THE state census Of Michigan Is
completed, and she shows popl'la-
ton of 2,24l 64l, or an increase oil lii'-
752 during the past five years. IN
1880 Wisconsin had a population OF
1,BSG,8S0. Add to that population the
gain in Michigan and the state would
show population Of i,s3l632, but we
think our state by the census OF 1880
will show d gain of over 100000 ana
therefore we place the present popu-
lation Of the state at 100000 Michi-
gan has an area of $3.50 square miles
and Wisconsin an area Of b6I0i0
square miles. Michigan exceeds
Wisconsin in area by 2,s75 square
miles, and therefore has the posi-
bilities Of larger accession to her
population.

Rev. Hal D. Maxwell preached an ex-
cellent harvest sermon at the Universalist
church last Sunday morning. The church
was decorated with products of the field
and garden. About 120 grangers were
present in body.
The Episcopal ladies held a successful
fair in Grange hall last evening, one of the
pleasantest in the whole series, covering
many years. In the banquet hall the tables
made an attractive appearance, glistening
with cut glass and silver, each with hand
some banquet lamp, and the supper tailed
in excellence with the pleasing externals.
In the hall above fancy work was offered
to purchasers, and program of entertain
ment preceded the dancing. The numbers
presented included "literal interpreta-
ton of Punch and judy by Mrs. Grace
Holbrook; recitation by Miss Minnie
Brasor; song by Frank Brasor; character
song by Capt. j. Harry Estey, and violin
cello solo by Fred Brasor. The receipts
were about $500.
The closing of the series of open air con-
certs by the First Regiment band this week
ought not to pass without notice and ia
voTable comment They have been 16 in
number, none omitted or postponed on ac-
count of the weather, and have been an
educator in musical lines to the people
There has been presented liberal share
of the best standard selections, as well as
the latest popular music which the band has
been prompt to place upon its programs
The subscriptions have been enough to
meet the expenses with the practice of due
economy, the only ground of complaint be-
ing the poverty in expression of appreci-
alton which we believe is felt by our own
people. We have had a superior band so
many years, in no wise behind the other
tirst-class attractions of our town, that it
has come to be taken as matter of course,
the amount of hard work by those who are
in it for the love of it and the exhibition
ofipublic spirit not being appreciated These
things money alone does nov buy. 1t ought
not TO be left TO strangers to give the praise
due. A suitable place for giving the con-
certs is a serious lack; it is notNthe fault OF
Mr.. Tyler of the Brooks House that it is
not provided. Perhaps the new\ balcony
OF the town hall will prove more faN orable
location for concerts.

HOME MISSION RALLY.

The Home Mission rally held Tuesday
at the Congregational church was the first
of q series of meetings under lead of Mrs.
II. S. Caswell of New York, and arranged
by the various Woman's Home Missionary
unions through the state. The morning
services Tuesday were Introductory to the
rally and took the form of a familiar fell
lowship meeting. Rev. Geo. +. Chaplin of
Saxtons River preached an inspiring and
spiritual sermon from Acts H., 4, discus
sion of which occupied the remainder of
the morning.
After luncheon the Home Mission rally
proper began at 2 o'clock, with addresses
by Mrs. Caswell Secretary Shelton of New
England and Secretary Wizard of Chicago.
Mrs. Caswell narrated various experiences
in western life, especially illustrative of the
needy condition of the Indians, and dwelt
upon the responsibility of our Christian
women for western work. Secretary Shell
ton spoke upon the three great problems
immigration, the city, and intemperance-
making stirring appeal for financial help.
At this point the sum of S240 was enthusi-
astically raised to place the names of DR..
A. II. Clapp and Mrs. Clapp upon Gen.
Towards roll of honor, for wiping out the
debt against the society. After this grand
effort Secretary Wizard spoke upon the ter
rible needs of unchristianized western
towns and the heroism of isolated workers
who should never be deserted by the
churches. and whose work illustrates the
invinc.ble power of the gospel.
At o'clock large company of children
came into the church and were addressed
by Mrs Caswel and Mr.. Wizard, especially
upon scenes of Indian life. The service
closed at with the doxology, and it is safe
to say that no more inspiring missionary
meeting has been held of late in our town.
Delegates from neghboring towns were
not large but were representative and earn

CRUSHED BY THE CARS.

The Horrible Fate OF James Cauneld,
who, Caught beneath "A Hand Car,
Was Unable 60 Escape the On-COm-
ing Train.
One of the most shocking accidents in
the history of the Brattleboro e. Whitehall
railroad took place Tuesday afternoon
about o'clock, when James Caufield was
run over and instantly killed on the Brad
ley meadow north of West River Mr.
Garfield and Louis Dompier, the section
boss, were coming down the track on a
hand car when they heard the south-bound
mixed train approaching. The train was
nearly three-fourths of an hour late and
was bowling along rapidly. The men at
tempted to remove the hand car from the
track and threw it partly off but in some
way not clearly known Caufield fell beneath
the car. Dompier rushed back TO stop the
on-coming train, but had only taken few
steps when it shot around the curve. En-
gineer Ross at once realized the situation
and could even see Caufield lying partly on
the under side of the hand-car, waving one
hand as a signal to the train to stop. The
locomotive was being run with one cylin-
der, the other having been broken some
time ago by striking upon a rock, and for
this reason the train could not be stopped
as quickly as usual. Ross whistled for
down brakes, but in moment the locomo-
tive struck the hand car, throwing it aside
and crushing Garfield. The train was not
stopped until several cars had passed over
the body, manglinC it horribly.
The trainmen gathered up the body and
brought 1t 10 the railroad station, where it
was taken in charge by the undertakers.
| The sad news was particularly trying for
Mrs. Caufield to bear as she is confined TO
her home on South Main street with brok-
ell ankle caused by fall several weeks ago.
/ Mr.. Caufield was SO years old. and was
4 born in County Mayo, Ireland He came
to this country "a years ago, being en-
| ployed on the railroad at White River juno
! ton and Bellows Falls before coming TO
Brattleboro l3 TO - years ago. With the
exception of a short time when he worked
at the Estey Organ factory he had been
| employed steadily on the railroad since com
| ing here. He was married about II years
ago to Eliza Fenton of this village. He
also leaves a sister living here, Mrs. Thomas
| Coleman, and another sister, Mrs. Staples,
| in White River junction. He has three
brothers and a sister in ireland. Mr.. eau
! field was hard working man of good hab-
its, and was well liked by all who knew
| him. The funeral Thursday morning was
| largely attended.
