Its Annual Meeting and Additions to Its
Collection.
Vermont Historical society held its an
nual meeting at Montpelier Tuesday
These officers were elected: President, Hi
ram Carleton of Montpelier; vice-presi-
dents, George G.. Benedict of Burlington,
Rev. w. S. Hazen of Mortified, and r. M.
Colburn of Springfield; recording secretary,
JOS A. DeBoer of Montpelier; correspond
ing secretaries, T. S. Peck of Burlington
and G. S. Forbes of st. Albans treasurer,
George w. Scott of Montpelier; librarian,
Truman G. Phnney of Montpelier. j. L.
Martin of Brattleboro was chosen the cur

A. Davis of Windsor for Windsor county.
The librarian reported list of additions to
the society's library and the receipt from
Mr.. De Witt G. Pond, of Hartford, Conn,
of complete set of early Vermont coins
and tokens, said to be the most perfect
collection of its kind in the United States.
Senator Redfield Proctor presented to the
society the original documents in the fam
Gus criminal case of Stephen and Jesse
Bourne, including the written address of
Judge Dudley Chase, pronouncing the sem
tence. This was the case in which the
condemned man was afterwards found to
be innocent.
An especially valuable gift were two por-
traits CT Lucreta Houghton Prentiss, and
of DR.. Edward Lamb, an eminent and able
physician of Vermont in its early years.
Both portraits were painted by Thorn
as w. Wood and were originally ordered
for presentation to the society by Freder-
lex j. Prentiss. His wishes in the mat
ter were promptly and carefully executed
by the latter's son, Frederick G. Prentiss
of Greenport, n. Y.

Feeling Growing Bitter.
The PolItIcHl-ReIigious War at Hart
ford StIll On.

ford stIll On.
The political-religiou war at Hartford
will probably reach a decisive point this
week. The feeling between the wealthy
industry and property owners and the rest
of the church members is daily growing
more bitter. The first class still refuses
point blank to support the pastor, Rev. W.
II. Boyd, and the others are endeavoring
to raise the required salary. The leader Of
the flock is between the two fires.
The church committee has given out the
announcement that the advertisement
which appeared in the Outlook about a
year ago, to which the present pastor re-
piled and was accepted was not placed
there by them, and charge the family of
Ephraim Morris with the responsibility for
it. 1t is also their opinion that the clause
in regard to political belief was inserted by
Ephraim Morris. BY this it appears that the
source of the present PASTORS call is now
endeavoring to eject him. Mr.. Morris, in
an interview, condemned the pastor and
expressed the opinion that undoubtedly
Rev. Mr.. Boyd would depart and that an
other minister of broader principles and a
Republican would fill the place.

The British Consul Protests Against
Chinese TOrtures.

A despatch from Kucheng reports that
the Chinese officials are torturng prisoners
to compel them to confess that they had a
hand in the attacks upon missionaries, and
that the British consul has been obliged
to enter protests against the methods of
trial. 1t is quite likely that the tortured
men are entirely innocent. When, once
before, the British required China to pun
ish certain murdereIs, the real cuprits
were allowed to go free and innocent
wretches were offered up as a sacrifice.
The Chinese officials, who too often sym
pathize with the murderers of foreigners,
are thus enabled to protect the real Grim
inals, and seem to think nothing of hav-
ing innocent men tolled off to be behead-
ed

Fatal Runaway Accident Mt Benning-
ton

A horse owned by j. c. Collegiate took
fright at Bennington Friday, broke away
from its fastening and ran rapidly down
the street. Geo. Bushnell, his son Lee
Grand, aged 5, and Walter Collins were
standing at the corner of Main and South
streets. The two boys were run over by
the team, which barely missed Bushnell.
Young Collins was severely bruised about
the head, but recovered consciousness in a
short time. The Bushnell lad never re-
covered consciousness and died in half an
hour. He was an only child.

$4,000, which was given Nashua by Mr..
and Miss Hunt to build a library, has been,

Disastrous Fires at LyndonvIIIe and
Barnet,

Fire Monday morning which originated
in the engine room of the Stearns Manu-
featuring company's tub shop at Lyndon
vile destroyed that building, which also
contained the grist mill of George Shorey.
The value of the new water system was
demonstrated, but as the building was one
third in flames when the water was applied
and the wind was unfavorable, it was i'm
possible to save much of the main struc-
ture. Stearns's loss $4,000, insurance
$10,S50; Shorey's loss probably somewhat
exceeds the insurance of S1400.
The large wooden block in Barnet, oc-
cupied by H. E. Wilson, general store
keeper, and M. A. Bodwell, furniture
keeper, was entirely destroyed by fire Sun
day. Loss about $4,000, which was COW
cred by insurance. Connecticut lodge of
Odd Fellows, who occupied the upper stO-
ry of the block, lost all their lodge furnish
ings.

The Mississippi Very Low.

The Mississippi river is at its lowest
point at st. Louis ever known and naviga-
ton is practically suspended. There is
barely sufficient water in the river to ena-
BILE the ferryboats to cross between the Hi
nois and Missouri shores, and not enough
to permit the freight and packet steamers
to ply to Cairo. But slight hopes are en-
tertained that navigation will be resumed
this season, and nearly all the boats have
discharged their crews and are making
preparation to tie up for the winter.

which is reasonable to expect, the good

At o'clock last night John Cooper, one

A Way Found to Get the Old Lumber
Cleared Away.


Within a short time the old Haymarket
square will be transformed into a whole
sale market. For several days the Com
missioners have been considering the mat
ter, and 1t was stated today that prepara-
tory work would begin within the week 1t
was deemed advisable to hasten the matter
in view Of the decision Of the court in the
sidewalk obstruction case along Louisiana
avenue. There Is no appropriation avail
able for the work, but the authorities see
way to get out Of the difficulty. Bids were
opened several days ago for removing the
frame buildings on the square. The Com
miss.oners were rather surprised at the
bids, one contractor agreeing to do the
work for 800 and the other for $f25. They
thought in consideration Of the lumber
they would receive that they would under
take the work gratis. Building Inspector
Brady was appealed to, and he advised a
way out of the difficulty. It was to re-
move the buildings and utilize the lumber
in repairing public schools, charging the
cost of removal to the appropriation for
repairs to school buildings.
When the buildings and fences are re-
moved the lot will be graded and divided
according to the scheme agreed upon 1t Is
to divide the lot into three parts similar
to streets with curbing and sidewalk on
each, and have the wagons back up In each
section and deliver the goods direct to the
buyer
