SUICIDES AND ACCIDENTS.

As William Hoffman of Craftsbury,
in the employ of Graham & Skinner,
was chopping in the woods Oct. 20 a
falling limb struck him on the head,
inhicting wound from which he died
in few hours.
Harry Ainsworth, while drawing
last blocks Oct. 22 over a rough place
some distance from Hardwick, was
thrown from his load and one wheel
passed over him, breaking both legs.
One leg was so badly crushed that
amputation was necessary.
Mrs. Z. B. Corley OF Burlington was
in her sewing room Friday evening,
the 2lsr, with her three children and
had occasion TO leave for a moment.
During her absence the children leaned
on the table and overturned a lamp.
The oil spread and caught fire, while
the cries of the children brought Mrs.
Corley to the room. She Immediately
seized a rug and tried TO smother the
blaze. Three rugs and a cape were
used and after the oil on the table had
ceased to burn the rugs took fire.
Mrs. Corley then opened one of the
and pushed the rigs through
the screen. She had partially succeed
ed in her efforts when her skirt took
fire. Just then two plumbers who
were at work across the way rushed
into the room and succeeded in throw
ing the rugs to the ground.

VERMONT FIRES.

The farm buildings of Fred c. Gale.
situated on the Hinsdale, n. H., road
about two miles south of Brattleboro.
were destroyed by fire Oct. l6, the
loss amounting to about $500. The
fire started from an oil heater that
had been placed in the bath room on
the ground floor.
The Northern Chemical works al
Concord were burned to the ground
Oct. II. The property was insured
for $4,000, which does not cover the
loss. The plant was established about
a year ago by two Lyndonville boys.
Norton and Ben Lyster, and produced
wood alcohol and creosote and similar
products. The company had already
got good trade and were about to en-
gage in a manufacture of charcoal on a
larger scale.

a sinecure, the duties inconsiderable
and the value to the state practically
nil.
II cannot be denied that the public
has some right to that opinion. but
the trouble is the opinion was founded
years ago and the public has not noted
the improvement of recent time.
The railroad commission is not sub
servient to the railroads as at present
constituted. IL is probably as fearless
and Independent as any tribunal could
be short of the supreme court. Its
examinations are carefully and fairly
conducted. and its findings reflect the
truth. The commissions report
shows that 1t has done much Tor the
public of late in securing better rail-
way facilities and accommodations, as
well as increasing the element Of
safety. II should receive credit de-
served. Ii could do more if given
more power, but how 10 do that with
out infringing rights or doing more
harm than good is a problem.
Taking the commission as it is, we
believe it is worth what it costs. 1t
serves the public by giving quick and
cheap, if partial. redress for griey-
ances against the railroads. If the
board, instead of being a creature of
patronage, could be elected by the
joint assembly, there would be less
heard of its political importance, and
much OF the prejudice against it would
pass away.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The proposition to abolish the rail-
road commission is again up and re-
ceives support in some quarters.
We believe the work and duties OF
this commission are really less under

OF any board constituted by the state.
The popular idea is that the railroad
commission exists with the thorough
approval and sympathy of the railroad
corporations OF the state. whose bid.

SCIATIC TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY Mr. MARSTON As

For Six Months He Gould Not Turn n

Most sufferers from the acute and per-

Senator Proctor's reelection was a
foregone conclusion, so firmly in

correct estimate of his value to the

there are at present few signs of abate-
ment, continue throughout the full
term to which he has Just been chosen.

Probably the assembly OF 1902, when
it voted the bounty on hedgehogs,
didn't think it was endangering the
whole bounty system. 1t had Just that
effect, however. The large sums
claimed under it created resentment
that extended to the entire list OF
bounties, and they have been swept
out in toto. In this view, the hedge
hog bounty was a success.
