A Prominent Montpelier Man Missing

Z. D. Blackwell, secretary and treasurer
of the Consolidated Lighting company of
Montpelier, has mysteriously disappeared.
He went to Boston Tuesday, Sept. s, eX-
pecting to return to Montpelier the follow
ing Saturday. He registered at the Ad-
ans House and on Wednesday evening at
tended the theatre with +. X. Houghton,
his nephew, who is connected with the
publishing house of Houghton, Miillin IL
Co. Mr.. Houghton left Mr.. Blackwell
late Wednesday evening near the entrance
of the Adams House, and since that time
the most persistent search has failed to re-
veal any trace of Mr.. Blackwell. No sus-
picion exists against Mr.. Blackwelrs in
tegrity. 1t is believed he has either met
with foul play in Boston by some who sup
posed him to carry considerable money, or
that his mind became deranged under the
protracted strain of business and that he
boarded some train or outgoing steamer.
He has a wife in Montpelier, daughter of
Charles Dewey, president of the National
Life Insurance company, and an aged
mother and three children.

600 More Armenians Nlassacred.

The Porte has received an official report
stating that 600 persons were killed in the
recent disturbances at Eguin, in the Diar-
bekr district of Armenian quarter of the
town, pillaged and burned the houses and
killed as many of the inhabitants as they
could find. Numbers of the Armenians
succeeded in making their escape to the
mountains. The town of Eguin purchased
immunity from invasion by the Kurds in
1895, and the people were not molested at
that time, though massacres occurred on
all sides. The report says it is feared that
massacres will soon take place in other
districts of Anatolia.

The striking miners of Leadville, Colo,
driven to desperation by hunger and the
apparent hopelessness of their contest with
their employers, attacked the defenders of

at Coronado, the killing of three men, and
the mortal wounding of two.
The shaft houses at the mines were bar
ricaded, and the rioters were driven back,
after an exchange of many shots. The

use of dynamite bombs. The fire depart

NEIGHBORING NOTES.
Taken From Our Exchanges and COM
densed for Local Readers.

Mar8hfeld Times: Mark II. Barnum,
who for the past three weeks has been
irving to getinto the Richland county
Jail passed through here Saturday on
his way home. When seen here by a
Times representative Mr.. Barnum said:
81 have 0utliVed the days of interviews.
Quote me as passing through with my
mouth sealed, but there is one thing
you can say, and say it just as hard
as you are a mind to, and that is
when the newspaper fraternity is
friendly to a man he has a backing as
solid as the Rock Of Ages. God bless
them, they stood by me and it is an
act of kindness that | shall never for
get" Mark has greatly changed his
mind concerning the people of Rich
land Center and when he left there,
there was nothing between them but
blue sky and landscape.
Wausau Record: The Wausau Tele-
phone Co. has a new list of its sub
scribers Just issued, and it shows 1913
users. 1t is in book form and quite
convenient. 1t contains in the back
part a list of subscribers as the numbers
run, giving each ones place of busln ess
or residence number, wherever his
phone is.
Stevens Point Journal 1t is stated
that person living out from Waupaca
has been drawing two pensions from
the government regularity since 1898,
one of which of IS was granted Oct,
1892. and the other of 81 on March %,
1898, which was increased to IS in 1894
The money had been sent out i'll two
separate envelopes and there being
50, 900 checks to be made out each
quarter, the mistake had not been
noticed before. The authorities at
Washington have been notified.
Adams County Press: All or nearly
all of the dams across streams IN this
county, have been exempted from the
requirements of chapter 337 of the laws
of 1895 relating to tishways in dams.
The commissioners of fisheries are
doing praiseworthy work in this
direction. The fact is, that these dams
interpose barriers between the trout in
the upper streams and their head
waters and the voraCious and destruC-
tive pickerel that in hIghWater come up
out of the larger rivers and streams. 1t
is evident that the ''fool killer" didn't
get his work in on the last legislature.
Pittsville Pilot Doud, Sons & Co.
started up their heading and stave mill
this week. They employ about 80 hands
and will run the greater part of the
summer, during which time they will
cut about 100000 flour barrel slaves
and heading enough to match. They
also have a saw mill in connection
which will turn out quite a large amount
of lumber this year.
Stevens Point Journal: The ladies of
the Eastern Star returned this morning
from Grand Rapids, where they
assisted in instituting a new chapter of
the order. They were Hospitality enter
tanned and enjoyed the trip immensely.
ANY allusion to Room Is, Witter House,
for some mysterious reason excites the
risibles of every lady in the party.
