in Il bill from J. p. Duncan, overseer of

Mr.. Editor, do you see anything fair
about this? What is the use of keep

then paying out over tbs county at the
rate of $4,000 or 100000 per year for
the maintenance of paupers? We, as

Obituary..

A telegram Tuesday night annOunc-
ed the death at Crete, Nebraska, of Mr..
David Chapman, of East st. Johnsbu-
ry, of paralysis of the heart, and that
his body was to be sent East the next
day. On the 18th of May, Mr.. Chap
man left his home to visit his daugh-
ter, the wife of Mr.. Geo. ID. Stevens, at
Crete, Nebraska. He went out with
the Harvey excursion party, and arriv-
ed at his daughters about week be-
fore the announcement of his death.
He was in his usual health, and it is
supposed his death was sudden, al
though the telegram did not indicate
i'll that matter. Mr.. Chapman had long
been a resident of East St. Johnsbury
we should say 40 years or more, and
village postmaster position he oc-
cupied up to Il year or two ago. He
was man of business integrity, and
was esteemed by his tOwnsmen and all
who knew him. His age was about
20 years, and he leaves a wife and three
children-Wm. A. Chapman and Mrs.
Chandler Severance of East st. Johns
bury, and Mrs. Stevens, ut whose home
he died.
Mrs. Bullard, widow of the late
Jonathan Billiard, died ut Albany, Vt,

health for some years, but fall early
in the week fractured her hip and has
tened her.death. She was the mother
of DR.. C. Il. Billiard of this Mace.

by placing the bonds at 4 per cent. in.
stead of Eat not to exceed AZ per cent,
but this was objected to and the
amendment lost. 1t was demonstrated
however, that 4 per cent. bonds sold
even at per cent. discount would eff

government is negotiating bonds sue
cessfully at 81 per cent, it would be
well enough to place our village bonds
at 4 per cent.
The next thing in order was to see
if the village would allow C. II. Bagley
to use the village water for the purpose
of removing dirt across Railroad street
into the gulf opposite the ''Hill" place
and resolution in favor of it was
offered. Over this question there was
some sharp sparring and contradic-
tons. Mr.. Bagley presented his side
of the case. Last year he had asked
the trustees for permission to use the
water for this purpose two of them
told him there would he no trouble
about it; Mcleod, circuit and McCor-
mick had consented on the ground that
he had bought the dirt for a higher
price than the village offered for it
present board of trustees objected to
his using the water. Mr.. Mccormick
replied to this. He had never been in
vited into any Caucus" on the subject,
and had never said Bagley could have
the water; didn't remember setting
any price on it except incidentally at a
subsequent trustee meeting; didn't
consider that he had any right to give
away village property in that manner.
Mr.. Mcleod said Bagley had spoken to
him about it, and that Mccormick had
made no objection to the use of the
water till after it was shut off on ac-
count of being low; the trustees had
never held any meeting to consider
Bagley's request.
II. c. Idle, Esq, thought the trustees
had no right to allow the water used ;
he saw no equity in the transaction
the increased value would inure to
Bagley's benefit, and he saw no reason
why the water should be allowed him
free of charge; if it was fair to accom-
mOdate Bagley, then it was fair to
grant such water privilege to any
one who wanted it. Such an opera
ton is detrimental to the machinery,
and the village can't afford to allow it.
The present trustees didn't think it
was best to grant the privilege, and we
ought to sustain them. Judge Poland
spoke in favor of Bagley's having the
water; thought the village ought to
deal fairly with him since he had be
gun the work and wanted to finish it.
Following this there was considerable
talk about the condition of the ma
chinery and the effect which this use of
the water would have upon it. Various
mechanics were called upon to give
their opinions, and some thought the
effect would he injurious, and Others
thought it would not. Superintendent
Gale said that the velocity of the
pumps was much increased last year
durinD R11leViS use nf thn w.tar and
it was held that the increased velocity
was detrimental.
The privilege was denied Mr.. Bagley
by the close vote of 80 to So; and after
Il session of over two hours the meet
inp adjourned.
