Health.
CASUALTIES WERE 4340

DR. II. d. Holton, secretary of the
state board of health sends out the fol-
lowing which deserves general consid-
GRAFTON:
The approach of our great National
holiday is to many a source OF con-
siderable anxiety. Its celebration
last year caused 4349 casualties. The
number injured who recovered were
1898; 406 died from lockjaw caused by
Injuries. Many lost an arm or leg;
forty were rendered blind.
These accidents were caused by the
toy pistol and other explosives. In
view of these many accidents we would
warn all parents and other persons
having charge of children, of great
danger attending these explosives, and
especially of allowing children to han
die them.
However, should any accident occur
however slight, do not temporize with
1t but call your physician at once. An
tiseptics and cauterization are not
sufficient; the only means to prevent
lock-iaw is the use of Tetanus Anti
toxin.

RUSSIAN DISASTER.
Submarine Crew In Pnnic-Twenty-
one Dead.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 30.-The
submarine boat Delfn went down at
her moOrings in the Neva, off the Baltic
shipbuilding yard, yesterday, with the
loss of an officer, Lieutenant Cherkas-
Off, and twenty men.
The accident was due partly to the
excessive number Of the crew, mostly
inexperienced men, and chiefly to the
unfortunate attempt of a man to es-
cape while his comrades were screw
ing down the manhole.
The officers and men detailed for
submarine boat instruction had as.
sembled mt the Baltic yard, and three
officers 4 led to 90 down in the Del
fin, although her captain was not pres
ent, relying on the experience of her
skilled crew. A score of novices were
anxious to go with the three officers.
The Deltins nominal capacity is ten
men, instead of which thirty-tw en-
tered the boat, bringing her manhOle
in dangerous proximity to the river
level. Just then tug passed, sending
heavy wash against the boat.
SO soon as the water splashed into
the submarine boats interior It Gre
ated panic among the novices, and
one Of them tried to get out of the
manhole, which the older hands were
screwing down preparatory to the
descent, the submerging compartment
having already been opened. The wa
ter rushed in, and as the submerged
vessel sank like a stone the officers
and some Of the men We're saved by be-
ing blown up through the manhole by
the rush of escaping air. When the
Deltin shortly afterward was raised
the bodies were recovered

DROWNED IN
CHAMPLAIN
Sad Death of DR.. Mary Partridge
Yesterday.

News was received this morning of
the death in Burlington Wednesday
of DIR Mary Partridge under circum-
stances that would indicate suicide
Mrs Partridge left here Tuesday af-
ternoon for burlington where she in
tended to make her home in the future
with her son, George, practici0g
dentist in that city. She had recently
disposed of her property here.
AS far as can be learned, Mrs Par
fridge went driving, and when at a
point on Lake Champlain known as
Red Rocks, she alighted from the car
riage and told the driver to leave her
for while.
He did so and upon returning could
find nothing of his passenger, except
her coat and hat which were lying on
a bench. Later the body was found,
wedged in between two rocks in a few
feet of water.
Mrs Partridge was the widow of DR.
II. f. Partridge, who located here over
30 years ago, and who for about a
dozen years was a practicing physic-
ian. His brother was the first pastor
of the Congrc gational church at North
Bennington.
After the death of her husband some
% years ago, Mrs Partridge studied
medicine, was a graduate of the Hah-
neman college of Cleveland, Ohio, and
started practice.
For some time she had been in poor
health, and not long ago had an oper-
alton in a city hospital which, it is
said did not afford much relief.
She is survived by her mother, Mrs
Pease, over 50 years of age, and two
sons, George of Burlington, and Car
roll, who is a teacher in the Johns
Hopkins university.
She was kind hearted Christian
woman, who has always tried to do her
duty in full She broughtup her two
boys most creditably and has always
held the deserved esteem of all who
knew her Her friends are greatly
shocked and it is universally believed
that she was mentally unbalanced by
continued i'll health.
In its account of the drowning the
Burlington Free Press says;
There are unmistakable evidences
that the woman's death was premedit.
ated. She had removed her hat and
coat and placed them beside the look
out and when the body was removed
from the water a stoneweighing five or
six pounds was found in her dress poe
ket. When found her hands were
clinging to the rocks which sloped into
the lake so that her head was only a
few feet under water and her feet in
considerably deeper water.
