition of the industrie
and manufactures of the state, is Their
any more reason that the money of tn
State should be used to put them on ex
hibition than at State or New Englan,
exhibition ?

The Ross Boy Mystery.

During the past week the boy at St.
Adams has been greater mystery than
ever. He has been both claimed and
repudiated as james Blanchard of Mil
ford, N. H., while the boy himself has
steadily claimed to be Charlie'Ross. That
he has not been positively identified as
to whether he was the Blanchard boy or
not is doubtless owing to the indifference
felt in Milford toward him whom they
supposed to be playing the fraud The
excitement at st. Adams this week over
his case has been intense. Some are so
positive he is the Ross boy that they
even charge Mr.. Ross with being indif:
ferent and not wishing to find his boy
because he has not been there to identify
him. Parties from Milford were expect
ed Wednesday, when that part of the
affair is expected to be settled. All ac
counts indicate the boy to be older thai

it is dangerous in st. Adams to say it i

A Sad story.

There is no sadder sight in New York
than that witnessed at the station houses
in the city. There are thirty station
houses Around these gather at o'clock
the houseless, homeless, destitute people
of the city. They number from one hun
bred to two hundred persons at each sta
ton. These are old and young, women
and children, tramps and respectable
people out of employment. They ask a
nights lodging, and must have it or per-
ish. One reason why tramps are so nu-
merous in the country is that thousands
are out of employ, many of whom are
ashamed to be seen begging in the city,
and the impression prevails that people
are more charitable in the country than
in New York 1t is the custom of the
restaurants, at the close of the days bus
iness, to gather up the fragments remain
ing and hand them out to the poor on
the sidewalk. Long lines of suffering,
hungry, wretched and half-clad crea-
lures stand in patient waiting by the
hour for their turn. Sometimes the line
will extend for two or three blocks. The
women are wretched looking, and nearly
every one has babe in her arms. The
basket usually gives out long before the
end of the line has been reached, and
the sorrowing and hungry ones are turn
ed empty away.
