THE GovERNuK OF VERMONT.



The salary of the governors office is
comparatively small, but having accepted
the Office Governor Ormsbee ldevotes his
time to 1t with unscrimplng fidelity. He
makes its duties his first duties. He lat
tends all meetings where by constitution
or lawsthe governor is IN any way required
to be present, all tanners meetings, dairy
mems associations, normal school grad
uatiOns, teachers meetings, Grand
Army euc4mpmenys. state fairs, meet
ings of officials of the Home for
Vermont soldiers, meetings at the in
sane asylum, work nOues, reform school
and meetings of the COrpuratOrS OF the
university, and q long list of other gather
ings where his presence Is required by inn
plcation if not by express statute, because
he wants to understand and know about
whatever the State and Its citizens gener-
ally are interested in in public capacity.
Unless we are greatly mistaken he attend
ed more such meetings in the first year OF
his term than any governor has ever done
in two years (We are casting no retlec-
tiOuS upon former otlicials) In addition TO
this the governors excellent and grace
tul wife seems heartily to second hun in
all his official laborS and to be ever ready
on all occasions Gas at the recent Teachers
association in Brandon) To throw ouen
their house to all whom ii seems proper
for the chief executive of the state to ten
der a reception. We are glad to see
Vermont official do himself and the state
the credit he has by his course in these re
spects. II the people, instead OF the poll
tlclhns, had the right to name the next
candidate for governor, Mr.. Ormsbee
would undoubtedly be his own successor.

A TERRIBLE FIRE.
THE 81. ALBANS HOSPITAL COM
PLETELY GUTTED.
Two of the Patients Perish from Suffoea--
ton by Smoke-Rescue of the other
Inmates-An insufficient Alarm
Loss @15, 900, Insurance $500.

The st. Albans Hospital was burned
Sunday night, and two of the patients,
Miss Susan Gates and Mr.. Charles Chand-
Ter, were suffocated by the smoke. The
fire was discovered in closet in the
kitchen about ten minutes before eleven
by Matron James. The whistles, on
which the community depends for an
awakening in such critical moments,
were blown very briefly, so that the fire
department was some time in rallying,
while only small portion Of the people
in general had any idea there was fire.
When the liremen arrived they mis-
Judged the location OF the hydrdnts and
some time was wasted IN getting more
hose. In the existing state of things
time was precious, as there were eight pa
tientS in the house and the tre was rag
ing tiercely. Six OF the patients We're res
cued, but the two named above pershed:
Mr.. Chandler was a paralytic, ami, en-
tlrely helpless, WAS speedily overcome by
the dense smoke, and his body was sub.
| seQuently found in the bed.
All the other inmates Of the institution,
save Mr.. Chandler, started down stairs
| together, Matron James supposng that
| Miss Gates was among them but when
the bottom floor was reached Miss Gates
was missed, and in her bewildered condi-
ton she refused to res pond to instructions
| shouted to her by parties below. She was
| able to move about, and appeared at the
| window, but seemed daZed and unable to
understand ; in "A short time she fell close
hv the window, overcome by smoke.
! When finally ladder was secured 1T was
too late, and her body was found close
| by bay window on the south side.
Mr.. Chandler had been at the hospital
for little more than IS months.
Miss Gates was 50 years old, formerly
resided IN West RoNbIry Mass, and had
been for some time a sufferer of rheuma-
tsm this WAS her second year at the nos
pltai. Miss Gates'S body was removed to
the residence of n. s. Hyde, Tuesday,
where the funeral was held at 2:3O
O'Clock Mr. Chandiers body was taken
to his brothers, NJ. l.. Chandler.
The total loss is about $1,000. The ell
part is a total loss, and the interior of the
main part is badly burned. A goodly por-
ton of the household goods We're saved,
but in damaged condition. The building
was insured for $500, but this amount
, will not make good the loss in that diree-
ton.
