Y. NJ. g. Il. EXHIBIT.

The trustees of the NJ. G. A. art
gallery are fast getting the photo
graphs, engravings and antiques of the
late Thomas w. Wood moved into
rooms chosen at the art gallery, and
in few days expect to have every
thing ready for public exhibition.
A bout fifty famous works of his have
already been placed in the art room.
In this list are seven large portraits
of prominent men, among whom are
j. @. Houghton, Senator Morrill, and
Mr. Wood himself. There are also
several drawings of Montpelier lin her
early days; one of these is dated Au-
gust, 1855, and shows Seminary Hill,
before any house was built upon it.
The old State house, lower State
street, lined with small trees, and the
old arch bridge are interesting as COM
pared with the same scenes today.
In the exhibit room, are all sorts
and conditions of etchings, engrav-
ings, portraits and good sized art
library. A large mahogany table, for
which the trustees of the estate have
been offered over 500, is placed here
to be kept on exhibition and not sold.
Among the old art books is one in
particular which is indeed interest
ing, dated 1749. The book is soma
two feet square, and contains descrip-
tions and tables of the skeleton and
muscles Of the human body, translated
from the Latin. In the same rooms
are also found portraits of renowned
French, English and Dutch artists, all
the work of Mr.. Wood.
An interesting little notebook is also
ON exhibition which was carried by
Mr.. Wood on one of his recent foreign
trips and in which the artist has hast
lily sketched places of interest visit
ed by him. One in particular that
the writer noticed, was a clear but
we'll defined sketch of MORO Castle,
drawn by the artist on his seventy
seventh birthday. Aside from the
work of Mr. Wood, there are on exhi-
bition here also many of his personal
effects, including draperies, couches,
bureaus, easels, etc. Probably the
most interesting of these is large
old-fashioned time piece, standing over
seven feet in height, and supposed
in good running condition.
Below, IN the gymnasium, are found
| dishes, bed clothes, blankets, beds,
| crookery, furniture, tinware, iron
kettles, and few pictures, all of
which were formerly at Athenwood,
will be sold at auction on Wednesday
! afternoon, the proceeds being used to
| fit up Athenwood, the home Of the late
| artist None of the articles in the art
room and exhibit rooms, however,
| are to be sold, bat the proceeds of the
| exhibit are to be used to beautify the
rooms, and enlarge the exhibit.

HORRIBLE, IF UE.

A hearing is being held at Barton
in regard to Bloomington affair
which took place last June, in which
three older boys tortured a young SON
OF Mr.. canning by running him
through fire barefooted and throw
ing him down and jumping on him
June 23, from the effects Of which he
died, July A, The case is prosecuted
by States Attorney Albert W. Farman
of Newport The boys under arrest
are Alba Day, Raymond Adams and a
Waterman boy. The boy who died
was Rolf Earle Canning, aged eight
years, and was the youngest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Canning Of Browning
ton and the affair happened near the
schoolhouse where the parties con-
cerned were attending school. The
Newport Express and Standard says of
| the affair: If the story drifting
around the country is true, there is
case of suppressed news in Brown
ington which, if told, would match
we'll with some of the dark pages of
western fiction or bloody records down
south. 1t is reported that three boys,
all old enough to know better, took
another boy, younger than themselves,
and, after subjecting him to torture
over a slow fire threw him to the
GROUND. and jumped upon him until
he was a mass of bruises, and from
the effects of which he died in few
days. We refrain from giving name
as the story may be exaggerated; but
if true, or even half true, it should bt
matter for investigation.

THE NEW BRIDGE.

Woodsvilie, N. H., July 27.-The
stone work for the new Boston q
Maine combination railroad and high
way bridge across the Connecticut
from this place to Wells River is pro-
crossing rapidly. This part of the
work is being done by Ellis and Buzz
zell, the Boston contractors The
bridge is to be a splendid specimen of
steel bridge work with the railroad
tracks above and the team section I'M
derneath. 1t will be operated under
the same conditions that prevail at
present, the>railroad reaping the BEN
efits of the toll system. AS it is stated
on good authority that the Boston &
Maine received So, 500 from this source
last year it will be seen that this is
no lnconsiderable item.
While the new bridge is in process
of erection the railroad tracks will be
supported by a temporary trestle, and
it is expected that about six months
will be required to complete the struc-
ture.

West Burke, July 27.-This peace
full village is stirred up over the sud-

here about four weeks directing an
entertainment given by the band July
IS. Rehearsals were held nightly,
and Annie Colby and Annie Silsby
had leading parts, Those young
ladies fell in love with the city actors
and the affair eliminated Thursday
afternoon when Miss Colby called for
Miss Silsby and the two went off to-
gether, leaving word for Mrs. Silsby
that they had gone to make a call
They then hid in the bushes until
they were joined by the young men,
who came along in double team.

Mrs. Silsby had gone to her daughter s
room, where she found letter saying
that Annie had gone away to get
married.
Mr.. Silsby and Mr.. Colby started
after them toward Lyndonville, tele-
phoning deputy sheriff in Lyndon
vile to stop the marriage. But
twenty minutes before the deputy
sheriff arrived at the parsonage the
knot was tied by the Rev. J. @. Bod
well, the Congregational pastor at
Lyndonville. The young men had
obtained marriage licenses the night
before of the town clerk of Burke,
from which it appears that Woodley
was % years old and Strong 81
Both girls were about 10 years old,
Miss Colby being a recent academy
graduate and Miss Silsby school
teacher. The married couples return
ed to West Burke, where they were
met by enraged parents and crowd
of indignant townspeople. Mr.. Sils-
by knocked Mr.. Strong down and
took his daughter, now Mrs. Strong,
home with him. Mrs. Woodley was
at first unwilling to leave her has
band, but finally decided to return to
her old home. Later large crowd
gathered around the place where the
young men were staying and threat
ened to lynch them if they did not
leave town. The actors decided to
. leave, and came as far as Lyndon
vile, but returned the next day to
West Burke to await developments,
though they are not living with their
newly made brides.
Later both men left West Burke fol-
parts unknown to avoid public indig-

Adliard. Vincenzo, Vanutelli, Satolli

the high officials of the Vatican.
The ceremonial was of splendid
character, the Sistine choir rendering
it's selections amid clouds of incense.
The Roman people who have no rev.

now are twenty-five to one against
Rampolla, fifteen to one against Van

placed on Gotti at ten to one. Gotti's
odds are now declining. Odds against

NEW ROADM1STER.

Wells River, July 27.-The many
changes in official positions on the
Boston and Maine system has resulted
in the promotion of one of the younger
men of the road to the important part
of roadmaster on the White Mountain
division. The new official is L. j.
Gree, Wheelock boy, and brother of
Assistant Superintendent George w.
Gree of the st. Johnsbury and Lake

served for several years in the en-
gineering department of the Boston
and Maine, Passumpsic division.
From there he Unsupported assistant
roadmaster of the Connecticut river
division with headquarters at Spring
field, Mass.
Mr.. Gree had an opportunity to show
what was in him during the track
mems strike on the Maine Central
about two years ago. That road was
badly crippled by the trouble and it
was impossible to find trained work
men to take the strikers places. Fin
ally Mr.. Cree with about hundred
Italian laborers was sent to 40 the
work and he did it. The strike was
soon broken and when the men re-
sumed work Mr.. Gree returned to his
regular duties. The Boston and Maine
was not unmindful of this service,
however, and when the opportunity
came Mr. Cree was elevated to an
office which carries with it a deal of
important responsibility. The new
roadmaster will begin his duties on
August and his headquarters will be
at Woodsville.
