Suicide ora. ]. BIOdgett.

This community was painfully shocked
on Thursday evening to hear of the tragic
death of A. j. Blodgett, who committed
suicide by hanging. Mr.. Blodgett, who
has boarded at Frank Kendalrs for some
time, left soon after breakfast for his home
fourth of mile away, which has been
closed most of the time since his wife's
death two years ago. Not returning that
night, search was made for him, and he
was found in dark chamber in the L. of
his house about 10 p. II. Judging from
appearances the deed was committed in
the forenoon. He has been suffering from
melancholia for some time, and it is
thought the deed was done in fit of tenn
porary insanity.
Mr.. Blodgett leaves two sons, Norman
of this place, and Ernest of New Haven,
Conn. The funeral was held at his home
on Sunday afternoon. Rev. F. D. Good
rich officiated, assisted by Rev. Mr.. West
gate. Members of the Grand Army of
the l. l.. Clarke post of Grafton, of which
he was member, were present and con-
Quoted the services of that order at the
close of the other service.
Mrs. Amanda Osgood, a sister of Mr..
Blodgett, and Ernest, his son, both of
New Haven, Conn, were present at his
funeral.

FItchburg Railroad Situation.

The Boston News Bureau says that a
prominent director of the Fitchburg Rail-
road, when asked concerning the reported
proposition made to the governor for the
sale of the States 100000 of common
stock, or for an exchange of the same into
preferred stock, said: "Although | have
seen the governor several times of late, he
has given no intimation or hint of any such
proposition, | can say with positiveness
that no proposition of any kind has been
received" This same director further adds
that there is no intention to take the Cen
trial Massachusetts road into its system;
that no suggestion of any such alliance has
come to the management from any source,
and if it did would not in all probability
receive favorable consideration. Neither
this director, nor others of the board who
have been seen, know anything whatever
about the motive back of the attempt to
break the Central Massachusetts, lease. No
proposition, it is said, has come to the Fitch
burg management from the Vanderbilt in
terests, or from any other interests, for the
control of the road, and there is no change
whatever in the management contemplated
The Vanderbilts, while owning a consider
able interest in the property, have made no
move whatever, so far as the management
is aware, to increase the same materially.
