Where is g. H. Beal ?

Where is @. H. Beal?
This is question which has been
agitating the friends of that gentle
man ever since Monday morning
when he failed to make his usual ap-I
pearanIce at his store.
@ He has been missing from sight
since Sunday evening at about Z
o'clock when he was last seen on
Fifth street, and had the earth opened
and swallowed him he could not have
disappeared more thoroughly from
sight Il
For over thirty years Mr.. .Beal has
been a resident of this city and being
man of most methodical and exem-
tplary habits, his unexplained absence
gives rise to great uneasiness. He
stops at the Palace hotel but was not
there for supper Sunday night, and an
examination of his room shows that he
did not take an overcoat with him nor
any clothes save those he wore. He
said nothing to anybody about going
away, and, not being aman who often
i leaves the city his sudden dropping
from sight is great mystery.
Mr.. Beai has a small hardware
store in the same storeroom with j.
jC. SWEET e CO., and his comings and
I goings from there have been as regu-
4 lar as clockWork for many years.
Naturally taciturn man, he was lit.
s tie given TO speaking of his own affairs
Il and even his best friends know little
q OF him. beyond the fact that his broth
7 ers formerly lived here and that he
: was bachelor. As far as anybody
knows his financial affairs are il
, satisfactory condition, 50 there Wou1t
"a be no reason for his going away OF
!, that account: and no other reason i!
known for his dropping from sight.
A theory is advanced that his mini
might have become unbalanced anC
that he may have wandered away and
fallen in some out-of-the-way place
but SO far as could be learned no or
ganized effort has been made t.
, search the outskirts of the city. He
was not a drinker and about the has
imam in town to leave his business
without a word to anybody, as he hat
no clerks and ran the business him
self AS far as can be ascertaineG
!, he did not leave the city by train ant
Ibid not go by team; but how did he
get away, unless he walked, and where
did he walk to? and why? -

though it is alleged that his pipe has
been found on the bank Of the Lamoille

followed by the missing man.
Relatives OF Whitcomb claim that the

A MERCANTILE CHANGE.
G. c. Putnam & Sons Store at Put

vile to B. r. Gillett, Of Worcester, who
take possession at once, takes the post
Office also and will repair, remodel and
increase the stock IN the store making
it one Of the best in the county outside
OF Montpelier.
The store was conducted by the Putt
mans since 1874, some thirty-three
years, in connection with their lumber
business, but the lumber business has
increased in such proportions Of late
years that it demands the entire atten-
tion of the firm, and the store could not

quired, The manufacture Of clothes
pins has also increased the work.
The store has done business of $780,
600, to $4,000, year, which win I'M
doubtedly be increased. Mr.. Gillett has
sold his property in Worcester, where he
conducted store for SIX years, going
there from Moretown. He Is thoroughly
acquainted with the mercantile trade
and will undoubtedly give the patrons
of the PutnamsviIle store excellent
satisfaction The store has enjoyed a
splendid reputation under the Putnams
and has always been conducted in first
class shape.

Burning Bridge Halts New
England States Limited
JUST NORTH OF BETHEL
Then Trainnfen and Passengers Set to
Work and Extinquished the Flames
Which Were Probably Caused
BY Engine Sparks.

The Central vernont's fast train,
the New England states Limited, came
near running into a burning bridge just
north Of Bethel last evening when going
at rate of speed estimated to have
been 40 or so miles an hour The train,
which was late, was in charge of Engineer
Donovan Of st. Adams After rounding
a curve in the approach to the bridge,
the engineer discovered that fire was
eating up the structure. He reversed
Immediately and brought the train to
a halt just before reaching the bridge.
Then the trainmen and passengers
fell to and formed volunteer fire bri-
gade, using all the water on the engine
that could be spared They finally slIe-
ecoded in extinguisling the flames. All
the passengers were ordered of and
Engineer Donovan drew the train slowly
over the partially burned trestle. The
passengers walked across, and boarded
the cars again on the other side.
II is not thought probable that there
could have been catastrophe even II
the train had made the bridge at fun
speed, as the wood work was not burned
sufficiently to make the crossing ex-
tremely hazardous However, had the
fire got few minutes more headway,
it would have rendered the bridge un-
safe. The flames probably started BY
sparks from a freight train which passed
earlier in the afternoon. On reaching
Randolph, the trainmen notified the
officials, and men were sent down the
line to make repairs.
This delay and the breaking of pin
in the engine, which slowed up the
speed, caused the New England States
Limited to be very late in reaching
Montpelier junction. 1t is due there
at 6;20 o'clock. The train carried its
usual large list Of passengers AT the
Junction the damage to the engine was
repaired by robbing freight engine
Of the Necessary piece Of mechanism.
