Text of the Finding.

Below is given the full text of the finding
OF the selectmen regarding the grading o.
Pine street for the electric road and the
awarding OF damages to the abutting prop
erty owners.
Believing that the public good and con-
venience OF individuals requires the lower.
ing of the grade of Pine street and Centre
street in Bellows Falls in Rockingham
Vermont, beginning at the point of inter.
section OF the south side of Burt Place witt
said Pine street southerly and easterly to
West street to the extent of not more
than - feet at the highest point OF the
present grade, we gave written notices to
the owners of dwelling houses and Other
buildings standing upon the line of said
streets where the proposed alteration
would be made, that we would be in session
at the town clerks office in said Rocking
ham on Saturday, the 14th day of October
1899 at A. NJ. when and where they might
be heard in relation to the proposed alter

notice we met the parties with their re.
spective counsel and after examining the
premises and having heard the parties il
relation to the proposed alteration of grade
and as to the damages resulting to said
abutting land owners, we are of opinion
that the public good and convenience o.
individuals requires the lowering OF the
grade of said streets between the point.

State Sunday School Convention.

The 31st annual convention of the Stse
Sunday school association was held in Brat.
tleboro last week and attended by over zoo
delegates. Strong addresses were made
by prominent speakers, among them beng
Dwight L. Moody, whose earliest Christian
work was in connection with Chicago
Sunday school.
The executive committee recommended
the employment of field worker as soon
as the contributions by the Sunday schools
in Vermont will warrant the expenditure,
and also recommended that D. M. Camp
of Newport be appointed member of the
international committee.
The sum OF $3.50 was raised at meet
ing Thursday to meet the past indebted
ness of the association and provide for the
immediate needs of the future pending the
regular employment of field secretary. A
blackboard with 100 squares outlined upon
it was brought to the attention of the audi
ence, and pledges asked for the cancella-
ton of these squares.
Officers for the ensuing year are as fol-
lows: President, L. W. Hawley OF Br.t-
tleboro secretary, G. L. Story of Milton !;
treasurer, F. S. Pea,e Of Burlington ;chair-
man OF executive committee. Rev. L. 0.

Congregational total Sunday school mem
bership, 21,025; Methodist total Sunday
school membership, 20,135; all others re-
porting, 12,418. Total, 62,1OO. This

the state.

His Neck Broken.

James Baldasaro, an Italian living in
North Walpole and employed at the coal
sheds by the Boston & Maine railroad was
found dead beneath bucket of coal about
4.3O o'clock Sunday morning. His work
was to fill the huge buckets ready for coal
ing the engines on the road. These buckets
are poised on trucks, and in some way one
of them after having been filled turned and
gave the Italian fatal blow, breaking bis
neck. 1t is thought the accident happened
late on the preceding evening. The de-
ceased leaves wife and two children. He
had lived in North Walpole five or six
months. The funeral was at the house at
2 P. M. Monday, Rev. FIR. O'Neil officiat-
ing, with burial at Drewsville.
One of the children was sick with scarlet
fever and the house had been quarantined.
On hearing the news of the death, several
of the dead mans relatives and friends
focked to the house. G. j. O'Neil, health
officer, was soon on the scene and declared
that all in the house must stay there and
those without must keep out, and stationed
two policemen at the house to enforce the
order. This created considerable commo-
ton for in two or three cases part of the
family was inside and part outside. At
evening, however, the sick child was moved
into one part of the house, and the dead
mans friends given free access to the other.

At the Grand.

David Belasco's famous play, 1.-The
Heart of Maryland" which is to be
presented at the Grand Thursday
night is one of the few new plays
now patent upon the English speak
ing stage that is natural, not exag-
gerated in the heroicism of its stlrc
tions, nor over-strained for the sake
OF effect In the narrations, nor over
strained for the sake of effect in the
narration of its story. Its theme is
woman's love and her struggle to
protect and shield from harm the
one to secure whose happiness she
devotes all the energiesto her natur-
is the animate motive and absorbent
interest Of it's action.
