THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATrLEBORO FRIDAY, MAY

and with the aid of a diagram and a good
glass, have learned to recognize the faces
of many members well known by reputa-
ton, but | cannot say that | have received
much edification from the intermnable
confusion that seemed to reign, particularly
in the House of Representatives. A good
deal of speech making was i'm progress,
but nothing specially able that l could OBJ
serve. | did observe that no one seemed
to pay less attention to the oratory than
majority of the members themselves, who
did not engage in debate and who. if in
their seats at all, seemed to busy them
selves with other matters. There was fire
in the corner and two members who were
lying down seemed comfortable; others
were smoking near, while others visited
with each other or read the newspapers as
the case might be. The Senate was more
digniiied, and before the session closed on
the day of our visit the galleries were
cleared for executive session. pretence
of secrecy not always well carried out
We have not yet visited the Executive
mansion, but in any event this letter is

Gen. William MclIs.
His sudden Death In New York---BrIer
sketch OF His Life.

Sketch OF His Life.
Gen. William Wells of Burlington died
suddenly of heart disease last Friday after
noon in New York city, where he had
spent the winter with his wife and daugh-
ter. His death was entirely unexpected,
and its announcement caused shock in
Burlington and throughout the state.
Gen. Wells was born in Waterbury in
1887, was educated in the academies at
Barre, this state and Meriden, y. H., and
at 10 entered the mercantile business in
his fathers employ. In the summer of
1861 he returned to Vermont from Cleve-
land, Ohio, where he had been temporarily
stationed and enlisted as a private in COM
pany c, of the First Vermont cavalry,
which was then being formed. On the
organization of the company he was elected
lieutenant, and was promoted to the cap
taincy before going to the front in Decem-
Der, His brilliant qualities as a soldier
soon began to be recognized and his rise was
rapid, first to be major of his regiment,
then to the colonelcy, and then to the
command of a brigade, until on the Both
of March, 1865. he was brevetted major
general. and on the 10Th of MAY was COM
msSiOned as a full brigadier, having re-
ceived more promotions than any other
Vermont officer during the war. He dis
tinguished himself repeatedly in action,
especially in Sheridan'S Shenandoah cam
paign and at Gettysburg. Few soldiers
participated in a greater number of battles,
and none were mustered out at the close of
the war with more honorable record.
On returning home from the war Gen.
Wells engaged in the wholesale drug bust
ness at Waterbury, as a partner IN the firm
of Henry d Co. In lS6S the business was
transferred to Burlington where the we'll
known firm of Wells, Richardson ~ Co.
was organized. In 1S65 and 1866 Gen.
Wells represented Waterbury in the legis-
lature, and in the latter year was elected
djutant-general of the state, holding the
office until 1872. From 1872 to 1885 he
was collector of customs at the port of
Burlington. In 1856 he was a member of
the state senate from Chttenden county,
He was member of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and was prominently con-
nected with the various veteran assOcia-
tOus. Besides his own business interests
in Burlington he was a member of the lead
ing trade and financial organizations of the
city
Gen. Wells was possessed of an unus ually
winning personality He was quiet, mod
est, and unOstentatiOus in his bearing. and
bore with him always the stamp of a true
hearted and genuine man. His funeral
and burial took place at Burlington on
Tuesday afternoon, and was largely at
tended by prominent men from all parts of
the state, business in the city being entirely
suspended out of respect to his memory.
In October, 1890, Gen. Wells was pros
trated by a sudden and alarming attack of
angina pectoris, but recovered from it, and
had since enjoyed comparatively good
health. AT the time of his death he was
planning for an early return to Burlington
to spend the summer

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
AlUnX Once More.

A Petition for a New Trial y MED, and
lie is Resentenced to he Hung.
There has been very brief revival this
week of interest in the case of Amy, the
murderer of Christie Warden. Almy was
taken from the state prison at Concord.
early Tuesday morning, to Plymouth, where
an application was made before Chief JUS
tice Doe and Judge Allen. before whom he
was tried last December, for a rcOpening
of his case on the ground of the discovery
of new evidence. The petition was grant
ed, and the hearing was proceeded with on
Wednesday. The new evidence was solely
that of medical experts, who testified in
regard to the pistol shots in the lower part
of Miss Warden's body. the attempt being
TO prove that the wound was not of such a
character as to show generalization, as was
claimed by the prosecution The judges
heard all the evidence, and after due DELHI
Grafton Judge Doe gave the decision that
the additional evidence was not such as to
warrant new trial, "and the court thinks
the prisoner guilty in the first degree be-
yOnd a reasonable doubt Judge Doe
then resenteuced Almy. fixing the date of
his execution on the third Tuesday in May,
1893. This simply gives Almy about six
months more life.
He was resentenced, undoubtedly, on
account of the question which has been
raised as to the legality Of his sentence last
December, when he was not present i'm
court. 1t is believed that the main reason
why the New Hampshire attorney general
consented to the hearing was in order that
Almy might be sentenced in a manner to
leave no question as to its validity. The
prisoner has fully recovered the use of his
broken leg.

An Extraordinary Accident at will
mantle, Conn.

The destruction Saturday of the great
Corliss engine and its house in mill OF
the Willimantic, Conn, Linen company
was the most extraordinary accident in the
history of Connecticut manufacturing. The
engine, which was bought of Hewes II
Phillips of Newark, y. j., year ago, was
of 1900 horse power. The driving wheel
was 2S feet in diameter, and the shaft on
which it turned - inches. II was running
with only 400 horse power when the shaft
suddenly snapped in two. The wheel went
down into its pit with a frightful crash.
carrying the roof and two walls of the
house with it, 1t was smashed into hun
dreds of fragments and an its spokcs were
broken in two at the hub. SO terrific was
the downfall that bricks in the engine
house wall were thrown 200 or $50 feet and
some of them passed entirely through the
main mill, Both engine and engine house
are piled in a shapeless heap of rubbish.

TrngIe nenth. of Princeton AthIe,-..

The tragic deaths of the Princeton ath-
letes, Lamar and Brokaw, are still fresh in
the public mind. Both were drowned while
heroically trying to save another's life, the
one a girl friend with whom he was boat
ing, the other his mothers servant girl,
who was struggling for life against re-
lentless undercurrent off Rockaway beach.
Mapes, another Princeton athlete, also met
an accidental death some time ago, and
now Thomas O. Spier is added to the list.
On Thursday night of last week while eN-
aiming revolver at his home in South
Orange, Mass, he slipped on the smooth
floor, and the weapon was discharged, the
ball entering his forehead. He never re-
gained consciousness and died within an
hour. He was prominent as foot ball
player. Spier was an architect, and a
young man of much promise. Durrell,
one of the most noted base ball players at
Princeton, died few weeks ago in Italy.
