to y.b Prospective Hardwick Railroad. E. H. Deavitt, of Montpelier, has been in Boston for several days consulting with engineers in regard to what was the best power to be used on the proposed Montpelier, Hardwick Newport railroad. Mr.

Deavitt was a member of the committee having this matter in charge. The committee is to prepare its report, and a meeting of the promoters will be held later. A steam road appears to be the most favored by the engineers. Town Clerk Illegally Elected. At the March meeting in Elmore, H.

Atkins was elected town clerk to succeed Norman Camp, who has been town clerk for about a quarter of a century. It was discovered, however, that Mr. Atkins had not been a resident of the long enough to become a legal voter in the meeting in which he was elected, and Mr. Camp holds over. Under the peculiar circumstances there is no vacancy in the office and the only way out of the muddle is for both Camp and Atkins to resign and hold a special town meeting to fill a the vacancy which will then exist.

It is said that this will soon be done. Mysterious Deaths at Windsor. After a study of the recent fatal outbreak of disease in the western part of the town of Windsor, the state board of health reports that these cases seem to be of severe blood poisoning, in which the poison variously affected the internal organs. The disease was highly infectious, and probably contagious. They cannot find that the septic condition coincided with any recognized infection or eruptive fever, or that these cases were traceable directly or indirectly to any other infectious disease.

They. therefore, conclude that local conditions were somewhat, at least, responsible. No new cases are reported. and the board health has every reason to think that the disease is checked. Six deaths occurred from the mysterious malady.

Mr. Parker for Prohibition. The Cambridge Transcript says: In an interview with W. H. Parker, who was made one of the vice-presidents of the Local Option League organized at Rutland last week, he stated that his appointment was a complete surprise as he had received no notice of same, and furthermore had had no knowledge of a meeting being held at Rutland until we called attention to the fact of his being elected as an officer.

When asked for his views and position in regard to the Anti-Saloon-Local Option campaign, he stated most emphatically that he would abide by the present prohibitory law until he could be convinced that a change would be beneficial to the people and further the temperance cause in this state. Rochester Stage's Last Trip. Saturday, March 23, saw the last trip the Rochester stage, which has run from Bethel ever since the Central Vermont railroad was built. For thirty years of that time the late William Tinkham and Paul C. Tinkham have run it, and of late has been perhaps the most important stage line in the state.

The final day was recognized by the invitation of several gentlemen from up the river to take the ride and dine at the Bascom house. Together with several local business men they were photographed with the NERVITA PILLS Restore Vitality, Lost Vigor and Manhood Cure Impotency, Night Emissions, Loss of Mem. ory, all wasting diseases, all excess effects and of self-abuse indiscretion. or 60 A nerve tonic and PILLS blood builder.

Before securing the contract to carry the mails William Tinkham was for many years engaged in freighting by team between Rochester and Boston, Lowell, Concord. Paul Tinkham, the well known deputy sheriff, feels quite lost without the stage, which he drove in person about fifteen vears. Drunken Man Scared His Family. James Mack, of Cornwall, visited Middlebury Saturday evening and went rome in a somewhat maudlin condition. Hoping to make himself presentable to the members of his household he dallied with the wash basin mistaking an open package of paris green of last summer's vintage for the soap dish.

He besmeared himself with some of its contents then a happy thought struck him and he rushed into the presence of his children and house keeper with great grimace and demonstration. Thinking the man had en some of the poison instead of too much of another a son mounted horse and sped to Middlebury for doctor. Dr. Stanton Eddy responded but did not find it necessary to use stomach pump or any other heroic treatment. The rumor that the man was at death's door from acrid poisoning gained ground and some credence on account of some queer actions and statements made Saturday.

He is nevertheless alive doing well. Favors Oleomargarine Bill. Senator Dillingham, during the late session of Congress has occupied seat No. 82 in the Senate chamber, formerly occupied by Senator Ross, and was quartered at the Cochran. As this was his first session he has been spending the time in getting into harness and becoming acquainted The lof interest to this that has senator says that nothing, transpired not already been announced.

He expects that the Grout oleomargarine bill will come up again next session. He thinks it could have passed the Senate had a vote been taken. It was crowded out by other work, and when it was in a fair way to coming up ten of the senators who opi posed the measure gave notice that they would speak on it, which discouraged action at this session. The bill meets with. opposition from the Northwest, where the cattlemen believe the passage of the bill will reduce the price of steers, and in the South, where cotton seed oil is produced.

Both these two factors are important ingredients in oleo. Mr. Dillingham is now home until next cember when Congress convenes again. Dr. Webb Returns to Vermont.

Dr. W. Seward Webb and party arrived at Shelburne Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock after having been absent in the West since February 16. The trip East from the Pacific coast was made in a special train and in very fast time. The statement that an attempt was made to make the crip a record-breaker is denied.

Dr. Webb has had an excellent trip and is in good health. He will go New York in a few days to attend several business to engagements. In the party, in addition to Dr. and Mrs.

Webb, a Miss Frederica Webb and Master Vanderbilt Webb. were the following: Mr. and Mrs. James Lawrence, of Groton, Mr. and Mrs.

George Bird, of New York, Miss Catherine Dix, the daughter of the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, and Miss Betty Metcalf, of New York. The special train was made up of the private care Swannanoa, Genesta, Ellsmere and the sleeper Malacca, a dining car and a horse ande baggage comtination car. The train left San cisco at 6 o'clock on March 19 and arrived at Shelburne at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

No stops were made except for the change engines, for water, and the icing of the cars. From San Francisco to Ogden to the time was slower than that of the Overland Limited. From Ogden to Omaha and Chicago the time was perhaps the fastest ever made. From Grand Island to Omaha over the Union Pacific the time was from 70 to 75 miles an hour and at one point 63 miles were covered in 51 minutes. Over the Lake Shore and New York Central from Chicago to New York the time was that the Chicago Limited, while from Albany to Shelburne, a distance of about 150 miles, the time was three hours and a half.

In Dr. Webb's opinion the time of the famous Palmer run can be beaten, owing to the excellent physical condition of the roads. The party went first to Colorado Springs then to the Grand Canon of Arizona, to Coronado Beach, Santa Francisco. Barbara, to Monterey and Smallpox in Pownal. Nine well developed cases of smallDOX were discovered in the village of North Pownal Saturday.

For four weeks the disease has been prevailing in a mild form in one family. No physician was called till Saturday when he pronounced it smallpox. Befor that time fully two hundred employees in the mill of the Pownal Manufacturing Company and Wright Felt Underwear Company had been exposed. The matter has also been reported to thestate board of health. It is not known how the disease originated.

but it is thought it was brought in a bale of wool. The spread has evidently been caused by negligence. It has been ascertained that several members of the C. A. Cutler family have had the disease in a mild form during the past four or five weeks.

On account of the mildness of the attack Doubly physician and, the not being quarantined, neighbors and friends have visited the sick peiple. Several persons about the town were taken ill, and when the physicians were summoned the disease was pronounced smallpox. It was stated that one man employed in the North Pownal Manufacturing Com pany was working, although he had the symptoms of the disease. An investigation followed, and the man was removed from the mill. This was not, however, until nearly 200 employees.

in the mill had been exposed to the disease. In a short time physicians were called in council by Daniel T. Bates, of Pownal, agent of the state board of health, and Saturday morning Dr. Homer Bushnell, of North Adams, was summoned as an expert. The result is that stringent measures are being used to suppress the further spread of the disease.

These are said to be the first cases here in nearly half a century. Evidence in Fraser Will Case Closed. The evidence in the Fraser will case at Burlington, was closed early Saturday afternoon and the Chittenden county court took a recess until Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, when the arguments in the case will be made. The contestants occupied all of the forenoon with the examination of the witnesses and rested when court came in at 1:30 p. m.

After ten minutes for consultation the proponents introduced the evidence of but one witness in rebuttal and at 1:40 the evidence was closed. The witnesses examined by the contestants Saturday were Mrs. James Fleming, of Monkton, Henry Fraser, David Fraser, the Rev. T. J.

Harris, and Henry M. Page, of Hinesburgh. The proponents used C. M. Smith, of Burlington as the only witness in rebuttal.

He identified the book in which a record of the teams let from his stable was kept and referring to the record of Thursday, April 20, 1899, said that the book showed that he let a ter.n to Henry Fraser on the afternoon of that day to go to Hinesburgh. The book was admitted as evidence, both it and the witness being used to discredit Henry Fraser's testimony which was to the effect that he went to Hinesburgh on Wednesday. The direct examination of Henry Fraser was resumed with the opening of court Saturday morning and he said he did not destroy his brother's will given him for the purpose because he considered the paper of no use anyway. In reference to his brother's condition when he saw him previous to his death he said he was very weak. In response to questions of Mr.

Foster in crossexamination Mr. Fraser said he did not consider that he had a right to destroy his brother's will. He kept it but did not turn it over to those who had charge of his brother's estate. He the livery stable where he got the had 1 attempted to look up the record of team to go out to see his brother in order to secure the date but did not find the time. In his evidence he gave the day as Wednesday.

Proponents produced the record from the livery stable but a question embodying the fact that the book showed the team to have been secured on Thursday instead of Wednesday was excluded. Mr. Fraser still maintained that he got the team on Wednesday. The examination of the witness was completed at 10 o'clock. The contestants secured an exception on the question as to the day the team was hired in which the livery record was used.

Mrs. Janet Fleming, of Monkton, who is the mother of nine children, was next called. She testified Alexander Fraser once let her have $10 toward buying a place but they did not do so because it was not enough. When they bought place Mr. Fraser told her to make the first payment and would see that rest was paid.

The witness was the daughter of Margaret, the sister of Alexander Fraser. David Fraser, of Hinesburgh, the sone, testified that he know of no unfriendly relations between his father or the other brothers with the testator. The witness was used in an effort to impeach Mr. Bronson's testimony given earlier in the case in relation to the taking of the testator's list. The Rev.

T. J. Harris, a Congregational minister, located in Hinesburgh, was next witness for the contestants. He was at the town clerk's office when Mr. Fraser sold his place to Robert Montgomery.

Mrs. Harris loaned money to Mr. MontFraser gomery said pay he felt unwell and had to for the place. Mr. to rely on his brother James in business matters.

Henry M. Page, of Hinesburgh, had known Mrs. Janet Fleming, a former witness, and also Alexander Fraser, her uncle. The latter told the witness he would never let the Flemings lose the place they bought. There was no cross-examination.

Murder Committed in 1831 Unearthed. The Journal is responsible for the following: Last week Saturday afternoon as some workmen were removing a cellar wall under an old dilapidated building just north of the bridge that crosses Fair Haven river, a quarter of a mile above Carver's Falls, they unearthed and solved a mystery that occurred seventy years ago. They were removing some heavy flat stone at the base of the wall, when suddenly the earth gave way under their feet, and they were precipitated into a pit Things New at the T-Store.

FOLLOW STOMACH about eight feet deep. When they had somewhat recovered from their fright and confusion they commenced an examination of the premises.

They found the pit to be about seven feet square and a solid stone wall about twenty inches thick surrounded it. In the center of the pit or room was set a solid iron post about four feet high and four inches in thickness, and attached to this post was a heavy iron chain three feet in length and linked to this chain was and oldfashioned pair of handcuffs and near by was a heap of human bones. dently this pit or prison had been the abode of some poor human being who had been kept in seclusion from the outside world until disease or starvation had terminated in death. About seventy-five years ago a young Frenchman by the name of Perry Borden came into this neighborhood and hired out to work on a farm. He proved to be a good hand and Mr.

Hamilton, his employer, kept him for nearly five years. He was economical and frugal and saved nearly all of his wages. He often spoke of a little girl in Canada, who was to become his wife. At last he concluded to go to Montreal and bring her home. Before going, however, he spent nearly three months in building the shanty or house above alluded to.

One in May, 1831, Perry Borden again ed in town accompanied by a ing and exceedingly pretty French girl, about 20 years of age, who he introduced as his wue. They occupied the little house already prepared for them and everything apparently went along pleasantly for a time. The young wife was witty and vivacious and attracted considerable attention from some of the young men that lived in the neighborhood. At last Mr. Borden became jealous of his young wife and forbade her visiting a certain tavern that was kept near by.

The young and -tempered wife would not submit to be dictated to by her husband and continued to occasionally visit the old inn. One dark, stormy night in November, 1831, she visited the place last time. Her husband came to the door of the old hotel about 10 o'clock and called for his wife. She immediately arose and went with him, that was the last that was ever seen of pretty Mrs. Borden.

A few days later inquiries were made concerning her and Mr. Borden said his wife had deserted him and fled to No steps were ever taken to ascertain the facts in the case and the disappearance remained unsolved. Mr. Borden remained at the old home for a year, then he locked up the shanty and boarded up the windows, and the same day left for unknown. He was never heard of again until 1882, when he suddenly appeared in town.

He was an old gray headed man. He had been gone fifty years and had been at sea all this long period of time. He was familiar with nearly every seaport in the world. His mind seemed somewhat shattered and he had spells when he was sullen, morose, and some thought dangerous. would never have anything to say about his wife and no one in this vicinity had heard him mention her name since his return from sea.

He went to the little house by the banks of the river and remained two years, the neighbors carrying in provisions is enough to appease his hunger. He finally became sick and the town took charge of him. He died September 20, 1887, and was buried in the potter's field. It is now believed by every one in this vicinity that Perry Borden licked his young wife up in this underground cellar and chained her to the iron post, put handcuffs on her and left her to die a slow and horrible death. But probably no new development will ever be made that W.al give more light on this strange and sad, sad story.

Expert Treatment. A NEGRO STATESMAN. The Career of the First Colored Senator. HIRAM R. REVELS OF MISSISSIPPI Was a Minister of the Gospel, Conservative and Diplomatic Sumner at First His Powerful Friend.

The death of ex-Senator Hiram R. Revels of Mississippi recalls one of the most unique personalities ever occupying a seat in the Senate of the United States, says the Kansas City Journal. Like other men of his day, he was the creation of circumstances, and was P. possessed of traits of character which commended him to the people whose interests he was selected to serve. Among such characteristics the strongsud est was his conservative cast of mind, which made its radicalism of a milkand-water type.

In fact, he was more a radical in theory than in practice. It is a notable fact that he was a wise adviser in bringing about a condition of peace and good will among the lately liberated slaves, to whom he ministered when engaged in his calling. In his public utterances, both as preacher and politician, there was a striking absence of all bitterness, and this remarkable irenic spirit impressed men of both parties and increased a wholesome influence with both races. By profession Revels was a Methodist minister, and was born of free parents at Fayette, N. C.

When reconstruction was completed in Mississippi and carpetbag rule dominated, many of the Southern states, Rev. els was elected to the 1 States Senate as its first senatorial representative since the close of the Civil war. Revels was a mildmannered ST. man of portly build. His mental acquirements were rather extraordinary for a colored man of the period emerging into publicity, with no special qualifications for civic duties.

In appearance he was an excellent the farly educated preacher, possessing dignity of bearing and a fluency of speech. Sumner Played Mentor. However accustomed to address his own race, Revels now found himself in a new environment. It was a matter of anxious speculation among Republican senators how the representative of the new order of things, which they had brought about, would acquit himself. Expecially was this the case, easily seen, in the solicitude of Senator Sumner, who, in his own delicate way, got a promise from Revels to read manuscript of his first speech to the Massachusetts senator at his residence its delivery.

For a considerable time Mr. Sumner played the role of mentor, as if he personally were responsible admission of a colored man into then Senate of the United States. The relations between Senator Sumner and Senator Revels formed a remarkable Forty-first episode Congress. in the Revels history of was the a I diplomat, and when he had a purpose to serve, he was not wanting in plausibility of speech and bearing. Mr.

Sumner became interested in the carleer of the new senator from Mississippi, and without any sinister motives moving him, encouraged his confidence and assisted him in many ways. It was a gratifying surprise to Revels that invitations for lectures came pouring in upon him. He made a New England lecturing tour which added much to his reputation, but more to his pockets. Whether or not Revels knew the real inspirer of this movement in his interest in New England is not known. But the fact is that Mr.

Sumner took it upon himself to bring about results, which were of great value to Revels. An astonishing ovation followed his footsteps in New England, and if he had been a prince of royal blood the city authorities of Boston could have done nothing more for his pleasure and comfort. His first lecture in Bo-ton called together no ordinary audiene. Men and women of letters and public functionaries and university educators greeted him with enthusiasm as though a new prophet had arisen in the land. His progress through New England made him the hero of the hour, and all these successes were due to Charles Sumner and his literary and political friends.

His Vote against Sumner. It was, perhaps, but natural that the relations existing between Sumner and Revels awakened misgivings among Republican senators. The times had grown ominous, and a crisis in the Republican party was at hand. Mr. Sumner was no longer on friendly terms with Grant and his secertary of state, Hamilton Fish.

The rumors of scheme for the annexation of Santo Domingo filled the air, and it was shortly well known that this was a pet scheme of the President. Sumner finally killed it in the Senate. The fight was on. Mr. Motley, the friend of Sumner, was dismissed as American minister to the court of St.

James, and the President's so-called military aidede-camp was heard to say that "if he were not an officer in the army he would chastise Mr. Sumner." The Senate, from first to last, sided with the executive. The first notable act was the displacement of Sumner from the foreign relations committee, of which he had long been chairman. The conflict was becoming more and more relentless day by day. It was deemed of great importance manage Revels in dishonoring Sumner.

Simon Cameron, one of the wiliest of the friends of Grant, undertook this mission, and secured the vote of Revels for the removal of Sumner from the committee of foreign relations. -This unseemly act closed forever all intercourse between Sumner and Revels.

This book of intense human interest to all thinking people, and particularly to those who are recognizing what is a vital question of the day--the "Negro Problem." Nothing half so important, or impressive has appeared for a long time as this autobiography of a man who has risen by sheer force of hard work and will-power from slavery to, the principal's chair in an institute his own founding, for his own race; and who is devoting his entire energy to the practical betterment of these people. The King's End, By ALICE BROWN. Price, $1.50. The Saturday Review of the New York Times writing of this book says, "How many years-nay, how many decades of years, have elapsed since the Uuited States has produced a love story preaching nothing, proving nothing, illustrating no period of history. But here his Alice Brown's "King's End," as plainly and simply a love story as the "The Courtin" itseit; in were not the title preempted fact, Brown might very well have adopted it, for her hero is as "clean grit and human nature" as "Zekle" himself, and her heroine is the Huldy of to-day, better instructed, wider in vision.

but the same Huldy, coy, provoking, evasive until betrothed, she begins as her lover dryly tells her, to think his thoughts and make a little god of him. John Vytal A Tale of the Lost Colony, by WILLIAM FARQUHAR PAYSON. Price, $1.20. The "Lost Colony" was the first settlement of English people in 1587, on the little peninsula of Roanoke, Virginia. No epoch of American history is more essentially romantic than that in which, for a few years, less than one hundred colonists from England lived on the island of Roanoke, off the coast of Old Virginia.

The mystery has filled many pages of history, but always as an enigma without solution. Willie and His Papa By F. OPPER, Price, $1.00. Political cartoons originally printed in the New York Journal, affording at the time amusement for Republicans and Democrats alike, as well as the women and children. The Heritage of Unrest BY GWENDOLIN OVERTON, Price, $1.50.

One reviewer says of it: "Bret Harte has nothing better; it deservesa niche by the side of Ramona, and is even superior as a work of art." Another says: "The author has real power, especially in her descriptions, the reader is compelled to feel that she has that rare feeling for the exact word which will most keenly make the scene or the emotion real." The book is devoid of a monotonous page and is unfailingly entertaining. Sweetheart Nanette BY MAURICE THOMPSON. Price, $1.25.
