One or two Newspapers have intimated
that it is nothing against Haskins il he
did assure. PlumIey two years ago that
he would not run for Congress again, as
it was only political deal at best. We
cannot see it that way. II, as Is appar-
emily well established, Haskins told
Plumley two years ago, after his nomina-
ton at Montpelier, that this would be his
last term and that he hoped to see Plum
ley succeed him, we consider it binding
upon him. as a man OF honor, to keep his
word, whether that word was voluntarily
given or otherwise. There were reasons
which Haskins stated at the time why he
did not wish to make his position public
then, but SO well was it understood by
Piumley and his near friends that they
were a very surprised, and even skepticai,
lot, when Haskins announced himself a
candidate again this year. Haskins' de-
claration OF two years ago-which, by
the way, he has not yet denied having
hade-should have guided him now just
as much as Roosevelt's equally voluntary
declaration of 1904 not to again be a can
didate for the presidency. In spite OF the
strongest kind of pressure, Roosevelt has
not recanted. Hsskins sought the occa-
sion to do so.

Kurn hattin Again.

We are glad to be able to announce
through these columns the gradual, sue
cessful growth of the building fund.
Some weeks ago a public announcement
was made OF the policy of the trustees in
this matter, since which time the general
appeal has gone out.
This appeal has been in the form of
newspaper articles, circular letters, per-
sonai letters and personal calls by solicit
tors. Our plan was to raise $4,000 by
asking for special pledges, to put with
the $1,000 pledge which came at the be-
ginning.
We are trying to secure five 1000-dollar
pledges. Two have been secured. Who
will be the third? Eight 500-dollar
pledges are needed. Five are already
pledged. Who will be the next on this
list? Four 250-dollar pledges. One is se-
cured. This will complete the first half
OF our desired sum. The 200-dollar list
should have five names. Only two have
yet been placed there. Twenty 100-dollar
pledges will be needed. We can report
ten already secured. Twenty 50-doliar
pledges of which ten are already filed.
Ten 25-dollar pledges-seyen are filled
out.
Besides these, we are asking individu-
ais, church societies and Sunday schools
for pledges of so, IS and any sum posi-
BILE. These will make up the remaining
$3.50 which is needed to bring the amount
up to $4,000.
These appeals to churches and societies
have been most generously responded to
and at the present time the amount
pledged in such sums is fully $500.
You can readily see that much work
has yet to be done before our building
can be begun, II we follow the policy out
lined in the beginning of keeping free
from debt.
We are grateful for the generous help
and interest shown by all, and are not
unmindful of the sacrifice represented by
many in the gifts and pledges bestowed.
We can only urge in behalf of the boys
and those who are so faithfully perform
ing duty under the hardest conditions.
that the effort be redoubled and special
stress thrown upon this worthy cause just
now, in the hour OF its great need.
You can greatly help, II. instead of
waiting for an appeal to reach you, you
send your check or pledge to r. l. Walk

Chimney Pension Case Explained.

cause bis regiment was on frontier duty,
the Bennington Banner suggests that the
Secood Regiment OF Vermont volunteers
was not the corps to which Chimney be-
longed. but rather the Second Regiment
OF United States volunteers. which was
formed near the close of the war and sent
upon frontier duty. At the same time,
the Herald's enquiry still holds good
why was Chimney, who enlisted for any
duty, deprived OF his pension because he
served, perchance, along the Wabash, as
directed by his commanding officers,
rather than upon the Potomac ?-Rutlsnd

Patrick Rynne, a military convict, who
was attempting to escape from Fort
Ethan Allen Friday, was shot and in
stantly killed by Sentry Mollory. At the
same instant two other prisoners. together
with a sentry who was guarding them,
made good their escape but were later
captured by detail from the post.
The shooting of Rynne by the sentry
occurred as the prisoners from the post
guard house were preparing to file back
to the post for the night The prisoners
had been engaged in work on the new
target range and other improvements
some distance from the post and were or
dered back to the guard house by Ser
geant Roy Woods Of Troop II, 18th caval-
~. who was in charge of the men.
Woods noticed that three of the prisoners
seemed to be waiting and went down the
line to investigate. Everything seemed
all right and the order was given to
march.
As the line started, Rynne attempted to
bride Mollory, who was guarding him, to
let him escape, offering the sentry $40 to
let him get away. Mollory, who is a re-
cruit, refused the offer and Rhyme made q
break for liberty. The sentry called to
him to halt, but the prisoner kept on and
when about 40 yards away Mollory
opened fire and sent a bullet after the
fleeing nan, which struck him in the
back OF the head, coming out over the
left eye, killing him almost instantly.
Sentry Mollory, who did the shooting,
in acting as he did obeyed to the letter
his orders, which instruct him to shoot
to hit, even to kill. The dead man Was
an Hishman. who is said to hail fro =,
New York. He was serving IS mont Is
in the guard house for attempting to es-
cape by jumping out of window about
two months ago. The board of officers
investigated the shooting and MolIory is
exonerated OF all blame in the matter.

Four Deaths In Sc. Johpsbury Fire.
Arbor day OF 1908 will long be remem-
bered as the day Of one OF the greatest
calamities that ever visited st. Johnsbury
and only comparable to the night OF the
burning OF the Caldbeck block some ten
years ago, when two people persisted In
the flames. At the fire in the big tene-
ment house on Prospect avenue, in the
heart of the village, at nine o'clock FRI
day morning, four persons were burned
to death and their bodies brought out by
firemen before the saddened hearts OF
hundreds OF people, many OF whom were
sobbing at the dreadful sight. The dead
are:-
Mrs. Henry Wilson, aged 80 years.
Beatrice Wilson, her two-year-old daugh-
Gladys Wilson, her three-year-old daugh-
Nellie Lee, Mrs. Wilson'S sister, aged
Is years.
The fire started in the rooms on the sec
ond floor occupied by the Wilson family
and before the department had arrived
the smoke and flames were pouring from
the front windows. No one is living to
tell just how the fire started, but il Is be-
lieved that II caught from the gas stove
Miss Lee was evidently lighting the stove
on which was a kettle OF lard, and it is
probable that an explosion followed
which stunned her and her niece, Gladys
Wilson, who was in the same room.
This explanation seems reasonable as no
one of the four who perish-d ever uttered
sound after the fire started or came TO
any OF the windows where they might
have been rescued or even jumped less
than 20 feet to the ground.
Within an hour the fire was under con-
troll and the property loss will not exceed
u, 900. None of the tenants except the
Wilson's lost much by the fire aside from
the injuries to furniture incident to its
hasty and somewhat careless removal.
The block was owned by Gordon X.
Weeks and insured through Crawford
Rsnney's agency for $4,000. of this
amount the Vermont Mutual Of Montpel-
Ter carried q, 800 and the Traders and
Mechanics of Lowell 81, 500.
The only remaining member Of the
family. John II. Wilson, il a moulder at
the Fairbanks scale factory and did not
reach the scene of the fire until after the
dead bodies of his wife and infant daugh-
ter were taken TO the hospital. When he
arrived there he was so overcome by grief
that medical assistance was given and il
was not for several hours that they dared
tell him that four had persisted in the
flames.
