VAUDEVILLE On Wednesday last .Spald
ing Spooner, of our village. had his right
foot amputated so as to remove all the me-
tataTsal bones. His ieet have been diseased
since the winter of 1887. when they were
badly frozen. All the toes on both feet
have been of for over two years and the dis
ease being in the bones was continually
growing worse. The heel and ankle joint
are left and if the wound heals up the other
foot will be amputated before many days.
The operation was performed by DR.. X. l..
Flagg, of Cambridge Centre. assisted by
DR.. Fosburgh, of West Rutland.

postmaster. came from Eden, bringing with

First DI,trIct Democrats

DIsGRAcEFUL ROW AT THEIR CONVENTION.
The Democrats of the First Congressional
District met at the town hall in Rutland,
Tuesday. and nominated for Member of
Congress Jean Jacques Rousseau Randall,
of Rutland. But the principal interest of
the occasion grew ont of knock down-and-
drag-Out engagement between Hiram At
kins and A. p. Childs. The contest began
on the election of chairman 1--WE quote
the Hrahs repOrt) Atkins wanted the
big Injan from Northfelt George Fisk
for chairman. but Childs had a man of
his own, NJ. &. Iluling. of Bennington,
and had taken the precaution to bring up
fifteen delegates from that county. who.
with the Rutland delegates that are not
controlled by Atkins & Co., gave him
an easy working majority. Atkins had
only four delegates from Washington
county. There were none from Addison.
and Atkins, therefore. was to all intents
and purposes at the disadvantage of the
cock without the support Of his own manure
heap. The caterwauling which began over
the election OF chairman continued until tho
convention broke up in row, with Chlds
calling Atkins a scamp. and Atkins and
Others calling Child- liar. and a burly
freshman stopping into the arena and say
ing thar no man should lick Childs in that
hall and to can the climax. Atkins mount
ed a chair and appealed to the reporters
to be az inddlgent as possible in pub
fishing their disgrace to the world
The contention grew out OF the general
disgust with Atkins and his rule over the
party. The party, Chilis said, has been
run as a close corporation, and 40 scandal
ously managed that no decent, self-respect-
ing man could have anything to do with it.
As before stated, Childs carried every point
lie got resolution passed censuring the
State committee for always calling the
State conventions At Montpelier. and de
handing that the next convention be called
at Rutland and also a resolution that the
several districts shall hereafter elect the
district delegates to national conventions

RICHMOND. - The hay crop is some
what larger than last year, and has beer
secured in excellent condition. Corn is
looking well. 1t has been very bad weather
for harvesting for the last ten days. Oats
are very good. indeed. Some varieties OF
wheat have done we'll. but the club wheat
has been failure. The lower leaves began
to rust before it headed out, and when har-
vested handles more like threshed straw
than wheat. The cold weather injured the
apple crop. so it will be very light Pota-
toes are looking very well. What with the
frost and beetles, however, there will be q
very small crop.
Monday is our market day. and busy
day it is for the merchant and mechanic.
Over hundred teams have been counted on
one road leading to the village, on Mondays.
Last Monday, the boys were distributing
Coup's handbills in every direction, leaving
them in every wagon, SO that all should be
informed while a well-known veteran pol
itician was distributing Bradley Barlow's
old letters on finance.
