John Rutherford, %, employed In
Wallingford shop, was caught IN the
machinery Thursday and seriously In
iured. The lower part of his body was
paralyzed; his back and neck were IN
iured and internal injuries are feared.
Leland Clark of Chittenden was prob
ably fatally injured last week by fall
ing under a load of logs which was

A Stamford woman, formerly Mrs.
George +. Tinney, claims to be the
widow of Julius c. Anthony, cashier
of the Greylock National bank, who
died in Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. ID, leav-
ing an estate valued at nearly 500, 600.
1t was generally believed that Mr.. An
thony died bachelor and that his
property would go to his mother. The
new claimant shows certificate to the
effect that Mr.. Anthony married her
at Stamford in March, 1890.
The entire force of the employees of
the Newton & Thompson manufactur-
ing company at Brandon struck Mon
day on account of the discharge of four
teamsters. The men refused to clean
out an alley in the cellar filled with
belts and pulleys moving at high rate
of speed. This woodworking business
is practically the sole industry of For
estdale. The strikers claim that the
work demanded of the teamsters was
dangerous and should be attempted
only by men used to machinery.
The entire force, numbering 30, of
the employees of the Whiting Brush
Fibre factory of Burlington struck Feb.
%, and the mill is closed indefinitely.
The men are all members of the Brush
Fibre Union and are affiliated with the
Labor Union, which ordered the strike.
They want an increase of % per cent.
in wages, claiming that the average
weekly pay roll of each man is little
over s. and too little to live on. The
firm claims that the average weekly pay
is over 81 and that one-t third of the help
are boys and unmarried men. They
will not accede to the demands of the
union as the business could not do so
and pay.

1t is true, naturally and unavoidably

1t is true, naturally and unavoidably
true, that the annual encampments of
the Vermont G. A. r. are less largely
attended than they used to be; but we
do not believe, with the st. Adams
Messenger, that our people, or the COM
rades themselves, have lost anything
of interest in the order or its affairs.
The older and fewer in number the
veterans grow, the stronger and surer
the hold they have upon our loyalty
and love. They are the pure gold of
patriotism, proved in the crucial test
of country divided against itself re-
united by their effort. As long as our
Union stands, even after the veterans
themselves are but a memory, eyes
will continue to grow brighter and
hearts warmer with the thought of
what they did for us; and the recital of
their deeds of valor and heroism will
never lose its interest and charm.

1t seems almost beyond belief, from
the very blessedness II it, that cure
has been found for irprosy. So much
of utter hopelessness and heartbreak-

hand with this loathsome disease that
even death has seemed petty foe be-
side it. But Science is great con-
queror. We cannot safely predict as

If mouse had scuttled distractedly
through the hall the Daughters" at
Washington could not have been more
wildly excited Thursday than they
were when Mrs. Mclean withdrew her
candidacy that Mrs. Fairbanks might
be elected president general by accla-
nation. They are said to have stood
on chairs and waved their hats. Is a
generous act so rare among women as
to cause stampede? Or does human
enthusiasm always effervesce instinc-
lively in the presence of unselfishness?

Granite manufacturers of the state
have arranged with the labor unions a
schedule of wages for the next two
years, so that all danger of labor trou

with. The settlement is considered by
both sides to be one of the best ever
made in Barre. 1t means an increase
in wages to about 5000 men in the
granite region.

Basin, April 28-Judge Marcus will
never use gasoline again.
His honor is hobblng about on two
crutches, with a barrel OF iodoform dis
tributed about his person and swathed
in enough bandages to provide the mothers
OF Basin with swaddling clothes for the
summer.
II all came about this way:
The other day the judge was sitting
in Sullivan's sample room, toasting his
shins. 1t was cold, bitter cold, and the
fire was not all that could be desired
Nobody was about. His honor grew
chilier and chillior. lie looked about
bin. His glance fell upon can.
"Aha J. said his honor, with a grin /;
coal oil. Just the thing"
So he arose and, procuring the can,
proceeded TO drop little of its contents
into the fire.
When they found him his hands and
face were badly burned and his clothes
reduced to ashes.
It was not coal oil, but gasoline.
That is why his honor is sadder and
wiser man today, as he hobbies about
Basin, trying to explain his mistake.
While his burns are not serious, they
are painful and his many friends will
regret, with him, that he did not smell
OF the can before he commenced to do
things with it and to himself.
