thrown away, Hamilton finishing i'm sixth

with honest driving, was sent away in good
style and succeeded in reaching the wire

claim that the men used the horse i'm the

swallowed IA Thermometer.

4 14-year-oll son of William A. Martin,
a Harlem, n. Y, builder, had an attack of
fever six weeks ago, and when thermome-
ter had been placed under his tongue to
take his temperature he was seized with a
fit of coughing and the instrument slipped
down his throat Owing to the weakness
of the boys stomach no attempt has been
made to dislodge the tube, but as soon as
he becomes stronger measures will be taken
to expel it. As long as the thermometer
remains intact no danger is feared, but
should it break the mercury may cause
trouble, while the sharp glass is liable to
cut the lining of the stomach or the intes-
tines Young Martin has as yet felt no i'll
effects from the instrument.

particle to dissolve strained II through an old
towel into a tub two-thirds full of warm water,

about twenty minutes or half an hour stirring
them about every few moments. | then lifted
them out into ano'he tub of clear water of the
same temperature as the first, and repeated the
stirring process for few moments Lastly,
lifted them into n third tub of water still of the
same temperature with little bueing added
and folding them nicely, l loosened the tension
on the wringer and wrung them lightly through
it, taking them one at a time as soon as finished

being careful not 10 stretch them over the line,
but pull and stretch them below, that they mi ght

way, and hung over the line by the back seam,

GmiltN or not G.mIItri

On the night of May % somebody enter
ed the house of VI. b. Williamson of Corn
wall. Mr.. Williamson was in Texas at the
time. Mrs. Williamson was aroused and
spoke to the intruder, who jumped upon
the bed and tried to gag her with hand
kerchief. In the struggle Mrs. William
son and her assailant rolled from the bed
upon the floor, and her screams frightened
him, and he fled, leaving the handkerchief.
Truman l.. Eells, son of Isaac J.. Eells, a
prominent citizen of Cornwall, was arrest
ed. The hearing was before Hon. W. H..
Bingham. The evidence showed that young
Eells was in the vicinity of the William
son house on the night in question. He
returned to his home from Middlebury
about midnight AMI told his sister that
there was trouble at the Willamson's. The
handkerchief which he carried was similar
to that left by the man who committed the
assault, and he wore a rough coat, such as
the unwelcOme visitor had on. 1t was also
apparent that the crime was committed by
some one familiar with the interior of the
house, as young Eells was. Judge Bing-
ham, however, did not think the evidence
strong enough, and the prisoner was dis
charged. Young Eells has something of a
career. He belonged to the navy and was
on board of one OF the ships which went
through the terrible storm at Samoa, when
SO many lives were lost.

A meeting of the railroad commissioners,
selectmen, and officials of the Central
Vermont and Delaware and Hudson rail-
road companies was held at Rutland last
Friday to see what would be done i'm regard
to running a street under the tracts. Spec
ifications for tunnel on Pine street were
presented, showing the cost if the tracks
were to be supported by iron girders or by
stone arches, the estimates ranging from
81, ZOO to $4,000. 1t is thought that the
commissioners will order a stone arch
crossing put in on Pine street, the expense
to be borne equally by the town and rail

Edward Smith, the Pttsford man. who
disappeared seven weeks ago, and of whom
no trace could be found after he left Rut-
land, returned home Tuesday morning. He
says that all is blank to him from the
time he was in Rutland until he found him
self on board the cars in the night. He
remembers indstinctly reaching New York
and going on to Baltimore, and from thence
to several places in North and South Caro-
lima. Georgia and Florida, including Lake
Worth. There was terrible pain in his
head, and he did not know fully what was
going on. When he recovered enough to
know what he was about he was at Rance
wort, y. c., and at once started for home.
Mr.. Smith shows the effects of a hard
journey. The first that was known of his
return was when his wife came down stairs
and found him lying on lounge. He had
reached Rutland the evening previous and
walked from there to Pittsford. When he
left home he had 500 and he returned with
$500. He had been i'll with grip just be
fore his disappearance, and the physicians
think he had been suffering with con Seston
