Methodist Ministerial Meetings.

The meetings of the st. Jehnsbury
district ministerial association were
begun in the Methodist church Tues
day evening. The stormy weather
prevented large attendance and ne
cessitated some changes in the pro-
gram. Rev. l. P. Chase preached Tues
day evening very effective sermon.
At the organization of the meeting
Wednesday morning Rev. l. P. Chase
was chosen clerk. The discussion in
the morning was omitted and the pa
per on "HistOry of MethOdism in the
st. JOhnsbury district" was also omit
ted on account of the death of Rev. III.
Il. Jones. The time was taken up
with the consideration of resolutions
on his death and in giving expression
to the feelings of his brothers in the
conference. Rev. c. p. Taplin follow
ed with very able and touching SER
mon on Recognition in Heaven"
Wednesday afternoon there was an
extended discussion of the question,
''Ought the Christian Messenger to be
adopted by the conference as a con-
ference paper 7" The roll was called
and nearly every member present en-
tered into the discussion. The preva-
let opinion seemed to be that if all
danger of the ''patent insides" could
be avoided and if the conference could
be assured that the paper would be
kept clean and made representative,
that they would give it moral support.
Rev. L. l.. Beeman followed with a
very thoughtful review of Warren Is

the entire society has done in the past.

RECENT DEATHS.
JUDGE ASA l.. FRENCH.

Judge French, for many years Il
prominent citizen of st. JOhnsbury,
died at his residence, on Cherry street,
Sunday morning at $50 o'clock. Asa
l.. French was born in Craftsbury,
Oct. 4, 1904, and was 81 years old at
the time of his death. He moved to
st. JOhnsbury when a young man
and was for some years in the employ
of E. & II. Fairbanks. Later on he
engaged in the wheelwright business
OH his own account. In 1928 he mar
ried Laura Wright, who died seven
years ago. During all the many years
of his life in st. Johnsbury Judge
French has been closely identified with
it's interests and its growth. For years
he was a trial justice and his never
failing interest in town affairs brought
him into close relations with many
people not only in this town but in
the county and in this section of the
state. In 1854 he was elected to the
state senate and in 1855 was reelected
to the same position. He was an able
legislator and it was largely through
his instrumentality that the county
buildings were located ia st. Johns
bury. Judge French was one of the
presidential electors at the time of
Grants second election. A particular
ly close contest between himself and
an opponent for the state legislature
only finally settled by the withdrawal
of Judge French will be recalled by
many of the older residents. In 1855
he served as register under Judge
Dana and the year following was chOs-
ell probate judge, an Office he held
continuously until between three and
four years ago when he retired from
active business.
Judge French had not been in good
health for a year past and went to
New York in December, intending to
spend the winter with a nephew, in
the hope that the change would be
beneficial. Feeling that he was not
improving he returned here Feb. 2,
has steadily failed since, took to his
bed on Thursday and died OH Sunday.
He passed away peacefully, conscious
to the last. He leaves a sob, Henry
French, and a daughter, Mrs. Helen
Carpenter, both residents of st. Johns
bury.

A Narrow Escape.

st. JOhnsbury seems to figure in
pretty much all the notable occurrences
of this year. At the terrible accident
on the B. & L. road at Wilmington,
last Friday evening, C. G.. Spencer,
the express agent on the train, who at
one time lived here, narrowly escaped
being roasted to death. He said: s1
was sitting in my section of the bag
gage car checking off the bundles had
taken. When the crash came my light
was extinguished and 1 found myself
covered with bundles. 1 waited few
minutes to see if any one would come
to dig me out. My arms were piniOn-
ed by the weight above me and it was
with great difficulty that l freed my
self. At last | succeeded in climbing
out of the wreck. 1t was high time
left for the fire that caught from the
overturned stove was beginning to
work its way into my room. l emp
tied a butter cask and carried snow
and water over the top of the car until
| had stopped the fire. l wasn't very
badly hurt. My face is cut, but you
can see that they are only scratches"
Mr.. Spencer is son of the late Rev.
Mr.. Spencer of this town, and formerly
drove the express team for A. M. Cook
when he was express agent here.
