village was using more water than
it owned, as has been currently re-
ported, that he village had better buy
more shares.
A. H. Mcleod said the village own
ed four shares while he owned
1872 shares. For the last ten
years, he said, the village had used
as much water as he had.
Elmore T. Ide doubted if after four
more shares were bought the village
would have water enough to supply
motors. He also thought $4,000
was high price for four shares.
Mr.. Mcleod said he would give
bonds to buy the extra four shares
OF the village at $500 a share pro-
vided the village wanted to sell. He
said his offer was good for one year.
N. M. Johnson said he failed to see
how we had escaped from a possible
injunction from Mr.. Mcleod even af-
ter we had bought four more shares.
The motion to buy the four shares
was carried almost unanimously
and the meeting adjourned.

A era YON LECTURE.

The lecture last Friday evening
by w. M. R. French on "The Wit and
Wisdom Of the Crayon" was one
of the best things in the course by
reason of the fact that it was not
only entertaining, but also, to an
appreciabe extent instructive, and
large majority of those who heard
it will undoubtedly be able to look
at and judge of pictures more intelli-
gently because of certain points
which the lecture gave them. TAX
ing principality, continuity, inter-
change, contrast, repetition, SIM
plicity and other points, the speaker
brought out very interestingly the
analogy between art and literature,
and convinced his audience that in
picture-making some remarkable re-
suits were obtained by some SEEM
ingly slight touches of the crayon or
the brush. Mr.. French, who is con-
nected with the Art Institute in
Chicago, did expert work with his
crayons, and gave the audience
striking and pleasing illustrations
of the several points in his lecture.
Through it all ran a vein of quiet
but dry humor, and what he said
and what he did were thoroughly en-
loved. He did not allow his audience
to grow in the least degree weary, but
gave them bright, taking and help
full presentation of a char ming
theme.

SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING.

The special village meeting in
Armory hall Monday evening was
attended by about 200 of our voters
and the vote to buy the four shares
of water privilege for $4,000 was al
most unanimous.
The meeting had been adjourned
from the Opera House to Armory
hall, and at the latter place the call
was read by the clerk and Wendell
p. Stafford was chosen moderator of
the meeting.
A statement of the situation, pre-
pared by the trustees, was read by
P. F. Hazen, and the question
whether the voters would instruct
the trustees to buy four-fortieths of
the Paddock village water power
was then thrown open for dis
cussion.
Judge Smith moved that the
trustees be SO instructed. +. E. Car
penter moved to amend the motion
by instructing the trustees to pur-
chase an unrestricted deed only.
This amendment was supported by
Mr.. Carpenter, John Mcdonald and
others, and was carried.

A NEW CORPORATION.

Twenty-Five young men met Sat-
urday evening and organized the
Bagley Dandelion Compound Com
pany, a corporation to manufacture
and sell patent medine compound
ed by Charles D. Baglev, the WE'LL
known Railroad street druggist. E.
H. Blossom was chosen chairman
of the meeting and A. B. Noyes sec
retary. After full discussion of the
subject it was voted to organize
with a capital of $4,000, each of
the incorporators subscribing to four
shares. A committee to draw up by
laws was chosen and these directors
elected: Charles D. Bagley, DR.. T. r.
Stiles, A. B. Noyes, 7. c. Spencer,
E. H. Blossom. The directors or
ganized by electing E. H. Blossom,
president: DR.. T. R. Stiles, vice presi-
dent; Charles D. Bagley, general
manager; H. A.. Stanley, secretary;
L. K. Hazen, treasurer, and A. B.
Noyes clerk.
The company will commence busi-
ness at once and it looks like
profitable investment for those who
have formed the corporation. Mr..
Bagley has had large sale of the
compound, which is sarsaparilla
compound, and it is believed that
with liberal advertising, backed by
the capital of a corporation, the
medicine will have a wide sale.

THE MUSICAL CONVENTION.

We notice that the county papers,
and two or three of those outside
the county, predict that the musical
convention to be held here next week
will be one well worth the attention
of our local singers. That is just the
end which the committee are trying
to secure, and indications certainly
point to a convention that will be
helpful in building up the musical
interests in the county. An excellent
class of music will be taken up, in
cluding many selections found in
Zerrahn's latest book of choruses.
Chorus and season tickets, the lat
ter with reserved seat coupons at
tached, are now on sale at Bingham S
at one dollar each.
The first rehearsal of the conven-
ton proper will be held at Music
Hall on Tuesday evening next, at 8
o'clock. All singers are cordially in
vited to join the chorus, and not
wait for a personal invitation. No
matter how little or much you can
sing, the chorus drill of the conven-
ton will prove beneficial to you.

he met Conductor Drew running
down the track. Mr.. Drew was as
white as sheet and told Mr.. Fol
som that nobody was hurt and that
two cars were off the track 1t is
likely that Drew had not investigated
the accident, or if he had, his mind
was so crazed with fear that he did
not know what he was saying to
the superintendent,
ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
There is little to add to the above
account. Fred Clark's father is en-
ployed on the Canadian Pacific rail-
way and was Immediately notified
of his sons death. Charles West
had only been married about week.
Fred Green had recently come from
the Concord & Montreal railroad
where his father is employed. He
was married but not living with his
wife. The body of West was nearly
cut in two, while that of Clark was
covered with -four, indicating that
he was smothered to death.
Engineer Bedard saw the up train
just as his train was crossing the
highway above Mr.. Cobb's house.
Hesignalled for brakes and Fireman
Devin ran out on the train to help
the brakemen hold the train. But
the down train had so much momen-
tum that it could not be stopped,
nor did the engineers and fireman on
the north bound train see the other
train soon enough to jump in safety.
They jumped for their lives, but were
buried in the debris of cars and
freight.
Nothing has been seen of Conduc-
tor Drew since he spoke to Supt.
Folsom. The poor man is undoubt,
edly crazed with fright. 1t was over
"a hours before the tracks were
cleared and the loss has been esti
mated at $4,000. This is not
official and may be too high a figure
but it was undoubtedly the worst
accident that ever happened on the
Passumpsic railroad.

VERMONT MATTERS.
A Section Boss FafaIIv Hurf

A big snow plow on the Central
Vermont railroad, pushed by two
engines, left the rails and tumbled
down an embankment two miles
above Ludlow on Thursday morn
ing. The snow plow was smashed
and one engine shattered. Section
Boss Brown of Bellows Falls was
fatally injured and Roadmaster
Sheehan of Rutland had both legs
broken.
An Engineer Instantly Killed.
A hog train consisting of a mogul
engine and % cars collided with a
freight at Ludlow, early the other
morning, and Engineer Address of
Rutland was instantly killed. The
cause of the accident is said to be
the failure of the air brakes on the
hog train. Some SO hogs were killed
and the engine considerably dam
aged.
Woodstock paid $1O7 for sheep
killed by dogs, and received $SO.35
from the town agency. 1t paid So

AT THE SCALE WORKS.

Some improvements are now being
made at the scale works in which
the workmen will be particularly
interested. The old engine house,
which has stood near the entrance
to the shops for so many years, will
be taken down. The building used
in the past for paint shop will be
entirely remodelled and greatly i'm
proved. On one side Of the building
will be kept the engine, with room
behind it for the storage of suits and
for the fremen's meetings. The rest
of the building will be given up to
the workmen. One room is to be
fitted up as reading room and sup
piled with books on mechanics and
engineering, magazines and papers.
This room will be occupied nights by
the watchmen, who have hitherto
lived in very small room in the
tower Of the main buildings. An
other room will be fitted up for the
workmen to use for all eating room.
Smoking will be allowed in this
room. The building will be partly
surrounded by a broad verandah
and will be made as attractive and
convenient as possible for the hum
dred or more workmen who are
obliged to spend their Moons at the
shops. These improvements have
already been commenced and ne xt
spring the building will be ready for
occupancy.

glad to say, has improved rapidly OF
late, and there are very few cases OF
feverin st. Johnsbury now.
The new special delivery stamps
are now on sale at the post office.
The coloris changed to orange-yellow
to avoid any yconfusion with the new
one cent stamps. The change of the
registration fee to eight cents calls
for two Scent stamps, one for the
regular series. The latter will have
Gen. Sherman'sportrait. The Column
bian series of envelope stamps will
be issued this month. After the pre-
sent envelope contract is completed
the government will no longer print
business cards, etc., on the envelopes.
Heretofore this has been done free for
purchasers, thus taking considerable
trade away from regular printing
Offices.
People who have doubted the
feasibility OF running electric street
railways in these Vermont towns
because ofthe severe winter weather
to be expected will perbaps8be inter
ested in a recent stateS by the
Boston Journal, to the effect that
"the last two severe storms have
demonstrated the superiority of the
electric system for street cars.
Horse cars would not only have
been obliged to "double up" thus
reducing accommodations, but they
would have been greatly delayed
The electric cars, on the contrary,
have been kept running as usual,
and no inconvenience has been ex-
perienced by their patrons on ac
count of the weather."
