on the Stowe and Mount Mansfield
Electric Railway.
Columbus Clough, SO, a well known
lawyer in Waterbury, was killed yesterday
forenoon bya car on the Stowe and Mount
Mansfield electric railway. Mr. Clough and
g. b. Evans were driving about mile from
Waterbury when they met an electric car.
The horse was frightened and Mr.. Clough
jumped from the buggy in front of the
moving car, which went over him. He
was taken at once to his home in Water
bury, but died shortly after reaching there.
Had Mr.. Clough remained in the buggy
he would not have been injured. The
moterman did all in his power to stop the
car, but the distance was too short, and
the car was on the unfortunate man in an
instant Mr.. Clough was native of Stowe.

Paul Dillingham; of Waterbury and was ad :
mitted to the bar in 1856. He practiced
in Waits6eld several years but had been in

Another Bad Case.
Barnard Vagrsnt Arrested on a Serious
Charge and Lodged In Jail at Wood

Barnard Vsgrsnt Arrested on a Serious
Charge and Lodged in Jail at Wood
stock
For two years complaints have frequent
ly been made against one Isaac Blanchard,
who IL is claimed has lived in Barnard and
towns adjoining, wandering about the
country pilferlng from farmers and others.
Blanchard is generally accompanied by
his wife and daughter girl II or II years
old, and one or two,other women, and il is
said they frequently sleep in barns and
schoolhouses wherever and whenever they
can find an entrance unobserved.
Last spring he, in company with a man
by the name of Bailey Osmore, built a
shanty of one room on land belonging to
Levi Blanchard in Barnard. Mr.. Osmore
has daughter that is a cripple from birth,
cannot stand on her feet and is almost
helpless. There in the shanty with one
room all these people have lived so far this
summer, Blanchard with his wife and girl
and Osmore with his crippled daughter,
NJ try, % years old.
About four weeks ago Mary gave birth
to living child, the mother claiming Isaac
Blanchard TO be the father of it. Mr.. o.
more and his pitiable daughter came to
Barnard and entered complaint 10 Grand
Juror John A. Moore. The crime being
of such a serious character, the grand juror
immediately turned the case over to State S
Attorney Sargent, who made and gave the
papers to High Sheriff Spafford with or
ders TO make an immediate arrest Blanch-
ard, hearing of the complaint, kept in hid
ing and was not seen in the day time.
Tuesday night of last week the sheriff,
with deputies, Thomas of Woodstock and
Moore of Ludlow and Grand Juror Moore
of Barnard, surrounded the shanty and
with no trouble bagged the game. Pass
ing through Barnard village little before
daylight, they landed Isaac in Jail to await
the action of the grand jury next Deem
Der. He might thank his stars that the
crime was committed in a community
where the citizens are willing the law
should take its course. No doubt this an
imal should have been arrested for vagrancy
two years ago, satisfying many who have
been terribly annoyed by his conduct, also
perhaps avoiding this calamity which falls
on Mary Osmore.-[ Barnard correspond

Is the Governorship Mortgaged,

The enquiry was recently made as to
how Candidate-to-be Stickney had become
the possessor of blanket mortgage on
the gubernatorial nomination of next year.
No one seemed able to answer the enquiry
and now the Londonderry Sitter rises to
remark that:
Last year, after a spirited canvass, the
people gave 1t the governorship] to w.
w. Stickney, but political thieves stole it
from him. So for two years the people
had in their possession stolen property.
Next year an opportunity will be afforded
them TO return it TO its proper owner, and
the Sitter is going to guess that they, like
honest people, will do it without a muir
muir.
II the governorship was given to Brother
Stickney last year 1t was conveyed so
quietly that nobody knew anything about
it and Gov. Smith has been enjoying its
possession without an intimation, so far as
known, that it did not belong to him. In
the campaign of 1896, Brother Stickney
was a candidate, but failed to secure the
coveted prize. He may have claimed that
1t was stolen from him at that time, but he
seemed to make no effort to recover il. He
has allowed it to pass from one man to an
other without attempting to rescue it and
there seems to be prevailing opinion that
his claim to ownership, If he makes such a
claim, after so long time, will no more
be recognized than will an alleged mort.
gage upon the aforesaid governorship. The
people will probably take the matter in
hand and present the governorship, clear
and free from all encumbrance, to some
man whose ability and standing will war
rant their fullest confidence Mortified
News.
These are pertinent remarks, but per-
haps the newspaper is unnecessarily jump
ing on to the Ludlow railroad attorney.
There are evidences that Mr.. Stiekney will
purposely allow his claim to lapse. de is
bright man and knows a stone wall when
| he feels it. Rutland News.

LOCAL OVERFLOW.
old Peoples Reunion.


There was a very enjoyable occasion on
Thursday afternoon when the old people
of the Methodist society met, by invita-
Lion, for an early tea at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Geddis on Green
street. Fifteen of them, besides Rev. and
Mrs. Lowe, sat down for supper at a
richly-ladeu table. Beside each plate lay a
bouquet with card attached having "Com-
plments of Epworth League" on one side,
and Scripture verse on the other. Much
pleasure was expressed at the thoughtful
ness of the league. The pastor called on
each one to read this verse and then offer
ed prayer The average age of the IS
guests was 70 years. Five years ago a
similar gathering was held at the same
place, and, by a curious coincidence, the
only five of the former company now liv-
ing and in town sat down together all at
one end of the same table.
AT the special meeting of Golden Cross
commandery held last evening two candi-
dates were initiated and two applications
received for membership.
A meeting will be held this evening to
decide upon the date of and make arrange
ments for the picnic which the Catholic
church will hold at Central Park, Vernon.
There will be hearing before the side
judges of the county court, In the county
clerks Office tomorrow, on the petition of
the defendant for a struck jury in the
