Probably Start

Burlington, Jan. 2S.--Edward Lynch,
43 years of age, died about o'clock

O'Clock, much smoke issuing from the
poolroom, and was seen by neighbors.
Upon the arrival of the firemen a quick

burned off and a part still burning. A
coat was Immediately wrapped about

10 lne nOspltdl.
1t appears that Lynch had asked per-
mission Wednesday evening to sleep in
the poolroom and his request was
granted by the proprietor.
From the appearances of the place
authorities stated that the fire probably
started from a pipe that the victim was
smoking when he fell asleep. The pipe
was found under the stove and was
badly burned The only damage done
to the room was charred place on the
floor and burned pocket of a pool
table.
Lynch is nephew of Captain Ed
ward Lynch of fire station two and a
relative of Peter Lynch, a member of
the local police force. He was car.
penter by trade.

California early in February, John Nc
Hugo, the oldest engineer of the Barre
& Chelsea railroad, who. had been in
poor health for some time, failed rap
idly and passed away at noon.
Bripht's disease had been the dis
ease with which he had been suffering
but his decline was probably FASTENED
by the tragic death of son, John Nc
Hugo, jr, brakeman on the Barre q

Cured at Graniteville last April, and

tire state. He had been railroading for
40 years, having first gone with the Ca
NADIA & Atlantic railroad in Canada.
until 1892 when he came to Barre and
entered the employ of the railroad to
the granite quarries. He had been en-
gagged in that service ever since that
time.

1863, the son of John and Winnifred
McHugo, and spent his early life there,

of 10 he was acting as an engineer, an
exceptionally young age for an engi-
neer and showing his aptitude for the
work
Mr.. McHugo was married q years
ago to Miss Emma Riviat OF Vergennes,
and she survives him, together with
two sons, Walter and Winifred, both
of Barre. He also leaves one brother,
Patrick McHugo of North Adams,

He was a member of Barre council,
knights of Columbus, of the Barre
Order of Foresters and of the
of Locomotive Engineers.
Mr.. McHugo had large number Of
friends in Barre and vicinity, who will
be shocked to hear of his death. 1t
