THE GRANITE STRIKE.

Carrfck Brothers Company act with the
Resf-Nfnefeen Union Men Locked Out.
-PoIishers and Apprentices at Work.
The Carrick Brothers Granite COM
pany, being a member OF the Manu-
facturers' associa ton, feel the effects
of the present strike among granite
cutters, and have been compelled to
act in concert with other members of
the association and lock out the union
men in their employ-some nineteen
in all. The polishers and apprentices,
however, are still at work.
1T is an unfortunate affair" re-
marked President Smith yesterday.
Our men were contented with the
present schedule, and everything was
going along nicely. But we had no
other course than to lock them out;
our membership in the assOcia ton
compelled us to do So"
The manufacturers claim that if the
cutters who inaugurated the strike
had been content to work along I'M
der the present schedule until January
1st and allow contracts made under
that schedule to be completed, it
would then have been possible to ar
range a new schedule; but it was
impossible for them to re-arrange a
schedule as of May 1st Of this year,
not warrant it,
1t is not easy to state when the
struggle will end. Both sides are de-
ternined, and the outcome depends
in large measure on which can hold
out the longer.

BASE BALL NOTES.

From the moment the game open
ed on the campus Saturday till the
last ball was pitched the excitement
never waned and the chances were
apparently equal for the success of
either nine The brawny visitors
opened the game by scoring four
runs, and were somewhat surprised
to see the Academy team score three
in their half of the first. Until the
seventh they failed to score again,
the home team meanwhile running
up a score of seven. In the seventh
and eighth the visitors scored five
runs, making their score nine. AL
though the home team scored run
in the ninth and had a man left on
second, they were obliged to be con-
tent with eight runs-and defeat.
The attendance was very large,
the crowd orderly and the new seats
much appreciated. The official score
is as follows:

About fifty students accompanied
the Varsity team to Amherst Tues
day to witness the two league games
between the purple and the green. A
large delegation will also accompany
the athletic team, composed of thirty
men, to Springfield next Wednesday,
and attend the annual intercollegiate
athletic meet, of which A D. Salin-

shall. Among the participants in
the track events will be three Acade-

About one thousand people were
glad to have the skies clear last Fri
day afternoon in time for the base
ball game with Harvard, which has
not been represented on our campus
for ten years. A closely played game
followed, resulting in a score of 4 to
3 in Dartmouth favor. In the last
inning Harvard's famous catcher,
Upton, had the thumb of his right
hand broken. The game Saturday
morning was equally as interesting,
though neither of the well-known
pitchers, Highlands and O'Connor,
occupied the box, and the boys in
red shut out Dartm outh, 5 90.

hard for the meet at Springfield May
25th. Amherst is practically sure of
five firsts, with good fighting chances
in several other events So it now
looks as if she, unless the recipient
of a good deal of hard luck, would
again carry off the pennant. A good
proportion of the college will ac-
company the team to Springfield,
and the Glee and Banjo clubs will
give concert there in the evening of
the day of the contest.

There is to be another game here
on Saturday next between the Acad
emvs and the Morrisville nine. The
games thus far have been such as to
warrant a good turnout at this one
on Saturday. Game called at 100
p. m.
The Newport Express, speaking of
the ball game here on Saturday last,
said: "Quackenbos was appointed
captain, and will make good man
for the position if he don't kick too
often" a ball game without kick
would be a novelty.
The Village nine should be getting
ready for business. A good start
has been made, on the campus and
St. Johnsbury people are in readiness
some good games.
The Academys made a twenty-dol-
lar note from last Saturdays game
1t was worth it.
Capt. Hale can take Capt. Quack-
enbos' word for it, that this is
the strongest Academy niue ST.
Johnsbury ever had" and feel well
accordingly.

SUGGESTIONS AS TO FIRE ALARMS.


EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:-Let every
body learn where the fire alarm
boxes are, where the keys are kept,
and how to give the alarm. A few
months ago fire occurred on M cunt
Pleasant street. A person ran
hither and thither to find a kew to
the alarm box No one seemed to
know. At last one was found and
the box opened, but there were no in
structions how to give the alarm.
That house and others might have
burned before the engine arrived.
Fortunately the fire was extinguish-
ed by persons on the spot Recently
another fire occurred on the same
street. This was also extinguished.
There was no card in the house tell
ing where the keys to the fire alarms
were kept. Afterwards a card was
procured, but on it were no instruc-
tons telling how to give the alarm.
Let everybody learn where the
alarms are, where the keys are kept,
and how to give the alarm. Ought
| there not also to be posted with
every alarm box a card telling where
the keys are kept and how the
alarm is given? M.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
Prof. b G. Northrop's Lecture Safur-
day Night.

day Night
Prof. B. c. Northrop OF Clinton,
Conn, deserved larger audience
in Music hall last Saturday even
ing. He was introduced by II.
N Turner. president Of the Board OF
Trade, under whose auspices he
came to ST. Johnsbury. The speak
er referred to two improvements
particularly noticeable since his last
visit II years ago: the trimming OF
the trees in Arnold park, and the I'M
provements around the Fairbanks
boarding house He said it was
great mistake to have heavy ever
greens or great shades near the
house.
Prof Northrop said he was delight
ed to learn that movement was on
foot to obtain 40 acres of land
around Observatory Knob. when
this land is obtained a circular drive
way should be made and such trees
as European larches planted.
The speaker then dwelt at length
upon what village Improvement soc1-
cites had done for New Haven, Conn,
Clinton, N. Y, and the towns among
the Berkshire hills of Massachusetts.
Eat Portland, Conn, all the mills
and factories shut down one day and
the people laid sidewalks. At Gin
ton there are only three houses
painted a glaring white; all the rest
being painted some of the neutral
tints."
"Arbor day was started 81 years
ago by Gov. Morgan OF Nebraska.
Twelve million trees were planted IN
Nebraska on the first Arbor day.
Nine years ago, introduced resolu-
ton at the session of the American
Forestry association to have an
Arbor day appointed in every state
in the Union; forty states and
territories now observe the day"
Prof. Northrop related how he in
duced Gov. Pingree to appoint an
Arbor day in this state, and how
Gov. Pingree afterwards told him 1t
was the most popular thing he ever
did. On that first Arbor day there
were 1000 trees planted in Rutland
and 1000 in Rutland that is now the
town of Proctor. He urged the
planting in this town of European
larches and Japanese ivy, and sug-
gested that there was a good chance
for flower beds at the Fairgrounds
opposite the Union school buildings.
Good ventilation and perfect sani
tation are necessary everywhere.
Tainted water is the commonest
agent known for dissernina ting
typhoid fever. Another aim of vii
lage improvement societies is the
elevation and ennoblement of the
home" The speaker declared this
was a model town and was sure the
Woman's club and the Board Of
Trade could create a public senti-
ment that would carry every meas
ure on which they united.

THE PORTLAND STREET BRIDGE.

Supt. Folsom of the Passumpsic
railroad and Chief Engineer Bissell
of the Boston & Maine system met
representative of the Board of
Trade, village trustees and selectmen
Yesterday to talk over the proposed
bridge from Railroad street to Sum
merville. The meeting was entirely
informal, and neither the railroad
folks nor our people could make any
proposition as to the probab bic cost of
such a structure, or say how much
either the railroad or the town would
oay towards it. The ST. Johnsbury
parties impressed upon the railroad
people the necessity of an overhead
bridge and the abolition of the grade
crossings. 1t Is understood that a
representative of bridge company
will be here in about week, when
estimate of the cost of an iron
bridge will be furnished. The matter
is likely to be brought up in the
Board of Trade as soon as the esti-
mates are furnished by the bridge
builders.
