supply of water on his return. After
visit to his cousin ; he left about 9
O'Clock in the evening and went to a
we'll that furnishes water for the Italian
colony. This we'll is surmounted by Il
wooden curb about two and one half
feet high and these boards and APP
proaches to the we'll are covered with
glare of ice owing to the constant
splitting of water as it is being drawn
from the we'll. 1t is probable that Muir
gida slipped and fell head foremost
into the well. His was missed this
morning by his mate in the shanty,
Argiglio, who upon inquiring of
Murgida IS cousin learned that when
last seen he was on his way to the
well.

MAY NOT GET THROUGH.
Possibility That legislature May Hang Or
Another Week.

Montpelier, Dec. & The legisa
was slow in assembling yesterday af-
| ternoon and it was late before both
houses got down to business Much
business of importance remains to be
done this week.
1t is rumored that the legislature
will not complete its business this
week.
A bill was introduced in the house
from the ways and means committee
yesterday afternoon to enable each
senator to appoint a student to Nor
wich university whose tuition shall be
paid for by the state also providing
for an annual appropriation OF $500
for ten years for the benefit of the en-
cheering department.
The house continued it's policy of
hostility to the governor by refusing
to vote extra pay for the secretary of
civil and military afI airs and the ex-
ecutive clerk.
The house passed the bill introduc-
ed by Mr. Aitken of Woodstock, pro-
viding for an annual appropriation of
500 to the Vermont Horticultural So
ciety.
The senate passed the one introduced
by Senator Slack of Caledonia, pro
viding for the preparation and use of
caucus check lists. This provides for
filing with the town and city clerks the
official organization of municipal pol.
itical committees and for the declar-
ing of party affiliations by voters when
the listers make their annual inven-
tories.
The. bill introduced by Mr. Smith
providing for the sale by railroads of
500 mile mileage books at two cents
mile was ordered to lie in the senate.
1t is expected that the bill reducing
the membership of the railroad COM
mission from three to two and making
the office elective by the legislature,
instead of appointive by the governor
will be killed by the senate.
The weekly payment bill and the auto
mobile bill will meet with determined
opposition in the senate. The last
named measure may pass after being
amended in important particulars.
