Mr.. and Mrs. James H. Wilson, oil
near Glendale, celebrated the twenty
fifth anniversary of their wedding on
Friday evening, December 9th at thelr
home. The house was beautifully decor
ated with evergreens and other decora-
tions to suit the occasion. Music was
furnished by B. Frank Carey and vile oi

At s O'Clock the dining room doors were
thrown open and all invited to the taDle
which was loaded with ice cream, cake,

to their homes, wishing Mr.. and Mrs
Wilson many more happy anniversaries
They received many handsome and use
full presents.
The Christmas holidays passed very
pleasantly but there was consideraDie
drunkenness on our streets on the oa'ui-
day preceding Christmas.
In looking back over the year just past
so far as we are able to observe, 1t has
been very prosperous for this town ana
the farmers have had one OF the most
prosperous seasons for years.
During the weeks before Christmas
making holly wreaths was quite Dusl-
ness in this community; one lady with
her two children cleared over $3.50 at
making wreaths.
At this time we know of no persons Nv
ing in this community who are not able
to live we'll and know of no one asking
the aid of the public.
The indications are that the New Year
will be very bright one in the history ol
Glendale and the adjacent country.
School is again open after the regular
holiday vacation. There is a small atten'
dance of the older scholars and II Is
rumored that the cause, is the dislike OF
the teacher. This is bad state Of affairs
and something should be done to correct
the same.
The town is greatly benefited by the
erection of 3 new street lights.
Those who have been spending the
holidays here have returned to theil
homes and respective colleges.

on This Ground.

Tho divorce petition of Edgar II. Ga
brco OF Milton VS.. Emma Gabrce of the

tender county court and in some respects
presents novel aspects. The petitioner,
who is represented by Mrs. Jessie l.. Sig

ON the ground that the latter on January
/, 1904, and continuously since hat time,

able severity.
Continuing, the petition sets forth that
Mrs. Gabrce has abandoned and deserted
her husband on many occasions for sew
cral months at a time: that she has beer
addicted to gross habits OF drunkenness
has struck, beaten and otherwise I'll
treated him and has also beaten and as
saulted E>unice Gabree, their IL years OLD
daughter. The petition further alleges
that Mrs. Gabrcc by reason OF her vile
habits and continual drunkenness is unfit
to nave any care or oversight or the
daughter and asks that she be restrained
from interfering with tho fathers caro-
Of the child. as in tho past she has in
terfered and threatens to do so In ~
future.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
REPORTS ON ACCIDENTS.
Deaths ut Bradford sheldon, White
River Junction and Oakland Were
Nrsuhs OF TrespassipE on Tracks.

Il, W. Spear OF Newport, clerk Of the
board OF railroad commissioners, makes
pubic reports on four fatal accidents.
All were trospass cases and no blame
was attached TO anyone except the tres
passers Themselves.
In tho case of Peter W. Carpenter.
who was killed at Bradfoni, the com
mission finds that he was killed by
being run over by train No. 35 Of the
Boston & Maine, while walking on the
track.
The commission finds that in the case
OF Herbert 1hayer of sheldon, the ac-
'Ideni was caused by his own fault.
me evidence shows that Mr.. Thayer was
'llfhtIY intoxicated when he started
from sheldon junction and was also
subject TO fits. This leads tho com
mission to believe that he dropped dead
between the rails before the train ran
over hln' as the body was cold when
picked up by the train crew.
III the case Of Mrs. Kate Tenney OF
WhI'e Rive Junction, the commission
ma mat ample notice was given by
me ringing of the bell, and also the
moving Of the whistle 80 that in their
minis Il was only the fault of Mrs. Ten
hey t'at she was killed.
1he body of James Fallon was found
near Oakland a few minutes after train

HORSES DROWNED.
Driver Also Went into the Water hut
Got Out.

A heavy team of horses belonging TO
Zotiquc Gravel. and being used for haul
ing ice from the lake, broke through
the ice at a spot just southeast of the
Burlington brcakwatcr Friday morn
ing. and were drowned Frank Ruoll,
who was driving tho team at the time,
also went into the water with the horses
and narrowly escaped drowning.
The team owned by Mr.. Gravel was 4
heavy pair of bays, weighing about . 500
pounds. and valued at about $500. They
were being used for hauling ice from a
point "A few hundred feet west of the
breakwatcr to the shore. The course fol-
lowed by the teams engaged in this work
il around the south end of the break
water, and thence in a northcasterly di-
rection into the slip at the foot Of Maple
street. This is the course also followed
by tho stage in the winter time. The team
of horses, attached to a sled and drawing
about - heavy cakes of ice, had made
the trip around the breakwater towards
the shore, when on reaching a point just
southeast OF the end OF the hreakwater,
the ice suddenly gave way and the team.
driver and load of ice all went into the
water. Frank Ruell, the driver. was
pulled cut. but the horses IN the struggle
for freedom became ~entanglcd in the
heavy harness and drowned before they
could be saved. They were later taken
out of the water and hauled to one side
on the firm ice. The sleds and harnesses
were saved.
1t is stated by old timers on the lake
front that this portion of the lake just
where the team went in is never safe, no
matter how lard the LAKE freezes. The
spot that the animals went in is called
a 'Hatiron' or a spot that Is frozen in
| such shape as to be unsafe. Work on
the ice harvest was practically suspended
| Friday owing to the thaw and some
parts of the a being considered UNI
safe.
Mr.. Gravel, whose team was lost in the
accident in the morning. had an accident
with another horse about noon. He was
| driving up South Winooski avenue. and
in front of the Methodist Church the
horse began TO kick. After rendering the
cutter useless, the animal was unhitched
and led TO the barn.
