GOOD ROADS FOR VERGENNES.
\ Stome-Crushing Plant Put in at That
Enterprising Village.

\ stone Crushing plant Put in at That
Enterprising village.
The company now erecting the stone
crushing plant on the west side of the
river will use the Farrell crusher, capac-
ity 100 tons per day, weight of machine
lG200 pounds. Four sizes of stone will
be furnished, D in, ID in, in, and the
stone dust, which is extensively used for
private roads and sidewalks. Bins will
be erected capable of storing $50 tons
different Sizes, from which wagons may
be loaded by driving underneath the
bins, opening chute which will deposit
the stone directly into the wagons, thus
greatly lessening time and expense in
handling. The stone to be used is the
hardest quality of lime stone, and is the
best road material to be had, with the
exception of trap rock, which always
commands high price because of its
scarcity. Vergennes should congratulate
itself upon being able to obtain the best
possible road MATERIAL always ready for
delivery and located in the very centre
Of the city, where the cost of hauling
will be very small. The company in
forms us that the stone will be offered to
the city for the smallest possible cost,
thereby putting within our reach the best
of roads, which above all things makes
city or village attractive. If Nergennes
will cover all her roads with stone, the
cost will be returned to her many times
over by the trade it will draw from neigh
boring towns which now goes elsewhere.
Good roads means increase in value of
property and Improvement in all lines of
business, and when Vergennes and vicin-
ity have established good stone roads
that cannot be affected by the bad
weather, the ever-recurring dull seasons
of spring and fall will surely be things
of thp mast -VprpPnupg Citizen.

evident to the tiremen that they were
face to face with great disaster, and
general alarm was sent out. Then
from all the fire stations, even those
five miles from the scene, engines at
once hurried to the spot, and the po-
lice gathered in great force.

SHARKEY AND GODDARD.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 10
Tom Sharkey has won another ques-
tionable battle, his victim this time
being Joe Goddard. The fight, which
was scheduled for twenty rounds, ter
minated in the sixth, when Sharkey,
after landing a stiff right on God
dard's jaw, rushed at. HIM and then
knocked him to the floor, Utterly by
force of impact. Goddard's head hit
the canvas with an awful smash
which dazed him. He arose at the end
of three seconds and staggered to the
ropes. Referee McArthur meanwhile
held the excited sailor back. Amid the
greatest of confusion Macarthur then
awarded the fight to Sharkey. The
decision was just. but Sharkey's VIC
tory was far from creditable, it be-
ing the popular opinion that Goddard
was hurt more by his collision with
the floor than from Sharkey's blows,
which were at all times wild and mis-
erably directed. Popular confidence
in the genuineness of the projected
fight was so slight that a mere hand
full of spectators paid admission to
the Mechanics Pavilion last night.
On the main floor of the pavilion the
ushers and policemen almost outnum-
bered the few isolated occupants of
the reserved seats and boxes.

Easter FaE.cies.

Nothing seems quite S. in keeping with
the spirit of Easter as flowers, and as a
gift they possess another advantage, that
OF being as simple or as elaborate as one
pleases. AS to the matter of fashion,
cut flowers are no longer so popular for
this purpose They are largely supplant-
ed by growing plants which will live
through the Easter season. The jardiniere
has been popular, but the very latest
fancy is a handsome wicker basket filled
with some growing flower. On the handle
delicate vine is twined and it is finished
with a bow of grenadine ribbon to match
the shade of flower
The Cape jasmine, or gardenia, is a fad
at present, but the rose is always popular
particularly the American Beauty. Just
now pink roses are preferred to all others,
and the florists show several exquisite
varieties, almost but not quite rivalling
this prime favorite.
Carnations are also quite fashionable,
but any of the spring flowers are il
equally good taste, and even preferred, as
belonging peculiarly to the season, and
nothing could be made the messenger of
brighter greeting than basket of grow
ing azaleas, jonquils, daffodils, hyacinths,
or lilacs. [Harper's Bazaar.

issue between representatives of the two

from this the resolution was in the nature
of criticism of Secretary Gage, and de-
clared illegal his recent order relative to
goods imported after April l, when, ac-
cording to the retroactive clause of the
pending Dingley bill, the new tariff rates
are to apply. Mr. Morrill's motion pre-
