THE PACE MURDER.

Weston, Mass, April l7.-So ex-
traordinary is the murder of Miss Ma
bel Page that yesterday States Attor-
ney- General Herbert Parker, making a
move unprecedented in the history
of the commonwealth, took it upon
himself to visit the scene of the crime,
to make close scrutiny of the prem
Uses and to examine personally the
members of the Page household. He
was accompanied by District Attorney
Sanderson of Middlesex county and
Joseph Shaw, chief of the Massachu-
setts district police. The day was
otherwise made notable by the active
participation of five members of
the State police, instead of two as
formerly, the assignment of additional
detectives being made upon the rec
ommendation of Governor Bates. The
police said last night: eve are no
nearer a solution of the mystery than
we were Yesterday

Locomotive" by Angus Sinclair, O.
E., of New York. These articles
cover the early period OF locomotive
construction in New England. Among
Mr.. RUSSELL illustrations is one of the
famous Morrill, engine Joseph
Clark" the first one of series of IL
built at the old Vermont Central
shops at Mortified, VT, in the early
COS. 1t bore the name of the Hon.
Joseph Clark of Milton, one Of the
first stockholders and for long time
a director of the company. The en-
CINE for a long time pulled way
freight between Burlington and
White River Junction. The history
of the engine is an interesting one.
One of the stories told in connection
with her career in Vermont has its
scene in Jonesville when the engine
ran off an open switch, passed through
a rocky cut at that place and into the
river. Both the firemen and engineer
escaped and the engine was later raised
and sold to the Canadian Pacific road
The workmanship OH these old engines
was something fine, famous artists be-
ing employed in painting landscapes
and decorative designs and the
machines were given as much atten-
ton as the most valuable race horse
OF the present day. Mr.. Russell is An
authority on old locomotive engines
will contain drawing of the old
Governor Smith," an engine of the
same class but OF more elaborate
workmanship.

ASK MORE WAGES.

A demand has been made on the
Montpelier granite manufacturers by
the polishers and Jumpers through
their union tor an eight hour day
and an increase Of 20 per cent in
wages to take effect May 1. A SIM
liar demand was made year ago
which was refused and as the granite
manufacturers of Montpelier are mem
bers of the Barre Granite Manufact-
urers' Association, which has an agree
ment with its men running for five
years. it is probable the demands will
receive little attention. The polishers
asks for minimum wage OF 81 . cents
per hour, same as the minimum wage
for cutters, and the Jumpers ask for
81 cents per hour, double time on
holidays and Sunday, and time and a
half for overtime. The polishers are
now averaging about 80 cents and
Jumpers 20 cents an hour.

20 other churches added 10 or more by

ball team of st. Johnsbury appeared

Only one game was lost to Vermont

by Lawrence and Manchester of the
New England league. 1t is claimed
by many to be the fastest team in
Northern New England, and it is I'M
doubtedly the fastest team in the
State. They have claimed the State
championship, and there seems to be
no team willing to meet them on a

their right to the title. This is the
fourth season the men have played
together, and they have been i'm

A MINERS TROUBLE.
REACHES A CLIMAX AFTER YEARS OF
SLOW DEVELOPMENT.
A Settlement Happily Effected in
the Case of Henry Story in
Time to Avert a Serious
Misfortune.

If all the troubles of the coal miners
could be adjusted rs satisfactorily
as that which for many months dis
turbed the happiness of Mr.. Henry
Story. of 532 Muskingum avenue,
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, it would be most
welcome relief tol both the men and
their families.
The miners form q large and i'm
portant part of our population, and
they will be greatly interested in the
solution which Mr.. Story found for a
difficulty in which any one Of them
may find himself at any moment, as
it is frequent incident in the min
ers's occupation and serious him
dIance to his success.
The facts of the case we're related
by Mrs. Story, who was deeply con-
cerned, and who is very happy woman
today because her husband has had
such fortunate escape from the ca
lamity that threatened him.
my husband" says Mrs. Story,
'is very hard working man and has
always been very healthy. but some
months ago rhematisn got hold of
him, and made him suffer terribly,
and would soon have used him up if
it had not been for DR.. Williams
ibh IliiS lor Ihie Ieople, Wu'cn,
We think, are the best medicine in
the world.
He suffered SO much in his legs
that he could hardly stand; his back
hurt, and he had such pain in his
left arm that he could not rest night
or day. His arm would turn numb
and l would have to rub and battle it
in hot water. / tried everything l
could think Of to give him relief CAT
last he went to doctor, who told
him that his trouble had come from
hard work. The doctor gave him
some medicine, but it did not do any
good.
Sin the meantime 1 picked up a
papre and read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and thought
my husbands trouble might be with
his nerves. l got two boxes of the
pills for him and had to urge him
| to take them, because he had always
been so healthy that he was not in
| the habit of taking medicine.
LATTER he had taken the first box
he felt much better, and when he had
| finished the second box he was better
still. So / bought six boxes the next
time and he took four of them, that
is six boxes In all. That is three
months ago and he has never had al
ache or painsince and can do a hard
days work with any young man.
We praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills tC
all our friends. -
These famous pills cure all diseases

and OF the nerves such as neuralgis
and partial paralysis They effect rad.
ical cures in obstinate maladies, be.
cause they go to the root of the
trouble, expelling all poisons from

elements that repair wasted tissue

gists. A special booklet on Nervous
Disorders, or on Diseases of the

LABORERS, KEEP AWAY.

Seattle, Wash, April 8.--In tele-
gram to this city Mayor Bard of Nome
warns laboring men to keep away
from that district. This telegram states
that organized labor in Nome desires
to spread broadcast the news that
there are enough skilled mechanics
and laborers in all branches there to
care for all the work on hand. The
need is for capital and business men OF
ability. The country offers more op.
portunity for them than ever before,

PROBABLE SUICIDE.

William Shepard, who resides in
the town of Middlesex, was found
dead in his bed on Thursday and it is
thought he committed suicide. He
was fifty-six years Of age and had
been suffering for the past six years
with shaking palsy and been unable
to do any work. This is thought to
have been the cause Of his act He
lives alone with his wife and has one
daughter, Mrs. HI. O. Jones, who was
stopping at the house at the time. He
was found in his bed room early this
morning and bottle containing a
little chlorofo1m was found ON the
table near his bed. 1t is probable he
took the ohloroform in the night. He
had saturated piece of cloth with it
and lain down on the bed pressing the
cloth which he laid on the pillow,
against his nose.

that Prof. Schmidt, an eminent throat

TOOK MORPHINE.

Northfeld, April 7.-Grant Tenn
| pleton, carpenter, who resides on
Union street in this town, was
thought to be breathing his last early
yesterday afternoon as result OF
having taken large dose of morphine,
but the chances for his recovery at
this writing are considered about even
by the physicians.
A young girl by the name of Kent,
who did the house work for Mr..
Templeton came to the house about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and upon
going to the bedroom found Mr..
Templeton gasping on the bed. The
little girl was startled and immedi-
ately notified her father of what she
had seen. Mr.. Kent summoned DR..
j. H. Judkins who was soon on the
spot He could see that poison had
been taken and Immediately began to
treat the patient accordingly. He
thought from appearances it was prob
able Mr.. Templeton had taken the
dose about noon. Little hopes of his
recovery were entertained and it was
thought he might die at any minute.
Along about night, however, he began
to revive slightly and this morning it
was thought he had an even chance Of
recovery. His wife, who works at
the Union House in Montpelier, was
notified and came last night, also
Clyde Templeton, of the firm of Reed
q Templeton, who is half brother.
A bottle which had contained 80
pocket of Mr.. Templeton and it is
thought he must have taken the full
dose. He left note where his wife
could find it to the effect that he had
made an attempt on his life but the
exact contents are not known.
Mr. Templeton was the father of two
children under ten years old. The
story which is told of the case is a
sad one. 1t is rumored that Mrs.
Templeton had left her husband in
Northfield because she did not like
her home and came to Montpelier to
work. 1t was understood that she
had said if he would make her a good
home she would come back to live
with him. The house did not belong
to Mr. Templeton but he started in to
fix up the place himself to the best of
his ability. He had just completed
his efforts and came to Montpelier on
Tuesday to try to get his wife to come
back. She refused however, and he
returned to Northfield disappointed
and Respondent He has acted un-
naturally for the past few days and
this is thought to be the final cause of
his rash act
Later-Mr. Templeton died at noon
today. He was "a years of age, Sep
etember 81. He is survived by wife
and two boys aged 6 and 8, mother
and two sisters one of whom resides
in California and the other in the
southern part of this State. Mrs.
Lewis H. Pollard and Mrs. W. H.
Pollard of Montpelier are half-slsters.

in favor almost to man of Judge
Parker of New York as the Democratic
standard bearer for President, and the
sentiment seems to be growing daily
in this direction. The men who
few weeks ago were saying some good
things for Mr.. Hearst are now slowly
but surely acknowledging that the
Hearst sentiment is not SO apparent as
it was earlier in the campaign Not
withstanding the fact that in Bur-

strong there is little talk among tn EN-
