mail train came it failed to keep the main
track but ran on to the side track and
collided with the freight, resulting in a

The damage can all be repaired with the
exception Of one freight car, which is a
complete wreck. One of the cars was
loaded with fifty barrels OF golden honey,
some of which were broken open, and

Big Granite DeaIa South Ryegate.-


Ryegate is likely to experience boom
when the new combination that has just
been effected gets into good working con-
dition.
The Blue Mountain Granite company
the Ryegate Granite Works company
and the M. H. Gibson quarry have been
united and will be known as the Ryegate
Granite Works company, with a capital
OF SIPS. 900. Officers have been elected
and are as follows: President. H. w.
Bailey, of Newbury; vice ce-president, Alex.
Cochran, of Groton; manager, w. H.
Gibson. of Ryegate; board of directors
consists of the three officers with H. w.
Allen of Woodsville, and Alexander Dun
nett of St. Johnsbury. 1t isagood work
ing board of officers and if the granite
| business isn't lively in this place it will
be because business in that line is ex-
tremely dull. The facilities Tor doing
business will be enlarged and more help
employed. The head officers will give
the company their undivided attention,
Mr.. Bailey having resigned his position
as town clerk oil Newbury which he has
held for many years, and Mr.. Gibson
having given the management of his
brick yard to Others. Mr.. Cochran is
still at home, for he was heformer wner
of the Blue Mountain Granite Works.
The quarres of the new company cover
an extent OF 1926 acres, and contain gran
ite Of the best quality suitable for all kinds
ofwork. The manufacturing plant con-
veniently located on the M. & w. r. X.
The cutting sheds are situated three miles
from the quarries. road built especially
for hauling granite connecting the two
places. A never failing water power OF
$50 horse power is utilized. The COM
pany has a complete line OF tools, includ-
ing a Mcdonald stoue-cuttiug machine
which is the only perfect one yet invented.
Pneumatic tools will be added. The ia.
cilities OF the company will enable them
to furnish work in Barre granite as cheap
or cheaper than it can be obtained in
Barre.
The company has reputation for mau
soleum work, having completed the nine.
teenth one this year. The most noticea
bic one is in the Elmwood cemetery al
Detroit, built by the city at a cost o
$50 900 and for which the Rvcgate Gran
ite Works company furnished all the
granite work. The companys superin
tendent is man who thoroughly under
stands his business. The company ha:
erected thirty-one monuments on tn,
battle6elds of Gettysburg and Chicka

Col. T. c. Fletcher retires from the

of continuous service. During most Of
this time he was chairman of the board
and purchasing agent. When he entered
the board there was debt Of $31 900,
and in nine years time this debt was
reduced to $4,000. The school tax
was 65 cents on the dollar in 1884 and
when the town system was adopted the
tax had been reduced to 35 cents on the
dollar. During Col. Fletcher's term OF
office the schools have been increased,
the salaries oil teachers raised and the
standard of scholarship increased. He
has been fortunate in not only having
able associates on the board to carry
out these improvements, but in also hav-
ing the advice and assistance of Mrs.
Fletcher, who is an enthusiastic worker
along educational lines.
