Soldiers Return.

Boston, Sept. 6.-One hundred and
thirteen battle worn, camp sick spiritless
soldiers who only three months ago
left Massachusetts to fight for their
country, arrived at this city early this
morning and are distributed among the
hospitals.
They survived the Spanish bullets
and fever in the camp at Santiago, the
horrors of the trip north IN the Alleg-
haney and the misery of detention at
Camp Montauk ; yet still when through
the munificcnce of the Mass. Volunteer
aid association they attempted to reach
the Bay State last night they were fore
ed to undergo another hardship in tho
wreck of the steamer Pearson on Point
Judith and a rough hard voyage across
Naragansett Bay on open lighters re-
sides long railroad ride to Boston.
That none succumbed is not only re-
markable but miraculous. They ar
rived at half past five. The hospital
corps and ambulances were ready and
they were transferred to different hospi-
tails Fifty were unable to walk.

ton so with a self reliance and energy
that was remarkable he set to work to
help himself to every opportunity that
lay before him.
lie entered Goddard Seminary in '8S
and worked his way through until he
graduated in the tlass of 81, n class
mate Of Harry Lalnson. While in school
he was a Conscientious student, star
athlete and the firsteditor of the Goddard
Record, he being she principal one in
terested in starting the paper.
The mex fall hsentered Tufts College
where he at oncehecame widely known
as an athlete and respected by the fac
ulty Of the institution as an earnest ad-
herent to his college duties. He held
the record for thepstrongest college man
in America during his first year and
was an end rush ia the foot ball team
during his whole course.
His strength offcharacter and deter
mination allowed not one of his many
disappointment pr other obstacles to
stand in the wayAof his success. He
was highly esteemed member of the
Zeta Psi fraternity and had the perfect
respect of every man in College. lie
graduated in the tlass of '95 and imme-
diately obtained \ position as special
correspondent on the staff of the Boston
Globe, where his faithful work was
highly appreciated by his employers
In the fall of '97 he accepted posi-
ton as teacher of English and elocu,ion
at Goddard Seminary. He took this
position in order that he might be able
to assist his younger brother TO reap the
same benefit of education that he him
self had received. Here as elsw here,
his faithfulness to duty made him ex-
tremely popular with teachers and stu
dents alike, so that when the war broke
out and he made known his determina-
ton to offer his services to his country
it was with much sadness that he was
hidden farewell by his pupils and fellow
teachers.
No voice of restraint affected him ;
the spirit of his brave father was with
him and he answered the call of duty.
Anxious lest he should not be sent to
the front he tried 10 enlist in the navy
but there was no opportunity so he con
tented himself in the hope that the 1st
Vermont regiment would be called to
Cuba and he enlisted rs volunteer in
Company Z.
The hardships of camp life suited bis
taste and he wrote often to his friends al
home telling how much he enjoyed his
situation. He took the best of care Of
his health and his sickness was a great
surprise to his comrades.
Too much cannot be said in his praise
He was hero tries. and true and the
heartfelt sympAlht Of an admiring
people goes o,s sefs~ .bereayed sisters
and brothers who are left to mourn the
loss of beloved and loving brother.
The immediate relatives living are
his two sisters, Mrs. John w. Gordon
and Mrs. William Durkee and two
Younger brothers Thomas and Harry.
The funeral will be held from the
Universalist church Thursday afternoon
at l 80. The Rev. Effie X. M. Jones
will otliciate The interment will be ir

POSTOFFICE ENTERED.
Bl-RGLARS ENTERED WILLIAMSTOWN
POSTOFFlCE LAST EVENING.

The postofTice at Williamstown was
entered by burglars last evening but no
money was taken. Entrance was made
into the postofiice through the rear win
dow by taking out pane OF glass II x
20.
When Postmaster Edison. walked into
the office, he found papers all over the
floor and upon investigation he found
that the office had been entered. 1t Is
the custom of the postmaster to leave
the safe unlocked evory night when go
ing home and to take all money with
him as it was known there were gang
of burglars operating in the state.
There is evidence that before inc
glass was taken out, an effort was made
to pry the window up. Arthur SIM
mons, a carpenter, who is working on
house in that vicinity had his tool chest
broken into and it is supposed they
used his tools on the window.
After \ thorough investigation by the
postmaster it was found that 25 cents IN
change had been taken from a drawer
in J. X. Lynde's store, which belonged
to Mr.. Lynde's son. There was no evil
dcnce that any mail or papers had been
taken but their sole object seemed to be
for money. J.K. Lynde's store is in
the front part OF the building but moth
ing was disturbed there. The burglars
left no tools behind them.
Mr.. Edison stated this morning that ne
thought it was an organized gang OF
professionals who are operating in the
state. -,
There is no clue whatever to tho
burglars. Will Lougee' who lives Jus
north of Williamstown, reported 'h'
morning that about l2 O'Clock last eve
ming he heard team pass over tht
bridge near his house at rapid rate
1t is supposed they went in the direction
of Montpelier.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Stone Train from the Hill
Comes Near Going off
the Trestle.

As the stone train from the mountain
drawn by the Mountain King under en-
gineer McKugo was nearing the trestle
by the trotting park about e o'clock last
evening the rear trucks of the forward
car jumped the track. The heavy train
of eight loaded cars was running down
a steep grade with brakes all set and
despite all efforts of the engineer and
brakemen ran about thirty rails length
before it could be stopped. 1t was
finally halted however, just before
striking the trestle. The car jumped
the track between the frog and the
switch that leads to Mackie Hussey "
Cos shed and from there to where the
train finally stopped the ties are badly
splntered and the bolts and hshpla'es
are broken a great deal of the way.
1t is probable that the accident was
caused by u spreading OF the rails and
all who have visited the scene OF the
wreck say that it was Il very narrow
escape.
If the long fill had not been made on
the south end of the trestle the Who'll
train would have gone over the empahk-
ment AS it was. Had the train not been
stopped just as it was serious loss of
life and property would have probably
resulted. AS ii is no one was hurt, and
although three cars were partly off the
track when the train stopped the only
damage to rolling stock was to the rear
trucks of the forward car which can
probably be repaired for fifteen dollars
Just before the train stopped the
coupling link connecting the first and
second cars broke and the rear end OF
the forward one lurrhed nearly four feet
sideways but when it was stopped abe u
thirty feet father on the trucks were only
about two feet from the rail and burrleC
to the axel in the sand. Jacks were
brought from Montpelier and gang OF
men assisted by the Mountain King an1
the Boulder succeeded in landing al
the cars safely in the yard about 1t
o'clock last night with the exception O
the one on which the truck were dam
aged which was brought down thl:
morning. A gang of men is at wort
repairing the track and traffic will shortl.
be resumed.

He'll tent no more under Georgia pines
Nor march again to the battle lines,
Sad are the words his comrades will hear
As they stand around his lowly bier.
Comrades are weeping again to-day,
Thinning ranks TO this great foe give way
For Death claims another lad in blue
And Dunham has heard his last tattoo.
For humanity his life he gave;
lie will sleep with hundreds of the brave.
These defenders of our old glory
Well neer forget in song and story.
No braver lad went to field of strife
Than he who for the flag gave his life.
Mans one great foe he could never slay,
Deaths march orders he had to obey.
Sound " taps" comrades, for the terminate
brave,
Place natures sweet garlands o'er his grave
Dupham to the land was ever true,
Sweetly he'll rest in uniform OF blue.
Well lay this boy in his last low bed,
With all our loyal and gallant dead,
With all this great country's wishes blest
Will our brave Dunham be laid to rest.

"Will Dunham is dead, These were
the mournful words which bore to the
people of Barre last evening the sad
news that another hero had sacrificed all
in his power, even to life itself, to de-
fend the honor Of his country. he
passed away at 9:35 last night at the
homo of his sister, Mrs. Will Durkee,
on Clark street. The cause of his death
was a relapse from malarial dysentery
contracted at Camp Thomas.
He was taken sick the day before the
regiment left Chickamauga but he
would not give up and without any
complaint remaindd in the ranks as
long as he could stand. The morning
they broke camp, however, he found
that it was an utter impossibility for
him to take the nine mile march and so
was given the privilege of riding on a
baggage wagon.
lis Journey on the train appeared to
have a bad effect and before he reached
Vermont he was very sick. They reach.
ed Camp Olympia on Sunday night and
the next morning he was taken to the
hospital. Tuesday he was brought
home but the dread disease was upoi
him and his system was SO flllcd WIN
the terrible poison that no power coul'
save him, and although his strong ma
,urc sought 10 repel the attack, hi
struggle was of no avail for he wa
battling with all opponent who know
no defeat, A..
His going out was so sudden tina
there was not time to notify any OF hi
relatives outside of those in the hous'
and those present at tho bedside whel
h. breathed his last were his sister Mrs
William Durkee and MIR. Durkee.
The astounding news OF his death VII
bring sorrow to many hearts lhrougnou

and everywhere respected.

left Vermont that Dunham would D
