wHITCoNrB BADLY HURT
Ran into a Team and Was Thrown
from MOtOrcycle-Left UncOn-
SciOuS.

Ralph Whitcomb was seriously in
iured Sunday night when his motor
cycle struck the front wheel of a
team as he was passing through st.
Johnsbury Center. 1t was about mid
night when the accident occurred
and it was several hours before
Whitcomb regained consciousness.
DR.. Fitch was called and the injured
man taken to Brightlook where he
was found to be suffering from con-
cussion of the brain, and minor
bruises. He is on the dangerous list,
but his chances of recovery are
good. Whiteomb was running at a
rapid rate when he saw the team, and
thought they had turned out far
enough for him to pass, but in the
uncertain light he misjudged the dis
tance, and struck the front wheel of
the team, throwing him head first
into the road. No blame is attached
to the people in the team.

new HOTEL OPENED
The St. JOhnsbury House One OF
VermOuRs Best HOsteIries--
First Guests Yesterday.

without any formality, but IN re-
sponse to an urgent demand for the
best hotel accommodations by a party
from New York, Landlord and Mrs.
H. E. Moore opened the remodelled
st. Johnsbury House yesterday. 1t
might as well be called st. Johns
bury's new hotel because there is not
scrap of the old building in sight
in the new building either inside or
out. The bright, easy rooms in their
fresh dress and furnishings offer no
suggestion of former days and when
the place is completed st. Johnsbury
can offer as good accommodations to
travellers as any hotel in the state.
1t will be two weeks before the
first floor is finished and the front
Office thrown open for use. But the
entrance is made now from Central
street and temporary office arrang-
ed on the second floor. When finish
ed the front Of the first floor will be
used for an Office. Back of it on the
south side will be the writing room
and back of the desk will be Mr..
Moore's private Office. On the Cen
tral street side back of the front Of

toilet room and lavatory opening off
from it. The wash room will be in
the rear on the Central street side.
The new dining room will be
surprise to old acquaintances of the
house as it has been entirely remod-
elled, has a fine birch floor, light
colored paper and new electric fix
lures makes it as bright and cheer
ful as a DriVate dining room
The second, third and fourth
floors are given over entirely to
rooms. The second and first floors
are finished in birch and the fourth
in spruce in the natural color. On
each floor is a public toilet room and
there are 16 rooms with private bath.
The rooms are arranged so that
suites of from two to four rooms
with bath can be arranged as de-
sired. New furnishings have been
put into the rooms and all through
the house light and pleasantness have
been successfully aimed at.

MET TWO DEFEATS
St. JOhnsbury Finds Littleton and N.
AttIebOrO Too Fast-Yester-
days Contest.

Yesterday the fast North Attle-
boro, Mass, team took the locals into
camp by the score of two to one.
There were several times when each
team was close to scoring more runs,
but it was impossible to quite make
them. The real reason for the defeat
was the. inability of St. Johnsbury to
find Glennon, Levasseur being the
only man to register safe hit off
the elongated pitcher Glennon did
not do spectacular box work, but kept
the usually heavy-hitting locals pop
ping flies or batting weak rollers to
the infield. Glennon looked to be
about the best pitcher who has so
far visited us. Lamond in left field
pulled down one pretty fly and
knocked out the only extra base hit
of the game, besides hitting for one
base, also, and Curry at third base
looked pretty good around the bag.
ST. Johnsbury lost two good chances
to score, and probably the game in
this way. In the second inning, after
Connor had been retired Smythe
whaled the ball into deep left center
for a three base hit, but neglected
the ball being relayed in and thrown
to first lost Smythe an almost sure
run. Again in the fifth, with one
down, Levasseur singled. Hoernle
running for him took third, while Joe
Moore beat out hit along the first
base line, but the melee looked to
the umpire as if Moore had been
touched out, and he so declared it.
The next man struck out. Aside from
these two chances, st. Johnsbury did
not really threaten again. Their lone
run came in the third, when Levas-
seur's grounder was missed by Cur
ry, and he advanced to second on
Moore's out and scored on an error
by Crehan. North Attleboros run
came in the third also. Cox, first
man up, singled, and Witt dropped
the throw on Reeds bunt, which
should have put him out. Glennon
sacrificed them along, and Kelley
singled, scoring Cox. Flavin flied out
to Moore, and Reed scored on the
out. The last out was a liner into
Connor's hands. In the second in
ming after Curry had singled and
taken third on Lamond's single,
Lamond went to second for an easy
steal, and Hoernle and Witt worked
the old quick throws from home to
second and back to home in plenty
of time to put out Curry. After this
the visitors took no chances on
throwing arm. Hoernle
caught small foul fly that just lift
ed over his head on an attempted
bunt in the seventh that was a piece
of quick playing. He relayed the
ball to first to catch Glennon, who
was a little ways off, but just failed
of the second out, though the crowd
appreciated the quick thinking.
Scott and Connor contributed a
couple of cross-diamond rifie-like
throws that were good for put outs,
and Moore turned loose one Of his
famous heaves to the plate in the
third, though too late to catch Reed.
The score:

in the serving. Double acting doors
connect these rooms also.
A New Furnace Room.
An addition will be built on the
rear of the building for the furnace
room. Two large heaters will be in
stalled which will furnish heat to
the entire building. There will also
be stoves in the ladies' parlor and
in that part of the main room in the
basement that is nearest the stage.
This will be so that should these
rooms be used, at a time when the
rest of the building was not heated,
they could be sufficiently warm
Several windows will be cut into
the basement, making the large room
exceptionally light The foundation
will be nearly all rebuilt.
The main auditorium will be prac-
tically unchanged in construction,
but the walls will all be freshly
painted and ornamented with fres-
Going. The exterior of the church
will also be painted This together
with the other alterations will make
the church a very attractive, con-
venient, well equipped building.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE STARTS
St. JOhnsbury Academy Out for State
Championship This Year.

st. JOhnsbury Academy Out for State
Championship This Year.
The Academy foot ball squad
began their first practice Sat-
urday under the direction of
their last years coach, a form
er Cornell star The team is
out for the state championship this
year and the prospects are most
promising. All but one of last year S
team will return and there is good
material coming in from. outside The
team last year was composed en-
tirely of new men, yet they lost only
two games in the whole season.
Considering what was accomplish
ed last year with so much green ma
terial, the Academy team, with the
advantage of the experience and
a winner.
The greatest handicap that the
Academy teams suffer from is the
lack of support from the towns
people. The athletic team must have
large enough crowds at the games to
pay expenses, and buy the necessary
apparatus for instruction. The team
last fall was severely handicapped by
the lack of a tackling dummy, but
that difficulty they hope to overcome
this year.
The schedule of games this year
includes the best teams in the state,
Montpelier High 2, Spaulding 2,
Seminary 2, Newport High
2, and Lyndon Institute 2. The first
game is with Montpelier Seminary
here, September 19.

TO REMODEL THEIR CHURCH
UniVersalists to Build New Entrance
and Change the Basement.

At a meeting of the Second Uni
versalist society in the Yestry of the
church Friday evening, it was voted
to authorize the trustees, Frank
Spaulding, Frank Scott, Fred Gibson,
H A. Chesley and @. F. Sanborn, to
carry out plans for extensive repairs
to be made on the church building.
They may feel at liberty to use be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 in this
work The plans made by George B..
Burgess architect, are very nearly
completed and will soon go to the
hands of the contractors.
The exterior of the church will be
greatly improved by a new main en-
trance. The broad main walk lead
ing to the edifice will divide and an
entrance will be made by two flights
of six steps on either side of a land
ing IL IL feet by IL feet, and
thence up seven broad steps to the
door, which will be on a level with
the auditorium. The roof over the
whole will be supported by square
pillars. This method of entrance by
part of the steps at the side will not
only give a more attractive appear
ance to the building, but will pre-
vent the church from looking too
highly elevated. A new entrance
will be cut into the basement on the
Cherry street side, near the front of
the building An entrance for the
convenience of the choir boys and
the minister will be cut at the west
side of the building into the dress
ing room which will be arranged
for them at the left of the organ.
The main door leads into a vesti-
bule which will be raised to the
same height as the auditorium. Save
for a connection between the two
small rooms on either side of the
organ this part of the building will
not be greatly changed. Stairs will
go to the basement from the tower at
the right of the main entrance and
also from one of the dressing rooms
at the other end of the church.
Changes in Basement.
The most extensive repairs will be
made in the basement. Instead of
having the kitchen in the south end
of the building as it is now, this
space will be used for a spacious
stage, 22x17 IL feet. 1t will have
a rounding front and convenient I
dressing rooms on either side and I
will be very well adapted for little I
A large room ASK /
81 IL feet designed for a Sunday |
school room, can readily be used to /
an audience. Rolling
partitions may be pulled and divide
this into rooms of more convenient !
size for Sunday school work. A new
hardwood floor will be laid and the
walls will be done over.
In the northeast corner of the
building a ladies' parlor has been
Folding doors are cut
from this room into the main room
so that the stage may be seen from
there. There is a large closet and
toilet adjoining this room.
The kitchen is on the west side of
the building opposite from the ladies'
parlor. This is fitted up in a most
manner. There is a large
range and table in the center of the
room, and around the room are vari-
Ous cupboards, shelves, cabinets. a
gas stove, etc. There are two slides
into the large room that will be used
for a dining room. These slides have

Ladies OF St. Anne.

Sunday was celebrated as feast
day for st. Anne, the patron of the
society OF St. Anne at the Notre
Dame church. At the 1880 mass in
the morning, the members OF this so
ciety sang, and they also partook of
holy communion in a body. At the
evening service &c new members
were admitted into the membership
OF the society. The sermon was
preached by Father II. c. Drouhin,
who Is director OF the society. The
benedictiOn was sung by the ladies.
The society is very hourishing now
under the presidency OF Mrs. Arthur
