THURSDAY EVENINGS EXCURSION.


over 700 Burlington People Enjoy Sail
and Watch tho Fireworks at WiIlsboro
Point-A Marrow Escape.
Thursday afternoon about O'Clock large
numbers of people were observed making
their way, with lunches, to the wharf of
the Champlain Transportation company,
and when the steamer Vermont drew up to
the dock crowd Of over zoo people boarded
her, making one of the largest excursions
OF the season. Everyone seemed bent on a
good time, and they got it. The trip across
to Port Kent and Plattsburgh was made
enjoyable by a smooth lake, a pleasant
sunset and the music of the Sherman
band. The boat touched at Bluff Point
giving opportunity for good view of Hotel
Champaign, with its picturesque environ
ment OF rocks. forests and winding road
ways. At Piattsburgh limited number of
excursionlsts were taken on and then the
boat steered for the objective point which
was the hOmbardment spectacle at the
canoe camp Willsboro Point Long before
the point was reached long, fiery red line
marked its location, and when the boat
drew into Indian bay the scene developed
into gorgeous spectacle of hundreds of
Chinese lanterns hung at regular intervals
| along the shore, while many canoes aud
boats, hung with lanterns novel back and
forth across the bay. Soon lurid light
high up on the point revealed a dusky
fortress with a tower, from which floated
the stars and stripes. At buge signal the
ttotilla advanced across the water and open
ed vigorous fire of roman candles, while
the fortress replied with bombs and rockets.
The scene was one seldom equalled in this
part of the country
W lille the Vermont was in living the bay
two Plattsburgh men, c. +. Hudson, of the
firm OF Hudson Bros, and Carl Brown,
who were at the camp hired IAN named
{. A. bigelow 10 row them out TO the
steamer. The two men got safely aboard
and then one Of the passengers wanted TO
get into tho small beat and go back - the
camp. In letting himself down he stepped
on the edge of the row boat and turned 1t
over. Mr.. Hudson and an engineer caught
him and pulled him aboard, but Mr.. Bige-
low dritted, clinging to the swamped boat,
toward one of the great paddle wheels.
The bell had just rung to go ahead, but
passenger rushed TO the engineers room and
stopped him just in time The man was
pulled out Of his perilous position with
rope and brought across to Burlington, re-
turning to Port Kent on the boat later in
the night
The occurrence was in no way the result
or any careicssness on the part of the
steamers crow, and as comparatively few
on board knew of the accident it did not
mar the pleasure of the occasion.

THE DAMAGE BY THE FLOOD.
Conservative Estimate of tho Losses

err visited again the scene of the Browns
River flood, where he found the property
owners busily hauling off heavy timbers and
clearing away driftwood from the meadows,
while the selectmen of the two afflicted
towns were hard at work with teams re-
pairing the highways and building the ap-
proaches to new bridges.
BY following the course of the torrent
from Underhil Centre to Jericho Corners,
the following figures were secured, care bo-
ing taken, as far as possible, to get esti-
mates of damage a little within rather han
beyond the facts, so that this article is in no
way an reinstatement of tho real losses
suffered. This does not include losses of be-
low 500.
Selectman Michael Teddy OF Underhll
was first seen, and he said that it won Id
cost at the lowest $4,000 to put the
roads and bridges of that town in
merely passable condition for the time
being. Mr.. Leddy said also that his own
farm was damaged to tho extent of $3.50.
II. A. Bixby, who was near by, said he
would pay $500 in cash to any man who
would replace his dam and mill flume as it
was last Thursday. Others lost as follows
H. Bowen $3.50 on orchard and crops;
James tltzsmmons, SlUO; DR.. Burdick' 8
farm, $500; II. a. Rogers, $3.50 on grain and
land covered up; S. w. Mead $780, A. l..
Lane, $3.50; Felix Sister has lost nearly all
of his property, which his neighbors say
was worth at least $1,000; d. l.. Terrill es-
Inmates his losses at SO, 900; Z. II. Buttons
loss grist mill and contents is $1100;
Arson Fields mills damaged $1,000: Wood s
property damaged $3.50; l.. b. 81 F. Howe,
Sl5O. The mill of L. w. Curtis, which was
wiped out, is estimated at $1,000 The
Galusha farm below Jericho Corners was
damaged over $500 on crops. The select
men of Jericho state that $4,000 will be
low figure at which to place the necessary
work OF mending the roads and bridges of
that town.
The above losses will be found to foot up
SIG 500, which, with a large number be
low 500, will easily raise the snm TO Sl7,-
600. Then If the damage to the Burlington
and Lamolle railroad be reckoned, with the
expense of gang of 250 men at work for
several days, also the material for repairs,
on washouts and trestles besween Jericho
and Cambridge, the amount can hardly fall
short of $4,000, making grand total of
$l9 600.

the universal respect and confidence Of our
citizens Of all part e.; and NOT a few demo
Gratis have been heard to express the opinion
that it was Of no use for them to put up a
man against him. This feeling vas so
strong that some Of them considered serious
ly the question whether it was best for
them to make a nomination this year.
However they have gone along and held the
caucus, and made n nomination. They
cannot, however,, possibly elect their man
if the republicans Of Burlington begin to do
their duty on election. Mr.. Allen will be
our next representative and all but the Bit
terest partisans in the democratic rank will
