Growth of a Vermont City.

There is good deal of building in
Rutland this spring. The Bates House,
the proprietor of which lately died, is
being thoroughly overhauled and mod
erniZed, which it was sadly in need of.
Messrs. .Cramton and Carpenter of
the Bardwell are charging the kitchen
to the house by an addition. Twenty
seven years ago, when Mr.. Shaffer of
Albany, n. Y, an old travelling man,
began coming to Rutland, Henry Car
penter, the Junior proprietor and active
manager of the BardwelI, who, by the
way, is one of the popular landlords of
Vermont, was bell-boy at this hotel
1t shows what mucilage-like DISPOSE
ton, ambition and digging will do for
a young man of ability and pleasant
address. Manager Horton of the Ber-
wick House, who is best known as
"Billy" Horton, is having his house
materially enlarged. Who is to take
charge of the Bates House when it re-
opens is pulling good many. a for
eign landlord is likely to be the man.
Rutland's electric line is still nov
city and is heavily patronized. As the
city is pursuing robust growth, not
withstandibg the cry of hard times in
other quarters, the road will most likely
prove good investment for the stock
holders. The "belt line" penetrates
the main business section aud the pref
test residential portion of the cry.

Fiendish Assault.

The details of foul assault upon an
aged woman in Highgate April l3 have
just been made known. Caroline Fish
er, a spinster, aged IS, lives alone on a
little place on the road outside High
gate Center. Her mother is about 80
years old and very feeble. Caroline
does all the work, takes care of two
cows and does the lighter labor about
the place, leaving only the heaviest for
man who is hired occasionally.
Neither of the women is often seen, ex-
cept on Sunday when they go to church.
On the night of April 10, after the
women had retired, they suddenly be-
came aware of the presence of a man in
the room. He endeavored to accom-
plish his purpose with Caroline by per-
suasion but met with violent resistance
from both of the women. The ruffian
then threw the aged mother out on to
the floor, where she lay unable to rise,
and, after a hard struggle with Caro-
line, in which she was severely bruised,
he succeeded in his base designs upon
her. The women can give no clue to
the identity of their assailant and the
authorities have been quietly working
in vain to apprehend him.

The Gov. Chittenden Monument.

AT the meeting of the Gov. Chitten-
den Monument association, which was
held at the Van Ness House. Burling-
ton, last Thursday, the design submit
ted by j. G. White, an architect of San
francisco, was adopted, subject to a
few slight changes. The design was
presented to the commission by Henry
Root, formerly of Williston and a men,
Der of the association, who furnished
many suggestions for the plan. 1t was
not the unanimous choice of the COM
mission, but was the one believed by
majority of the members to be the most
appropriate presented. 1t will stand
about 10 feet high and is to be made of
Vermont granite. 1t will be surmounted
ed by the Vermont coat of arms. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Root will return to
his home in San Francisco after the
contract for the work has been let. He
has been one of the most Jealous mem
bers of the commission, coming on here
from the Pacific coast to aid in paying
this tribute to the first governor of his
native State. In the fall he expects to
return to assist in the setting up, COM
pletions, and dedication of this work.

HOW TO GET WELL

Do You Feel TIRED
WEAK and NJ ERvOUS?
The Wonderful Cure of Mr.. CHARLES
KEMPTON, of Lempster, Nh, will
interest YOU.
Suffered 30 Years.

Gentlemen, - The benefit | have de-
rived from the use of Dr. Dana's Sarsa-
parila is almost beyond expression. For
3oyears have been victim of scrofulous
humor, and four years ago the humor came
out on my leg and made a very bad sore.
Several doctors said that could not be
cured of eIe sore until had the leg taken
off. My wife procured bottle of DIR.
CIana's Sarsaparilla and commenced to
take it, using DIR. Dana's Ointment in
connection with it then began to gain
strength, and the sore began to heal. My
health improved rapidly, and l soon re-
gained my strength SO that l could do
days work. l have the ugly looking scar
on my leg yet, and a few times it has
begun to itch and threaten trouble, but I
avoided any further difficulty by taking
little of DIR. Dana's Sarsaparilla,

around from the majority given Hophns only
eighteen months ago The cause Of this WAS that
the people Oh, there believed that Mr.. Swift h1d
been cheated out of the election when Mayor Hop
iins wa< declared elected. While Hopkins claimed
the election bv l20 majority at that time, Il WIS
generally believed that fraud had been practised
But with all the court machinery N the hands Of
the Democrats II was impossible TO d. anything, and
so il allowed to stand. The chance Of the voter
came on Election Day. and he redeemed himself right
nobly. There Is no need of a power OF removal bi"
in Chicago. The Mayor has almost absolute con-
trol. Mr.. Swift is nervy r'soiute honest oiiciaL
and all look for good results from him.
There Is one odd thing In connection with this
election. When Hopkins ran for Mayor eighteen
months ago. the a. j. \. came out boldly against
him. His opponent was a Protestant and he was A
Catholic. knew religious lines to he so tightly
drawn in politics. Hopkins was elected This time
there the same elements in the election Wen
ter. the defeated candidate, was a Catholic, Swift
Is Methodist Despite this there was not word
Of religion brought INTO the contest. In eighteen
months the whole idea veerel around and the people
righted themselves where they were wrong before.
Another interesting thing connected with th~
election is the Civil Service clause on which We
voted. The term of the Mayor has been increased
from two TO four years and the nroViso ;n,tiird
that he succeed himself. The legsla tuie
also allowed vote on the question as to wHeiner
the municipal government should he run under a
civil Service code. The majority for this was Ho~
That Is in ratio heavier majority tn1n ule ma
jority cast foc Swift, because many perSD Dns di not
vote on this question at al. The DEMENT'S arising
from Civil Service rules in running the government
of Chicago will be Of nostlmable benefit to the city
We looking forward 10 four years OF good
honest government. and think that We VIII get II.

u1rrrr-pRovIDENCE GOES REPUBLICAN BY
900 PLURALITY - THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY COMPLETELY DISRUPTED.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBUNE.l
Providence April 3.-This big little mahuiactur-
ing State has for the third time in twelve months
registered its condemnation Of the Democrauc
industrial policy. This time the Republican vic
Tory is even more astonishing and emphatic than
last year Returns from more than three-fourths
of the State show that Lippitt Rep) has 1880
votes against 961l for Littlefeld Oem). Last
enring the same districts voted as follows:
brown Rep). 20.S5S; Baker Oem), 1880. being
q net Republican gain of about 1000. The indlca-
t;ons are that Lppitts plurality in the State will
exceed 10000. against Governor Browns 5000
last year.
The city of Providence has gone Republica'Aby
about $500 plurality. the entire Republican AS
eenbly ticket being elected.
The Legislature will stand: Senate-Repub-
Ncans. 33 Democrats T. House-Republicans,
CO. Democrats g. Grand Committee-Repub-
Icans 102; Democrats, l.
Every city in the State has gone Republican,
and nearly every town In this city the Third
and Tenth wards. usually good for 2Ooo Demo-
cratic majority this time gave only 800. The
only towns carried by the Democrats for their
legislative ticket are New-Shoreham and North
smithheld Dr. Carvin. Democrat. Single Tax
and an-around Performer is elected a Repre-
sentative from Cumberland
The falling off in the vote is considerable, the
loss being chiefly on the part Of the Democrats.
They had no funds. and their campaign man
ayers made the most half-hearted campaign
,maginablc. The election leaves the Democratic
party completely demoralized and disrupted. The
license question was an issue in several places
and licelsc was quite generally successful.
The Ist District Of the Third Ward of this city.
and the city Of WoOnsocket whore Colonel Lip
pitt's great manufactures are located, and which
are usually Democratic gave substantial Repub-
Ncan majorities.
The Prohibition party vote made considerable
gains. Ir Westerly there were 79 Prohibition
votes against l26 Democratic.
