I The explosion of acetelyne gas in the | South Woodstock Baptist church few | weeks ago and which nearly wrecked the building, is recalled by many who read of the same in the news dispatch
 es. Rev. l.. J. Bamberg formerly of Fair Haven, who was pastor of the
 church until few months ago. put in
 the gas machine for lighting the church, and the machine was his own invention It now appears that the church was set on fire and the explosion occurred after the flames reached the chemicals, the
 fire burning through the box surround
 ing the machine, So 1t appears that
 MT. Bamberg's system of lighting was
 not at all responsible for the explosion,
 Towards repairing the church South
 bridge church has contributed fifty dol
 lars five hundred dollars from be-
 quest and four hundred dollars ob-
 tained in insurance so nearly a thou
 sand dollars will be available for the
 repairs. Several of MT. Bamberg's
 friends in Fair Haven have been to the
 church while visiting him, and they will
 be glad that the funds are available to
 repair the building A letter to MT.
 Bamberg, recently written, gives par ticulars of the fire. and is as follows.
 Your letter received and will say in reply that the church was set on fire by some miscreant unknown to us. No one knows who did 1t but the guilty one, and probably never will know
 The fire was set by the corner of the box holding the gas machine and the post near to the corner of it, and under the partition and north of the north door into the auditorium It was on fire in the partition there and it went almost to the top of the church. They cut a hole in the ceiling in the gallery and poured water down till the fire was extinguished.
 The fire burned through the box sur rounding the machine, and that is what caused the explosion.
 The carpsnters say it can be repaired but it don't look as though it could be done very easily or quickly. There is a large crack by the chimney and in all probability it will have to be torn out to make the chimney safe; every win dow in the house. up stairs and down, was shattered and the seats, all but seven, were torn up, and the floor is raised in places The south side down below was blown out about foot on the ground from the sill, and it is ruin sure. It may be a good thing that there was an explosion, for if it harn't been for that the house would have burned up. and it probably wouldn't have shone out much till every one was abed, Just before the explosion Mrs. Frissell and Mrs. Louise Randall were out, and they saw fire flash there at the church, and that was when the fire reached the ma chine, The post near the machine was burned two-thirds off, No fire had been built to warm the church for three weeks. In all probability whoever built the fire didn't expect to have it go off so soon so AS to make clean work of if.

CHARGED With Malpractice.

Probably the most interesting case
to be tried at the March term OF Chit
tenden county court which convenes
in Burlington March 5, is that OF
John S. Wilkins, adm, of Burlington,
vs.. W. W. Brock and L. K. Rossele.
1t is set for trial by the attorney on
both sides.

death of his wife brought about by
the alleged malpractice of an osteop.
athist. DR.. W. W. Brock of Mont
pelier, being the principal defendant,
The plaintiff alleges that his wife,
Lucy A Wilkins, was ill October /,
1898, and the defendants were EN-.
ployed at Montpelier to cure her. In
stead of doing 40, Mr.. Wilkins claims
they "pulled hauled, wrenched. beat,
bruised and i'll treated her," ard
pulled from their natural place mus
Giles, bones, ligaments, and nerves,
to such an extent that the woman
could not stand on her feet and later
died.
The defendant, Brock, pleads that
he is a graduate of the American
School of Osteopathy at Kirksv lie,
Mo-, and that the treat ment of osteo
pathy consists in the application OF
mechanical and physical therapusis,
of scientific manipulations at the
hands of the operators or practitione r
of such parts of the human body IS
may be in need of treatment, and the
proper handling, and the adjustment
of such tissues of the body found ne
cessary. He pleads that it is not
pulling, hauling, etc." as alleged,
but treatment necessary under the
science.
The action is for $4,000. The
plaintiffs attorneys are B. E. Billiard
OF Hardwick, V. A. Billiard and Seneca
Haselton of Burlington, and E. A.
Heath of Montpelier. Dillingham;,

Monkeys

Gall well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption wascarry-
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.
If you have it or are threaten
