wreck which occurred one mile north of

promised to be blocked for many hours,
the mail for places north of here was
sent from White River Junction over
the Boston h Maine railroad to Wells
River and thence over the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad to Montpelier and
again to the main line Of the Central
Vermont railroad at Montpelier june

enough so that trains resumed their
trips over the main line by the middle

MAY SEEK NEW QUARTERS.
City May Be Forced to House It's Poor
Somewhere Else.

There is possibility that the city
will have to seek new quarters for its
poor before summer arrives. On June
4, an agreement between the city council
and the cemetery commissioners which
was signed five years ago reaches its
expiration and the prospect for a salts
tory settlement Of affairs is not suffi-
GENTLY bright to put the council wholly
at ease in regard to the care OF the poor
According to the agreement, the
buildings at the city farm and the small
plot of land utilized for garden piir-
poses are decided to the uses of cemetery
commissioners. Any time in the period
of five years now drawing to close the
commissioners had full authority to
take possession Of the buildings, but
this action was never taken Now that
the agreement is about to expire, the
are anxious to have the
buildings retained for tie use of the
city's poor, but it is quite certain. too,
that they viii insist on the city paying
rent for their use. The new council has
been advised of the situation and the
charity committee has evinced dispo-
sition to grasp the dilemma by the horns.

BLACKSMITH MAYOR NO LONGER.
Because Burke of Burlington Has Sold
Shop After Al Years.

Burlington. March 5.-Mayor James
H. Burke Yesterday sold his blacksmith
shop at 1877 South Winooski avenue and
retired from a business in which he has
been actively engaged in the city OF
Burlington for Al years. The shop and
fixtures were purchased by Herman A.
Stark, who is a blacksmith of more than
20 years experience. the past seven
years being at Fort Ethan Allen Mr..
Stark will conduct the business in the
future.
There are few if any men In the smith
ing business in the city who have been
engaged SO long in that vocation as
Mayor Burke. He came TO the city
from Williston II years ago and opened
a shop in Mechanics street, and did bus
mess there for n years. He then moved
to the Winooski avenue shop, where he
has continued for the last 20 years.
Although the mayor has been busy
man in the period mentioned, he has
found time and opportunity to engage
actively in city politics and has beaten
all records in length of service as mayor
He has served four one year terms and
two two-year terms, eight years in all
if he completes the last term He says
that he likes nothing better than being
mayor and wishes there was more power
vested in the Office so that he could
bring about certain reforms in city gov
ernment which he thought, by his long
experience, were necessary. Mr.. Burke
was also an alderman in 1891
The mayor having severed his eonnec-
ton with the business in which he had
been engaged so long naturally has plans
for the future and the reporter asked
him what they were, but he replied that
there was nothing yet to say on that
subject. The rumor has steadily gained
ground in the last few days that the ap-
pointment of Mayor Burke to the office
Of collector of customs for this district
was only matter of short time, the
truth of which will be known before long
when the news of the appointment comes
from Washington.

Pape's Friends Hopeful.

By the way of the Springfield Repub-

that the two greatest plums in the state
and which have been looked for by many
of the faithful-the two colleetorships
are to go, in the first district to Mayor
Burke of Burlington and the second dis
trict to G. II. Pape of Barre. These men
are regarded as progressive" Demo-
Gratis and are, said will be the winners.
We don't know much about Mayor
Burke but we do know that in G. H.
Pape a splendid man will be found, and
his friends up here in Lamoille county
sincerely hope the prediction win prove
true in his -Morrisville News and

weeks. During the summer he leaves

Available at city hall: Nearly 1000
sputum cups Of the I,200 purchased by
the city council over year ago for the
use of consumptives. The plan to pro-
vide every suspected patient in Barre
with one of the cups has evidently mis-
carried, for thus far hardly more than
a couple of hundred cups have been
claimed. The remnant OF the purchase
is still accessible at city hall. although
the calls for cups occur at rare inter
yals. The agitation in favor OF sup
plying free sputum cups for those who
need them was started by Alderman
David Dawson soon after his election to
the council from the fourth ward. Lat
er in the year the aldermanic health
committee was authorized to purchase
1900 cups and they were left at the
city clerks office to be distributed. There

movement seems to have miscarried.

months of baseball and if the predictions
of the manager prove true the coming
