to take more definite and terrifying
forms. From simply looking at me in
silence, people began to talk audibly
about me. At first l could distinguish
only a few words, relating to my

which one man would utter to his COM

the conversations about me became
more extended and precise. Whole SEN

BODY IDENTIFIED
BY PECULIAR CLOTHES
Man Killed at Montpelier Had Been En-
ployed on New Power Plant at
Kinney's Mills Until
Recently.

The body of the man found on the
track of the Central Vermont railroad
at Montpelier yesterday morning has
been identified as that OF a workman
who had been employed at the Cory
Deavitt Frost power plant at Kinney's
Mills, and he was known as Domenica
Carttelh, the name written in the blank
book found in the clothing. The identif-
cation was made by means of peculiar
check to the trousers and by cap which
was found nearby.
The man was a good workman and
was well liked by his fellow employees
and by his employers. He quit work
and was paid off on Monday because he
did not want TO work on Sundays. The
finding of some S33 in his pockets is
thus accounted for. When he left the
working gang at Kinney's Mills, he said
that he was going to Waterbury, Conn,
where he could get a job. He was a
temperate fellow and never drank, which
does away with the theory that he was
drunk wnen killed. 1t is probable that
he tried to board train. The trains
move somewhat slowly at the point
where the body was found, and it is prob
able that he figured that he could board
the train with safety.
The body win be buried by the city
of Montpelier if no one appears to claim
it, and 1t does not seem likely that any
one win come forward. He is not known
to have had any relatives hereabouts.

WOMAN SHOT HERSELF.
Mrs. Mabel Osborne Tried to Commit

Boston, Oct. l0.-A woman, whose

3:l5 o'clock yesterday afternoon by
shooting herself in the right side of her
head with a revolver while alone in a
suite OH the third floor of the apartment
hotel known as Madison place, in the

tor. The police were notified and the
woman was hurried to the City hospital.
Late last night it was reported tnat her
condition was serious.

the shooting took place, said last night
that the woman is not his wife, but his
housekeeper, that her name is Mrs. Ma
bel Johnson, tnat she was about 80 years
OF age. She has been in his employ
as housekeeper, he said. since he went
to live at the Madison place house about
year ago. He could ascribe no reason
for the woman's act
lie did not know of the shooting until
about an hour after it happened, when
he was notified by telephone from the
City hospital. Mr. Osborne said he did
not know where his housekecper be.

Two Quarrymen We're Injured
To-day
AT JONES BROS. QUARRY
One Of Them May Lose Leg and tho
other Will Be Deprived Of Two
Toes at Least--Brought to the
City Hospital

Suffering from injuries received in an
accident at the Jones Bros companys
light quarry at Mebsterville, two men
were brought to the City hospital this
afternoon for treatment. One of them,
Frank Luca, may lose his left leg, and
the other, Frank Alva, who was more
fortunate, will lose two toes, and per-
haps sustained other injuries.
The quarrymen were at work at 1850
this forenoon prying out a large block
of granite. The block had been raised
onto rollers, and it was only necessary
to pry it with bars to start the granite
out. The floor of the quarry slopes at
that point considerably, and the little
start given the granite caused It 10 slip
on the rollers quite rapidly. The two
men were IN front of the stone and
using a bar They were too slow in
getting out Of the way, and the huge
chunk slid onto them and pinned them
down.
As soon as possible the granite was
raised and physicians were summoned,
Drs. Bailey and Hayes responding. II
was thought best to send the men to the
City hospital, where they could be treat
ed easier, and accordingly Badgers am
bulanoe from this city was sent up to
Websterville after the men this after
noon. Both men are Spaniards and are
thought to be unmarried.
