Another Hunter KILLED.

Thomas Daggett and Gilman Gould,
who, with Ara Sturtevant, started last
Saturday on a hunting trip near Sebec
Lake, hare returned to Foxcroft, Maine,
bringing the body Of Sturtevant, who had
died from a bullet wound In the head.
Sturtevanps companions say they came
across the body sitting in an upright posi-
tion near deer which he had slain. A
bullet wound In the left temple led the
men to think that Sturtevant had shot
himself by accident, but an examination
of the wound showed that 1t had been
made by 80 so rifle, while the calibre of
Sturtevants gun was 1856. An attempt
to locate the person who fred the shot was
unsuccessful. Then the men undertook
the task of bringing the body out of the
woods. Sturtevant was about 35 years of
age and was a son in-law of Daggett. He
leaves a wife and four children.

Vermont Federal Buildings.

The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican has this to
say with reference to the outlook for
appropriations by Congress for new
public buildings in Vermont:
Judge Powers hopes to get through
the House this winter the bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the new pub
lie building at Burlington. The bill
provides for the postoffice, custom
house and United States courts in the
same building. 1t has already
passed the Senate, under the manage
ment of Senator Proctor, and Judge
Powers will soon take up the matter
of its passage in the House, with
Chairman Mercer of the committee
on public buildings. Gen. Grout is
watching for the provision for raising
the limit for the custom house at
Newport, VT, from $4,000 to $125, 900.
The item is part of the omnibus
bill which was prepared at the last
session by the committee on public
buildings. providing for a multitude
of cases where the rise in the cost
of materials made it impossible to
construct proper buildings within the
limit fixed by Congress.
