THE VERMONT NEWS.
The Granite Strike Ended.

II Cost the Cutters at barre $500, 900
aud the Dealers Many ThOusnnds---
Work Resumed at Barre, Montpelier,
WiIliRmstown, Hard,vick and North
heId.
The granite strike is ended. 1t was in
force for p weeks, and during that time
the cutters in Barre alone lost $500, 600 in
wages and the dealers many thousands of
dollars i'm contracts. A settlement was
reached Friday and work i'm the quarries
began Monday. The settlement not only
includes Barre and Montpelier, but Hard
wick, Williamstown and Mortified. The
beneficial effects to all kinds of business in
that section will be felt at once. Neither
dealers or strikers claim to have gained
much by the settlement, the dealers giving
up their demand for January l and the
cutters theirs for May /, both sides COM
promising on March /. Union men must
now work with non-union men without OBJ
lection, and in this the dealers claim to
have gained a point. On the other hand
the strikers say that the association is now
compelled to recognize 80 new firms which
have become competitors since May 80.
OF nearly 1000 cutters employed at Barre
when the strike began, only III are now
idle, and before the firms secure the old
number men will have to come from other
places.
The injunction which the association
placed on Barcley Brothers mill has been
removed and that firm has resumed bust
ness. There is great rejoicing at Barre
oyer the settlement of the trouble. 1t i,
expected that a large amount of bushes:
will be done there this winter, as there i,
! shed room for 1900 cutters.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Two Railroad Disasters.

Seventeen Persons Are Hilled---TObbers
wreck a Train to Secure $1,000, 900.
Two fearful railroad disasters occurred
last week Wednesday. Early in the
morning an east-bound passenger train
collided with a west-bound freight train
on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chica-
go road, near Shreve, Ohio. The passen-
ger train was about one hour late and was
running at the rate of go miles an hour. 1t
is stated that the engineer and fireman on
the freight, while standing on the side
track at Shreve, fell asleep and were
awakened by hearing train rushing by.
Thinking that it was the passenger train,
the engineer pulled out on the main track
and had Just got under way, when the col
lision occurred, on a sharp curve in the
cut where neither crew was able to see the
other train approaching. Passengers and
tranmen who escaped say the accident had
hardly taken place before flames burst
forth. and they believe that only two or
three persons were killed outright, the 9TH
ers having been pinned down in the cars
and slowly roasted to death. Thirteen
burned and backened trunks were taken
from the wreck. Four postal clerks were
among those who were burned to death.
A passenger train on the Atkinson,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad was wreck
ed at 3 o'clock in the morning at bridge
in a ravine near Usage City, Kansas. The
train was on a down grade, running at the
rate of 40 miles an hour. Three cars re-
NAMED on the track, but the others were
demolished, and the occupants were caught
in the debris or thrown through the win
dows. The engineer and fireman and two
trainmen were killed, and many of the
passengers injured. The fish plates had
been removed, the spikes draw from 10 ties
and the rails bent. The train was carry
ing 81 100000 in currency for the Mexican
Central railroad company A place was
found where robbers were concealed neal
the wreck, but they probably became sc
frightened at the extent of the damage
that they fed. The treasure was deeply
buried in the wreck.

Death of II. S. Gilmore,
The Noted Bandmaster, who Organized
The National Peace JubiIees.

The National Peace JubiIees.
p. s. Gilmore, the most noted bandmas-
ter in this country, died at st. Louis Sat
urday. Mr.. Gilmore was born in Ireland
in 1880 and at the age of - was a teacher
of music in that country. He came to
America when 10 years old and for some
time was a band leader in Boston and vi
cinity. At this time he was the leading L
fiat cornet player in the country He
went with his band to the front with the
oath Massachusetts, Volunteers, and two
years later Gen. Banks placed him in
charge of all the bands in Louisiana. He
was the originator of monster concerts in
this country, the first being in the ceebra-
ton of the removal of martial law and
restoration of the civil power at New Or
leans in 1864. On this occasion he led a
a band of 800 musicians, 80 pieces of artil-
leTy loaned by the government were fired by
electricity to mark time on the national
airs, and 10000 children formed the cho-
rus. few years later he conceived the
idea of the great National Peace jubilee,
which was held in Boston. Three years
after the first jubilee, which was entirely
national in character, Gilmore yearned for
a musical gathering which should repre-
sent all nations. With this idea, he visit
ed the chief governments of Europe, the re-
suit being that in 1872 Boston was again
the centre of attraction for the eyes and
ears of all musical Christendom. Never
in the worlds history had there been such
a gathering of musicians. The chorus
numbered 10000 voices, and the great or
chestra 2000 instrumentalists. In addition
to these the noted bands of England,
France, Germany and the United States
took part Afterward Mr.. Gilmore organ
lied the 22d Regiment band in New y ork.
He has since filled many important engage
ments in leading cities.
