Bennington will ask to become city
at the coming session of the legislature.
Cities will now be a popular fad since
the daily newspaper fever has begun to
cool in the southern part Of the state.
Barre is glad to welcome Benning-
ton as sister city but we doubt if such
a sep will tend to increase her growth.
Bennington is one of our Oldest and
most historic towns and was for long
time the headquarters of the Vermont
government under Fay, Allen, Bak-
or and others, and more diplomacy has
been planned there than in any other
place in the state. 1t may be said too
that here the cause of the resolution was
saved, for at the most critical period Of
that bloody war the Green Mountain
Boys through the Council of Safety were
pleading to deaf ears for admittance
to the Union while on the other hand
Great Britain was holding but allure
ments TO them asking Vermont to be-
come British subject and receive her
protection. This meant that the British
army would be given the right of way
directly into the heart of our country
which if it had been accomplished would
have amihilated forever the cause Of
of the Colonies. The council Of safety
kept Great Britain quiet by promises
and coquetry for three long years and
it was at Bennington at John Fay's
famous Catamount tavern the policy
was determined which should govern Ira
Allen in his conference with Gen. Hal
dimand in regard 10 Vermont's adher-
ence to Great Britain. The whole his
tory of the Revolutionary War does not
present more interesting bit Of diplo-
macy than this. The British Generals
knew from past experience that it was
an lmposslDlllty 10 force their way
through the ranks of the sturdy Green
Mountain boys who guarded their bor-
del Businesses as the tiger does her cubs.
But failing in their clever scheme to
get rid of this dreaded barrier they
finally started on their invasion and how
well they were received at Ilubbarton,
pittsford and Bennington is a threadbare
story in every household. So in honor
of the glorious past let us congratulate
the home of our Green Mountain heroes
upon the step they are about to take and
may their city fathers be as wise as
those who met at Catamount Tavern in
the days of Ethan Allen.

BAD ACCIDENT IN NEW YORK.
Iron Superstructure Blown Down--TSvo
 Killed, Three Missing.

New York, Sept. TIA gust of wind afternoon blew down the heavy iron superstructure of new Pier 50, at the foot of West Twelfth street, instantly killing one man and injuring ten oth- CTS, one of whom afterwards died. There were ninety men at work on the superstrueture when it fell. The man killed outright was Samuel Patterson.
 The wounded: James Leonard (died on the way to the hospitaD, Charles Bostwick, Jerry Brown, J. Malone, Os- car Oslader George Lilly George Cal Ions, Michael Evsorl, George Conlxlin, Walter Latham. The injured men were taken to the St. yincent's hospital.
 The new pier is 800 feet long and is being erected by the Wilson Steamship company. The heavy iron beams and girders were up, and the roof, which was also of iron, was on. When the storm loomed up from the southwest a tremendous blast of wind rushed in un- der the iron superstructure, and, fairly lifting it from the pier, allowed it to drop again in a mass of twisted and gnarled iron, burying the men under it. During the lull that intervened between the first roar of the wind and the sharp metallic creakings of the twisted iron could be heard the cries and means of the wounded. The uninjured men made a rush for the shore end of the pier. An alarm of fire which was sent In brought out two companies of firemen,
 ali, ,a1I tI,N;,, ,;.rl,+ to rescue those who were under the debris. Three men are reported miss ing. They are Gaven Rutherford, Alex E. Wanseen and George Ramsey. These men were carpenters and were at work on the roof They are supposed to have bee nblown into the river and drowned.
