Venezuela boundary Decision

The boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana, which has been in dis
pute since lS4l, has been finally settled by
the award of the Paris tribunal of arbitra-
ton. The decision is in the nature of a
compromise. The complete control of the
mouth of the Orinoco river and of the gold
fields of the Yuruar river and tributaries
passes to Venezuela.
Great Britain gets territory which is
substantially included in what is known a.
the "Schomburgk line" about which so
much was said at the time of President
Cleveland's message. The most valuable
parts of the territory awarded to Great
Britain are the Essequibo and Cuyuni val
leys. The award sustains Great Britain's
contentious, in so far as it finds that the
true boundary, while it falls far short of
the extreme British claim, lies on the Ven
ezuela side of all the lines proposed by
Venezuela as compromises.

Work of Grading Begun Near Gageville
---Laree Force of Italians VIII BE
Rrought Here at Once---RoRd Will
he Ready TO Run May 1.
After months of vicissitudes, waiting,
and various discouragements, work was
actually begun yesterday in the grading
of the Saxtons River electric road. The
new contractors, G. W. Blakeslee * Broth
er of New Haven, arrived here yesterday
morning with small gang of Italians and
tools for much larger number. The grad
ing was begun near Gageville. The shan
ties for the boarding of large number
of Italians are being erected near Sabln
bridge, and the contractors say the full
force will be here next week, as soon as
the accommodations are ready.
The annual meeting of the company for
the election of new officers in the place OF

iron to lay IA miles of track was last

road and comes here from near
Rochester. n. H. 1t is 60-pound steel
which has been in use by that road, is not
worn. but is taken up to replace with heav-
Ter rails for the express trains. The ties
were distributed on the ground last spring
1t is the present intention of the con-
tractors to complete the grading, lay the
iron and set the poles before winter sets in,
and during the winter put in the abut-
ments of the two bridges and put the
bridges in place. Arrangements have been
made with the Bellows Falls Electric Light
company to furnish power, and they will
probably rebuild their plant during the
winter also With these plans carried out,
it is expected that cars will be run by May
1. This prospect pleases nearly every citi-
zen. Whatever may have been thought of
the seemingly large talk of what was 60
ing to be done, and no apparent effort to
do it, the building of the road, if capital
can be furnished, gives practically univer-
sal satisfaction.

In the death Mrs. Alice Sherwin, wife

day evening, Oct. l, her family, the church
of which she was member, and the COM

not we'll be estimated. Quiet and reserved

church work, and always ready to comfort

long illness, which was borne with so
much patience, she always carried cheer
full face. The funeral was held in the Bap-
fist church Wednesday afternoon, and her
pastor, the Rev. J. r Haskins, paid a
beautiful tribute to her character and
worth, and to the sweet singer, who would
be so much missed. The beautiful flowers
that covered and surrounded her caskel
testified to the loving appreciation of her
many friends.

COOmbs In Another Bicycle Accident.


Irwin w. Coombs was riding a bicycle
in front of the Cheshire House at Keene
Monday evening when the wheel broke at
the fork, throwing him violently to the
ground, cutting long cash over the right
ear and rendering him unconscious. He
was taken into the Cheshire House and
two physicians were summoned, but he
was found not to have been very seriously
injured and was taken home in a hack.
Coombs was the former champion of the
Vermont Wheel club. He won several
races on the track in '94, and was one of
the most promising amateurs at the big
Springfield meet, but a man fell in front OF
him in handicap race and bunch of
riders went down, Coombs being so seri-
ously injured that he could not ride again
that season. The next year he won time
prizes in several road races, and in 'o8,

SPORTING.
Cincinnati at His Feet.
A Former BrRttIeborO BOY, who IL a
Wonderful Base Ball Player.


The Cincinnati Enquirer had the follow
ing in its account of the first appearance
in that city of James Barrett, formerly of
Brattleboro, as right fielder of the Cincin-
naiis: Barrett was the sensation. He
had the big Sunday crowd cheering his
fine playing from start to finish. His
score shows what splendid work he did.
He was at the plate eight times in the two
games and reached first every time he
faced the pitcher Twice lie walked to
first on battery errors, four times he beat
out infield grounders by his fast running,
and the other times he hit the ball clean
and hard.
The Enquirer quotes Chance and Grit
fifth of the Chicago club as saying that
Barrett is the fastest man they have ever
seen in getting down to first base, and
under the heading Baseball Gossip" says !:
Figuratively speaking, Jimmie Barrett
has Cincinnati at his feet. BY yards the
fastest ball player that ever wore a Gin
cinnati uniform, was the unanimous YER
dict of great crowd of Cincinnati rooters
that witnessed yesterdays double header.
''Sandow" Mertes's unprecedented feat Of
hitting the ball over the fence twice in one
game, Hahn's superb pitching, and all the
fine points in yesterdays big bill, were to-
tally eclipsed by the grand work of the
Reds new yOungster.
He was the talk of the town last night.
He was at the plate eight times in the two
games and he reached first base every one
of the eight times. On four different oc-
casions he made base hits out of balls that
were handled by inflelders. He got away
from the plate with the swing of his bat
like champion sprinter leaves the mark
at the crack of a pistol. He fairly flew
down the path to first base. Last night
you could have found enthusiastic Barrett
men in the city who would be willing to
post forfeit that the Reds feet young
blood can beat Keller, Beaumont, Hamil-
ton or any other league high.stepper 30
yard dash.
Cincinnati has never had player that
could approach Barrett in getting down to
first. After his first time up when he beat
out an infield hit the crowd cheered him
enthusiastically every time he went to the
plate. He made record of 1000 per cent.
Not only did he show up well at the bat,
but he played a promising game in the
field. He made a sensational catch of a
long fly from Bill Lange's bat in the eighth
inning of the first game. After long run
he got the ball at the foot of the right field
embankment. Barrett seems to be nat
ural fielder.
