Sunday night, saws the Rutland Her.
aid Of Tuesday. Mr.. Mayo gives an
experience of getting lost in the for
ests. He, in company with his two
brothers, went to Bridgewater Sat
urday, and made the ascent of the
mountain from the east side. Yes.
terday morning Mr.. Mayo's two
brothers returned the way they made
the ascent, while he attempted to
strike the Woodstock stage road, and
catch the stage for Rutland. Mr..
Mayo had not been long in the forest
when he became so bewildered that
he could not tell east from west.
The more he wandered the more
mixed up he became, until lie finally
decided to follow small brook.
During his rambles Mr.. Mayo dis
covered two fine bucks. Late Ill the
afternoon, when nearly ready to
drop from exhaustion, the traveller
came out Of the woods in sight of
Senator Proctor's club house on Pico
pond. The distance between that
point and the peak is about four
miles, but Mr.. Mayo had travelled
three times that distance by his cir
cuitous course. From the club
house MIR. Mayo walked to this city
and took the sleeper for Bellows
Falls.

Driven Mad by Sickness and Heat.

Mrs. Walter Goldec!i, Il weaver in
the Hartford Woollen Mills, was
seen in the river Wednesday after
noon by men working near, who
heard her scream. They rescued
her from watery grave and after
some hard work brought her out of
an UNCONSCIOUS state. After remov-
ing her to her home Dr.. Goss was
called, who administered an enletlc.
1t is thought by her many friends
that her mind became unbalanced
from sickness and the heat of the
day and unconscious of what she
was doing went into the river to end
her life.

BATHROOM APPLIANCES.
The great improvement made in
this line of goods during the past
two years has made Gas Stoves for
summer use supersede coal oil or
gasoline stoves wherever gas can be
used.
The safety and economy of their
use is apparent, there being no
smell, no SCOT, smoke or explosives.
For cooking they excel all kinds
of summer stoves, having uniform
ity of heat that cannot be obtained
from oil or gasoline The degree of
heat can be controlled without
trouble, and the stove left to do its
work with perfect safety.
These stoves can be seen at the
store of E. F. WARDwELL, who will
take orders to furnish any kind not
in stock, which can be supplied on
few days notice.

1t Is thought that the adjournment will
last but a few days, and that matters
within that time can he Strengthened
out in q way that will make the losses as
easy als possible to bear. All those Pres
ent at the meeting last evening felt thnt
should the Exchange open as usual this
morning the bears would make slaugh-
ter!ng of values which would cause a
c;est and N a large measure unneces-
sary loss. They believe that tine closing
ST pae Exchange ard the prevention OF
the making or speculative quotations for
securities would enable the brokers hav-
ing open trades to close them, and the
SITUATION could be llq,i.daited In large
measure without the sharp decline thai
would surely follow trading and an open
market.
1t Is not at present possible to make
any estimate of Liow large the figure
Is or What the ram!fcations may be. The
Moores have unQues..ona bly, purchased
an enormous llhe OF both New York Bis
cut. and Diamond Match stock. The
high price at which Diamond Match ha.
been selling make the sum involved in
handling it extremely large. The capi-
tai stock OF the Diamond Match Compa-
ny ia sll 100000 and the New York Bis
cu1t Company, S9.00o,00e, and Il Is esti-
mated that the Nfoores have purchased
half the stock OF the Diamond Match
Company and their purchases of New
i uH o!scuii stock perhaps bears ns
l2rSe proportion TO the total.

James II. Moore. who has been the mme-
d!ate active manager OF the speculative
campaign, Is IN Chicago. but last night
