Gov. Russell of Massachusetts vetoed on
Monday bill authorizing the Connecticut
River railroad company to increase its cap
ital stock to S5,0O0,OOO The veto was
based on the ground that the proposed
increase amounted to -, APO. 600, and that
the bill allowed the distribution of this
amount of share capital among the present
shareholders,,at par value of 500, while the
actual value is now S235 a share. ltwould
amount, in short, to a division of a heavy
bonus among shareholders, while the pub
lie would be called upon each year to pay
to the company in needlessly high freight
and passenger charges, an amount sutii-
cient to cover 10 per cent dividend on the
volume of stock thus needlessly extended.
Ex-Speaker Reed impaled Congressman
Holman of Indiana, the "watch dog of the
treasury" and champion economist of the
House, last Friday, and made him exceed
ingly uncomfortable, while the items of the
river and harbor bill were under discussion.
Mr. Reed showed that while Holman was
fighting every nfhar itorh it eoinc ~, he
was calmly allowing IA clause for Sl3, go at
his own home at Lawrenceburg, Ind, to go
through Mr.. Reed said that the only pub
lie benefit which would accrue from this
appropriation would be to lift two railroad
tracks out of the water, and he further de
clared that not for - years past, since he
(Reed) had been in the House, had Mr.. Hol-
man opposed an appropriation for any body
or anything in his own state of Indiana.
And Mr. Holman was obliged to sit still
and swallow the dose.

son was cutting down a tree, and Mr..

about to fall until it was too late to
avoid it. He was struck a glancing

said his injuries were serious but not
necessarily fatal. Today we learn that
Mr.. Farrell is getting along well, and

The spreading of the track on which
the Blake Revolving Roasting Furnace
turns necessitated a shutdown this
week for repairs. A thicker and
stronger brick wall will be put in.
Meantime a part of the force of men
at the mines has been laid off until the
furnace turns again. There appears
to be great difference in the wear of
the wheels owing to the difference in
the iron. Some of the axles have worn
but little since they were put in. We

will be taken to secure castings prop

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 12-[Special. +
Chief Jim, who for quarter Of
century has ruled over the Song.
hees Indians, died on the reservation
Saturday night after long illness. About
twenty-six years ago Jim succeeded King
Freeysey, who was chief when the Hudson
bay officers came to Victoria
When Chief Jim assumed power thers
were close on $500 Songhees Indians to
celebrate the event. Now there are but $50
to mourn his loss, but they will be assisted
by 1,0O0Indiansf from Berger bay and up the
line OF the +. Il N. road, who arrived today.
Jim had sent messages to the surrounding
tribes to come to Victoria, as he wished TO
see them before he died, but they arrived
too late.
Chief Jim was descended from one Of the
big families of the tribe. He leaves no
children, but three close relations, one OF
whom will succeed him. The Indiansto-
day commenced decorating themselves for
mourning services, which commence this
evening. The funeral takes place tomor

all pomp and ceremony. The burial sery.

TWO FIREMEN HURT.
E. F. Writers Barn Burned
With Serious Results.
WINDMILL CRUSHES THE ROOF.
It Beats the Two Men Down to the
observation-disclosures Suspected
Loss About $500.
WINDMILL cRusHEs THE ROOF.

E. F. Whittler's stable at the corner of
Depot and Pontius streets was partially
destroyed by fire last night between the
hours of IL and II O'Clock, and Capt. A. B.
Hunt, of Engine Company No. 1, and Jack
Farr, of the same company, were seriously
injured by the fall of the roof.
How or where the fire started is mys-
terry. Some of the neighbors saw the
blaze shooting from the roof and ran to
the barn and aroused George Elms, the
coachman, who was sleeping. He had
time to put on his trousers and escape
from the building before the fire had got
ten great Roadway. Mr.. Whittier was
aroused and telephone alarm sent In.
Even before it reached headquarters the
fire had been observed and chemical No.
2, hose wagons Nos. 1 and 2, engine No. 9
and truck No. l we're on the way. A
splendid run was made, and despite rough
ground and the difficulty experienced in
reaching the spot two streams were soon
at work.
The roof of the building burned rapidly
and the northwest corner had partly
fallen in when Capt. Hunt and Jack Farr
came up the stairs inside the building and
stood where the roof had been been burned
away. While they were getting the hose line
ready, the windmill, which was built on
the roof, fell with crash and imprisoned
Capt. Hunt on the floor, while Farr was
knocked down the stairs and pinned
to the wall. Edwin Corfee, of
chemical No. 1, rescued: Hunt and
carried him from the building, and Farr,
who was nearer the ground floor, was re-
leased with difficulty.
DIR. Morse Stewart was present and
examined Farr, but could not give an
exact opinion as to the extent of his in
juries. The principal injury is to the
small Of the back, and great trouble was
experienced in removing him to Provi-
dence hospital. Capt. Hunt was cut
about the head and bled freely.
His left hip seems to be badly bruised and
the tendons of the thigh strained. He
was able to walk after the doctor had done
up his head in bandages.
Chief Kellogg took charge Of the fire in
person and at Il O'Clock gave orders to stop
work. The lower part of the building
was saved but the hay and some
minor articles were burned. Two
horses, COW and two Carriages
were gotten out without injury. The
building and contents were valued at
81, go and uninsured. The loss will be
fully two-thirds the value. Mr.. Whittier
gives the fire department credit for excel
lent work.
Although there is no positive proof, IL is
believed the fire was the work OF an incen-
diarv
