admits the ability of Judge Parker, and
says Past experience would indicate
that the democratic party ought to take
a New York man for its candidate for the
Presidency. Great as this country has
grown. the fact remains that New York
is still the battle ground. No President
has been elected, in recent years, at least
who did not carry New York; and If
President Roosevelt be chosen as the
leader of his party, 1t may be considered
essential that his opponent should be a
citizen of New York. OF Ex-senator
David B. Hill. the author says: "He has,
however, many earnest and active friends
who will not allow him to sink into OBJ
seurity;. and as he is strong in the south,
as we'll as in certain sections of the west,
1t would not be surprising to find him
appear as an active rival against Judge
Parker for the support of the New York
delegation.

CROIO INSA NE.

Richard A. Hoar, who was assigned
by the court tv represent the State in
the murder trial of State VS. Croto has
received word from DR.. Hutchinson,
superintendent Of the insane asylum
at Waterbury, that Bartholomew Oroto
is insane and that he was probably in
that condition when he shot Peter
Vorrap at East Montpelier, September
Z.
Croto was indicted by the grand
jury in September and the case was to
have been tried at the September term
of Washington county court, but as
insanity was claimed in behalf of the
respondent the State wished to take
no chances in the matter and at the
request of the States attorney Croto
was taken to the asylum two months
ago for observation. Last week this
case was continued until the March
term of court, because of information
received from the asylum. On the
strength of this last report it is prob.
able that the case will never be tried
on its merits and that Croto will be
kept in confinement in the criminal
ward at the asylum.
The murder of Vorron was cold
Dlooded affair. He was on his way
home. in company with his ron, with
load of wood on the evening of Sep.

him and death resulted almost instant.

DROPPED DEAD.

Waterbury, Dec 29.-The people of
afternoon when T. B. Crossett, one of
WateIbury's Oldest and most respected
citizens, dopped dead as he was enter
ing the cemetery grounds to attend
the funeral services of Lewis Hill at
the grave. Mr.. Hill was found dead
Saturday afternoon in the hay NOW of
@. H. Haines' barn and Mr.. Crossett
had been to the Methodist church to
attend the funeral. He walked to the
cemetery, which is less than an eigth
of mile from the church, and as he
was near the entrance fell over. DR..
W. +. Minard happened to be near at
the time and picked Mr.. Crossett up
and placed him in sleigh and drove
hastily to the Crossett house, hardly
more than stones throw from where
Mr.. Crossett fell. but he was dead
before he reached home. Mr. Ores
sett had been suffering with heart
trouble for some time past and his
death was due to that.
L. B. Crossett was born in Duxbury
seventy three years ago but had lived
in Waterbury for great many years,
having been an active and highly re-
spected townsman. He was one of
family of twelve children, four of
whom survive him. He was married
uhirty-six years ago and is survived
also by his wife. He was an active
member of the Methodist church and
for many years was one of it's fore
most stewards. AS an Odd Fellow,
he was widely known throughout this
vicinity. Other immediate relatives
of the deceased are Mrs. Frank Page
of Keene, N. H., Mrs. Lotisa Watson
of Providence, X. l., Mrs. Lawrence
Turner of Olaremont. N. H., and
Julius Crossett of Aoworth. N. H.
The funeral services will be held at
the Methodist church on Thursday
afternoon at 3 O'Clock, Rev. p. A,
Smith officiating. The Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs will attend the funeral
in body and their ritual will be
used

probably SUICIDE.

Waterbury, Dec. 29-Since Lewis
Hill was found dead in the barn of O.
II. Haines on Saturday afternoon and
no announcement was made as to the
cause of his death other than that no
indications of disease could be found
in the autopsy examination, consider
able curiosity has been aroused in the
minds of the people as to the cause.
According to the Vermont laws,
druggists who sell poison to people
other than those in the medical pro.
fession are required to make record
of the date of the sale, the amount
and the kind purchased The records
at the Palmer Pharmacy show that
Lewis Hill had purchased, on Thurs
day, December "a, fifteen grains of
strychnia., A chemical analysis of
the stomach by doctors brought out
the fact that it showed large quaint
ity of strychnia sulphate.
The two and two placed together
make clear case of suicide as nearly
as can be ascertained and little doubt
now remains in the minds OF the peo-
pie as to the cause of death, although
the cause of the act is matter of con-
lecture. AS far as can be learned no
reason for the act can be imagined as
the man was in apparently the best
of health and spirits. His relatives
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in this their time of grief.

DISASNROUS FIXES
In One Week at Montpelier junction,
Barre and Middlesex.

Once again the Central Vermont
station at Montpelier Junction is in
ashes Like tiMder the flames de-
voured the pitohy southern pine of
which the building was constructed.
In twenty minutes it was reduced to
heap of burning timber.
Al about 8 40 on Monday evening
j. W. Flavin, the night telegraph op.
orator, heard cracking sound in
the partition between the office and
the waiting room Before he could
make an opening in the wall to locate
the sound the flames burst through
and swept up the PARTITION enveloping
it from cellar to garrett. Almost as
soon as the fiamse were discovered the
whole building was involved in leap
ing fire of the densest heat. From
the time that the fire was first discov.
cred the building was doomed, on &C.
count OF the material used in it's con-
struction. All that Operator Flavin
had time to do was to hastily gather
together the tickets, bills, receipts
and money and other valuables and
take them to place of safety. The
station agent, Thomas O'Brien, who
had retired, was awakened and ar
rived on the scene in time to help
Mr. Flavin remove the vsluables
Telegraphic and telephone COM
munication were cut off by the flames
almost at the onset. 1t remained for
Mrs. O. H. Pitkin, who lives near the
Junction, to notify the telegraph office
at the Central Vermont station here
of the fire. Word was at once sent
to White River Junction. Station
Agent Galliher was called who i'm
mediately communicated with the
fire department, but was informed
that there was not a sufficient water
pressure to make the use Of the hose
to advantage, possible. Mr., Gal.
liner did not think it best for them
to go to the fire with nothing but ex
tinguishers until he had learned its
exact nature. When he arrived at the
Junction, on engine No. 201, it was
evident that all that could be done
was to save as much of the platform
as possible. To this, and the safety
Of the cars that had not caught fire
Mr.. Galliher devoted his attention
Two empty freight cars that stood on
the Montpelier and Williamstown
Branch tracks were destroyed by the
flames.
The only way in which the fire
could in any liklihood catch was
from the heating apparatus in the
cellar. Operator Flavin came on duty
at Z O'Clock and neither he nor any
one else had been near the furnace
from that time till the fire occurred.
Hence, nothing can be definitely stated
as to the immediate cause of it. Fav-
ored by the amount of snow on the
roof of the lower platform and by
changing winds the section hands and
others we're able, by means of buckets
of water, to save most of the plat
form.
The Junction station seems to be
fated to destruction by fire. Three
times within the last ten years has the
station been wiped out. The first
time within the period. III May. 1885,
then again two years ago last August
and on Monday night was it destroyed
by fire. Is it, as some suggest, a
Judgment from heaven visited upon
the railroad because it does not run
its main line through Montpelier?

AS a result of chimney fires, the ho-
tel property and the home of O. @.
Ainsworth at Middlesex were de-
stroyed on Tuesday afternoon and
evening. Both the chimneys on the
east side of the hotel burned out
during the day and it was from the one
on the northeast corner of the hotel,
over the bar, that the fire resulted.
When first discovered it had burst out
into flames and there was little chance
of stopping it. The building was old
and dry and was in good condition to
furnish food for the flames. The east
side of the hotel burned and fell in
first. The fire broke out about

O'Clock in the afternoon and the east
ern side of the building was gone at
. 30 o'clock in the evening. About
a half hour later the western side fell.
One chimney and the brick first
story on che site of the old bar room
are all that stands of the building to
day. S. @. Kellogg, the manager of
the hotel, saved a good proportion OF
his furniture, etc. He was insured
for $500 in the Union Mutual Fire In
surance Co., on his household utensils,
A considerable part of his property
was saved
The general store of Il. b. Niche Is
was located in the same building
with the hotel and was burned at the
same time The majority of the
stock was saved from fire, but the
entire stock was almost ruined by
rough handling and exposure to the
weather. 1t is reported that Mr.
Nichols carried SO, 600 or "a, 600 insur
anoe in some stock companies. Stand
ing next to the hotel is the home of
@, O. Ainsworth, who also owns the
hotel property. This house was al
most totally destroyed. The house
was insured, in the Vermont Mutual
Fire Insurance Co.. for about $400
and about 81, 800 was carried by Mr..
Ainsworth on his hotel property in
the same company.

With its charred window frames
and ice covered timbers the ruins of
the Quinlen block in Barre presented
a desolate spectacle on Wednesday, as
q result of the worst fire the Granite
City has undergone since the burning
of the Currier block last spring.
The total loss in the Quinlen build
ing fire is estimated at about $50, 600
1t is almost miracle that the East
man buildinga.adjoining the Quinlen,
was not taken, too, and it probably
would have gone but for the fire wall
between, and the fact that there was
no wind to speak of On the other
side was the Miles building which
was not connected with the Quinlen
except by the millinery store of Miss
Miles, which is less than story.
The Miles building is fitted with iron
shutters and when the fire began to
blaze these were closed and no damage
by fire was done TO the building.
Water, however, flooded the cellar.
The building, which was erected
about ten years ago, was owned by W.
@. Quinlen and valued at about
$l5, 600, with insurance amounting to
about $13, 200. 1t is thought that it
cannot be repaired and is practically
total loss. Mr. Quinlen is spending
the winter in Florida.
Rogers q Grady, gentlemen's fur
nishing store and tailor shop, occu-
pied over half the lower floor; their
entire stock Of goods, valued at about
$12, 600 was nearly total loss Insur-
ance, S., 200.
o. j. Dodge, the jeweler, who oc-
cupies the other apartment on the
lower floor, succeeded in saving a
large part of his stock, which was in
sured for $4,000. George Burgess,
who had rooms on the second, also
succeeded in saving large share of
his personal effects. The tool sharp
eners' rooms, the Clan Gordon rooms
and the apartments occupied by the
Catholic Club, all on the second floor,
lost nearly everything, the Good
Templar's rooms ON the third floor
were reduced to ashes and the
knights of Pythias succeeded in saw
ing only small part of their para
phernalia, the furniture and elabor
ately decorated parlors being a total
loss. The fire resulted from an
overheated furnace.
