NEW POST OFFICE.
n dlebury Now Has One of Best
in New d-Oescription
of New Quarters.

The Mlddlebury post office moved into
its new spacious quarters in the Battell
block on Main street between Saturday
and Monday morning. The office for
the past Is years has been located on
the corner of Main street and Mer-
chants Row, having moved from the
building now occupied by the express
Office on Main street during the admin
istration of Postmaster E. H. Thorpe,
who was succeeded by Lewis A. Skiff
as postmaster, who held the position
for about ii years
The new Office is one of the best
equipped and up-to-date offices in the
State. The removal of the office was
agitated about a year and half ago by
Post Office Inspector w. p Armstrong,
and the work was carried out by In
spector F. J. Buckley and the present
postmaster, A. T. Calhoun During the
past l6 years the Office force has been
increased from two to sixteen people,
including the rural free delivery carriers
and village carriers, the latter system
having been established several years
ago.
The floor space of the new office has
a dimension of 67x34 feet and six
inches, with an ell-shaped lobby of
1894 feet, six inches The carriers
room occupies a space l2Xl2 feet The
postmaster's office is lOXl2 feet. The
rooms are all finished in oak with frost
glass screen partitions. There is also a
room l0Xl0 in which the money-order,
registered letter and postal savings
business is conducted. The office fur
niture is finished in oak to harmonic
with the general office fixtures through
out the room. The incoming and out
going mails are carried by means of an
electrical elevator built in the back part
of the building to the transfer mail
/ wagon and also to the rural delivery
carriers This system does away with
any possible annoyance to patrons a
the windows. The floor space of the
sorting and distributing department
has been increased and additional table:
have been added. The lighting system
is of the very best and latest design
the lobby being equipped with the
Brascolite fixtures.
The late Col. Joseph Battell, unde
whose direction the new post office wa
planned and equipped. spared neithe
time nor money in giving Middebur.

THE RESTORATION OF AN OLD
COLONIAL HOUSE

One Hundred Years ago there wa
built by one Horatio Seymour, the fa-
nous War Senator of New York State.
on one of the prominent corners in the
heart of Middlebury, simple substan-
tlal house of the type which we call the
Colonial At that time it stood delight
fully alone, for not until quarter of a
century later was the railroad put
through, and not for a good many years
were built many of the adjacent houses
which we think of now as old land
marks. OF Mr.. and Mrs Seymour's
several children, but one was a daugh-
ter, Emma. She married Mr.. Philip
Battel of Norfolk and continued after
her marriage to live in the house of her
childhood. Here were born her two
children, the late Joseph Battell and
his sister, Emma, who became Mrs.
John W. Stewart, and whose daughter,
Mrs. Charles M. Swift is at present
occupying the old homestead
With the exception of long wooden
ell which was added to the original
square brick house comparatively early
in its career and two or three practical
changes which were made about fifty
years ago, the house has stood Just as it
was built, simple, spacious and substan-
tla, a splendid example of the Old
/ Colonial type. After the recent much
lamented death of Joseph Battell, who
made the old house his home for many
years, his niece, Jessica Stewart Swift.
decided to carry out a very simple plan
of alteration which she and her uncle
had often discussed. The ell at the
rear of the house has been removed ac-
cordngly and a latticed porch with
/ beautiful arches has been substituted.
Inside the main structure practically
no material changes have been made.
Built on the square Colonial plan and
with view to light, high and spacious
rooms the house has unusually fine pro-
portions and every room is beautifed
with a simple fireplace. The main hall
separates symmetrically the two large
adjoining drawing rooms and the dining
room. The most charming feature OF
this hall is the unusual and very beauti
ful staircase which was so admired anc
cherished by one of the daughters OF
the house as to lead her to provide il
her will for its perpetual retention
The low wide stairs with their pin,
rail and spindles, slim and exquisitel,
modelled, curves in one full graceful
sweep from the front of the lower hal

MURDER" VERDICT
CORONER'S JURY
STORY OF DISASTER is RELATED
AT HEARING BEFORE BRIT.
lSH CORONER.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Cunard
liner Lusitania, sunk last week off
Old Head of Kinsale by a submarine,
was struck by only one torpedo, Capt,
Turner, of the steamer testified today
at the coroner's inquest at Kinsale.
But this deadly missile found vital
spot and sent the liner to the bottom
in less than 20 minutes, carrying
with her more than a thousand souls.
The evidence of Capt. Turner which
cleared up many other points con-
corning the disaster, and that of men,
bers of the crew with gneral knowl-
edge of the situation, led the jury tC
bring in a verdict of wholesale MUIR
der" against the German emperor and
his government and the officers of the
submarine directly responsible for the
sinking of the ship.
1t was also disclosed today by Capt,
Turner and by Winston Spencer
Churchill, in statement in the
house of commons, that the captain
had received wireless advices from
the admiralty warning him of sub
marines the liners course. Capt.
Turner, in his testimony, said he had
followed this advice ito the best Of
my ability"
