AT the meeting of the g. A. R.
Saturday evening it was voted to hold
a camp fire at an early date for the dis
cussiOn of the question Did you have
experiences during your army life that
led you to believe that an over-Iuling
Power was controlling the events of
the war. This ought to bring out
some interesting experiences.

Vote Cast in st. Johnsbnry.

The election in ST. Johnshury passed
off so quietly that the impression pre-
vailed during the day that very
light vote was being cast. But when
the boxes were turned it was found
that I07l votes had been cast, within
IL votes of the number cast at the state
election in September and within So
of the vote of 1884. There was an un-
expectedly large vote also in the other
towns in the county, as is shown by
the record given elsewhere.

RECENT DEATHS.

PRIDE.-Abner E. Pride, we'll known
rs one of st. Johnsbury's worthy citi-
zens, died at his home on Western
Avenue Sunday evening, aged 43. For
81 years he has been employed by the
Fairbanks company on their farms in
this place. During the past winter he
contracted severe cold followed by
hemorrhages from the lungs. He at
tended to his business as usual, how
ever, until about the middle of June
when he was obliged to give up work
altogether. Since then he has been
more or less of an invalid, and his
death on Sunday was not unexpected.
Mr.. Pride was q native of Royalton,
coming to st. JOhnsbury 81 years ago.
Though quiet and unassuming man,
he was held in high esteem by large
circle of friends and acquaintances in
this community. For ten years or
more he has been consistent member
of the South Congregational church !;
he was also a prominent member of
the Masonic order. In 1875 he married
Anna Frye of this place, who survives
him, as well as two children, daugh-
ters, one aged about four and the other
six. A little over a year ago he took
out life insurance policy for $1,000 ;
besides this he had accumulated some
property by his industry. Mr.. Pride
was a good representative of native
New Englanders, and this community
suffers a real loss in his death.
KILBoURNE.-Dr. E. III. Kilbourne OF
Aurora, Illinois, died at Elgin last
week on Wednesday, at the age of Ga
years. DR.. Kilbourne was a resident
of st. Johnsbury more than 30 years
ago where he practiced dentistry alone
and also in company with his brother,
|. d. KiIbourne. About 80 years ago
or a little more he removed West
After spending short time in Kansas,
he returned to Aurora, where he ever
after made his home, and where he ac-
cumulated Il competence for his family
Last spring he had trouble come upon
him which warned him that his life
might be near its end, but through the
summer and fall he had steadily i'm
proved in health and at the time of his
death was Oh a visit to his brother
DR.. E. A. Kilbourne, superintendent o.
the insane asylum at Elgin. The de-
ceased was man of many noble i'm
pulses, a hearty and cordial friend an(
worthy citizen. OF his fathers family
who formerly lived at Montpelier, DIR
E. A. Kilbourne of Elgin only remains
OF his own family he leaves a widow
and four sons, and one daughter, the
wife of DR.. Charles ID. Newell of this
place.

Post Office Affairs.

Election news has engrOssed the at
tention of every body in this communi-
ty the past week to the exclusion of
the post Office and it's proposed remov-
al. Mr.. Howe said last week the re-
porter would know all about the re-
moval OH Tuesday, but Tuesday came
and passed along and still we have no
positive evidence in the matter, or any
particular news bearing on the remOv-
al question to report. Postmaster
Bowman still distributes the mail at
the old stand on Main street. Four
fifths of this community are still ac-
cOmmodated by the present location,
who would be greatly incOnvenienced
by the proposed removal. Nobody
doubts this, not even the friends of the
Railroad street movement. There is
reason for believing that a hearing
will be granted in this case before any
thing further is done.

Conference of Christian Workers.

The annual meeting of the Christian
workers of New England will be held
this year in st. JOhnsbury, beginning
Thursday evening, Dec. 13, and con-
timing over the Sabbath. This is a
similar meeting to one held here some
five years ago, and it draws together
many of the most active and noted lay
men of the Christian church. 1t is not
what is known as ''gospel meeting"
but is a conference where these men
consult and talk over the methods of
Christian work. These meetings are
of great interest and value TO the
churches of the town where they are
held, and we bespeak for these men a
cordial welcome and glad hearing by
all who have an interest in the evan
gelization of the world. Some names
and faces familiar to st. Johnsbury au-
diences are expected to be present,
such as Messrs III. NJ. Moore of Boston,
Sayford, Folger, Ober, Dillingham; of
Hartford, and it is hoped Russell Stur-
CESS, Jr., also.

THE NEWS IN ST. JoHNsBURy.
How 1t was Distributed and Received

How 1t was Distributed and Received.
The Caledonian was on hand as usual
in giving the people prompt reports of
the election returns. The first dis
patch to st. Johnsbury direct from the
seat of war was a special to the Gale
donian. Extras were issued at p. M,
at $50 p. M, and at 1 | o'clock and the
press could hardly run fast enough to
supply the demand. 1t rained hard at
times through the evening but large
crowd stood patiently in front of the
CaledOnian bulletin boards reading the
dispatches and awaiting fresh news.
The Office was kept open and extras
issued until nearly midnight.
The news came in as is usual in such
cases. The early dispatches were
more or less contradictory and uncer-
tain. At midnight there was hardly
enough to form correct impression as
regards the result, but at 2 O'clock pos
tive evidence was furnished in the
later dispatches that the Empire
state had gone for Harrison and Nor
ton, and the early morning dispatches
confirmed the report in announcing
that the New York and Boston demo-
cratic papers conceded that state for
Harrison and his election.
Yesterday extras were issued through
the day giving what news could be OBJ
tanned, the first one coming out shortly
after o'clock in the morning, others
being put out as fresh Intelligence ar
rived. The crowds that gathered from
time to time during the day in front of
the office gave evidence that the peO-
pie knew where to find the news and
came directly to headquarters for it.
The greater portion of the CaledOnian
dispatches were specials to this Office
direct from the Associated Press office
i'm Boston, excellent service being rem
dered both in the arrangement of the
dispatches and in their prompt delivery
by the local telegraph service. The
news will continue to be bulletined al
this office us it comes in until all doubt
is at rest concerning the result.

Railroad Commissioners Findings.

In the matter of the fatal accident
to Eugene G. COwen, on the Lake road,
at North Concord, October Is, the board
finds that he caught his foot in q track
frog and before he could extricate him
self was run over, sustaining injuries
from which he died in a few hours.
The board "call the attention of rail
road managers to the appliances in use
which would make this class of acci-
dents much less or quite impossible,
and every possible regulation should
be made and means provided for the
safety of employees" We have al
ready called attention to the Massa-
chusetts law requiring that all frogs be
blocked with wood This is the ap-
pliance, presumably, to which the COM
missiOners refer.
The railroad commissioners report
on the death of Judson j. Rashaw at
Walden, August 9, while in the en-
ploy of Caldwell 81 Varnum, that he
told the fireman of the train that ran
over him while he was asleep on the
track, that he had no one to blame but
himself, and so the board of commits
sioners found.

Some County Supts'. Opinions.

Some County Supts'. Opinions.
The Vermont school report shows
that Caledonia county teachers and su-
perintendents are generally friends of
the town system, and that all of them
are friends of higher education. Il. w.
Darling of Danville would have great
er care exercised in the selection of
teachers. He writes: "Give me law
whereby every person desiring to teach
must attend training school for at
least one term, a school especially de-
signed to fit teachers for practical
work" A. P. Tracy of Sutton says
"Push the town system through the
legislature. 1t is the only hope for the
future of our schools, think" E. Il.
Sandford of st. Johnsbury says: "The
legislature must give US the town sys-
tem." Chas. Ross of Waterford says
"The action of our town, in voting
back from the town to the village sys-
TEN, is source of deep regret to our
earnest thinking men," c. HI. Garland
of Sheffield says: "The opposition to
the town system seems to be almost
wholly in those portions of the town
having a large grand list, as it would
increase their school taxes to have
them equalized."
