bruised; Louis Hubecker, Cheboygan,
Mich, head and back badly bruised. Il
Including the crew and passengers
there were about twenty-five persons
on the City Of Venice.
The cause of the collision is not
known.
There was no fog whatever and the
night was faix2y clear. The lights of
the City Of Venice were burning
brightly. To this the crew and pas
sengers all testify, saying they could
see the lights of the Venice as she
was sinking. The second mate of the
Seguin, w, A. Lavigne, who was on
watch, refuses absolutely to give any
information in regard to the way the
accident happened.
The less said about the matter the
better" was the only statement he
would make. s .s
Disaster Occurred at Midnight.
It was shortly after midnight when
the accident happened. aThe City o1

was bound to Buffalo, while the Seguin
was going north to Perry Sound from
Ogdensburg. On board the Seguin al

w. A. Lavigne, and the watchman
who was with him in the pilothouse
The first mate Of the Venice. Sullivan
was on watch aboard the boat that
went down. How the collision hap
pened cannot be ascertained, as Sui
ivan is lying in the hospital and La
vigne will not talk.
The first that was known that any
thing had happened was terrible
crash, which brought both boats al
most to standtill. The Seguin had
struck the Venice fairly amidships and
plowed its way half through the boat
The crews and passengers aboard both
boats heard tearing Of timbers, min
gled with calls for help from those al
ready on deck. All those who were
sleeping rushed out on deck and there
was frightful panic for a time. The
Venice, which had been split in two
was sinking rapidly. Captain Broder
lex ran on deck in his sleeping robes
and Immediately called to the mer
to man the lifeboats. The members
of the crew who had not. been hur1
rushed to his assistance and in five
minutes they had the boats in the
water. Several of the men, fearing
that the ship would sink before they
had an opportunity to escape, threw
themselves overheard. They were la

the Seguin. The City Of Venice wen,

Objects to Goldfish and Dead Cats.

A petition signed by nearly every in
habitant living on the Rockingham road
and Webb's Terrace near the late resi-
dence of A. E. Lamb has been presented
to the town board of health, asking that
the dump on the Lamb place now
owned by George NJ. Corey be ordered
closed.
This dump was opened by Mr. Lamb
some years ago and has been public
nuisance and disgrace to the town for
years. Complaint was made to the late
DR.. Pettingill, health officer, and he
ordered it closed, which was done, but
it was reopened after the death of DIR.
Pettingill, and it is now the common
dumping ground for anything too filthy
for the numerous dumping places about
the village. Here is partial list of the
things that the writer has seen in this
dump: Half-decayed Goldfish lin the
bale), salt pork Tin barreD, dead cats and
hens, decaying meat from markets, rot
ten vegetables, cleanings from cellars
and gardens, old mattresses and bedding
of all sorts presumably alive with moths
and vermin), and in fact almost every
thing filthy has found a ready market in
this place. Complaint has been made
several times to the present town board
of health, but for reasons best known to
themselves the dump still remains a men
ace to the health Of those living near it
and to every one passing along the high
way.
A suitable dumping ground, where all
the refuse from the village may and shall
be dumped and burned is one of the cry-
ing needs of Bellows Falls today and
should be provided by the bailiffs or
board of health, or perhaps the Board
of Trade. CITIZEN.

The GirI Who Cannot Laugh.

There are scores of individuals
We really can't adore,
But the chiefest of the number
Is the very trying bore,
Who, when you are feeling jolly
And little fun would poke
Will never see the point
Till you diagram your joke.
Ihen her eyes assume a vacant stare
Until she thinks awhile,
With great deliberation
linen she dOns faded smile.
On, 1t would be pleasure
just to write the epitaph,
ana hide away the shadow
OF the girl who cannot laugh.
How like biting frost that chills
The roses in their bloom, gul
Are sombre individuals
VINO wear cloak of gloom.
Ihey cannot comprehend the worth ~
OF just spark of fun,
Who shrink from Joy and pleasure
As The bats avoid the sun.
Inc deeper, sober thought
W ltnln the heart should have a place,
but let glad laughter now and then,
Inc care of life erase.
away with her who cannot sift
he Kernels from the chaff:
III, ms world can well wag ON without
ne girl who cannot laugh.
