E. L. Underwood was instantly
killed in the P. & O. repair shops at

was using a patent jack and letting a
car down upon the trucks, when
something gave way and the jack
lever flew up and hit him on the
right side of his neck. He was tax
en- up at once and breathed a few
minutes, but never knew what hurt
him. Mr.. Underwood was man 63
years old, had wife and three chill
dren, and was universally respected.
Some absurd reports were put into
circulation on Monday to the effect
that the Passumpsic Savings bank
had closed. The truth is, all such
reports and fears are utterly ground
less. The largest amount of Bar
lows paper now OF ever held by this
bank is SIS, 200, which is well secur-
ed. In no event would this be a
total loss, But were such the fact,
the surplus and undivided profits of
the bank would be sufficient to make
good the loss. Depositors who with
draw their deposits at this time would
lose more in the loss of their divi-
dends than their proportion of any
possible loss by reason of the Bar
low paper. The bank is ready to
pay depositors the full amount of
their deposits at any ime.-Coledon-
