Tho last vestl/re of tbo great midwin

Enormous cables wouD^on windlasses
were attached to the framework and
pulled, while twolvo blii^ts were tired

With all that enorgy the tower only

The electric tower was a white ele?

family, but tho Bronson fnmily, some of
whom were with the dying girl, affirm thnt
it Is substantially true. In suoh a matter!
one confirmation Is worth more than many
denials." 8o says tho article stint me.
There Is no doubt that Ethan Allen waa tho
vulgarcst sort of nn Inftdol, lor, sitting in a,
Presbyterian Chureb, his a>lmirers say h?V
struck th? pew In front of him and swore out
louit so as to disturb tho meeting, and no

that soroo of his doscoudants aro ashamed of
liim, but of course Ihoy could not help It and
are not to b!nme. But all the decent men of
the Revolution beliovtd In Q.id, and otir
