Mrs. j. Z. Dewey.

Julia Tryon, wife Of John P. Dewey, died
In Inverness, Florida, February 81, 1899, of
Bright's disease. Funeral services were
held at her late home in Inverness, Thurs
day morning, after which her remains were
brought to her former home here, for burial,
accompanied by her daughter, Miss Cor
nelia. She was laid to rest in Green Mount
cemetery, after brief prayer by Rev. DR..
Norman Seaver, on Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Dewey was the daughter of Marvin
and Parthena dewey Tryon and was born
in Montpelier May %, 1881. Her education
was received in the public schools Of Mont
pelier, and at DR.. Worcester's Young La
dies Seminary, in Burlington. Feb. 20.
1855, she married John p. Dewey, and they
always resided in Montpelier until the fall
the benefit of Mr.. Dewey's health. Six
children were born to them, four Of whom,
with Mr.. Dewey, survive her. Mrs. Dewey
had never visited her old home until last
summer, when, her health being impaired,
she came back, accompanied by her young
est daughter, hoping to receive benefit from
change of air and scene.
The longing for old familiar faces and
scenes was gratifed. Her native air and
the warm greetings from many former
friends seemed to give her strength and
vigor, and she returned to her Southern
home with renewed health. She was sim
cere Christian, and from early years a de-
voted member Of the Congregational church
in Montpelier. Mrs. Dewey was known
best in her home life. She was devoted
wife and mother, and always had kindly
greeting and welcome for each incoming
neighbor and friend, and was the life Of her
home United to these qualities were
geniality, helpfulness. and kindness of
heart which won her the love OF many
friends and neighbors. So thoroughly were
her interests identified with her home 80
self.sacri6cing, 80 thoughtful of the COM
fort of each member Of the family-she was
home-maker in the best and truest sense.
"But we cannot think of her idle,
She must be q home maker still;
God giveth that work to the angels
Mho fttest the task fulfill
And somewhere yet in the hill tops
OF the country that hath no pain
She will watch in that beautiful doorway
To bid us a welcome again."

frighten Doherty. He says his rifle was
not loaded, and that he had not the slight
est intention OF shooting or of attempting to
use rope. Probably this Is true, but Sheriff
Graves proposes to make an example of
Blodgett, and will let the law take its
course in his case. He is now under arrest
charged with resisting an officer, and may
possibly get off with heavy fine. He may
also, be imprisoned at the discretion OF the
court. Sheriff Graves has twenty deputies
under him, and to protect them and himself
he could consistently take no other course.
A lively runaway took place on Sunday
when team owned by G. G. Downing and
driven by Charles s. Hubbard accompan-
led by visiting horse buyer got mixed up
at the head OF State street. In crossing the
car track the sleigh was overturned, spilling
both the occupants. Hubbard clung to the
reins and was dragged on his back till the
sleigh collided with the corner OF Willard
block, when he was forced to let go. The
horse started up East State street, after an
unsuccessful attempt to remove telephone
pole on the corner, and dashed into the
yard at the residence of II. A Hayden,
complete wreck, but the rest of the outfit
escaped with little damage done.
The RECORD is indebted to Henry X.
Field, General Agent at San Francisco for
the New England Mutual Life Insurance
Company, for ecent copy of the San Fran
CISCO EIuHtHeT containing a detailed ac-
count of the probably fatal illness that
came suddenly February II to Leander G.
Cole of Oakland, Cal, former resident of
Montpelier. Mr.. Cole, who is one of the
wealthiest residents Of Oakland, was strick-
en- with paralysis in his own door yard,
about nine o'clock in the evening. He was
unable to summon assistance, and was
obliged to remain on the ground all night
in heavy fog. Mr.. Cole is we'll advanced
in years, and the shock to his nervous sys-
tenn caused by the all night exposure,
coupled with the effects Of the stroke rem.
ders his recovery extremely doubtful. Mr..
Cole lived up Worcester branch during the
early years Of his life, and will be we'll re-
membered by many Of the older inhabitants
OF Montpelier.

How to Dres, FashiOnably.

Every woman wishes to be we'll dressed.
Her age is no bar to this desire. Her form
does not prohibit this commendable am
bition. AS an aid to the contamination OF
this wish, the fashion plates and stories in
the Boston Sunday Herald have neither a
peer in style nor an equal in practicability
The active principle upon which these
unique fashions are designed is becoming
ness. They range from the suit or gown
suited to the slight looming out" girl to
the mstron, whose embonpoint tells the
story of advancing years. They are de-
signed to adorn living figures, not the mani
mate models of the French fashion plate.
In them you see living, moving people who
are habted in the latest wrinkles Of Dame
Fashions decree. We are told that so
simple are these gowns, that any expert
enced dressmaker can construct them,
maintaining all the details Of the original
designs. The series now appearing in the
Boston Sunday Herald is ahead Of all the
fason papers, and will give readers an op-
portunity of making up their spring and
summer dresses and underwear before the
seasons rush which follows the appearance
of the spring fashions in the shops. You
can see these fashion pictures only in the
Boston Sunday Herald.

Injunction Granted in the Electric Rail
way Cases.

Richard A. Hoar, attorney for the Barre
and Montpelier Traction and Power Com
pany. filed this morning in the office of
Judge Smile, an injunction restraining e.
M. Harvey, W. A. Shay, M. w. Wheelock
and V. l.. Slsyton from further proceedings
against the electric railroad company, dur
ing the tendency of the injunction, or until
further orders from the court.
The injunction was signed last Monday
by Judge II. Il. Start and is returnable be-
fore Judge Thompson at the March term Of
Washington county court The accompa-
nying bond is signed by President Kennedy
and all the directors of the electric railroad
The bond was approved this morning and
wrts have been served to-day on Messrs.
Harvey, Shay, Wheelock and Slsyton.
The conditions of the bond are that the
Barre and Montpelier Traction and Power
Company shall pay Messrs. Harvey, Shay,
Wheelock and Slayton, their heirs, assignees
or representatives, all damages they may
the injunction. IL the court shall eventually
decide that the complainants were not
equitably entitled thereto. In case such
shall be the final judgment OF the court, the
Injunction shall be null and void otherwise
OF full force and effect.
The grounds ON which Judge Start grant
ed the Injunction are: The multiplicity of
suits, vexa,ious legislation, to ascertain
whether the suits are brought in good faith
whether the parties are willing to estab-
lish legal status before a competent tri-
bunal; whether they are to contest the
right OF appeal; because of the expense to
the railroad company OF conducting six
suits, and because, by bringing the matter
direct before the county court in this way
the result will be one bill of costs, one case
and one Judgment.

What the Poet Moore Thought iOf
Doctors.
Thomas Moore wittiest of poets, wrote:
"I find the doctors and the sages
Have differed in all climes and ages,
And two in fifty scarce agree"


Thomas Moore, wittiest of poets, wrote:
"I find the doctors and the sages
Have differed In all climes and ages,
And two in fifty scarce agree"
Doctors do disagree about your disease,
one physician telling you one thing and one
another. but the reason for this is plain. 1t
is because you consult ordinary practitiOn-
ers, whose time is spent among their fever
patients. Such physicians have no expert
ence in chronic cases like yours. II you
wish to learn exactly what your complai 1T
Is, by all means consult a skilled specialist,
physician who makes the treatment of
nervous, chronic and lingering diseases
special life work, and who therefore knows
from vast experience just what your trouble
Is and precisely how to cure it. Why not,
for instance, consult DR.. Greene OF "a Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass, about your case2
You can do 80 without charge or cost
either by calling or writing to him, for he
gives consultation and advice absolutely
free. He makes this class of disease a spe-
cialty, has seen and cured thousands Of
cases like yours, in fact he has the largest
practice and greatest success in curing dis
eases of any physician in the world. His
medicines also differ from those used by
other doctors, for he uses no poisonous
drugs, but cures his patients with harmless
vegetable medicines, which, because they
act in harmony with the laws of life, are
always curative and Strengthening. One OF
his medical discoveries, DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy, is used
throughout the civilized world and he has
discovered no less wonderful cures for all
forms and conditions of disease. Why not
consult him at once2 II you cannot call,
write him all about your complaints freely
fully aud in perfect confidence. II will cost
cost you nothing to learn exactly what ails
you, aud his counsel and advice are sure to
do you good.

Mad River Valley Railway.

To the Editor:-How about the electric
railroad from Montpelier TO Warren? Last
fall party of leading citizens OF Montpelier
made trip through our valley and inter-
ested us in the electric railroad scheme.
They said that II the towns in the valley
would do thus and so, raise so much money,
Montpelier would put in forty or fifty thous-
aud and we were sure to have = road.
Now the several towns up and down this
rich and beautiful valley have done all that
was askel OF them. They have voted to
bond in the interest of this proposed rail-
road, but how about Montpelier? Have its
citizens done as was represented to us they
would do? oh no; or, at least, we never
have heard that they have even tried to full
fill their promises. Let us hear from Mont

St. Petersburg, Aug 3.-The Of
fetal Messenger today publishes a gov
eminent "communIque" reviewing the
result of the Hague peace conference.
After referring to the sympathetic re-
ception the powers gave the "magnani-
nous appeal for peace" proceeds:
The results Of the conference have
fully come up to the expectations of the
governments. 1t has been found nee
essary for the conference to postpone
a definite settlement of the complicated
question of the suspension of arma-
ments until fully elucidated by the diff
ferent government. Nevertheless, the
tightening of military burdens Is already
admitted by urgently desirable for all
nations.
On the other hand, the labors of the
conference will doubtless exercise in
nuence in regulating the customs Of
war and stopping cruelties. The vari-
Gus states have agreed to use all their
resources in favor of the maintenance
of peace and the abolition Of war. Il
is now an established fact that media
ton, which hitherto depended on the
good will of the states interested, can
hence forward be offered by third
power on its own initiative
The "communique" concludes;
without impairing the sovereign
rights of the individual states. the re-
suits afford besis for international
peace. The necessity for a solution of
the cars proposals is admitted by all
the powers and the march of events
will indicate the means 70 be employed
in securing the welfare OF mankind and
the full attainment of tao objects in
view"

CAPTURED FOR BRIEF READl ING.

Marquette, Mich, Aug. > The
press mill in the black powder works
of the Lake superior powder plant,
three miles from town, blew up at noon
today. Andrew Johnson, who was
working in the building, was seriously
and perhaps fatally burned. He was re-
moved to St Luke's hospital. The
buildings are all SIN all and far removed
from one another. 50 the press mill
building was the only one damaged.
That was utterly destroyed, but the prol
erty loss is light. No theory has been
advanced for the explosion, which occur
ed at the least likely place of the entire
works. Johnson was the only man
working IN or about the building
