our impression is that the arrangement
was Cancelled at all points, particularly on
the Central Vermont lines, and has not
been granted since.
The following is from the Charlestown,
y. H., correspondence in the Springfield
Reporter: "Probably the biggest bunch
of mayflowers that ever left this town was
carried on Monday by Mrs. James A.
Hunt to Bellows Falls for presentation to
her daughter, Mrs. G. W. Labaree, on her
21st birthday 1t measured ~ inches i'm
circumference of solid blossoms and at
tracted universal attention and delighted

1t is said that the four largest paper ma
chimes in the world are under construction
in Worcester, Mass, for the new paper
mill at Rumford Falls, Me One is 13j
inches wide, two 125 inches each, and one
1l2 inches. More than a thousand me-
chanics and laborers will be employed this
summer in building up the new manufac-
turing town of Rumford Falls, and the
factories now building will, when complet-
ed, furnish employment for 1900 hands.
This is of especial interest to many of our
people, not only because of the fact that
we are the second paper-makng city in the
world, and have one of the finest arranged
machine shops here of any in New Eng
land, the making of paper machinery be-
ing its specially, but it has been under
stood that the recent sale of the G.. r.
Russell mill here was to enable Mr.. Russell
to engage in the enterprise at Rumford
Falls. Mr.. Russell says he has not as yet
taken an interest at Rumford Falls, but
may do so later.
Many old friends here were panied to
learn of the death on Thursday, May ), of
Mrs Julia Kimball Atkins, wife of Hiram
Atkins of Montpelier. She had been out
of health for two years or more, but death
came very suddenly at the last. She was
nearly % years of age. Mrs. Atkins was
the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ezra f.
Kimball, old-time residents of Bellows
Fahs. The first p years of her life, with
the exception of year or two, were spent
here, and she moved to Montpelier after
her marriage to Mr.. Atkins Is years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kimball moved there soon
after the marriage of their daughter and
lived with her until their death, which has
occurred within the last few years. Mrs.
Atkins leaves two brothers, Geo. w. Kim
ball of this place and Henry NJ. Kimball of
Boston. The funeral was held in Christ
church, Montpelier, Sunday, the Rev. n.
w. Lewis officiating, assisted by Rev
Howard f. Hill, ID. d., of Concord, y. II.
The bearers were Mr.. Atkins and his
brother, Mr. Geo. Atkins, and Mrs. At
kins's two brothers. The burial was in
the beautiful Greenmount cemetery at

Iight-Xcar-OId Eddie Provost Fails
into the CanRl---Jnsucccssru Efforts
to Rescue the Body.
A sad drowning accident occurred i'm our
village last week Thursday evening. Ed
die. a Young son of viii Provost, who
lives on Canal street, was fishing on the
west bank of the canal, just north of Ca
nal block, when he lost his balance and fell
in. He was only about eight years old,
and another boy who was with him, in
stead of giving the alarm at the block, or
to the nearest persons, ran to Eddie's
home a little further away, so valuable
time was lost, and when help arrived the
lad was not to be seen. Early Friday
morning the head gates were closed and
that part of the canal below them, includ-
ing all the racks where it was supposed
the body would be found, were thoroughly
examined but no trace was discovered, and
the water was again let in. The place
where he fell in was about 30 rods above
the big gates and the theory gained so
much ground that he had sunk to the bot
tom before reaching the gates that paper
was circulated among the business men
and money was quickly raised to defray the
expenses of divers, who came from Boston
Saturday night. Early Sunday morning
the gates were closed again and the divers
worked during the day looking the bottom
over three times and saying the body could
not be there. The general impression now
is that the body must have gone through
the gates during Thursday night and over
the overflow below, although it hardly
seems possible Much sympathy is felt for
the parents in their affection. \ close
watch is being kept at all points to recover
the remains

Rudyard Kipling's syndicate letter on
New York city, which appeared in the
London Times, New York Sun, Spring

days ago, is attracting much attention.
He describes the city as a "long narrow pig
trough and says that its government is
despotism of the alien, by the alien, for the
alien, with occasional instructions by de-
cent folk. 1t was probably on account of
this article that the Players club of New
Gork refused to admit him to membership
on the ground that he did not "possess the
qualities essential to make gentleman"
