The bodies of Senator and Mrs. Justin
S. Morrill,, which have rested in the receiv-
ing tomb at Montpelier since they were
brought from Washington last January,
will be brought to STAFFORD next week, to
be placed in the Morrill, mausoeum, now
nearly completed. There has been a long
delay, caused by the inability of the con-
tractors to get the enormous capstone of
the mausoleum from Sharon to STAFFORD
last fall because of soft roads. The cap
stone is now being put in place.
L. d. Russell, foreman at Fonda's lime
kiln at Swanton Junction, met with seri-
Gus and probably fatal accident Que morn.
ing last week Russell and two companions
were returning from the Burlington cele-
bration on the special, about 2 o'clock.
They undertook to leave the train as it
slowed down for the dry bridge, in course
of repair, south of the station. Misjudg-
ing the speed of the train, Russell and one
of his friends went down the opening
among the timbers of the bridge, distance
of II feet, both being severely injured.
Russell being the greatest sufferer He
was found wedged in among the timbers
and it was with difficulty that he was got
ten out It was some time before he gain
ed consciousness. The third member OF
the party did not hit the bridge but was
badly bruised on the bank.

TAFT of Burlington in the Field.
from the Northfield Newsl

1t is hardly in the nature of a surprise to
learn that the Hon. Elihu B. Taft of Bur-
lington is to be candidate for lieutenant
governor In the campaign of '92, Mr..
Taft made a canvass for the position,
against Hon. F. S. Stranahan and succeed
ed in scoring 100 votes out of about 600.
This has kept Mr.. Tafts political ambi-
ton warm in all these years and now we
shall hear from the Burlington statesman
once more.

Tests with High ExpIo-
sIves.

Remarkable tests of high explosive
shells were made Tuesday at the army
proving grounds at Sandy Hook. For the
first time in the history of ordnance trials
a great mass of explosive gelatine, one of
the most destructive compounds chemistry
has produced, far more powerful than the
most powerful dynamite, was successfully
fired from a service seacoast rifle under or
binary service conditions. A charge of
$50 pounds of ordinary brown powder
was used in firing the gelatine. Ord
nance experts had seen small charges of
high explosives fired from big guns with
out exploding, but never before had a
shell carrying 113 pounds of explosive
gelatlne, as did the Isham shell at Sandy
Hook yesterday, been fired from a gun with
gun powder as thepropelling explosive.
One hundred and thirteen pounds of ex-
plosive gelatine decorating in the hull of
the most formidable battleship afoat
would send her to the bottom of the sea,
and no one would be left to tell the story.

The latest new weapon of war is the
Fitzgerald machine battery gun. 1t can
fire at the rate of eight shots per second,
and, under any test, however severe and
prolonged, of rapid, continuous fire, it alb
rogates the fierce heat which is generated
usually by sustained rapid fire. The Adj
miralty and Horse Guards Gazette pro-
nounces 1t success, and declares that at
the end of over 500 rounds the barrels
were quite cool. However rapid the ac-
ton of the mechanism of the gun, one tier
of barrels is always loaded. The weight
is 100 pounds.

Trying to smuggle Cinnamon.

Chinese inspectors who are stationed at
Richford are required to exercise special
diligence just at present to keep out Chi
nese immigrants. This is owing to low inn
migrant rates from Vancouver TO Montreal,
and the fact that syndicates who handle
the importation of Chinese are sending the
Celestials as far East as possible in order
to favor the chances of rushing them over
the border during the heavy summer travel.
Many of the Cinnamon walk over the state
line, and endeavor to get into hiding be-
fore the inspectors learn of their where
abouts, but the number of successful ones
is not thought to be large.

Margaret Marlborough, 90, and Martha
Brinkham, 21, escaped early one morn
ing last week from the women's reforma-
tory at Hudson, n. Y. The Marlborough
girls home is in North Walpole. Three
years ago she stole valuables from a
wealthy woman by whom she was employ
ed in New York city. Several months
later she was captured in Bauniston, Mass.
largely through the assistance of Chief of
Police Thompson of Bellows Falls.
The two girls not only gained their lib
erty at Hudson but broke open a safe and
stole $3.50 and carried off $500 worth of
the superintendent fine clothes. They
had been employed as maids in the apart
ments of Mrs. Abbott, the superintendent
and Mrs. Roy, the head supervisor. At
night the girls, like the other prisoners
were locked in their cells, which are small
rooms with wooden doors and big strong
locks.
Margaret and Martha must have careful
ly studied the conduct of affairs in the in
stitution. When the three night watch
men were elsewhere in the building Mar
garet broke open the door of her cell with
IA small steel bar she had somehow pro-
cured Then from the outside she broke
Martha IS lock next door
TiptOeing along the dark corridors they
went to the office and opened small pri-
vate safe from which they took $3.50. Per-
haps they knew the combination-there are
but few scratches on the safe door.
They took off their prison uniforms and
dressed themselves in fashionable clothes,
and bundled up other clothes and jewelry
Then they pried II lock and made their way
to the ground floor, pried another lock and
were in the yard. The tall prison wall
confronted them. How they climbed it
they only knew. 1t looks insurmountable
to a monkey.
About 1 10 A. NJ. the ticket agent sold
two tickets TO New York city to two smil-
ing and polite young women, who in few
minutes took a train. The girls escape
was not discovered for four hours. Then
the police of the neighboring cities were
notified and earnest but fruitless search
was made.

DR.. f. B. Minis, formerly superintend-
ent of the state insane asylum, and DIR.
George d Thayer made an examination Of
Lewis Warner at the Hampshire county
Jail at Northampton Saturday, with view
of ascertaining the facts regarding his
mental condition. What the result of their
inquiry was has not transpired. 1t is prob
able that this examination was made in
connection with the states case against
Warner, as DR.. Minis was one of the COM
monwealth's experts at the time of the
trial, when Warmers mental condition was
first questioned. Warner appears to re-
main In the same negative condition that
he has since the trial He does not talk
and recognizes no one. The motion for
sentence will soon be made, probably. The
physicians reported that the prisoner was
in good condition physically, and although
depressed mentally he is not demented.

Attemp, to Have Davis Admitted to Bail.


A hearing was held at the county Jail in
Keene Monday before Judge r. NJ. Wal
lace of the New Hampshire supreme bench
on petitions of citizens of the town of Win
chester requestii & that David d. Davis,
who killed Ernest w. Maddocks of Broad
Brook in that town June 10, be admitted
to bail. Prominent citizens testified to the
representative character of the 140 names
on the petitions, to the good character of
the respondent and to the quarresome dis
position and bad reputation of Maddocks.
Affidavits by several others were in the
same tone, that of Mrs Davis explaining
the circumstances of the killing, which to
her appeared justiiable. County Solicitor
Charles II. Hersey opposed the granting of
bail on the ground that the fact of the kill
ing being admitted by Davis, there was
nothing of presumptive character about
the case; that even Mrs. Davis in her aft
davit failed to make a clear case of self
defence-the respondent having left the
house during the trouble to meet a chal-
lenge of the victim; and that the hard
ship to the respondent in remaining in con-
finement until the October term of court
was a minor matter as compared with its
Importance to the state. The matter was
taken under advisement by Judge Wallace
