The Natural Ice Bridge Breaks up-Sev
eral Narrow Escapes From Drowning.

The crossing on the ice was decidedly
unsafe Friday morning, Notwithstanding
which few teams crossed above the up
per dam, one as late as half past three in the
afternoon. Saturday morning some of the
mill help went across end one girl broke
through the ice when near this side of the
river but she fell over to one side and
pulled herself out. The Burlington
Woollen company had "A pathway staked
out and planks laid from back of the
woollen mill to the red rocks Saturday,
and crossing was made Mr.. Kennedy
also had the company's gates left open
Sunday evening to accommodate those
crossing. BY Sunday night the ice had be-
come 50 sOftened that crossing anywhere
was decidedly hazardous and would not
be undertaken but for the delay of going
around by the railroad or high bridges.
a woman broke through the ice while
crossing Saturday night and sank i'll up
to her arms, but succeeded i'll dragging
herself out. Sunday Il horse got loose
from stable somewhere near the saw
mill and started across the river. He broke
through twice going over. When he
reached the Burlington side he turned
around and trotted back at full speed
reaching the Wnooski side safely without
breaking in. Boats were ferryng people
acrossthe open channel between the two
dams Sunday afternoon and evening
The bridge company had several men at
work Saturday and Sunday getting out
more of the iron from the bottom OF the

COLLECTOR SMALLEN.

IN. Y. Tribune.l


Colonel Bradley b. Smalley of Vermont,
who is now collector at Burlington, by
virtue Of his services as secretary of the
Democratic National committee, is here
to spend the holidays. He is always an
entertaining talker, one of the breezy and
good-natured men who make Il success n
politics because they never step on the
toes of any of their own party friends.
HE NEVER STEPPED on MIR. CHILDS'S TOES
on, NO.
Colonel Smalley told me that the "kick-
ing against the management of Demo
cratic affairs in Vermont is confined to
Asaph Childs, formerly of Bennington,
now of Springfield. Said the colonel ::
"Childs has always been kicking, threat
cning to beat me as a candidate Tor dele
gate to the national conventions, and so
on. The nearest he has come to getting
on top was to poll twenty five votes in Il
convention of 400 delegates. His brother
is candidate for postmaster at Brattle-
boro. He is Il better fellow than Asaph,
and will probably get the place in spite of
the relationship
HE THINKS MIR. CLEVELAND SHOULD HITCH
HORSES WITH HILL.
Colonel Smalley told me that he be-
leved that Mr.. Cleveland was sincere in
his wish not again to he Il candidate for
President. 'If he makes an administra-
ton that is satisfactory to the country, he
can be renominatcd by reclamation if he
will accept the nomination. If he fails in
that respect it will not be worth while for
any Democrat to be nominated. If Mr..
/ Cleveland should hitch forces with Gov
ernor Hill us he did in the State election
| they would be invincible. Ii looks to ne
us though when the Governor gets through
| with New York State it will he so sOlidly
| Democratic that the Republicans will
never be able to carry it again"
The subject of the New York Legisla-
ture came up. The Colonel said Il
was in Albany last winter. The treat
ment of the minority by the
speaker struck me as simply barbarous
/ that is 10y capal'sOn with what we do IN
/ Vermont. Ii we should have II Speaker
who would refuse to recognize Democrats
or should help to throttle their bills IN
committees, | believe the members, Dem
Gratis and Republicans alike, would com
bIne to throw him out of the window. We
have 237 members. The Democrats have
| had as many as fifty of them and as few
ils twenty-five. No bills are ever allowed
to sleep to death in committee. What
ever the measure, it must he reported
tavorably or adversely. Or If the commit
tee cannot agree it may report the bill
without recommendation But the bll
must come back To the Assembly. Tn,
committee which would attempt rs they
do successfully at Albany to thWart legls
lation by Withholding bills, no matter
what they were, would be called to ac
count pretty sharply by the members an,
the bills would probably be taken out OF
its hands"

opened at 655s and was moderately active
until afternoon, when it became very active,
and the close of the market was amidst great
excitement. The reasons given for the move
ment were various, chief among the stories
being the rumor that there had been con-

broker had been caught with a short interest
OF $4,000 shares; another that the
presence in Europe at the same
