The Trolley VS., the Steam Railroads
4 From tho Purlipptor Eraa prass


The contest between the Central Yer
mont railroad and the electric railroad be-
tween Winooski and Essex Junction is
but a slight illustration of the struggle in
progress in various sections of the eastern
United States, and one which is certain to
increase in intensity as the years 60
by. This gigantic conflict of in
terests has Just begun, yet number of
steam railways have already found power
full competition for local service among
recently established trolley lines. The
New York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road company finds its entire line between
New York and New Haven paraleled or
about to be by trolley system which will
inevitably divert much of its passenger
earning capacity. The New York Central
road has met the question on its Niaagra
Falls branch by deciding TO change its
motive power from steam to electricity
and to use the trolley system. Along the
line of the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
way the competition of the trolleys has
been so great as to force the managers of
the steam roads to cut their fares in two,
and the Baltimore and Ohio has taken the
bull by the horns and arranged for a test
of electrical engines on one of its regular
lines.
1t looks as if some of the steam railroad
companies had been caught mapping, for
these electric lines grew up while they
were calmly looking on and while they
themselves might easily have constructed
the necessary trolley lines demanded by
local travel. That the steam companies
have finally awakened TO the true signifi-
canoe of the struggle was made evident
during the recent session of the New
Hampshire legislature, considerable num-
Der of electric road projects falling because
of the refusal of the legislature to grant
charters therefor.
Up to the present time nearly all the adj
vantages outside of legislation have been
with the electric roads in the contest with
steam roads for local traffic The chief of
these advantages is that while the steam
roads had to buy their right of way as
rule, the trolleys, with very few exceptions,
have been allowed to operate upon streets
for the use of which they paid nothing.
The most important set back which the
trolley roads have met, as the Free Press
goes on to point out is the decision of the
Pennsylvania supreme court that street
railways have no right of way between
separate towns and cities under the general
law, that the town authorities cannot con-
fer such rights, and roads therefore cannot
be built in country districts without the
consent of the abutters and payment to
them of damages.

Mrs. Benjamin Bunker died at her home
on Green street early Thursday morning.
Mrs. Bunker has been great sufferer for
nearly 20 years from rheumatism, and
nearly helpless for many years. Her
many friends speak of her as very patient
in all her suffering, and that in calling up
on her they would never know from any
thing she said that she was not perfectly
well. She leaves one son, Benjamin Bun
ker, jr., of Barton, who has been with his
mother the past week.
Our streets have been very dry and dusty
the past few weeks, and the watering cart
of former years is much missed outside of
the business portion, which is the only
section being kept wet this year. J. r.
Blood, who has done the sprinkling for
some years, feels that so few proportion
ately pay any thing for the residence por-
ton that he cannot afford to do it at all.
Many of those who have subscribed in
former years have refused to pay when the
time came, so he has lost money. Should
any one have interest enough to raise the
funds, the same service could be arranged
as last year, but he does not feel he can
tease the people, hence the people are 'eat-
ing their peck of dust so far this year,
and probably some more.

with insurance of S2700. The Lyons
house was one of the oldest in town and
was of much historic interest, being one
of the old-tim hotels of that section. 1t

FIRE AT PUTNEY.

VI. {. Ingalls's Barn struck by Light

other Buildings saved.
Nj. c. ingalls, has good cause to remem-
Der the first thunder shower of the season.
During the most severe part of the shower
last night, at just half-past : o'clock, his
barn, which was perhaps the largest in
town, was struck by a bolt of lightning
and burned to the ground. The lightning
struck the barn on the west side, just
north of the cupola, and ignited it instant
ly from end to end. Mr.. ingalls, was
standing in the doorway of the barn at the
time. Owing to this fortunate circum-
stance-and indeed it was fortunate mis-
fortune all through-he was able to rescue
his cattle, seven in number, and two
horses, but three calves were burned. His
moving machine, harness and small tools
were burned with about four tons of hay
and some straw. The building was in
sured through A. w. Childs d Co. When
the fire was discovered by the village Peo-
pie it was at first thought to be across the
river, but when its true location was known
100 men went at once to the scene and
fought bravely to save the adjacent build
ings, the nearest of which was a corn
barn containing 300 bushels OF corn, sep
arated from the l. of the main barn by a
driveway Il feet wide. A futile attempt
was made to tear down this l. by pulling
out the supports. A large rope was tied
around them and two of them pulled out
in that way, but the others could not be
moved until the boards had been burned
off, when a large pole was placed against
the framework and it was pushed over.
Twice the corn barn was discovered to be
on fire. Had there not been an abundance
of rain it would have been impossible to
have saved any of the buildings Light.

no further damage is reported

A Reliable Institution.

This can be truly said of the Bryant &
Stratton Commercial school of Boston,
which, as our readers will notice by the
advertisement in this weeks issue, will re-
open Tuesday, Sept. 8. This school, which
is the largest and most successful of its class
in the world, really needs no recommends
tion from us. 1t stands at the head of all
schools of a similar character. Its gradu-
ates can be found by thousands in the lead
ing counting-rooms of New England, and
it can be patronized with the most implicit
confidence that nothing that is possible to
be done for its pupils will be left undone.

FRANKS AT DUMMBRsToN.
The House Of George Webber struck
and Furniture Splintered---Mrs. Web
Der Unconscious an Hour.


The lightning played variety of pranks
at the house of George Webber in Dunn
merston last evening between : and S
o'clock. The bolt first struck the south
side of the house, throwing down the case
ments and generally disturbing things in
that part of the house, one of its antics
being to silver one leg and the side of a
bedstead into the finest kindlings. After
skipping room the bolt seemed to divide,
entering the dining room in two places.
Mrs. Weber, who was passing through a
door within few feet of where one part
of the current struck, was knocked down
by the shock and did not recover conscious
ness for some time. d. S. Ormes, the
father of Mrs. Weber, was cut about the
face and hands with pieces of flying glass.
Mr.. Weber, Mrs. Ormes, and the IS
months-old-child which Mrs. Weber had
in her arms were not affected by the stroke.
Different parts of the rooms and furniture
were charred, but nothing took fire.
