Petitions in bankruptcy were filed

an unusual incident. They are:

A sad accident recently occurred at
the farm of James Simpson in East
Lyndon, which terminated fatally.
Mr.. Simpson was engaged in pulling
stumps with a pair of horses which
became frightened and unmanageable.
In trying to stop them, his foot was
caught in the hook of the chain used,
and he was dragged several rods over
rough ground and stones until the
horses came in contact with a tree,
which checked them long enough for
him to free himself. His foot was
terribly mangled and torn. DIR. Hub
bard was called and dressed the
wound. Later, Drs. Cheney and
Copeland were called, but lockiaw
had developed and surgeon from
the Hanover, Y. H., hospital was sent
for, who decided that amputation
was necessary to save the patients
life. The foot was taken off, but Mr..
Simpsons death resulted.
Montpelier is agitated as to wheth-
err the waters of Berlin pond are prop
erly protected against pollution from
the numerous cottages on its banks.
The city's water supply comes from
this pond. 1t is proposed to have a
bill passed by the legislature which
may practically close Berlin pond as a
summer resort for Montpelier resi-
dents. On the east side of the pond
the cottagers have considered the
feasibility of farming the sewerage,
that is, purifying it by a process of
filtration, and selling or giving away
the solids taken from it to farmers for
fertilizing purposes. 1t is thought
this plan might prove economical and
satisfactory. There is talk of build
ing large hotel at the pond and those
who are interested in any way in hav-
ing one there are anxious TO see the
sewerage question settled as soon as
possible, for they feel that it is folly
to build the hotel or to greatly in
crease the number of cottages until
the problem of drainage is disposed
of once for all.

Arrested for Forgery.

Mrs. Ella NJ Bagley, or Ella M.
Isabelle, as her name may be, is in the
Chittenden county Jail for obtaining
SIS in money under false pretences
from the Howard Relief society in
payment for stockings purchased of
the Lawrence Knitting Co of Law
renee, Mass. In addition, it is al
legged, she forged the name of Miss
Edith E. Campbell, one Of the How
ard Relief nurses, and secured about
$40, deposited in Miss Canpbell's
name with the Burlington Savings
Bank. The woman made a confession
or a series of confessions duplicating
one Medor NJ. Isabelle, formerly of
Barre, as her accomplice and indica-
ting that he had planned the work
which she had carried out. The
woman in the case was for many
years a resident Of Montpelier, where,
at least until the death of Mr.. Bagley,
she had good social position, being
prominent in one of the churches.
Isabelle was arrested at White River
junction Thursday and taken to
Burlington and placed in Jail.

Burlington Bay, especially that part
fronting the Lake Champlain Yacht
club, recently presented an unusually
active and beautiful appearance. The
blue waters of the lake were beautified
by several beautiful and costly steam
and sailing yachts in port. Among
these were the WaItha, which is own
ed by Arlington Lippitt of Provi-
dence, Il. l., brother of Gov. Lip
pitt of Rhode Island, and the Diana,
owned BY the New Haven Yacht club
and leased BY A. w. G. Williams of
Hartford, Conn. Both yachts, with
large parties, came through the st.
Lawrence route and reported excel
lent weather and a beautiful sail.
Charles Doherty, convicted of the
murder Of Fred Murphy at Bolton
Falls, and under sentence to be hung
in March, 1901, was taken to the state
prison at Windsor Friday. AT the
station there was large crowd to
catch last look at the prisoner. He
was dressed in a light brown suit, a
straw hat and negligee shirt. He
appeared to be rather downhearted
and it is evident that the great mental
strain which he has undergone during
the past few months is telling on him.
George W.Smith, convicted of bribery,
was taken to Windsor at the same
time BY Sheriff Graves. He was
caught in the act of accepting bride
from an Italian for failing TO serve a
warrant in a liquor case. Smiths
crime was in the line of blackmail as
well as bribery. His sentence is not
less than six years in the state prison.

Vermont Census Finished.

The work of taking the census in
Vermont is finished and Supervisor
w. B. Gates of Burlington made the
final shipment of schedules to Wash
ington last week Tuesday. The
actual enumeration and collection of
statistics was done during the month
of June, except in the large manufac-
turing places in the state, but the
examination and return TO the emu
merators of defective schedules, from
the supervisors office has caused some
delay. The law prohibits the super
visor from giving any information
about the population and the census
officials at Washington are at present
tabulating and publishing the statistics
from the larger cities in the country.
In few weeks, however, it is prob
able that the figures for Vermont will
be made public. 1t is expected that
the larger places in the state will show
healthy gain over 1890, but some OF
the smaller towns are likely to have
smaller population than was the case
ten years ago.

simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
turers do not use them. because they are too eN-
penSiye and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements OF MS
cement costs 1913 a pound, and another costs
s. IS gallon. while large share OF the So called
cements and liquid glue upon the market are
nothing more than SiNteen-cent glue. dissolved

of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retailS at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
tries To sell a substitute you can depend upon IL
that his only object is Ia make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement Is as much as
any dealer ought To make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share OF the benefits of Mr..
Majors advertising which amounts to over
$1,000 month, throughout the country. rs

that ex-senator Arthur p. German,

and would support Mckinley. In

is not only wholly untrue, but that
he will devote his time and energies
