VERMONT LEGISLATURE.
THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
TContinued from page 81

Montpelier, VT, Tuesday night.-The
first round in the great senatorial
is over and the end is not yet. The four
republican candidates are not disap
pointed over the informal ballot and it
looks tonight like long and stubborn
contest. Everybody is waiting for the
democrats to break to the republican
side and if, as the Prouty and Ross men
claim, they divide their support between
Grout and Dillingham; then the contest is
more complicated than ever. The Pavil-
ion corridor last night was one seething
mass OF politicians, and if anyone was
not there it was because he could not
reach Montpelier.
At the State House this afternoon there
was One of the largest crowds ever seen
in the building and hundreds could not
get into the House or Senate chamber.

Senator Ross chances will improve as
the fight is prolonged. He had more
votes on the start than most of the
statisticians had given him and will soon
pass Mr.. Prouty in the race.

were short and quite eloquent. Senator

Benjamin S. Simonds, of McIndoes
Falls, died at that place on October 8.
Mr.. Simonds was born at Dalton, N. H.,
Dec. "a, 1884. He was educated in the
common schools Of Dalton and his early
life was spent there. In the early sixties
he came to McIndoes and took charge of
the lumber mills. After a few years in
this capacity, he went the lumber bust
ness for himself and conducted it until
burned out sometime later. He then sold
out his interest, and from that time till
1889 was again in charge of the mills at
McIndoes. In the year 1889, he went to
Lowelltown and assumed charge of the
VanDyke lumber interests at that place.
This position he held, until about two
years ago, when failing health necessi-
tated a retirement from active life. He
returned to Mclndoes where the greater
part of the last two years has been spent.
Mr.. Simonds married Mary ]. Kelley, of
Barnet, who died Jan. 10, 1877. He
leaves an aged mother Mrs. J. Simonds,
OF Dalton, and three sons, B, S. Simonds,

Barker.
The following account of the death of
Mrs F. w. Barker at Hartford, Conn,
has been sent us for our columns and
will be of interest to many who knew her
in the Academy and later as teacher.
Marcia Woodward, wife of F. w. Bar
ker, who passed to the higher life, Sep
TENDER %, from her home in Hartford.
was one OF the choice spirits of earth. In
early womanhood she was engaged in
teaching in her Vermont home, but soon
after her marriage to Mr.. Barker they
moved to this city where her three sons.
Wallace, Malvern and Berne were born.
They with her husband were with her at
the last; also her mother, Mrs. Horace
Woodward. Her father and three
brothers, William, Ebert and ROLAND
also survive her. AS a worker in any
cause which seemed to her worthy she
was most faithful and efficient. In St.
Pauls church Of which she was Tor many
years a member, she was interested in
every phase of its work, though having
the care OF young children at the time
she gave her assistance whenever posi-
bic. AS Sunday school teacher she was
much beloved. When the mission which
has since become the Second Universalist
church was first thought of, she was one
OF the first to encourage her pastor in the
Residences OF the project and from that
time until her removal to Hartford a
year or so ago, she gave of her time and
her lite to the promotion Of its welfare.
She believed in the "glad tidngs of the
Gospel" and labored and prayed that
they might be carried to all men.
Though she had lived in Hartford but a
short time she had endeared herself to
the people of that church and community
where she leaves sincere mourners as we'll
as IN our own city. But twas not in
her church or neighborly relations that
one saw the finest side of her character.
1t was an inspiration to visit in her
home, where harmony reigned. The wife
and mother there shone out in all the
glorious unselhshness of which those
relations are so capable. Such wisdom
IN guiding and restraining her children
Such lofty ideals held ever before them
that they are growing up to be living
monuments to her love. AS the wife she
was always full of sympathy and cheer;
true companion and helpmeet. AS a
daughter, sister, neighbor and friend she
ever had heart open and ready where
any kindly word or helping hand was
needed. Truly though she had not lived
many years, noble work had she accom-
plshed. A beautiful consecrated life has
gone out from our sight. Though we shall
See her face no more shall we not believe
that her pure spirit with its high ideals
still lives on, not far away, but near and
ever helping.
And thither thou, beloved, and thither
May set our heart and set our face and 90
