seIIIna Condemned Meat.

Gov. Prouty in an interview in Bur
lington recently on the diseased meat
question is reported TO have said
1.-THE encouragement of the state has,
at my suggestion, drawn ups contract
with the Burlington Rendering company
whereby the company will dispose OF all
cattle killed by the state under the tuber-
culosis law.
"Under the contract the company dis
poses Of all carcasses OF diseased cattle &C
cording to the order of government in
spectors on the ground. Many of these
cattle are killed because they respond 10
the tuberculin test Of the veterinary, and
are found upon inspection to have been
diseased but slightly. In other words,
there may be a slight affection OF the liv.
er or some other organ, while the meat i
absolutely untainted. This has been
effectively proved by government experts
and so the meat that shows no disease
will be disposed Of for what it will
bring"
Still the people of the state are DESTROYS
OF surety that they viii not have thai
kind Of meat forced upon them for food
notwithstanding the statements of gov
eminent experts. And it does not appea
to the sense of right to believe that it il
being shipped to other states for food
Perhaps it is not but the rendering com
pany has not made any statement in re
gard to the matter.-Montpelier Argus.

The gLRoY KENT cAse.

Vermont has another possible hanging
ahead. For the first time since the Mary
Rogers case, there is a conviction for
murder in the first degree. The jury in
Rutland county court returned this YER
dict last week against Elroy Kent,
charged with the murder of Miss Della B.
Congdon at East wallingford last July.
II the law takes its course, the man will
be hanged.
Already there is much speculation as to
whether the penalty will be applied OF
the sentence committed to life imprison-
ment at the next session Of the general
assembly. The report of the court scene
when the jury returned the verdict state.
that Attorney General Sargent, who had
conducted the prosecution, went into tn,

on the contrary, took it calmly and wher

Man and Cir Killed BY Train.

The northbound New England States
Limited on the Central Vermont railway
ran down William Cone and little daugh-
ter at the twin bridges near the North
field Roxbury line Sunday afternoon and
both were killed. The mans body was
found on the rocks below, while long
search is in progress for the remains OF
the girl, many citizens of Roxbury and
all the section men from Mortified
joining in the hunt.
The trRinmen say that when the flyer
arrived at Northfeld the engineer stated
that be saw the man and girl on the
track, that be whistled and as be sped
along asked the fireman il they hit any
body. The latter said, 81 believe not :"
On attending to his duties about the To-
connective at Northheld, the fireman was
shocked to find it blood-stained and a
portion of the girls dress on the COW
catcher.
The place where the accident occurred
/ is about four and q half miles south OF
/ Northfield station and search along the
track revealed nothing OF the girl except
a portion Of her head near the bridges.
/ 1t is the theory of the searehers that
/ Cone laid the girl on the bridge beside
/ the track, hoping she might escape. His
body was found with several ribs broken
and the entire upper portion of the skull
/ gone, including its contents. The
wound was such as to take away nearly
half the face, leaving one eye. The body
was evidently struck in the side by the
train, thrown over the bridge and landed
on the head on the rocks in the river, II
feet below.
Cone was an Industrious workman
aged about As years, and left a wife anC
three other children beside Minnie, 1.
years old, whom he was accompanying
on walk. Their home was near the
place where they were killed. Cone haC
worked this winter for Ezekiel Raymond
in the wood business in Roxbury anC

fire loss approximating $4,000 and
the injury OF several fremen, one OF them
being fatally hurt, resulted from blaze
Saturday morning IN the clothing store
OF G. N. Atwood q Co. on Main street
in Middlebury.
The fire was caused by the explosion Of
a gasoline stove in the basement of the
Atwood building. The firemen respond
ed promptly to the alarm and soon had
ten streams playing on the FIRE. In lit
tie while the flames reached a quantity of
gasoline stored in the basement. An ex-
plosion followed, the roof being blown
of and the front wall thrown into the
street. Without a moments warning
tons of brick, timbers, broken glass and
plaster were thrown upon the iremen.
Harry Kelley suffered a cut on the
head, both legs were broken, there is
gaping wound in the left side and it is
said that every bone in that side is brok-
en-. The injured man was taken to Mary
/ Fletcher hospital, Burlington, and his
death occurred Monday morning.
William Lapan was cut about the head,
arms and neck and was removed to his
home in an ambulance.

head, face and body. He was taken to
his home in an ambulance.
Thomas Penders was cut about the
head, arms and body, and was removed to
his home.
Charles Shaw suffered a severe scalp
wound and was taken home.
II is considered almost miraculous that
the injured men we're not instantly
killed. The force OF the explosion was
felt quarter of a mile away.
The firemen stuck hravely to their
posts Notwithstanding the injuries
suffered by their comrades, until the fire
was under control
The Atwood building owned by Z. N.
Atwood was a handsome structure with a
marble front and was built five years ago.
; Mr.. Atwood's loss on his stock OF
: clothing and on the furniture and fix
lures OF the store is estimated at $50. 900.
The loss on the building is about $40, 900.
Mr.. Atwood's losses probably are covered
by insurance.
Every plate glass window within q ra-
dius Of one hundred feet was shattered.

Granite Sheds Burn.

Fire destroyed the stone sheds owned
by Bianehi & Son and occupied by the
World Granite Co. at East Barre the
morning of April s, and the opinion is
that it was of incendiary origin. The
loss on building and stock is estimated
at near $4,000, with insurance OF S6,-
200.
The fire was discovered a little after
2:30 by Mrs. Charles Davenport and her
husband, who aroused the neig borhood
and called out the East Barre fire depart
ment. The shed was all ablaze and the
efforts of the local fire company we're fu-
tile. 1t devoted its efforts to protecting
surrounding property and throwing wa
ter on the safe in the Office to keep it
from getting too hot and destroying its
contents. As 1t is, all books and papers
we're saved.
The sheds, which were the property OF
Charles Bianchi & Son, were valued above
1000. On one OF these there was an in
surance Of $4,000. The World Granite
Co. suffered q loss of about $4,000 to S.
900, on which there was an insurance of
2,00O. They employed % men and
there was a large quantity OF work in the
sheds boxed and ready for shipment.

The proposition to lionize Col. Bennett
Young, leader Of the Confederate raiders
who looted st, Adams during the Civil
war, at that place, on the occasion of the
Champlain celebration, does not strike
everybody favorably, or at least it appears
so from the protests registered. Letting
bygones be bygones is commendable, but
singing out such buccaneer as Col.
Young and browning him with hero's
halo on the very scene Of his exploit is
rather OVERRIDING the business. The st.
Adams raid was not sn act of honorable
warfare, and its chief should not be invit,
ed hither to plume himself on the
