Affections of ST. Cloud.

Special TO the Globe.
ST. CLOUD, April 19.-Already work has
commenced on several of the buildings de-
molished by the cyclone Wednesday night,
and the walls of several dwellings are now
standing and the roofs will be placed on
them and they will be occupied before the
week is ended. The building is being done
in a majority of the cases by the owners of
the property who escaped uninjured, as
sisted by their fellow citizens, who give
their time and labor gratis. The wreck of
the Manitoba freight house and cars is
nearly cleaned up, and the road will in a
few days begin the erection of a freight
house much larger and more substantial
than the one destroyed. A committee ap-
pointed by citizens meeting, consisting
of City Assessor Montgomery, Register of
Deeds John Zapp and f. Fl. Dane, con-
tractor, this morning finished their estimate
of the loss suffered by the people, and sub,

RECENT DEATHS.
MRS. c. S. WALKER.

Lucy Helen Guy, wife of Chauncey
S. Walker, died at her home in this
place on Monday evening. In the
death of Mrs. Walker a lovely Chris
tan soul is removed from earth. She
was a member of the North church and
a woman of rare faith and trustfulness
and patience. Being in i'll health for
many months, she was shut in from &C
tive service, but in all her sufferings
she maintained a sweet and cheerful
spirit, which greatly endeared her to a
large circle of friends, who are person
ally bereaved in her death. For these
last days it has been her Lords will to
make her perfect through great suffer-
ing, she was to the last full of hope
and trust. Her memory is precious,
and will be tenderly cherished by all
who knew her, and sympathies for
those who held her most dear, mingle
with Joy for the release which has TAX
en- her to her eternal home. "There
shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain, for the former things are
passed away"

GOV. FAIRBANKS AT ANDOVER.
The members of the Phillips acade-
my alumni had a famous time at the
Parker house in Boston last Thursday
evening. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
other eminent men were among the
speakers. Ex-GOv. Fairbanks was
there and in his address related this
incident of DR.. Taylor, former prin-
cipal of the academy 81 we'll remem-
Der the last time DIR. Taylor was at
my house in Vermont of little incl
dent which occurred illustrating his
genuine friendship for books, and, es-
pecially, his interest in classical study.
Addressing a gentleman who had done
something toward establishing a pub
lie library, DR.. Taylor said: We had
in our school last year fellow by the
name of Parker, who was fond of hav-
ing good time. He would now and
then say to some of his classmates,
Come up to my room tonight and
have some poached eggs. You bring
the eggs and | will find the salt
Now said DR.. Taylor, you, sir, have
provided the building for the library

senting him with copy of his last
published work, entitled Classical
Study.V No apology is necessary for
clipping from the published reports of

graph that contains truth of as much
value to the st. Johnsbury student as
any other: "Close, patient, unwearied,
independent, honest thinking is the
prime factor of success in every de-
partmenJ of life. Without it the sci
enlist is but charlatan, the doctor a
quack, the lawyer babbler, the min
lister nOnentity and the business man
miserable failure. With it, supple
mented with industry, energy, fair
common sense and adaptability to the
calling, success is assured in every de-
partment of life"

j. B. SOper, who so recently went
from here to California, will regret to
learn that their daughter, Stella B. So
per, died in South Pasadena, CalifOr-

all her sickness. The most heartfelt

SCHOOL MEETING.

Officers Elected and Something About
the Village and Town Schools.
The annual school meeting was held
in the town hall last evening there be-
ing fair attendance. Alexander
Dunnett was chosen moderator. These
officers were elected for the year
Clerk, p. d. BlOdgett; treasurer, w.
S. BoyntOn collector of taxes A. ID.
Pike; auditors, Dennis May, Dean
Patterson, w. L. Pearl. 1t was voted
that the prudential committee consists
of three. There were five on the board
last year and as the terms of two OF
these expired with this meeting no
further election was necessary, the
board now standing, It. C.. Fletcher.
HI. Paddock and Mrs. E. May. The
retiring members are E. Il. Sandford
and Mrs. H. c. Ide.
Under article it was voted to con-
tinue the arrangement heretofore ex-
listing with the academy for the in
struction of pupils of the high school
grade.
Under article it was voted that
the schools of the primary and inter
mediate grades be held 33 weeks the
coming year and advanced schools 80.
Article related to the finances. On
motion of Col. Fletcher it was voted
to raise 55 cents on the dollar on the
grand list.
j. A. Willard moved that walk be
made across the park devoted to the
Union school play ground and present.
ed a petition signed by number urg-
ing that certain distractions be re-
moved. This motion was tabled and
the meeting adjourned.
The reports presented contained
many items of interest. Perhaps the
one that will most interest the tax
payers is, that, besides paying all the
legitimate expenses Of the schools OF
the town, a note of $4,000, which was
not due until September next, with in =
terest amounting to $1S06.34 more,
has been paid, and that there still re-
mains in the treasury an unexpended
balance of $I61I.87. This is refresh
ing reading for the people who have
come to regard unexpended balances
as myths and as having no possible
connection with the management of
town affairs. The reports show the
following list of expenditures during
the wear:

A NARROW ESCAPE.

The passengers on the mixed train
from the North due here at $50 in the
evening, among them A. l.. Bailey of
this place, got severe shaking up and
narrowly escaped more serious injuries
last Friday evening. There were 16
senger cars in the rear. The train
broke in the middle just south of the
Lyndon Corner depot. When near
Wilder's pulp mill the front portion of
the train came to stand. AS the
rest of the cars came up the engineer
tried to start up and break the shock
but the brakes were on and before they
could be started the cars came tOgeth
Ell with such force that the truck on
one of the freight cars was derailed and
the draw bars were driven into one of
from their seats, Mr.. Bailey striking
upon the f1ange of the stove inf1icting
a severe wound just over his right eye.
One man who went to Boston was
thought to have one or two broken
ribs while others were more or less
hurt. The conductor walked back to
Lyndonville and got help, and the
train reached st. JOhnsbury at two
o'clock in the morning. This is the
second escape Mr.. Bailey has had this
winter, both of them being narrow

in the sugar house back of the scale
works yesterday forenoon. Asa Liv-

markable skill and an appreciative and
hungry company of citizens aided in
the ceremony. Some of those present
had never before witnessed the pro-
cess of sap gathering and sugar max
ing and were hardly up to the fine
points in the business but this did not
in any measure impair their appeti-
ties or interfere with their enjoym emf
in consuming the sweets. Better sugar
was never tasted and the company
voted Mr.. Livingston an unqualified
success.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.

The committee chosen at IL recent
meeting of the citizens to take action
in relation to securing the establish
ment of the Soldiers home in St.
JOhnsbury, met at DR.. G. B. Billiards
Saturday afternoon. AS evidence of
the interest that is felt in this matter it
is noted that every member of the COM
mittee was present excepting two who
were out of town. After thoroughly
discussing the subject it was decided
to call town meeting before going
any further and to ask the town to APP
prOpriate $1,000 toward the scheme.
SO far as can be ascertained by inquiry
the outlook for such grant is favor
able and action will soon be taken.
la this connection Gen. Wells of
Burlington reports that the work of
canvassing the state in the matter of
the Soldiers Home" is being pushed
as rapidly as possibly but the COM
mittee are not getting along with the
work as fast us they would like to.
Several very fiattering offers of assis-
lance have been received from towns
in different parts of the state for the
location of the CLONE" in them. ST..
Johnsbury will have to keep a sharp
lookout if she would get the home To-
Gated here.
The question as to the legality of the
towns voting an appropriation for the
home having been raised, authorities
have been consulted and have pro-
nOunced the action unquestiOnably le-
gal if the town chooses to vote the
money. A petition for a town meet
ing will be drawn up to-day and the
meeting will probably be held next
week Saturday.
