lRMONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORo FRIDAY, JANUARY 49,


Alb Death boldly, relentlessy has broken
Our circle once more
And taken the happiest, the faircsi and bost
To Join those "gone before"
Our Llllal No, we thought she was ours,
And felt our prize secure;
But the angels whispered, eve want that flower,
Just blooming 40 bright and pure"
Can 1t be that sweet spirit has taken lis hight
Has gone TO the other shOre7
All we know in that home of love and light
Twill be welcomed At the door.
Aud though hearts and home will be desolate here
without that childish voice,
Tis God who has taken that form so dear,
And the angels all rejoice.

The New York Tribune, 10 its market report, tI-
planned why some butter is sold for such low prices
In speaking Of butter II said: "Light colored goods
are very hard to dispose Of, and several lots we're
thought well sold at to 10 cents" II butter makers
would get the top price, they should use the Perfected
Butter Color, made by Wells, Richardson Co, Bur-
lington, vt. It gives a pure dandelion color and
never turns red rancid, but tends to improve and
preseryc the butter,

RATES FOR EASE BOUND FREIGHT.

A sPTCIAL MEETING OF THE JOINT EXECUTIVE COM
MITrEE RESOLVES TO MAINTAIN RATES.
The iolnt executive committee Of the trunk lines
and their western connections adjourned yesterday
without accomplishing ANYTHING beyond the mu-
tual exchange of promises to maintain rates The
meeting was called specially by Com
missioner Fink to approve the recent
action o. the trunk line executive
committee in resolving to restore schedule rates
which had been violated The immediate cause OF
this action was the making of contracts by the
Erie Railroad for the transportation of hogs from
Chicago to Boston at rates much below the tariff.
II was not claimed that this the only violation
of scbedule rates but il admitted that all the
frank lines except the Pennsylvania, had taken
eastbouud freight at cut" rates The reduction was
considered necessary i'll view OF the decreasing
buslness. and was recognized by all. But the rates
made bv the Erie were below any rates, II Is sald,
that had been made previously, and the matter wa,
brought before Commissioners RINK III was
claimed in behalf of the Erie Co COMPANY haay
allotted TO IT, and that It had violated no agree
ments therefore in taking business AT prices satis-
Upon this subject the committee took no action
Yesterday except to agree to pool she Boston bns7

sion The contract made by the Enc Com
panv with Squire IL Co. has not been abrogated
and the whole matter IN dispute remains vlrtua1IN
in the same position il did before the meeting. No
action was taken in regard to a reduction in east
bound rates. hut the contrary II was resolved to
restore and MAINTAIN former rates. CONSIDERABLE
donb; was expressed Yesterday by rall-
| road men of TIE long continuance

Three more survivors from the steamer CIty oil
Vera Cruz arrived in this city early yesterday
mornne. having come from Jacksonville. Fla. by
rai,. They were O. +. Silva, Rafael Arrue. two of
the messengers. and John Council, coal
nasser. all of whom landed near Smyrna, Fla.
They went Immediately to the Office OF Alexandra
& Sons They were all in good health. with the ex-
ception that Mr. Arrue was suffering from swollen
foot. which was caused by bis long walk from tho
seashore to the house where he first found
refuge. Their dress consisted smply OF o
poir OF trousers and check shirt which
thew had obtained IN Florida. This primitive style
of dress they sald had been great ANNOYANCE to
them on their journey TO New-1orK, ana once tnls
had been noticed IN an unpleasant way. just after
leaving Wilmington, Delaware, the conductor or
the train on which they were came No to Mr.. Silva,
who was III fis-class car and suggested that as
he was without coat, the smoking-car
w,mld be n much more suitable place for him. Mr..
Silva replied that dress did NOT make gentleman,
and that as long he acted like gentleman there
was no necessity for his going into the smoking
MIR. Silva and Mr.. Arrue both spoke of Captain
Van Sce and the first officer, Harris. in the highest
P PpsVs as IONS. MIR. Silva said. Il met Officer
Harris about half an hour before be was swept oyer,
answered laughing: this will soon be over and we
will have the steamer baled out In half an hour"
Both Arrue and Connell Thought that Dir. OWENS
statement that he climbed up the mast was IN
correct, as they saw 1t 40 overheard.
When asked about the fourteen survivors-who
are sad TO have landed by means of a lIfe-raft mt
Ntusville-Mr. Silva said that he was certain that
no life-boat left tho ship However, tho fact that
nothing had been heard from these survivors. II
they were ut Tiiusville. was not very strange. He
ana his companions were at SMYRNA week before
they could get away as every kind OF craft IN that
mel Nh borhood had been swept away by the storm.
When asked why the steamer did not live through
the storm Mr. Arrue said mo steamer would
have endured those waves They came thunder
ing down on the deck from both sides, tearing
everything away" Connell said he saw the captain
