Henry, aged Il, of Southbridge, Mass
The FIRE started at $50 o'clock yes
terday morning and destroyed the
bildins with loss OF $125,OQO. All
the $50 students got out safely, but
several had narrow escapes. The
college was run by the Brothers of

Revenge for being refused a vaea-

have been the reason for the lads
desire to burn the college.
Yesterday morning all the
boys went to church but
Marchand under the pre-
tense that he was i'll, obtained leave
to return to his room. Arriving
there he piled lot of paper in the

Beech Street Sunday Afternoon.

Young Deer Cdugnt by Boys on
Beech Street Sunday Afternoon.
A doe fawn, which was probably
driven out OF the woods east OF the
village by dogs, made its appearance
on Beech street Sunday afternoon and
was caught by number of small
boys. The fawn was somewhat ex-
hausted but was uninjured except
for two slight scratches apparently
from barb wire.
John Walsh notified County War
den h. S. Higgins that the fawn had
been caught by the boys who had tax
en- the little animal to a nearby barn.
The warden made arrangements with
Col. Thomas Harmon, superintendent
OF the Soldiers home. to temporarily
keep the fawn In the park on the
home grounds. The fawn was lifted
into sleigh and was taken to the
home grounds without any difficulty.
When placed inside the inclosure
there was trouble. Billy, the big
buck that has been In the park for
the past three years, at once at
tackled the fawn and would have
killed Il had not the warden and
the employees at the home interfered
Realizing that the fawn could not be
kept In the park, Warden Higgins
found the owner OF barn who
agreed TO care for Il few days while
awaiting instructions from State
Fish and Game Commissioner John
w. Titcomb.

Fred c. Martin Of Bennington Is
Among the Mentioned

Rutland, Jan. 29.-lt was learned
today that J. Walter Lyons an attor-

candidacy for the Office OF delegate
at large to the democratic national
convention to be held at Baltimore.
Mr.. Lyons, who has for II years been
prominent in democratic politics, will
favor the reelection OF Thomas IL.

mitteeman.
Mr.. Lyons has been identified with

ing several different offices. In 1900
he went to the national convention In
Kansas City as an alternate and al.
so went In the same capacity to the
convention at st. Louis in 1904. In
1908 Mr.. Lyons went to the conven-
ton at Denver as district delegate.
He was the democratic nominee for
Congress in this district In 1900.
Other members OF the Democratic
party who are prominently mentioned
for delegates are Fred c. Martin
of Bennington, Allan Calhoun OF Mid

though growing a little impatient un-
der his sudden change of demeanor,
did not wish to be disagreeable.
Certain it is that Mr. Ryan never
heard of the matter. Neither | nor
anyone else spoke 10 him on the sub
ject The effort of the Wilson pro
moters to revive it and bring it to
the front is simply an unprincipled at
tempt to divert the public attention
from the fact that Gov. Wilson has
been rafting round as hero be,
cause of his indignant rejection of
Ryan, the truth being that Ryan was
never pressed upon him at all.
His courageous reputation of
Harvey, which has put such feather
in his cap, was of piece with this.
Whilst Gov Wilson was receiving
popular applause because of his sac
rihce of private friendship to public
duty, he was groyeling at Harvey's
feet after pardon for the shameless
and heartless treatment he admitted
having bestowed on Harvey at the
Manhattan club. If he possesses a
spark of honorable sensibility he will
at once demand and require the pub
LEGATION of the abject letters he wrote
to Harvey when he was made to UNI
derstand and realize that he must
square the account of ingratitude, or
take the consequences
Meanwhile, let me say that whilst
the governors tardy repentance may
placate the forgiying Col. Harvey
whilst it may even satisfy the suscep-
tible Mr. Bryan refuse longer to
follow a man whose nomination
would in my judgment, be a disaster
and whose election a calamity. He
who could show himself so disloyal
to private friendship cannot be trust
ed to be loyal to anything. Within
single year Gov. Wilson's radical
change of base, his realignments and
establishments, personal and political,
his offenses to some and apologies to
others have been exactly concurrent
with his selfish aims. There seems
to be no abasement into which he is
unable to descend with equal facility
and grace. May God protect demo
cracy from such a leader and such
leadership!
