Jamaica Man Ran "Amuck" at Gram
willie,


G. L. Gould, from the classic town OF
Jamaica, Vt, came over to this place Tues
day morning to peddle potatoes. The first
thing he did was to get drunk. Later in
the day he made use of Truman Temples
corn-held for a race track and then substi-
tuted North street, where he ran his team
back and forth under constant whip lash
ing, yelling all the while in manner
which would make a Comanche Indian
blush with envy and INDUCING in foul
language and shocking blasphemy. Finally
he got down on TO Maine street and con-
tinued his reckless and unmolested driving,
and just before the evening train was due
attempted to drive up the railroad track.
After going a short distance, however,
Officer Roberts took him in charge. Judge
Martin committed him to the coop TO sober
up Wednesday morning the court i'm
posed fine of SO, which was guaranteed
by Frank Beecher, the prisoner having no
funds. The person, drunk or sober, who
will misuse horses or convert the public
streets into a race track as Gould did,
ought to get ten years at Dannemora.

Change at the Mills.

An Improvement whereby the Product
ofths international mills Is Loaded
Into Cars without Carting.
r. B. Wolfe, formerly employed in the
manufacturing department OF the hudson
River Paper company, and later, after
that mill came into the International Pa
per company's combination, engaged at
various points for that company, has come
70 Bellows Falls and will probably be en-
ployed here by Superintendent Riley per-
manently.
An important improvement is being
made by the international Paper company,
whereby all the product of the mills at the
south end of the line Of their mills those
known as "Barrett's side'), will be shipped
d;rect from the mills to the cars, instead
of being carteG by teams.
A heavy bank wall is being built by the
aide of the line Of the Boston q Maine
railroad, opposite the Eve story coating
mill. From the wall an overhead bridge
Is to be built to the top story of that build
ing, so the finished paper can be loaded d.
rectly upon the cars at that point The paper
comes from the other mills into this one,
through another bridge on the east side OF
the coating mill, coming in upon the third
story. 1t is then lifted to the top story by
a powerful elevator, and so it reaches the
ears with much less expense than hereto
fore. Superintendent Riley is studying
closely the problem of reducing cost OF
handling, and cost of manufacture, to the
minimum figure, and has many similar
plans for future improvements. The re-
mainder of the product of the mills of this
company has for the past 10 years or more
been shipped by rail from the north end Of
the mills, the cars being set in upon theil
siding directly from the line of the Rutland
road
