Another Drowning Accident.

Another Drowning Accident.
Miss Elizabeth Graveifn, waitress at
he Memphremagog House, Newport. was
irogaed in Lake Memphremagog about
ten O'Clock Thursday evening. In COM
pauy with lady friend, Miss Gravslin
went aboard the steamer Lady of.the Lake
and sat on deck visiting aud enjoying the
evening. When they came off
the boat she probably made a misstep in
the gang plank and fell into the |
water between the boat and dock. She |
was not seen to rise to the surface, and it |
was about an hour and one half before the |
body was recovered. 1t was taken to the |
rooms of c. Il. Greene and
was taken by him to her home in Mont.
pelier.
Clement at Newport.
p. W. Clement and other Independent
speakers were greeted by full house at
the opera house at Newport Thursday eye
ming. Mr.. Clements talk consisted chiefly
of statistics OF state expenses and while
such an address is of necessity raeher tire
some to an audience be was listened to
with marked attention and frequently
applauded. Mr.. Pape spoke in a pleasing
manner and held the attention of his
audience. His plea was for support OF
principle rather than men or party and he
showed how all radical reform emanates
from the will OF the common people. Mr..
Mccarthy spoke from the standpoint of
the working man and told some very apt
and lsughable stories by way OF illustra-
tion. The quartet sang several selections
and whatever impression Mr.. Clement may
have made bearing on the political situa-
ton the consensus of opinion is chat the
musical part of his campaign machinery
is all right.
