Will Build a Schoolh0use.

The adjourned town meeting last Sat-
irday afternoon called out about so
voters and was presided over by Major
N. P. Bowman. Following is the report
presented by the special committee:
AFTER carefully considering the matter
your committee unanimously recommend
that new brick schoolhouse be built in
Summerville, suitable to the growing
wants OF that community, said building
to contain at least six rooms, have all
the modern improvements and cost from
$4,000 to $15.000."
"Your enlarged committee, appointed
two weeks ago to consider the question
of suitable location for a new school
house in Summerville, after careful inspec-
tion of building sites in that vicinity,
unanimously report that in their judg-
ment the site most eligible for this pur-
pose, from every consideration, is to be
found on or in the vicinity of the tract
of land known as the Randall lot. AS
the result OF investigation and confer.
ence we are convinced that all the land
required for this purpose may be secured
at a reasonable figure"
On motion of Rev. Edward T. Fair
banks it was voted to accept and adopt
this report. On motion of Charles Weeks
it was voted to build schoolhouse in
Summervile on the site recommended.
On motion OF Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks
it was voted to leave the matter in the
hands Of the school directors as provided
by law. The meeting then adjourned.

Accidents.

A startling accident occurred at Under
clyffe early Friday morning when Dan
King Of Gloucester, Mass. met an al
most instant death by falling from the
big flagstaff. 1t having been decided to
make some repairs on the structure, Mr..
King was engaged because he had
worked on masts all his life. Before as
cending the pole he was warned Of it's
condition and advised not to loosen the
guy ropes. When he loosened the guy
ropes the swaying of the top Of the pole
caused the collapse Of the whole struc-
ture and he tell about 65 feet to the
ground. Death was almost instantane-
Gus, caused by fracture of tie spine, and
medical aid arrived too late to help him.
The body was taken to the undertaking
rooms OF Hall & Stanley and Mr.. STAN
ley accompanied the remains to Glouces-
ter that night.
Mr.. King was As years old and leaves
vile and six children and a brother
who is missionary in the Seaman's
Home in Boston. He was an honest and
Industrious man, respected in the COM
munity by all, and member OF the
| Gloucester lodge OF the Red Men.
The flagstaff has long been one of the
landmarks OF St. Johnsbury and was
erected by the late Col. Franklin Fair
banks in memory of the spot having
been used as a drill ground by the boys
OF 1861. 1t was 100 feet high and one
| nf . ka tatlaet Qaoo0las 10 o,,I
1t was erected in 1872.
While Gordon Goss and Warren Holder
were doing some plumbing in Mrs. W. L.
Pearls house on Spring street last Fri
day, they met with serious accident.
They were mending joint and held a
gasoline stove in their hands to heat it.
In some manner they hit the valve
through which the air is forced into the
stove, and turned it. This let the air
back and it forced off the rubber tube,
and the gasoline flew into the face of
Mr. Goss and on the arms of Mr.. Holder,
where it caught fire and burned them so
badly that the skin came off. They were
taken to their homes at once and medical
aid summoned. They are doing well at
present, but it will be some time before
they will be able to attend to their duties.
Ernest Beck met with painful acci-
dent at the Fair Ground Friday. He
was sitting on the fence and in some way
fell, striking his lett arm and fractured it
in two places. He was taken to one OF
the dining halls near by aud physician
