The Convention of Republican Clubs.

The convention of representatives of re-
publican clubs of Vermont which will as
semble in the Blanchard Opera-house at ten
o'clock this morning, for the formation of
State League, promises to be large, enthu-
sastic and harmonious. 1t is stated that up
to this time some seventy-tive clubs have
been organized, and that the aggregate of
their membership will soon reach ten thou
sand. The movement thus far has been
more successful than its most sanguine
friends had expected, and it goes without
saying that the organization will prove
highly effective in securing a brilliant re-
publican triumph at the polls next fall.
The order of proceedings of the conven-
ton will he about as follows: Temporary,
pointments Of committees on credentials,
resolutions and constitution and reports
from same; adoption of constitution and
brief speech-making. Nothing definite has
ernor Ormsbee had been selected for this

st. Adams Hospital Burned and
Two Lives Lost.

The most disastrous fire that st. Adams
has seen for some time occurred Sunday
night, just before midnight, when st. Albans
hospital was completely Quilted and two out
of eight patients were suifocated by smoke.
The fire was discovered in closet in the
kitchen and speedily got beyond control.
No male help was present at the hospital
and no special provision against fire.
Through some misunderstanding only a
brief alarm was given, and before the de-
partment got fairly to work the whole
interior was in flames and the smoke so
dense that it was impossible for the tiremen
to enter. One of the victims was Charles
Chandler, paraytic, who was found dead
in bed, being unable to help himself at all,
The other victim was Miss Susan Gates,
formerly of West Roxbury, Mass, and
eighty-three years old She was able to get
to the window, but before help could reach
her she perished. The hospital was given
to the town by Chauncey Warner of Cam
bridge, VT. and insured for $500, which
will cover the loss.

THE beautiful "Knabe piano" used at
the George II. Wilder concert last week
spoke volumes for itself. While the great
est enthusiasm prevailed over the wonderful
playing of Mr.. Alvah Salmon, did every one
realize how perfectly this matchless instru-
ment responded to every touch and motion
of the performer Its rich singing qualities
and tones of great power and brilliancy
were like fine orchestral music, as one
listened to the delightful young artist.
We advise all who expect to purchase a
new piano TO see and hear the Knabe "
at George w. Wilder's, who is sole
agent. Musician.
IF you were to ask Abel Byam of Bethel,
