The typhoid scourge at Windsor seems to
have abated. There have been only two
new cases within the past week or 10 days
aud only one more death, that of Fred
Mahoney, at his home in Amsden This
makes total of IS deaths. OF the 120 cases
reported, at least 81 were genuine typhoid
fever. Desmond Fitzgerald, an engineer
connected with the Boston water works,
went over the works and inspected the res
servoir and water shed, also the springs
which supply the water forming Runnymede
lake ON the premises of ex-senator Evarts.
He recommended pumping water from the
springs to a small reservoir to be made on
one of the hills near by. Negotiations are
now pending with Mr.. Evarts with this in
view. a village meeting was held Tues
day evening, when the substance Of the
views of the engineer was adopted in n re-
port. Another meeting will be held next
week. when further report will be pre-

w. P. Rice formerly of Windsor, has
turned up in New York, where he is said to
have succeeded in placing several millions
of bonds of a building company which pro
poses to erect in Buffalo, y. Y, the largest
office building in the world. The Saunterer
is of the opinion that there will not be much
call for these bonds by Vermont investors
in Fort Payne, Cardiff and Denison.

Nermonters who have kept track of
Robert Fitton, famous so long before the
courts of Windham and Windsor counties
in cases of incendiarism, robbery and litiga
ton of multitudious kinds, We're surprised to
learn from various papers that the notorious
criminal was on board the Kearsarge when
it was wrecked and that he had since been
in Proctorsvill visiting his mother and
sister. Mr., Fitton has for some months
been learning the shoe manufacturing bus
mess under the watchful care of Superin-
tendent Oaks of the Vermont State prison at
Windsor. Unless he eludes his keepers, as
he has several times done, it will be some
time before Robert takes an ocean voyage
or visits the different members of his family.
however much they may desire to see their
hayward son and brother.

upon any man or woman. A little cold, a lit

Wells River liquor dealer has Just gone
to Rutland to work out fine of $40 AMI
costs with an additional imprisonment of
thirty days. There is nothing remarkable
about this, and there may not be anything
unsual about the rest of the story, aside
from the fact that such things do not usual
ly find their way into print. Baker had
been in business only a few weeks and had
advertised for wife, and letters were pour
ing in by the bushel from young ladies all
over the New England states. Some of the
ladies were very pretty, had good DISPOSE
tons. were either blondes or brunettes, with
blue eyes and red hair while others wrote
that they had good forms and contained
1850 pounds of pure love, and We're very
anxious for a husband II there are any
of these young ladies who wish to CORES
pond farther with Baker they will have to
address their letters, for the next few
months, to Rutland workhouse.

The Saupterer is sorry that the managers
of the company could not see their way
clear to extend the line north to the lake
shore rather than south to Queen City Park
The Spiritualists' camp ground is a pretty
place, but Burlingtonians have visited it so
many times that they will not find the pleas
ure in going there that they would to new
place. He believes, however, that the ex
tension will pay the company so well that
another extension to the north will be
deemed advisable within few years.

The Saunterer confesses that he is in
doubt as to what extent the railroad com
pany has become ii property owner because
of its tracks in certain streets. In fact he
doubts whether the company owns any part
of the streets. The abutting property own
ers have not decided any of their land TO the
company and the streets are supposed to be
long to the city. The company will proba
bly, look upon request TO pay one-third of
the cost of sprinkling as an exorbitant de
mand, but there would seem to be justice
in the claim that it should pay something
towards keeping real estate in place on
streets where the cars sometimes run at al
most railroad speed.

pastor in a certain Vermont town,

The Saunterer is in receipt of the follow
ing communication:
THE Saunterer in the FREE PRESS Of
April 81, says, in reply to the question as
TO why some streets are left unwatered, that
the Burlington improvement company are
prepared to water such streets as the prop
ertv owners are willing to pay for. and the
justice of this no one would question But
the question has come up, have not the
Electric Railroad company become property
owners through such streets as their tracks
run. and in common justice should not they
pay one-third of the expense of such water
ing, the property owners along the sides
paying the other two-thirds? SO it would
seem to many who are suffering from the
dust raised by the electric cars II.
