BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
A Prosperous Savings Bank.

The biennial report of the inspector of
finance, of the state of Vermont, just made
TO the legislature, shows some interesting
points regarding the standing and business
of the Bellows Falls savings institution,
showing it to be not only strong finan-
cial institution, but doing large and prof
table business for its depositors.
1t is the duty of the inspector to thor
Oughly investigate the assets, investments
and business, as ell as to verify the sworn
reports of its officers. The report of the
condition of the tank is dated July l, and
shows among other things the
Amount Of deposits s1O61,479 II
An increase in the past year Of S76,47S.9S
Number OF depositors 1874
An increase IN the past year of 1855
Average amount of deposits 1882 S3
Depositors having over $500 each 137
DepostOrs resident in Vermont 22bl
Depositois not resident in Vermont g43
Surplus Of bank above all liabilities $496l5.2l
dividends paid depositors last year $Ss, 639. 80
Total approved assets of bank 81, l,O94 81
Compared with the other banking in
stitutions of this state, the showing is more
than creditable in every detail. There are
30 savings banks and trust companies in
Vermont. OF these but nine had as much
ready cash on hand, and deposited in the
bank to meet Withdrawals as this, having
on that date sac, 26s O5. This is an amount
considerably larger than last year, kept on
hand by the wise judgment of the trustees
in order to meet any emergency which
might arise from the unsettled condition of
finance in our country. There were only sew
en- of these institutions in the state that had
q larger amount of deposits, and eight that
bad larger number of depositors. A care
full examination of the reports of all these
state institutions show there are none more
worthy the confidence Of the people than
our own, and il is a matter Of qualification
to every citizen that it is so. The board of
trustees having the anagement and d.
rection of all its affairs are H. c. Lane, A.
N. Swain, j, II. Williams, Hugh Henry,
George o. Guild, Sidney Gage, L. NJ,
Read, S. A. Whipple and F. G. Pierce. Its
officers are the first three, respectively pres
dent, vice-president, and treasurer.

The Chicago papers show that the death OF

four hours after partaking OF a lunch Of broiled

from business since he started as clerk in the
store at Putney Is years ago. He was very
young man when he became one Of the proprie-
tors OF the store at Putney. and he wa only IS
when he invested his capital In the construction
OF the Vermont Valley railroad When he went
to Chicago in 1858 he again entered the railroad
business and was one OF the firm that construct

the Chicago and Alton system.
About the same time he became interested In
the projected Union stock yards and for several
years he a director Of the Union Stock Yards
and Transit company. He was active figure
in the construction work Of the great yards. Sim.

The NTystery Of a Skeleton.

Westminster has had an excitement Of its own
this week. While a son Of d. Jennison, who
occupies the farm owned by II. p Farr two miles
and ahaf south Of the village, was blowing In the
meadow Tuesday near the Vermont Wiley raj
road, the pillow point struck skull in the dead fur
row and examination revealed the existence of a
human skeleton there, buried two feet or more
below the surface. The appearances were that
the body had been buried in a grave too small for
1t and IL was doubled up 80 that the head rested
on or near the knees The seectmen and doctors
were summoned and a careful examination of the
surroundings made. All agreed that the body
hao been buried for many years. The bones were
buried again by the authorities so that they can
be produced II wanted. The following solution
Of the mystery has been suggested by West
minister resident:
nearly as the oldest inhabitants of Westminster
can remember, there was tradition that WON
an, who was an idiot, lived on what Is now the II.
z. Farr farm. This tradition, almost forgotten,
has been recalled by the finding Of this skeleton.
Skeletons are common enough, both in the closet
and under ground, all over New England. some
have been resurrected, but more have not. But
this particular one POSSESSES a peculiar interest
because of the tradition mentioned. DR.. Carmen
thinks 1t had been buried in the neignborhood Of
100 years and that Il is that OF woman well ad-
vanced in years-which tales with the tradition;
also that the skull appears, from the exceedingly
low forehead, to be that OF an idiot. Tradition
says that this idiot, who once lived on the farm,
mysteriously disappeared, and row comes a more
interesting part OF the story In the left side OF
the skull Just in front of the ear, discovered
a small round hole filled In with dirt. In remov.
ing the dirt the ploWman broke the edges OF the
bone. Otherwise the hole might afford material
for Interesting study, for the tradition In question
says that the ijiotic woman was badly used dur
ing her lifetime The doubled up position OF the
body indicating hasty or careless burial, is also
suggestive In this respect But even II foul play
TO be proven II could bring no one to trial or
punishment since no one now living Is old enough
TO even remember that such person as the idiot
ever lived. An investigation would, therefore, be
useless and II was better TO rebury the bones and
let them rest in peace.

An OId-Tims Conductor.

Many of the older residents of this town
remember Perley R. Downer, for many
years popular conductor on the Rutland
railroad, who died in San Francisco on
the morning of election day. He had been
for the last 20 years connected with the
railway mail service of the country and
lived in San Francisco. That morning he
had been in his usual health, visited the
election booth, cast his ballot, and while
on his way TO his home dropped dead from
heart disease. He was buried the follow
ing Sunday in the National cemetery at
Preside, CAL, by his Grand Army COM
rades of that city. Mr.. Downer was born
in this town in 1880 and his education was
secured in the schools of this village. At
25 he was a passenger conductor between
here and Burlington, which position he
resigned to enlist in the 18th Vermont
regiment, in which he served throughout
the war as quartermaster's sergeant. In
the past few years he has made frequent
visits here upon his many friends. He
was an uncle of Henry Bowtell of this
place.
