At the meeting of the creditors of c. L..
Forbes of the Commercial House, held
last Monday at the Office of Judge Read,
f. A. Norwood, of the firm of Norwood d
Field, was chosen assignee. Few Of the
claims were represented at the meeting, but
many more have been handed in since. A
list of those who are supposed to be credit
ors of Mr.. Forbes shows an aggregate of
bills due from him of sos besides the
mortgage. This amount will probably be
increased somewhat but not largely. The
two largest bills are those of II. 5. Frost
for rent one month, and the Fall Noun
tain Paper company for electric lights,
each of 500. The most serious inconven-
fence is the amount owing to the help of
the hotel, there being eight employees to
whom Mr.. Forbes owes various amounts,
which they can i'll afford to lose, There Is
a prospect of the furniture and fixtures

The Rutland city tax has been fixed at
$50 cents. The amount which will be re-
quired to meet the obligations of the city
between July l and January l is about
S123,0 900. At the lowest calculation it
will require $4,000 month to run the city
even If no work is done on the streets and
sewers, which, added together, would
amount to Sl47,0 A tax of $50 per
cent of the grand list would give the city
not more than 1922, 900 within that time,
and the receipts from prior tax levies and
from water would not be over S23, 900. So
that a tax of $50 per cent will not permit
the city to do any more permanent work
on streets or sewers.
In the year 1894 the city spent over
$206,000; in the year 1895 over Sl95, 900;
in the year 1896 over S19l, 900. The re-
ceipts from taxes in these years at $50 per
cent of the grand list were about 1923, 900,
The city, therefore, was obliged to increase
its debt each year by very large amount.
The interest charge against the city the
first nine months under the city govern
ment was about $4,000, whereas the inter
est charge at the present time is more than
$40, 600 per annum.

Exciting Runaway wednesday.


The scene Of horse dashing down
Westminster street. into the square, and
through that to Canal street wild with
fright, and in the buggy two girls scream
ing with fear, is an entirely unusual one,
but it occurred Wednesday afternoon and
hundreds of those who witnessed it were
thoroughly frightened Miss May Prouty
and Eta Mcdonald were riding with the
team of j. II. Blakeey, accompanied by
lad of 10, who was a visitor at K. A.
Prouty's on School street. The lad was
driving. In turning from Church street
down Westminster street hill he turned
too short and the buggy crampod a little,
throwing him out leaving the reins upon
the ground. The horse started to run and
the girls chung to the buggy AT the foot
of the hill the team struck the pole OF the
heavy ice cart, throwing down one of the
horses, breaking the pole, the end of which
struck into the flank of Mr.. Blakeley S
horse six inches or more. The team then
dashed through the whole length of the
square, striking three or four other teams
on its way. At the head of Canal street
hill L. w. Gould, with great presence of
mind, approaching the danger to the girls,
Jumped in front of the horse, and seized the
bits. He was dragged some distance, but
succeeded in stopping the horse and res
cung the girls from their perilous situation.
1t was an extremely narrow escape for
them. The horse, which was one that
Mr.. and Mrs. Blakeley thought great
deal of, will probably not live because of
the serious injuries. The buggy was not
badly damaged but there was damage to a
number of others which were struck, not
ably the ice team and the buggy of Fred

Gray's "Elegy" leads, as 1t ought to, but
it is to be supposed that the reading of some
