Fatal Celebrations


While some young men were firing a
cannon made of an old anvil at Pownal
Monday it exploded and a piece struck
James Cummings, aged II years, tearing
off one entire half of his head and killing
him instantly. He was an orphan and the
main support of an aged grandfather and
grandmother.
During the forenoon of July cannon
fired by Louis j. Tiffany at Bennington
exploded, and a small piece struck Nora
Hill, years-old girl, killing her in
stantly. She was on another street, 30
rods away, out of sight of the celebration.
The cannon had been fired all night,
Roger Sellviskey. a Polander, was killed
near the Vermont Marble company's works
at West Rutland Tuesday morning. Sell
viskey, with several companions, loaded a
long cast-iron pipe with powder, and plac-
ing it on block OF marble, lighted the
fuse. The men then retreated about eight
rods to watch the explosion. The pipe
burst and piece of it struck Sellviskey in
the chest over the upper part of the right
lung. He was carried home by his com
panions, where he died in few minutes.
He was 20 years old and had no relatives
in this country.

A sad accident occurred at auckland the
Fourth. As Luther Smith was firing an
old anvil it went off unexpectedly, dis
charging its contents into his face, tearing
out an eye and otherwise iniuring him.
Mrs. John Abraham of North Adams,
whose husband set her on fire recently
while she was in bed, after saturating the
clothes with oil, has died and the charge
against him will be changed to murder,
Harry Jepson, aged 40, of Readsboro,
was before Justice Malone at Greenfield one
day last week, charged with making an in
decent assault on a girl of nine living in
the south part of that town. He pleaded
guilty, was bound over to the grand jury
under S400 bail and sent to Jail.
Wallace w. Holmes of Chicopee will
probably be the first man hung in the
Springfield Jail, for murder in the first de-
gree was the verdict rendered, Thursday of
last week, by the jury which tried him for
killing his wife and burying her, probably
while still alive, in the cellar of his house,
September l, 1891.
David Beliveau of Chicopee Falls was
preparing to celebrate in the gray dawn of
the Fourth, and while talking for moment
with Peter Fountaine he held paper bag
containing pound of powder in his left
hand, loaded revolver in his right, and a
lighted cigar in his mouth. A spark from
the cigar ignited the powder, and in the
explosion which followed Beliveau was
badly burned about the head and face and
so agitated that he accidently discharged
the rev Oliver, the ball passing through Foun-
taines leg.
The most shocking outrage ever known
/ tod
Monday. Sadie Stevenson, years old, a
! niece of George S. Stevenson of Gilbert
VILE while playing in front of her uncle's
| house, was enticed into a carriage by a
strange man, who drove her into the woods
on the outskirts of CRANKY, where he as
saulted her. He kept her in the woods all
night, and in the morning took her to a
road. She reached the house of Elliott
Smith of CRANKY, with clothing torn and
! in a pitiful condition. She describes the
assailant as a large man with red face
| and rough whiskerS. lie had stolen the
team at East Brooklield.
One of the greatest social events in the
history of Athol was the dedication of Lu-
Glen Lords new academy of music which
took place on Wednesday evening, when
upwards of 800 of the leading citizens OF
Athol and adjoining towns gathered tc

one of the finest opera houses of western

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
Another berkshire Murder.

A lonely little cabin near Muddy Brook
in Great Darlington, three miles from the
village, was the scene of tragedy on Mon
day. The cabin was occupied by two
Italian charcoal burners, Dellea, aged SO,
and Casino, aged %. Tuesday morning
when the place was visited the two men
were not seen and the door was forced open.
Stretched on the floor in pool of blood
lay the dead body of Dellea, while on a
straw bed was that of Casino, still breath
ing. There were two bullets in Dellea's
brain, and Casino was shot under the chin,
the bullet going upward through the roof
of his mouth, and lodging behind his eyes,
without entering the brain. A 3S-calibre
revolver, with all the chambers empty, and
a half key of lager beer was found in the
cabin. Delleas face was covered with
wounds, showing that it had been struck
many times with fist. 1t is supposed that
after the two men had drank to excess a
quarrel took place, and Casino shot Dellea,
and afterward attempted to commit suicide.
Casino may recover.

When an article has been
sold for g years, and its sales
have increased each year, in
spite of competition and cheap
limitations, it must have superior
quality and absolute uniformity
and purity. Dobbins' Electric
Soap has been constantly made

year. Can the sale of an inferior
article constantly increase for
g years? This soap is to-day
as ever, the best, the purest

no adulteration Of any kind, and
is intrinsically the cheapest soap

The Danger over at East Charleston

For several days last week the little viii
lage of East Charleston was in imminent
danger of being swept away. The high
water washed out hole in the dam at
Echo pond, and for time it was thought
that the entire body of water would give
way. Several families moved their goods
to place of safety. At Derby the water
was the highest for Is years, and break
occurred in the dam, but rs men and a
dozen teams succeeded in filling it in be-
fore the damage was serious.

Two St. Johnsbury boys, Lyman II.
Brooks and J. IL. Kilburn, went West -
years ago and took up 100 acres of land
apiece, and in the course of time Mr..
Brooks added to his holdings. A town,
Sheridan, Washington, has now grown up

sold $50 acres of the original Brooks and
Kilburn ranch for 800 per acre, or a to-
tai of $4,000, TO company which is to
plot it out and sell it in building lots.
Sheridan has been made the county seat,
Mr.. Brooks giving the land on which the
county buildings are located. He still re-
tains many acres of land, and is likely to
add largely to his fortune at no very distant
