FORT ETHAN ALLEN.
Out of Town Contractors Look at the
Plans For tho Proposed Buildipgs, Etc.

As the time for opening the proposals for
the erection of the proposed buildings, sew
ers. water system, roads, etc, at Fort
Ethan Allsn is near at hand, Capt. Howard
reminds the local contractors of the neces-
city OF prompt action il they intend to
bid for the work. Two contractors from
Syracuse, two from Barre and two from st.
Albans called upon him Saturday, looked
over the plans, and the former two visited
the reservation. Contractors are obliged to
hgure SO closely on government work that
they want to know the lay of the ground,
the opportunity for securing help and ma
tsrlal, before submitting q proposal, hence
personal inspection is important. Captain
Howard is especially dssirous that our local
contractors put in bids, and he hopas they
may get the contract for the construction
of some part of the work. He will be at

says: "There was a big meeting OF the

the question Of strike on the worlds fair

AFTERNOON SESSION.

At the afternoon session in the case Of
Samuel b. Drafin vs. Daniel B. Small the
plaintiff appeared and asked for a continu-
auce and filed mis- affidavit. The defendant
did not object to ths continuance, but Mr..
Euright, representing William w. Baker u
subsequent attaching creditor, who IL de-
Tending the first mentioned case. objected
to the continuance unless his case against
the same defendant was also continued.
Court continued the first case and took the
second case under consideration.
In the case of Frank n. Baker VS. tie
New England Fire lr'urauce company,
Judge Butler OF Rutland Q ked leave to ii q
L new plea, which was granted. The case
was then continued.
The of Ida Godette vs.. Mary Ia
Chapelle next called and jurg em-
panelled. This is action OF tresspass to
the person brought by the plaintiff to ro-
cover damages resulting from severe beat-
ing at the hands of the defendant in May,
| 1891. The plaintiff, a girl II years
of age, was at that time pupil
in st. Joseph's school in this city, where
the defendant was teacher. Plaintiff claims
that the defendant called her to the desk
and accuse her of whispering against tho
rules; she denied it but the teacher insisted
that she had whispered, and ordered her 10
that she ought not to be punished for what
che had not done and refused to obey the
teachers command, whereupon, it is
claimed, the teacher dealt her several severe
blows upon her head and back, forced
her TO the floor, k cked her in the side tore
of piece Of wood from tie te BILE an struck
her with it several times. The girl com
planned of severe headache and pain in h,r
side for three or four days thereafter, and
was then taken i'll with spinal meningitis
reu aiming unconscious for thr3e weeks; she
has now recovered somewhat and can walk
about slowly, but her left side is partially
paralyzed. DR.. Tlnkoem, who attended her
during all her sickness, testified that sAs
would probably never outgrow it.
| The defendant claims that only slight
| force was usel in punishing the child aud
| that her injuries could not have resulted
from any treatment she received at school.
Tue plaintiff testified and was cross-sx-
amined at great length by Judge Haselton

took a recess until Wednesday. Hons. l.. J.

The record grows apace to the discredit
of football as we have it. At Delavin,
Wis, November 4th, John Peterson
tackled, fell, had concussion of the brain,
and died within an hour; New York,
November 11th. Hugh Saussa was
downed while running, piled on by the
teams, and had his neck broken; Rich
mond, Ind, November 11th, Adds Her
old had his skull fractured in a scrim-
mage after long run and died two days
later; November 18th. Raymond Carew
was killed in pile-on at Toledo, O.; No
vember I'D, at Pennington, Conn.,, John
White was piled on and his whole body
paralyZed, and he will die inside of a
month more; New York, November 24th,
James F. o. Brien of Manhattan College
died from injuries received in a scrim-
mage October l1th; Wooster, O., Novem-
Der oath, Robert Christy was killed in the
midst OF game by being crushed. So
within single month we have record
of seven deaths from football, and all
among picked young men of the Nation.
Had half as many been killed in prize
fights from among the least desirable ele-
ments in the Nation, the whole country
would be up in the arms of indignation,
demanding instant suppression of the
less brutal and dangerous sport.
