VERMONT MUTUAL.
An Institution the State is Proud of.

An Institution the State is Proud of
The seventy-second annual report
Of the Vermont Mutual Fire Insur.
ance company shows that il paid
Sl97, 079.ll to unfortunate member,
during the year, being S63, G4l.5s
more than in the years Is97-9s, an
increase very largely due to the I'M
usually large amount of property
destroyed by lightning.
BY the wise policy of its directors,
who sin time OF peace prepared for
war;" a surplus had been created for
just such an emergency, and so, by a
draft of Sl6.S35 from total surplus
of sos, 902.73, the assessment rate
has been kept at the four pr cent
standard, the amount thus raised
covering every loss of the year, every
fire sufferer receiving his money
when due.
The reasonable assurance which
this precedent establishes that the an
nual assessments of this company will
not exceed four per cent, the lowest
amount consistent with conservatism
and sure protection, is invaluable to
the insured and to those who would
be insured.
The amount of insurance now car
ried by this company is s5l, 1889,
and its premium notes in force for
payment of losses are s4,050,30
showing a gain OF about % per cent
during the past five years.
The whole number of policies in
force is 80, s64, of which IL, 479 were
issued during the past year, showing
that the company's honorable deal
ings, low rates and prompt adjust
ment Of losses are being more and
more appreciated by Vermonters in
want of fire insurance protection.

MIDDLEBURY MURDER.
EastwOOd's Defence Insanity.-The
Wounded Recovering.


Fred Eastwood, who is in jail al
/ Middlebury, was form ally arrested
Wednesday of last week by Sheriff
Chapman, charged with the murder
Of Frank Fem. The arrest seemed
to have no effect on him. Sheriff
Chapman asked him some questions
and tried to get him to make some
statement but he would not say any
thing. He was asked where he was
after the shooting ceased and he
claimed he was in the park, near the
Episcopal church. lie also claimed
he was shot there by some one and
that he laid there unconscious until
about two O'Clock when he came to
and proceeded to the county jail,
where he gave himself up to Mrs w.
IL. Cobb. Eastwood is suffering con-
siderable pain from his wound and
the ball has not been secured yet.
His hearing was postponed because of
his condition. He has secured coun-
sci and will try the insanity dodge.
The funeral OF Frank Fei n one of
his NiItlLlss was utlu w Z lHteudN
afternoon at East Middlebury. a
vast concourse Of people from the
surrounding country were present.
Mrs. Eastwood and Mrs. Brown are
both doing well.
The story of the crime in brief is as
follows
Eastwood hired a team at Middle
bury Monday evening, drove five
miles to East Middlebury to the res
idence of his wife, who lived with her
mother, and shot his wife and her
mother. He then rapidly drove to
town and went TO the residence Of |
Frank Fem, who drives team for
Marshall a Co, and shot him through |
the heart. He then fired at the muir
lered mans wife but did not kill her,
the bullet grazing her head. He then
went to the residence Of E. ID. Brown,
/ brother of his former wife, whom
ne shot at East Middlebury, and
.ried to find Mr.. Brown, evidently
with the intention of shooting him.
During the excitement that pre-
vailed the murderer escaped. Later
le came to the county Jail and sur
endered.

Corner STONE For Dewey Han.

The hill at Mortified upon whicl
the buildings Of Norwich university
are situated is composed of sand and
clay, and although considerable exca,
vation has been done heretofore, nc
stone has ever been found.
During the operation OF grading
the site Of Dewey hall the workmen
have unearthed at depth of at least
l6 feet from the surface two large
stones, one of which is quite regular
in outline, being four feet long, three
feet wide, two feet thick and very
hard. 1t is a good deal discolored on
the surface from its long burial, but
investigation develops the fact that it
is of fine, clear granite, of texture
much finer than that of the granite in
this vicinity. The upper surfaces are
as smooth as If the stone had been
split from the parent ledge only yes.
terday, and the block is so admirably
adapted for the purpose, that it will
be used as the corner stone, just as il
is, only enough dressing being given
its outer face to allow the necessary
inscription to be placed upon it.

An Important DecisIon.

Judge Thompson has handed down
a decision in the somewhat noted
chancery suit OF Mrs. Vivian Barrett
against State'sAttorney Frank L.Fish,
OF Yergennes, dismissing the bill. The
decision is a very important one, as il
virtually asserts that a persons pri-
waite letters are not only subject to
seizure by an officer but admissions Of
guilt contained in such letter, like vol
untary confessions. can be used as evil
dence in open court. The case has
attracted much attention as the legal
questions raised were very novel.
These papers were seized when
Smith Davis was under trial charged
with causing the death Of Dora Cush-
man, Mrs. Barrett's sister, at Lincoln.
The decision is a victory for Mr.. Fish
and leaves him free 10 use the letters
la evidence, though in all probability
he will never do so, As the evidence
contained in the letters would not be
sufficient to convict either person.

food products as a business WAS carried
on in Il small way i'm the United states
