the death of their little daughter, Marion
Fisher Bell, which occurred at 1:45 We'd
ncsday morning aftcran illness of about one
week. The child WAS born on October 18th,
1898 The funeral was held privately W. d.
nesday afternoon with burial at Lake Wow
cemetery. The symptoms of the disease
were those of diphtheria but cultures at
the state Laboratory of Hygiene failed
to show the disease. 1t was, however,
thought advisable to isolate the family
and for the same reason the funeral was
held privately.
The option secured by parties from BoS
ton upon the building of the Burlington
Cold Storage company at the foot of COL
lego street has been extended for short
time. 1t is expected that the building will
be moved to a point near the storehouses
of the Consumers Ice company on Maple
street and a cold storage plant stablish-
ed on larger scale than has ever before
been operated in this city. In event of the
formation of a company and the removal
of the building an addition will be con-
structed to the old storage building 100 by
40 feet in size for a freezing plant A liz
cense has already been secured for the re-
moval of the building.
The work on the marble quarries on
North avenue owned by lockwood Bar
rott OF Rutland will not be continued this
fail. Several of the stones that have been
quarried have been taken to the mill to
he tested as to theii soundness and there
are several more at the quarries to be
brought to the city. The testing of these
will complete the work on the quarry this
fan but it will probably be resumed in the
spring to learn further about the merits
of the stone for interior work. The test
nag thus far has not proved that large
sound blocks could be quarrcd but some
of the stock has been polished and gives
a very favorable impression.
