he was taken on to Brenford, the first
station south, where he got off, and
started to walk the track back to catch
his train, when lie was struck by a
through Norfolk freight train. The

The water filter, which is being built
at Sixteenth and King streets, is nearly
finished. Thus far $4,000 has been
spent on it. It's entire cost is expected
to slightly exceed the original calcula-
ton, 100000. All the arches have been
completed, with the exception of the
small one in the middle. Three of the
AR injectors have been placed in posi-
ton and the connections made. The
iron water troughs have been placed in
four of the compartments, and the other
trough will probably be placed in posi-.
ton within few days. The sand racks
have been placed in three of the arches
and as soon as the gravel is assorted into
the different sizes it will be placed on
the racks. The work of filling in the
dirt over the completed arches is being
rapidly pushed. For the purpose Of
lighting the filter plant the Board of
Water Commissioners will put in an
electric light plant of its own and will
also light the city mills pumping station
and the surrounding grounds. When
the filter is completed but little of it will
appear above the ground.

During the past ten days a hill of
sand has been rising on Warmers wharf,
foot of Market street, until now it is
nearly 20 feet high, 50 feet wide and 100
feet long. Estimated weight, 1000 tons.
The curiosity is well worth visit. The
sand is sharp and so free from loan that
there remains no doubt US to the fact
that it must have been carried in some
manner from river, where it had been
washed by the action of the tide.
Analysis proves it to be nearly pure
silica and well adapted for use in fur
mace bottoms, mouldings for steel cast
ings, and paving and building purposes.
1t is of great value to the Messrs.
Warner, who have large trade in sand
and will supply their sales from this
deposit.

Four Vermont Boys.

l.. e. Chittenden, who was register
of the treasury under President Lin.
coin. writes for the New York Tribune
two columns of "reminiscences con-
corning the late Major General Amos
Beckwith, U. S. A, who died recently
in st. Louis. Mr.. Chittenden says
that fifty years before August lst of
the present year, four boys from farm
/ ing towns in the neighborIlood met
for the first time in st. Adams. Three
of them had studied law in the offices
of as many country lawyers and had
come to st. Adams to complete their
studies under the direction of Ex-
Judge Bates Turner. The fourth, a
brother of one of the Others, was
working to qualify himself to enter
the military school at West Point.
How admirably these four Vermont
bows succeeded will be known when
it is said that one was John Godfrey
SAKE. who not many years afterward
left the law to become a celebrity as
a humorous poet-the Hood of Amer
lean literature. Another was Cory
don Beckwith, who became the leader
of the Chicago bar, a position which
he held until his death not many
years ago. The third was Mr.. Chit
tenden and the fourth.the late General
who was Sherman's COM
missary general during the war.
