Currency Legislation Needed.

DEATH OF J. c. ENRIeHT
Windsor Man the Victim Of Gas Of
Violence-Suicide Theory Doubted.

Windsor Man the Victim Of Gas or
Violence-Suicide Theory Doubted.
A New York despatch to the Rut-
land Herald Feb. says:
]. {, Enright, a former Vermont
state senator and owner and proprie-
tor Of a marble quarry at Windsor,
was found dead in bed at the Chel-
sea Square hotel, Twenty-first street
and Tenth avenue, today under cir
cumstances which have caused
difference OF opinion among the
authorities as to whether he commit
ted suicide or died by accident, or as
the result of a beating received at
the hands of unknown persons last
night. The hotel people claim that
Enright committed suicide, and such
is the belief of Coroner Julius Har-
burger.
Mr.. Enright appeared at the hotel
at midnight bleeding from several
wounds. He said he had been as
saulted and robbed. He was unable
to talk much and was assisted to bed,
it is said, by hotel porters. Today
when his body was found all the gas
Jets in the room were turned on full
tilt and the place was filed with the
escaping vapor.
Coroner Hamburger blames the
hotel people for the mans death and
says the stop cocks were not in good
condition. The hotel people con-
tend that the cocks were in proper
condition and that Enright turned
them on himself with desire to end
his lite. The police, on the other
hand, think Enright died as the re-
suit Of an assault and have ordered
an autopsy.
A Windsor despatch says that Mr.
Enright left home Wednesday, Jan.
80, apparently in good spirits, to 60
to New York on business connected
with the Ascutney quarry, which has
a contract to furnish granite for the
proposed Mckinley mausoleum at
Canton, o. His friends refuse to
believe that he committed suicide.
Joseph Cornelius Enright was the
son of Rev. Joseph and Catherine
(Wier) Enright. He was !born at
Morgan Dec. z, 1852. He was
graduated from Dartmouth college
in the class of 1873 and began the
study of law the same year. He
was admitted to the Windsor county
bar in 1881 and practiced at Wind
sor, being largely interested in in
surance and real estate for many
years.
Mr.. Enright served as superin-
tendent OF schools in Hartland and
Windsor and represented Windsor
in the General Assembly in 10000.
He was member of the Masonic
order, taking every degree from the
first to the gid.
He leaves a widow and one daugh-
ter, and five brothers and two sisters
also survive him.

Climbed a Winding Staircase.

Last Friday night the Oldest horse
at Fort Ethan Allen, known as sold
Bill" unfastened his halter, and wan
dered along the gang way used for
wagons toward the front door, until
he came to the winding staircase,
which he assembled and entered the
hay loft. When the battery fell in
and marched to II e stables Saturday
morning, the sergeant in charge
counted his animals as usual and
found that one horse was missing.
After little argument with the first
sergeant as to where he had gone, a
noise was heard upstairs The sta
BILE sergeant assembled the stairs and
found old Bill eating hay from a
bale. After the battery had been
called several men were sent upstairs
to blindfold the animal and see il he
could be brought down the steps
again. But Old Bill preferred the
bale of hay to the winding staircase
and declined to go down. The sta
Die sergeant then had the horse
thrown aud his legs tied, after which
he was lowered to the ground
through the hay loft door by means
Of block and pulley.
