SUICIDES AND ACCIDENTS.

Ernest H., son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Davey of Vergennes, had fatal fall
near the Office OF the National Horse
Nail company, where he was employed
as bookkeeper. The fall resulted, as
is supposed, in a fracture of the skull,
from which he died that night.
James Ward, of the firm of Ward &
Douglass, contractors, was instantly
killed at bridge rs, near Mt. Holly sta
ton, on the Rutland railroad Saturday
afternoon. Chief Engineer Parker
and a number of railroad officials were
inspecting the bridges, Mr.. Ward be-
ing with the party. Just as the special
was about to start, Mr.. Ward was
mis- sed, and, on searching, his body
was found beside the tracks, the OBJ
seryation car Nehasne evidently hay-
ing passed over him. The head was
severed from the body and was found
floating in the stream lodged against
the bank several rods away. Mr..
Ward lived in Montpelier, the firm of
which he was member having large
construction contracts in progress on
the Rutland railroad.
Albert Z. Reed died Friday morning,
Oct. "a, at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. +. B. Slate in Chester from the
effects of dose of paris green, which
he took the Monday night before. The
18th Mr. Reed left his home to go to
Bellows Falls, saying to the family
that he should not be back that night.
He did, however, go back to town
on the midnight train in very intoxi-
Gated condition and being unable to go
to his home he was taken to the lookup
and kept there till the next day.
When he came to himself in the morn
ing, he found he had been relieved of
a $50 gold watch, $50 in money and
an overcoat, evidently taken from him
before he started for Chester. Mr..
Reed was about 50 years old and day
laborer. He was member ofCo. c,
9TH Vermont Infantry, in the civil war.

Death Of Editor c. M. Chase.

Charles NJ Chase, aged IS, editor Of
the Vermont Union and a prominent
figure in Vermont journalism. died at
Lyndon Saturday, death resulting iron
a complication of diseases. He was q
native of Lyndon, the son of Gen. f.
B. Chase, and was graduated from
Dartmouth in 1858. He was admitted
TO the bar in Sycamore, ILL.,, in 1857,
where he edited the De Kalb County
Sentinel. Later he taught music in
the Ohio female college. Mr.. Chase
organized a band that served with an
Illinois regiment during the civil war.
Returning to Vermont at the close
OF the war, he established the YER
mont Union, which he has published
ever since. He is said to have origi-
mated the now universal plan OF print
ing local news under town headings.
He was Democratic candidate for
congress in 1866, and ten years later a
delegate to the national convention in
st. Louis. He had been a director OF
the Lyndon national bank and vice
president OF the Citizens Savings
bank of st. Johnsbury. Mr.. Chase is
survived by a widow and five children.

MIspEEos AND PENALTIES.

About midnight Oct. 20 the general
store and postoflice of L. Wilcox at
Moretown was broken into and some
shoes and other goods stolen A
blacksmith shop was also broken into
for the purpose of securing tools, by
which entrance to the store was
gained.
Robbers operated in three places in
Bellows Falls the night OF Oct. 80, but
they secured only a small amount OF
plumber. From the jewelry store OF
Barnard Brothers watches to the value
of $40 were taken, the hardware store
of Field Il Lawrence was robbed of
pistols to the value of S25, and from
the toolshop of the Rutland railroad
$40 worth of chisels, hammers, ETC.,
were taken.
The Office of Mulch 4 Calder on Sec
ond street in Barre was broken into
Oct. PC by burglars and an attempt was
made to blow open the safe. The bur
glars were frightened away and did
not even blow out the light. En-
trance was gained by forcing a lock,
but nothing of value was taken. IL is
thought the work was done by the
gang that burglarized stores at Rox-
bury and Putnamsyille.

VERMONT FIRES.

The farm house and barn OF Eugene
Lawyer, who lives just within the cor
poration limits on the north side OF
Richford, were burned Nov. /, The
loss is over $1,000; insurance $500 on
house. $500 on barn and $500 on
household goods. The fire appears to
have caught in the corner of the barn
next to the house, the cause being UNI
known. The fire companies respond
ed, but there was not enough hose to
reach to the nearest hydrant, which
was al the c. p. r. elevator. A por-
ton of the furniture on the first floor
of the house was saved, also a little
clothing. Nothing was saved from
the barn except an old sleigh. Had ii
not been for the barking of the dog,
which awakened the family, the result
might have been more serious.
The National Horse Nail company's
plant at Vergennes was destroyed by
fire last week. The fire is reported to
have originated near the furnace in the
boiler room. This is the most disas-
trous fire that has occurred in Yer
gennes in years. The National Horse
NAH company u one vi Tue leduln2 III
dustries of that city and had capaci-
ty of employment for about 100 men,
girls and boys, although not quite that
number were employed at the time OF
the fire. IL is thought that the COM
pany's loss in machinery and stock
will be $40. 600, with an insurance of
$1,000 The building was owned by
the Stevens estate of Vergennes and is
estimated to have been worth $4,000
or 500 and is reported TO be fully
insured. This makes the second time
that the company has been burned out,
the former fire occurring 20 years ago
the coming winter. The president of
the company is the Hon. j. G.. Hindes,
who has been interested in the COM
pany from its formation.

Safe-BIowers at Work.

About a. m. Oct. % Deputy Sheriff
Tracy of Montpelier was notified by
telephone, by way of Warren, that
three unknown men had broken into
the store OF ID. l.. Nichols at Roxbury
and blown open the safe. SCATTERING
the telephone. The night telegraph
operator was aroused, and upon his
appearance the men fed. The oper-
ator fired at the burglars three times,
but they escaped. The only clue to
the identity OF the men is hat lost by
one of them in making his escape.
Sheriff Graves later went to RoXbury
and reports that the burglars must
have used an immense amount OF eX-
plosive, as a portion of the safe was
blown into an adjoining yard. The
robbers being pressed for time did not
attempt TO clear away the debris, but
satisfied themselves with smashing the
cash register and taking 500. At IL
O'Clock Wednesday night the general
store and postoffice OF C.. G.. Putnam d.
Son at Putnamsville in the town of
Middlesex was burglarized. The mis-
creants secured admittance to the
building by prying open the door with
a chisel, and after muffling the safe
with lap robes found in the store blew
the safe open. They obtained one
hundred dollars and few pennies, the
latter from the cash register which
was broken into. The methods en-
ployed would show that evidently the
same parties who committed the rob
berry at Roxbury are responsible for
the one at Putnamsville. The explo-
sion which practically wrecked the
room was heard by several citizens
but no attention was paid to the matter
beyond fixing the time and when the
burglary was discovered at halt past
six in the morning the burglars had
six hours start.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The Woodbury. Granite Co. OF Hard,
wick, of which John S. Holden of Ben
nington is president as well as princi'
pal owner, has just completed its con.
tract to supply the granite tor the new
station of the Lake Shore terminal in
Chicago. The amount called for in
the contract was 100000. the COM
pany having nine months in which to
complete it. 1t required $50 cars to
carry the blocks, everyone of which
was inspected by a representative OF
the company ordering them, before a
block was shipped. With the exccp-
ton of some delays in procuring cars,
every block left before the contract
time. 1t was one OF the largest private
contracts ever given to a Vermont
concern.

State Normal Schools.

The report OF the board of normal
school commissioners is now in the
hands of the printer and will probably
be ready for distribution next week.
This board comprises Prof. Walter
r. Howard of Middlebury, Frederick
w. Pierce of Chester, OZias w.
Mathewson of Barre and Walter f..
Ranger of Montpelier. The report
will contain a general synopsis Of the
work OF the past two years and some
recommendation to the legislature
now in session. In part the report
is as follows:
1.-The permanent appropriation of
81, 800 for each school per year with
economy and care may pay the run
ming expenses OF the schools upon the
present basis, although wages of
teachers and expenses generally are
increasing. Therefore we shall ask
for no addition to this item. The
special appropriation of $500 for each
school, however, should be renewed,
and that amount annually, Tor it
must be borne in mind that apparatus,
books, ETC., are only useful when used,
and that use means wear and final
disappearance. We therefore recon-
mend a special appropriation of $500
per year for each school, or that the
permanent appropriation be increased
to $4,000.
ave also recommend that the
statutory limitation of free tuition to
pupils l6 years OF age be changed to
Is. This is in view of the fact that
teachers are now licensed by law at
the minimum age of II years, and if
pupils enter the normal schools at
Is years and complete a two years
course they will then have attained
the age when persons who have not
attended a normal school may receive
a teachers certificate. There seems
to be no good reason why those desir-
ing 10 attend normal schools should
not be encouraged to enter early upon
their professional preparation The
state has established these schools
and maintains them at considerable
expense, and il were pity that they
should not be fully utilized. To that
end we have extended, as far as
possible, the admission upon GER
tifcate Of graduation from approved
secondary schools and upon county
examiners certificates. We have held
examinations for admission at sum
mer schools and have advertised and
held special examinations in towns
in different parts OF the state. The
preparatory course has also con-
tributed materially to this end. The
result has been that Randolph has
gained II 2-7 per cent, johnson 80 H.
81 per cent and Castleton 81 Pill.
The financial statement of the three
normal schools of the state for the
year beginning September l, 1901, is
as follows;
Castleton Normal-Total receipts,
Sc, 926.65; total expenditures, S6,912.-

A dispatch in the daily papers says ::
1.-The attention OF Capt. Cornelius Nj.
Brownell of Burlington was called Oct.
p to the Washington special despatch
in the New York Tribune, which stat
ed that the charges that Capt. Brow
nell. when in command of Co. ID, goth
Vol. Inf, caused a Philippine priest to
be tortured, were being investigated.
Captain Brownell did not consider
that it would be proper for him 10 dis
cuss the matter, as it is in the hands
of the government authorities. Ii Is
learned, however, that this is merely
continuation of a systematic attempt
to blacken Captain Brownell's charac-
ter on the part of certain subordinates
whom the captain was under the neces-
sity of disciplining. 1t is understood
that Captain Brownell is not at all dis
turbed by the charges. 1t is known
that Captain Brownell was highly es-
teemed by the military authorities and
upon his return from the Philippines
President Mckinley appointed him as
candidate to take an examination for
a position in the regular army, which
honor, however, was declined

The Glory Of a Man
Is in His Strength
Can More Marvellous Things BE
Found
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS
Hhat One OF Barrels Very Prominent
Stone Cutters and a Member OF
the Union Has TO Say OF Ver-
monts Most Capable
Physician.

For the past eightyears | had been
q great sufferer from kidney, bladder
and liver trouble. My bowels were
very constipated and | had indiges-
i. ton so badly that many times glass
Of water would distress me. Heart
burn was an everyday occurrence, |
was very nervous and excitable and
unable to rest nights, and in fact
felt more tired in the morning as a
rule than when retiring at night. Ny
sexual organs were very much i'm
paired; in fact, | might say lost. IL |
would take a little cold my lungs
would seem to be filed with a mu-
cous, was almost constantly hawk
ing and splitting and many of my
friends feared | was going into con-
sumption. My urine was very highly
colored and | had to get up from five
TO eight times in the night.
In this serious condition | had con-
suited physicians at Fox Island, Me-,
my old home, in Connecticut, Boston,
Springfield, Mass, Barre, Montpelier
and Burlington, VT Some OF the
doctors said had Bright's disease;
Others said that | had bad case Of
cafarrh, which not only affected my
head, but my whole system; other
doctors said | was in consumption
and the only hope for me was
change of climate; while still other
physicians said that 1 had Bright's
disease, liver complaint and that |
was passing away the vital fluid OF
life in my urine.
In this serious condition, on Aug.
IL, 1901, more dead than alive, | sent
for DIR. Morrow, although my wife
and many OF my would-be friends adj
vised me not TO do so, believing that
my case was hopeless and that would
throw away my money, as in the past,
trying to get well.
About five o'clock on Aug. IL, 1901,
DIR. Morrow called at my house, gave
me the most rigid examination that |
had ever been through and then told
me that il would strictly follow his
Injections, land not listen to the jeal-
Gus know-it-alls,l that in three months
time ne would put me in condition 10
20 to cutting stone again. This
seemed almost incredible, but while
there is life there is hope, so | at once
commenced taking his treatment and
true TO his word everything that he
told me came TO be true.
NV full health and manhood have
ben sestored and today | am the
fafher Of as sweet a little baby boy in
perfect health as believe ever lived.
while | am well aware that there
are many jealous people that would
try and have a poor sufferer stay away
from DR. Merrow, even if they knew
they could be cured, nevertheless |
make this true statement for the good
OF suffering humanity AMI in justice
to the man who has saved my life.

questions concerning my case, either
In person or by letter. Ny residence
