Died In a Lonely Hut.

"A special dispatch to the Burlington
News. Monday dated at Lincoln says
Mrs. Alzina (Goodrich) Dean, about 81
years old, the oldest person in Lincoln
and one of the oldest in this community,
died suddenly Saturday in rude shanty
on mountain road. Charles Sweet and
William Dixie, lumbermen, whom her
husband, David Dean, first notified,
found her dead and in a condition of alb
ject squalor.
Mrs. Dean was daughter of Thomas
Goodrich, one of the towns pioneers who
was formerly well to do, but eventually
became poor and endured many hard
ships, of which Mrs. Dean had her full
share, finally becoming a Starksboro
pauper. She ard her husband lived in a
shanty hardly big enough for bedroom,
and having only one room, with no cellar
or roof worth the name. Starksboro
allowed him to trade a certain amount
each week at local store, he cooking a
part of the provisions himself.
The death of Mrs. Dean reveals a case
of restitution and squalor having prob
ably no parallel in Vermont.

BY Associated fress.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 17.--Herr
Johann Most, the anarchist, died in
this city today of erysipelas. Herr
Most came to this city on Monday on
the invitation of friends and had been
the guest of Adolph Kraus of Cutter
street. Most was to have delivered a
lecture i'm Chicago on Wednesday night,
but on account of an attack of erysip-
elias he was obliged to cancel his en-
gagement although his attack was not
regarded as serious. Up to u few hours
before his death his physician eX-
pressed confidence that his patient
would soon recover.
Herr Most was delirious most of the
time during his last few days illness,
suffering greatly, but occasionally re-
peating parts of his most familiar
speeches. using the German language,
with which he was naturally most
familiar.
During the larger part of last night
he was unconscious, but during the
morning he regained consciousness for
n short time. and at 9 o'clock seemed
more cheerful and apparently was suf-
fering little pain.
Later he again became unconscious
and gradually his strength left him
until life expired. With him at the
end were a few of his friends in this
city, who had been caring for him dur
ing his sickness.
No plans have yet been made for the
funeral. the friends in this city await
ing word from his wife, to whom a
message was sent.
