Commits Suicide.
Prominent Resident OF HardWick
Shot Himself In His Barn
AT Night.
Friends Unable To Discover Any Cause
For The Deed.-WaS Popular And His
Business Accounts Straight
Funeral Friday Afternoon.

Without warning and without any
reasonable explanation of the cause, J.
Vernon Dutton of Hardwick, one of that
towns prominent citizens and well
known throughout the state, ended his
life by shooting himself in the hay loft of
his barn about 500 Monday evening
He was alone and fired but one bullet
which passed through his brain and
death must have been instantaneous.
The body was found about $50 by his
brother, E. H. Dutton, who was search
ing for him..
His friends and acquaintance can not
account for his deed on any ground ex-
cept he had overworked and suddenly
became respondent. He was last seen
alive bv his wife about five o'clock in the
afternoon but he said nothing to her
to indicate that he contemplated any
such act
Mr.. Dutton was a director and the
manager of the Hardwick and Wood
bury railroad and agent for the St.
Iohnsburv and Lake Champlain railroad
in Hardwick and rumors began to circu-
late that trouble there might have been
responsible for his death. Direct COM
munication with official of both of these
roads showed there was no foundation
whatever for such report. So far as
known his accounts with each road are
all right and representatives of each
| road spoke in the highest terms of his
efficiency and integrity. On Monday a
representative from the inter state COM
| e1, rA<N,,
came to Hardwick to inspect the Hard.
wick and Woodbury. railroad and its ac,
counts as the commission is trying to
formulate new style of reports for the
industrial railroads Of the coutry. He
and Mr.. Dutton inspected the whole
property during the day and the govern
ment agent gave him some instructions
regarding the new form of reports but
declares he found nothing that reflected
in any way on Mr.. Buttons manage.
ment of the road.
!. Vernon Dutton was widely, known
throughout Vermont as he had for sew
eral years been grand lecturer for the
grand lodge of Vermont Masons and he
held the position of grand junior warden
at the time of his death. He was a
member of Caspian lodge, F. and A. NJ,
and of Hiram Chapter, R. A. M. of Hard
wick and of Palestine Commandery No.
5, of this place. He was also member
of the Hardwick camp of Modern Wood
men of America.
He was Al years old and married. He
is survived by his wife and two daugh-
ters, 16 and 13 years old.
The funeral will be held from the house
in Hardwick at one o'clock Friday after
noon. The arrangements were not en-
tirely completed at this writing.
DR.. Dalton and DR.. Fellows of the state
laboratory ofhygiene at Burlingt on came
to Hardwick Tuesday evening and as
sisted by J. Rolf Searles, representing
States Attorney Simonds, performed an
autopsy on the body as required by law.

Fatal Accidents In
LyndOnyille.
Mrs. AlOnZO Hudson and Wesley
Richards Each Instantly Killed
by Trains.
Air Line Struck Mr.. HudSOn'S Stage at
the Cattle Yard CrOSSing.-YOung
Richards Fell Under Car and
Head Was Crushed.

Two fatalities, both in the railroad
yards at Lyndonville within four days,
was the unusual record in that village
last week. In each case the victims were
horribly mangled which added much to
the shock caused BY such serious acci-
dents.
: Last Wednesday afternoon the air line
coming north struck the East Haven
stage at the cattle yard crossing south
of the station killing Mrs. Alonzo' Hud-
son, the stage drivers wife and seriously
injuring Mr.. Hudson himself. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Hudson could not
hold his horses, or being late tried to
cross the track ahead of the train. The
horses were over the crossing and not
much hurt, but the train, struck the stage
squarelv, tearing it to splinters and
throwing Mr.. and Mrs. Hudson into the
air. Mr. Hudson's injuries were caused
by his fall, but Mrs. Hudson skirts were
caught by the engine and she was drag
ged along the track about the length OF
the train, or until it was brought to a
standstill She lived but few seconds,
being terribly manged. Her body was
| taken TO IlSI NOME III East I1dNCl, WuSiS
the funeral services were held on Satur-
day.
| Mr.. Hudson was taken up unconscious
and carried to the rooms they have been
occupying in the Stern block, where a
nurse was provided and it is now thought
probable that he will recover.
Wesley Richards Killed.
A second fatal accident occurred on
Saturday during the football game
Wesley Richards, the eight-year old son
of Charles Richards, was playing about
with other boys and running among the
freight cars, lumber piles, etc. The gen
eral opinion is that he stubbed his toe on
the rail and fell AT any rate he was
directly in front Of freight car, asst was
hit by the shifter and the car passed di
rectly over him. In an instant the
bright, laughing little fellow was a
shapeless mass, crushed beyond recogni
tion. The horror Of the event cast a
gloomy pail over the whole community

TREME4U TO HE'D ARMY.
Career and Qualities of Nert French
Commander.
Especial by Cable to The Tribune.I

Paris Aug 7-Refora the end of the present
month the BRAND Cabinet must appoint new
generalissimo to succeed General Iacroix who
will be retired account cf age on August 81
The choice Is already made, in the person OF
General Tremeau. who will begin his duties as
director of the grand military manHuvres in
September and in the event of war would have
supreme command not only of the land but also
of the naval forces OF France.
General Tremeau is a cavalry officer somewhat
after the type of the late General de Galliffet,
TO whom he bears marked personal resem-
blance He is a thin. nervous. why man. with
piercing hazel eyes and d short black mustache.
He hates red tape and routine. He highly dis
tinguished himself during the autumn manCeu-
vres last year, when he upset many accepted
theories, for instance. the classic that the
employment Of cavalry is to operate the
wings of the army to prevent turning move
ments Of the enemy.
General Tremeau on the contrary. placed his
cavalry in the centre, between his two army
corps, succeeding thereby in completely deceiv-
ing his adversary. General Bazaine- Hayter.
whose army was judged by the umpires to have
been practically annihiated. General Tremeau
on another occasion massed the whole of his
artillery. which. rapidly advancing and firing
accomplished what might be called an artillery
charge and thereby surprised and destroyed the
army manPuvrinG against him
General Tremeau, like the present Minister OF
War, General Brun. is = confirmed believer in
military aeroplanes. which. in his opinion, must
form the equipment of every modern army in the
proportion of aeroplane to each infantry
brigade. General Tremeau favOrs the Siderable
balloon for purposes If recommending these
and the aeroplanes each having their special
functions. c. l. b
