soldiers Home statistics.

The medical history of the Vermont
Soldiers Home at Bennington, which has
just been written for the trustees by DR..
Lyman Rogers, the physician in charge,
presents many interesting facts. Since
the Home was opened fl the reception of
those entitled to it privileges, May 18th,
1887, to July LIST, of the present year, 1862
persons have been admitted OF that
number five were more than so years old
at the time of admission, five between 70
and so, II between 20 and So, 103 between
80 and 20, and AZ were under 80 years of
age. The oldest person was Sc and the
youngest Al years old. The average
age at the time Of admission was 81
years.
Many were crippled or disabled from
wounds or disease-all were invalids.
The most common diseases with which
they were afflicted were rheumatism,
heart disease, consumption, dyspepsia,
spinal disease and malarial poison. Many
were placed in the hospital on their ar
rival at the Home and some remained
there until relieved by death. In the
majority of cases the disease had been so
long standing that little more could be
done for them by medical treatment
than to palliate and relieve. There have
among the inmates. In the winter of
1S90'91 la Grippe in mild form pre-
vailed in town to some extent, but it is
somewhat remarkable that while the in
luenza prevailed in the village of Ben
nington and surrounding country in the
winter of 1892 more generally and with
greater severity than in either of the
preceding years not case occurred at the
Home. To indicate that the Home is a
healthy locality, that good, wholesome
food is provided, that there is a supply
of pure water, that the drainage and
other sanitary condition are exception
ally good, that it is clearly and managed
in all respects in manner worthy of the
highest commentator, it may be men
toned that there has not been a case of
typhoid fever, diphtheria, dysentery, cry
sipelas or pneumonia among the inmates
since the Institution was opened. The
total number of deaths has been 20. Old
age had three victims, heart disease five,
consumption six, apOplexy two, cancer
two, Bright's disease two, liberation of
stomach one, softening of brain two.
One died insane at the asylum
and two committed suicide. In
nearly every instance the disease which
caused death existed at the time of adj
mission to the home

The Big Grand Army Parade.

Word has been received by local Grand

Palmer has declared that the grand pa
rade during the annual encampment next
month at Washington shall be in double
column down Pennsylvania avenue.
This will reduce the time for the parade
to pass given point one-half. Although
a large number of applications for places
in the line continue to come from indie
pendent organizations, the commander
in-chief has determined to adhere to his
original position that none but G. A. r.
men will be allowed to march.

Several washouts Occasioned by the Heavy
Rains.

The inconvenience experienced from
heavy rains during the past two weeks,
is attended, to great degree, with loss
of property. This is especially so with
railroad corporations, and the different
railways in New England have suffered
considerably from heavy washouts, great
ly impeding freight traffic and delaying
passenger travel. The enormous rain
fall during the week, which is unprece-
dented at this season of the year, has oc-
casioned several washouts along the
Central Vermont railroad and connecting
lines, that have caused trains to be sever
al hours behind schedule time. The
largest washout so far encountered is on
the Burlington and Lamoille division be-
tween Underhill and Jericho, which hap
pened Thursday evening of last week.
The damages were fully repaired so that
trains were running on time Monday on
that division. The washout between
Georgia and North Georgia was remedied
shortly after its occurrence.

any other manner, and under cross ex-
animation denied having administered
a whipping to his wife that night on his
return home.

THE GIRLS ESCAPED.
They Masqueraded as Boys and Mar
rowly Missed Trouble.

They Masqueraded Boys and Mar
rowly Missed Trouble.
There are two pretty girls living on
Bunker Hill avenue who caused quite a
sensation in that usually serene locality
on Monday evening. One OF them is
fair and divinely tall, in fact, she meas
ures nearly six feet of feminine lowell
ness, and the other, though not go lofty,
is equally fair to look upon. They man
aged to get suits of clothes belonging to
male relatives on the evening in ques-
tion and donned them. They liked
their appearance in the bifurcated ar
rangements so much that they decided
to take walk, and sailed out, posing
as two nifty boys.
They had not proceeded far when
they passed two young men who knew
them when in their usual garments,
but who failed to recognize them
in their disguise. The young men were
attracted, however, by something about
their appearance, possible fullness
where there ought to be fatness, or a
roundness where there ought to be a
squareness, and the real boys followed
the initiative boys. The latter giggled
and then became frightened and started
on pigeon-toed lope for home, and the
boys followed at lively gait. A police
man hove in sight about this time, and
seeing two men chasing what he thought
were two other men, he stopped the
chasers and was about to run them in.
when a hurried explanation caused him
to change his point of view and all three
ran after the girls. The latter's little
feet, however, had made good use Of
themselves and the daring young women
managed to reach home in safety.

TONIGHT'S FIGHT.

Purcell and Mabsr to Battle at the Pas
time Club.
At the Pastime club tonight Billy Ma
ber, the Australian pugilist, and Purcell
decide which is the better man. The
light has excited more than ordinary
attention in local sporting circles, and a
rattling mill is anticipated. Maber is
reported to be in splendid condition,
and will enter the ring at about 13S
been training atNewhall, and announces
that he is in great fix.
Maber is anxious to get another smash
at Dawson, who recently whipped Gal.
lagher, and will, therefore, put his best
foot forth tonight. The Australian can
not well afford to lose. He has not been
over successful in getting on matches in
America, and tonight's battle means a
whole lot to Maoer. His pugilistic rep
utation is in the balance, and should he
succumb to Purcell, his chances for
getting another fight will be very slim.
Purcell is very confident. He will
scale about 144 pounds and is in first
class condition. He has trained hard
and faithfully and can be relied upon to
make the fight of his life. Purcell will
mix matters from the start. His
chances will be better in promiscuous
fight. Maber will rely upon his jabbipg
ability and his cleverness to avoid pun
ishment to carry him through. The
fight should be very similar to the re.
cent Dawson-Gallaghe battle.
Opinion is very much divided as to
the outcome and the most betting today
will be at even money. The men will
enter the ring at 9 O'Clock. 1t is to be
hoped that the club will provide disin
terested time-keepers, as at recent
fight there was juggling with the time
1t is also hoped that the principals viii
not indulge in so much side talk as
characterized their last encounter.
