A Horrible Death.

Charles Satchell, night foreman in the
Haney mill at Proctor, met a horrible
death Tuesday night while alone. John
Glasson saw Satchell beginning his duties,
the same part of the mill, finding Satchell
unconscious, one leg torn from the body
and hanging to the shafting, and his body
badly mangled. Satchell died in about 20
minutes. His clothing evidently caught
on a belt which he was attempting to
throw off a pulley, and the body was
carried around shaft and against wood
en- frame several times. Satchell was 40
years old and leaves wife and one child.

{ Consolidation of Marble Properties

The recent consolidation of marble quar-
ries and works practically puts the output
of rough and finished marble under the
control of two companies in this state.
These two corporations are the Vermont
Marble company and the Dorset Mountain
Marble company The first-named corpo-
ration owns quarries at Proctor, West Rut-
land, Rutland, Brandon and other places
in Vermont, and has mills at the points
named. The recent acquisition by the
Vermont Marble company of the extensive
marble property in West Rutland, for many
years owned and operated by Charles Shell
den IL Sons adds materially to the plant,
and largely increases the producing capac-
ity of this great marble company.
The other great corporation referred to
the Dorset Mountain Marble company
has just been organized by New York and
Philadelphia capitalists and contractors,
who have several leading Vermont capital
lists associated with them in the enterprise.
The new corporation is said to have $20,-
000,000 represented in its stockholders
The incorporates own quarries in Massa-
chusetts, Maryland and Tennessee. The
property purchased consists of the quarries
and mills of the old Dorset Marble com
pany, in Dorset and vicinity. The work of
repairing the mills and plant has begun,
and will be completed as soon as possible.
About 100 men are now engaged in quar-
rying and this force will be increased to
300 or 400 in the near future.

Fish Commissioners Indicted.
Charged with Furnishing Liquor To
Members OF The Legislature.

John w. Titcomb of St. Johnsbury, and
Charles G. Warren of Waterbury have been
indicted under the prohibitory law by the
Washington county grand jury. They
appeared in court Tuesday, and furnished
bail in the sum of $500 each.
The indictment grows out of the visit of
the legislative committee to the state fish
commissioners. The visitors had liquor to
drink and the affair caused much comment.
Both men resigned Office at the time. Mr..
Titcomb said that his resignation had moth
ing to do with the liquor matter, however,
and the governor has not yet accepted it.
States Attorney Stanton of Roxbury APP
pears as the prosecuting officer. The in
dictment is for illegally furnishing liquor,
and Stanton said that he had evidence
tending to show four offences in each case.
The trial will naturally come at this term
of court. The defence will be in substance
that somebody else furnished the liquor.

VELOCITY OF A CANNON BALL.

ITS Measure ment by Simple and Certain
Process.
How to measure the velocity of q
projectile in its fight from a gun
problem. and yet it amounts to little
more than just the division of a GER
tain space passed over by the time
which it has taken to do this, both
space and time being determined by
measurement and apparatus in tho
simplest character. Somewhe re in the
path of the projectile are placed Two
wire screens, each formed of a simple
frame across which Il wire runs back
and forth, forming part of an electric
battery circuit in which an accurate
timepiece is also interposed. AS
the projectile, on being fred
from the gun, passes through
of which it is q part is broken and the
clocl<work is started, the index origi.
nally pointing to zero. On passing
through the second screen the projectile
Interrupts the second circuit, with the
effect of instantly bringing the clock
mechanism to stop. knowing then
the exact distance between the two
screens, usually several hundred feet,
it follows that by dividing it by the
number of seconds or the fractions of
a second marked on the clock dial, rep
resenting the time which has elapsed
during the passage of the projectile
from screen to screen, we obtain the
mum Der of feet per second which the
projectile was travelling. Nothing
much simpler could we'll be devised,
the whole secret of satisfactory meas
urement lying in the accuracy of the
time determination, in which even so
small thing as n small fraction of a
second becomes a factor of the utmost
lmportance.-Cassier Magazine.

'Humph! If you kept the woman at

''You don't know anything about

''Oh, Josephus; never once thought
