case where one of the commercial
travellers had been elected from a

SUIT. The picture is not overdrawn
although many of these men are
gentlemen and exceptions to the

the fact that the number Of these

was no occasion to blame the overseer but as
the Superintendent, Mr.. Fairbanks desired
the fullest examination possible, it was decid-

mittee on the reform school to specially inves-
tipate the circumstances of the accident and
make a report. Until such examination by
the Legislature is made, the oyerseer,. Mr..
