The granite cutters generally take a sem
sible view of the financial situation, and are
| willing to take checks instead cash at the
next pay day, and wait for their money un-
til their employers can realize on contracts
now under way. 1t may and will work
some hardships, but, unless this course is
| adopted, some of the manufacturers would

The presence in town last Monday even
ing of DR.. A. p. Grinnell and DR.. j. II.
Lindsey of Burlington, Dr. E. n. Goss of
Chelsea and States Attorney George L.
Stow OF Orange county, was not generally
known. They came for the purpose of dis
interring the body of Miss Aurora S. Flint,
who died at the Riverside, July g. Permis-
sion was obtained from the authorities, the
body was taken up, and an autopsy, lasting
nearly the entire night, was performed.
Miss Flint, previous to her illness, had
worked in the family of a leading business
man of West Randolph. She went from
there to Mary Fletcher Hospital, Burling-
ton, and after being there two weeks was
brought to Barre She died five days after
arriving here, blood poisoning being the
alleged cause of her death. The man for
whom she worked in West Randolph came
to Barre after death and paid all her
funeral expenses. Two physicians from
Montpelier attended her during her last ill
ness. So quietly did the officers of the law
and the physicians conduct their work last
Monday night, being taken to Montpelier by
teams after it was accomplished that little
leaked out regarding their movements, but
it was learned that they took part of the
girls body with them, and some interesting
and startling developments may soon be ex-
pected, 1t is understood that the autopsy
was performed by order of the judges of
Orange county court, and that the alleged
cause of the girls death was criminal
operation.
