ROCKVILLE.

A livery team belonging to Charles Anderson of Holland was completely wrecked Thursday, on Holland road, near MT. Doyle's farm. The horse was badly frightened by an automo- bile, and as a result of prancing about one of the shafts became loose from the wagon. Before the driver could repair the damage another of the ''honk. honkers'' came along and there was another fracas. resulting in the other shaft giving way. Tn another moment third flying ma. chine passed. and the thoroughly crazed horse smashed the wagon to pieces. Rockville Journal.

The Willy Bell Boy.

A hotel man in New Hampshire was surprised to see one of his women guests come downstairs several nights running, fill her pitcher from the water cooler in the hall and return quietly to her room again. At first he thought the lady had some special reason for this queer performance. Then he thought he had better speak to her. Accordingly on the fourth or fifth night he approached her politely, took the pitcher from her hands and filled 1t himself.
 If you would ring, madam" he said, "this would always be done for you. There is no occasion for you ever to come down yourself for water. A ring
 "But have no bell" said the lady.
 "Oh, madam, of course you have a bell. I'll show it to you.'
 And he carried the pitcher up to her room for her and pointed to the bell beside her bed
 ''That is the bell," he said.
 The lady started in surprise.
 "That the bell? she exclaimed. ''Why, the bell boy told me that was the fire alarm and wasn't to touch it on any account except in case of fire'' Washington Star.

WILBRAHAM.

Much alarm is felt at Wilbraham over the mysterious disappearance Sunday, the 18th, of Walter Carroll, 16, who had within the past two weeks entered the institution. The young man was last seen starting up Wilbraham mountain for a walk, and no concern was felt about him until early Sunday evening, when he failed to put in an appearance. His grand mother. Mrs. Orrin Allen of Palmer, whom he was accsutomed to visit, was telephoned to, but she had not seen him. She had only recently received letter from him, however, in which he had stated that he was enjoying his school life. His parents in Rowe were notified at once of his disappear anoe, and the police of Springfield were asked to assist in finding the boy. Young Carroll is the son of a Rowe farmer and had been working very hard to save money enough to provide himself an education, and after arriving at the academy he had en- tered into the school work with a great deal of enthusiasm. He had thus early shown himself bright student, and possessed a happy dis position which would undoubtedly make him a favorite in the institu- tion. He had complained to his land lady, Mrs. Charles Pease, Sunday morning, that he was not feeling we'll and that a walk might do him good. Soon after he started out to go up the mountain and has not been seen since. It is feared that he may have fallen down some preoipitious place on the mountain, as there are many places which are rather treacherous and dangerous for one unfamiliar with the territory. An exhaustive searcE has since been made of the citizens territory on the part of citizens students and relatives. At last ac counts no trace of his wherea bouts had been obtained. Much sympathy is felt for his parents.

Mine Preserved Bodies,

A curious story Illustrative of the preservative properties of carbonic acid gas, or "choke damp" comes from China. In the province of Nganhwei a party of miners opened an ancient shaft where, according to the official records, a terrible catastrophe had oc- cured 400 years ago. When the mtn- CTS entered they came upon the bodies of ITO miners who had perished in the mine, lying where they had been ove-- taken by the deadly gas four centuries back The corpses to the eye were as though of yesterday, quite fresh look ing and not decayed in any way. The faces were like those of men who had just died. On an attempt being made to move them outside for burial they one and all crumbled away, leaving nothing but pile of dust and the rem nants of the stronger parts of their clothing

Lerinlative Notes.

The house passed the bill which gives to Connections a new banking department. Instead of two commits sioners, but one is called for in the bill. He is authorized to employ such assistance as he may require. The bank commissioner can be re- moved for cause by the governor.
 The house on Thursday received Governor Woodruff's first veto mes- sage. the matter in question being @ resolution incorporating the Windsor vile & East Hartford Street Railway company, the reasons given being ex- cessive capitalization and too wide exercise of the power of eminent do- main.
 On Tuesday the governor sent in his vetoes for the Waterbury 6 Mill dale and also the Bridgeport & Dan bury. He objects to watered stocks and granting of eminent domain. He suggested a general statute to meet the situation.
 The house has voted to fix the date for final adjournment on June 19.
 Both houses have passed the bill increasing from $2 to $3 the charge per week to be paid by towns for SUD- port of insane paupers in state hospi- tals. Senator McGovern said the bill would result in q great saving to the state, probably $1O4, 900 at the Nor wioh hospital alone, and would check the over-crowding of state institu- tions, by lessening the number sent to them who could be cared for in the local almshouses.
 The amendment to the Rockville city charter, giving it the privilege to rule the municipal lighting, was unfavorably reported in the house by the committee on cities and boroughs on the grounds that the matter was not properly advertised, and that the petitioners did not prove the need of what they asked.
 The house yesterday turned down the governors veto of the resolution incorporating the Windsor 6 East Hartford trolley charter, and passed the resolution 194 to 27. The veto of the Waterbury and Milldale trolley charter was similarly treated by . vote of 173 to 13. During the debate bitter personal attacks were made by Representative Banks of Fairfield and Representative Burnes of Greenwich on the governor. A resolution cen. surfing Messrs. Banks and Burnes for their attack was offered by MT. Birds eye of Pennington, which led to 6 resumption of hostilities until action on the resolution was indefinitely postponed.
 The senate yesterday passed the fee system as it applies to the compensa- iton of sheriffs, which was reported favorably by the committee on the judiciary. The salaries specified in the bill are as follows: New Haven county, $6O0O; the sheriffs of Hart ford and Fairfield counties, $55OO each; the sheriff of Litchfield county, $3OOO; the sheriff of Nsw London county, $40OO; the sheriffs of Middlesex and Windham counties, $25OO; the sheriff of Holland county, $2OOO.
 The house defeated the bill to re- peal the vaccination laws.
