A Putney Sensation.

A press dispatch sent from Brattle-
boro Monday says, the town of Putney,
10 miles from here, was the scene yes
terday OF dastardly crime. Mrs.
John Jafrey, highly respected wom-
an, 80 years old, while on her way to
church, was assaulted by three young
men as she was passing through a piece
of woods about quarter of a mile from
her home. Mrs. Jaffrey screamed loud
for help and resisted the ruffians, her
clothes being almost entirely torn from
her in the struggle before she was final
ly over-powered After the men had
left her, in pitiable condition she
made her way to the nearest house.
Deputy Sheriff A. w. j. Wilkins
was notified, and with posse started
in pursuit of the woman's assailants.
They were Pearl Baker, Is; Charles
Ellis, 20, and Frank Ellis, 16, all res
idents of Westminster, the town next
north of Putney. Baker was found yes
terday afternoon at the home Of rela-
tive of the Ellis brothers in Westmin-
ster. Ellis vas found hiding in the
Putney Meadows later in the day. The
oldest of the three, Charles Ellis, was
found today at the house of man
named Graves in West Moreland, N.
H. He was armed with knife and at
first seemed inclined to resist arrest, but
finding himself covered by Sheriff Will
kin's revolver, he gave himself up.
The three prisoners are at Putney
and will be given hearing there to-
morrow. State Attorney Fits of Brat
tleboro will be the prosecuting officer.
The three are hard characters, the old
er Ellis having served time for forgery
at the House of Correction at rutland.
Baker,has made full confession to the
Deputy Sheriff, and there is clear
case against them all. Mrs. Jaffrey is
a frail woman, bnt III spite of her in
juries it is expected she will be present
at the hearing.

The electric locomotive used in haul
ing freight trains through the belt line
tunnel of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road demonstrated Sunday that It's
drawing power far exceeds the expet-
tations of its builders.
Forty.four loaded freight cars and
the three steam locomotives, not work
ing, which had been used to haul the
heavy train on the surface, were pulled
up the heavy grade of the tunnel at a
speed of II miles an hour. The total
weight of the train was 1900 tons.
1t is claimed that this record has
never been equaled by steam locomo'

There is such thing as moral
paralysis. The spiritual self becomes
practically dead. The doctrine Of
natural depravity holds. 1t is not
that men have not good in them, but
that they are inclined naturally to be
wicked. We see in the world men
and women who allow their selfish de-
sire to control their whole nature.
They are illtempered, unjust and en-
vious. These are the natures that
corrupt the world. These are the
persons that suffer from moral paraly-

Almost a Fire

Last Saturday Lewis Herzog was
engaged in cleaning a clock with ben
zine, in the back part Of b. e. Hoff-
mans jewelry store, having the clean
ing fluid in wash basin. A custom
or came in and called him away from
his work for half an hour. Having
occasion to light match, he threw 1t
into the basin forgetting that it con-
tanned benzine instead OF water. In
stantly flames sprang mp, and Mr.
Herzog picked up the pan and threw
it out OF doors, and in doing so was
severely burned on the hands, arms,
and head. Ga the way out he set fire
to the side Of the building, and Dotic-
ing this flame he took a broom and
beat out the fire, Notwithstanding the
fact that bis hands were raw. The
fire department was out in moment
and was much pleased to find that its
services were not needed Mr.. Her
zog is at his boarding place, and
hardly looks like his handsome old
self. DR.. Nelson, his physician, says
that there is but little probability of
any permanent Disagreement. For a
day or two the victim suffered consid-
erably, but now is out of pain, and
has nothing to do but keep quiet, and
get healed up. 1t Is not at all likely
that any more beDzine will be used in
that way in that store,

they believe that majority oftramps
are honest laborers out of work,
They will also provide breakfast and
supper, for which one hours work on

Governor Lewelling advocated the
same plan, aud many republican pa

such treatment. Their comments on
the action Of the board will be eagerly

TURKEY is having hard time at
present, as all the powers seem to
have pick at her, For years Turkey
has limited the number of war vessels
of other nations that sailed upon the
Black Sea, but now owing to the
Armenian massacres, these nations de-
msnd that they be allowed to rem
force their guard ships. Turkey SO
far refuses to allow this, and rumor
has it that on next Saturday England
will force her way through the Oar
danelles. Should this be attempted
general war will follow. In this war
the United States will take but little
part. While a war of the probable
magnitude of this one is to be deplor-
ed, the people of this country would
reap great benefits from the enhanced
price of far M products.
