CAPTAIN II. e.. LULL.

Capt. H. @. Lull died on Sunday MORN
ing from Bright's disease after a tedious ILL
ness. Since the death OF Mrs. Lull in
April, 1899, he has continued to fail in
health until last August when his condition
became such that 10 was necessary for him
to give up his work as city liquor agent aud
he resigned the position in October.
Capt. Lull was born in Windsor in 1929
He learned the trade OF marble cutter a, d
at the breaking out of the reb lion in 1861
was working at his trade in Utica, N Y.
He enlisted in the 146 New York infantry
and served through he war. He was pro-
noted to the rank of sergeant for gallant
and meritorious service. In May, 1854,
he was taken prisoner while in action at
the battle of the Wilderness and was coli
fined in Andersonville prison until near
the close Of the war. While in prison he
was promoted to the rank of second lieu
tenant, but never assumed that rank, as his
privations at Andersonville had impaired
his health TO such an extent that he did not
recover before his company was mustered
out at the close of the war.
Since the close of the rebellion, he has re-
sided with his family In Montpelier. He
first found employment at his trade with
George Arms, brother OF @, N Arms, who
operated marble shop on Elm street, op-
pos!te the old Jail. He later worked for
various firms but his longest term of service

BENEDICT ARNOLD'S FLAGSHIP

On o tober IL, 1776, Benedict Arnold.
then an active and Intrepid officer OF the Rev
olutionary Army, fought a memorable ma
val &C ion with the British in ValcOur Bay,
Lake Champlain. The American forces
succeeded in checking the advance of Carle-
toms forces, but suffered so severely that it
seemed prudent to their commander to
scuttle his craft in shallow water In order
to keep them from falling into the enemy's
hands.
From that day until about two years ago
the hull OF the Congress- Benedict Arnolds
flagship, lay under the water in an inlet
locally called by his name near Chimney
Point. Tradition preserved the identity OF
the decaying hu k, and the inhabitants OF
that neighborhood would point out to visit

plainly seen when the conditions were IA
vorable. At last William Adams, an Ad

OF the government would be menaced at
the first evidence of weakness.
In raising the popular subscription
many ladies offered their jewelry. One
Spanish and one Italian merchant have

Is a Deep Mystery.

Chicago. Jan. "a special to the
Chronicle from Battle Greek, Mich. says:
One of h deepest mysteries which ever
stirred up this community assumed a
new phase by the finding of the body of
Sherman Church, a prominent young
miller. lying under the water wheel of
the Augusta mill with both hands tied
behind him and a heavy weight attached
to his left leg. Last Tuesday afternoon
Henry Marvin came into the Augusta
mills to get a sack of grain, Sherman
Church waited upon him and accented
he money. He then went from the
Office to the mill as Mr. Marvin was de-
parting.
Church's wife kept supper waiting for
him, but he did not return. She sent to
the mill and found that he had disap-
peared. The mill was searched. but
Church could not be found. Parties or
friends broke up the ice in the river and
searched the country, but could not find
him.
Last evening, as a last hope, the water
was left out of the flume, which the resi-
dents had been confident had been frozen
over at the time of the disappearance of
Church. The body was found wedged in
tightly between the big water wheel and
the bottom of the ffume. Both hands of
the man We're tied behind his back. and
to his left leg was firmly attached a
piece of heavy iron. The coroner will de-
eide the cause Of death.
