The sale of the pews Of the
Catholic Church took place on All
Saints day and realized 81, 400
which is about three hundred dol
lars more than last year. The
starting price of the pews had
been raised from SIS to SIS for
the large pews from So to S15 for
the small ones. The bidding was
not very lively, the bidding on all
the pews was made by one person
who got one of the last pews sold,
after which the pews sold for the
tariff limit. Had it not been for
this one person bidding, very few
pews would have sold for more

POWER STATION WRECKED.
Metal Weighing Hundreds Of Pounds Thrown
Through Roof.

iHTouyH Nooi'
Montpelier, Jan. Pa peculiar &C.
cident occurred at the Viles power
house in Middlesex about 7 30 O'Clock
this morning soon after the machinery
was started. Power is furnished both
by water and steam. In some manner
not fully understood, the main driving
pulley OF the water wheel and the driv-
ing wheel OF the counter shaft were
crushed, causing the wreckage to fly in
all directions.
Many pieces weighing several hun
dred pounds each were driven through
the roof to distance OF several hun
dred feet. These pulleys were is in
ches in diameter and weighed about
1000 pounds each. No one was seri-
ously injured, although three men, AL
bert Taplin, E. A. Earl and Mr. MUIR
ply were in the building.
1t is thought possible that the accid-
emit may have been caused by the fact
that the water and stesm did not drive
the machinery at the same speed. The
damage will amount to about $1,000.
The motors at the stone shed were
shut off until noon but otherwise pow
er was furnished by another water
wheel and steam.

MORTAGE
FORECLOSED
Property OF BattenkiII Co.
Levied Upon
IN TIMBER LAND DEAL
Part of Process OF Getting Large
Tracts In Hands of A
Combine
IN TIMBER LAND DEAL

Following close upon the heels OF
the Wright Peck timber land deal Of a
week ago, whereby W. W. Peck deed
ed to Fremont H. Wright OF Boston
5000 acres of spruce land in the
towns of Somerset and Stratton, comes
an attachment on all the real estate,
mill machinery and unsawn logs invol-
we'd in the transaction. The property
was attached last week by Deputy
Sheriff P. j. Morrissey of Stamford
in behalf Of John Tudor, also OF SIAM
ford, in the sum OF $4,000. The claims
involved are those OF John Tudor and
of George Tudor Of Somerset, the lat
ter assigned to John Tudor. The tota !
amount of which is said TO be between
$40, 900 and 100000.
The suit is to recover, besides sums
of money advanced to Wright by the
Tudors, damages for the failure of the
defendant to deliver logs contracted
to be delivered to the plaintiff. Mr.
Tudor claims that he built sawmill
on the Pine Valley tract controlled by
Mr. Wright, at cost of $4,000, for the
purpose of saving logs to be furnished
by the defendant, and that the mill
has been rendered useless and idle
through the defendants failure to
furnish the logs as per contract. A
large part of the damage claimed is
based on the rise in value OF spruce
timber since the contract was entered
into.
Just what effect the present attach
ment will have, if any, 1t Is not easy
to anticipate. The general opinion
among lumber operators hereabouts
is, however, that the Tudor claims
will be settled by the Boston capital
lists back of Mr. Wright and that the
development OF the Wright tracts will
not be seriously interferred with.

Hanging of Archibald Bates
at the Center.
WAS IN FEBRUARY, 1889
RecolIsctions Of Lyman Harwood
Who Was Present In Crowd
of Thousands

Lyman Harwood, So years old, wit
messed the hanging of Archibald L
Bates at Bennil gton Center February
s, 1889. Mr. Harwood remembers the
event we'll.
The day was pleasant one with
little II any snow on the ground. The
stage coach from Troy to Brattleboro
made the trip on wheels, the only time
this ever happened as late in the win
ter as February Sth.
Bates murdered his brothers. wife in
October, 1888 by shooting at her
through window. He had quarrelcd
with the family and after staying away
intoxicated for some time returned and
demanded money and being refused he
sought revenge by the murder.
He was easily caught and the trial
was a speedy one. A petition asking
the governor to save his life was cir
culated but Bates own father and
mother refused to sign it.
The Jail at the Center was situated
near where the monument now stands
and the gallows was erected in lot to
the west of the jail.
Bates rode to the gallons in buggy
accompanied by Sheriff Smith of Man.
chester. He was large well built
man but made no struggle at any
time. The drop Of the nun who weigh
ed 210 pounds broke his neck and near
ly pulled the bones apart
He wore white robe and. cap and
Mr. HARDWOOD has never forgotten the
horrible sight as the sheriff sprung
the trap.
The event made picnic day for the
people from the surrounding towns.
The warm weather brought crowds
to the scene with lunch boxes to spend
the day. Never again in those days
was such throng gathered together.
One woman walked 40 miles as she
feared she would never have an OPP
portunity to witness similar scene
again.
This was the last public hanging in
Vermont. Charles Taft was with Mr.
HARDWOOD at the time and has also a
vivid recollection OF the event.
