finish paying the bills incident upon the
first stages of its career. 1t has been ex-
ceedingly well patronized, and, although
there were at first some "doubting Thorn

RUTLAND, VT, May IN. ID. Nicnol-
son, an agent for the Rutland Marble
company Il among the missing. His
disappearance which is explained by the
following story has caused great excite
ment among his friends here:
Somewhat over a year ago Nicholson

aLoat four or FIVE weeks' duration, after
whica lie " oud spend week or 80 at his
home In this town. His wife, young
woman OF high musicai attainments was
respected by all who knew her here.
Cruel rumcr' we're sometimes circulated
regarding the continued absence of her
husband. but Mrs. Nicholson's conf
dence was not easily shaken.
Ii was not until letter fell into her
han addressed to the wife of NJ. ID.
Nicholson that she became suspicious OF
the fact that another women had a ciaiin
on him. The letter had been sent TO
Palmer, Mass, where Nicholson had
hea quart II and through some mis-
take was forwarded 10 Rutland, where
Nicholson claimed n home. IL WAS writ

England.
This fact becoming known whole
story was soon out, aud Nicholson im-
proved his first opportunity TO skip town.
Before leaving ne decided all but about
&,lO0 of lis properly TO his Rutland

communicated With. but she refuses TO
talk un tue subject. Whether she knew

NOT FOR THIS SUMMER.
No Filter Plant Can be Erected 10
DO Used for Some Months.
IMPORTANT RESULTS SECURED.
The Experiments Thus Far Have Been
Valuable Both In Saving Time and
Money-Resuits Expected to be Ready
TO be Announced i'm n short Time.

The experiments with the water filters
at Pettaconsett station have made plain
. fact OF which Commissioner Smith and
City gineer Shedd were aware before
the experiments began, namely: That
whatever other system may eventually
be adosted no filter plant can be con-
structed in time to be of any practical
use for this summer
1t was April ~ before the filters
erected by the New York Filter company
and the Morrison Allen company were
finally turned over to the city. IL had
required nearly a month for these COZ
panies to get. their filters ready
ing that during the three weeks
that have elaps sd no conclusive
results OF the experiments should have
been obtained There are 80 many points
to be determined and 30 many results to
be obtained that the committees work
must necessarily consume many weeks
Of time. These results, too. are to be
obtained not for o le day or week but
must cover a period Of month or more
Many Analyses Made.
The committees assistants have
worked night and day since the expert
ments began. Many analyses have been
made showing more or less perfect work
ing of the filters under diff rent pres
sures of water. The main point to be de-
termined. however, Is that relating to
the use of alum. The cost of this. the
cost OF clearing. the amount to be used.
the pressures TO be adopted and the gen
eral effects of the alum under all posi-
bic combinations OF thes. varied condi-
tions are all to be determined for n series
OF DAYS and weeks. and will require
more time than the public were led To
expect.
The Value OF Experiments.
Although all this work will require
more time than those who were anxious
for the Immediate installment of filter
plant for use this summer could wish,
yet the special committeeman, Smith,
Shedd aud Chaplin, are more than
satisfied that the experiments -have-al-
ready been extremely valuable, aud when
completed the results made public will
prove to the community that its value
lar more than offssts the apparent delay
which they may have caused. This ex-
perimentiIfg on a small scale will save
the city many thousands of dollars aud IL
will save line as we'll, because when COM
pleted the city officials will have learned
by experience just how to construct
an operate a filter plait, and the
results to be obtained will no longer be
problematicai. 1t is thought by the
committee that it will require about
three weeks longer before the expert
ments shall be completed or carried to
state where conclusive aud defnite re-
suits may be announced.
