Pine and Champlain streets.
The temporary bridge across the river
at Win)oski was washed out early We'd
nesday morning by the freshet, and com
munication between that place and this
city was almost wholly interrupted. The
bridge was unable to withstand the flood
of trees and drift wood of every descrip-
ton which were forced directly against it
the water being nearly on level with the
planking, and ut daylight Wednesday
morning but II fragmentary portion re
manned.
The man who confessed to stealing
cigars from the store of Reed q Taylor
was arraigned in the City Court Thurs
day, when he gave his name as William
II. Lee. He pleaded guilty to the charge
of petit larceny and was sentenced to serve
Il term of three months at hard labor in
the House of Correction. Sheriff Barton
found a box of cigars yesterday that Lee
had sold in WinOUski and he also learned
that Lee had sold a number of overcOats
and other clothing at that place, all of
which lie had undoubtedly stolen.
1t has leaked out that the safe in {. y.
Mead's store was robbed between ten and
one o'clock Saturday night, the matter
having been kept quiet ON the advice of
the officers. The safe was only partially
locked and it was evidently opened by some
one who was acquainted with the way in
which the lock was left. the outer door be
ing intact Nothing was disturbed but
the money drawer and that was broken
open. The thief secured forty dollars,
but left all the papers undsturbcd. 1t is
not likely the perpetrator will be captured.
The business men at the head of Church
street were surprised about : O'Clock

personally and in writing, to stop opera

! tees and the work went on under the in
spection of quite Il number of spectators.

ton of Henry J. Nelson in front of whose

BOSTON, Oct. ..
on fancy grades of butter, for which there
is Il good jUbbng demand, prices are firm,
with an advancing tendency, but ON other
kinds there is no change from last week.
Dealers who control Il few popular brands of
fresh creamery are selling in OTIS of from 10 to
80 tubs at - to 30 cents per pound, and they
arc talking OF getting TO cents more in IL
day or two. But this is only small part of
toe regular butter business For most of the
round lots OF Northern crcamcry27 to % cents

is all that can be obtained. Early made but
ter is rather dun and - to 81 cents is all that
can be quoted for the best June ice house
stock. The present selection of dairy Will not
command over "a to p cents per pound, and
for most of the choice dairy receipts % to =?
cents is all that can be depended upon. Very
few long diaries will command over Is cents
and some are not worth over Is. We quote
extra Northern creamery at - c, choice at 23,D

Cheese has not gained any strength the past
week. Prices are no lower, but buyers are
more cautious, and lots forced OFF would show
some decline. The export trade has not come
up to expectation. and the situation generally
is Disappointing. still, holders of lnc stock
are confident that the market Will soon take
another upward turn, and are not urging
sales. For extra August, 1914 to l0l9 cents per
pound is all that can toe obtained, Fine sept
cmber lots are held a. lO4 To L cents, and oc-
casionally II buyer is found that will pay the

The Telephone Question.

Superintendent Hunt of the New Eng
land Telephone and Telegraph company
arrived in town Wednesday morning and
called upon number of the business men
on Church street to see what could be
done in the way of eiTecting compromise
on the pole question. He was cordially
received and all upon whom he called eN-
pressed desire for the continuance of
the exchange, and for a fair settlement of
the difficulty We do not doubt that Mr..
Hunt Will he met fully half way IN the
matter and all differences settled. 1t
seems to us that some slight concessions
a little yielding on both sides-would har-
monte the matter very quickly and place
the exchange on its former successful
basis

Labor Troubles Experienced at the Ben
nington Wnter Works.

The water works company at Benning-
ton have experienced considerable difficult
ty in getting Il sufficient number of men
to carry on the work rapidly. The com
pany began two weeks ago to dig II trench
six feet deep and two feet wide for dis
tance Of $500 feet, with force of twenty
five men, though much larger number
was wanted. AT the end of the first week
a majority of the men had quit work, some
because the digging with short-handle
shovels was so hard, and others because
the pay, Sl.25 "A day was deemed insult
ticient. President Joy decided to dispense
almost entirely with local laborers and
employ Italians from New York Il con
siderable force of whom began work this
morning. The matter has aroused among
the Irish laborers much bitter feeling
against the Italians, and threats are open
~ made to drive them from the trenches,
The latter will probably not be molested,
but the developments of the next few days
are looked forward to with some interest,

SERIOUS SHOOTING ACCIDENT.
4 Young Hunter Receives a Charge of
Shot in the Thigh.

The particulars of serious shooting ac-
cident are given by the Pittsburgh TcIc-
gram as follows: Frank Premore who
resides near the iron bridge, met with an
accident Monday while out hunting,
which it is feared will result fatally. Pre-
more, who is a young man about 81 years
of age, was employed by Caleb Wing liv-
ing on the lake shore near Bluff point.
Yesterday in company with Il young man
named Charles L1tOur, PremOre went
hunting. While in the woods Premore
threw il twig at Iatour and struck him ON
the hand. LatOur had his gun aimed at
some object in Il tree, and when the twig
struck him he threw the gun to the ground
and began to rub his hand. AS the gun
struck the ground it exploded. Premore
was standing only about ten feet away and
the full charge of bird shot entered the left
thigh, making an ugly wound some two
inches in diameter and extending almost
through the thigh. The injured man was
placed in IA wagon and taken to the home
of his mother, where physicians We're
called and dressed the wound. 1t was
found that the wound was of Il very seri-
Gus character, and that, together with
the great loss of blood sustained during
the journey makes the recovery of the pa
tient doubtful.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston ADVERTISER has the following to
say in regard to Senator Edmunds's pres
ence ut the capital Senator Edmunds is
here for the winter, stopping at quiet
hotel until the furnishing of his new
house is completed. He has taken pos
session of his committee room at the Cap
itol, and is hard at work. The people
about the Senate do not disturb him, and
are on guard to keep others from doing So
One of Mr.. Edmundss chief problems for
the winter is understood to be the defeat
ing of bill providing for the extension
and payment of the debt due the govern
ment from the subsidized Pacific rail
roads. lie was not exactly satisfied with
the bill reported from his committee in
the last Congress and at his suggestion it
was materially modified. 1t failed to pass,
but as these debts became due in less than
ten years and no provision is made for
their payment, he will urge this winter
that something he done. 1t is believed
That the new House of Representatives
will be more likely to treat this subject
fairly than the last one.

JOHN NORTON'S CHRISTMAS.
a Reading for the Benefit of the G. A. r.,
by W. II. ii. Murray.

The audience that assembled in the City
hall, Wednesday, to listen to the reading
by w. H. H. Adirondack Murray of
one of his beautiful and pathetic
backwoods stories, Slow John Nor
ton kept his Christmas" was not
large, but was very cordial. The
reading was for the benefit of Staunard
Post e. \. r., of this city. Whatever may
be said of Mr.. Murray's faults or misfor-
tunes, his ability as Il writer cannot he
questioned. The pathos, the humor, the
simple tenderness and sweetness OF his
best stories remind one of Dickens. GLOW
John Norton Kept his Christmas" is Il
wonderfully sweet and fascinating story,
with all the charm of reality added to the
art of the rOmanCer. one reason for its
truthtulness to life, undoubtedly, is the
fact that it was written as it We're, con
the spot" in the very midst of the wood
land scenes, which it so graphically de-
scribes MI Murray spent a portion
of one winter in Canadian cabin,
deep III the snowy woods, and it
was here that John Norton's Christ
mas was written. 1t was published in

trated, some three years ago 1t has been

is of supplemented, whoe-souled old
man, whose faith in Providence never
talters under the trouble and distress
which slowly close around him
and his happy little family, and
which finally, by the visible agency
of Il gentle, helping hand, tri-
umphs over adversely and crowns the
trustful life with blessing. The story is
charmingly interpreted by Mr.. Murray,
and goes at once to the hearts of the audi
ence. We are not sure that Mr. Murray
did not find, instead of lose, his mission in
/ life when he left the pulpit to devote him
| self more completely to authorship and
the platform We understand that he
has several other stories in preparation
and trust that, at some future time, he
will favor Burlington with another of his
delightful readings Indeed Mr. Murray
thinks of making Burlington his future
home as he desires to live near Lake
Champlain.
After the reading Mr.. Murray was
greeted by IA number of our citizens,

Tuesday Nights Polo Game Results in
Draw.

The game of polo at the rink Tuesday
between the Winslow polo club and the
Association team was the most exciting
sporting event which has been witnessed
in this city for some time, and the rink
was filled to overflowing. The evening S
entertainment opened with an exhibition
OF fancy skating by Mr.. livesey, which has
never been cqualled in this city and which
called forth continued outbursts of APP
plause. 1t was considerably after Q
o'clock when the game was called, but
the way in which both teams went to
work amply compensated lovers of en-
element for the time lost. The ASSOcia-
tons won the first goal in about fifteen
minutes The visitors then won a goal
on ii foul, which was not allowed.
From this time ON the contest was
even more exciting than before if pos
sible, and considerable smuggling was in
neither side had won an additional goal
but by mutual consent the game was con-
tinued. AT the expiration Of an hour and
thirty-five minutes the visitors had won
two goals, when the game was stopped
and declared Il draw. The visitors being
professionals all played we'll as a matter
of course. The Association team had had
no practice to speak of for the two weeks
during which the fair was in progress, and
their playing was matter of justitiable
pride to them and their friends Whitcomb
and Foy did excellent service at the goal,
while Laduke seemed to be everywhere.
In fact, all of the team did nobly, and the
contest shows them to be without Il rival
in the State. The Boston team will to-
night play the Montpelier boys, whom
they defeated u to Monday night
