DUG UP A cAsKET.
Burlington Police Don't Know What TO
Think About 1t.

Burlington, Jan. IA mystery was
unearthed yesterday by worlmen en-
gagged in digging on Depot street, when
q casket containing what was left of
the body Of an infant was dug up by
Frank Brothers, who is in the employ
Of the street department. Both the cas-.
Set and the body of the child were in
an advanced stage of decay, showing
that the body had been buried for some
time, probably one or two years.
The box was in sand hill several
rods south OF the northern end of the
new street and was discovered by a
chance blow from a pick axe. Brothers
sunk his pick into what he at first
thought was q box of tin cans. On in
vestigation he found box about foot
and half in length, which had evil
IDENTIFY been vanished and was equipped
with handles. A group Of workmen
quickly gathered and after removing the
partially decayed cover they found to
their horror that it contained the body
of young child.
The clothing was blackened with de-
cay and upon being exposed to the air
quickly fell into dust. The skull and
some OF the larger bones OF the body
which remained intact were those of a
very small child.
The police were notified and the cas-
ket was taken to police station number
two in charge of Police Officer Mongeon.
Health Officer Dalton was notified hut
the body had reached such an advanced
stage of decay that he was unable to
discern whether il was that of boy
or girl. A ribbon had evidently been
tied about the neck and clasped with
cheap safety pin.
The officials do not seem to attach
much Importance to the find and do not
accept the theory OF foul play. States
Attorney Shaw will, however, be notified,
upon his return to the city

Rutland, Jan. THE large mill Of
the Penrhyn Slate company at Hydeville
was totally destroyed by fire early this
