A Drowning Accident.

a sad accident occurred Friday at
ternoon about o'clock on Berlin
pond, in which two persons lost their
lives. A party Of Scotch eople from
Barre had been up to the pond for a
picnic and most Of them had taken
boats and gone out on the water.
One of the boats containing JOAN
Mcdonald, aged is, and John Mon
roe, aged "a, and Katie Caswcll, aged
Ii, capsized when about halfway
across the pond between Pitkin's and
Stewards camps, where the water is %
feet deep and half mile wide. Nc
Donaldwas a good swimmer and swan
ashore but the other two were drowned
The cause of the accident is sup
posed to have been carclcssness
in endeavoring to change seats.
Parties from Montpelier and Barre
have been dragging the pond ever
since but as yet have been unable to
rescue the bodies.

Hospital for Montpelier.

The new hospital that Hon. Homer
w. Heaton is to erect and present to
Montpelier, is the chief topic Of con.
versation there these days. It's to be
built on the broad plateau between
East Liberty and Main streets, on
about the same elevation as Montpe-
lier seminary. The building when
completed will cost in the vicinity Of
S25, 900. The contract has been let to
Thomas w. Rogers Of Brandon, who
built the main buildings of the state
asylum at Waterbury, and the hospi-
tai is to be ready for occupancy by
January, l, 1896. 1t is designed
under the general class known as
pavilion, that is, separate pavilions
are arranged for each class of patients.
As planned, it comprises three build
ings, connected by corridors in the
basement and first story. The three
buildings and connections cover an
area about 1862 feet in length by 70
feet total width, and will front nearly
south SO as to take advantage Of the
remedialagcnts, sun and air. The
buildings already contracted for are
about three-fourths Of the compl ted
institution, viz. : the administration
building, the west pavilion and the
connecting corridor, and these por-
tions will,in the Judgment of experts,
be amply sufficient for the needs of
Montpelier for many years to come.
While this will be a comparatively
small hospital it will be UP to date
and complete in every essential detail.
The architects are Rand Il Taylor Of
Boston, who designed the Mary Hitch
cock Memorial hospital at Hanover,
N. H., and who have just completed
the Watts hospital at Durham, N. z.
In using portion Of his abundant
means to supply one OF the needs OF
this city Mr.. Heaton will erect for
himself a monument more enduring
than shafts OF granite and will cause
his name to he remembered as long as
Montpelier exists.

Those professional reformers who be-
lieve that all the political crookedness
and corruption is conferred in our large
cities should consider the political quar-
rel now raging in West Virginia coun-
ty, near Moundsville. 1t appears that
the sheriff Of the county resigned the
other day and the Office was declared
vacant. He now makes public his rea-
son for quitting public life. He says
that before the last convention he was
approached by local capitalist who So
licited him to run for sheriff. The capt.
talist explained that the Office was
worth $1,000 year and offered to give
him the nomination and furnish bonds
men If he would draw the salary, retain
$1,000 and deliver $1,000 to the CAPT.
talist. This deal was arranged. The
Office was given to him and the bonds
were furnished. Then he began to Kick
and insisted that he ought to have at
least half of the pay. The Office broker
remained firm, withdrew from the bond
and forced the sheriff to resign from his
Office. And all this in the backwoods
Of sleepy West Virginia!

Mr.. Squires, Of Brooklyn, Il. D.,
seems to be an awfully funny man, and
unlike certain well-known comic
writer, is not afraid to be as funny as
he can. He wrote to a woman, whose
sister was probably murdered, an
offer to tell the secret of the sisters
death for $500, and when caught by the
police he said it was "all a joke" There
is probably no subject upon which your
out-and-out funny man cannot make a
joke, good or bad, but the police seem
to regard this as case Of misplaced
sense of humor. and Mr.. Squires will
have to explain to them exactly where
the laugh comes In. 1t will be difficult,
because the police have no gift for I'M
Outstanding such things.
