APPROPRIATION BILL S

will continue to occupy the attention OF
the House during the coming week,
after tomorrow, which, under the rules,
will be devoted 10 the consideration OF
business reported from the District Of
Columb bia Committee. On Tuesday the
diplomatic and consular bill, which con-
sumed the major portion OF last week,
will probably be finished, and on We'd
nesday the postoficO appropriation bill
will be resumed. After the postofiice
bill will be completed the army bill will
be taken up, aud should 1t be completed
the river and harbor bill will follow.
There is little chance, however, that
the latter bill will be reached this week.
The only possibility of varying the
monotony OF this programme Is the pre-
cipltation OF a debate on some rssolu-
tion in connection with the coming OF
Coxey's Army Of the Commonweal. The
Populists in the House, as in the Sen
ate, have come to the front as advo-
Gates for fair play for the industrials,
and they may spring some resolution
bearing on the subject which would
throw it open for discussion.

Death of Edward l. Norton.

This community was greatly shocked
last evening to learn of The death of Ed
ward L. Norton of the firm of E. L. Nor
ton & Co., Of this village. The brief
item in Tuesdays BANNER gave the first
public notice that his condition had been
at any time critical, but the favorable
symptoms noted then were of short du-
ration and he sank down yesterday, pass
ing away as stated. He was taken with
what has proved to be typhoid fever, a
day or two after his sisters marriage,
and the fever ran about four weeks. A
council of doctors yesterday morning
pronounced his case hopeless. Mr.. Nor.
ton, associated with @. w. Thatcher, sue
ceeded to the business of the Bennington
pottery, long carried on by E & l.. P.
Norton, after the death of Edward Nor
ton, father of the deceased This pot
terry dates from 179S and is the oldest in
this State as we'll as the only one carried
on by the members of one family in the
country, the management descending
from father to son.
The firm of young men have of late
years greatly enlarged the mercantile
part OF the business, employing several
statesmen, and Mr.. Norton himself travel.
ing extensively in the interest of the firm.
In this way he became widely acquainted
with business men, to whom the firm
name of d l.. p. Norton and the Ben
nington Stone Ware" were household
words in their you h. He was of a
genial disposition and was very popular
here at home. 1t seems very sad to

Council of Churches.

Much of interest conferred in the Con-
gregational Council which convened at
Manchester, on Wednesday. The Rev.
G. L. Smart has been known in the
county as the efficient pastor of the Dis
Giples' Church of West Rupert Some
three years ago he decided to take a
special theological course of two years at
Harvard, and enter the Congregational
ministry. The church at Manchester
called him and a representative council
has installed him. Mr.. Sma-t's paper
and further expression of views in ans
wer to questions, showed clear percep-
ton and good balance. The cordial APP
proval of the Council was followed by
exercises in the audience room. The
sermon on the True Estimate of the
Christian Ministry was preached by the
Rev. Chas. r. Seymour. The installing
prayer was offered by the Rev. W. S.
Ewens. The charge to the pastor was
given by the Rev. Chas. H. Peck, to the
people by the Rev. M. L. Severance, and
the right hand of fellowship by the Rev.
P. S. Pratt. The music by the choir was
appropriate, and the hospitality of the
people of the church made the entire af
fair one of pleasant memory.

Wednesday was occupied in the case of
HarwoOd VS.. B. and K. R. r. Nearly
the entire day was taken up in the ex-
animation of witnesses. Mr.. Barber, for
plaintiff, began his plea about four
o clock, and continued until the court
adjourned.
County court, Wednesday and part of
Thursday was occupied with the case of
HARDWOOD VS.. the Bennington and Rut-
land railway. The case was given to the
jury Thursday afternoon, and after de-
celebrating few hours they returned
with verdict giving the plaintiff $227.50
and costs. Considerable surprise was ex.
pressed at the verdict, the amount claim
being only 5000. Darling and Barber APP
peared for the plaintiff, and Bachelor
and Bates for the defendant. The case
has excited considerable interest in this
vicinity, and the court room was filed
every day. The jury was as follows:
Josiah Whitney, Peru; W. G. Whaien,
E. w. Martindale, Theo. B. Ames, Dor
set; S. II. Walker, w. II. Lathrop, Man
chester; j. F. Sheldon, Rupert; A. H.

appealed.
Thursday afternoon in the county
court the case of Mary Jane Bliss VS..
George NJ. Bemis was called. Both par
ties are from Readsboro, and the case
promises to be quite an interesting one
and to occupy the balance of the week.
Bemis was appointed guardian of the
mother of the plaintiff who owned
a small house in Readsboro. He took
the old lady to the poor farm intending
to sell the place and devote the proceeds
to her support. Mrs. Bemis moved into
it one day claiming the right of posses
sion and one morning while she was out
the defendant entered the house, locked
it from the inside and obliged the plant
if to gain entIance on her return by
climbing through window In the kltch-
en-.
Batchelder and Bates appear for the
plaintiff and Robb for the defense.

James Meredith Commits Suicide
The village was shocked late Wednes
day afternoon when it was learned that
James Meredith had committed suicide
by taking dose of fluid extract of aeon
lite, deadly poison and one quick to act.
Meredith, who was known as one of the
best plumbers i'll the StNte, and pleas
ant social fellow when himself, took the
cure for drink over year ago, and for n
long time was a reformed man. Break
ing over, he was again taken and given a
course OF treatment, but he could not
withstand temptation and fell again.
The Odn Fellows also tried hard to get
him to leave drink alone, but he contin.
ually yielded. About year and half
ago he formed the partnership of Mere
dith e. WinslOw, which was dissolved a
few weeks ago, he going in company
with j. S. Lindley, one of the leading
contractors here. This partnership was
dissolved last week because of Mere
diGh's drinking habit, since which time
he has been respondent. While under
the influence of liquor Wednesday, Mer-
edith started up the street to 90 to Lind
ley's office. He stopped in the drug
store of Van Week d Potter and pur-
chased bottle of fluid extract of aeon
ite for medicine, and went from there to
the office, where he sat down and chat
ted with a couple of meu who were
there. Upon the return of Mr.. Lindley,
Meredith said to him: Il suppose it's
all over between you and me-" to which
Mr.. Lindley said: yes, | can't do bust
ness this way" Meredith replied: Its
all right" and started toward the door,
saying as he went to one of the men:
You have drunk more to-day than |
have" AS he said that he staggered,
and before he could be reached fell, but
was caught and laid on a lounge. Med
ical assistance was procured as soon as
possible, but too late to save him.
There appeared to be about teaspoon
full of aconite gone from the bottle, but
no one saw him take any.
Before he died he said: "Work, you
can't beat it," his last words being:
kill me quick" He was man well
liked, but had tried before to kill him
self while under the Influence of liquor.
He was an Odd Fellow and members of
the craft took charge of the remains
Meredith formerly lived in Troy, N. Y,
where has relatives.
He came to Bennington from Middle
bury about two years ago, though he had
worked off and on in Bennington for
number of years, and secured work at
the establishment of Harry Willoughby
He leaves wife and four children.
The funeral took place this afternoon
and was under the auspices of Stark

member, and who conducted the SER

died in n cell there, and from 20 10 ID
officers and ij prisoners were exposed to

drunk and asked tue police to lock him
up until he was sober. This was done
and a few hours after the keeper noticed

black.
The health department was at once
notified and as soon as the health officer
reached the man. he pronounced the dis
ease black smallpox. Everything was
done to relieve the man and he was re-
moved 10 the post house, but before the

CAVE pWELLsRs OF MEXICO.
Explorer Carl LumhoItk Tells n Tslc
OF Ihem.

WAsHINGroS. April 9.-Carl Lumholtz,
the young German explorer, who during
the past Two years has made an extensive
study of the cave dwcllcrs of old Mexico.
gave n talk on the results Of his discover
les 10 the National Geographic society.
Mr.. Lumholts prosecuted nearly all Of
his researches alone, without arms or
companions, and scarcely any outfit, eN-
ccpr a camera and a notc book, both OF
which he brough, back filed with n rich
store of facts concerning what is probably
the most ancient family of human beings
on tho continent.
The lecture was richly illustrated with
stereopiicon views, showing the curious
little cavo people, their houses and house
hold utensils, and many of their domestic
occupations aud religious ceremonies.
Two principal tribes inhabit caves in al
most inaccess bic ledges Of the soft sand
stone cliffs; the Pimas, who dwell in the
barancas, or canyons, and tho Tara Hu-
mari, whose homes are in the highland
mountain region.
The talk was full Of color and life, Civ
ing a vivid idea of the nature and habits
OF the ,aciturn little mouniaincers, who
mus, bc hali-cousins to tho iroglytlite
cave men OF prehistoric Europe. Their
worship is OF tho sun, as the lord ruler
over all; but, beside the supreme deity,
they have plant aud animal worship.
They sing nj their religious festivals. all
of which include copious hbations of cac-
tus beer, poured both 10 themselves and
TO their gods. Professor Dumholis gave
several entertaining renditions Of native
music that were quite as remarkable as
the rost OF the lecture, the only wonder
being how he managed to retain the tune,
II tune 1t could bc called, unless phono-
graph was included in his outfit.
