The present legislature of New York has
passed an act looking to the deepening of
the canals of that state from their present
depth of seven feet to nine feet, at an ex-
pense of 100000, and the people are to
vote on it at the November election. The
New York Times, in an able and interest
ing leader, takes the ground that this depth
would not be sufficient to meet the needs
of conveyance under an enlightened policy.
1t favors ship canal to connect Lake On
tario with the Hudson river, which shall
be 26 feet deep and 125 feet wide at the
bottom. This is a stupendous project. 1t
would cost 100000, and there would
be 0,000,0 900 more required for the deep
ening of the upper Hudson for distance
of about thirty miles.

went out to see if the switches were all
right and found the distractions.

THE VERMONT NEWS.
BuncOers Again.
The Third Attempt to Fleece vermont
Farmers within short Time Failed
Like the Others.

The Third Attempt to Fleece vermont
Like the Others.
James G.. Bates, prominent farmer of
Hartland, was enticed into playing three
card monte by two sharpers last week
Wednesday and was allowed to win several
games. Finally the stake was raised to
$4,000. Bates did not have that sum but
said he could get it at White River June
ton and one of the sharpers drove there
with him. Bates went to the National
bank and told Cashier J. L. Bacon that he
wanted $500.
He exhibited as bankable collateral
$1,000 in registered United States bonds
and the balance in other paper, saying he
wanted the money with which to effect a
trade on which he could make 5000.
Cashier Bacon declined to make a loan on
this basis, whereupon Bates asked him to
advance $1,000 on the bonds. The bank
ing house having closed, Bacon informed
Bates of that fact, but offered a draft for
the bonds, which Bates declined, saying
that the person he was trading with must
be paid spot cash. Bates then left, going
on foot toward Hartland, but Mr.. Bacon,
feeling assured that Bates was being roped
into bunco game, conlided his belief to
William Batchelder, lawyer, who procured
a team, followed after Bates and overlook
him riding in the wagon with the stranger.
Batchelder shouted to Bates that he wanted
to talk with him and he left the wagon and
came back. After waiting a few minutes
the stranger put the whip to his horse and
drove away, leaving Bates, who, chagrined
at this turn in affairs, divulged to Batch
elder the real facts in the case. Bates was
taken back home.
Meanwhile the pal, who was left at
Hartland, hired team and drove to White
River junction, putting up the team at
Gibbs livery stable. He then left.
The sharpers are believed to be the ones
who tried the same game on farmer in
Bethel.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Insurance swindIer Captured.
His Executor Had Received $4,000
from Several Companies,

from Several Companies.
Living in the wilds of northern Mime
sofa, 90 miles from post-oflice, with only
a boy for companion, DR.. George w.
Fraker, who planned one of the most gil
gantic and successful insurance swindles of
modern times, was captured Monday by
officers who have been on his track for the
past two years. Up to Aug. II last there
was a standing reward of $4,000 for his
arrest offered by the insurance companies.
In the latter part of 1898 DR.. Fraker was
physician to the st. Elmo Hotel, in Excel
sior Springs, near Kansas City. Together
with seven or eight companions, the doc
tor went fishing on the Missouri river one
day, and after dark he disappeared and his
companions swore that he had been drown
ed. He had taken out large life insurance
policies only three months before. The
body could not be found. The insurance
companies refused to pay over the money
and the case went to the courts. The first
verdict was for the defence, but later
judgment was given for the full amount,
which the companies paid over August II
last. Fraker says his boat capsized and
he was carried across the Missouri river.
The next morning he read of his death
and he then concluded not to return.

"The Most Goddess city on the Ameri-
can Continent"

In the opinion of Rev. Thomas Dixon,
jr., as expressed in his discourse in the
Academy of Music at New York Sunday,
New York is 1.-THE most goddess city on the
American continent" There is only one
church for every 1900 inhabitants, and
there ale districts where there are $4,000
inhabitants and no church. Professionalism
has failed in New York The Protestant
churches are moving away from the people
and losing their hold on the masses. There
are 1000 secret orders in New York, and
not single woman member, and 300
churches, the membership of which is
three-fourths women.

The wild Man Seen Again at Cole
brook, Conn.

The wild man of Colebrook, Conn, has
been seen again. He chased three men
employed by M. p. Laeffhin, and they took
refuge in a corn house. The wild man
crawled under the house and succeeded in
tearing off small board when one of the
men struck his hand with a hoe severing
finger which had four-inch nail. The
wild man hurled himself against the corn
house with great force and would have I'M
doubtedly succeeded in destroying it had
not Constable Flockton and dozen men
heard the cries of the three imprisoned in
the corn house and come to their rescue.
They opened fire on the strange figure,
who bounded away. He seemed to be in
jured, but he distanced all of the pursuers.
The mans body is covered completely with
hair. 1t is thought by some that the OBJ
ject is gorilla which has escaped from a
circus.

The Ely Copper Mine to be Reopened.

The old Ely copper mine is soon to be
put into active operation again. The mine
was rated as the third richest copper mine
in the country when first IN operation.
Very favorable reports have recently come
from expert mineralogists who have visited
the mine, and it is believed that a still
richer yield can be obtained. In 1890 the
yield was 100000 pounds of dressed cop
per ore. Since that time the mine has
been closed, owing to the i'll health Of the
owner, o. X. GRANGE. Several New York
and Boston capitalists are considering the
subject of purchasing the plant. Most
prominent it is said, is rich New York
syndicate, which sent experts to examine
the property recently. The town is now
deserted. The re0pening of operations,
however, will revive the industry and bring
new life into the heart of Vermont

Lake Front Park Addition at Chicago.

An agreement has been entered into be-
tween the city of Chicago and the Illinois
Central railroad, whereby the city secures
an addition of 1874 acres to the lake Front
Park, worth S2O,OOO,OOO, and gives to the
railroad, in exchange, eight acres of ground
now submerged and to be filled in, worth
SS,000,000. The city also secures a COM
Portable yacht harbor of II acres. Much
fault is found with Mayor Swift in giving
away Subject to the consent of the coun-
ciD eight acres of land to the railroad in
return for what the city could force the
company to do without giving it anything.

Nearly as Large as the Great Eastern.

"A steamer of 10000 tons capacity has
been ordered by the Hamburg-American
Packet company The Great Eastern,
which was of $4,000 tons measurement,
was too big for profitable use at the time
she was built, put "things are different
now" The Great Eastern was built be-
fore the time had arrived for such big
vessel. 1t is quite possible that her coun-
terpart in size, with modern machinery
and equipments, could be made profitable.
She would at least find more ports and
docks open to her. The new vessel is to
be built for freight, but will also have &C
commodations for POO cabin and 1900 steer
age passengers.

International Yacht Race.
The Defender VIII Sail Against VaIky-
RE III. Sept. :, 10 and IL.

The trial yacht races, preliminary to the
international races, ended Friday, when
the Defender defeated the Vigilant over
course of 20 miles off Sandy Hook, by
minutes and II seconds. The race was
ten miles to windward and return. In the
race Thursday the Vigilant was beaten
over every leg of the "a mile course, fin
ishing over Is minutes behind the Defend
er. 1t was decided on Saturday to have
the Defender defend the Americas cup. The
first three races against Valkyrie Ill. will
be sailed Sept. 7, 10 and II. If five should
be required to settle the contest the other
races will be sailed on the 18th and 18th.
Since July 20 the Defender has engaged in
II races, and has won, on actual time, all
but three. These three she lost because of
accidents to her rigging. Otherwise she
would undoubtedly have finished first in all
II, as in each of the times she broke down
she had a lead over the Vigilant. Some of
the races she won by only a very close
margin, one of them being by only one
minute and forty-nine seconds. That race,
and possibly others, it will probably be
seen when the time allowance which De
fender must allow Vigilant is given, were
won on corrected time by the Gould boat.
The average time by which Defender has
beaten Vigilant in the several races is a
little more than nine minutes.
Only in one race has Defender been
sailed for all that there is in her. That
was on Thursday when the conditions were
apparently equally favorable.

Underground Trolley Lines in New
York.

The New York World is authority for the
statement that the city of New York is to
have an immense underground trolley sys-
TEN, to take the place of the horse cars and
cable lines. The lines are to be built by
the Metropolitan Traction company, and
the simple statement from John D. Grim
minis, authorized to speak for his company,
is that within five years all of the roads of
the company's system will be operated by
electricity. More than this, the people of
New York will be furnished with means
of pleasure from sources which have been
hitherto regarded as mere equipments of
transportation.
