DEATH OF VID SILSBY.

Another of St. Johnsbury's longtime
residents-a man who for many years had
been active in Caledonia countys bust
ness circles-was laid to rest at Lunen-
burgh on Sunday last. David Silsby was
born at Lunenburgh April 81, 1918, be-
ing the son of Mitchell Silsby of that
town, and was the only one left of six
boys in that family. When 81 years of
age he left Lunenburgh and for a good
many years thereafter was in mercantile
business at Waterford and Passumpsic
alternately his first venture in business
for himself being at Passumpsic. Subse-
quently Mr.. Silsby came to st. Johnsbury
and started the first store here wholly
devoted to ready-made clothing and
furnishings, on Railroad, street where the
Danville block now is. After few years
he sold out this business and went to
Lyndonville, where, with his nephew,
Frank w. Silsby, he opened a clothing
store. In the course of a few years he
left the store and embarked in the lumber
business, having two or three mills at
Westmore and Newark; subsequently he
closed these out and had since devoted his
attention to real estate and his horses, of
which he had several valuable specimens
and was deservedly fond of them. Dur
ing the war Mr. Silsby served as recruit
ing officer in this vicinity and had to do
with the enlistment of a great many
men. For about 80 years past he had
made his home at the St. Johnsbury house,
where he died, and did his travelling to
and from his places of business by team,
seldom, if ever, riding on the cars. He
was careful and keen business man, of
excellent judgment and had wide ac-
quaintance with men and matters in this
part of the state. He was of social
temperament, and had kind heart his
nephews especially being able to testify
to his iberality, which was bestowed
very wisely. His health had been poor
for many years, and what proved to be
his last sickness began the past winter;
he had rallied somewhat, but on Wednes-
day afternoon of last week sustained
shock of apoplexy, which resulted in his
death on Friday morning.

hereby band ourselves in an association
for this purpose

are the special subjects which the
club proposes to consider and work
upon-and could there be a more en-
pertaining and strengthening bill of
fare? The ladies, it seems to us, have
made an excellent move, and the club
should include a large membership.

work indicated above, the ladies will
reap much benefit individually, and

CoMPANYs ANNUAL

The directors presented the following
report to the stockholders:
THE DIRECTORS REPORT.
Your directors beg to present to the
stockholders of E. & T. Fairbanks and
company their sixteenth annual report.
The general depression in business dur
ing the past year caused a material fall
ing off in demand for our goods, and
while the sales were large, they compare
unfavorably in volume with the three
years next preceding. The disturbed
political and financial condition of sew
eral foreign countries which have been
large markets for our scales, will indicate
one notable cause for the reduced volume
of sales. The stringency in the money
market in the months preceding the
wear 1891 doubtless checked or DELAYED
many plans which, if carried out, would
have largely added to the demand for
scales. In some portions of the country,
however, the business has been of usual
volume, and we look upon the lighter
demand as only of a temporary nature.
The net prices obtained during the
past year have been somewhat better
than in the previous year, so that the
results of the business have been fairly
satisfactory, and the indications for the
present year are encouraging.
Two dividends of three per cent each
have been paid, and the surplus earnings
have been applied to the payment of
special OUTLAWS in improvements in the
manufacturing department, and in re-
ducing valuations in the inventory of the
property of the company.
The boilers and power supply have for
along time been felt to be inadequate, and
from their age tan average of 20 years
use) a source of some anxiety. Your
directors therefore decided to authorize
the purchase of four new steel boilers.
and of a 500 horse power compound
condensing engine, and also the erection
of a new brick chimney: the latter
thirteen feet in diameter at the base,
eight and half feet at the top, and of a
height of 152 feet. The whole plant is
now in fine working order, giving ample
power and heat, at noticeablv reduced
expense from the one which it replaced.
Many minor improvements have been
made in the general plans of the manu-
featuring department, and of the ma
chinery employed, resulting in reduc-
ton of cost of production with a marked
Improvement in quality.

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Admiral Walker Leaves for Venezuela on
Board of the Chicago Entrusted
With Sealed Orders.

Consul-General Sutton has cabled the
State Department that the time for the
free importation OF corn has been ex.
tended by the Mexican Government
until November Is.
The "ten days" statement Just issued
from the Treasury shows the total net
gold in the Treasury to be $l14,21S,97
an increase OF about $4,000 since the
first of the month. The receipts at New
York from customs in that time were
$3,O77 ,8O3, showing slight falling off
from the corresponding period of last
year, and decrease of more than 81
100000 as compared with the first ten
days OF August, 1892. This large de-
crease OF % per cent. is evidently due to
cholera, all the steamers now at quaran-
tine being heavily laden with goods.
Treasury officials are anticipating a
heavy decrease in customs receipts be-
cause of the cholera epidemic in Europe.
There are good reasons for believing
that the sealed instructions which were
delivered to Admiral Walker on board
the Chicago entrusted him with a mis-
sion more important perhaps than any
uIlHt udc Ucou COuuucO W du American
naval officer in recent years. The pro-
tracted conference which President Har-
rison held with Acting Secretary of State
Adee on his recent visit to Washington
the long consultation between Secretary
of the Navy Tracy and Mr.. Adee before
Admiral Walkers orders were finally
agreed upon; the carefully worded
official statement given out that Admiral
Walker "was directed to pursue vigor-
GUS course in dealing with the situation.
in connection with foreign
aggression" all take new significance
on the supposition, believed to be we'll
founded, that Admiral Walkers mission
to La Guayra with his squadron will be
to proffer the friendly Intervention of
the United States to the Venezuelan
whoever they may be by the
time he arrives out there, for the pur-
pose OF preventing the final absorption
Of Venezuelan territory by Great Brit
ain, and, further, to secure the restora-
ton OF the status quo as to such bounda-
ries as existed prior to 1877, and to OBJ
tair consent for submission to arbitra-
tion of the question of title to the terri
tory in dispute.

One for the AIinister

An old minister in the south side of Glas.
gov, who was noted for his habit of dishine
up old sermons again and again, was one
day advertised to preach in a suburban
church at the anniversary service there.
An old woman, who in days gone by had
sat under his ministry, but who had now
removed from his neighborhood, deter
mined to go in and hear him preach on this
particular occasion. After the close of the
service she waited on the clergyman. who
greeted her cordially and asked what she
thought of his discourse. "Eh, man." she
replied candidly, ''it's a lang time sim
first heard ye preach that yin, sir, and I've
heard ye at it a guild wheen o. times sim
syne."
"Ay, Janet" said the minister; "how of.
ten do ye think ye've heard it, nai 'Oh.
aboot dizzen o. times, SIR" she replied
"An' div ye mind it az" said the minister
"Aweel, maybe no. it a., sir" "Weel, see
I'll need to preach it to ye again, Janet"
said the minister, and Janet felt that she
had been sold for once. The minister cer-
