SEMINARY NOTES.

An interesting and somewhat excit-
ing debate on the high license question
was held at the Seminary on Saturday
evening. The subject read, "Rcsolved,
That high license would be more bene-
fetal 10 Vermont than Prohibition. :"
Most OF the volunteers spoke in favor
of high license, two members Of the
faculty defending prohibition. The adj
vocation Of high license had things all
their own way and brought out many
new points in its favor. The board of
decision, composed of Mr.. Brown and
Misses Marsh and Georgia Towers,
decided in favor of high license, two to
one. and the lyceum went the same
way by small majority. Carver and
Miss Brown had the affirmative while
Stearns and Miss Wal>ton defended pro-
hibition. Among the volunteers on the
affirmative We're, Lamb, Tenney and
Severance, on the negative Miss lsham,
Small and Prof. IIollister. A recitation
by Miss Hall and living pictures, taken
from the Wood Art gallery completed
the program.
Jonn Gay cut his foot quite badly the
other night on a piece of glass and is
confined to his room. He ran down
over the bank in pursuit of a football
and stepped on an old broken bottle
which cut right through his shoe and
made considerable of IL yash in his foot.

ABOUT RAILROAD CARS.
What Some of Them Cost and What
They Weigh.

What Some of Them Cost and What
They Weigh.
An ordinary passenger car on steam
railroad costs from 81, 900 to $4,000
and weighs 38, 900 pounds, or 10 tons.
A mail car, which costs from SO, 900 to
81, 500 and is shorter by about quar-
ter than the ordinary passenger coach,
weighs 50, 900 pounds, or 16 tons. A
baggage car without the baggage in it
weighs 20, 900 pounds, or ID tons, and
costs about as much as mail car. A
sleeping Car is more expensive than any
Of the others, and it weighs good deal
more too. A plain, simple, but durable
sleeping car. with observatory attach
ments, literary annex and culinary de-
partment, costs anywhere from $40, 900
to $40, 900. The average weight of
sleeping car is from 20 to 70 tons.
A full train in motion. as little fig
uring will show, is no light affair. The
ordinary weight of the railroad locomo-
tive for passenger service, inclusive Of
tender, but not of fuel in the tender, is
40 tons. One baggage Car weighs IA
tons and one mail car l6 tens, tringing
up the weight of the locomotive and
the baggage and mail cars to 70 tons.
Six passenger cars at an average Of 10
tons, weight Of baggage, of the fuel car
riod and eight cars would be 1874 tons,
OF 36S, 900 pounds, exclusive of the pas
sengers and mail matter.
Pulling 1874 tons along rails. at the
rate Of so miles an hour or more is an
achievement which has not been easily
brought about, and the more the prob
lem is studied the more clearly it is un-
derstood how far the mechanical work
Oh railroads has been pushed. There
We're ty the last figures reported 36, 900
railroads, $4,000 passenger cars and
5000 mail and baggage cars. These
figures seem large until compared with
the number of freight cars Oh American
railroads, and then they seem insignii-
cant, for the number of freight cars in
use is 1880, 900.
Freight cars among the railroad men
are divided into four classes-flat cars,
such as are used for the transportation
of stone, machinery and lumber; box
cars such as are used for the transporta-
tion of grain, fruit and ordinary lner-
chandise; stock cars, such as are used
for cattle, and coal cars, such as are
used for the transportation Of coal and
oil, those used for oil being supplied
with tanks. The average weight of a
fiat or gondola car is seven tens. The
car costs from $500 to $400. Box cars
weigh ton more and cost 500 more
each. Stock cars weigh eight tons each
on the average. Coal cars weigh three
tons each. 1t costs about 5000 TO build
coal or Gil cars, and they are designed
to carry five tons apiece Tho weight
of so coal cars is $50 tons and Of their
contents, if all filled, 2G0 tons, which,
with locomotive and cabooso added,
make 42O tons as the weight Of train.
1t may be added roughly that the weight
of loaded trains-passenger, coal or
reight-ranges from 200 to $50 TONS
The lighter the train the greater the
speed. That's the railroad rule.-Bos-
ton Traveller.

WHICH WILL WINp

And now the program Of local enter
tainments contain a lively scrap between
the Mayor and the Mcfarland & Bovce
Spring Water Company.
1t seems that the ladies, OF some of
them, being somewhat divided on the
question, want to connect the spring
water system with the drinking foun-
tain in the park. The necessary exca-
vations were made and all was progress
ing serenely till an obstacle arose in the
person of special officer Perry who ap-
peared on the scene Saturday and com
manded suspension of work as per Or
der Of the Mayor.
The spring water company took the
matter before Judge Start who rendered
decision Saturday that the injunction
did not cover any part of the park, but
he further stated that permit from the
City Council would have to be procured
before the spring water could be put in.
The city council of course, want the city
water used, and work on the fountain
is at standstill. Some of our legal
lights claim that the permission given
the ladies to improve the park is all
that is necessary.
BE that as it may work is at present
suspended and the officers have been
guarding the park night and day since
Saturday. This morning L. J. Griffin
and gang OF workmen, for the ladies',
attempted to make the connection, but
officer Perry objected and they with
drew. Perry was relieved this forenoon
by special officer Caybue who is at pres
ent guarding the excavation. The May
or insists that city water shall be used
and the citizens are wondering which
side will come out ahead.

Alex Carol of Montpelier an apprent-
ice employed by f. l.. Tracey & Co., OF
this city came very near losing his life
about two o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Tracy sent him with a span of
horses and lumber wagon to Burnham

Main Street and turned across the Barre
r. r. tracks just as the Mountain King
with train of freight cars in charge of
Engineer McIlugho was backing up the
track towards the quarry.
lie evidently did not hear the train
coming till it struck him although
McHugho sounded the whistle and bell.
The first car struck the team about
midway, throwing the horses against q
lumber pile. .demolishing the font gear
Of the wagon, and throwing Mr.. Carroll
out across the track.
One set of trucks passed over his left
leg just below the knee, causing COM
pound fracture. McHugho brought the
team to dead stop almost Instantly.
Mr.. Carol did not lose consciousness
at all, and was removed from under the
car by NJ. F. Burnham and others who
stood by and placed upon some plank
near by.
Drs. Reid and Delmage were quickly
upon the spot and corded the limb to
stop the bleeding.
The train pulled right back into the
yard and taking passenger car return
ed TO the scene of the accident. Mr..
Carrot was put aboard and taken to his
home in the Langdon block Montpelier,
accompanied by the physicians.
He will undoubtedly have to lose the
limb. lie also received severe scalp
wound. The horses were slightly
scratched.

RUN OVER BY A STREET CAR
A HORSE INSTANTLY KILLED ON
FIRST STREET.
The Animal, Which Was Loose, At
tempted to Gross the Street In
Front of Rapid Transit Car.

Last night about S:35 there was an acct
dent on the Rapid Transit line in which
a horse was run over by a First street
car and killed. The car, with G. J..
Badertscher as motorman and Hemmin-
way as conductor was running west on
First street and had reached a point be-
tween n and o streets when two horses
started to run out of a vacant lot. They
were chased by a boy ana as they started
across the street the motorman saw them
and rang his gong. The horses kept on
and the motorman saw that one of them
would be struck b. the car so he re-
versed the current and applied the brakes,
but without effect.
The horse either did not notice the
car or depended upon 1t to get out of his
across just in front of the car. The
women on the car screamed as they saw
what was about to happen and about the
same time the horse struck the dash
board of the car. A crash followed and
the ear came to a sudden stop as it
jumped the track The animal was then
found to be almost under the car, just
its hind legs being visible sticking out
from under ii. A telephone message was
sent for the wrecking car and it soon
arrived. The car was raised and the
dead horse was dragged from under it
The animal was badly mangied. 1t was
the property of Mr.. Pierpont, who lives
near the place.
Yesterday afternoon a woman jumped
off of a Rapid Transit c2r near the cornor
of Twelfth South and Ninth East while
the car was in motion and narrowly
escaped serious injuries. She had in her
TO stop, but stepped off while it was going
at good rate of speed. The result was
that she and the baby went rolling over
in the dust. Luckily she escaped with
only a few bruises while the child was
uniniured. The name of the woman
could not be learned.
