THE VERMONT NEWS.
Depew at Montpelier,
His Address Before the Vermont Sons
OF the American Revolution.

His Address Before the Vermont Sons
Of the American Revolution.
The largest crowd which has been seen
in Montpelier during the present session Of
the legislature gathered there Tuesday.
called together by the meeting of the Yer.
mont society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, and the address delivered bv
Chauncey M. Depew, who is the president
OF the Empire state society of that order.
AT $3.50 procession was formed in front
OF the state house and marched down State
street to the Golden Fleece" otherwise
known as the armory of the local militia
company Mr.. Depew, Gov. Grout, Lieut.
Gov. Fisk, the judges of the supreme
court, and many other officials were seen
in the procession. A crowd of 5000 peo-
pie filled the big audience room. Ex-Gov.
Dillingham; presided, and, after PRAYER had
been offered introduced Mr. Depew, whose
appearance was greeted with prolonged
applause. Mr.. Depew said that in no
state can a celebration which recalls the
Revolutionary history of our country be
held more appropriately than in Vermont.
Her history is unique. Her life began in
rebellion against arbitrary authority. Her
people were Injured to hardship in every
form. Her brave sons are set among the
heroes of those troublous times. About
the gigantic form of Ethan Allen gather
all the elements of chivalry and romance.
His story is the inspiration of youth, and
stirs the blood of age. He lives in our
imagination like William Tell or Winkel-
ried. He set the example of daring and
lofty courage. The history of Vermont
was traced through its several periods into
which the history of the country has been
divided, and in conclusion the brilliant
orator urged that we hold ourselves true
to the principles upon which our govern
ment was founded-the principles which
were enunciated and so bravely defended
by those leaders of the times, and under
which our country has grown to its great
and benefcient proportions.

Springfield RAILROAD Rumors.

The rumors that the Boston & Maine
railroad company had not fulfilled its agree
ment with the Springfeld Charlestown
electric railroad company and that the bust
ness men of Springfield were to send all
their freight via Gassets as a retaliatory
measure are without foundation. There
has been some feeling that the Boston &
Maine has not rendered sufficient assist
ance to the electric railroad company but
there was no agreement between the two
concerns and the Boston & Maine state
that because of the light business during
the summer and the uncertainty over cleo
tions, it was not deemed advisable to make
some improvements which have been de-
cided upon since McKinleys election. The
Boston & Maine have virtually given the
electric railroad 90 tons of steel rails, which
will be sufficient to complete thealine to
Charlestown. 1t is believed that from now
on there will be an era of good feeling and
cooperation between the two companies.

A Bennington Contractor Disappears,
Leaving Many CredItOrs.

The disappearance of Edgar F. Boyd of
Bennington on Tuesday night of last week
has been made the subject of an investi-
CATION into his affairs, which shows them
to be in bad state. Boyd was contrac-
tor and builder and was known to have
lost money on several of his recent con-
tracts, which had the effect of making him
respondent and, on Tuesday night, he
hired horse and carriage and drove to
Williamstown, where he boarded train.
Previous to his departure he disposed of
several mortgages, and converted into cash
as much of his property as possible.
1t is stated that Mr.. Boyd took with him
from $4,000 to $4,000, and that what prop
erty he may have left is so heavily mort
gagged that scarcely anything can be real
lied upon it. From $4,000 to $4,000 is
owing to Bennington people in sums OF
from So to $1,000, some of it being to men
that had worked for Boyd, and who can i'll
afford to lose the amounts. There is a
mortgage of $1,000 on some property in
Wilmington, upon which attachment pa
pers have been served.

and the latest is case that may prove to
be manslaughter, or murder. Carlos E.
Miller died Thursday as the result of in
iuries received in a row Monday. He ran
a cider mill with David Boardman in the

hue boys seized his horse. Miller struck
the horse with whip. The animal sprang
forward and Miller was thrown out. He
was taken home by Boardman.

mortem examination was performed. 1t is
claimed that Miller was struck with a club

Mrs Anna G. Stowe of South Weymouth,
Mass, In acknowledging receipt Of $4,000, for
value of policy on the life OF her husband, re
Gently deceased, writes State Agent James T.
Phelps as follows: II wish to acknowledge the
prompt settlement of the insurance under my
husbands policy 41,00l, and also to take this op-
portunity of expressing to the company my sin
cere appreciation Of the way In which have been
treated That any of my friends may understand
dition of affairs. premium was due on Mr..
Stowells policy April 80, 1895. This was not paid
and since his death we find that the company
sent a second notice on May Z, and a third notice
stating that the insurance had lapsed, but would
be reinstated IL premium was paid and health
certificate given. Later still a letter conveying
the same information was sent, all these papers
having been in Mr.. Stowell's possession. In
pocket of an office coat we found a check made
by MIR. Stowe for this premium and dated May
s. Mr.. Stowell's accident occurred June 25, and
he died June 2S BY the terms of the policy l
should have been entitled to $500, but am CRATE
full that the company, while recognizing that
there is no legal claim for more than this amount,
have still seen fit TO pay the face of the policy,
81 OOOn The generosity of the National Life in
paving the facevalue of the policy under the
above circumstances, is but in keeping with its
general policy Women should be sufficiently
alive to their own interests to see that their nus
bands pay the premiums on their policies when
the face value of policies unless all arrears have
been paid. Mrs. Stowell's words of appreciation
are nom too strong for the kind and generous
treatment accorded her by the National Life.

Who was the originator OF the phrase
"the unspeakabIe Turk" now so COM
monty employed, was a question with
which half q dozen bright young men
wrestled last evening Without succeeding
in answering it correctly. About every
one, from Shakespeare to Salisbury. who
has ever written asbook or played part
in England's game Of politics was mem
toned as the possible originator, but curl
ously enough the real inventor OF the
phrase was not named. Two or three
thought that to Gladstone belonged the
honor and In this they were nearer the
mark than the others though still consd-
erahly wide 90 II. The first time this pun
gent expression was heard was at meet
ing held in st. James Hall, London, in
1876. II was called for the purpose of dis.
cussing the Eastern question and at that
meeting there wae read letter from Car
lyle, in the course of which he wrote,
"The unspeakable Turk should be imme-
diately struck out OF the question, and
the country be left to honest European
guidance" Gladstone, who was present
at the meeting regarded the expression as
a particularly fitting one and employed 1t
In a subsequent speech which gave rise
to the impression that he was the origi-
nator of IL.
