CAUGHT IN THE SHAFTlNG.
Paper Mil-Leaves Wife and Three
Children in Bristol, NJ. n.

dstressingly fatal accident occurred
at the mills of the International Paper
company Tuesday morning a little after
10 O'Clock, whereby a millwright lost his
life in a shocking manner. c. Aaron
Southland, AZ, came here from Bristol, y.
H. in September to work for the COM
pany, leaving wife and three children
there. He expected to move them here
as soon as a desirable tenement could be
found. In the small pulp room No. ..
underneath the office of Edward Barrett,
MI Southland, in company with l.. Y.
Clifford, was arranging for putting a new
hanger into the ceiling over a rapidly re-
vo'ving shaft. Both were standing on a
staging near the top of the room, South
ard on one side of the shaft and Clifford
on the other. Without warning Mr.
Southard's clothing caught and wound
up around the shaft carrying the body
of the unfortunate man with 1t. He
struck Mr.. Clifford as he came over the
first time, nearly throwing Mr.. Clifford
from the staging. The shaft was revolv-
ing about 100 times per minute and it was
two or three minutes before it could be
stopped. When this was done, nearly
every bone in the body was broken and
both limbs entirely whipped off near the
body-a CHASTITY spectacle The whole

ments. His family We're notified and the

Station.

If anyone thinks that there is not
something doing " at the railway sta

with planking, granite curbing, gravel,
Italian laborers, etc The north end of
the building is torn out. the hole being
covered with canvas Many of the tracks
in the yard are torn up, while the cleo
trio road track is impossible there, in
process of being lowered about IS inches.
The work of putting in granite curbng
all around the platform is nearly done and
the foundations are being put in for the
a 10-foot addition to the southeast end of
the building. An examination of the
architects plans show that the entire
northwest end of the first or ground
floor will be given up to the restaurant.
Their space is the full width OF the build
ing and about 25 feet long A partition
separates this from the general waiting
room, which occupies the middle of the
building, with doors opening into it near
both sides of the station. Seats run
across the waiting room and around the
part which will be where the ladies' wait
ing room has been The closets occupy
the space where the baggage room and
a part of the telegraph office now is
The entire addition of ten feet to the
southeast end of the station is to be
given up to the baggage room, with doors
on the side and both ends. The old wall
on the end of the station remains where
1t now stands, and the windows will be
bricked up and no door cut through
The ticket office is to be located about
where the gentlemen's closet now is, fac
ing the opposite direction from at pres
ent. In the second story, the entire
northwest end is to be taken by the tele-
graph offices, and the entire southeast
end by the offices of the American Elk
press company. The space between is
TO be divided into eight rooms, of which
the restaurant will control six. The 10

lance of the bridge across the canal, near
the tunnel Canopy tops are to be placed
over the entire platform except the walk
across the southeast end of the building
and across the roadway at the crossing.
The roof of the building is to be changed

Commissioner of Pensions Ware says
that it will cost the government about
$25, 600. 900 year if the proposed new
pension law should be enacted, adding
200 900 pensioners to the roll 1t is
said the Grand Army will push their
campaign for more pensions, during the
session of Congress this winter This
proposed action is in harmony with the
resolutions of the annual encampment
The Grand Army wants Congress to en-
act a law giving a pension of $l2
month to every surviving soldier who
served ninety lays in the Civil war and
received an honorable discharge. Some
of the veterans want the widows and
children of the ninety-day soldiers PEN
stoned. 1t is said there are now about
5000 survivors of the army of the
Union who fought in the rebellion
Only about 20 per cent. of these persons
entitled to pensions care to avail them
selves of the governments bounty.
Many soldiers are comfortably situated
financially, and others scorn to receive
bounty at the hands of a pension system.

Cause Found for Mysterious Disease.

For the past twenty years the residents
of certain portion of Montana have
been terrorized every spring and summer
by the appearance of deadly and mys-
FERROUS disease. For score of years it
has baffied the skill of the best physicians
to define it, and. while 1t carried off hun
dreds to the grave after short and dis
tressing sickness no one was able to To-
cate its cause or check it's ravages
The infected section lies in the valley
of the Bitter Root River, in western
Montana. One of the most peculiar fea-
lures of the disease is that it has always
been confined to the west bank of the
BITTER Root River, no cases having been
known to occur in persons on the east
side OF the river who had not a short
time previously visited the west side
The infected locality extended along the
banks of the river for a distance of fifty
miles. Occasionally a case has been re-
ported in other sections, but the epidemic
has always been on the banks of Bitter
Root River
The disease finally became such a seri
Gus matter that Dr. Wyman, surgeon
general of the marine hospital. recently
sent Dr. John f. Anderson to the local
ity to make thorough investigation.
After working there several months he
located the cause of all the trouble. He
found 1t in the person of a tiny tick of a
orally. In every case of the dread dis
ease he learned that there had been a
tick bite about one week before the sick
ness began. In explanation for the To-
calization of the disease on one side of
the Bitter Root River Dr. Anderson
says that the tick is unable to travel any
great distance, unless carried on some
person or object, Again, it is unusual
Tor TICK to bite person and not be dis
covered IN short while, and the result
Is the death of the tick. DR.. Anderson
has named the disease tick fever, al
though IL had been known generally as
spotted fever. The first symptoms of
the disease appear in about seven days
after being bitten, in the shape of a dis
tlnct chill with fever. This lasts for
eight or ten days Eruptions appear on
the third day and gradually cover the
entire body with the exception of the
face, They are bright red spots, from
which the disease took its name. The
percentage of deaths is very high.

IMPROVEMENT AT NORTH wALPoLE
The Work OF Rebuilding the Under
passes and Of Changing Bridges and
Rnadwavs Nearly COMPLETED.

The work of putting in three under
passes for teams and one foot-pass under
the tracks of the Boston Il Maine rail-
road in North Walpole, while still far
from completion, is getting along rapid
w. The abutment at the eastern end of
the Boston q Maine bridge is nearly
done as far as masonry is concerned ana
the underpass near it. y long retaining
wall about % feet high extending from
n few feet outside the abutment of the
bridge over the river to the abutment OF
the dry bridge. is completed. The
granite dam extending from the eastern
abutmeut of the bridge to the pier in the
river, is entirely finished. The foot-path
under the dry bridge is to be raised live
feet above the roadway in order that it
may be dry at all times. Attempts are
now being made to put in some sort of
drainage system that will keep the road
free Of water at all times of the year.
This is work of some difficulty as at its
lowest point the roadway is several
feet lower than the high water mark of
the river
The foot-path under the tracks, oppo-
site the school buildings is in the form
of tunnel with openings and solid stone
stairs east of the spur track to the lower
yard west of the main lines, and be
tween the two sets of tracks. The work
at this point is entirely complete except
the buildings over the entrances. and has
been nearly as expensive as the under
pass near the Boston & Maine bridge
owing to the great length of the tunnel
rhe stone work and bridge is entirely
completed at the underpass next north
of this but the filing and grading for the
highway is still unfinished. The northern
underpass. little this side of where
Dutchman's Crossing was located, is
entirely done. This is stone arch
bridge.
The only bridge now disable for pedes-
TRANS and teams is the one near the
bridge over the river. All the work has
been done in a very substantial manner,
evidently looking to the future growth of
the village. and does away with every
crossing for over two miles on the main
line of the Boston & Maine north from
the Bellows Falls station. The North
walpole people are not yet fully recon-
ciled to the changes but they are begin
ming to see the improvement.
