DEATH OF C. c. POOLE.

Carl c. Poole, boss bridge builder
on the Lake road, died at Swanton
Wednesday, March l, from the results
Of an accident received on Feb. 10.
On that date he was struck over the
eye by piece of board and com
planned for several days afterward
of headache. No serious results
were anticipated until last Wednes-
day when about noon he became un-
conscious while sitting in chair al
Maquam and died at Swanton at
$50 p. m. A post-morten exami-
nation here Thursday showed that
a clot of blood had formed just above
the eyebaIl proving that the blow
had caused hemorrhage, and ul-
ceration would have ensued in few
days had not death iutervened. Mrs.
Poole will therefore receive an
accident policy of $4,000. Mr.. Poole
was 81 years old and leaves a wife
and five children.

ful concert given by our owa
musicians. The St. Johnsbury band

DEATH OF DIR. BURTON.

Rev. DR.. H. N. Burton died in Min
neapolis Saturday, aged about sc.
He had been in failing health for sew
eral months and probably died of
paralysis. DR.. Burton began pastoral
work at Newbury where he remained
15 years. For the next seven years
he was located at Sandusky, Ohio.
From there he went to Sycamore, O.,
where he remained about four years.
The next six years he spent at Kala-
mazoo. He then returned East and
was settled year or more at Lyndon.
Two years ago last fall he removed
Minneapolis. He leaves wife and
three children, two sons and one
daughter. DR.. Burton was a scholar
ly man, pastor universally esteemed
wherever he was located, and one
whose death will be widely mourned.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1893-03-09
HE saw THE COLLISION.

Master Fabian Brook, whose
parents reside just below Charles
Cobb's at St. Johnsbury Center was
out at work Monday, Feb. %, when
he heard the two freight trains CON-
ing in opposite directions, and saw
the two clouds of steam. The up
train was just abreast of Mr..
Brook residence then, aud the plucky
little fellow made all the demonstra-
ton and gave all the signals and
calls, and significant pointings he
could think of. running at the same
time, to the side of the cab, and be-
ing profanely shouted at by the
men in it. He followed as fast as his
legs would carry him, and was near
ly abreast Of the caboose when the
crash came. Had he only been
listened to, much Of the loss of life
possibly might have been averted.
He deserves this note of commenda-
ton for his efforts. Why would it
not be good thing for those living
along a railroad, in such slightly
places, to have an understanding
with rrainmen that they will make
no demonstrations, as trains pass,
unless there is danger ahead ?

THE MUSICAL CONVENTION.

The very first regular rehearsal on
Tuesday evening proved that the
musical convention held here this
week is bound to be a grand success.
One hundred and twenty singers,
besides the orchestra, presented an
inspiring spectacle on the large plat
form, which is lighted by electricity.
The number of singers increased dur
ing yesterday, and now nearly 200
voices are under the influence of Con-
ductor's Humphreys baton, and a
grand volume of harmony is filling
Music Hall.
Time and space forbid an extended
notice now. But we desire to call at
tention to the concerts this evening
and tomorrow afternoon and even
ing. The matinee occurs at 2.3O p.
m. tomorrow. The programmes at
each concert will include a choice
variety ofvocal and instrumental solo
work, with duets, quartettes,
choruses and other features which
will be we'll worth hearing, because
they will prove what Caledonia
county musical talent can do. N. r.
Young, who assists the orchestra,
will give violin solos, and other mem
bers of the orchestra will appear in
solo work. Contributions to the
merit of the programme will be made
by several out-of-town singers who
have joined the chorus.
The concerts will be the musical
features of the season. Nobody
should miss them. Reserved seats at
Bingham's.

BOY LOST AND FOUND.

Chief of Police Miller received
word Saturday morning from John
M. Carrecabe of Boston that he had
good reason to believe that his IS
year-old son was here. having run
away from home few weeks before
Mr.. Miller found the boy clerking
for W. B. Atwood under the name Of
Frank Roberts. He Immediately
wire1 his father, who came here on
the s O'Clock train Saturday night.
Accompanied by Mr.. Miller, they
went to Bina Hastings house where
the boy was boarding. The boy
was taken completely by surprise
and promised TO go home with his
IA ther. Both left for Boston on the
midnight train.
No motive was discovered for the
boys running away. His father is a
twine merchant in comfortable cir
cumstances and the boy had received
good education and been cashier
n his fathers factory at Milton, n.
II. He first went to Manchester, N.
H., and was under police surveillance
there when his father arrived to
bring him home, but escaped as soon
as he caught sight of his father in
the Manchester depot. Mr.. Car.
recabe was very grateful to CHIEF
Miller for his prompt detention ol
the boy.
