l.. Severance, pastor of the old historic
church at Bennington Centre, and one of
the best known Congregational clergy
men in the State, is being sorely afflicted.
He has been confined to the house several
weeks by distressing affection, which
has been intensified by the misfOrtunes
that have oyertaken his two sons. One
of them, William, has just been taken to
the insane asylum at BrattleDOro. Physic-
ians do not believe, however, that his in
sanity can be permanently cured. Tuesday
a telegram was received announcing that
the other son had been stabbed in Chica-

Wilbert (not William), the son whose
mind is affected, graduated from this
college in 1885. In 1890 he went into the
iewelTy business at Atlantic City, n. j.
He was mechanic and inventor of no

THE SHOW OPENED.

The Columbian exposition at Chicago
was formally opened on Monday. Pres
ident Cleveland and many of the notables
of this aud other lands were there, ,incud-
ing the Spanish duke of Veragua, the de-
scendant of Columbus who came over to
procession, of course, and much fuss and
feathers. The visitors expressed them
selves enthusiastically concerning the
quality and extent of the show, as well
they might. In spite of all that has been
said, it is "A great exposition, well worth
any persons while to see. AS to this last
point there is some sensible advice in the
current Review of Reviews, as follows;
There are some moderately intelligent
people in the East who have thought it u
mark of personal or local superiority to
affect Indifference about this worlds
fair. There are a few people of high in
telligence and of excellent sense who
really feel no particular interest. The
first class is not deserving of attention.
As for the second class it is merely a case
of preOccupation and unarOused curiosi-

people will have discovered it and they
will atone for their earlier lack of inter-
est by the high degree of Their subse-
quent enthusiasm. This paragraph. how
ever, is meant particularly for many
thousands of our readers living farther
east, let us say, than Ohio, who must
make careful plans in advance if they are
to go to Chicago at all, and who are now
asking whether or not it will he really
worth their while to make effort and sac
ritice to visit the exposition. No general
advice can fit ali particular cases, but so
far AS general principles can have any
bearing let us all decide that it will be
immensely worth while to go. Do not
lightly decide that you can afford to dis
pense with the benefit of some personal
contact with all this vast congeries of un-
dertakings. 1t was a great thing to be
at Philadelphia in 1876 and at Paris in
1889; but it will be far more than either
or both to be at Chicago in 1893

THE GuLLlslLlTY OF CAPITAL.

One of the seven wonders of the mod
ern world is the ease with which people
who have starved their souls and bodies to
save few dollars will hand over those
same dollars to a plausible talker who
promises big returns. Like the green
goods man and the confidence operator,
the investment shark finds his task COM
paratively easy provided only he claims
big enough profits from his invest
ments. 1t is not surprising that people
who have money to loan place it where
they can obtain large interest, for that
is natural; but it is strange that they
will give 1t into the care of people and
concerns of which they know nothing.
There are corporations and individuals
engaged in this business that are known
to Vermonters and have enviable repu-
tations for careful guarding of their
clients interests. These, we should sup
pose, would be chosen by sensible peo-
pie rather than outsiders of unknown
character.
We are led to these remarks by finding
in the current issue of the United States
Investor, a Boston publication devoted
the interests of investors, a letter from
Olympia, WASH, giving an account of
the operations of the firm of Russell &
Russell, whose principal office is in Chi
cago. They have, however, had a
branch office in Burlington recently and
have operated to some extent in this
county. The firm has been in existence
for some time. Its latest deal is the
selling of lots in what it calls EAST Park
addition" to the city of Olympia.
Its price for the lots is from $50 to S75
each. The facts regarding the "addi-
ton" are thus given by the Investors
correspondent:
This piece of property is an open tract
of sandy prairie, lying fully three miles
from the business centre of Olympia and
paralleled on the north by the Northern
Pacific railroad. The land, with the ex-
ceptiOn of about 10 acres, Is actually
owned by one David Chambers, an old
resident, and is familiarity known as
Chambers prairie. AS near as | am able
to learn, however, Messrs. Russell &
Russell have, in addition to the 10 acres.
or thereabouts, purchased from Cham
bers an option on large portion of the
prairie adjoining, belonging to Mr.
Chambers. For the 10 acres purchased
l am told they paid 800 per acre, although
several of Olympia's most reliable bust
ness men are authority for the assertion
that this land, and that adjoining it, is
not actually worth to exceed $25 to $40
per acre, and could not be sold at the
latter figure today to anybody. As
farming land it is practically vaiueless
because of its sandy, grayelly nature,
but during the rainy season it furnishes
very good pasturage. The land Is quite
level, yet 1t is scarcely more fit to be
termed an "addition" to Olympia than a
similar area were it located at the base
of Mount Rainier, many miles distant.

Virgil Thomas and Robert Swinlng-

ing school in this place, decided one day
last week to go on western trip shoot
ing Indians, writes the Brandon cores
pondent of the Rutland Herald. Pur-
chasing guns and ammunition, they
were about ready to start, when their
preparations were interrupted by the ap-
pearance of the Swinington boys father,
who took the boy home to Leicester.
The following morning Mr.. Swinington,
on going to the barn, found the Thomas
boy there with firearms ready to start
West. But Mr.. SwinlngtOn started him
for Brandon. Sheriff Fletcher was noti-
fled and took his gun and other danger
Gus weapons away. 1t is thought the
boys were drawn into the idea by read
ing wild-west stories. They will resume
their studies at school.

LANDOWNERS MEETING AT BRANDON

Pursuant to the call printed in this pa
per last week, a considerable number of
landowners having property bordering
on Otter creek met at the Office of George
Briggs, Esq, in Brandon on Tuesday to
talk over the situation and see what steps
should be taken to prevent an obstruc-
tion to the waters of the creek, which, it
is alleged, will result from the building
of the proposed stone bridge in this vii
lage.
The result of the conference was the
appointment of Columbus Smith, Esq,
of West Salisbury, DR.. Bond OF Cornwall
and Mr.. p B. Cloyes of Middlebury as a
committee to investigate the matter and
report at a future meeting.

Senator Proctor thus explains to an in

adds that an additional appropriation of

This will be a very important post
when completed. Lake Champlain has
always been regarded as the national
gateway to Canada, and, in case Of
trouble with that country, would be used
as it was in the Revolutionary and
French and Indian wars. Located as 1t

post is strategic point of importance.

THE BRIDGE FELL!

A COAL TRAIN SMAsHes THE RAILROAD
BRIDGE IN MloDLEBuRY-THE WHOLE
STRUCTURE FLAr-ONLY THREE CARS
OF THE TRAIN ESCAPE.
A tram of heavily-loaded coal cars
g )ng north broke down the bridge over
Otter creek in this village at few nm
utes before o'clock this morning. The
bridge is all in the stream, as are from
six to ten cars. At the north side of the
stream are the wrecks of three cars.
The locomotive and two cars went
through safely, and the last car of the
train did not go off the solid track at the
south end.
The wreck is total and indescrlbable.
1t looks as if the whole structure flatted
out suddenly. The sides of the bridge
hung together and so did the longitudinal
timbers. What may be under the sides
and in what shape the remaining parts of
the bridge are it is impossible to see.
But it is plain that the bridge is total
wreck.
As to the cause of the accident there
are several theories. One is that the
high water of the last n hours under
mined the pier in the center of the
stream, and so let the structure down.
Another is that car got off the iron in
the bridge and thus caused its downfall.
1t will require some time to find out what
was the origin of the trouble.
The bridge was something over 200
feet long. 1t was an Old-fashioned
covered wooden affair. 1t was built
about 1860, the bridge that was put
over the stream when the road was built
having been burned. A pier of piling
supported the center of it. Old residents
say that the pier was the same as that
under the first bridge, its top having
been repaired after the the fire. Some
two years ago, when the running of
heavy trains oyer this division began,
the bridge was strengthened by putting
in additional timbers and lot of iron
rods.
At this writing g.: 80 a. m.) no wreck
train has come and nothing has been
done toward clearing away the wreck.
If the story told by a railroad man is
true, it may take some time to open up
the road. He said that two bridges on
the Central division went out last night,
and that the derricks and all wrecking
apparatus of that division were on the
road between them. Furthermore, it is
stated that the trestle put in at Proc
torsville three weeks ago, to take the
place of long bridge burned there,
went out last night, and that all the
Rutland division wrecking and trestle.
building equipage is down there.
No one was hurt by the fall of
the bridge. Those who came nearest
were probably the Rotchford family, who
occupy the railroad cOmpany's house at
the north end of the bridge. The remains
of three cars and quantity of wreckage
from the bridge are piled upwithin few
feet of their front door.
The morning sleeper north is said to
have passed through the bridge less than
half an hour ahead of the coal train.
