PROF CLARK'S WORK
At the Head Of the Maryland GeoIogi-
cal survey.

The work Of the Maryland geological
survey, which is being carried on under
the direction of Prof. William Bullock
Clark. of the Johns Hopkins university,
state geologist, is being pushed with vgor
in several sections of the state. says the
Baltimore, Md, sun Of July l. in a
column article. A large area will be thor
oughly surveyed during the present sum
mer. AT the same time, the results of the
previous work are being rapidly brought
together for publication, and the second
volume OF the survey reports, much elabC-
rated over earlier plans, will shortly APP
pear,
The topographic work which is being
carried on under an act Of the last legisla-
ture, in cooperation with the United States
geological survey, is making rapid strides
in the mountainous portions Ci western
Maryland, and Garrett and Allegheny coun-
ties will be completed before the close OF
the field season. This work is being pushed
forward in order TO afford a basis for the
coal report which is in preparation.
Prof Clark said thai the conditions are
peculiarly favorable the present season for
securing large results from the work, on ac-
count of the large amount of cooperation
which has been secured from the United
States government bureaus. He ant.ci-
pates that large amount OF new nforma-
ton will be added to the constantly grow
ing stock Of the state geological survey
| Maryland was peculiarly backward in COM
| parisOn with other states in geological mat
| tiers until the organization Of the present
survey. The first report, published a year
| ago, has been so widely reviewed in home
and foreign journals that the results OF the
survey are already beginning to bear fruit.

County Court.

There was hearing in the office of Has
kins Il Schwenk Friday afternoon in the
case of Russell l.. Roberts of Guilford
against Henry y. Wilder and Alice |.
Wilder of Guilford on the foreclosure of
mortgage, The hearing was before Judge
l.. NJ. Read of Bellows Falls, referee, John
f. Gale and Haskins n Schwenk conduct
ing the case for the plaintiff and O. f.
Butterted of Wilmington for the defend
ants.
The mort gage conveyed to Mr. Roberts
the blacksmith shop in Gulford occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs Wilder. Mrs. Wilder
claimed homestead interest by reason OF
the fact that she did not sign the mort
gage. The plaintiff claimed that at the
time the mortgage was given the building
was kept and used solely as a blacksmith
shop and that in 1892 the defendant fitted
up the upper part of the building and
moved into it.
The defendants claimed that the build
ing was built with the intention of being
used as homestead and that when the
mortgage was given it was the only real
estate they had. Judge Read will report
his findings TO the county court.

Ing Drunk.


Sheriff Gordon received by telephone
this morning a request TO come to West
Dummerston 10 arrest four men who were
intoxicated and were creating a disturb
ance by fighting, yelling and making things
generally unpleasant at the granite quarry.
Sheriff Gordon and Deputy Sheriff Nc
Clure left for the scene al once in a three
seated carriage, but, on their arrival they
found that two of the birds had flown.
They then recalled the fact that they had
met a man who appeared to be intoxicated
and who was accompanied by two other
men, and they concluded that he was one
of the men whom they wanted Moth
ing more was seen of him, and it is sup
posed that he was making for New Hamp-
shire
The two remaining men were fighting
drunk and they were refractory at first,
but they quieted down after being put in
irons. One of them said he was employed
by the Lyons Granite company, and the
other claimed to be an employee of Ward
Il Douglass, who have the contract for
the new Milestone bridge. They were

THE RAILROAD CENsURED
For the Explosion Mt Wilmington
which Resulted In the Death OF En-

which Resulted In the Death OF En-
ginter and Fireman.
The railroad commissioners of Vermont
have rendered their decision OF response
bility for the accident on the HOosac Tun-
mel ~ Wilmington railroad May 81, Ivy
which ZephrOn Douglass. and l.. L. Faux.
ner lost their lives. Their report on the
matter, as result Of careful investigation,
says that while the cause of the terrible
explosion may never be known. grave re-
sponsiblily rests with the company for the
neglect In the examination of its loComO-
tives,
The commissioners met p Wilmington
June 10 to conduct the investigation
The state was represented by States At
torney Charles II. Robh. the railroad
company by +, l.. Waterman.
The report repeats the facts in the case
which have already been published in this
paper. and says. "a. the circum-
stances point to a gradual weakening Of
the boiler by breakage and deterioration Of
stay bolts until it was ready TO yield to any
pressure more than the normal strain in
its every day use. For some occult reason
this strain was present al the time of the
explosion and the natu, al result followed
When it comes to fixing tie responsible
ty for the accident and the deaths of the
two men, the report says: at appeared
that the inspections Of this boiler since
May 1897, had been of the most super
fetal character. The machine shops of
the Hoosac Tunnel " Wilmington Rail
road company were provided with only The
most crude facilities for making careful in
spections and practically no repairs or eX-
amnatious of this engine were made
cNcep, at such times as certain parts OF
fixtures became impaired from use and the
attention of the master mechanic was
/ called to the matter by the engineer, when
these particular defects were remedied.
The board finds that this neglect on The
par, Of the Hoosac Tunnel ~ Wilmington
Railroad company 20 make regular and
exhaustive inspections OF its engines is a
reflection upon the company in It's care
Of the locomotives in use upon the road
and is deserving OF censure.
Ordinary prudence would have suggested
more thorough and more frequent eXami-
nat ions of these vital adjuncts TO the safe
and secure operation Of the road. and i'm
mediate measures should be instituted
whereby every locomotive in service on
the road will receive reasonably frequent
and thorough inspections by competent
experts
Il is not known yet whether Mr. Doug
lass or the family of Nj Faulkner will sue
the road or not. By the terms of the in
vesigation the finding of the commission
ers is not to be used as evidence for dam

Young Woman.
Miss Ethel NJ Dugan, 10. daughter Of
MI and Mrs. John Dugan, died at her
home in Esteyville Sunday morning after
an illness OF about a weeks duration.
The disease first appeared in the form of a
paralysis of the throat, but later developed
into an effusion Of water on the brain. Il
is thought that the paralysis may have
been caused by a slight fall which Miss
Dugan had at Lake Spotford July 4.
Miss Dugan was next 10 the youugest in
a family Of four children. She had spent
nearly all OF her life in this village and
was bright and very popular young wom-
an. She graduated from the classical de-
partmeut Of the Brattleboro High school
in lSoG being one OF the best scholars in
her class.
Since her graduation she had been en-
ployed in A. |. Howe's paper ruling shop,
but OF late had devoted much OF her time
to the study of music for which she had q
decided aptitude, like the other members
OF the family Miss Dugan was an &C
complished pianist and had played In pub
lie many times as All accompanist.
Her death is the first break in the family
circle. and she leaves beside her parents
one sister, Miss Myrtle Dugan, and two
brothers. Clinton and Alison Dugan.
The funeral of Miss Dugan was held
Tuesday morning at 9 O'Clock from the
home of her parents On Locust street, Rev.
Hal d. Maxwell officiating A large num-
Der OF people attended the service, and
there were many beautiful floral tributes.
The bearers were members OF Miss Dugan' :
class in the High school, The body was
taken to Montague, Mass, for burial.

He started out to get filters for our regi-

none. The doctor is man who seldom
takes no for an answer, and followed the
trail until he procured 22-1l of each kind
that are capable of filtering "a barrels of
water a day. The water is just fine that
comes from them and we are sorry no
more than that amount can be obtained in
one day for over 1000 men. But we
should be very thankful for what the doc
