session has been accomplished. Much
of it has been proposed, but very lit
tie serious work has been done. In
this the present assembly, is not at all
different from the others. for it is the
custom to do most Of the work in the
last days of the session. 1t is an I'M
fortunate custom. but it is merely an
evidence of the common morta! en-
dency to put off the hard work N
til the last. Moreover, this assembly
is showing signs of going to work.
Committees are being called N some
of the more important measures thus
far introduced are being considered.
Probably some of them vii! come in
before the end Of the week.

assembly would hardly be expected to
break their necks in their haste TO

be was jealous. Later he saw his wife
60 over and speak TO this man and ne
says that he thinks that she kissed
him. He couldn't swear as To the
last, as he was considerable distance
away.
Thinking that Mrs. Gardner needed a
little ehastisement, Gardner then and
there administered bodily rebuke with
his foot, according to his own admis-
sion in court today. He said, however,
that he only booted her with the blunt
side Of his foot. Mrs. Gardner said he
kicked her good and hard and that more
over he punched her twice with his
fists.
The sight Of his daughter being thus
treated was too much for Melville
Robertson Of Waitsfeld, father of the
woman, who was on the ground also So
he used his fists to such good ad-
vantage on the husband that Gardner
went down under well-directed snoot.
An uncle of the girl who had likewise
come to see the circus thought the young
man had not received punishment enough
from the father and proceeded to
knock Gardner down after the enraged
parent had got his satisfaction.
On top of that, warrant was issued
for the young mans arrest, and Con-
stable Charles A. Smith went TO More.

Autopsy on Body Of Webster Korpi,
Which Was Found in Idle Quarry
Hole, Showed That He Had
Been Drowned.

Nothing having been found to indi~
cate that there was anything suspicious
about the death Of Victor Korpi whose
body was brought up from the bottom
Of quarry pool in GraniteviIle Sum
day, the remains We're taken from the
Undertaking rooms of B. +. Davis in
East Barre and buried today in the
Wilson cemetry at the expense Of the
town Of Barre. After quite long
search, the selectmen located Mrs. Korpi
in Quincy, Mass, but she sent back word
that she didn't have any money to have
the body conveyed to Quincy. Hence
the burial today by the overseer of the
poor. 1t is said that the husband and
wife had some differences, which caused
him to leave Quincy.
That Korpi met death by drowning,
or asphyxiation while under water, was
determined at the autopsy conducted by
Drs. Bailey and Hayes at East Barre
yesterday afternoon, and there is no
reason now to think that the death was
anything but accidental There was
only a little water in the lungs. The
stomach contained partially digested
meal, and there was quantity of
liquid matter; Of Just what nature the
doctors We're unable to determine. There
were slight scratches on the forehead
and hand, none of which was severe
enough to be noted They were prob
ably made by the graphing irons in the
efforts of the searchers to locate the
body after the clothes and pipe were
found on the bank of the pool.
1t is said that party Of three men,
including men by the name of McAuley
and Mcdonald, went into the pool Sat
urday morning to cool of and that the
Others we're more cautions than the Fin
lander who went beyond his depth
Korpi came to Graniteville last spring
and went TO work as quarryman. He
was boarding at the house of A. B.

gone there in April Little was known
of him. Korpi worked for Boutwell,,
