FOURTH CLASS POSTMASTERS

About dozen fourth. class postmasters
of Washington county gathered at the Pa
vilion on Thursday for the purpose of dis
cussing means for the betterment of their
lot, which they claim is the most lily paid
of any branch of the postal service, and
also, il deemed advisable ;. to perfect per
manent organization for this county such as
at present exists in Bennington and Essex
counties.
II E. White OF Middlesex presented the
matter for consideration before the meet
ing. 1t was thought by some that the Cum
mings bill, which has been before Congress
for some time would result in benefits TO
were only passed in part The meeting
al postmasters who had labUred for this end
no longer The possibility Of placing lhese
also advocated, but it was argued this
would not meet with favor with congress-
men as a-pirants to these offices were often
more efficient workers for congressman
than incumbents.
IL was not thought feasible to perfect an
organic alton today as thu postma- tiers were
constantly being changed in this class,
which would hinder the practical working
of the organization u H. McAllister OF
Waitsfeld, was chosen chairman of a COM
miitee of three to draw up resolutions eX-

THE THEMAS.

Mrs George III. Smile and Mrs Harry
M. Cutler entertained last evening the
Themas ladies and invited masculine
friends, at the home OF Mrs. Smile. Six
handed euchre OF the progressive sort " as
the advertisement arranged for the even
ing. Partners ivided along the sexual
line, the ladies' being arrayed against their
lords. The fun was great, the nterest AMI
mated, and at the last, in the course OF the
contest in which the fittest survive, three
were arrayed against three, and the gentle
men trio ungallantly triumphed. But be-.
ing their guests, the ladies exhibited the
height OF true courtesy in conceding to
them the victory
The evening was one OF such rare de-
lights and enjoyments as come from the
assembling Of congenial spirits. The hos.
pitality of Mesdames Smile and Cutler was
as delightful rs it was generous.

SUICIDE AT QUECHEE,
ID. e. Landers, Merchant, Shoots
Himself.

Daniel O. Landers, who has been mer-
chant in Quechee for about ten years, shot
himself through the heart about four o'clock
Thursday afternoon. He was in his room
at home when his wife heard a shot, went
up stairs and found him dead. He used a
revolver which he borrowed OF the watch
man at the mill, saying he expected to have
quite large sum of money with him later
and wanted to protect himself. 1t is re.
ported that Landers had previously threat
ened TO kill himself, though little attention
was paid to the threat. He had kept gen.
eral store, which was lately closed by his
creditors, and business troubles may have
led to the deed.

appears there was an old trouble between
LaCount and Lawrence and that they had
not exchanged words for about five years.
The physician said the marks Of the three
prongs of the fork are plainly visible on
Mr.. Lawrence's back. II is also said the
prongs of the fork with which the attack
was made had been filed sharp, and that
when LaCount assaulted Mr.. Lawrence he
dropped the fork he was using and nsed the
sharpened one. 1t is also alleged that Mr..
Lawrence, after being struck with the
fork, rushed into the house and got shot
gun for the purpose Of bringing down In
Count, who fl I'D after he made the ass iult.
The gun, it is reported, was not loaded.
