Arlington.

The Rutland Herald says A suit is
now pending in the Chicago courts in
which many Vermont people are much
interested especially residents of Airing
ton, which town has suffered severe loss
by the litigation, as great industry, en-
ploying many men, has been embar-
raised by it, The largest machine shop in
Vermont for the manufacture of heavv
machinery, is in Arlington, owned by
Geo. w MiltimOre, aud valued at 300, 900.
In 1884, Mr.. Miltimore was creditor
of lawyer Charles F. Ferry of Chicago,
to the extent of from ST., 900 to 800, 900.
Ferry sued Miltimore for the amount
claimed to be due on a bill of steel tires,
although it is stated that under the con-
tract existing between them the amount
was not yet due. Mr.. Miltimore
brought suit against Ferry for about $50
600 damages for an alleged fraudulent
sale of steel tires, and the cross suits are
now pending in Chicago, where it is
stated that the evidence already brought
out shows that Ferry's suit was instltut.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Representative Burrows of Michigan,
one of the Western candidates for the
speakership, says Our majority is
very small, and there is undoubtedly
great danger of getting checked at the
start. We have about three majority.
The elections in the new states will
probably increase this to six or seven.
In order to do anything, every man will
have to be in his seat. On the most
trying occasions it is seldom in the his
tory of Congress that many more than
that number have not been absent. In
order to have quorum there will have
to be binding agreement entered into,
every man pledging himself to be in his
seat at IL o'clock, and not to leave the
hall of the House until there is recess
or adjournment. But even with this
agreement, there is the matter of sick
ness, which may keep members away,
and cannot be helped. If the Democrats
are disposed TO fight over the adoption
of new rules and the settlement Of the
contested election cases, and they de-
termine to filibuster, there is block at
once. think there is great danger in
it. The question is now, would not the
presiding officer, under the circumstan-
ces, the House not yet being formed. be
justified in announcing, after the fillbus-
ter had gone far enough to be pro-
nounced, that he would not recognize
any one to make dilatory motion even
in the form of a motion to adjourn.
Might he not hold that the House could
not be held in a half-Organized state,
and that it must become a body Organ
lied and capable of doing buslnes be-
fore even an adjournment should be in
order. This done firmly and fairly,
after good reason, it seems to me might
he warrantable without breach ofpar-
liamentary law. Otherwise the govern
ment might be dismantled and brought
to chaos. There must be new rules or
we shall be tied hand and foot"

Mrs. Thomas A. HutchIns.

1t was not until yesterday that the
public became aware of the critical con-
dition of Mrs Eliza Blackmer Hutchins,
although her illness had been known for
sometime. The difficulty was an OBJ
struction of the bowel. When it was
told that her life would not last more
than few days at the most and proba-
bly, but few hours the expressions of
sympathy and regret on the lips of all
showed in how much estimation this
good woman and Christian mother was
held by the community where her useful
life had been passed.
To day she passed to the sweet rest Of
"PaI adlse the Blest" of whose gloTies
and enjoyments her voice had so often
sung IN the public worship of the
church.
Mrs. Hutchins was one whose whole
life has been study of how she could
best promote the happiness of others,
not only in her own family circle but in
the wider range Of the church and vii
lage. Very few families are there of her
acquaintance, but have at some time
been the recipients of her tender sympa-
thy when death or distress have entered
their dwellings. Not only will her Im.
mediate family and relatives miss her
gentle presence, but S.. Peters Church
will mourn the loss OF one who contrib
uted greatly to its success in the sOcie-
ty as well as IN the choir Of which she
has been an active member for more
than quarter of a century.
Mrs. Hutchins was born in this town
Jan Gath, 1884. and was named after an
aunt, Mrs. EIzl Backmer who is now
living and in her uinetieth year. Her
parents were Buckley and Lucretia
Squires, remembered by many of our
people.
The connection Of Buckley Squires
" it'll the formation nf the parish and the
building of St. Peters Church in this
village is a matter of history. 1t is not
strange therefore, that his daughter
Eliza should become early identified

Summons to appear before the Grand
Jury, sitting at Manchester, fell fast and
thick in town last week. North and
East parts Of SALISBURY were especially
favored, while the South borough was
not forgotten. The general opinion is
that the States Attorney means to sup
press the illegal sale of intoxicsnts in
the town. In the Northern district vio-
lation Of the law has been fragrant, and
every law-abiding citizen will be glad to
have the traffic broken up.
Some gTaceless scamp recently entered

Continue the Contributions.

Mr.. Editor While all are thinking
OF the Johnstown disaster and many are
asking themselves how they may fur
ther contribute TO the relief OF the
stricken, a suggestion may be useful.
Two things seem TO be evident, first,
the needs Of the sufferers are far from
being supplied, second, all who desire to
contribute have not opportunity, while
the immediate absolute distress is being
alleviated, the call on a generous people
should not cease until Johnstown is re-
built. 10 what better cause can the
charities Of our millions be directed lust
now then the restoration and equipment
Of a city whose deepest sorrows are
humanity speaking, beyond relief
Now, that all of the people OF Ben
nington township who wish to give
may have opportunity, would it not be
well for the committee under appoint
ment to provide open subscriptions or
various places easily accessible for at
least one month? The public could be
appraised Of the fact through press and
pulpit and nothing further by way OF
pressure would seem necessary to swell
the donations of our people far above
its present amount.

CHILDREN,S Day.
SECOND CONGREGATIONAL

At the Second Congregational Church
Children's Day was duly observed. A
large audience was promptly in attend
ance, the pews in front of the pulpit be-
Ing reserved for the school. At 1890
the members of the various departments
marched in from the chapel to the festi-
val strains of the organ
Special pains had been taken by skill
full hands in decorating the choir and
pulpit Thousands of white daisies,
gathered by the little people on Satur-
day, were banked along the edge of the
rostrum and reredos giving the effect
of floral fritze At the corners of the
former arose fern-palms, while on the
center, in front of the pulpit, a large
cluster of buttercups added their pecu
liar grace.
A decorative feature which perhaps
attracted most attention as the object
lesson of the discourse, was little ship,
ten feet in length, slOoped-rigged, the
sails ornamented with daisies and the
hull covered with cinnamon roses. On
the main sail was the word Faith" the
jlb bearing the figure of an anchor.
The service consisted of singing by
the choir and school, the baptism Of in
fants, the presentation of Bibles to child
rem OF seven years who have been bap-
tized, and discourse to children, the
two closely-linked thoughts running
through all being the Covenant Keeping
God, and Christ the Captain of our Sal
walton.
1t is with justice to say that Mrs.
KeesemaD's organ renderings were most
appropriate, the singing of the choir ex-
cellent, and that of the schools, under
the direction of Mr.. Harrison [. Norton,
both sweet and inspiring. The day has
attached itself to the memories of all
present and good fruit of the observance
has already appeared.
METHODIST CHURCH.
The church was very appropriately
and tastefully decorated. In the morn.
ing the pastor, Rev. w. j. Chapman,
preached an earnest and practical SER
mon on the Importance of the work of
the Sabbath school.
The evening service was carried on
almost entirely by the chill rem. The
elaborate and excellent programme con.
sisted of singing and recitations, both
OF which were unusually well rendered
and REFLECTED great credit upon the child.
rem as well as upon those who had the
matter in charge. Large congregations
were in attendance on both services
especially, however, in the evening when
the church was crowded to its utmost
