It is supposed that a few more words passed between the couple, and it would seem that Mrs. Jenkins came out the worst. Overcome by the excitement of the controversy she was thrown into bysteries and rushed to the river apparently with the intention of throwing herself into the water. She was prevented from so doing by Charles H.

The new structure erected by the Montpelier Hardware company on the Berlin side is well built, and presents a striking appearance to visitors coming into the city on the Wells River road. The building was erected at the expense of several thousand dollars, and in point of convenience and general ap.
pearance contrasts favorably with any of like nature in the State. The company for A long time has been contemplating this step, which was made necessary by its largely increasing business and by the cramped and small quarters on this side of the river. The volume of business done by the company since its organization as stock company a few years ago has increased greatly, until now what is probably the best and largest stock of hardware, in the State can be found in its warehouse. The building has but recently been completed, and the work of moving the stock the old quarters on this side of the river has been in progress for the past month, and the present time finds the led in company its new snugly quarters. ensconsed The and building itself is finally instala model of neatness and convenience, and is 72 feet square and three stories high, thus making over 20,000 square feet of floor sur.

They are four in number, and in order from the entrance are the traveling men's and directors' room, stenographer and typewriter's office, the bookkeeper's room, and in the further corner is the manager's and treasurer's office, which is a very attractive and cosy room.

D. MASSE, E. D. BlackWell Still Missing. No trace of E.
D. Blackwell, the story of whose mysterious disappearance was told in the ARGUS AND PATRICT of last week, has been discovered since last Wednesday which has amounted to anything, although the po lice and detectives have followed up every possible, probable or improbable clew. Noth ing can be found which throws any light whatever on his movements after he left E. R. Houghton, his nephew, on the night of September 9.
Henry E. Fifield has been in Boston the past week and has searched unremittingly, but without the slightest result. It was hoped last Wednesday that a clew of some importance would be secured from the General Electric company, of Boston, at the office of which place he was said to have been seen on the day following his disappearance. Investigation showed that bis business with the men connected with the company bad been transacted before Septetaber 9. The theory was also developed that the missing man bad gone suddenly to Florida, where he has an interest in some orange groves.
It was known that his agent there had written him for instructions, but he did not think the matter of any particular importance. Of course the premise was an improbable one, but a telegram was sent to Florida, which brought an answer to the ef. fect that he was not there. On Thursday the friends of Mr. Blackwell received a shock when they read in the newspapers an account of the finding of the body of a man in the water oft Hull which was believed to be that of Mr.
Blackwell by many who were interested in the case. Messrs. Fifield and Houghton went to Aull and viewed the body and announced at once that it was not that of Mr. Blackwell. Several people have reported that they have seen men answering the description of the missing Montpelierite, but upon inquiry it has invariably turned out that they were mistaken.
The box which he carried with him and which has been frequently referred to in the papers, disappeared before Mr. Blackwell arrived at the Adams house. He with him on the train, but it was not en evidence when he reached the hotel. A. J.
Sibley last Thursday received a letter from the Arm which manufactured the gas stoves which arrived at the local station af. ter Mr. Blackwell's disappearance, in which it was stated that the stoves were bought on Monday, September 7, at Brandon, at which time Mr. Blackwell bad stated that one was for his own use and one tor C. P.
Pitkin. Reports received from Mr. Fifeld last Friday evening contained no information, and stated that no clew had been discovered. Postmaster A. J.
Sibley last Saturday received a letter from Solomon Morton, of Lowell, in which it was stated that the writer was assured that he had seen the missing man in Montreal. He stated that he was apbalanced proached by a man, who was apparently unicentally, who asked him if he had a ticket to Montpeller, stating that he bad lost his ticket but was not sure whether he had lost his money or not. The writer said that this occurred on September 17, but that he had not paid much attention to the event when it occurred. When he returned to his bome in Elmore, however, he read in a copy of a Boston paper of the disappearance of A Montpelier man, which recalled the occurrence, especially as the description of the man who had accosted him coincided with the one publisbed of the missing man. The letter father was in-law turned over to Charles Dewey, of Mr.
Blackwell, who wrote for further particulars, but has yet recetved no reply. The writer laid especial stress on the Knight Templar charm which the man whom he described wore. Mr. Black well, however, left his Templar charm at home, and it is not very probable that he would purchase another if in the apparently dazed condition be was described As being in. Mr.
Dewey does not think that the description given in the letter tallies with that of Mr. Black well. Mrs. Sarah Bixby baving stated that she saw Mr. Blackwell in Montreal about two weeks ago, Mr.
Dewey called upon her last Monday afternoon and she, while not positive, was quite sure that he bad seen the missing man. Several Montpelier parties who were in Montreal ot the time, to whom Mr. Black well was well known, did not see him, however, and it is supposed that Mrs. Bixby confounded him with some one who resembled him in some degree. Al a regular conclave of Mt.
Zion commandery, of which Mr. Blackwell was Junior Warden, last Friday evening, the following letter was drawn up and sent to Mrs. Black well: -DEAR a regular conclave of Mt. commandery, held at their asylum Friday evening, September 25. a committee was appointed convey to the family of our beloved master, Kateht Edward D.
