Vox PopuIi Answered.
Chester, VT, June, 1885,

Vox Populi says:
eve may safely reckon on double the
sum estimated for costs of electric lights,
etc he also says four score or more women
who pay taxes protested against this unjust
measure in the meeting of June 49," one
of these statements is as true as the other,
(for neither are true.) The facts are, 81
women signed the protest, several of them
say their names were obtained by misrep-
resentation, and requested them stricken
Oft, six others were not tax payers about
an equal number of women representing q
grand list presented a memorial praying
for lights. 1t seems to us Vox Populi
ought to attend North Chester primary
school one term and learn how many four
score are, or does he wish us to under.
stand this statement to be as truthful as
most Of their arguments have been in op-
position to lightsp They have even re-
sorted to buying votes offering $2 to one
man to vote against it. They even resort
to boycotting, notifying their tenants tina,
they shall raise their rents If the streets are
lighted. In the Bellows Falls TINES Of
June Is Vox Populi says "The British
House of Lords laugh at the question o.
the majority ruling, and though it is true
that they do not rule in Republican Ameri-
ca, let it prove an exception in this in.
stance" Why is it not true in Republican
America is it because capitalists say to the
laborer, ''if you vote to light the streets,
shall raise your rent $12 to 1875 a year!
Happily that class of capitalists do not own
all the rentahle houses in Chester. Those
in favor of lights do not buy votes, neither
have they made any misrepresentation as
to costs, ETC., nor threatened to raise the
rents on those who vote against them. We
urge every voter who wants our streets
lighted to be at the meeting next Saturday
night by s o'clock without fail, and remain
in the hall until the question is settled
don't be inundated by threats Of capital
lists. ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

TIE CLARK SUICIDE.
A Prominent Boston Businoss Man End
His Life.


BcsroN, April 1l.-Nathan d. Clark OF
the firm of Clark Hutchinson & Co, boot
and shoe jobbers. was found dead In his
room at the Copley Square hotel, the gas
Jets being wide open and the door edges
packed with cloth.
MIR. Clark came from his home in Ais
ton and hired a room. He was not seen
afterward, but nothing was thought oil
his failure to appear till Mrs. Clark came
to the hotel to inquire il he had engaged
a room. On reaching homo, she was un-
able to arouse her husband and returned
to the Office, saying there was an odor oi
gas near tho room and she feared some
thing was wrong.
The transom was forced open, and the
body Of Mr.. Clark was found lying across
the bed, apparently asleep. The windows
and doors had been carefully stopped witt
cloth and towels, and the very strong odol
of gas showed it had been running lone
time.
No letters or papers were left as an ex
PLANTATION by the unfortunate man.
Mr. Clark seemed tired when he arrived
at the hotel, and his health, which hal
been failing him for several years, hat
been q source OF worriment. He recently
returned from a trip to Bermuda, bu
seemed to have derived little good from 1T
and it is thought a severe mental strair
led him to the deed as there was no evi
dence of an unbalanced mind.
No one saw Mr.. Clark after he entered
his room, and it is probable that he begaI
the arrangements for his death as soon al
be was left alone. He was more or les
known at the hotel. where he had staid oc
casionally while his family were away IL
