A sudden Death.

A short time ago man called BILLY
MahOney came to town. He had worked
seven years for Riley, a liveryman in
Hoosick Falls, n. Y, and one night was
mixed up in an alteration with some
Italians whom he said were stealing his
employers oats. At any rate the Ital.
ians were in the stable and a fight oc.
CURED in which the tresspassers got the
worst of it. Mahoney "lit OUT until the
affair should blow over, and came To
Bennington. He had hung around the
HOughton livery stable since coming
here, beneficiary on Mr.. Houghton,
who felt sorry for the fellow. The au.
thOrities had investigated the case, but
did not consider the affair grave enough
for requisition papers, and so the matter
stands.
On Saturday evening Mahoney was
about the stable. Although a drinking
man, he was not thought to have been
intoxicated, but the "bOys," knowing
his predictions, joked him about it az
he had been out that evening. This was
about ten o'clock, and they were feeding
horse. On being told that he INA
honey could not walk, he took a step OIL
two and to the surprise of all fell. They

course. Mahoney continued in the SAINT
state all night, occasionally moving, UNI
til toward morning doctor was sum
mOned and the fellow died.
An investigation showed that the dis
ease was apoplexy: that he was probably
not intoxicated else death would havl
resulted sooner.
Mahoney's sister at Hoosick Fall
came up Monday, and the remains werl
taken to that place for burial on the 1T
train. Mahoney was rather simple
minded, but evidently possessed som,
good qualities else he could not hav,
kept his place so many years in Hoosicl
Falls. AS Houghton's stable here il
well known TO Riley's in Hoosick Falls
work having been exchanged. it wa
natural that Mahoney should have gravi
ated there when he reached Bennington
We do not understand as blame Is at
tached TO anybody concerning this sud
den death.

While the statistics with regard to
Mrs. Lucretia Thayer, recently deceased,
were fully given in the last issue OF
the BANNER, a few words may well be
added with reference to her singularly
devoted life.
Mrs. Thayers numerous household APP
parently limited her sphere of activity.
She was at home most of her days, and
it was hire that her wisdom and eff
cheney were displayed. The problem
which often seems vexatious one OF
adequately caring foe each member of a
large family found in her a complete
solution. No house was ever kept better
than hers, no family of children more
comfortably provided for. 1t was al
home that her force of character pro-
duced its admirable results, and who
scribed? Her influence over her children
was destined to be widely felt. Through
them she found an extended sphere, and
who shall saythat her strong life of unusu
al quickness of perception, of rare de,
cisiOn, and of practical faith found moi
its great opportunity. T..
Mrs. Thayer's ambition for her chill
dren was prominent characteristic

promptly. They were at the church
services, and represented their mother
in an enlarging area of social duties
They were wherever they could reason
ably hope to eceive or bestow benefit;
and the motive of their usefulness in its
beginnings was to be found at home in
the mothers heart.
1t is not to be wondered at that these
sons and daughters have risen up to cal
her blessed. The strong tie binding
them to their mother is unbroken. Hel
last words were for her children. Will
perfectly clear mind she entreateC
them without exception to meet her in
heaven. And the love with which these
children bear their mother in memory
fails of expression. Perhaps no lines car
have better answered to their feeling
than these read at the burial service:
"sleep, mother, sleep, with yourhAnds on you
breast
Poor weary hands, they needed their rest;
We'll have we loved you, but God IoT,d yo'
best,
Tia thv God giyeth rest "

Wagons are in use for the first since
December 18th.
The sugaring season is near at hand.
Some have experimental on few trees.
The result is small flow of sap.
There are only few potatoes seen on
the way to market, owing perhaps to a
drop in price. There are only a few
more to go. 1t is thought there will be
larger acreage planted the coming
season on account of the high price last
season.
There will be more than the usual
number of changes in tenement houses
and farms this spring. Some have began
moving already.
This March meetings throughout the
State will be held one week from to-day.
The farmers league in some towns will
try its strength.

been bought at prices that the manufac-

buying goods away down is to be able to
sell them to his customers at prices that
no other house can initiate. His Black

FROM PANAMA.
Notes From Latest South and
Central American Exchanges.

The following items are takeh from Pan
anna exchanges as late as May 31st:
The difficulties in Chile are clusing seri-
Gus fears to be entertained that the people
will be starved in some of the northern
places. They can only be supplied from
Peru and San Francisco, and the former
country has little or nothing to spare, hav-
ing itself to import food.
The British naval power in Chilean waters
is believed to be strong enough to protect
British interests.
GUATEMALA.-The Guatemala Impartial
reports that smallpox is carrying off large
numbers OF people in the towns of Chiqui-
mullla and Guayacapan and In the depart
ment of Santa Rosa.
The Guatemalteco reports that during a
recent session of the Legislature members
approved the arbitration treaty arranged in
Washington and the convention signed with
Mexico providing that a further term of
two years be allowed for the final settlement
of the boundaTy-line between the two re-
publics.
A Buenos Ayres dispatch OF May I4th
says: Gold closed yesterday at 2S5 premium.
On reports of fresh paper issue having been
arranged, the BOlsa was guarded by troops
To prevent disorder. A question asked in
the Chamber regarding Chilean troops vio-
latlng Argentine territory resulted In
resolution to observe the stricteSt neutrality,
but providing for the establishment of a
close guard on the Andes in order to repel
any further encr0aching.
The Panama Star and Herald SAYS: Dur
ing March two torpedo-boatS, the Espora
and RosaleS, each of 7j0 tons, and Of speed
of twenty-five miles, reached Buenos Ayres.
In July the cruiser San Mortln, 5000 tons, is
expected to arrive, and the $500 tons IRON
clads Nueve de Julio and Independence will
arrive in October. With these additions the
Argentine navy will be the most powerful
In South America.
La Prenza says: Peace and tranquility
reign in Lima, and at the same time it is
pretended we are suffering from poverty,
want of work and dear provisions. This is
hardly fair statement of facts, although
trade is dull and provisions have risen
little in price owing to provisional causes.
1t does no good to represent circumstances
worse than they are.
1t is the opinion of the navy of Chile of
ficials here that the insurgent fleet is in
precarious position, and that they are so
near the line of piracy that any little act
against foreign power would make them
maritime outlaws, and the lawful prey of
any nation.

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Rice Famine at HOnOlulu-Death
of Lepers From La Grippe.

The Pacific Mail steamer Australia ar
rived at his Tort Yesterday from Honolulu,
bringing Hawaiian exchanges as late as
June I'd, from which the following notes are
taken:
It's reported that just fifteen minutes
before the Australia left Honolulu the Gov
eminent warehouse, containing $4,000 cases
of coal oil, caught fire, causing a terrific
cOnfagration.
The Ia Leo IS busy naming a new Cabi-
net and appointing a foreign representative
at Washington.
The two astronomers. Professors Marcuse
and Preston, are having an observatory con-
structed at Waikiki, from which to take OBJ
servations during their stay there.
The Hawaiian 6 zette of May Goth says
it looks as though Honolulu might be threat
ened with wafer famine.
a ROAD is being opened to the summit of
Mount Tantalus. Those who have been
TO tile top speak in glowing terms Of the
view, climate, etc.
This is the way it looks to a Honolulu
writer in the Gazette. who airs his views at
some length: If the Hawaiian Govern
ment could obtain credit for the amount, it
should borrow S2.0O0,00o, and lay a cable
either 70 Victoria or San Francisco Sup
pose the Government had the money, aud
was ready 10 commence; what would be the
result? San Francisco would at once offer
a quarter Of a million TO hold one end of the
wire; Victoria would 60 a quarter better,
and then Uucie Sam would m Ike it a mill
ion. In the end, the operation might not
cost TIN. Government anything 1t would
not make any difference TO Hawaii where
the other end # the cable was; she would
be the gamer in any case.
La grippe is reported TO be working havoc
among the lepers at Molokai. Nearly all
have been attacked, and sixty deaths Oc-
CURED during May.
For some time past rice famine has
been threatened, aud begins to look serious,
Rice has gOae up to 81 cents per pound. The
Australia landed about $4,000 pounds at Hon.
Olulu, and more is expected from Japan, but
these supplies are hardly enough for Homo
lulu's weekly supply. The native crop will
begin TO come In about June 10th, but 1t
will be some time before the prevailing
scarcity Will be relieved, The unusually
cold season keeping cr0fs back ana the
large amounts Of rice shipped to San Fran
cisco are stated as the causes of the trouble.
