Time, and Then His Workmen Rushed

Eliason one of the leading granite
manufacturers here and prominent
citizen, was severely injured while at
work at his shop this forenoon, being
thrown about by derrick machinery for
some time before his predicament was
discovered by workmen, who at once
rushed to stop the machinery. The in
iured man, in an unconscious condition,
was carried to the office of DIR. George
w. Darling, which was nearby.
Just how the accident happened Is
not known, as no one was looking in
the direction of the derrick where Mr.,
Elason was working; but it is supposed
that his clothing became entangled in
the machinery and that he was drawn
in and rendered incapable of saving him
self. He was bleeding badly when his
workmen got to his side.
Mr.. Eliason is 45 years Of age lie
came here from Massachusetts about a
dozen years ago, and has conducted a

THE VERMONT DILLINGHAMs.
Boston Herald Tells of Their Prominence
In Affairs.

The Boston Herald of yesterday has
the following to say Of the Dillinghams
OF Vermont;
"William Paul Dillingham;, United
States senator from Vermont, who spoke
before the North American Civic league
for immigrants at the Algonquin, last
night. Is one OF the famous Vermont
Diilinghams. His father, named Paul,
was elected governor OF the state in the
stirring sixties. and afterwards served
in Congress. He had been Demo-
crat till the opening OF the struggle,
when on patriotic grounds he came out
in strong support for the Union. The
Democrats, candidate in the preceding
year had BEEN John @. SAKE, the poet,
who, on the nomination by his oppo-
nents of Paul Dillingham;, composed
some doggerel, Of which this is the sub
stance; 20 eloquent Paul, venerable no.
men. The name in itself is an excellent
omen, Whom this year to put in the
governors chair, am free to declare,
= a mistake that would have
surpassed similar blunder which they
had committed in the last, etc"
"The elder Dillingham; was gifted
orator. He reared four sturdy sons: Ed
win. lawyer, laid down his life in the
battle Of Winchester; Charles has been
railroad president in Texas, the third
was the speaker Of the evening, while
fourth, Frank Dillingham;, was for
years antedating his brothers sena-
torial serviee-our counsel in New Zea-
land. He has been recently promoted
to a desirable European post
In throwing a bouquet to the speaker
and his state ex-Gov. Guild referred
to the bravery of Stannard's division
in breaking PiclSett's line of attack on
the field Of Gettysburg. Singularly
enough. among the men present last
night was member Of that very di'
vision, who for valor was promoted to
captaincy on the field, Albert Clarke
the well known secretary Of the Home
Market club. BY further coincidence
the title OF colonel" by which he is
popularity known, came to him iron
connection with the staff Of Governor
| Paul Dillingham;. 1t was the thirteenth
Vermont regiment in which young Clarke
served. Its clothing became so worr
as to be ridiculed By regiments which
/ had an easier lot, but IN the words Of 3
veteran Of the twelfth Vermont. wht
was also there last night, while ON
regiment was guarding wagon train
I the farmers boys Of the thirteenth wert
