EX-GOVERNOR BELL DEAD.
Stricken With Heart Failure in New
York.

New York, Sept. 26.-Ex- Governor
Charles J. Bell, of Hardwick, was
stricken here Saturday with heart
failure on a train bound for Boston,
and died before medical assistance
could be rendered. Governor Bell had
been spending few days at the Man
haitian Hotel and was taking the
train for home, but before it left the
Grand Central station, he had ex-
pired.
He had just boarded the train, when
it was noticed that he had slipped
from his seat to the floor, and al
though several passengers rushed to
his assistance, he had expired, before
the physician, who was summoned
from the Emergency Hospital had
arrived. He was identified by vari-
Gus papers found in his pockets, and
his body was brought to Hardwick
this evening.
The body was sent tonight to Hard
WICK, w., where OONeTuOT Dell llNeu.
He had been visiting Francis j. Wor-
cester, of 462 West 124 street, but feel
ing that he would be ill, he insisted
upon leaving for home Saturday af-
ternoon, Mr.. Worcester accompanying
him to the station. 1t was after he left
that Governor Bell was seized with
his sudden illness and as he was re-
cognized by anyone, his death was re-
ported as tnat of an unidentified man.
Among those who communicated
with Coroner Hamburger this morning
were Governor l.. H. Prouty of Ver-
mont, who with Mrs. Propty is at the
Waldorf, S. e. Davis of the Plaza Ho-
tel, a cousin of Governor Bell, and Mr..
Worcester, each of whom got news of
the death from the Sorning papers.
The body was then prepared for ship
ment by an undertaken. Mr.. Davis
said the former Governor had very
weak heart, which was aggravated by
his habit of hearty eating.

NEW STAMPS RECEIVED
Thirty Thousand of the New Hudson.
Fulton Stamps on Sale mt the Local
Post Office.

Postmaster Joseph G Brown has
received 10000 of the newly issued
Hudson-Fulton stamps and they were
placed on sale at the office Tuesday.
A large number have already been
sold and it Is thought that the entire
number will go before they are re-
called by the postoffice department.
The stamps are of red shade and
of the same size as the Yukon stamps,
which were first issued in August.
The engraving on them represents a
picture of the Hudson river with the
old Half Moon in full sail, while beside
it is the first steamboat, the Clermont
In the foreground is the primitive In
dian canoe. The clerks at the Office
say that these special stamps are hard
to handle, as they come in a different
size sheet, there being 60 stamps in
the new sheets, instead of an even
hundred is in the old
Notice was received at the local Of
flee a few days ago, that a new rate
is now in force between this country
and foreign lands, for merchandise.
This new rate is for parcels contain
ing miscellaneous articles and the
charge is 12c per pound. This rate
will affect the large mail order houses
of the East and Middle West and a
lively trade is likely to spring up
between the United States and foreign
countries, in small articles, as some
of these houses can now send mer-
chandise to the buyer through the
mails and sell them cheaper il Eng
land, for instance, than they can at
home.
The reason for this Is that the pos
tage rate in this country is four cents
more per pound than it is in foreign
lands. In other words, merchant in
Montpelier sending package weigh
ing one pound to the neighborine city
of Barre would have to pay 16 cents
while to send the same package to
London or any other foreign city
would cost him ~ cents.

ROBBED BY TWO WOMEN.
Well Known Local Young Man Vic
timized by Strangers But Money and
Jewelry is Returned.

A well known young man was rob
bed of large sum of money Monday
night by two women who were strang-
ers in this city. 1t was at first claimed
that $3.50 had been taken from him but
after an investigation made by the pol
ice, it was found that the amount was
much smaller than this and it is
thought that his friends, who were
with him earlier in the evening took
the larger roll from him and are saw
ing it.
Early in the evening he started out
with a few friends and in the course
of the evening took a few drinks. At
about 10 o'clock the party started for
their homes, and the young man who
was later robo ed being rather un-
steady on his feet, was taken in tow by
his companions and they had made
considerable progress up State street
when the two women came along. A
stopped to talk. After a while it was
suggested that as the rain was coming
down quite heavy they should take
shelter somewhere. This brought
forth an invitation from one of the
women that they should visit her room,
which was situated near by, in the
Dudley block. The young man wanted
to go, but his companions advised him
not to- During the argument which
followed, the girls started for their
room and the man, breaking away
from his friends followed in spite of
their efforts to detain him.
They waited short time for him to
return and then went to the police sta
ton and asked officer p. ]. Connolly,
who was on duty there, to aid them in
getting their friend home. The officer
going to the Dudley block found the
learned that the man had had a large
amount of money on his person. A
search revealed the fact that he had
| none and the women were taken to the
StatlOn ana CnleI J. .. w. DurKee sent
for. They claimed that they had done
nothing improper and had not brought
their victim to their room but that he
had followed Of his own free will. Be-
| ing in very intoXication condition
they said that he had offered them his
money to keep for him. This they re-
turned to the chief. They gave their
White. The young mans watch and
rings were also surrendered by the
women.
| After a further investigation. the
women were allowed to go, not how
ever before they had promised to
leave town.

PROBABLY WORK OF BOYS
Hearing Given Tramp Suspected Of
Attempting to Wreck Train ut Mid
dlebury

Middlebury, Sept. 2S.-A hearing
was given Walter Wallace, the tramp
who was found in box car Monday
evening by the railroad detectives
following the discovery of a tie and
several stones on the tracks in this
city, before Justice F. M. Foote. Wal
lace pleaded guilty to the charge of
vagrancy and was given 80 days in
the Addison county Jail.
The obstruction was placed lnder
some cars on a side track and was
discovered by the crew of switcl en-
gine working in the yards. The rail-
road officials are preparing to make
rigid investigation relative to the
occurrence, but it is generally suppos-
ed that it was the work of boys, as a
gang of them was seen about the yards
earlier in the evening. Wallace is a
cripple and is evidently a harmless
tramp. He was found asleep in one
of the empty box cars on a side track
when the officers searched the yard
after finding the obstruction on the
tracks.

SEMINARY GETS $1,000.
DIR. +. A. Bishop Announces Large
Addition to the Endowment Fund
and Indications of More i'm Sight.

DR.. E. A. Bishop, of Montpelier
Seminary, announced Tuesday evening
to a representative of the Journal,
that he had secured $1,000 during
the day for the endowment fund, the
time limit for which runs out on
Friday night at 12 o'clock. In ad-
dition to this amount, he stated that
there were indications that a con-
siderable sum would be forthcoming
from another source in day or two.
This looks as though the people
were waking up to the fact that the
subscribing of the endowment fund
means something to Montpelier Sem
mary and are taking hold of the
proposition with an eye to seeing 1t
through. Remember, Friday night
is the last opportunity 10 help the
cause along!
