injuries received while stealing ride
on freight train.
Rayno, with two other boys, stole
a ride to Middlebury on Conductor

noon to see the ruins of the big fire.
About mile south of Middlehury
station they jumped from the train to
escape detection. Rayno slipped and
one leg went under the wheel and was
nearly cut off just above the ankle,
the foot simply hanging by shreds of
flesh and skin. The leg was amputa-

bore the operation bravely, and was
brought to Brandon on the afternoon
train, but died soon after reaching
home.
Middlebury was visited Sunday eve

Severe Rain and wind storms pre-
vailed over large extent of country
on Monday. A veritable cyclone Wis.,
tied Washington doing much damage
and causing the death of one man
who was crushed beneath wall of
the new Metzerot music hall.
A section of the stone balustrade
around the roof or the White house
was blown down and crushed through
the roof of the portico at the eastern
entrance of the basement. Many
telegraph and telephone wires were
connected with the roof at the part of
the accident and they were carried
down with the mass of stones, COM
pletely shutting off all communications
with the house by wire. The section
destroyed was about 20 feet long,
composed of freestone in blocks and
pillars, and in falling carried with it
a large portion of the cornice. 1t
struck the roof at the east portico
with terrific crash and wrecked it
completely. The noise caused con-
siderable comotion in the presidents
house.
Much damage was done in Balti-
more and in the Cumberland valley
in Pennsylvania the destruction was
wide spread.

No. 6.

The first railroad car, built in 1925,
was indeed a very simple affair. II
was box-like structure mounted on
four wheels and drawn by one horse.
There were three windows on each side,
a door in the rear end, and hanging
step.
The above car, however, when steam
took the place OF horses as motive
power, was superseded by the Concord
coach. These coaches we're set on
frames made especially for that purpose,
and were coupled to each other with
three-link chains, which left two or three
feet slack, so that in starting the train
the passengers were 'jerked from under
their hats" and in stopping they fire.
quently changed seats with one
another. Those who rode on top of the
coaches, to protect themselves from the
black pitch-pine smoke and cinders, had
to use their umbrellas, but before the
train had gone mile the cloth would
be all burned off and the frames thrown
away. The rest of the time was spent
by the passengers in whipping out the
fire in each others clothes.
These coaches, in time, were replaced
by four-wheeled cars, and the latter by
eight-wheeled with iron drawbars and
pin and link couplings.
Mr.. Charles Davenport, of Boston,
now nearly so years old, is said to be
the pioneer car builder of this country,
he having built the first modern car
ever used here. In 1884 he construct
ed 10 four-wheel cars, seating "a peo-
pie each, for the "Boston and Wor-
cester R. r." and in 1867 he built
20 four-wheel cars with platforms and
doors at the ends and passage way
from one end of the train to the other.
The first sleeping car was run over
the Cumberland Valley R. R." in
Pennsylvania in the winter of 1869.
This style of car was used until 1S4S.
In 1854 James Tillinghast, ofRome,
N. Y, invented a sleeping car, the
model Of which he carried to Spring
field, Mass, in a bandana handkerchief
and submitted to Mr.. Watson, the car
builder, who built trial car, which
made its first trips on the "New York
Central" and "Rome and Watertown"
railroads.
George M. Pullman built his first
sleeping car, the "Pioneer," in 1864, at
a cost of $4,000.
The first hotel car ever built was
named the president" 1t was put in
service on the "Great Western Rail-
way" of Canada in 1867.

Glebe Mountain.

Glebe mountain is situated between
the towns of Londonderry and Wind
ham in Windham county, Vermont
and in some respects a remarkable
formation, showing, especially upon
its eastern side, evidences of convul-
sions of no ordinary character, great
masses of strata here and there stand
ing perpendicular to the general trend
of its rock-bed while ever and anon
the land breaks from the softest un-
dulations into the widest profusion
of crags, giving to the tourist sense
of awe, at these, in some instances,
very denominations Of chaos, while the
student of geology looks back over
the vistas of time and reads, yes
reads, of an era when these rocks
were but sedimentary beds, barely
above the sea, but destined at last to
come out region of granite, slate
and crystalline schist, and over all the
bent and twisted metamorphic forma-
tions that have given to scientists SO
many lessons lying along the borders
of wonderland.
That there has been fire near the
surface of these crags is evidenced by
the gaping assures containing in some
instances volcanic ashes and basalt,
samples of which were shown to me
by Mr.. Leonard Simonds who lives
upon the east side of the mountain in
the town of Windham and who is
quite an enthusiastic upon the subject
of gems having very remarkable
collection of them in his possession.
Among the prettiest of these is pure
silicate one inch OF more in length and
hexagonal in form having soft trans
lucent light that is very pleasing to a
lover of gems, and then comes two or
three irregular stones showing prisma-
TIC colors. The next that | noted |
was great cornelian red stone, this
too was, or is, translucent and is
nearly cube in form, then | noticed
a triangular piece of the same color
having red and white or buff bands,
the intersections of which formed a
beautiful diamond shaped panel.
This is evidently an onyx and weighs
220 grains. Three purple silicates
were next shown, but the writer is
not lapidary and cannot tell what
they are. Mr.. s. also has in his pos
session what he supposes to be fu!lers
earth. Now the question is are these
real gems ? One evidence in favor
Of this theory is, they are very hard,
resisting all ordinary efforts to cut or
polish them while they will cut the
heaviest plate glass without abrasion.
Again this mountain is upon the
same strata as the gem fields of North
Carolina and Mexico, with this ex-
ception, the Glebe is upon the south
ern edge of the post tertiary and
shows upon its surface some evidence
of post-tertiary action. In conclusion
then | think it is more than probable
that some of this collection are real
gems and if so So. Londonderry and
Windham are enormously rich in
minerals. j. S. LAMBERT.

Hon. VIM. Mckinley delivered an
able an eloquent address last Thurs
day evening before the Boston Home
Market club. We make the following
extract:
A revenue tariff never built mile
of railroad or opened a mine. You
cannot have large importations OF
foreign products without displacing
home products. You cannot import
freely without crowding our home la
Dor and supplanting it with foreignl
labor in foreign mills. A revenuea
tariff cannot always provide rssI
nue.. A protective tariff never fails.
The wage earners and the farmers
and the vast body of consumers in
this country know the blessing which
a protective tariff brings.
The leaders of the democratic par
ty complain that protective tariff
keeps us out of foreign market.
For me and mine there is no place
like home (great applause) but the
facts are that in the past twelve
months, under protective tariff,
more wheat has been sent abroad
than in IA years under democratic
rule from 1876 to 1860. If the peo-
pie of this country would only read
the history of the country from 1S5O|
to 1860 no reply would be needed to
the argument of democratic leaders.
They say that this new tariff law is
a Chinese wall around this country,
through which one can neither go out
or come in. 1t has been in existence
a little over a year. 1t has had one
anniversary and will have good many
more anniversaries. There is not a
word in that law which is not Amei-
can. There is not line which is not
Patriotic. There is not page which
does not appeal to American homes
and American industries. During
the year in which it has been in exis-
tence we did bigger domestic bust
ness than ever before. In those
twelve months our foreign import
business was bigger than ever before
and our foreign export business was
bigger than ever before. But we
sold to England $99,000,00O worth
more than we bought, and that sum,
in gold, will soon be brought back to1
this country, representing our profit
in the trade.
And vet they don't like it. This
policy of protection must be main
tanned. I'll tell you when we can
have free trade. Whenever the ma
tions of the world will raise their con-
ditions to ours. Whenever they raise
their wages to level of those we pay
our wcrkmen. Then we will meet
them in open market and it will be
the survival of the fittest.
A protective tariff cheapens pro-
ducts, a revenue tariff cheapens men.
A protective tariff stands for man.
hood and independence. l am anx-
ious to see the tariff bill which will
be produced by the coming Democrat
ic Congress. l am anxious to see
whether it will be after the Mills
stamp, or of the horizontal pattern of
the Morrison bill. Whatever it is it
will be crazy quilt.
What we want to do, what you in
New England want to do, is to stick
by the policy that has stuck by you.
NO section IN the country knows this
better than manufacturing New Eng
land. Well take care of the West
if you'll take care of the east. Next
year the fight will be on. Where will
Massachusetts be? CA voice, "All
right" Applause.

"Gabriels trumpet has sounded
and the resurrection begun. The
millennium has come and Ludlow is
'in it. - This is what brother Crane
of the Ludlow Tribune says, and all
because the citizens of his town have
just raised 100000 to establish a
woolen mill. The Tribune is right in
rejoicing over this matter for it will
mark new era in the history of Lud-
low. Its possibilities are immense.
And when we consider that this hand
some sum was raised within two DAYS,
all classes and almost all conditions
contributing, the SITTER joins with it's
contemporary in proclaiming Ludlow's s
enterprise and pluck and predicting
for it an abundant measure of sue
cess-and deserved, tco.
Following upon the heels Of this
comes news that Chester, at its town
meeting held last Thursday, after re-
ducing the Union Soapstone COM
pany's taxes to a minimum voted to
exempt all new manufacturing enter
prises for period of ten years.
Now the policy displayed by each
of these towns is such as to attract
enterprise and capital and is worthy
of emulation by almost every town in
the State. Especially is this so of
Londonderry whose natural advanta-
ges are superior, in many respects, to
either Chester or Ludlow.
But this is an age of push and en-
terprise, and the man or town that
waits for "somethiDg to turn up
will wake up sometime (if it is possi-
BILE to awaken such to find that his
neighbor or neighboring town has,
with pluck and energy, turned the
thing up and he or it is left behind in
the grand march of life. In other
words he finds that he isn't sin it,
and that thereafter he can only be a
feeder for his energetic, pushing
neighbor who put his shoulder to the
wheel at the right moment
1t is the opinion of the writer and
many others that Vermont is now en-
tering upon an era of general prosper
ity, unexampled in its history. If
this be SO "today is the day of saliva
tion," and every man, woman and
child should put shoulder to the wheel
and boost. Boom your State, boom
your town, boom your village.
What say you, good people OF
Londonderry
What say you of South London
derry
Shall an effort be made to get out
of the old rut
Or shall we let our neighbors take
all the cake !?
