at once to Washington. When we had
laid the conditions before these gentle
men, and were personally assured OF
their cooperation, they agreed with the
stand which we took that the Barre post
office should be Of Barre granite and that
no other material should be considered
for exterior construction.
First, we find that the Supervising
architect cannot specify Barre granite.
Second, that the supervising architect
does not criticise the position we take.
that Barre granite is the only material
for outside construction on a post Office
in Barre, vt.
Third, that the matter be left in the

plished 1t Last Night with

II survived by q wife and his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Langevin He had
been Of morbid turn OF mind for the
past year and had often threatened TO
take his life. About a month ago he
was about to take acid, when his wife
discovered him and threw the bottle
away as be was raising Il to hisi lips.
For the past month he had appeared
more cheerful but 1t is supposed that the

ness back.
Langevin took the poison when alone
in the house. He had gone to drug
store to get two prescriptions filled for
some children living in the same build
ing Tis wife took the opportunity to
call on her parents, Mr.. and Mrs De-
eatur Francis, who live in the neighbor-

pease and Officer Miles were soon on
the sene. Death had occurred, however,
before their arrival Health Officer G.
r. Dalton was notified and pronounced

AN ILL-FATED STONE.
In Three Wrecks and Sent Back to Mont
pelier Granite Plant Twice.


The treatment which granite monu-
me1ts in transit are apt to receive is
well shown By the return Of a large
monument 70 the Ryle & Mccormick
company Of Montpelier after being twice
damaged The monument was worth
about $1,000 and was to be set up in
Greenwood cemetery ii New York. It
was shipped from Montpelier two months
ago to Whites Dock in New York; but
Il got no further than Bethel, when ii
went into the ditch along with other
freight on the Central Vermont railroad.
The monument was damaged and was
sent back to Montpelier for repairs It
was repaired and started off again for
Whites Dock. II hadn't progressed far
before it was held up IN a tie-up down
the line, but was not damaged After
being started forward again, it was IL
a wreck on the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad and this time had a
big chunk taken ont It has been re
turned again to Montpelier, and probably
the same piece Of stone cannot be used
in meeting the contract specifications.
