The story Told by wealthy and EC-
centric Bachelor OF stowe---Money
was Hidden In a Barn.
Gould Camp, an eccentric bachelor of
Stowe has been robbed of $500 in gold
| 5000 in silver and $4,000 in government
bonds, and no trace of the thief has been
found. Although the theft was discovered
Friday it was not made public until Mon
day, as those interested wished to investi-
gate privately as much as possible. Canp
is one of Stoves best known characters
and confirmed miser At the death of
his parents he came into possession of
large fortune. 1t was deemed advisable to
have a guardian take charge of the bulk of
his money and for many years the late p
X. Gleed OF Morrisville served in that ca
pacity; but on his death o. E Luce, town
treasurer of Stowe, and a very reliable
business man, was chosen as his guardian.
For several years Mr.. Luce knew that
Camp had some money in his own hands
and he often asked him about it. Camp
became frightened at his questioning and
so hid what money he had in an old trunk
in one of the unused stables of his barn, al.
though no one but himself knew of the
hiding place. Mr. Camp first discovered
his loss Friday afternoon and Immediately
informed George Norway, who carried on
his farm. Camp says he saw the money
last on Oct 6, but thinks it was taken on
Sunday, Oct. II, when the door to the
barn was found open.
Mr. Camp claims that he had kept the
box in the barn seven years and that few |
weeks ago party was given to him, when |
there were about 800 guests present. On |
this occasion a horse was hitched in the |
stall which Mr.. Camp claims contained his
money box.

from the Waterbury Record
When DR.. F. W. Page, superintendent
OF the Waterbury state asylum, said about
six weeks ago, this is the last male attend
ant shall discharge for abusing patients,
without the guilty one being arrested, he
meant business.
81. A. Gillette was the first to be caught
in the trap, and received just what he de-
served. 1t was about o'clock Friday
morning, when Supervisor j. M. Towns
end looked out his Office door and caught
FL. A. Gillette in the act of dragging Pedro
Frenchinie, patient, by the foot. Every
time the patient would try to get on his
feet the attendant would give him a jerk,
which resulted in whacking his head on
the hard wood floor. This was more than
the genial supervisor could stand. The
case was reported to DR.. Page but did not
stop here, complaint was made to Law
yer Morse, and papers were soon in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff G. G. Graves for
his arrest. he was arrested and arraigned
before Justice J. A. Burleigh in the after
noon and fined IS and costs, amounting to
$10.51.
Gillette was discharged from the institu-
tion as was Howard Sargent, an attendant
who stood and watched Gillette handle the
patient so unhumanly.

Lynn, Mass, Saturday evening, when the
store of A. F. Bartlett, containing II peo-
pie, was entered by three masked men who
compelled the occupants to deliver their
money, and valuables. The operation
lasted for about five minutes, one of the
robbers searching for money while the
other two held the clerks and customers at
bay. None of the victims made resistance
and the robbers were given plenty of time
to escape before those in the store recovered
sufficiently to warn the police. 1.-The robbers
have not yet been captured. Samuel
Perkins, Vermont farmer, was assaulted
in Lynn Monday night by three men who
demanded his money. Perkins, however,
was very muscular and not easily fright
ened, and succeeded in driving away his
assailants after giving them a few hard
punches in various parts of their anatomy.
Perkins had upwards of $500 on bis person
at the time, but did not think it worth
while to notify the police of the affair.
Several daring robberies have been re-
ported from different parts of Lynn within
a few days.

Starvation is making itself felt in Havana.
According to DIR. w. N. Drummer, inspec-
tor of the United States Marine Hospital
Service at that port, which appeared Mon
day, it is beginning to figure in the NOR
tality reports as a cause of death. The
place is suffering from the mephitic odors
of decaying dead bodies, exhumed from
burying grounds to make room for newer
arrivals. Under date of Oct 16, DR.. Brun-
ner wrote: "The death rate is assuming
alarming proportions in this city, and the
deaths from intestinal disorders, due to
insufficient food, among the poorer classes,
amounting to about two-fifths of the total
deaths. In summing up the conditions
here, would say that this city is in bad
sanitary condition, even for Havana; the
death rate is enormous, and it cannot but
increase, and the situation there needs
close watching in its every detail"

1t. He was more or less successful how
ever, until the spring of 1895, when the
assessors caught him mapping in swearing
of his property on shadowy debts. He
was indicted for perjury, and was tried
and convicted last spring, but was admit
ted to bail pending the result of his appeal
to supreme court. This fall he was again
indicted for perjury, the alleged crime be-
ing in relation to his testimony in his trial

arrested Monday and brought into court
where his bail was fixed at $500. T. J..
