WILL BE A FINE BUILDING,
THE NEW HOUSE OF THE MER-
CHANT NATIONAL BANK.
-Four Stories in Height, Towering Above
All Othor Buildings In tho block
Vermont Products Enter Large
~ Into it, Construction.

The stone columns for the front of the
new Merchants bank building have ar
rived and those for the first floor were set
in place Saturday. Resting upon these
columns is a massive crosspiece OF the
same material upon which Is carved IN
the stone Merchants National Bank"
This is an indication of the permanence of
the structure and the Institution. me
front when completed will be the most
imposing in the city. The building will
be four stories in height and Will cost
about $4,000. 1t will stand higher than any
other building in the block. The work is
being done by the day and no detail Will
be sighted. Notwithstanding the large
amount of money which is to be expended
in its construction neither the capital
stock nor the surplus of the bank will be
impaired thereby
The work is being done as far as pos
sible by Burlington men. The bank is a
home institution ana the aim of the direc-
tors has been TO patronize the home indus
tries and make an exhibit OF Vermont pro-
ducts as far as possible. The granite work
is being done by j. w. Goodell. 1t was
not possible to find the quality of building
stone required in the city. but In select
ing this, Barre granite was chosen and in
other cases state products were used in
preference to those from outside localities.
The first two stories of the front will be
of granite. The largest of the columns
weighs Ave tons and the undressed stone
from which it was cut weighed eight tons
when taken from the quarry. The two up
per stories will be finished with a terra
Gotta front. The style of architecture is
Romancsque The whole design is plain
and strong. the aim being to have ii in
keeping with the character of the insti-
tuition. The large room on the first floor
which is to he occupied by the bank, Will
be 16 feet between joints. The inside fin
ishings will he entirely of plate glass and
carved mahogany. A mosaic floor will be
laid. In erecting this costly building the
institution celebrates its 45th birthday,
having been incorporated in 1880.

TIMELY FASHION CHAT.
Dressing Jackets and Ne.lige Costumes
That VIII Interest Ladies.

Neglige lawn wrappers are to be had
rcadymade in pale blue all inlaid with
white lace insertion They have very
large sleeves and wide sailor collar that
scts out over the shoulders The front
falls straight and full from tue throat
and at the back n little yoke is set under
the collar to prevent bagging. These are
made very long, dragging in the back
and hanging about the feet in front One
is not supposed to so walking about in
them as they are for reclining wear, and
in the hammock the extra length gives
graceful drapery about the feet. When
the wearer walks the gown is gathered
up ia a cloud. displaying the sweeping
under robe. Turkish slippers of satin to
match the color of the gown complete
the rig charmingly. and such get-ups are
by no means expensive.
Dressing jackets are a part of every
dainty danes wardrobe now. These
come to the hips are absolutely shapelcss
and have a high collar that reaches half
way up in the back They are finished
all about with quilted ribbon, and are
made in Gay-colored silks.
A dressy Jacket for an entirely different
use is made of light summer cloth. fast
eninE in the waist with one large button
and having ripple basque edged with a
bias fold in addition 20 embroidery and
appliqued fold. The sleeves are embroid-
cred and trimmed with like applique folds
to those on the revers and rundown col
lar, the silk embroidery being darker than
the material.
Summerweight silk underwear is being
sold for outing wear, for no careful
woman thinks of facing the long season at
the seashore or among the mountains
without all-ovor protection almost as
heavy as that worn in the cool weather.

COLllOEO WITH A CAR,
Team Driven by r. T.. K-olor Completely
Demolished But no Ouc Injured,

The electric car that left City Hall at !
o'clock last evening, while running down
Colchester avenue at its usual pace, col
lided with and completely demolished a
team that was being driven by Mr.. f. =.
keeler. The collision was of such force
as to precipitate horse wagon and driver
into a promiscuous mass between the ear
and telegraph pole that stood near by,
the escape of Mr.. Keeler from death or
serious bodily harm being most miracu-
lous. The scene of the accident was a few
steps below East avenue at tine junction
Of "A driveway and the street. Although
Mr.. Keller was seen to approach the
street in ample time to allow for the stop
ping Of the car, the motOrman evidently
thought, as did many of the passengers,
that Mr.. Keeler would stop and allow the
car to pass.
II will be difficult to place the RESPONSE
bility for the accident. since car and team
were in full view of each other for some
seconds before the accident.

NEARLY A WATERY GRAVE

A young lad by the name of Smith came
very near meeting a watery death Sat-
urday lie was bathing with some other
boys who dared him TO swim to the
breakwater. He made the attempt and
was half way between the dock and the
breakwater when he suddenly threw up
his hands and sank out Of sight. Some
men who were out rowing and were
watching the lad hastened TO where he
was seen to go down and In few
seconds he appeared again, few feet
from where he sank. One OF the men
held him by the hair till he got help and
the lad was taken to the dock and rolled
on a barrel till the water was gotten
out of him, when he was taken home.
