One OF the two young women injured
in the runaway near Lake Dunmore on
Tuesday evening of last week was at
last accounts in a fair way to recovery.
The other was still in "A dangerous con-
dition and it was feared thar even if she
did get we'll physically her mind would
not regain its balance. Both were
thrown out on pile of boulders by the
roadside and struck on their heads.
The horse that caused the trouble Is
said by residents of the vicinity to be
subject to fits and when he is in one is
uncomfortable. He has been sold since
the accident and is now drawing stone-
boats in a marble Yard near Rutland.

DRIVING AoolpEMfs.

On Sunday Charles Nash, Thomas &
Weeks clerk, was driving near the Add
son House, having his wife and baby in
a top buggy. when the horse started to
run. He reIned him into the hotel steps,
AS the horse turned at the steps the
carriage was overturned and its three
occupants were imprisoned in the top.
Clarence Riggs fortunately happened
along Just then. The horse had fallen
and he held it down till other help came.
None of the three people was hurt, but
the carriage was somewhat the worse
for the overturn.
On Monday "a man in the employ of
Harrison Mills, who lives Just over the
Middlebury line in New Haven, was
moving, and crawled out on the tongue
of the machine to brush flies of the
horses. While he was in that position
the horses ran, it is supposed because &
bee stung one of them. The man Jumped
and escaped unharmed, as he luckily
selected the nigh horse to Jump over and
so didn't get into the cutter bar. The
horses ran half a mile with the machine
and into a piece of woods, smashing 1t
all up.
On Tuesday a horse belonging to DR..
Smith and hltched to carrirge got
away from his hired man in the yard at
his residence and ran down through the
park in front of the Addison House,
stopping on the sidewalk just at the door
door of the pOst-ofiice. The carriage
was considerably used up.
On Wednesday DR.. Sutton hitched his
horse in front of Mr.. Lapine's shop and
removed the headstall to have 1t mended.
The horse took fright and threshed
around enough to break an axle of the
carriage and otherwise damage it. The
rope halter about its neck prevented a
runaway.
w. H. Brewster and a friend were on
the way to Lake DunmOre on Wednes-
day and in passing team on the very mar

We beg leave to ask the potentates
who control the des.inies of the Repub-
lcan party of Vermont what has become
of that uproariously and riproariously
enthusiastic campaign which it was
sOlemnly said before the convention had
been foreordained to ensue upon the
nomination of two One-armed veterans
for the first and second places on the
State ticket? Here it is within month
of election, and, so far as any activity
goes, ,lMt. Mansfield and the Bennington
battle monument might as well have
been nominated. The Republicans. the
Democrats, the Prohibitionists and the
Populsts all have their tickets in the
field, but not a word has been said in
public as to the merits of any candidate
Tor any platform. A "short, sharp and
decisive battle is doubtless planned by
the party managers, but when is it to
.open?

that the husband used to talk to her of
nights when she wanted to sleep and was
in the habit of doing a good deal of pro-
miscuous swearing. 1t also developed
from her testimony that there was no ba-

and, after learning that there was no 9TH

as was also a similar one in the case of
Earl a. Thrall VS.. DR.. +. O. Porter, in
which case the plaintiff seeks to recover
damages from DR.. Porter for vaccinating
him against his will and without author

ID. II. Sawyer, who was convicted early
in the term of keeping Intoxicating IL
quors with intent to sell, as of second

of correction at Rutland. The case goes
TO the supreme court on exceptions, con-
sequently execution OF the sentence was
stayed ana the respondent continues un-
der the same bail.
At 1 10 o'clock. the work of the term
having been completed, the term was ad-
iourned without day. 1t was rather a
short term. the time taken up having
been in all only l3 days or parts otdaYs.

The exceeding appropriateness of GER
tain of the nominations made yesterday
by the Democrats of this county will be
at once recognized by every one in and
out of the party. The sagacity dis
played by the gathering is beyond all
praise. We fear, however, that some
one on the resolutions committee failed
to act up to his opportunities. 1t is the
acknowledged thing for Vermont Demo-
cratic conventions this year to bang
away at the prohibitorv law, and here
was convention that didn't do it eX-
cept indirectly by endorsing the State
platform.

China and Japan are really at war.
Last week the japanese attacked Chinese
troop ship and sunk it. The number
aboard her Is estimated at seventeen hun

a few days ago the japanese destroyed
a Chinese fleet, including China's latest
and best ironclad; and most of the thou
sand men on the fleet were drowned. \

rather singular that the first trial of mod

The conference committees of the SEN
ate and house are still at loggerheads
especially that relating to sugar. No
apparent progress toward an agreement
has been made during the week. One
day the Washington correspondents say
that the committees will presently come
to settlement of their differences, and
the next day they have it that an agree
ment is impossible. The most trust.
worthy information seems to be TO the
effect that the house will yield and that
a bill substantially like that passed by
the senate will become a law.
