A slight earthquake shock was felt
at Waterbury, Oct. 29, at about a. M, i,
and more severe one in the after
noon about half past four. Buildings
shook perceptibly and trees trembled.
The noise accompanying it was some
thing like an explosion and the people
rushed from the houses to inquire the
cause of the disturbance,
Alfred Malnatti, an Italian stone
cutter, attempted to take his own life
"Wednesday in Montpelier, by shoot
ing himself with a revolver at his
boarding place. He is an expert
granite cutter and makes large wages.
No cause for the act is known. He
shot himself in the left side of the
neck, but the ball followed around the
skull and was extracted back of the
right ear Malnatti was taken to the
hospital and will recover.
The body of man, evidently
tramp, was found at North Clarendon,
near the railroad trestle, last We'd
nesday, and apparently death resulted
from the goring of a bull. The man
was cooking a meal. He had been
killed, according to the blood stains,
by being dashed against a stone wall.
The ground for some yards had been
paved over as if the bull had been in
a savage mood. The body was fear
fully lacerated by the animals horns.
Patrick Sullivan, II, respondent
widower with five adult children, left
his overcoat and watch with F. @.
Dowd at "A North ST., Burlington,
Monday afternoon, remarking that he
was going down to the lake to drown
himself. Mr.. Dowd was busy when
the old man left his store, but mo-
ment later sent his clerks in pursuit.
At Cranes mills Mr.. Sullivan eluded
his pursuers, and, removing his hat
and coat. ran off the dock. Help was
called from the mills, but life was ex
tinct when the body was reached.
The Wheelock Association of Free
Baptists, atits recent session at Enos
burg Falls, VT, passed the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That we believe the pres
ent prohibitory aw of this state to be |
sound in principle and safe in practice,
and we protest against the repeal of
the same.
ResolUed, That we believe the so |
called, Referendum to be unwise and |
uncalled for.
ResolUed, That we instruct our
clerk pro tenn, to send a copy of
these resolutions to each of our rep
resentatives at Montpelier and to the
published within the
bounds of this association.
An effort which is likely to be sue
cessful is being made by ex-States
Jones of Rutland to secure
as member of the
Vermont bar. He was disbarred from
the practice of law by the Supreme
Court in 1897. The law of 1894 pro-
vides that states attorneys must be
granted a certificate by the Judge at
the last term of county court that
they have faithfully administered the
duties of their Office, including the
enforcement of the prohibitory law,
before they can draw their salaries.
Jones made application to Judge
Rowell for such certificate, but it is
alleged that in his application he de-
ceived the judge concerning certain
matters arising under the prohibitory
aw. For the alleged deception he
was disbarred. The late Judge
Thompson delivered the opinion,
Judge Start dissenting, but later is
said to have favored re instatement.
