Sandy Point, the CHILEAN Penal StatiOn-Its
Location, Surroundings and Resources.
Sandy Point is a CHILEAN penal sta
ton, and a large portion of the inhabit-
ants are exiles. When we were there
the war was still going on between
Chill and Peru, and among the prison
ers were two Americans, who had been
captured in an attempt to blow up the
Huascar with tOrpedoes. They came
very near being executed, but were
finally exiled. The Governor himself
W2s in a state of semi-eXile, and found
life much more agreeable in Sandy
Point than he would have done in Val
paraiso. Gold was discovered several
years ago in the mountains about two
miles from the village, and quantity
taken out by panning, but at that time
there was no excitement about it. |
saw considerable in the form of grains
and small nuggets, the largest of which
was about the size of an English walnut,
and had been made into watch charm.
1t was thought that some of the mind,
would prove to be very productive, if
properly worked, but no one there
seemed to have the money or energy to
develop them. There is also a vein of
good coal about three miles from the
village. 1t had been worked some
few years previously, and a railroad
had been built from the mine to the
wharf but after war broke out with
Peru it was neglected, the wharf went
to ruin and the railroad was DESTROYED.
The only coal to be had there was
brought from England and a good price
was charged for it. We coaled ship
and were obliged to pay nineteen dol
lars and fifty cents per ton and deliver
it ourselves. The timber on the noun
tains does not grow to great height,
but is of fine quality, and the trunks are
of large diameter.
During the summer months it does
not rain at all, but every winter large
quantity of snow and rain falls, so that
there are no dry years. The plains
furnish excellent grazing, and the soil
will yield good crops. There is every
reason to believe that it will become
good grain-producing country. / had
read much about the great size of the
Patagonian Indians, and thought the
reports must be greatly exaggerated,
but found that they were true. None
of the bucks that / saw were under six
feet in height, and they were broad in
proportion to their height. The
squaws are about five feet six or seven
inches, and are heavy, but not fleshy.
Like all other Indians, they are very
fond of the white mans water

Lyndon Center

The sugar party at |. H. Halls last
Saturday, was the event of the season.
The ceremonies of the occasion took
place i'm the spacious grounds connect
ed with Mr.. Halls residence. About
200 persons were present, including
the Lyndonville silver cornet band,
with their new instruments, who add
ed not little to the pleasure of the
occasion. Seats had been prepared for
all and nothing was lacking that could
add to the comfort and entertainment
of Mr.. Halls guests. When the physi-
cal condition of the party became such
that the sugar ceased to be attractive,
the party was called to order by DR..
Hubert and H. E. Folsom was elected
chairman A committee on resolutions
was appointed. We hoped to be able
to give the resolutions in full, but have
failed to get them, but it is sufficient
to say that they were appropriate to
the occasion and were fittingly re-
spOnded to by Mr.. Hall, who has in his
"make-up" plenty of the material of
which orators are made and only needs
occasions of this kind to bring out his
latent powers. Mr.. Hall has the thanks
of all for their pleasant entertainment.

METHODIST CHURCH ITEMS.

Rev. Mr.. Culver closes a successful
three years pastOrate of the Methodist
church in this village next Sunday.
His sermon last Sunday morning was
from Acts 20 81, and was a review of
the work and purpose of the church
during the past three years. First,
they had aimed to build up thorough
ly evangelical church, and secondly, a
distinctively Methodist church, denOm
national but not sectariau. 1t had,
thirdly, been a church of exceptional
methods, those peculiar to MethOdism !;
fourthly, it had specially aimed to Sc
cure conversions filthy, it had en-
deavored to keep abreast of the times,
and lastly, it had sought to be cheer
full and united church. The pastor re-
ferred complimentary to the work of
the building committee and of the la
dies of the society, in connection with
the rebuilding of the church.
Next Sunday morning Mr.. Culver
will administer baptism to a number
of candidates, and will preach the clos
ing sermon of his passionate, though he
does not propose to preach a formal
farewell" discourse. In the evening,
at $50 o'clock, Presiding Elder Gran
ger will preach and the communion will
be administered. The elder will preach
at st. Johnsbury Centre in the morn
ing, and at the East village in the af-
ternOOn.
Next Monday evening, at Z 80 o'clock,
the fourth quarterly conference of the
church will be held, and officers elect
ed for the coming year. No service:
will be held on conference Sunday

Stone-Cutters on Trial.
For Intimidating Fellow-Workmen

Seventeen South Ryegate granite
cutters were brought here last Thurs
day on a warrant issued by Justice n.
NJ. Johnson, charging that they, as
members of the Granite Cutters Ma
tiOnal Union, were guilty of intimidat-
ing nOn-uniOn wOrkmen. The men
pleaded not guilty and were admitted
to bail in $500 each. John Hendricks,
however, was found not to be a mem
Der of the union, and the case against
him was dropped. The hearing began
Friday and has been held at the court
house. A separate complaint was is
sued Friday against two of the men,
John McGeOugh and 0. f. Clay, and
they were tried first. The complaint
charged them with conspiracy against
the business of the Ryegate granite
company, and with intimidating non
union men, who had been told that in
case they worked for the granite com
pany, they would be published in the
Granite Cutters Journal as "scabs," a
reproachful epithet, familiar among
stone-cutters. This would disgrace
them and hinder them from getting
work elsewhere. Bates & May APP
peared for the men, and States Attor
ney Montgomery for the government,
assisted by II. G.. Ide and A. Dunnett.
The hearing continued till Tuesday af-
ternoon, when Justice Johnson decid-
ed that no intimidation had been
proved, and discharged these men.
The prosecution then nOIle pressed
the complaint still hanging over the
remaining IA men, but at once rear
rested them under a new and but
slightly different complaint issued by
Judge Walter p. Smith, before whom
their hearing began Tuesday after
noon. The IA men on trial are Charles
C.. Stuart, j. d. Grant, Henry A. West,
o. w. Lewis, p. w. Hendricks, Julius
Ingraham, Peter B. Frazier, VIM. d.
Darling, Alex NJ. Holmes, Dennis Cla-

The Ryegate Granite company, which
was recognized early this month with
r. F. Carter as president, objected to
the formation of a local ''union" among
their men. On April 9, that company
and the Blue Mt. granite company dis
charged all their men, numbering about
% and 10 respectively. The first nam
ed company subsequently, restored
those whom they were satisfied were
non union men, about ten in number
but after only one day these refused Il

George May, ESQ.,, for the past TWEEN
ty years cashier of the First National
bank of st. JOhnsbury, has signified to
the board of directors his intention to
resign his position before very long,
and the event is likely to occur before
the first of July, being in accordance
with purpose held for some time by
Mr.. May. Mr.. Mays life in st. Johns
bury dates from the establishment of
the bank of which he has always been
cashier, and during all these years he
has been prominent in the business,
social and church life in our town. The
removal of this family will be a regret
to this people and a loss to our town.
Mr.. May has been elected treasurer of
the Reece Button Hole Machine COM
pany of Boston, of which he is also one
of the directors and he will undOubt-
eddy make his new home in that city
before many months.
1t is rumOred that George l.. Brad
ley has agreed to sell his interest in
the st. Johnsbury bakery to Oscar NJ.
Waterman,-fo several years with E.
B. Merriam of this place, but no trade
has yet been completed. This action
on the part of Mr.. Bradley may be the
first step toward his leaving town, as
he has felt for some time that the
health of Mrs. Bradley demanded
change of climate. Our people will
greatly regret any such event, and will
more deeply regret the apparent neces-
sity of it. We can but hope that some
way will open by which family every
way so desirable may still remain in
our place.

Sugar makers have been very busy
for the past week and have made a
large quantity of sugar, for the time,
and of the best quality, but the warm
days will soon bring sugaring to a
close, unless there is change in the
weather.
Hay has not been so scarce for many
years as this spring, and had it not
been for large amount of old hay, it
would have been impossible to have
kept stock through. Many farmers
have nothing but straw and meal for
their stock, but it will not be long with
favorable weather before pastures will
be green.

as make the directory much more val

quite important that all dwellings
should be numbered, as the next check

where each voter lives or else the

canvassers for the directory can furnish
numbers if desired.
