Republican candidate for representa-

intimated in a note two weeks since.
Gen Grout was willing that the Ross
man should 20, whose second choice
was Grout himself. but it seems that
the regular candidate was not salts
factory to some personally, and
another was filed in, whose first choice
was the General, without the latter's
sanction. From reports in the St
Johnsbury papers at the time Of the
Caledonia county convention, it was
expected that no opposition would be
manifested by Republicans in st.
Johnsbury to the election Of a Ross
representative. and when, after such d
man had been named at party
caucus, a Grout man was filed, the
natural inference was that those
interested were responsible. This
turns out not to be the case. How
ever. as the Democrat won, the ethics
OF the affair hardly warrant more,I

preferable.

ARION CONCERT.
Large Audience Listened to Fine
Program in Infantry Hall.
WuIk Of Vs SuIoIsis and Chorus Worthy Of
Highest Communication.

The last concert of the season given
by the Arion Club in Infantry hall last
evening was an artistic success in ev-
cry way. The audience was large one,
the chorus and orchestra in perfect ac-
cord and the soloists in good voice and
perfectly at home i'm their different
roles. All this harmonious grouping
could not fail TO produce grand ef-
feet. and better satisfied audience
has not issued from the Infantry build
ing during the musical season.
The program for last evening was:
Overture, Carnival Romain," Berlioz,
orchestra; Cantata, The Swan and
Skylark," Thomas. Miss Craft, Mr.. Da-
vies. Mr.. Miles, chorus and orchestra;
ballad. 'I.ochinvar." Chadwick. Mr..
Miles: Cantata, Hymn of Praise. Men
delssohn, Miss Craft. Miss Greene. Mr..
Davies. chorus and orchestra.
The soloists were: Miss S. Marcia
Craft, soprano: Miss Helen $. Greene,
soprano; Mr.. Ben. Davies. tenor, and
Mr.. Gwilym Miles. baritone.
Miss Craft has a high and brilliant
soprano voice. which was the exact re-
quirement in the first number, and al
though the music and words OF the
Mendelssohn hymn call for sweet and
sympathetic quality, Miss Craft ham
died her part so delicately and tender
ly that the brilliant and metallic ring
which is the chief quality of her voice
was so subdued as TO nearly disappear.
The duet II Waited for the Lord. lin
which Miss Helen Greene assisted, was
beautifully rendered. Miss Greene has
very sweet voice and uses IL well.
Mr. Davies is too old friend or
Providence audiences TO need any spe-
cial mention. for he is always sure TO
succeed in whatever he undertakes, and
hast nights experience was no excep-
ton. He sang. II anything, with more
than usual sweetness.
Mr. Miles did well in the first number,
and outdid himself in Young Lochin-
var" which. by the way, is very
choice production. introducing sug-
gestion of old bagpipe music, in the
ancient Scottish dance "Pulloghoniii
This theme is finely woven in with the
music of the ballad.
The chorus sang exceptionally well,
the female chorus especially some stac-
GA to work being very well done and the
entire rendition without flaw. The or
chestra was up to its usual standard OF
excellence and in the opening selection
Carnival Roinain," by Berlioz, gave
evidence of their capabilities, aside
from accompaniment.
DIR. Jordan is to be congratulated on
the performance, for to him must be
given much of the credit. and also the
thanks of the auoience for an evening
OF musical enjoyment.

LITTLE BOYS LIFE CRUSHED
OUT BY A HEAVY l0W0EAR.

fsadore Lebeau. the 6-year-old son of
Felix Lebeau. a resident OF Lilac street.
Pawtucket, was killed almost instantly
last evening by being run over by
iow-gear truck driven by Joseph Smith.
The skull was crushed and one arm
broken, and death ensued before the
residence OF the child could be reached
by those who bore the body.
The boy. with other children, had
been jumping on and of the truck as IL
was passing ,along Broadway, and IL Is
supposed chat ne fell and was caught
under the wheels.
The medical examiner, In the alb
eence OF definite facts. decided 10 order
an inquest. TO determine II there was
any blame attaching 10 any one for the
lads death. The driver OF the truck
first knew OF the affair when a man
shouted TO him. and. looking back. he
saw the boys body lying In the street.
