SHOT AT MOTORMAN.
An Eccentric Man Fired at Him While On His
Car

NsdIs
Rutland, Aug S.-A narrow escape
from injury and possible death was
experienced by Motor u,L Luther c..
Kinney, who left this city on the first
car for Lake Bomoseen about 6:3O
O'Clock this morning. just as the car
was entering the tunnel by which the
line runs beneath the Delaware & Hud-
son railroad this side of Casthton,
Kinney saw aman who had been stand
ing in the field a short distance away
pull up gun and fire directly at the
car. AS the trigger was pulled Kin
ney dropped down behind the shelter
of the car front.
His move was not made a moment
too soon for he heard the shot sing as
they swept over his head and became
embedded in the woodwork of the car.
The car was hustled into Cestleton
and the officers there notified of what
to be deliberate attempt at
murder. Several men we're soon in
search of the man with the gun who
had hurried from the spot as soon as
he shot. II was learned from witness
es OF the affair that the man resided in
that section and had always been con
sidered more or less unsafe, although
he had never been confined in any in
s.itution for the insane.

SKELETON IN GRAVEL PIT.
Discovery Made on Site Of Old Tory Camp In
Manchester

Manchester, Aug. 8. While digging
in a gravel pit on his farm near this
village, N. NJ. Garfield unearthed the
skeleton of man. The discovery
was made about three feet below the
surface. The skeleton which was in a
good state of preservation, was doub-
led up, and it would seem that it had
been buried hurriedly, 1t is of man
abont six feet tall.
Mr. Caufeld's farm was owned by
the late Governor Skinner, and the To-
cality where the discovery was made
was the sight of famous tory camp
during the Revolutionary War. 1t
is believed that the skeleton is that of
one of the tories or some captive.
Another theory is that it may be the
body of an Indian.

MRS B. T. HENRY.
An Obituary of One Whose DsaIh was Mourn
ed BY All.

Nu Dy fNis
Mrs B. II. Henry of Riverside.
whose death last week brought keen
sense of personal loss to all who had
come under the influence of her grac-
ious personality, was the daughter of
a family in whose history she ever took
pride.
Her father, Squire L. Allen, known
and honored by many in North Ben
nington, came of fine old Revolution
airy stock. and claimed relationship
with "Parson" Allen of Pittsfeld Eth
an Allen and Nathan Hale. Jane Boz
vie, the mother of Mrs Henry, also
came of a family of Revolutionary
soldiers, and could trace her ancestry
back to the Huguenots.
Jennie Clara Allen, their daughter,
was born in South Williamstown. but
passed her girlhood in Pittsfeld,
" here when very young she suffered
the loss of her mother. She was cared
for by devoted elder sister till the
time Of her father marriage to Miss
Mary Doty of North Bennington.
Her education was received in Pitts
field. At one time she was student
in Maplewood seminary, where she re-
ceived instruction from Prof Blodgett
now of Smith college. Being unusu.
ally fond of children, she became in
terested in teaching and took up that
work in a private school in New York
City, where she remained until her mar
riage to Bertine r. Henry in 1881.
She came as a bride to Riverside,
over which home she has presided with
rare grace for over 20 years, doing
m uchto make the old Henry home
stead famous for its hospitality. Few |
homes have surpassed this one in min |
istering to those in need of sympathy, |
rest or good cheer and there are many
among both the living and the dead
who have had reason to think CRATE
fully of that peaceful home
Mrs Henry's interest in the church
was lifelong. Ie her girlhood she uni
ted with the First Baptist church of
Pittsfeld, of which her father was
clerk for 40 years. During her resi-
ience in New York, she was actively
associated with the Madison Avenue
church, teaching in the Sun
lay school and serving in the Hospit.

on, she united with the Congregation.

ears in the Sunday school.
She was a member OF the WCTU, {

ling's Daughters of that village.
She is survived by her husband and
