An Important Granite Deal.

JIM. Boutwell, of Montpelier has
purchased of James X. Langdon the
entire business of the Langdon granite
company. The deal includes the
famous Langdon dark granite quarry,
conceded to be one of the best, if not
the best, dark granite quarry Of Barre,
and the accompanying buildings.
The transaction is Of more than
usual importance from the fact that
Langdon has been the only quarry
owner of any consequence who re-
manned outside the Granite Manufac-
turers' association at the time OF the
bic lockout in '92. Efforts were made
to bring him into the association but
to no purpose. When the lockout
was inaugurated many cutters went
to work cutting granite for themselves,
securing the stock from Langdon.
Because of this the cutters were able
to hold out till the middle of October
when the compromise was effected.
Naturally the Manufacturers associa-
ton was not at all friendly disposed
toward Langdon. The new owner
will not attempt to continue the i'll
feeling.

Woman Attempts Suicide.

Considerable excitement was caused
in Montpelier Friday forenoon when
Mrs. Daniel McGovern attempted sui
eide by walking in front Of an APP
preaching train. 1t was the 10 O'Clock
Central Vermont train from Barre.
They were coming in at pretty good
rate, when up by the Montpelier Il
Wells River engine house Engineer
r. M. Whe,an saw woman standing
on the track not far ahead. He whis-
tied to her and applied the air brakes,
but it being wet morning the rails
were slippery and the train could not
be stopped before it reached her. It
was the heroic and timely efforts Of
one Michael O'Grady, coal HEAVIER,
who jumped from a coal car and ran
and pulled her off the track, that
saved her life. She then remarked
that she wanted to be killed. After
being thus foiled in her first attempt,
she ran down the track and was just
about to jump into the river when En-
gineer G. C.Page saw her and arrested
her, and she was taken nome. Mrs.
McGovern hac family Of six chill

spected lady in her neighborhood. 1t

longer and was driven to this act of
desperation.
