Alonzo Mack, Il. F. II. S. '94, was Sc
riously injured Wednesday evening while
firing a cannon near the Baptist church.
An unexpected discharge of the piece filled
his face and eyes full of powder. AT first
there were fears the eyesight might be in
iured, but present indications are it will
not, and although he has painful injury
the only permanent result will be slight
designation from the burned powder I'M
der the skin. The physicians have picked
it out as thoroughly as possible. He has
been employed as fireman on the Rutland
road the most of the time since leaving

to leave their interest in the business in

Grand Army Veteran. Parade

The annual parade of the Grand Army
of the Republic was made Wednesday at
ST. Paul, MINI. Nearly 10000 veterans
tramped the streets of that city for several
hours. A living flag, composed of school
children, was the feature of the day that
most appealed to the marching veterans,
and many touching scenes were witnessed
in front Of the mammoth chorus. Massa-
chusetts drew applause all along the line,
and little Vermont was cheered as loudly
as the largest department in the parade.

The Interpretation.
From the Springfield Republican.


There is only one Interpretation to be
put upon this result 1t means that the
free-silver propaganda has not made the
slightest impression upon the Republican
rank and file in the East while thous-
ands of Democrats have alienated from
their own party by the Chicago departure
If silver is strong anywhere it should be
strong in the agricultural sections As an
English bimetallist said the other day, this
movement is of all things an agrarian
movement. But Vermont, the most dis
tinctiyely agricultural state in New Eng
land, testities in its vote of Tuesday that
this silver business is not even an agrarian
movement in this part of the country. And
II not that 1t has no place TO lay its head
hereabouts. The fight in the ma
ton at large is by no means yet Won But
this victory will infuse new energy and
hope into the already confident ranks of
the supporters of the national honor and
credit, and help nightly to prepare the
way for an overwhelming defeat of the
popocratic movement

test it by asking how much he himself
dwells upon the condition of others. By
as much as their grievances do not partic-
ularly concern him, by so much his own
are matters of indifference to them. So let

his affronts, make himself agreeable, trust
in Providence, and thankfully take what

Tuesdays Election.

Interest in the Result Absorbs Atten-
tion--A Rig Vote and Large Repub-
IIcan Observation-Disclosures Monday
and wednesday Evenings, and the
Town Painted Red.
Never in the history of our town has in
terest been more intense in the result of
the September election than during the
first three days of this week. 1t was the
all-absorbing topic with all, and very little
other business was done. Both parties
wereIwell organized, and a close canvass
had been made through the town by each
with view of getting out as nearly full
vote as possible. The result Tuesday was
the casting of much larger vote than ever
before, the total being 940 on the state
ticket. This was divided as follows: Grout
TAT, jackson 1859, three Prohibition, and
two Peoples, with 10 spoiled by not mark
ing or marking too much. Two years ago
the vote was $40 and 1872, with three scat
tering, making a total of sos cast. The
town elected Preston II. Hadley as its rep
resentative by a majority of SAG. Mr..
Hadley is young man who has been cash
Ter of the national bank of Bellows Falls
for some years and is popular with ALL
Monday evening grand rally was held,
and despite the rainy weather of portion
of the day and evening it was one of the
largest similar demonstrations ever given
here, but was completely eclipsed by the
jollification of Wednesday evening, when
the village was literally "painted red' in
many ways. Each demonstration had its
parade of horsemen, footmen in uniforms
and without, and bicycle riders, but We'd
nesday evening the procession was much
longer, and consisted of division compos-
ed of employees of Osgood & Barker with a
uniform of plug hats and brooms, division
of the Vermont Farm Machine companys
employees, and number of carriages dec
corated. All the streets of the village were
marched through to the music of the band
and various drum corps, as well as every
conceivable instrument for making a noise,
whether melodious or not. Places of bust
ness as well as private dwellings were dec
GRATED at all points both evenings, and the
village twas one blaze of light. Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings the boys had i'm
mense bonfires in the square until very
late hour, and as at first stated, the atten
ton of the residents for the three days was
taken up both day and night with political
matters and rejoicings over the results.

effects of the superb nutriment. There are
thousands of men and women to-day who
have been enabled to keep vigorously at
Paines celery compound.
Nervous affections are warning to busy
people.
At the earliest sign OF reduced nerve force,
inability to sleep, languor, or a gloomy habit
of mind, everyone should look Immediately
to the nutrition of their nervous system and
to the purity of their blood. Paine's celery
compound will attend to both Of these urgent
needs more thoroughly and more speedily
than anything else in the world. Paine's
celery compound is not to be confounded
with the common preparations, the sarsa-
parillas and nervines. Being discovery of
a man of science, Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
NJ. D., LII. D., of Dartmouth College, it has
the support of the best physicians; they pre-
scribe it universally; and the many sick
persons made well by its use proves that that
support is merited.
To the great majority of business men
vacation, to say nothing of three months Of
complete inactivity is out Of the question at
this season, even when their brains demand a
complete rest and their nerves ache and
threaten them with prostration. Now, there
are hundreds of business men and hard
worked professional men in this city in just
this condition What are they to do Those
who are tired out, run down" and debilitated
at this trying season will do well to read
some of the straightforward and convincing
statements from the men and women who
have been cured by Paines celery compound.
Nervous weakness vanishes before Paine's
celery compound as mist before the strong,
health-giving rays of the sun. Convince
yourself of the fact at once, if your health is
at all impaired.

Radziewicz Won.

The case of Isaac Levy, of New York,
against Charles Radziewicz, of town, was
arbitrated at Pottsville yesterday and re-
suited in a victory for Mr.. Radziewicz. Levy
sued to recover S73 for nine thousand paper
butter boxes which Radziewicz claimed he
never ordered. The arbitmtors gave an
award to Radziewicz and directed that Levy
pay the costs, which amounted to as much as
the claim. IL. W. Bartholomew, Esq, of
Pottsville, represented Levy and NJ. NJ.
Burke, Esq, of town, looked after Mr..
Radziewicz's interests, The case first came
up before Justice Benseman, of Yorkville,
who gave judgment for Levy, but when an
appeal was taken to court Judge Bechtel re-
versed the decision The suit just arbitrated
was then instituted before a Pottsville
Justice.

Rev. Zephaniah Meek, d. D., is a house
hold name all over the South. Since 1867 he
has owned and edited the Central Metho-
dist, the leading paper of the Methodist
Episcopal church in the South. He repre-

He was one of the Kentucky Commits

During his ministry in the South he has
built and dedicated five ehapels He writes
from Catlettsburg, KY, where his home is
as follows:
81 have used several bottles of Paine's
celery compound for nervous trouble, result
ing from overwork, and with immediate eff
feet, as well as permanent benefit. 1t is the
best nerve tonic that 1 have ever tried.
1t has also been used in my family with great
benefit"
Tired-out, half-sick men and women need
something more than mere rest. They need
a positive, unmstakable nerve food they
must have a reserve of nerve-force to draw
from, before their heads will cease to ache
and their nerves cease to tremble with
neuralgia.
1t is estimated that there are over ten
million nerve fibres in the body.
So long as these minute tissues are kept
fully nourished, one lives in blissful ig-
norance of any such thing as neuralgia,
headaches or even a nervous system, but let
one become rundown" and the nutrition OF
the body get low and every one of these
myriad fibIes becomes ''live wire" within
the flesh. Headaches, neuralgia rheuma-
tism, and other forms of nervousness and
debility result directly from famished ner-
vous system. Paine's celery compound is
able to correct this faulty condition. 1t
builds up the nervous system and sustalns It,
The brain at once feels the strengthening
