A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Buenus Ayres to-day reported the
arrival of the Belgica at Punta Arenas,
Patagonia, and this together with the
dispatch to the Standard Union was the
first news of the party for fifteen
months. The expedition was command
ed by Lieutenant A. DeGerlach and DR..
Cook was the surgeon of the expedition.
The last communication from the expe-
dition was from Ushuala, the southern
port of Terra Del Fuego, December 30
1897, stating that on the next day the
steamer would sail for the unknown

Australia; but to-day's dispatches make
it certain that the Belgica party was
the first to winter south of the Antartic
circle.

JUSTICE HAWKINS DlDIT.
Married a Couple Who Had Walked Mile
to Find Tim.

The police office was treated to free
show yesterday afternoon in the shape of
curious looking couple who strollei in
from Colcehstar and signfed their wish 10
be married. Before coming to Burlington
they tried Winooski but after visiting va
ficus individuals and stores left that VII
lage for Burlington, where they were more
successful in theic efforts. Their names
were Charles A. Besettc and Mary Ellen
Green and thoy were married by Justice
Hawkins.
After the ceremony the happy couple re-
tired and visited the various stores In the
city making arrangements to purchase
household goods which would be paid for
at future date Their costumes were
unique. His coat, hat and shoes might be
compared to Josephs coat of many colors.
He was dirty, but the love that beamed
from his eyes needed no other proof than
the accumulat ton of mud on his shoes that
showed he had walked miles to accom- fish
his hearts desire.
Her wedding outfit consisted OF a Mother
Hubbard that had seen service and n jack
ct large but whole. Her hair was Golden
and the short curls that clustered over
her forehead were covered by a nat that
would cause envy in the heart of any
bride. The couple received the Consratu-
lations of all witnesses to the ceremony
and will doubtless enjoy a long and happy
married life

SITUATION IN THE SECOND DISTRICT
Judge Read of Bellows Falls Talks of His
Candidacy.

Judge L. NJ. Read of Bellows Falls was
interviewed by a representative of the
Herald in Rutland who asked him about
politics on his side of the State. "Oh, it $
too hot in July and August to talk poll
tics he said. But still there is a good
deal going on. as everybody knows. with
all the rest there is apparently contest
taking form for the seat in Congress from
our district. There is talk of several cam
didates from the central and northern paCt
of the district, and we have two in Wind
ham county. That is, | understand that
Mr.. Haskns Of Brattleboro is in the field,
although he has said nothing to me about
the matter and | am candidate. / have
no hesitation in saying that. and you can
print the statement If you choose. ! have
no complaint to make because Mr.. Has
kins has entered the race, but ! see no
reason why | am under any sort of oblga-
ton to abandon the field in his favor. OF
course the danger is that with two can
didatos within its lines, the county will be
so divided that both will be defeated and
a man from another section nominated.
You know that Windham county has had
precisely that experience several times,
and got Judge Tyler nominated for Con-
gross years ago only when all the other
candidates from the section withdrew in
his favor after the convention met, al
though up to that moment nobody had
thought of him.

THE MOON WITHIN FORTY MILES
lFrom Public OpinionO

Provided the great telescope now MAX
ing is a success, the projectors of the en-
terprise at the Paris exposition assert
that that they will bring the moon within
40 miles by means of their apparatus, and
il really begins to look If there was Il
chance to do so. for the great seven-foot
mirror is almost ready, and the lenses,
after repeated failures, are ground and
perfect. The basis of comparison for a
telescope is the object glass, and the only
lenses to which those of the Grande Lun-
ettc can be compared are those of the
Yerkes telescope at Lick observatory in
California, and the gigantic Grunwad in
stunent that was shown at the Berlin eX-
position. The Ycrkes object glass is three
feet five inches in diameter, and the Grun-
valid glass measures three feet seven
inches across The object glasses of the
Grande Lunette are four feet in diameter
These are the largest object glasses ever
cast and ground successfully.
The completed telescope will not be sub
jected TO the restrictions imposed on the
other big telescopes Of the world by the
difficulties of mechanical construction.
That is to say, telescope as large as the
Yerkes, for instance, is mounted on a
frame work of complicated mechanism
and held up by a tremendous foundation
The Yerkes. which fell once before it was
finally placed, was restricted to 65 feet in
length, because of the mechanical dificul-
ties in handling an instrument longer and
heavier, That is not the full focal dis
lance of its object glass. The Yerkes tele-
scope does not do what 1t might. To cir
cumvent the difficulty and give the four
foot object glass of the Paris telescope its
full focal power of 1875 feet the telescope
will lie fiat along the ground. 1t will be-
stationary. The image of the star or 9TH
or heavenly body to be examined will be
caught by a seven-foot mirror, reflected on
the object glass and seen as perfectly as
If the great glass were pointed at the sky.
BY ingenious mechanism at both the eye
piece and under the mirror. II will he pos
sible to catch any part of the sky and re-
tain the image on the glass. for the mir
ror and the eye piece will do what the
whole telescope does in other observatories
--1ellow the rotary motion OF the earth.

THE HEINEBERG BRIDGE.
To the Editor of the Free Press:

To the Editor of the Free Press:
The rate of taxation for 1899 IA fixed
being no perceptible decrease suggests at
tention to the various causes and among
them stands conspicuously the Board of
Aldermen. The provision to build new
Heneherg bridge. for instance, what, II
anything, is to hinder the Traction COM
pany securing the use of the new iron
structure? Is 1t assumed or Thought by
any disinterested person that an electric
traction company will incur tho expense
of crossing the river by its own iron
bridge in order to go to Malletts Bay:
The bridge is good enough as it stands
now, except 1t may not be used by heavy
motor cars. What then, is the reason for
any haste to make this additional expense
to citizens? Should not the city save a
small portion of its rights and streets
from private corporations? Does the
Board represent the taxpayers in this
matter? ECONOMY.

NEW INDUSTRIES FOR BURLINGTON.
Tho City's Advantage For Manufacturing
Must he Better Advertised.
TO the Editor Of the Free Press:

To the Editor of the Free Press
/ rote with pleasure what the Free
Press has said In recent issues relating to
Burlington business men making n con-
certed effort to secure new industries
There is no doubt whatever but that the
country is entering upon an er3 of sound
financial prosperity, as / travel about in
Northern New England ! am gratihed to
notice the many new factory buildings
that are being erected, besides numerous
additions to existing plants, showing UNI
mistakable signs of an increased demand
for manufactured products. 1t is very
seldom that new industry can be secur-
ed without some effort being put forth by
the citizens to secure 1t. / have talked
with good many business men in other
States about the advantages that Burl-
ington possesses as a manufacturing
point find that the impression largely
prevails, that Burlington Is a beautiful
city, nice place for excursion parties to
strike, place possessed of abundent
ca pital, but not a place where manufact-
uring or any industrial enterprises are
sought. ! do not believe this to be the
sentiment of our citizens, but to overcome
such Impressions, requires a good deal OF
persuasion. The Free Press Is to he COM
nut nded In It's frequent and urgent efforts

suits therefrom.

A SCIIOOLBOY DETECTS AN ERROR
To the Editor of the Free Press

At our table recently ii was remarked
that the classes of 1899 are the last classes
of the 18th century to graduate. The
question then arose. When does the 10Th
century end? After some discussion it
was decided that 1t would not end until
December 81 1900. or that 1901 would be
the first year of the 10Th century. IF
that is So" my boy not quite fifteen in
stantly says then the common saying
that Washington died the last month of
the last year of the last century is not
true because he died in 1872" Was the
boy right? A. ID. +.
