pense of S2,828 while German soldier

G. NJ. WILDS DEAD.

MIDDLEBURY, VT, Feb. 15.-Charles
M. Wilds, vice-president of the Grand
Trunk Western, and attorney of the
Central Vermont, died after two weeks
illness with quick consumption.
Mr.. Wilds was one OF the bright
young men of the Vermont bar. His
rise in his profession in late years was
rapid. Five years ago in the receiver
ship proceedings in connection with the
Central Vermont railway, he was at
torney for the Grand Trunk, and after
the reorganization continued as the at
torney for the road. He had been
States attorney for Addison county,
about the only public office he ever
held. AS lawyer he was distinguish
ed for his executive ability and his APP
plication to the business of his profess
sion, rather than by his ability and
power as an advocate.
He was industrious, pusher, and
faithful TO the interests OF his clients.
Had he gone into politics he would
have been an interesting factor in the
public affairs of the State. He was
chairman of the Republican State con-
vention OF $780, and at that time
seemed destined for political career,
but the opportunity for advancement
in his profession came and he improv-
ed it. His untimely death comes as
great shock to all who have known
him, and he will be greatly mourned
by his friends and acquaintance in the
profession and outside of professional
circles
Mr.. Wilds was in 1898 president of
the Vermont Bar Association and de
livered an address on "Practice and
Procedure"

ing three. These were in the law, the
street and the water departments.
The mayor charges that the city has
twenty-lour law suits on the docket, and
has suffered by the continuance of cases for
the benef5 Of the law officer. He "wanted

less than as hours q .iled citz sn, lAnguish-
ing in confinement and costing the city a

The company is capitalized at 81 ,ooo,-

stock.
So far as prospected by these surface
workings the ledge has an average width
of seven feet. The ore is an iron pyrtes

silver and small per cent of lead and
copper. Thirty or forty assays of this
surface ore have been made, from sam
pies taken across the vein, and the low

feet, samples from across the face of the
tunnel assayed S64.92. These workings
demonstrate that the per centage of lead
increases with depth, as well as the gold
values, making the ore easy to treat.
The GipSy King Mines Company
will begin at an early day to drive tun-
mel, which will cut the vein at distance
from its mouth of from so to 90 feet and
at depth of about 8 feet. When the
tunnel reaches the ledge, it will turn and
drift from that point in ore that will
doubtless pay to ship.
For the purpose of raising funds with
which to prosecute this work, the first
stock offered for sale has been placed
upon the market. Fifty thousand shares
are now offered at FIVECENTS, no more
nor no less. When this is disposed of
the price will be raised. Every share of

RANGES EXPLODED.
Frozen Pipes cause Damage to
Tive Prominent Citizens.

Two ranges exploded Sunday
morning, -as result of the sudden
freeze.
One was in the kitchen of Mr.. w.
M. Tandy. The explosion of the
water pipe occurred while the cook
was getting breakfast. The cook
and houseboy had narrow escapes,
but fortunately were not seriously
hurt. The range was demolished
and the explosion started FIRE,
but it wos put out without much
trouble.
The other explosion was in the
kitchen of Mr. John Feland. The
cook heard the popping in time to
make her escape. The range was
torn TO pieces and a part of it
thrown through an adjoining door
into the library, demolishing the
book case and wrecking the furni-
ture.
Frozen pipes caused both explo-
sions.

The little fellow went to the horse
lot in which large bull was con-

him, knocking him down. The
bull then tossed him high in the air.
One of Mr.. Green's farm hands

to his assistance. The man fought
the animal off with large stick
and succeeded in rescuing the little
fellow.
The boys injuries consist of a

about the body. His condition is
not serious, however, but the
wonder is that he was not killed,

Dewey also as matter of form.
Admiraf Dewey makes separate
report. The majority report con-
dennis Admiral Schley on eleven
out of twelve points, while Admiral
Dewey sustains him in most par
ticulars.
The majority opinion finds, in
brief, that Admiral Schley should
have proceeded with the utmost
dispatch to Cienfuegos and main
tanned close blockade; that he
should have endeavor9d to obtain
information of the Spanish squad

that he should not have made the
retrograde movement; that he
should have obeyed the depart
ment's orders; that he should have
endeavored to capture the Spanish
vessels in Santiago harbor; that he
did not do his utmost to destroy the
Colon; that he caused the squadron
to lose distance in the loop of the
Brooklyn; that be thereby caused
the Texas to back; that he did In

duct in the campaign was charact-
erlzed by vacillation, dlatoriness
and lack of enterprise; that his Of

were misleading; that his conduct

own person his subordinate officers
and men to fight courageously.

says; "In the opinion of the under
