"A good many readers will be sad
dened on learning of the death of Mrs.
Adam Darling, which took place at
Kansas City yesterday, after long and
painful illness. AS Mrs. G.. HI. Clark
she will be kindly and pleasantly re-
membered by many of the old resi-
dents of st. Johnsbury, this town be-
ing her home for a number of years
from 1857 till into the sixties.

The village trustees have a meet
ing Saturday evening when some of
| the questions relating to electric lights,
ETC., that have been hanging fire lit
tie will come up for consideration.
| Among other things the trustees pur-
pose this year to do what they can to
prevent the boys beginning their 4th
of July demonstrations before sunrise.
The sun rises early now and nobody
will complain if the boys hold off with
their racket until that hour. .......

'Rah for Harrison.
The local republican clubs met Mon
day evening rather more to make prep
aratiOn for a general rally than to at
tempt much of a demonstration, as the
nomination for the second place on the
ticket had not been announced. There
were brief speeches, however, c. NJ.
| Spencer presiding and DR.. G. F. Che
ney acting as secretary pro TEN. Alex
Dunnett pronounced himself perfectly
satisfied with the nomination, though
an admirer of Blaine for whom he
would have been glad to vote. E. L.
HOvey was we'll satisfied with the
nomination though Blaine was the one
whom he expected to see nominated
and had been betting on. Marshall
Montgomery was thoroughly satisfied,
while Harry BlOdgett, who was a
|
confident that the ticket would be
elected. J. G.. Hovey could not have
been better pleased and hoped for a
10000 majority vote. Gen. H. K. Ide
and David Trull were of the same
mind, and DR.. G. B. Bullard declared
that of all names mentioned Gen. Har-
risOn was his first choice. Mr.. Chal-
mers heartily endorsed both nomina-
tion and platform w. S. Boynton
hoped to see the present administra-
tion buried out of sight by the republi-
cans in November; Mr.. Taylor Of
Hardwick was cordially for the new
ticket and Mr.. Cushman urged the i'm
pOrtance of party over any one man in
the party. w. S. Boynton and George
Ranney were elected members of the
executive committee to fill vacancies in
the club.
The st. Johnsbury Burglar.
1t seems that the burglar who enter
, ed Arthur Wilder's house at O'Clock
last Thursday morning and took a
watch and dress, also visited Henry
G.. Ely's house on Summer street a
about the same time and carried of
3 his coat and vest. The fellow effected
. an entrance through the front window
3 on the first floor and made no disturb
ance, the robbery not being known un
til Mr.. Ely missed his coat and vest il
. the morning. In the pockets were let
: ters and checks and a mileage ticket
On Monday afternoon the coat anC
r vest were found intact in an arbor il
! front of Foster Stevens house on Sum
f mer street. Nothing had been dis
turbed and the pockets had evidentl.
not been searched as nothing was miss
- ing. Probably Mr.. Ely's house wa
first visited and the things left for
later searching, the fellow meanwhil
having been frightened away.
